partment took special pain* to pre-
serve this particular quarter section
as the great prize in their respectable

Tied the fundamental and prevailing
idea to its natural conclusion. It was
truly pathetic to see ex-governors and
congressmen registering for a home.
It is very sad to see great politicians
left without a home in their old age.
It is quite possible however, that Wood
has overreached himself. The law re
quires that homesteads «hali be taken
in a square form as near as practicable
but this provision has always been
very liberally construed There may
be such contests on the book*, but 1
now remember none, which have been
based upon the ground that the se-
lection was not made in a square form.

purposes he is subject to contest, but

Then he mounted his bor#e and rode

found by a newspaper correspondent,
sorrowful and sullen. Asked as what
further step# he intended to take to
stop the settlement of his former dom-
ain,he shook his head thoughtfully.
"Boon'heap big town like Washton ; too
much paleface; no use try.’.
When asked if proceedings against
the government would be dropfied, he
answered wilb a gutteral "Ugh!" and
then in proper English inquired,
"What paper do you represent?”
Since the townsite sale opened Au-
gust <5, Missouri has invested $6,583-50
in forty lots, of which Kansas City
bought six lots for $3,210. Kansas lias
purchased forty-two lots for Jd.329.
It is estimated that the entire tow n-
site will bring $200,000.
Immediate step* will be taken by
the sheriff to enforce sauitary measur-
es in the tented city, where conditions
purpose. But to prove such allega-
tion* in a contest proceeding is a dif-
ferent matter. If the selection of land
adjoining Lawton was proof of specula-
tive purposes upon the part of W ood
then every person who took a claim
adjoining any town in the new coun-
try could be successfully contested.
Why did Miss Beal locate so near Law-
ton? Why did she wish her selection
to join Law ton, and why does she com-
plain of Wood, if she only had a home
in mind? Were there not plenty of
other homes in that whole country.’
But Miss Beal did just w hat any other
person with horse sense would have
done. She was, in a sense, looking out
for “No. 1” as well as Wood. Let us
lie honest in this silly controversy.and
give the devil his due.

Editor H. L Crittendon of the Man-
gum £»un-Xonitor. in #p»*king of the
action of Governor Jenkin#. *ay#;
"Governor Jenkin# did iu*t the correct
thing whan appointed a new commit-
tee to locate the Southwest Normal and
he will be #u*tairied by the people. In
the first place he is the governor of the
territory and. as this important edu-
cational institution is to be locoted
and built during his administration,
he would be snd will be responsible for
sny mistakes that might be made.
The law provides for the school satd it
should be located in Southwestern Ok-
lahoma.
"Governor Jenkins bad reason to be-
lieve that the Barnes committee con-
templating locating the school at
Weatberfoid That would have been
contrary to the intent if not toe let
ter of the law and a mistake for
which the governor would have been
held responsible. He saw fit to
appoint a committee of his own selec-
tion to locate the institutien and he-
did so.
In an editorial of today's issue, the
State Capital says:
* ‘The Barnes committee, we under-
stand, will start out this week to lo
cate the Southwestern Normal. It
would be much bet ter if they stayed at
home. Any act of that committee will
have no more effect than if any citizens
unofficially were to make a location.

There is no good in it imagining it still

revoked they ceased to exist as terri-
torial officials. This is the law as laid
down by the supreme court in the
Cameron-Parker case—aud thi# case,
having been affirmed by the supreme
court of the United States, is now th*
undisputed law of this territory.
• There is no use to get into a spite-
ful mood over this. The Barnes com-
mittee all say they would have sent in
their resignation by next mail had the
governor asked for them; but that
since he did not they will resent the
discourtesy. The governor wrote them
a nice letter, showing a fair spirit, and
stating that removal was not a reflec-
tion. per- mally, on^any member of the
old board, but a desire to appoint the
men who were to locate an institution
for which his administration will nave
to be responsible. And no member of
that old commission should want to
assume something the governor felt
should come entirely within his ad-
ministration. He had a right to this
belier—and the law gave him the au-
thority to exercise it. He has said
whom he wants to locate that Normal;
and he has named the a.en who will
legally locate it.”

Pearl Squire, who is wanted in Perry
on a serious charge—maiming a man

Missing Treasurer of Swift’s New
York Branch is About
$20,000 Short.
The whereabouts of John T. Hayden,
the missing secretary-treasurer of the
New York branch of Swift & Co, re-
mains a mystery. Hayden disappeared
last Tuesday, after he had turned his
books over to John Chaplin, an audi-
tor in the Chicago offices of Swift &
Co., who had gone east to make one of
his periodical inspection of the firm’s
accounts. Mr. Chaplin had gone but
a little w iy in his work when he dis-
dovered that the accounts were short
several thousand dollars. A warrant
has been sworn out for Hayden, and
Woods vs- Stillwater-
The city council at their meeting
last night took steps toward defending
the city in the damage suit of Woods
vs. City of Stillwater. Attorney F. C.
Hunt was employed by the city to as-
sist the City Attorney in the matter,
and Dr. J.B. Muryby’s services as med-
ical examiner have been secured. At-
torney Hunt was employed as at a re-
taining fee of $200 which has been paid
him and when the case comes up for
trial or should the case be knocked out
$300 is to lie paid him. If the case
should lie carried to the supreme court
$200 more is to be paid him. For the
services as medical expert examiner
Dr. Murphy is to receive $250 of which
$150 has been paid him. This suit of
Woods against the city is brought on
the grounds that Woods was injured
by a fall on a defective side walk over
two years ago and as he claims lias
grown worse until it lias permanently
injured his health. Mr. Woods has on
account of his condition brought suit
for $13,000.
A Bip Coal Find.
Considerable excitmenc was aroused
yesterday in the vicinity of Log Cabin
Corner six miles east of this city when
David McCoy was sinking a hole on
Jake Branson’s place, struck a small
vein of coal. After securing a nice
quantity of the material it was tested
in fire and found to burn nicely. Mr.
McCoy .who made the find, owns a tract
of land adjoining the place on which
the coal is located ard thinks he has as
good indications on his place. The
thickness of the vein has not yet been
determined but from indications coal
•s there in big paying quantities.

More or less objection has alway*
been filed against the fall litterof pig*.
Under ordinary conditions and farm
management they are not as desirable
as spring litters. There is a feeling
among farmers that they require more
care than spring litters and that so
large returns are not obtainable for
the food given them. It does require
more care to rear fall pigs than spring
litters, but where a man gives the mat-
ter the study and attention he should,
he will arrange to keep in the business
of rearing pigs all the year round. He
will be prepared to give to the fall lit-
ters that care and attention that will
make them profitable or he will give
bp the business. At one time it was
thought to be beyond possibility to
produce winter egg* or make large
quantities of butter in winter. De-
mand has brought about winter layers
and w inter dairying is made profitable.
Of course those engaged in winter egg
and winter butter production are pre-
pared to give their hens and cows
every attention that the business may
be made profitable.
Good warm houses will lie necessary ;
not single sided sheds where the tem-
perature gets very low in cold w eath-
er. but good, warm baildmgs where
pigs will be warm all the time without
piling up four deep to keep warm.
Keeping pigs warm and comfortable
means growth. If, in consequence of
cold quarters, they have to be kept
warm by the aid of feed and at the
same time kept growing they will re-
quire too much feed to make the busi-
ueas profitable. There are no reasons
why any painstaking farmer cannot
get as good results from the fall litters
as from the spring, if he will only make
extra’efforts along that fine. Tbescwa
are in a very much better condition at
farrowing time than in the spring and
the season of farrowing is far more
favorable for pigs. October is a better
month for small pigs than the month
of March. In the northern latitudes
storms of any consequence rarely come
until the latter part of November and
frequently not until December, so that
pigs get a good start before cold weath-
er sets in. Where fall litters are to be
given a trial, it behooves the farmer to
arrange to give his pigs more care and
attention than spring litters. He will
be required to do bis very best and
measure the gain, if any, over spring
litters. While we do not. advocate ’
that fall litters should take thj place
of spring litters, yet we do believe that
many farmers could arrange to have
fall litters come and that the business
could be made profitable where no
profit now comes.
