EDUCATION IS
THE THINjfi
And House Members Cry
For Appropriations for-
Temples of Learning
The demoralization of the mound
builders was rendered practically
complete this morning when the com
mittee of the whole house favorably
recommended for passage Wilkins
bill to establish a university prepara-
tory school at Tonkawa, Kay county.
This Is the third bill passed authoriz-
ing the construction of additional
buildings for the educational institu-
tions, the aggregate appropriations for
which are about $179,000. There are
still on the calendar authorizing ad-
ditional buildings for the colored Uni-
versity at langston and for the Nor-
mal school at Edmond; also a bill to
pay the Alva Normal school indebted-
ness of $100,000 making a grand total
of about $350,000 which the territory
is* called upon to appropriate for
school buildings and the public build-
ing bill has been utilized as a means
of passing the bills.
The Wilklns' bill provides for the
erection of a building to cost not less
than ten thousand dollars nor more
than fifteen thousand dollars to be
known as the university preparatory
school the purpose of which, as the
name implies, is to prepare students of
Oklahoma for a university course of
study.
The house in committee of the
whole favorably recommended for
passage Millard's bill creating a board
of agriculture which is to consist of
six members elected by farmers coun-
ty institutes, and the governor, ex-
officlo. The duty of the board is to
collect and publish agricultural statis-
tics of the territory and to assist in
the preparation of programmes for
institute meetings. >
House Bill No. 74, which was favor j
ably recommended for passage this
morning provides for the taxation of i
insurance, guaranty and accident com-
panies not organized under the laws ;
of the territory. It requires every I
insurance company or association to j
pay a territorial tax of three per cent, j
upon the amount of premiums re-
ceived.

place. They have a subscription list
showing the sum of $25,000 subscribed
as a donation toward the cost of the
penitentiary building and a further
gift of 160 acresvof land adjoining the
city as a site. To show that they
mean business and as an evidence of
good faith the committee has brought
along a certified check for $5,000
which they propose to put up as a for-
feit to the territory that Perry will
fulfill every part of the contract if
the Olipliant bill passes and Perry se-
cures the location. This proposition
will be laid before the lower house
by Mr. Oliphant this evening and it is
expected to have an important bear-
ing upon the action of that body on
the public building question. This
makes it El Reno's next move.

tions against Botha by Goneral

tion, a hundred and fifty rifles, twelve
hundred transport animals, 15,000
sheep and cattle, 300 wagons. Three
^ hundred Boers were put out of action
by surrender or death wounds. Kitch-
jener cocludes: "We had no casual-
! ties."

REMAINS OF MAJOR CROZIER
AT THE TEMPLE.
ALONG THE LINE
Episcopal Services to Be Held at 7:30
This Evening.
The remains of the late Major Fitz-
roy Crozler were brought from Cush-
ing today and were received by local
J Masons. This evening at 7:30 Rector

OPENING OF RESERVATION.
President Must Issue Proclamation
Twenty Days in Advance.
A discovery has been made at the
interior department with relation to
the laws providing for the opening up j
of the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache \
and Wichita countries. The laws pro- j
viding for the opening of the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache country leaves
its discretionary with the president as j
to whether he shall give the prospec-j
tive settlers any notice whatever, the
proclamation taking effect as soon as
the president signs the document. It
is not improbable that this course may
be resorted to in order to prevent the
great rush among the settlers now on
the borders of the reservation for
homesteads and the endless contests
and legal disputes which the depart-
ment is anxious to avoid.
The law providing for the opening
of the Wichita country, however, con-
tains a different provision. Under
that act the president must issue his
proclamation 20 days before the coun-
try can be opened, in order that every
one may have an opportunity to com-
pete for homesteads. •
