Societies Claims

All persons VINO live IN anu Cldlul
any of the projections, amenities
and benefits of a civilized com
munity, owe to that community a
full measure of return for all they
receive. There are duties that
every man or woman owes to the
community in which he lives. No
one has right to enjoy the bene
fits and privileges of a civilized
community without contributing his
part to the general welfare. No
young boy or girl can afford to grow
up without preparation for the
duties of life.
1t is as much the duty of young
person to cultivate agreeableness
and pleasant manners as it is to
prepare for any other duty of life.
1t is as much the duty of every
young person to be prepared to
contribute his part towards the en-
tainment of the circle in which he
moves as it is to prepare for any
other duty.
The young girl who expects to
move in society must prepare herself
70 contribute to the general enter
tainment. 1t is not enough that she
may be pleasant and agreeable but
see must be specially accomplished
in some line. She must sing, play, re-
cite, paint, draw, whistle, tellstories
or contribute in some other special
line to the general entertainment,
and the young person who does not
see to this preparation is preparing
to be leach on society.
The parents who are raising up
children and forget to instill this
principle into the minds of their
children are making a great mistake
in their duty toward Ae children.
1t is not that the child may out
shine some other child but that it
may be able to do its part in life.
Childhood and young man and
womanhood is but the preparation
period for the great responsibilities
of life. Life is not a mere existence
for personal qualification, or simply
a mad race for the accumulation of
money. 1t is an existence that
owes much to its environments. 1t
may be made rich with good deeds,
and noble thoughts. 1t may be full
of self sacrifices for the good of
others and sublime in the good &C
complished or selfish and sordid ac-
cording to the early training.
Too much are we growing into
the idea that money is the all of
life and nothing else is worth the
strife.
The most useful and honorable
lives are those that are lived for the
& )od of others.
Worldly goods may not be piled
up or political power attained but
the sweet consciousness of doing
right, and helping others is its own
reward.

Bio Gas Meeting

Fifty Chanute men attended the
big anti,gas piping meeting at Cof-
feyyille, Tuesday. They went by
the way of the Katy and were
returned in the evening by special
from Parsons.
The meeting was very large and
enthusiastic. One hundred and
fifty were there from independence.
The gas belt is decidedly in earnest
In its opposition to this piping
scheme and will leave no stones
unturned to stop it.
1t is a matter of the preservation
of our homes and our various in
dustries. 1t is simply question of
whether the gas belt of Kansas shall
become one of the richest and most
populous and prosperous sections of
the U. S. or, in few years become
simply an agricultural community,
relying on the uncertainty of the
winds and the rains for our susten-
ance.
Gas piping means the depopu'a
tion of the booming towns of the
belt .he destruction of the demands
for labor and a great depreciation
of land values as well as farm pro-
ducts. Why it is that any farmer,
whether he has gas on his land or
not, should favor the piping scheme,
is more than we can understand.
1t simply means cutting i'll two in
the middle, or worse, of land values
and great reduction of values in
all farm products.
1t is true some farmers would
receive small income from the
sale of gas for short time, pro-
badly little quicker than though
the pipe line should not come but
they will be the losers in the end.
Most of the leases in this locality
provide for the payment of only $50
per we'll to the farmer. BY the use
of these big suction pumps every
: foot of the gas can be drawn from
quarter section of land by the use
of couple of wells in year or two
at the outside and the farmers land
goes back in price to what it is
worth for agriculture. The pipe
line people do not even have to
pay you anything for your gas.
They can take a lease on your
neighbors farm and by boring holes
near the line draw every foot OF
your gas away and pay you moth
ing.
1t is time for our farmers to wake
ND to the exact conditions that will
be brought about by the pipe lines
No farmer who is alive to his own
ultimate interest will encourage this
pipe line business in any way or
think of granting franchise for
pipe line.
Do you think for minute that
after this pipe line is once establish
ed that these Mlssourians will have
any great love for you? Not much,
the old anti balum prejudice Still
exists and they will take your gas
for as little as possible and laugh at
you for being so easy.
If all the gas taken could be
measured by meter and paid for at
reasonable prices and each farmer
who has the product get his equit-

WORLD'SFA FAIR
MISREPRESENTED
The Great Exposition is Worthy
a Visit From all Who Can
Possibly Go.

Mark Bennitt, the courteous manag-
er OF the Press bureau at st. Louis, In
a letter with reference to erroneous
reports about st. Louis and the Worlds
fair closes with the following:
st. Louis seems also TO have been
given a bad name on account Of its
heat in summer / have spent two
entire summers here and have found
the city no hotter than several New
York and Illinois cities in which |
have spent the summer months. II
one will dress In the lightest clothing
and go about moderately he need not
suffer The nights are generally cool,
the wind blowing from the south. The
temperature rarely goes above 90 and
then only at midday for periods usually
less than week, cool spells alternat-
ing with warm ones throughout the
summer. All the large Exposition
buildings are 60 TO IS feet TO the roofs,
we'll ventilated and cool,
Artesian ice-water Is supplied at
hundreds OF drinking places through
out the grounds by means OF automatic
penny-in-the-slot machines Free drink
ing places are found in the state and
many other buildings. The prevari-
Gator who said he paid ten cents for a
glass OF water must have put dime
in the penny machine or tipped a
waiter.
The cost Of living In st. Louis is
about the same as in other cities OF
the middle west. Visitors find com.
Portable lodgings everywhere within
easy distances Of the Worlds Fair at
one dollar per night per person for
lodgings, usually two In 4 room; often
cheaper place may be found Meals
are 25 cents and upward. Inquiry AT
a grocery or drug store will usually
enable visitors TO ind good place:
quickly.
Intending visitors 10 the World:
Fair may secure much information
from the railroad ticket offices, and q
good knowledge Of the general plan o.
the Exposition and Us leading features
will save much time upon arrival al
the grounds.
The publication Of such Of the fore
going facts as may seem best 70 yo'
/ will help 10 correct some Of the mis-
leading statements about st. ui
and the Worlds Fair that have beer
wantonely circulated II may also in
iiuence many persons 20 avail them
selves Of this opportunity ofa Lifetime
TO see the best fruits Of industry an'
genius here gathered IN orderly array

A REPORT FROM
LAND OFFICE
Statement Showing Progress
of Allotment Work at the
Cherokee Land Office.

The Dawes commission has compiled
a partial statement showing progress
of the work Of allotment at the Chero-
kee land efliee.
The report shows that during last
May there were applications for lO0,-
740.sl acres OF land, valued at s363,r
97079 This, added to the number
applied for during the nine months
the Office was open prior 10 this time,
makes total Of l,l65,84l.ss acres Of
land, valued at s3,937, ,340.1 for which
application had been made by Chero-
kee citizens up TO the first Of the pres
ent month.
The following tabulated statement
shows the status Of Cherokee allot-
ments and applications up to June ],
1901:
Applications for allotment from
May 2, 1904, TO May 81, 1904, inclusive,
1902.
Applications approved from May ?,
1904, to May 81, 1904, inclusive, l,Ol4
Applications withheld for various
causes during the same time. 7ss.
During the last month 353 citizen
ship certificates, eyidencing the right
III persons to select allotments, were
issued; also POP reservation tickets,
showing that 443 persons had applied
for enrolment as Cherokee citizens,
and whose right TO allotments had not
yet been determined During the
month Sis tickets Of admission 10 the
land ONCE were issued, l32 OF which
were TO fullbloods, making the total
number Of tickets issued up to that
time 1859, OF which ll,46s are regu-
lar tickets, and LII fullblood tickets.
The report also shows that 2,7l4 al
lotment certificates and 1923 home
stead certificates were written, checked
and prepared for the signature OF the
chairman OF the committee during the
month, and that approximately $50
allotment certificates and $50 home
stead certificates, which had already
been prepared, were mailed TO the al
lottees. These were practically the
first certificates ever delivered IN the
| Cherokee Nation.
Prior TO May ,. last, only 560 con-
tests had been fled. The total num-
Der pending at the close Of May was
$50. The report shows that a. the
end Of the month the fetal number Of
contests disposed Of In the Cherokee
Nation was eIghty-four, of Which
twenty.one were decided during the
last month
There are a number Of reasons as
signed FOR the Increased rapldity of
the allotment Of Cherokee lands. In
the first place the clerks naturally be
come more efficient as the work pro-
gresses, but what Is probably greater
cause is that, when the office was
opened before, the work was OCCASION
ally interrupted. Also, the discovery
Of oil and coal since that time has
produced an incentive which has yif-
tually terminated IN Q rush for the
best lands.
