Actio* of Coaaty Commissioner Re-
tarding Poor farm.
The petition of G. L. Bowman,
and others, having been present-
ed to the Board asking that said
Board purchase a poor farm not
to exceed in value the sum of Five
Thousand dollars.
The Board upon anexamination
of the petition find that it is sign-
ed by more than one fourth of
the resident tax payers of King-
fisher county as shown by the as-
sessment rolls of the county as
returned by the assessors for
the year 1805 and also find that
said petition is regular and ac-
cording to law in all respects. It
is therefore ordered by the Board
of County Commissioners of
Kingfisher County, Oklahoma
Territory,(deeming it to the best
interest of the county) that said
Board purchase a farm to be
known as Kingfisher County
Pdbr Farm and that all proceed-
ings connected therewith shall
be in conformity with the laws of
Oklahoma Territory providing
for the purchasing of a poor farm
to be nted for the care and main-
tainance of the poor and indigent
of the county. It is further order
ed by the Board that the County
Sk advertise in four news-
Mrs of the couuty that the
rd of County Commissioners
will at the regular meeting of the
Board to be held the first Mon-
day in July receive and consider
propositions for the purchase of
a suitable farm to be used as a
poor farm.
The petition for a poor farm
was "found to be signed by one-
fourth of the resident taxpayers,"
and the board finds it all regular
and right, hence they will pro-
ceed to buy a county poor farm.
The petition for a County High
School election asked for by Hen-
nessey contained the names of
nearly one-half of the legal voters
of the county (the law requires
onethird ) yet the commis-
sioners couldn't see their way
clear to make an order for an
election and thus give the people
a chance at saying whether they
want it or not.
Joseph Soodek of Grant Towasfcif
Milt Himself.
Last Thursday morning Joseph
Soudek, a well-to-do Bohemian
farmer who lived in the east part
of Grant to wnship this county,
about 9 miles east of Kingfisher,
committed suicide by taking car-
bolic acid. For several days Mr.
Soudek had been ailing, aud aris-
ing about 5 o'clock he went to
the barn. Returning to the house
in a few minutes he dropped to
the floor and was dead in a few
minutes. It was thought that
his mind was afflicted, by his
physical condition as no other
motive could be ascertained. The
coroner was called.
Mr. Soudek was a well-behav-
ed and successful farmer.
Attorney General P. C. Simons
has put the fixings on the terri-
torial officers who are traveling
around the country on free pass-
es- Mr. Simons says the terri-
tory will not pay mileage to any
man who lias in his possession a
free railroad pass. He must take
an oath that he has paid his rail
road fare before he receives one
cent of mileage. This will work
a great hardship on sheriffs and
others who have been traveling
on railroads with a pass in their
pockets and making the dear peo-
ple pay for the same. —EH Reno

Jap-Russian Base Ball Game.
The base ball game between
the "Russians" and "Japs" to be
played at Hennessey July 4th,
promises to be the most interest-
ing event of the 3eason. Both
sides will go into active training
the early part of next week, and
when the fateful day arrives, all
peace negotiations will be declar-
ed off, and a "fight to a finish",
will be the watch word by the
contestants on each side. "TJncle
Sam" will umpire the game and
although it is claimed by the
"Russians" that he is judicially
disqualified, they have intimated
through Count Cassini their
willingness to abide by his de-
cisions. (The line up will be as
follows:

A fellow by the name of Tree-
top has been put on the lid in
Russia. If he can keep it down
he should be the Czar. A Tree-
dynasty can best the Romanoff
set as they now stand. But, why
don't the Czar give Jack Mc-
Cutcheonoff, of Enid, a chance at
the lid. Jack would sodder the
lid on to stay.

ODD TO THE OKLAHOMA HEN.
Wltl apologia* to the Centralia (Mo.) Courier
Long before Maud raked the
the Oklahoma hen com
iced to lay, and before the
Ikmaid had stirred a peg, the
ahoma hen had laid an egg.
corn must rustle, the flowers
t spring, if they hold their
with the barnyard ring. If
akid is in need of a Sunday
govn, she doesn't hustle the bay
to town; but she goes to the store
anc buys her suit with a basket
fnll of fresh hen fruit. If the
milkmaid's beau makes a Sun
day call, she doesen't feed him
on milk at all, but works up eggs
in custard pie and stuffs him full
on chicken fry. And when the
old man wants a horn, does he
take to the saloon a load of corn?
Oh, no; he simply robs a nest,
takes to town—you know the rest.
He hangs around the courthouse
ring, talks politics and other
things, while his poor wife stays
home and scowls but is saved
from want by those self-same
fowls; for while -her husband
lingers there, she watches the
cackling hen with care, and
gathers the eggs which she'll
hide, till she sayes enough to
stem the tide. Then hail all hail
to the Oklahoma hen, throw up
your hats a id emit a howl for the
busy, persevering, useful fowl.
Cotton or corn may be king, I
ween but the cackling hen is the
Oklahoma queen.
