WHITES GET INDIANS LANDS
Great Activity in Oklahoma Marked
the Transfer of Nine Million
Acres. Much Excitement.

The law removing the government
restrictions on 100000 of Indian
and actual cash is passing from hand
into effect. Every real estate office
in that part of the new state is
crowded with anxious buyers and
sellers of land, money is changing
hands by the hundreds of thousands,
agents are busy corraling the allot-
tees that have been in captivity dur
ing the last few days, leases are be-
ing taken on land that is not bought
and actual cash is passing from hand
to hand, making one of the most ex-
citing times in years in Oklahoma
Every one is striving to get the first
chance at the property
The removal means that 100000
of the 20,00O,00O acres of Indian
land in forty counties of eastern Ok
lahOma, which part was formerly In
dian Territory, become saleable.
The fight of the white man to pro-
cure the Indian lands began the mo-
ment the Indian allotments were
made, and it has been pushed ever
since. For a month agents of real
estate companies have been round
ing up the Indians and negro allot-
tees. One buyer has been entertain
ing a number of Indians and negroes
there for three days, the only condi-
tions imposed being that they do not
leave their rooms or allow any one
to enter.

Old Age.

Old age as it comes in the orderly
process of Nature is a beautiful and
majestic thing. The very shadow of
eclipse which threatens it makes it
the more priced. 1t stands for ex-
perience, knowledge, wisdom and
counsel. That is old age as it should
be. But old age as it so often is
means nothing but a second child
hood of mind and body. What
makes the difference? Very largely
the care of the stomach In youth
and the full strength of manhood it
doesn't seem to matter how we treat
the stomach. We abuse it, Overwork
it, injure it. We don't suffer from
it much. But when age comes the
stomach is worn out. 1t can't pre-
pare and distribute the needed nour-
ishment to the body, and the body,
unnourished, falls into senile decay.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is a wonderful medicine for old
people whose stomachs are ''Weak"
and whose digestions are poor.
Its invigorating effects are felt by
mind as well as body. 1t takes the
sting from old age, and makes old
people strong.

When the democratic national
convention met at Chicago in 1895

uas William Jennings, Bryan, a
ronng man of thirty-six, private
citizen of the city of Lincoln. His
nrior nolitical career comprised two
forms in congress. He had been his
oortv nominee for a United States
s0natorsbip in a republican legisla-
ture.
The national democracy had
broken away from Grover Cleve-
land. whom it had elected president
twice and who was then in office.
The split was on the money question.
Cleveland had called special ses-
sion of congress to repeal the silver
million purchasing act. The mass
of the party stood for the free coin
age of silver, chiefly at the ratio of
16 TO /. The Cleveland wing stood
for the single gold standard. The
mighty chasm widened at the con-
yeDtion. Congressman Richard P.
BLAND of Missouri, Silver Dick, "
the old war horse of the free silver
coinage movement, was the logical
and apparently the inevitable candi-
date for the presidency. His nomi-

From nm Interested Reader.

Dear Miss Doom:
Being a regular reader of THE EVE
MING STAR and in the habit of read
ing 1t through, from the first to the
last page, I CHANGED to see the letter
written to you and signed Poor Girl
and published in your column.
After reading your answer to the let

entered my mind, and sc I pen these
lines with the hope that you will pub
fish same.
Now, in the first place, I think that
Poor Girl should be complimented on
her letter, instead of being r~idiculed, as
I think the letter remarkably well COM
posed, especially as the writer had
such little schooling, which is a pity
rather than a disgrace.
To be able to write we'll is not half as
necessary as to be good and wholesome.
Besides, it is a thing hat is impossible
for a good many people to do, nc mat
ter, in some cases, how much that per-
son may try.
AS to spelling and reading. these will
come easy to poor Girl" If she will
follow your good advice and attend one
of the evening public schools, which will
reopen this fall. AS l AVE attended

obtained from evening schools.
The young lady also asks IL every
body thinks badly of a girl who cannot
spell well.

body with one ounce of good common

misfortune, but rather feels sorry for
