Out West.

Poncs City, Okla, Jan. 31.-I had
the pleasure of meeting Milo Bump
and his most estimable wife and SON
Raymond at this place. j found them
well and enjoying the mild climate.
They say they never want to 60 back
to Iowa to live again. Mr.. Bump is
in the grocery business and also has
farm. He has $50 acres of fall.wheat.
This is great grain raising country
and hundreds of cattle and sheep and
few hogs are being fatted for the
market. The corn raised here is
sound and of good quality and
brings SO cents per bushel. Clarence
Bump, of your city, is here visiting
his brother. I had the opportunity
OF meeting James Eisiminger, form
erly of Mahaska county. He is farm
ing near Ponca City and thinks this
is the best grain country he ever saw.
He is blowing for oats now. / met
Fred and Robert Reed, former resi-
dents of Mauch Chunk. Fred has
eighty acres of wheat and is now
blowing for oats. wasl invited to
Robert Reeds to dinner and he
seems to be prospecting. He likes the
country better than Iowa. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dan Zumwalt, of Mauch Chunk,
are spending the winter here for the
benefit OF their health. Several
bands of Indians do their trading
at Ponca City. They are pleasant
and quiet and are we'll liked by the
people at Ponca City. This city has
about four thousand inhabitants, 1t
is on the Santa Fe railroad. believe
this would be good place for q
farmer to locate with moderate
means, and would add if Mahaska
county people want to come west to
come to Ponca City. l went out to
the reservation today and saw corn
fields of 100 acres. helped husk a
load of corn that gave rs bushels to
the acre, The farmers claim they
average 80 to rs bushels to the
acre every year. The green fields of
wheat look lovely. Today was pay
day for the Indians and the town
was full of Indians, squaws and
papooses.
Some ranches out here have $500
acres all in corn. Some days as high
as 300 loads of corn come to the
Ponca City elevators in one day. I
saw herd of 1900 sheep today, fat
tening for the Kansas City market.
Some were shipped last week which
brought S5.75 per hundred pounds.
Every person have asked as to how
5hey like this territory claim they
never found place they liked better

IGNORANT OF DIPLOMACY.
venetian's Are Surprised Almost to
Stupor by the Election.

VENICE, Aug. 4.-The election of
CARDINAL Safto as pope produced here
an impression more of Stupor than
anything else because his candidacy, in
which he never put much faith, seemed
almost hopeless, and also because 1t
was thought here that, although man
of great piety, he was lacking in one
of the eminent qualifications of pope,
being ignorant of diplomacy
For instance, the fact that he speaks
nothing but Italian was considered a
great drawback, as every pontiff is
obliged to receive many personages
who are unfamiliar with the Italian
language. e.
The news was communicated to his
sisters, who live with him in the pal
ace of the patriarch, and great
crowd gathered there to register. Many
shops were closed and some of the
most important personages Of Venice
went to the patriarch's palace to con-
yey congratulations to his sisters,
among them being Don Carlos, the
Spanish pretender, and his wife, who
spent some time there, being personal
acquaintance of the new pope.
The people of Venice believed that If
Cardinal Sarto was elected he would

Plus x, came from the province Of

Plus is much admired here. At 6
o'clock every morning he was in the
habit Of going out for a long walk, usu-
ally to the sandy islands of Lido, which
separate the lagoons of Venice from
the Adriatic sea, as he loved exercise
and the country very much. He often
went to his native village of Riese,
where he has many poor relations
whom he helped.

Norris street, and he was found there

to wake" the little fellow to take him
to the station.
When questioned by Lieut.. Hanft
the little fellow wept piteously.
II didn't steal the horse" he cried;
II only took him to drive to the car
nfval." The little boy is less than three
feet high, and came to the city. leaving
his shoes and stockings behind him.
! Willie ran away from his home
three weeks ago, and since then had

the attention of Policeman McIAugh-
lin, who is stationed at the union de-

smoke cleared away, Clark was found
lying wounded at the entrance to the

the police station, where their wounds
were dressed by surgeons, who had
been summoned to care for Lieut..
Revier.
While the pursuers were chasing
Clark, Nelson, the injured motorrnan,
was taken to Vogelis drug store, a
, short distance from where the shooting
occurred. His wounds were dressed by
physician, and he was able to go to
his home unassisted.
Clark's Wounds Serious.
Lieut. Revier's injuries were not Sc
we're, and he and Williams were attends,
ed to at the central police station.
Clark's wounds were found to be dam
gerous, and after a hurried examina-
ton at the police station he was taken
to the city hospital. He refused to
discuss the case and would give no
reason for his attack on Nelson.
Nelson told the police that he was at
loss to know what caused the trouble,
as he had never before seen Clark until
the man opened fire upon him. While
Clark was the name that the assailant
gave the police, Lieut.. Revier is in
clined to think it an assumed one, for
when searched a pay check was found

Claire police have been asked to look

Early this morning all the victims of
the shooting ARRAY were resting easily,

STATE PENSION
BUREAU IS SUCCESS
Work of Maj. Seebach's De-
partment Is Steadily
Growing.

In July there were granted through
the efforts of the pension department OF
the adjutant generals Office thirty APP
plications for pensions, which Is the
largest number yet recorded. This de-
partment is conducted by Maj. Oscar
Seebach, whose duty 1t is under the law
to prosecute all pension claims free of
charge and for the past two years or
since the advent OF the present adj
ministration of the pension bureau the
number OF claims allowed has been
steadily growing. The average of claims
granted two years ago was from eight to
ten month but recently 1t has been
twenty-Six per month
OF the applications granted in the
month of July twelve were on claims of
widows three on claims of veterans of
the Spanish american war, five on orig
inaI pension claims of veterans of the
civil war and ten We're increases of pen
sions for service in the ciy9h war; The
fees for the prosecution of these claims
at regular rates would have been $3.50,
and that amount was saved to the appli-
cants. The pensions granted ranged
from Sc to $50 and the average was
$12.13. The aggregate of the accrued
first payments under these pensions was
s2.338.70.
Three of these widows claims were
granted after they had been pending less
than two months and one of these had
been previously rejected four times.

followed closely after him, firing the
revolver four times in quick succession.
The last shot at the motorman entered
Nelson's right cheek.
When the shooting began the streets
were practically deserted, as 1t was
raining torrents, when Clark opened
fire. But the noise of the revolver soon
attracted a large crowd, and in mo-

had gathered about the corner, where

Police Start Chase.
Patrolman John Larson rushed to

the first arrivals When Clark saw
the policeman, he dashed from the
crowd. Larson gave chase and fol-

bold assassin, as he fed down Wash

turned north. Larson blew his whistle
for aid, and the entire detail at central

Leo XIII. always thought very highly
of him, and sided with him ON one oc-
casion when Sarto disproved of Ram
polla's policy. He is very learned in
ecclesiastical doctrines, is modest, en-
ergetic, a good administrator and Or
ganizer, patron of the arts and his
seriousness has always been proverb-
ial. ssr 7!g
Early in April Pope Leo, in CONVERSE
ton with Father Perosi, the Italian
composer, said in speaking of Cardinal
Sarto: Hold him very dear, Perosi,
as in the future he will be able to do
much for you. We firmly believe he
will be our successor"
The new pope has, been known for
many years as one of the greatest
preachers in the church.
The new pope is one of eight chill.

of his sisters is a dressmaker another
is married to sacristan and peddler

pope is the seventh who has come from
