Dr. Iv. Hay lies Baxter, by war ot

to say:
4 'The largest mortality in the next
three months will fall upon our babies

ot .1 uly, August, and September of lust

Connecticut, from diarrlnoa, most ot

other ways the victims of mi propel

to do so, is often guilty of the horrible
crime of infanticide. The natural

LAST HAY CROP
likely to he I.a*t Day Cnip « f Any I'on-
MiiUfiice in tli<> Indian Territory
"It will soon be having time in the !
Indian Territory," said J. A. Simms, of ;
Vinita, in an interview in the Kausas
City Journal, "And it is likely to be |
the la-t hay crop of any considerable
dimensions that will be harvested in
the land of the five tribes. A few years
afro it was a common thing to see tho '
prairies of the ('reek and Cherokee? na-
tions covered with mowing machines
and rakes and baling machines about
this season ot the year. But the land,
has been fenced; much of it in allotted
and the laws are enforced to such an
extmt that the hay crop of the territory
has been gradually falling off until it ;
will not be long before the prairie hay j
of the southwest will have ceased to
apjiear on the inrrket.
"The Indians used to receive a con-
siderable revenue from the royalty on
hay shipped out of the territory. That
was when much of the prairie land was
not in their possession. Now the land |
is all m possession, and the revenue
goes to the Indian whose fence is around
the land—generally in the form of rent- j
nls for pasture rather than for tho hay
There is little hay land left. The de-
maud at home will almost equal the
supply this year.
"But the gne-serop is better this year |
than it was last. The season has been
i good one, and the growth is heavier
than for several years. Pasture lias
been excellent in the territory and cat
tie will soon be going to the market —
fat from the grazing—earlier than for
several years."
DROWNED AT WALTERS
Two Voting ltrotlirr* I nub I e To Swim
Akaiii• I Current (•« liuwii Toj;?tltlr.
Wai.tkr: Grant and Y« rnon Williams,
aged nine and seven years, respective-
ly. were drowned in Cache creek. The
« Ider was drowned in an effort to save
his younger brother, who had got be-
yond his depth and was unable to swim
out, and the older brother was not
strong enough to withstand the strug-
gles and both went down together.
Four other boys of about the same ages
who accompanied the Williams boys
were piTsent, but unable to assist in the
rescue. The affair was quickly reported
and in a short time the creek was being
dragged and both bodies recovered.
Both parents are broken with grief.
The father who is a blacksmith, has
had two convulsions, ami the mother
is in a precarious condition. The entire
community is saddened by the occur-
rence.

Kt'gurdinjr Voting In The Territory
?.li sKOui i-: In several of the r.ew
towns of the territory, where the first
•ity elections are about to be held, the
point has been rai>ed ::s to whether a
man may vote whose family lias not re 1
sided in the town for the next preceding
•ix months. District Attorney Mellette,
who was p-ked for an opinion on the!
• nbjeet, decided that he can. In his
opinion he says:
If a man moves to your town with the
mention of making it his homo he be
oines a r< sident from the day he lands
there, and if his family stays behind;
me month or twelve months it makes
uo diff erence as to his citizenship an I
res lence. The fjnestiou depends upon !
'.lis intentions. NYhem ver ho abandons '
•lis homo in another place and locate-
n your town, from that day lie beconn *
i < itizeu thereof and would not 1 >* re
fcarded as a eiti/.ea of the pla«* • from
which he came. There is no question
*s to this being the law.

miles east of here, were brought before
the IT. S. commissioner and given a
preliminary hearing upon the charge of
arson. The crime was committed Feb.
24. 1902. when a grocery store and the
postoliiee were burned. Ia>u King
testified that A. Foyil, a citizen of the
place had promised her a home for Jife
and $500 in cash for committing the act.

respectable man, was placed under

JUDGE RAYMOND S ORDER
the following letter to Attorney Gener-
al Knox:
"As yon know, charges in connection
with the postoffice department are now
being investigated by the fourth assist-
ant postmaster genera;, Bristow, who
has had placed at his disposal by tiie
postmaster general every resource of
the department, including the services
of Mr. Robb, whom you detailed from
tlie department of justice to the post-
oliiee department immediately after the
removal of Mr. Tyner. As a result of
this investigation a numb r of indict
ments have already been held and it is
probable that other indictments will
hereafter be asked for. There can be
no greater offense against the govern-
ment than a breacli of trust on the part
of a public official or the dishonest
management of his ofiice and of course
every effort must be executed to bring
such offenders to punishment by the
utmost rigor of the law. The district
attorney of the District of Columbia
lias faithfully and zealously seconded
the efforts of the postoffice department
in this matter, but the amount of work |
in the office in such as to make it diffi-
cult without neglecting oilier import-
ant public duties to devote the time
necessary to tho prosecution of these
cases. 1 suggest therefore, that if you
cannot detail some of your present
staff you appoint special assistants in
the postoliiee cases in which indict-
ments have been found or hereafter
may be found, but to examine into all
charges that have been made against
•Jie officials in the postal service, with a
view fo the removal and prosecution of
all guilty men in the service ami the
prosecution of the guilty men whether
n the service or not. where the cases
we not barred by lhe statute of limi-
latrons. Sincerely yours,
"Thkodore Roosevelt."
In carrying out the president's sug-
gestion ICnox has appointed Charlt s J.
Bonaparte special attorney to assist in
the prosec utions, and Holmes Couard,
former solicitor general, will be tender-
ed n like appointment.
MORE PUBLIC INVESTIGATION
or substitute for this can ever be made j
without risk of disturbance ofjeligestion
and intestinal irritation. While this
statem lit is always true, it is most cm
pliatically so during hot weather.
11A nursing baby (tho mother bein^
healthy ) is immune to summer diarrhoea i
if no other food is given it than that i
provided by nature. The health of the j
mother is important. She must be well
nourished, not overworked, temperate,
of regular habits, not exposed to exces- j
sive worry or to strong excitement.

mouths any deviation whatever iron 1
rigid lestrictions to tho breast milk wib
bo attended with danger to the yoim^ j
infant.
"Unfortunately all motliern are not j
healthy and .often cannot nurse then ;
babies. In such cases the best substi
tnte is good cow's milk. But it is again ,
unfortunate that good milk is so often i
difficult to get. As it is gold to con- ;
Burners in our towns and cities it i.-

Any exposure to air ensures absorp-
tion of germs which rapidly multiply,
so the longer since the milking the worse
tie quality of the milk.
••Pasteurized milk is to be preferred
because that process kills the disease
germs. Apparatus for pasteurizing mill
can be obtained from any druggist wit!
printed instructions for using it. A \
separate bottle of milk should be pro
vided for each feeding and not openec
until it is ready to be used. A fresh
bottle for each feeding. Nivergivethe 1
baby the remnant from a previous hot
tie. Give the most scrupu'ous atten
tion to cleaning the bottles The "sum
mer complaint" can bo produced in anj
infant by using dirty bottles and ba
milk. The most dangerous appendage
to the bottle i« the rubber tube. Ii
should never be used. It is impossible
to keep it clean.
"On tlie first appearance of diarchies
in an infant, stop absolutely feeding
milk and send for yor physician.

Washington: The pace set in the
postoffice department in the matter of
uu official house cleaning has had its ef-
fect on every department of the govern-
ment, and now the famous seed distri

part men t are to be inquired into. It
has been suspected for years that some-
thing was wrong with the si e Is supplied

The late Secretary Morton tried to
abolish the scheme altogether, but was
glad enough to get under cover when ho
heard from congress.

of agriculture, encouraging him in hit
light on the dairy supply companies.
One company it se ins, advertises the
sale of a method whereby from n giver,

BUILDING FOR UNIVERSITY RAILROAD ASSESSOR'S WORK

Norman: Plans are being made for
Hie erection of tho new science hall
building which was contracted for by
the board of regents at their meeting
several weeks ago. It will be completed
ui soon as possible, because of tiie press-
lug need of all of the) available room as
soon as the school year opens.
In relation to its erection is tlie plan
to build up a university museum, which
will occupy a part ol that structure.
Much of this work was destroyed at tho
fire several months ago. The prepara-
torsare giving all their time to this sub-
ject and the foundation is placed for an
excellent exhibit of this kind. Hundreds
of bird skins, bird eggs, a number of
makes, antelopes, deer, coyotes, badger,
taccoon, opossum and other representa-
tions of the other animal life of Okla-
homa have been brought together for
this museum.
Another line of work that is exciting
much interest is that of model work. A
model maker has been employed by the
authorities and he is making casts
covering geology, biology anatomy,
physiology, oil and water colors.
Rapid additions are being made to the
library, since the fire of early in the
year when so much was lost. Most of
tho late additions art4of books necessary
In the students' class work and the col-
lection now represents about 1.750
books Ow ing to the small number of
applications received, it was decided
to give up the plan of a summer school.
