Russia and England are snarl-
ing at each other over disputed
territory in Manchuria, and as
usual England is doing the suc-
cessful bluffing. Poor old

in the matter, and it is now a

gest slice of China territory.
A run on an Arkansas City,
bank, was nipped in the bud in
short order this week. The of-
ficials provided cash enough, to
pay in full every depositor, and
a majority of the depositors,
were like the Dutchman, when
they found that their money
was there they did not want it.
The Jessie Morrison case was

The Bliss Breeze, published
at Bliss, Okla., is one of the
new Oklahoma newspapers, and
judging from its issue for March,
it is all that its name indicates.
It is a breezy paper, and is pub-
lished • monthly, and is de-
voted to the interests of the
farmers of the Ponca, Otoe and
Tonkawa reservations.
Reports from Washington, in-
dicate that Secretary of the In-
terion Hitchcock, is favorable
to the plan for the opening of
the Kiowa, Comanche and Ap-
pache reservations, and strong-
ly opposed to the old plan of
racing for claims. Experts are
said to be at work formulating
a plan for the opening, and that
if possible it will be opened by
a drawing of some sort. Any
plan adopted will of course not
meet with the approval of all
concerned, but many now favor
the lottery plan.

Three buffalo cows, which
were being shipped from Mis-
souri to the Rockefeller ranch
at Belvidere, were in Mulvane
Monday. One of the cows that
had been injured in loading died
while here. The bead and skin
were shipped to St. Louis and
the carcass fed to the hogs at
the mill. The cow was worth
$800.— Mulvane Record.
M. M. Murdock, the veteran
editor of the Wichita Eagle, ia
making a characteristically
game fight for life and death,
and is contending inch by inch
with the king of shadows. He
lias gained a little strength this
week and the physicians and
family are now hopeful that he
will recover. His many friends
all over the country, and.they
are legion, aris hoping for his
speedy restoration to health.
An officer came down from the
federal court yesterday to ar-
rest W. A. Thomas for having
quarantined one of the jurymen.
Geo. Chrisman had been expos-
ed to smallpox and the health
officer had to do his duty, jury
or no jury. The Deputy U. S.
marshal concluded that Aider-
man Thomas had but done bis
duty and returned without him.
For a while it looked as if a
federal officer might be arrested
by the health officer for inter-
fering with the quarantine regu-
lations.—Ponca City Courier.

It strikes us that the Kay
county members of the legisla-
ture were buacoed on the public
building bill. The location of
the reform school at Ponca City
carrying an appropriation of
$20,000, is the least amount
specified for any institution. If
Governor Barnes signs the
public building bill, we are in
for the worst of it, for then
there will always be a fight
against making future appro-
priations for both the reform
school at Ponca City and the
preparatory school at Tonkawa.
If he don’t Sign the public build-
ing bill, and in the future Kay
county asks for a public build-
ing, it will be argued against
us that we already have the
preparatory school and can’t
expect two institutions. We
believe it would have been bet-
ter if we could have united and
made a strong fight for one good
institution. Kay county de-
served better than she is ac-
corded under the present terms
of the bill.

sou will cause universal regret

The dispatches announces the
serious illness of Ex-President
Benjamin Harrison, at his home
in Indianapolis. The doctors
offer no hope for recovery', and
his death seems only a matter
of a few hours at most. Pneu-
monia is the immediate cause of
his illness, and on account of
his age, and the severity of the
type the case is hopeless. Gen-
eral Harrison, is a national
character, and there are few if
any men in this country today,
better informed in all that goes
to make the successful, business
man, politician or professional.
Outside of his political career,
hehasbeen an unusuallysuccess-
ful attorney and has won an in-
ternational reputation as such.
The country will hope for the
best until the worst is kuown.

Kay county farm lands are
rapidly changing hands, and
many of the original home-
steaders are selling out. The
new comers are mostly from
Illinois and Iowa, and are at-
tracted by our wonderful cli-
mate and fertile fields. The
men who are selling are at a
loss to know where to go, or
what to do. They appreciate
the fact that they will not be
able to find land anywhere that
is better, or a climate that will
suit them any better, than does
this, and many of them regret
their action in selling their well
improved farms.
Governor Barnes has signed
the University pre pa r a tor y
school bill and it is now a law.
The bill provides for the erec-
tion of a university preparatory
school at Tonkawa, in this
county, and calls for an appro-
priation of $15,000. We have
not seen a full text of the bill
and hardly know whether to
congratulate Tonkawa on the
measure or not. If the building
is only to cost 115,000, it will
only be of ward school propor-
tions, but if the bill carries
conditions that we don’t know
of, the school may in time be-
come of some value toTonkawa.
of both houses of Congress, and
was one of the best lawyers in
the United States. He lacked
one quality essential to the
successful politician, that of
being able to reach the heart
of the masses, but those who
knew him best admired him
most. He was sociable, with-
out being demonstraiive, and
his lack of sociability was more
from preoccupation than from
intention. He was at all times
the student and no subject was
too complex for his broad mind.
He has not been altogether in
accord with his party in all
things the last two or three
years, but his opinions were
universally respected.
