JUSTICE AT LAST

The Dreyfus case that, about
twelve years, ago, created such q
sensation In France, and never ha,
been satisfactorily adjusted till now
is at last settled, and tardy justice
has been done this much abused
man.
Dreyfus was a prominent and eff
icent officer in the French army.
He is jew. Several of his prom
inent associates, seemingly predju
diced against the race conspired to
disgrace him and get him out Of the
service. Charges of treason were
brought against him and the court.
martial sustained the charges. He
was convicted and deported to a
penal island where he remained some
tine. He was finally brought back
to France aud after years Of patien,
effort he has been thoroughly vindi-
Gated and reinstated in the army
with higher rank than before.
:, The Preach people are liable to
60 wrong, but their action in this
case shows that they are willing to
rectify their errors when they are
convinced, sad make all amends
possible. H

10 ENTERTAIN ON BIG SCALE
Preparations are Being Made fol
Thousands to Attend the Cher
okee Strip Celebration,

The celebration of the thirteenth
anniversary of the opening OF the
Cherokee strip, which is to take
place on the Io1 ranch on Septem,
Der IS and I6, will be on larger
scale than has eyer before been at
temptedi The ranch is an ideal
place for an entertainment of this
kind. The broad prairies, lying
close to the Santa Fe tracks, afford
an abundance of rooW fes the thous-
ands of people who |ll-arend the
entertainment, Miller Brothers,
owners Of the ranch, are experienced
in arranging for large crowds and
this year they will prepare for big
ger crowd than visited the ranch
last year, when they gave the Buffalo
Chase for the entertainment of the
Natianal Editorial Association.
The arena this year will be located
upon the same site as last year, but
| il will be somewhat larger,
The eight wire fence will surround
piece of ground three quarters of a
mile long and half mile wide.
Seats will be constructed around
three sides of this enclosure for the
visitors. This will provide room for
thousands of people where they will
be able to see everything that is
taking place in the arena.
The distance from Buffalo station
on the Santa Fe, where the excur'
sion trains are stopped, is short and
an easy walk to the grounds. This
near side tracks are to be construct
ed at Buffalo station for the easier
and speedier handling Of. trains, in
surfing quick loading of the excur-
sion trains after tn. entertainment.

PLANTS UNDER CHLoRoFoRM.

effect that OF the professors of the UuiveT-
sity OF Copenhagen has been making a number
OF experiments with plants subjected TO the mar
cotiZing influence OF ether and chlOrOfOrm. The
professors plan appears 20 be follows: He
first sends the plants into a condition which is
described as being IN all respects analogous to
lethargc sleep wherein they remain for con-
siderable period, during which time they are laid
aside. When they ultimately revive from this
condition Of sleep they are said TO begin TO bud
and flourish in remarkable profusion. II is fur
ther remarked that the known physiology Of
plants does not explain the phenomenon, but
that those who have seen the results OF the eX-
periments testify to their reality. II VIII sur

thesia" can be applied 70 plants at all. and
