POSED AS PREACHER
FoRGER AND Ex.coNvIcT FAILS
TO ELuDE OFFICERS OF
THE LAW.

Hampton, July IL. - An ex.convict
and a forger, but travelling as Ger
man preacher, is the record of John
Harms, who is now confined in the
Franklin county Jail awaiting the fall
term of the district court to be tried
for forging the name of wealthy farm
er to a small check. Harms was co,F
victed of forgery and sent to the pen.
itentiary from this place over a year
ago. He served his sentence and re-
turned to Hampton where he COM
menced work on a farm.
1t was not long before bogus checks
were found In circulation and they
were traced to Marms. He found out
that the officers were after him and
made his escape, going northwest into
Hancock county and while travelling
through the country on foot he was
passing himself off as a minister. He
preached one Sunday night at church
northwest of Alexander and took up a
collection of several dollars. An at.
tempt to return to his own home for
a farewell visit with his parents was
the cause of his being captured by
Deputy Sheriff Rule.
An Odd Theory.
Since his confinement In the county
jail Harms uses his time In studying
the Bible and writing sermons which
he delivers to the other prisoners. He
says that he thinks he can do his fel
low men some good and that they
should believe the doctrines laid down
by preacher even though the preach
er does not live up to them.

MAY SELL La NDS
TWO MILLION ACRES WILL RE.
MAIN UNALLoTTED WHEN
COMMISSION FINISHES.

Muskogee,YI. r., July AZ. - Accord
ing to those in the best position to
know, when the Dawes commission will
nave completed its work of alloting
lands at least 2,000,0u0 acres will re,
main In Indian territory unsegregated
and unallotted. The greatest body of
this will lie in the Chickasaw.C hoctaw
country, and there will be none at all
IN the Cherokee nation. In the Creek
nation about 100000 acres will be
remaining unallotted, and there will be
about $4,000 acres in the Seminole ma.
ton. According to the Chickasaw-
ChoctaW treaties, the surplus lands in
those nations are to be sold at auc-
ton, after the allotment work is fin
lshed. Land buyers are already look
ing forward with anxiety to the time
when these sales will begin, but prob
ably they will have to wait at least
two years.
Good Farming Land.
Much Of the land which will remain
unallotted in the Chicasaw-C hoctaw
country is of the best agricultural quail
ity. This is due to the fact that many
Indians selected their homesteads in
the mountains. preferring the pine
timber allotments to those of tilable
nature. Although the unallotted lands
in the Creek and Seminole nations are
in the mountain districts, they probably
will be valuable for the ores they con-
tain. No provision has been made for
the disposal of the Seminole surplus
allotments, but those in the Creek ma
tons are to be sold by sealed bids.

wEATHER CONDITIONS ARE STILL
 IA DRAWBACK.
Temperatures Have Been Too Cool to Allow of the General Distribution of Spring and Summer
 Goods at Retail.

NEW YORK, May 2o.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 Weather conditions are still the ap- parent drawback in the trade and cror situation. Temperatures have been toe cool to allow of free distribution of spring and summer goods at retail, and they likewise retard examination and growth of crops. though permitting good progress in seeding in various sections of the country. In Jopbing circles the feeling is that the spring trade is past and gone and efforts are now concentrated on fall business. re- ports as to which are fairly good though not equal to year ago. Some faint evidences of improvement are to be noted, particularly in the shoe and leather industry and in wool at West ern markets, but against this are to be cited further weakness in iron, rather more quietness in lumber and talk ot further curtailment< in cotton produc- tion. The industrial situation is rather quiet, but the most serious strike of the year, that of masters and pilots on lake vessels, continues with no pros- pect of settlement. This has practi- cally killed transportation on the lakes and the coal and lumber trades ex- hibit the effects of the almost total stoppage of the activities of more than

 Minor metals have ruled quiet and coke Is weak, despite some reduction in out put. but there is vigorous demand for anthracite coal.
 Hides for late saltIng continue in good demand, branded steers and cows showing the most strength. Larger receipts of foreign dry hides have somewhat de- pressed prices. Aside from some activi- ty in hemlock sole for export to Great Britain, the leather market has ruled quiet. The only evidence of improvement in the primary market for cotton goods has been furnished by exporters and the new business was only accompanied by further concessions in price.
