FIGHT
Washington, Sept. 30-The demo
cratic tariff revision bill left the
house tonight on what the party
leaders hoped would bo its last
journey to the senate. After many
hour's of debate the house adopted
the main conference agreement on
the bill, 254 to 103, almost a strict
party vote and by tliis action gave
its indorsement to everything in the
measure except the cotton future
tux.
At the end of a hitter hut fthor
fight that followed the adoption of
the report, Representative Undei
wood, the democratic lender, sue
ceeded in carrying thiough the
Smith Lever cotton futures
amendment by a vote of 171 to
Democrats and Republicans alike
voted on this without regard to
party and a large portion of the
democratic membership from south
ern states joined in the vigorous de
maud that the whole subject be zar
ried over to another session of con
gress.
The cotton futures tux question
now rests entirely with the senate
The house concurred in the Clarke
amendment, put into the tariff bill
by the senate, but added the Smith
Lever-Underwood plan as another
amendment.

Frank Wright drove Claude Macy
down from Hillings Wednesday
morning In time for them to lake
the south bound Santa I*e for the
state fair. Mr. Macy was heavily
loaded with various packages and
on inquiry informed us that one
package consisted of a number of
sail.pies of wheat produced this sea
son in the Hillings neighborhood
Shere were some six or eight
samples in all and they ranged great
ly in both quality and quantity />f
yield. Some produced .0 bushels
per acre and the rest ranged from
that to i8 bushels rer acre, all
which was of a most excellent quail
ty.
Mr. Wright had one field of sixty
acres that produced 41 bushels on
average and the grade was above
the standard. When it comes
growing good wheat we^doubt
there is a locality any where that
can lav it over that portion of Noble
county coutributary to Billings.

Pawhuska, Okla., Sept. '20-Wilh
the highest bids ever offered In the
history of the oil business iu Aineri
cu the bidding at the Osage Indian
ageucv at Pawhuska today goes
down in the annals as one of the
most Important events that has
ever transpired In the Osage Na
tion. Kids from :i'J bidders aggregat
ing over one nnd one quarter mil
lions of dollars of which 18 bidders
i„B wore successful, paving a bonus of
tux 1 *494,306 Wand the stupendous bids
107 |of 11,500 per acre caused even the
,ld timers to sit up In astonishment.
It had been rumored that the bids
would urn over *1,000 per acre
some of the choice tracts but few
believed it and showed their un
belief by reason of the comparative
ly small bids offered on these tracts
bv many of the producers
As wits expected the Prairie Oil
and Gas Co , and the Gypsy Oil
company were the highest bidders
iu the aggregate and the Gypsy Oil
company and the Mlnuehotna Oil
company as individual bidders set
the record for the day. Some of the
formers bids were *1,540.91 and ti
3o0,4:ipei acre wlolle the Miunehoma
Oil company bid $1,500 on a 40 acre
tract offsetting Its wells in section
31. The Prairie Oil & Gas company
hid *j07 54 per acre for 210 acres and
f.")U2.50 per acre for a total of 400
acres or JU2.000 for the entire tract
John A. Bell, Jr.. White A Sinclair
and others were together on a bid
and offered *1,160 for the same 40
acre tract that Mr. Getty of the
Mlnnehoma Oil company offered
ti,500 for. The checks filed witli
the Indian agent represent he large
amount of 1152, 482.94 which is ten
per cent of the bonus and the first
years rentals. As these rentals
will not run over *1,000 the bonus
as represented fronr all the bidders
would mean that *1,550,000 was of
fered although the bonus of the suc-
cessful bidders amounted to S494i
350.59.
The total number of acres sold
were 10,744 07 acres out of 11,889.53

will ever be witnessed again. Gath

bidders and spectators thronged the
council chamber and as the bids

WedLesday morning, having been
with the 101 Wild West show which
he joined at Springfield, Mo., a few
weeks ago.
He dropped into one of our livery
barney aud hired a horse, presuma
bly to drive some cutlle into the
city, paying 50 cents down ou a *1.50
bill, agreeing to be buck at a cer
tain time. When the time had ex
plred the liveryman became uneasy
aud applied to the sheiiff's office for
help.
The wires were at once put in mo
tion and it was found that the
young man had gone east from here
to the Vicinity of Lucien, where he
had truded for u brown mare. He
went from there near Marshall,
where he sold the mure for the sum
of $5.40 and took the train for Enid.
Sheriff Hoover was right on his
track and found the horse, while
Deputy Sheriff Barnes went by ant
to Enid and located his man in
boarding and rooming house there,
arrested him and lie is now in the
comity jail awaiting the outcome of
this, lie says, the first venture on

til the 7lh to perfect same and ad

"My little children, keep your
selves from idols" (Golden Text).
Judge Llnsey, of Denver says:
"Habits make or unmake men. The
boy who starts with had habits is
almost sure to be a worthless man.
One of the worst babits in boyhood
is the cigarette habit. Persisted in
it dulls and deadens all the finer
moral sentiments; it makes n physi
cal aud moral wreck of any boy. It
' is sure to lead the victim to other
habits just as daugerous and dis
gusting. Years in the juvenile
court of Denver convinces me that
it is one of the chief evils met iu
boyhood, and responsible fur much
weakness, misery and crime."
