Inventors are alive to this unparalleled
opportunity for making public their
creations, is shown by the fact that
within four weeks after the first notice
was sent out by, the bureau of Inven-
tions of the jamestown Exposition,
applications had been made for more
than FIVE thousand square feet, and
new applications are now coming at the
rate of hundred day
The inventors are not the only ones
who will benefit by this display for the
exhibition cannot fail to be of interest
and material benefit to the public at
large Never before has such an op-
portunity been presented at any expo
sition, and now that the first step has
been made in this direction, such ex-
hibitions of inventions will no doubt
become part of all future expositions.

Another Unlucky I3 Claim

Another piece OF land has reverted to
the territory by reason Of the provision
in the enabling act providing that all
land vacant in section 13 in Oklahoma
at the time of its passage. or that may
hereafter become vacant, reverts to the
university fund OF the territory. The
commissioner of Indian affairs in Wash
ington has held that all lands become
vacant as soon as relinquishment is
filed on the land in the land office, aud
other persons can Se allowed TO enter a
homestead filing.
The first decision Of the commission
er was received about month ago, and
yesterday another case was referred to
the school land department Of the ter
ritory. In the first case the transfer
was sold for s. 400, but the filing OF the
purchaser was turned down by the
departmrnt, and the land placed at the
disposal of the universities of the future
state
The case received yesterday was that
of William w. Scholl, of Woodward
county, who sold so acres in section l3,
township 10 north, in range 19 west
A quarter section was involved in the
transfer, but as the other 50 acres were
across the section line and not in sec
tion l3, the REIMBURSEMENT is not
effected on that So
There have been two transfers filed
in the Guthrie office which the officials
believe will be turned down by the
| commissioner, as the transfers were
made since the passage of the enabling
act, and are therefore subject to the
same ruling. Five similar cases are
now pending before the commissioner
and will be passed upon as soon as
soon as possible.
1t is held that all homesteaders on
section 13 in Oklahoma who have not
secured patents to the land, cannot
transfer their title, as in order to do so
a REIMBURSEMENT must first be made
by the entryman. The department
holds that the moment the relinquish-
ment is filed the land reverts to the
universities under the enabling act,
and no filing can be accepted by the
land department.
There are a large number Of home
steaders in Oklahoma on section 13
twho have not received patents, and
under this ruling they cannot transfer
their lands. The ruling applies only to
section l3 in the territory, and all
entrymen should be warned Of the de-
cision, as they may lose their land, as
the original entryman also loses his
title in the land as soon ashis relin-
duishment is filed.

HOW TT ORIGINATED

Decoration Day originated among
Southern women during the Ciyal war
The custom OF strewing flowers on the
graves Of soldiers gradually spread
throughout the country and in 1868
Gen. John A Logan. as conmander-in-
chief of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, appointed May 30 for that pur-
pose. Since then May 30 in each year
has been observed as Decoration Day
throughout the United States. 1t is
no longer only an occasion to decorate
the graves Of soldiers Of the Civil war,
but extends to those who died in the
later struggle with Spain and to honor
the memo ry of others who have died
in civil life.
There is some doubt as TO who de-
serves tee honor for having first sug-
gested a memorial day. At least a
dozen different women of the south
have claimed it, Mrs Joseph II Nor
gan Of Atlanta seems TO have the clear
est title to it.. In 1865 she issued a
call for meeting, at which arrange
ments were perfected for memorial
services for those who had fallen in
battle In those days of terrible pow
erty there was no money for floweres
or carriages, but the women gathered
wild flowers from the woods and at the
appointed time they walked, bearing
their wreaths in their arms, two miles
TO the cemetery. The South was under
martial law and public speaking was
prohibited, so .instead of orations and
eulogies there was a simple service OF
song and prayer, in which many old
slaves participated. After that tn,
flowers were put upon the graves

The Rum Power in Oklahoma

A Citizens League" has been
formed 10y representatives Of the larger
cities in Oklahoma to defeat prohibi-
ton in the new constitution The
fight is TO be made in the name of
practical temperance, but there is
no doubt but that it will have the sup
port of every element in Oklahoma OPP
posed to temperance regulation of any
kind The age has passed that allows
an open alliance with the rum power in
a movement to prevent the best form
nj regulation for the whisky traffic In
Kansas, for instance, the joint keepers,
the brewers, inc drunkards, the gamb-
lers and every enemy to the prohibi-
tory law, are enthusiastic temperance
advocates when it comes to stating
their objection TO prohibition. They
insist that they are opposed to il be-
cause sit cannot be enforced" /"
The Oklahoma Citizens League
has adopted the same battle cry against
prohibition for the new state. Its
platform declares that prohibitory laws
are "habitually disregarded. But the
"citizens" of Oklahoma have been un-
fortunate in the selection of an argu-
ment of this kind just at time when
Kansas is furnishing ample proof that
prohibition can be enforced
The 'habitual disregard" of the pro-
hibitory law has been wholly with the
officials elected to enforce it, When
the officers have regard for law the law
breakers of whatever degree, from the
''bootlegger" to tha brewer, have the
highest regard for it, as the present
panic among the Kansas rum-vender:
clearly demonstrates
If Oklahoma will take the example
afforded by Kansas and elect officer:
who respect the law and regard theii
official obligations, there need be Nc
fear as to the success of prohibition -
