ett, when in (iuthrie * few dBy(i a(;o
let r gentle Hint out that Kansas was
wanting out of the earingfor the crim-
inals of Oklahomn. Kansas is tired of
the job and is not making enough out
of it and even with an increase in the
price may not enler into a contract
after the present one has expired She
has no right, so it has been discovered
to care for outside convicts from anj
other state or territory and what will
be done il a matter that is in the air
and should our prisoners be shut out
of the Lansing penitentiary a serious
problem will confront the territorial
officials.
Hefore Oklahoma had made arrange-
ments with Kansas to care for these
people, she tried several other states
turned awaj by the olllcials of New
Mexico. Colorado and Missouri, their
constitutions forbidding the authori
ties to enter into my such contrac t,
but Kktisat came to Oklahoma's rescue
at that time and took charge of the
convicts, 260 in number.
Our territory has no place that she
could use even tetn|>orarily for her con
viets, and the legislature does not meet
until January. 1903. and it may be nee
essary for Governor Jenkins to call a
special session of the present legisla
ture to provide for the location and
construction of a territorial peniten-
tiary. If this should be done, the
whole question of territorial institu-
tion locations would come up and an
eiciting time ensue and among the
other towns which are clamoring for
the erection of an institution of some
kind at her p'ace, would no doubt be
one of the new towns in the Kiowa-
Comanche country.

In Guthrie Yesterday By Train—
Horribly Mangled—Re-
mains are Held.
An unknown man was killed in
Guthrie yesterday by a passenger train.
His body was cut into very small pieces,
the largest part being oneofhis hands,
ilia remains are held for identity, but
owing to the body being so awfully
chopped to small particles ho could
not lie identified even by members of
his own family.
KKM.MNS IDENTIFIED.
Later—At nine-thirty o'clock Inst
"igbt it was positively ascertained that
the remains were those of Simon Ham
ington, aged 17, whose parents reside
within four miles of Ripley. Ilejleft
home about four months ago, having
had some trouble with his father, ami
has lieen working since for farmers in
that vicinity, to all of whom he gave
the name of "l'ete." He has worked
for O. N. Dunlap on Bear creek and for
Hal Pipes on Skeleton creek. The
mangled remains were taken to Guth-
rie and interred. Word was sent to
Ripley from Guthrie telling of the
affair and giving a description of the
boy, in hope that his family might be
found.
tlnldrn Silence.
Mamma—You're very fond of your
'oily, aren't you, dear?
Little Ethel—Ye*. She's nicer than
Wi.vbody else I know.
"Oh, no. She's not nicer thnn your
mamma."

Wthin the next fortnight at least
towns will be added to the
map in the three counties comprising
1,4 Kiowa. Comanche and Apache
country. The government Is interest-
ed in only three towns-Law ton, Ana-
darko ami IL.hart—the three county
seats. I he other towns will be started
hy piifate townsite companies, but
they must get their credentials from
the government. Lawton, of course,
will be largest of the new towns. An-
adarko will come second, with Hobart
third. The towns to be established by
private companies will probably be of
the small country town order. They
will be larjrer the first months of their
existence than they will be five years
later. 1 he >ame will probably be true
of the county seat towns also. Lots
will likely sell at Lawton, even, for
more money on August 8 than at any
time in the next five years. The gov-
ernment officials louk for a tremendous
sale the first two days at big prices.
The new towns, aside from the coun-
ty seat>, will finally settle down to be
only postoffice places, and the chances
are that the only people w ho will make
money handling town lots will be those
who start the towns. However, the
establishment of so many towns will
give the politicians a chance. There
will be a full set of officers to elect for
each town, and a postmaster for each.
A Correction.
The statement we made in jester
day's issue that the present managers
of the mills bad made an offer to sell
f >r 125000 is an error. Their proposij
tion is to sell for $l!0000. The stotk
company now organizing of 2-ri0 shan ■
of the par value of 1100 each provides
for 16000 cash capital for the new com-
pany.

Law and Order League has been
ormed at Fort Sill to suprcss the doz-

country since the Kiowa-Comanche
registration began. Its members have
taken a step that will k..ock these
crooks out and will inflict serious pun-

decided to print 1,000 hand bills with
trie following:
"Notice is hereby served on all con-
idence men, pick-pockets, thieves and
crooks who are caught plying theii
vocations that they will be hanged to
the nearest tree."
So far Fort Sill has been quite free
from crooks, and this league intends
to keep it such, by buffalo.ng them ■

CATTLE QUESTION.
Not So Bad As First Appeared—
Northern Buyers Pick Up
Cattle.
The fact that cattle hare advanced
on the Kansas City market from 50
cents to ti per hundred is caused by
the fact the farmers of Oklahoma have
quit glutting the market and have
gone to digging wells and hunting pas-
ture.
"Alter the drouth had lasted for sev-
eral weeks many fanners throughout
the territory got 'panicky' and hustled
their stock to market, whether in con
dition or not. .Many farmers, who had
spent three years putting $10 in Hesh
on a steer, sent his cattle to a glutted
market and lost more than the 110 in
about three days. Finally they came
to their senses and the market has ad-
vanced accordingly.
"Iowa and Nebraska parties are
busy in Oklahoma and Kansas at pres-
ent picking up all the cattle possible
at a low figure." "Those two states
are 111 the best condition at present of
any in the Union to care for livestocks.
They have plenty of pasture and water
and looking for snaps in the cattle line.
While Oklahoma and Kansas raisers
were 'panicky' the lowa-Nebraska fel-
lows were playing lull hands.
In Kansas City on Wednesday alone
of the past kweek live hundred and
tifty-nine cars of cattle were sent to
Iowa pasture lands-a total of 17.0(X)
bead. 1 hese had come in great part
from Oklahoma and every head of them
had lost money to their owners, be-
cause the latter had become scared
over the drouth conditions.
"There are more wells being dug at
present in Oklahoma than at any other
one time in her history. This shows
that the farmers have learned a thing
or two and are preparing for future
dry spells. For this reason thisdrouth
may have been a good thing, as it has
supplied almotst every farmer with
water facility. The olj Oklahoma fel-
lows nevor get 'panicky.' Tbey have
been through the mill and you can't
scare one of them with a drouth signal.
"The drouth conditions have disturb-
ed some bankers, who on acoount of
a fear of a famine, have been 'leary'
about handling cattle paper. This
only causes the farmer to push his cat-
tle 011 the market and lose money.
Cattle paper is nearly always worth
par in Oklahoma.
