Mrs. McKinley Still Dangerously ill.
Mrs. McKinley who was so
dangerously ill in Calirornia arrived
home in Washington last Thursday,
ghe seemed to stand the overland
<rip very well and it was thought she
would soon be restored to her
accustomed health; but seen after
Jier arrival home her condition
seemed to show symptoms of grow-
ing worse and in her weakened con-
dition the worst was feared. She is
at present writting still sersously ill
^iid although the doctors have
not abandoned hope they admit
that she is in a very precarious con-
dition with chanches very much
against her recovery.
County Commissioners Maxey
*nd Alkire thought Allan's reasons
against the calling of a special elec-
tion on the County High School
proposition were unworthy of even
(jo much as consideration by demo-
crats; for Allan was a Pop. Say
don't you think they have caught
4 bear by the tail and would be
tvilling to accept help from any
flOU'ce to help them let go so that
they could get into the race for
(Sheriff and county treasurer at next
flection? We think that both of
them might be able to carry the
lexington precinct; but we have
some doubts, for Lexington people
liave no practicular use for a too'
jifter it ceases to be useful.
Wonder what Commissioners
jMaxey and Alkire think now. On
(hem rests the whole responsibility
for the expense of the special elec-
tion will they dig down into their
pocket and pay it and save the tax-
payers this expense? The taxpayers
lost enough in being forced to lose
their time from their fields.

No Haste in the Kiowa Lands, May Take
Thirty Days to Open, Interior De-
partment will Oling to the
Lottery Plan.
El Reno, Okla., June 3.—It may
take 30 days to complete the open-
ing of the Kiowa country. That is,
if the lirst day of the settlement
come on August (j, all the lands will
not be settled up until September <>.
This will be true if the plan which
it is reported here the department of
the interior has decided upon, is
adopted. This plan contemplates
taking away from the opening every
excitement, and making it as quiet
as a Sunday school picnic. Any one
seeking for excitement will have to
visit the town site auctions. The
settlement of the farming lands is to
be absolutely undramatic.
According to information received
here a man to get a claim or try for
claim goes through this procedure.
Everybody is entitled to enter for a
claim who hai not before enjoyed
the privilege. On June 15, it is
thought the president in issuing the
proclamation telling how the land
will be opened will say that at several
places about the border are stationed
government agents whose offices will
be opened immediately for the ac-
commodation of applicants. 1 here
will be an immediate rush for these
points. The man lirst on the ground
will make affidavit that he is a law-
ful entryman, will be photographed
and given a certiticate entitling him
to draw lirst 011 August 0 and the
second man will get a like certificate.
And so ou. As was related each man
will be photographed, this precution
being taken to prevent a man taking
a second shot at the gaijie. The
entryman will also tile a filing fee,
$14. During the time intervening
between June and August, the set-
tlers will be busy getting their certi-
ficates for the drawing. On August
6, according to the plan reported
here, the drawing will begin. Slips
numbered up to the number of cer-
tilicates given out will be placed in a
wheel or other device and the first
men to get certificates will draw. It
is expected that there will be about
13,000 quarter sections to be taken.
Say 30,000 men want to make a try.
Numbers from 1 to 30,000 will be
tumbled together and the lirst man
will draw. If he gets a number less
than 13,000 or whatever the total
number of available quarter section is
he is given the privilege of lighting
out immediately in search for his
quarter section. What behooves
him is to get there first. The next
man may draw for instances the
number 1915, or any number above
13,000. He is out of it and can walk
over and reclaim liis $14 filing fee.
He absolutely loses nothing which
robs the drawing of its gambling ap-
pearance. The third man may draw
within the 13,000 limit and he will
jump on his horse and get off into the
new country to get his claim. It will
hardly be possible to accommodate
more than 1,000 men a day, and for
this reason the drawing will con-
tinue, it is thought, about a month.
Owing to the fact that the later a
man draws the less show he has in
percentage of drawing a lucky num-
ber, the man who gets the first certi-
ficate has the best show. This may
not be the government plan, but by
those who ought to know it is said to
be very near it.
Under it the man at a distance has
no part in the settlement of the
country unless he comes to the scene
of action and comes early. It is
thought that the giving out of certi- J
licates and the photographing will
begin immediately after the procla-1
mation of the president is issued In
fact, the men who will superintend
this work may be on the ground about
the border the day of the proclama-
tion.
It will not be possible for any man
who draws a number permitting him
to select and locate on a claim, to
negotiate his right. He will forfeit
all such privileges when he gets his
certificate. Some provision is also
made in the government plan, it is
claimed, for settling those claims
which are forfeited. They will prob-
ably be bunched together at a later
period and a small drawing, previ-
ously announced, will be carried
through.

Mr. W. S. Whedon, Cashier of the
First National Bank of Winterset,
Iowa, in a recent letter gives some ex-
perience with a carpenter in his em-
ploy, tnat will be of value to other
mechanics. He says: '"1 had a carpen-
ter working for me who was obliged to
stop work for several days on account
of being troubled with diarrhoea. I
mentioned to him that I had been
similarly troubled anu that Chamber-
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy had cured me He bought a
bottle of it from the druggist here and
informed me that one dose cured him,
and he is again at his work." For ale

You Can't Afford-
To be without a good stock paper in
the house. The successful cattleman
who doesn't read a stock paper is hard
to find. Most of them read the Live

brightest, most readable and most
trust-worthy stock journal at any
price. To the cattleman who is not
reading the Live Stock Inspector,
we are going to make a special offer—
and not only to the cattleman, but to
the hog man, the horse and mule man,
and the poultryman, for anyone inter-
ested in any kind of live stock, its
breeding or feeding, buying or sell-
ing, can heartily appreciate this
best-of-all stock papers.
Of course, every family in this coun-
ty would enjoy reading the Peoples
Voice, a paper that gives all the lo-
cal and neighborhood news in a fresh
crisp style that cannot fail to please.
We now offer you the Peoples Voice
in club with the Live Stock Inspec-
tor and its 16 page illustrated story
companion for only $1.50 per year.
We wish to call the special atten-
tion of the ladies to the Livj; Stock
Inspector Story Companion. It has
10 pages filled with highly interest-
ing short and serial stories and each
issue also contains a late musical sel-
ection. You get as much good read-
ing matter as you would in subscrib-
ing for a 50 cent magazine—and this
supplement goes absolutely free to
everyone who subscribes under this
special offer. Come in at once and
subscribe as we will make this of-
fer for a short time only. Sample
