When fresh meat is urgently needed,
and when time is too short, the hunter
who is after antelope in an open fat
fish country must risk many long
shots. liz no other kind of hunting is
there so much long-distance shooting.
Throwing the buck into the wagon
we continued our journey across the
prairie, no longer following any road,

the big creek for which we had been
heading. There were many water
holes therein. and timber of considera

thickest under the shelter of the occa-

heavily grassed bottom. near a deep,
narrow pool. with, at one end. that
rarest Of luXuries in the plains coun-
try, a bubbling spring of pure, cold
water With plenty of wood, delicious
water, ample feed for the horses, and
fresh meat we had every comfort and
luxury incident to camp life in good
weather. The bedding was tossed out
on a smooth spot beside the wagon:
the horses were watered and tethered
to picket pins where the feed was
best; water was fetched from the
spring; a deep hole was dug for the
fire, and the grass roundabout care
fully burned off; and in a few mo-
ments the bread was baking in the
Dutch oven. the potatoes were boiling,
antelope steaks were sizzling in the
frying-pan, and the kettle was ready
for the tea After supper, eaten with
the relish known well to every hard
working and successful hunter, we sat
for half an hour or SO round the fire.
and then turned in under the blankets
and listened to the wailing Of the
coyotes until we fell sound asleep.
We determined to stay in this camp
all day, so as to try and kill another
prong-buck, as we would soon be past

Oklahoma Trial InconcIusive.
The fact that the first bank failure
In Oklahoma after the law went into
effect was followed by immediate re-
endorsement Of the depositors, proves
nothing as to the practicability of the
system In the long run. The fact that
the State banks Of Oklahoma have
gained deposits since the system went
into operation, while national banks
within the State have lost, IL true,
proves nothing as to the merits Of the
system. The law itself requires that
all public deposits must. be kept in
banks that belong to the system, and
this provision alone would cause con-
siderable transfer of deposits and in
fuence some banks to join the system.
The real test Of the policy will come
in its influence upon the banking bust
ness in the long run. Will 1t tend to
secure more careful and prudent in
vestment Of the vast sums which the
people of the country keep in banks, or
will it tend to weaken the personal ~
sponsibility for these funds and divert
them into incapable and wasteful
hands. 1t is superficial view which
lays all emphasis upon the immediate
results OF the law and gives no con-
sideration to its violation Of fundR.

BRIDGE is NECESSARY

Built If Rural Service

ROADS IN BAD CONDITION.

One of the developments from the
complaint in reference TO the road in
Webster township, traversed by the
carrier of r. F. D. route No. :, out OF
Richmond. is that the residents Of
the township have filed with the coun-
ty commissioners a petition for a
bridge over Buck Branch. where il
crosses the road between the lands
of Cornelius Bond and Amanda Roosa.
1t is claimed that In order to put this
road into satisfactory condition, the
construction Of this bridge is nece8.
sary. 1t probably would require a
twenty-foot structure. The postal dc
partment served notice on the county
commissioners that Improvement OF
this road is necessary TO retain the
rural route service and the commits
sioners served notice Oh the trustee
Of Webster township. The residents
of the township again put the matter
up 10 the commissioners. There is
said TO be no doubt ont that the

Prophets familiar with inter

Thus far Manuel has been best
known as a yachtsman, yachting
being a sport of which he is eX-
exceedingly fond. He has been a
prominent figure in many of the
regattas held on the Mediter-
ranean, in frequent instances
handling his yacht himself. Last
year he won the Kings cup, of
fered by King Edward of Eng
land, in one of the regattas held
off Marseilles.
One Of the strong points about
the new King, as far as his sud
den elevation to sovereignty Is
concerned, is that he is in eX-
tremely close touch with court
matters and has a good knOWl-
edge of affairs in Lisbon.
He was the favorite son of the
dead ruler, being much closer to
King Carlos than was the Crown
Prince, and being often cOnfided
in by the King.
The next King has had some
thing OF a naval education, in addi-
ton to the usual schooling and
tutoring of a Prince. In his ear

WOODS REGIME IN
PHILIPPINES ENDED
General May Be Made Chief of
The Staff After Going to
Europe on a Visit.
MAY RELIEVE GEN. BELL
TON WOULD RELIEVE PRES
EMIT ANOMALOUS CONDITIONS
IN WAR DEPARTMENT,

Washington, =. c., Feb. 3.-Army
circles are much interested in the fu-
ture of Major General Leonard Wood
who has fixed upon this date for the
expiration of his service i'll command
of the Philippine division. He is not
expected to return to the United States
for some time, however. as he intends
to spend several months in Europe on
leave Of absence for purposes of rest
and recreation before resuminS active
duty.
He will probably not reach this
country until fall and by that time the
military situation may be considerably
changed. 1t is understood that he
can succeed General Frederick D.
Grant in command of the department
of the East if he wants it. On the
other hand, he may be ordered to
Washington to assume the office and
duties of chief of staff as the relief of
General J. Franklin Bell.
II is pointed out by several army
officers that the appointment of Gen
eral Wood as chief of staff would eff
fectually remedy the present anOma-
lOuS condition of affairs at the war de-
partment, due to the fact that Major
General Fred c. Ainsworth, the pres
ent adjutant general of the army, is
senior to the present chief of staff. and
consequently is not called upon to per
form the ordinary routine duties of his
| office. except in special cases. where
he takes his orders direct from the
president, the secretary of war or the
| assistant secretary of war.

by the city council requiring the re-
moval of all wooden poles from Main

and the substitution Of iron or steel
poles for the wooden ones used by the
street car and light companies?
There is difference of opinion on this
subject and despite the fact that SEN
timent at the last meeting Of council
appeared in favor of the amended
measure and that the Commercial club
has since approved it, there are those
who declare the measure will not pass;
in fact this declaration was made by
a member of the city council who

would leave the Bell with a wide-open
franchise and in case 1t should at some
future date absorb the Home plant. the
city would have absolutely no protec-
ton against any advance in rates the
Bell people might see fit to make
There are various members of the
council and others. who believe that as
badly as they would like to see the
poles removed from Main street the
matter of getting maximum rate out
of the Bell, in order to protect future
generations, is Of vastly more import
ance. They favor continuing the
fight. The Bell people. it is evident
have no intention of accepting a max
imum rate. which they say they cannot
consistently do, because of the fact Of
their business countrywide and they
cannot discriminate in favor of Rich
;nond, having established no maximum
rates elsewhere.

Manuel, proclaimed by the
Council of State as the new King
of Portugal, is the second son Of
the assassinated monarch. He is
but little more than IS years old,
having been born in the Royal
Palace at Lisbon. on November
-, 1889.
While not in the direct line of
succession to the throne, as long
as his elder brother, who was al
so assassinated, was alive, never
theless Manuel received an eX-
tremeIy careful and painstaking
education. In study he proved
that he had brains and he is de-
scribed as being distinctly
young man of parts, with prom
Use of developing into an able
monarch.
It is probable that he will have
opportunity to prove his abilities
as ruler If the alliance between
Portugal and England means-as
many observers declare it does
that British power will be ready
to keep the young man on his
throne
England, according TO those IA
miliar with the treaty with Port
ugal made in 1898 is bound, not
merely to protect Portugal from
foreign invasion, but also to safe
guard the throne from any danger
arising from internal revolution.
Not only is England declared
bound to sustain the new King by
this treaty, but it is further point
ed out that il would be against
her policy to leave Portugal to her
own devices should it appear that
a state of anarchy is to result or
that the country Is to be thrown
into chaos by three parties fight
ing for the power.
The reason for England's desire
to maintain the Portuguese
throne on a firm basis lies in the
scattered lands OF Portugal in
many parts of the world. in which
England is anxious to retain her
cOaling stations. It is pointed out
that were a chaotic condition to
arise in Portugal, the country be-
ing left by England to do what
she likes, Germany or another
