DEPARTMENT WILL
 STAND BY LEASE
SENATOR LONG CoNFERS WITH PRESIDENT ABOUT THE STAND ARD OIL CO.'S LEASES ON KAN SAS OIL LANDS.

Washington, February H.-Senator Lcng today conferred with the President in regard to the protest of the Kansas legislature against the renewal of the blanket lease of 100000 acres of oil lands of the Pare Indian reservation in Oklahoma territory.
 The protest alleged that under the lease the lands were held by the Standard oil company through a company subsidiary to that corporation, but this is not the understanding of the President, the Secre- tary of the Interior or the members of the Kansas delegation in Congress. The decision was reached and the announce ment authorized that the administration will stand by the limited extension con- tained in Senate amendment to the In- dian appropriation bill The Senate bill provides that any allotments which may be made of the Osage reservation in Okla homa territory, shall be made subject to the terms and conditions of a lease dated March 16. 1896, given by the Osage na- tion to Ed in B. Foster. This lease was approved by the Secretary of the Interior. and through assignments similarly ap- proved Is now owned by the Indian Ter rtory Illuminating oil company
 The extension of the Foster lease'' for term of ten years Is authorized by the amendment to the property actually de- veloped under the original lease. The lands developed amount to about s6S0,00 acres. No extension Is authorized of the lease covering about GOO acres of oil fields that remain undeveloped. Under the renewal authorized the lease will contain all the conditions of the original lease. except that from and after March 16 1906 the royalty to be paid on these shall be sl0J a year on each gas well instead of $50.
 Senator Lond stated today that it was not his understanding that the Standard On company had any connection with the producing company holding the leases and 1t was believed at the interior de- partment that the company developing the property should be given an oppor- tunity to get sorle return for their finan- cial outlay. The decision of the interior department to stand by the lease so far as it concerned developed property, meets his approval.

About year ago my vision began to fail me, and continued to grow gradu
 ally worse. 1 tried several specialists and took drugs enough to kill 2 horse. I had several different kinds of glasses made. But they were of no real service to me. My vision became so l could not see to read and my far vision became so indis- tinct l could hardly tell one object from another. 1 had made up my mind that l was going to become totally blind. My daughter read of the marvellous work of Charles Lincoln Smith and l decided to call on him and see if he could do any thing for me; and 1 'sish to state that his method of prescription glasses have been grand success in my case. My vision is marvelously improved; I feel doubly grateful from the fact that pre- vious efforts had been fruitless until l tried this expert. R. W. COBB.

HOUSE OF DELEGATES ADOPTS REPORTS ON ALLEGED cORRUP- TON CHARGES AGAINST GER. TAIN OF STATES OFFICIALS.

Charleston. W. Va. February 2l.-The ting committee which probed into alleged corruption charges of the Standard Oil company was adopted by the house of delegates today. Two reports were made, one by the majority members and the other by the minority members. An ef- fort to substitute the latter for the ma jority report was defeated The charges referred to were contained in letter of United States Marshal C. D. Elliott to John Worthington, a Standard oil em- ploye The majority members found that the letter was written by Elliott and that the charges contained therein were un- true and the legislators were vindicated and exonerated
 The minority report states that the conspiracy alleged was uninvestigated. and the majority of the committee re- jected the testimony tending to prove a political conspiracy. The minority re- port concludes:
 We further find that the speaker of house of delegates was directly interest ed in the result of the Legislation which was the principal subject of the inquiry, and being so interested he resisted the passage of the bill; that the secretary or state participated in this resistance to the extent of procuring their recorn- initials; that it was represented to the said secretary of state by the speaker and others that if they were recommit- ted they would be defeated The conduct or the speaker in this behalf is shown To nave been most indiscrete as is also that or the secretary of state"

scarcely pull me and the msil, 80 I
will have to write between boxes.
I receive cakes, peaches, apples,
plums, grapes, melons and a nice

Uncle Sans boys in this section as
it seems that the carrier of the Cas-

fruits and the melons, the cakes and
the ice cream.
The crops are looking pretty good
