“far and feathers, rode on a
rail and characterized as an ignor-
mmoilk,’ is tlie decision rendered
l" till who do not believe the doc-
trine and I he law as laid down by
the Republican machine over the

with a badge of dishonor; wrathy
by the .signs of defeat, and mad

cins are on tho warpath, seeking
whom they mav devour. Hunting

who live on sections It. and 36.
All manner of means are being re
sorted to to “Save the Queen.
But they have reckoned without
their host. Lessees on sections 16
and 36 are sacrificed on the altar.
1'lie.y are the lambs lead to tho
slaughter by Republican inisman
agemenl. They should act, am.
act at once. They should not only
see hut should know that they
have tlie same protection that their
neighbors have on sections 13 am
33. Bight and justice demands
this much. Sections 13 and 33
shall lie sold at public sale as the
legislature may prescribe, hut sec-
lions 16 and 36 shall be dispose!
of only at public sale. Now what
chance have you fellows who live
on sections Hi and 36 to get pay
for your improvements. None
whatever, it is reasonable to pre-
sume that the legislature will pro-
tect the personal improvements
of the lessees on 13 and 33 when
the time comes, but the legislature
is powerless to provide any rules
whatever for 16 and 36 and the
essee on this land must necessarily
bid against his own improvements
and the land besides. Tlie follow-
ing is the language of the Flynn
bill, the material part of which
tho Democrats and especially Bill
Cross is opposing:
“Section 9. That sections 16 ant
30, anil lands taken in lieu thereof,
herein granted for the support of
the common schools, shall he dis
I’osed of only at public sale, pre
feroneo right to purchase being
given to lessee at the time of such
sale, the proceeds to constitute
permanent school fund, tlie inter-
est of which only shall be expended
in the support of such schools.
But saul lands may, under such
regulations as tlie legislature may
prescribe, be leased for periods
not to exceed live years: ami such
lands shall not be subject to home-
stead entry under the land laws of
the United Stales, whether sur-
veyed or unsurveyeil, hut shall lie
reserved for school purposes only.
“Section 10. That said sections
13 ami 33 aforesaid, when sold,
shall be disposed of at public sale,
as the legislature of the state may
prescribe, preference right to pur-
chase being given to lessee at the
time of such sale; but the same
may be leased for periods of not
more than five years, under such
rules anil regulations as the legis-
lature shall prescribe, anil shall

or any other entry under the land
laws of the United States, whether

OSAGE AND PAWNEE
SMOKE DANCE.
An Ancient Friendly and Helig-
ious Bite Si ill Observed bv a
Few Existing Tribes.
Early last week at the well
known Skedee dance grounds the
Pawnee tribe of Indians received
as welcome guests a huge number
of tbe Osasre tribe of Indians in
return for a similar visit made to
the Usages some three years since.
Phis smoke dance is used by
many of the southwestern tribes
of Indians for the purpose of con
tinning the friendly spirit that has
for a number of years obtained
among them. Upon arriving and
visiting for a time, interchanging
views upon topics relating to their
interests as tribes and remnants of
once powerful race of men, by
means of a well known sign lan-
guage, they ure by their hosts
hidden to pitch iheir tents and
make themselves at home.
□ When ceremonies hesrin they ar-
range themselves in a large ring
seated upon the ground, either
outdoors or under large tents, as
the weather will permit, and some
chief of ihe tribe acting as loader
of ceremonies for the hosts, hold-
ing in his hand a large pipestone
pipe having a very long stem,
made from the famous pipe stone,
found on this continent only at a
government Indian reservation in
Pipestone county, in southwestern
Minnesota, passes from one mem-
ber of the visiting tribe to another
tottering him the smoking pipe.
If one of tho visitors accepts the
opportunity to smoke it is consid-
ered us a willingness on his part
to accept presents,—either a pony
or valuable blankets, heads, etc.
This ceremony is continued unti
each visitor has opportunity to
either accept or reject a present.
Then some chief of the resident
tribe makes a sign language speech
and also one in his own longue,
both standing on the ground am
astride a pony which he slowly
and solemnly rides around the
seated ring of visitors. At this
stage of the ceremony a chief
rides the pony to he given away
around the ring of seated abori-
gines looking skyward making
various signs and uttering a series
of incantations, rides up to, dis-
mounts, and turns the pony over
to the guest who has first smoked
tho “gift pipe.” The recipient
acknowledges the gift by use of
the usual sign language. When
all the presents have been made,

usually prepared in iron kettles

It was not Admiral Schley’s
splendid naval victory at Santiago
that challenged the admiration of
the entire nation, (except the
President and the Navy Depart-
ment) for probably any one of a
dozen other officers could have
done a« well. It was his fairness
and modesty in not claiming all
the credit. If Admiral Sampson
in reporting the victory hail
added: “lam sorry to say that tho
commander of the Hect was not
present during the engagement,
but fortunately for the honor of
the flag Commodore Schley was
there, the battle w'ould have
given us two great naval herees.
L nfortunately for Admiral Samp-
son, he did not have the foresight
necessary to secure his everlasting
fame, and save his gray hairs from
going in sorrow to the grave.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
Winter gardening after this
dale without artificial protection
consists in cultivating, caring for
anil consuming whatever the gul-
den may afford.
Fresh fruit is one product that
can’t be adulterated, and that
canned at home need not be adul-
terated, because the fruit from
the orchard is cheaper than any
substitute and chemical preserva-
tions are not necessary.
A small handful of cotton seed
meal placed around each straw-
berry plant, whether newly set or
old plants, is highly recommended
by experienced growers. Unlike
fertilizers of animal origin cotton
seed meal will not injure the plants :
if it comes in direct contact with
the roots.

every bug [and worm they can
find.
IT’S A BUSINESS PROPOSI-
TION.
'The practical paper, which is
the good paper in the small town
as well as the large city, is an un-
pretentious business proposition,
impersonal in the broadest sense,
laboring to lienetit those by whom
it is lienefilted and striving to
strengthen the publisher’s hank
account. In round figures, that is
all. It is run by selfcontrol,
coupled with integrity and energy.
I cannot sum the matter in fewer
words or, 1 believe, put it in colder,
more unsympathetic form.—Ilink-
ley (Minn) Enterprise.
The census report gives Texas
1,494,846 apple trees of hearing
age, and a yield of 590,955 bushels
in the year 1899. This is a little
ess than half a bushel p.er tree.
The same authority gives Arkan-
sas a yield of 1.4 pecks per tree
and Missouri 1.2 pecks per tree.
And yet there are people who do
not believe apples can he success-
fully grown in Texas.
Fall pruning of fruit trees may
he done as soon as the leaves are
mostly fallen. All dead limbs
should be cut away below tho in-
jury and the stump coated with
varnish or molten grafting wax.
Then cut out interfering branches
and shorten in as required. Trees
that overhear should be thinned or
cut hack more than those not so
inclined.
Toads are very useful in a gar-
den, and care should lie taken not
to injure them. I11 the Southwest
the horned frog is also a valuable
and entirely harmless little hug-
eater. In some countries gard-
ners buy toads for their gardens,
and would buy horned frogs if
they knew their value and could
obtain them. A' few stones or
pieces of hoard scattered about
the garden will he used as refuges
under which tlie useful baetra-
cians will hide themselves, and
In planting an orchard “for
family use and a few to sell,” it is
a had policy to select any hut the
very finest varieties suited to the
locality and those ripening from
early to late. There may he a
very early, but unreliable or in-
ferior variety, in which case it will
be better to wait a week or two
longer for something better.
Earliness is very desirable, but
quality is more so. The same dis-
crimination should lie exercised in
regard to the very late varieties.
But every family should put lip
for winter use an abundant supply
of peaches, and for this purpose
there is one variety which for
size, quality and reliability sur-
passes any other known for the
Southwest—the famous Elberta.
There should lie more trees of this
than any other in (lie family or-
chard. There should lie a similai
discretion exercised regarding
other fruits, always bearing in
mind that the very best is none too
good.
\\ hat is said to be the largest
and oldest pear tree in America is
in Michigan, near Lake Erie. It
is supposed to have been planted
by the French when they first set-
tled in that country. Five feet
above the ground this tree meas-
ures 13 feet in circumference, and
is sixty-five feet high. It is said
also to be a prolific hearer, that
rarely fails of a full crop. No
special effort has been made to
prolong the life of the tree, but it
has grown naturally as the forest
trees of similar age.
