Colonel I'm-is a special aftentof the
interior il.-part uu* lit who is now en
paged in the herculean task of un-
earthing the fraud* perpetrated at the
opening of the Cherokee strip. If he
Investigates oue a week, it is estimated
that he will have finished his career
before he is half through, and ho is
still a stout, active ami comparatively
young man.
Colonel Poe was here on one particu-
lar case, that of William Morely, .lr.
Mr. Morey was one of the party of
surveyors who were sent from the in-
terior department to survey and stake
out the townsltes in the Cherokee
strip. To iiiui fell the duty of estab-
lishing the metes and bounds of the
streets, alleys and parks of the town
of l'erry, which was then a raw prai-
rie. Mr. Morey is alleged to have
.lone the wor* well an.I decidedly t
his own advantage. At one time it
was ordained in the interior depart-
ment that two blocks in a certain part
of the city should be reserved by the
government, but later it was decided
tl.at one block would be sufficient.
This change of olans furnished a rare
opportunity to the young gentlemen
from Washington for side speculation.
After tile work was completed, Mr
Morey came t<> Wichita and brought
with htm an accurate plat of the town-
site of Perry.
Ity some means or other he became
very popular soou after his arrival
here, for a number of gentlemen, trav-
eling men in particular, were seen go
iug to his room every day. Some said
that h was selling tips on the town-
site of Perry, secretly, for a specified
sum per tip, but as to this, of course,
the deponent saith not.
At anv rate u suit was tiled in Jus
tice Jones' court of this city about a
mouth after the opening of^the Cher^
U. e strip. W iU' > A. Morey, Jr . was
Hie plaintiff and C. 1 • Jackson, of

involved being IW . The suit was
brought for Mr Morey by I B .Norlli

No information has reached the iuter-

CiUTUBiK, Okla., Aug. 25.—[Special.
A basket picnic was held yesterday
at Col. Stiles' Wenovista fruit ranch
ihe occasion being the meeting of th
Logan County Horticultural society
About 300 people were present. Ihe
meeting was called to order about 1
o'clock by the president of the society
Col Stiles who delivered an addres
of welcome, which was ably responded
to by Mr. Soule.
Dinner was then served, long tables
being spread, at which every one fared
sumptuously, "and of the fragments
several l.ask-ts full were taken up.
Dr. Neal, director of the Oklahoma
experiment station, then delivered a
long and able address, and was fol-
lowed by Major Alyord. president of
the Oklahoma agricultural college,
who held the large audience spell
bound for nearly an hour.
Able addresses were also delivered
upon floriculture, spraying, etc. Alto-
gether this was the most important
and largest attended meeting of the
society, and demonstrates the great
interest the people of the Logan
county are .taking in horticultural
matters.

President A. C. Kisk of the l'an-
American liimetallie League, on behalf
of that organization, lias sent the fol-
lowing notable statement to the special
'ommittee of the Cnlted States senate
investigating the industrial depres-
sion anil the remedy:
One or two more panics will find this
country in the condition of Koine aud
itlier extinct republics when they went
down. There was no necessity for Is-
suing a government bond and every
one issued, whatever the purpose
might have been, results in the rob-
bing of the people to the full extentof

It would seem that congress has al-
ready legislated ill the interest of the
reditor class far beyond the bounds
of safety, and should take warning
lest the people, who are fast becoming
aroused us to the real cause of the dif-
ficulty, tuaj take matters into their
own hands and elect both a congress
and a chief executive who will be their
servants- not their masters. With
that day will come real prosperity
through the introduction into our
statutes of justice to all classes, which
may be partial'v aud briefly summa-
