able characteristics Among the
Osages, who are literally rolling
in wealth" great extravaganza
prevails, especially when they re
ceive their annuity moneys, which
pass through their fingers like
water, says the New York Herald.
The halfbreed citizens of the
tribe are possibly more reckless
than the full blOods. Several half
breed families who lived in pow.
erty before they succeeded in get
ting their names on the tribal
rolls, suddenly found themselves
possessed of fortunes, which dis
appeared like the dust in the des-

these incidents of Usage extrava.
gance;
1--WE recall the case of several
members of a family admitted,
but afterward stricken from the
rolls, who received at one time
$4,000 back money, At one time
they continued to draw the regu-
lar per capita annuity, notwith-
standing they were soon reduced
to penury.
"The first expenditure was to
pay attorneys and others aiding
them to get on the rolls; for this
purpose they used much of their
money. AS soon as the money was
fully in their hands the extrav-
agance began.
Notwithstanding the fact
that they probably never had had
two suits of clothing each, nor
perhaps more than a dollars
worth of sugar in the house at one
time, every member of the family
was soon fully fitted out with
clothing. Sugar was purchased
by the barrel, fruit by the case and
everything else in proportion.
"In commenting upon this re-

structiOn than he had ever wit
messed before.
"On one corner of the porch sat
a case of California canned peach
es which the children were eating
at will. Out in the yard stood a
barrel of sugar where it had been
rolled from the wagon several
days before. 1t had been opened
and left uncovered. A passing
shower had moistened the con
tents, which afterward hardened
in the sun.
"a lump as big as a -four sack
was lying in the yard, kicked about
by the children and played over
by the dogs. Other things, includ-
ing a complete bolt of calico, en-
tirely new, were cast about the
yard in reckless disregard of
value.
"Since this family has been
stricken from the rolls it has been
in very reduced circumstances
Truly the foo and his money are
soon parted.
"Another family was placed on
the rolls and drew nearly $13, 900.
In less than II months the entire
amount was squandered and past
due mortgages on chattels were
foreclosed by creditors.
Although this family lived in
Pawhuska and had no conceivable
use for more than one wagon, the
father found it necessary to OWE
three. Every child on the place
was provided with a pony and sad
die, and they had guns galore
They had one built by special or

firm"

Dear Sir:
 You have submitted to this office for opinion the question as to who are entitled to vote at the election for school bonds this district next Monday, Feb. 20. Sec. 21S2 provides that the question of issuance of bonds shall he submitted to the taxpayers of the district. Sec. 21S2 provides for a levy to be made upon the taxable property in the district for the re- demption of such Eonds. Sec. PFC of the Revised Statutes sets forth the general qualifications of electors at The language Of Sec. 21S2 is en- tirely too broad in the construction which would permit all taxpayers" to vote at a bond election. as this would give minors as well as adults. non-residents as well as residents the right to vote. Construing the two provisions together l am of opinion that such as possess the requirements of Sec PFC and are actual taxpayers in the district are entitled to vote; and that any woman possessing the requirements is also entitled to vote, she being a taxpayer.
 Yours truly,

SCHOOL BOND ELECTION TOMORROW
 Little Interest in Evidence
 THOSE WHO MAY CAST BALLOTS

On Monday the election will be held for the purpose of voting on the prop osition whether or no the taxpayers of Bisbee school district are in favor of issuing bonds in the sum of $75,00O for the purpose of erecting a new school building on the site of the Cen tral building, and the purchase of suitable lots therefor.
 As is usual, in such questions, there appears to be but little interest taken in the subject. The Review has heard expressions for and against the prop osition by taxpayers, those opposed expressing the opinion that the sum asked for by the trustees is excessive. On the other hand it is argued by those favoring the bond issue that it is not practical to longer continue to patch up the Central building, or to make additions, and at the rapid rate of increase of population, a building should be erected now for all time.
 Regarding the question often dis cussed as to who is entitled to vote at the election Monday the Board of Trustees are in receipt of a communi- cation from the Assistant District At torney of the county as follows:

How Habits Are Formed.

The formation Of physical habit
involves the education of a portion
of the brain; and when the habit has
once been formed the act may be per-
formed almost independently of the
will or the higher brain. This fact
should impress us most profoundly
with the Importance of forming right
habits, since it is apparent that the
getting rid of wrong habit involves
not only the formation of right
habit, but the far more tedious and
difficult work of undoing the evil
work which has been done in the
wrong education of the brain. This
same principle applies to the higher
centers which are concerned only In
mental acts, as we shall see later 1t
is indeed most momentous thought
that every act of our lives, not only
emanates from the brain, but modi-
fies and changes the brain, thus influ-
encing our characters.

LIBERALS ARE ANGRY;
BALFOUR MAY RESIGN

London, July 22.-The government
was defeated in the house of commons
by a majority of three, on the mo-
ton to reduce the membership of the
Irish land commission.
On the announcement of the vote
a scene of the greatest excitement
was produced by the Liberals and the
Irish members yelling "Resign!"
The incident is considered hardly
of sufficient Importance to justify the
government in resigning, but when
asked by Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
mon, the leader of the opposition,
what course he intended to pursue,
Premier Balfour declined to make a
statement.
John Redmond, leader of the Irish
party, said the premier had repeat
eddy declared that he would resign
if defeated, and if he disregarded this
vote of want of confidence he would
be acting against all precedents. Was
he going to swallow this humiliation
as he swallowed every other humilia-
ton during the last few years, the

LAND is GOOD FOR GOATS.
Much Given Back to choctaws after
Timber L. Cut.

South McAlester. I. T., July "a. -
The valuable timber lands of the
Choctaw nation are rapidly passing
into the hands of the big lumber COM
panies. Millions of feet are changing
hands daily. The average price for
good timber is $3.50 thousand feet.
Dozens of sawmills are in operation
in various parts of the nation, and
the timber is rapidly converted into
lumber worth $1S and 500 a thousand
feet.
The land upon which this timber
grows is unfit for agricultural pur-
poses, being billy and covered with
rocks. Some of the lumber companies
give the land back to the Indian after
they have stripped it of its valuable
timber. The fine pine timber will
soon be thing of the past in the
Choctaw nation, and instead there will
be miles and miles of barren land, fit
only for goat ranch or some other
institution of a similar character.

SAILS FOR PANAMA:

control of operations Immediately on

Neither Mr.. Shonts nor Mr.. Stevens

both said they would prefer to wait
until their return before talking or
conditions down there. They told
something of the plans, however, and
the work they proposed to do at once
to assure the success of the canal
buildings. Mr.. Shonts said he had
heard many complaints regarding con-
ditions on the isthmus, but had paid
no attention to them.
There are men down there who
have just complaint. and that is that
they have nothing to do but work.
They have no amusements and no

premier was asked by Mr.. Redmond
Mr.. Balfour, replying very cody,
said that Mr.. Redmond had greatly
agitated himself over a matter which
could be settled in due time. He was,
he said, not conscious of any humilia-
ton. There would be ample oppor-
tunity within a few hours of proving
whether the government still enjoyed
the confidence of the majority of the
house.
The premier said he would consult
his colleagues as to whether the ques-
ton would again be submitted to n
vote and would make a statement
Monday.
After some wrangling over the
question of whether to adjourn until
Monday, it was decided to adjourn I'M
til today.
The Associated Press understands
that it is practically certain the gov
eminent will neither resign nor dis
solve parliament. 1t is not unlikely,
however, that Mr.. Long, the chief
secretary for Ireland, will resign.

Use of Tobacco by Minors.

The use Of tobacco by children, its
causes and prevention is discussed
In the Medical Summary.
Whilst most states have laws forbid.
ding the sale of tobacco to minors, it
is notorious fact that such laws are
universally ignored. The parent,
teacher and physician are to blame.
The parent, that he does not thor
oughly train his child; the teacher,
that he does not better supervise the
conduct of his pupils; the doctor, in
that he does not warn the parent,
who perhaps errs himself.
School boys may be seen any day
on their way to school with books I'M
der their arms, and chew of tobacco
or a cigarette in their mouths Oc-
casionally little girls may be observed
indulging in the seductive cigarette
on the streets. What will be the in
evitable results? The best that could
be hoped would be numerous tobacco
users, but worse might be feared, and
very much worse imagined.
The evil is evident, and the remedy
is provided, but law is useless till en-
forced on violation. The dealer will
not obey it till public sentiment de-
mands it; the child does not choose to
submit to it; the parent is negligent;
the pupil is Indifferent or silent; and
what is left for the child's salvation
but action upon the part of the guard
ians of humanity. If we act, we move
thankless. The parent will not appre-
ciate; the dealer will be made an
enemy; ard the children will hate us
as they become men. Pastor and
priest, lawyer and laymen will sheer
IL we attempt to enforce the laws.
Even but few of our own body poll
tic may be depended upon to act, eth
'er by precept or concerted movement.
Few physicians are even good enough
politicians to ask a councilman or rep
resentative to vote upon measure.
The effort against the evil is necessa-
rily, for the time, along the lines of
individual effort To do good, we
must practice, act, and preach. If
our smoking" friends will close their
eyes while putting pipe or cigar, they
will find they cannot tell when they
"have fire. What foolishness, to
spend money and waste health to
watch smoke curl. Horace Greeley de-
, fined a cigar as "a roll of tobacco with
fire at one end and fool at the 9TH
err" and we think him more than
half right. If the use of tobacco by
the adult be such idiocy what shall
I'VE say of its consumption by the
minor?

The Charity Organization Society OF
New York, in a handbook on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis. encourages
the active campaign against this great
plague and gives concise summary
of why" the battle should be waged.
Because more people die of con-
sumption than from any other dis
ease.
Each year 1,095,0O0 of the people Of
the world die of it. In the United
States over 100000 die every year of
consumption. Every day 5000, and
each minute of the day two persons
fall before this enemy. How many of
your friends have died of it?
Because it is a disease which
spreads from one person to another,
and any one may catch it.
Because it is chiefly caused by the
filthy habit of splitting.
Because it is disease which can be
topped, and need not spread.
Because every one may and should
clip stop it.
Because already there is change for
lie better. The number of deaths
from consumption is growing less
Twenty years ago there were many
more deaths in proportion to the pop
ulation than now.
! If the tuberculosis death rate of 1886
had been maintained the first nine
months of 1902, four thousand more
persons in Manhattan and the Bronx
would have died of tuberculosis than
actually died in these months.
} Could anything be found more in
spring, more plainly indicative of the
need for extending the work against
this disease?

tions get home-sick, of course. What
they want is amusement, healthy
games and outdoor exercise. We will
establish a separate department and
we expect to establish club houses
across the isthmus.
"Mr. Stevens and l saw the presi-
dent, and we talked over the canal
plans in a general way. OF course,
the kind of canal to be built Is yet to
be decided upon. I should say that 1T
would take ten or twelve years to
construct a sea level canal, and about
five years to build lock canal"
Mr.. Shonts said that arrangements
have been made to carry on the work
without any interruption whatever,
should Mr.. Stevens sign as chief engi-
neer. Mr.. Stevens said that he was
going to the canal zone with an open
mind and would make the best of
conditions as he finds them.
Speaking of the possibility of Chin
ese labor being employed he said
Il have tried the Chinese in this
country, and found them good. I will
try many experiments until we get
the best kind of labor"
