FOLK IS IN EARNEST. .
Governor Will Have Police Present at
Delmar Race Track
ST. LOUIS: About 100 policemen
under command of Captain McNamee
called, upon order of Chief of Police
Kelly, and received instructions from
Governor Folk, forced an entrance
into Delmar race track to see that
there was no violation of the anti-
pool selling law and to arrest any
persons actually seen making bets. No
arrests were made.
With a squad of about thirty offi-
cers Captain McNamee appeared r.t
the race track entrance at the lime
of the iirst race and demanded admit-
tance. This was not granted ami
nue, White Oak, and Henry Arm-
strong, Beedy's Bluff.
The payment about to be made to
the Delawares Is the last they will
ever receive. There are something
over 2,000 members of the tribe and
the payment amounts to J130.000.
The Delawares are the poorest In
dlans In the territory, and perhaps
In the 1'nited States. They lost their
national entity when they sold their
valuable lands in Kansas and Mis-
souri shortly after the civil war for a
mere pittance, at ths dictation of un-
scrupulous leaders, /nd removed to
Indian Territory. Here they look up
their homes under the sovereignty of
the Cherokees. They have Mfeen given
allotments along wt h the other citi-
zens of the ChercTtoe nation, but
time the Delawares were the richest
Indians in the United States.

NEW COTTON ESTIMATE
A Revised Report Which Holmes Did
Not Dictate
WASHINGTON: Assistant Secre-
tary Hays has made the following re-
port to Secretary Wilson on the acre-
age of cotton in the southern states
In 1905 as comp.ti<d with that planted
In 1904:
"The crop estimate board of the de-
partment of agriculture has con-
sidered the report issued by the bu-
reau of statistics on June 2 relative
to the arreage planted in cotton In
the southern stales in 1805 as com-
pared with that planted in 1904 and
has concluded:
"First, that a new estimate should
be made on acreage p'anted and that
the figures in Mr. Hyde's hands
whrn making his estimate should be
used as the basis
Second, that Mr. Hyde, with Mr.
Holmes at his elbow, prompting him,
made his estimate lower than the
facts at his hand from the reports re-
ceived from the seven classes of re-
porters employed by the bureau war-
ranted.
Third, the board finds upon care-
ful consideration of the reports ol
classes of correspondents anil agents
that the acreage planted in cotton
this year, including the entire sea-
son, should have been estimated at
85.1 per cent of that planted last year,
equivalent to a reduction in planted
acreage as compared with last year
of 14.9 per cent (instead of 1.4 per
cent) of 4.371,000 acres—the estimate
of the total acreage planted this year
being 20,999,000 acres.
"The estimated percentage of the
decrease in each of the cotton grow
iug stales is as follows:
"Virginia, 18; North Carolina, 16;
South Carolina, 14; Georgia, 14;
Florida, 12; Alabama, 11; Mlssissip
pi, 1C; Louisiana 17; Texas, 16; Ar
kansas, 19; Tennessee 13; Missouri,
15; Oklahoma, 15; Indian Territory,
11.
I he averages were made for each
state by each of the four members of
the board and the comparatively
small disagreements were harmon-
ized almost wholly by averaging and
the above results are fully agreed tc
by each and every member of the
board."
NORWAY ASKS RECOGNITION
The State Department Has Referred
the Matter to the President
WASHINGTON: The question of
the recognition of Norway as an in-
dependent state is now before Presi-
dent Roosevelt, having been referred
to him by Mr. Adee, the assistant sec-
retary of stale. Oti numerous occas-
ions it has happened that a revolution-
ary party has asked to be recognized
as an independent nation, but Nor-
way has not seceded from Sweden as
a result of a revolution, but merely
hao taken back the sovereignty which
once had been given to the king of
Sweden. Many private Norwegian
citizens have asked the United States
to recognize the new state, and C.
Ilauge, who, until t he secession, was
first secretary of the legation of
Sweden and Norway, lias presented a
more or less formal request to the
state department, which, however
has no official authority. All thesa
requests have been referred to , ,.ne

THE SCHEME FAILED
Land Companies Were Too Conspicu
ous at Colonization Meeting
TULSA: After being In conven-
tion four days, deliberating and voting
on a scheme to dispose of their prop-
erly in the territory, appointing a
committee to visit the president to
get a permit to sell, and a commutes
to go to Mexico to buy cheap Ian is,
2,000 Indians gathered north of here,
stampeded just before adjourning and
cast a final vote to reconsider all ac-
tion taken in the matter, and left for
their various homes. Seven Indian
nations were represented in the gath
ering. Several land companies weie
represented at the convention, and
much sentiment was created in favor
of colonizing in Mexico, hut the Chero-
kees and Osages, who were only half
in favor of the project, moved to re-
consider ail action taken, with the re-
sult that the whole affair fell Hat.
WILL EMBRACE BOTH
Henry V.'. Rule, territorial agt nt for
the Deming Investment company, at
Oklahoma City, has been arrested
upon the charge of being a defaulter
in the sum of $4,700.
Governor Ferguson Will. Include In-
dian Territory in Annual Report
GUTHRIE: Governor Ferguson's
annual report this year will contain a
supplemental appendix dealing with
Indian Territory. Statistical infor-
mation in regard to Indian Territory
has been difficult to secure, but un
effort will be made to get all the in-
formation possible through private
sources. The governor will ask the
railroads to furnish statistics in re-
gard to mines. In addition he will
write a number of letters to postmast-
ers askng for information.
The report will contain statistics in
regard to population, freedmen and In-
dians, estimated valuation of prop-
erty and money, agricultural resources
and development, timber, newspapers,
social conditions, schools and churches
and farm products, manufacturing
plants and wholesale houses, etc.
The Prairie Oil company is iustall
lug a 65-ton pump at Cleveland, which
will be powerful enough to force oil
through .in eight Inch pipe, without
relay, from Cleveland to Bartlesville.
Opportunities for New Settlers
TULSA: The building of the Mid-
land Valley railroad between Arkan-
sas City, Tulsa, Muskogee and Fort
Smith opens up the rich agricultural
lands along the Aransas valley.
Eighteen thousand acres of coal lands
have been located along the line.
Many new towns are being platted,
which perhaps offer better opportuni-
ties to the new settler than any other
locality in the United States' today.
G. H. McConnell, assistant general
passenger agent at Fort Smith, Ar-
kansas. will gladly furnish lnforma
tion to honieseekers or investors.
BIDS ON PASTURE LANDS
Every Acre Available for Agricultural
Purposes Will be Taken
ANADARKO: Colonel Randlet, In-
dian agent at this place, has stated
that bids and Inquiries on leasing the
Indian pasture lands are coming in
at the rate of from fifty to seventy-
five each day. These bids and in-
quiries are coming from almost every
state in the union, except those west
of the Rockies. The heaviest mall
is fro mthe cenltal north, and a large
per cent of the applicants are Ger-
mans. It is now certain that every
available foot of agricultural land will
he taken.
I here are a half million acres to
be leased for a period of five years,
from January 1, 1906.
These lands are situated in what Is
commonly known as the "New Coun-
try," comprising Caddo. Kiowa and
Comanche counties, in southwest
Oklahoma, adjoining the Chickasaw
nation. They are far above the aver-
age agricultural lands in this longi-
tude. Wheat, oats, corn, cotton, al-
falfa, broomcorn and all kinds of for.
age are grown with success.
FEVER IN SOUTH
NEW ORLEANS HAS UP TO PRES
ENT TIME ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY-FOUR CASES
IHIRTV-FOUR DEATHS REPORTED ALREADY
The Various Boards cf Health Using
Every Means to Stop Spread of
Disease—A Detention Hospital tc
be Built
NEW ORLEANS: In response to
the request of the state board of
health, the city board of health com'
oiled the figures of the suspicious and
actual cases of yellow fever and
deaths, and the figures as issued by
the state board now show between
July 13 and July 21 there were about
one hundred cases, suspicious and
positive, and twenty deaths. Since
then there have been lifty-four cases
and twelve deaths, up to the 24tli,
making all told 154 cases and 34
deaths. There are about fifty cases
under treatment. Dr. George B. Young
of the United States marine hospital
service has been assigned to tako
charge of the inspsc.lon of trains to
co-operate with the state and local
authorities, which ±iave instituted
quarantines, and he wiil make his
headquarters at Jackson, Miss.
A circular has been sent to every
physician in the city urging that all
cases of fever, typhoid, malarial, yel-
low and otherwise, be reported
promptly, so that fhe appearance of
new foci may be Immediately estab
lished, screened and watched. The
doctors a-re also asked to surrender
any individual opinions they may
have, and co-operate with the state
and federal authorities in as rigid an
application as possible of the
mosquito theory. Subscriptions are
being taken to a fund of $300,000 for
the maintenance of a detention hospi-
tal. Sanitation in the French mar-
ket quarters, where the disease incu-
bated, continues. That section is now
probably in a mo/e cieanly condition
lhan it lias been at any time since the
civil war. The more rigid regula-
tions which are to be put into effect
to prevent further introduction of the
disease by increasing the period of
detention of ships rrom Central
Americo ports and tne condition
threatens to temporarily drive the
fruit trade to Mobile, Galveston, Pen-
sacola and other ports. The fruit
companies are now considering a
change of entry, fearing that their
fruit will spoil if subjected to the in-
creased detention. No quarantines
are being put on, but a number of
towns refuse to put up the bars. The
piney woods section of St. Tammany
has refused to quarantine, and has
extended a general invitation to New
Orleans people to go theue.
YELLOW FEVER RAGES
Thirteen Cases Reported in New Or
leans with Six Deaths
NEW ORLEANS: Official notices
were sent out by the state board of
health that an autopsy on the body
of an Italian resulted in a verdict that
he died of yellow fever. He con-
tracted the disease in an infected dis-
trict in the Italian quarter near Char-
tres and Phillip streets, and died
after four days' illness. Representa-
tives of the Louisana state board of
health, Alabama state board and the
United States marine hospital service
were present, and all agreed that it
was a well-developed case of fever.
It was further announced that up
to date thirteen suspicious cases and
six deaths has been reported from the
same locality. It is confined to the
densely populated Italian quarters
from the old French market.
Dr. Souchon, president of the state
board, says the disease nas not spread
and is confined to tne same foci of
infection.
He adds that drastic measures are
being taken to stamp out the disease
right where it is and believes that
present methods will sncceied.
Meanwhile the quarantine slapped
on by Alabama, Mississippi and Texas
completely svopped all traffic, and
passengers and baggage for points in
these states. Freights, however, are
not affected, thereby causing no in-
terruption to busityess.
Local people feel aggrieved at Mo-
bile for slapping on the quarantine,
charging that the Italian fever cases
were traced from a steamer at Mobile.
Tom Heed's Collar
Among the prominent men of New
England there was none perhaps who
wore a larger collar than Tom Reed.
One hot day in the summer of 1901
Reed was In Portsmouth, and, having
to wait over for a train, he decided
to make an Impromptu toilet, chang.
ing his collar, etc. So he hied him-
self to the nearest haberdasher's and
began a general survey of the collars
displayed In the store. "Waited on,
sir?" queried one of the clerks. "Not
yet," responded Reed, and then add-
ed: "I would like a collar." "What
size?" piped the clerk. "Size 20," ans-
wered Reed. "We don't keep collars
so large, but I think you may be ac-
commodated at the store just around
the corner." Reed found the store
around the corner to be a harnes#
shop.
DEMAND FACTS
State Fair for Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA CITY: At a meeting
of Oklahoma City business men it
was decided to hold a state fair here
the latter part of September. The
exhibits will be from all parts of the
two territories, and from the whole
a collection of the choicest will be
made up for a special exhibit of two
carloads to be taken to the Portland
exposition, provided space can be s
cured in which to make a display.
About What You Eat.
When it comes to food, demand to
know the facts about what goes into
your stomach.
Not only that it is pure, but that
you are not deceived in the descrip-
tion of its contents and condition.
Some flaked breakfast foods that have
thus far failed are now being adver-
tised in close imitation of the Grape-
Nuts advertising, thinking in that way
to finally make a success of the fail-
ure.
But false statements of the merit*
of human food will never on earth
build up a business. These flaked
foods are not pre-digested. They are
not fully cooked and the starch in
them is starch still, and has not been
turned to sugar as claimed.
Chemical analysis tells the truth
and the analysis of the famous chem-
ists of the world show Grape-Nuts the
only prepared breakfast food in
which the starch part of the wheat
and barley has been transformed into
sugar and therefore ready for immedi-
ate digestion. Why is this true? All
the thin rolled fluke foods are made
by soaking the grains of wheat or
oats in water, theu roiling, drying and
packing. These operations do not
cook or pre-digest the starch.
Contrasted with this pretense, ob-
serve the care, method and skill in
making Grape-Nuts.
The barley is soaked about one
hundred hours, then it is slowly
warmed for some days and sprouted,
the diastase being developed and part
of the starch turned to sugar (and
later on all of it), tlien the grains are
baked and the sprouts stripped off.
Then comes grinding, sifting and mix-
ing with the creamy colored flour
made from white and maccaroni
wheat. This mixture must be skill-
fully made in right proportions. This
blended flour contains just the ingred-
ients demanded by nature to rebuild
the soft gray substance in the nerve
centers and brain, but how to make
the food easy to digest, that was the
question.
It certainly would not do to mix in
drugs, for there is a certain failure
sure to come to the person depending
on drugs to digest food. They may do
for a temporary expedient, but pure
food and digestible food is the only
final resort and safe way. So to
change the remaining starch part and
prepare the other elements in this
blended flour it is made up into mas-
sive loaves like bread, the inside be-
ing dark cream color and quite sticky
to the touch. These loaves are sliced
and again go through long cooking at
certain temperatures. Then the rock
hard slices are each one carefully in-
spected and ground ready for packing
and use, having gone through 10 or 12
hours in the different operations.
When finished, each little granule
will show a sparkling substance on its
surface. A magnifying glass will
bring it out clearer and develop little
pieces of pure dextrose sugar, not
put. on "or poured over" (as the head
of a large Sanitarium once stated in
his paper, thus exposing his appalling
Ignorance of food processes), but this
sugar exudes from the interior of each
as the starch is slowly turned to
sugar, in the process of manufacture.
This kind of sugar is exactly like
what is found in the human intestines,
provided the starch of the grains, po-
tatoes, bread, rice, cake, etc., etc., has
been perfectly digested. But many
are weak in that form of digestion,
and yet need the starches, so Grape-
Ntits supplies them pre-digested and
ready to go quickly into the blood.
Visitors are shown freely through
the works and can follow tile steps of
making Grape-Nuts from the grain to
the finished product. The proportions
of different kinds of flour, and the
temperatures are not disclosed and it
seems impossible for others to steal
these secrets of the makers. But
purity, cleanliness and skill are shown
in every corner of the immense pure
food factories. People who care for
results from choicely selected food,
those who want the food to rebuild
the soft gray substance ln brain and
nerves that give the go, the vigor, the
life, will understand why the imita-
tors who try to copy the announce-
ments about Grape-Nuts have failed
ln the past.
There's a reason for Grspe Nuts and
I profound one.
