that measure ten to eleven inches in
circumference, a tremendous crop of
castor beans, and the largest acreage
and the best crop of cotton ever seen
in that country. Everybody you see
has money in his pocket. Laud that
cost $5 per acre has yielded $3.r> worth
of wheat. Oh, we are the happiest
people on earth.
"We were in a peculiar condition.
We lived down there on the frontier
and no one would loan us money, so
you see we were not in debt. When
hard times aud poor crops came we
just had to make the best of it. If
there was no wheat we lived on corn,
if corn was short we had to live on
faith. It wasn't so pleasant as might
be suppose, but you see it left us in
tine shape to pink up all the prosperity
that came our way.
This year, when our time came, we
had peaches to sell and found a good
market. All the world bid for our
wheat, and we got prices that made
men smile for joy. We have enormous
quantities of about all the coraraodi
ties on which the worid is short. We
had no debts to pay and so every farm
er has a roll to lay by. They are buy-
ing machinery, vehicles and tools
they are building better houses and
barns; they are getting some of the
pleasures of life. There's no gloom in
Oklahoma. Even the populist has for
gotten his wail, the teeth of the Great
Red Iiragon have been pulled, aud
dollar wheat with a dollar good all
over the world makes our farmers
smile."
Mr. Ferguson is being strongly back-
ed by the republicans of Oklahoma for

will probably be a winner. He form-
erly lived at Wellington, and has al-
ways been an active republican.

THE PRICE OF SILVER.
Bx-Gov. Grant, of Colorado, ThlitUa
BO Cents Should lie lied Hoclc Price.
In n letter for the public, ex-Gov. J.
fl. Grant, of the Omaha-Grnnt smelter,
gays regarding the continued fall in the
price of silver:
"In my opinion the world can produce
not to exceed 150,000,000 ounces per
annum at 50 cents per ounce. The an-
nual absorption is greater than 150,000,-
000 ounces, so that 50 cents should be
st bed rock price.
"In the immediate future it may go
below 50 cents, because smelters and
others are offering to sell millions of
Dunces at the best prices to be obtained,
J0, 00 and 90 days hence. This is done
with a view to getting rid of present
stocks with as little loss as possible.
1 put 50 cents as bed rock because I
believe the world will continue to ab-
sorb nn increasing amount of silverfroin
year to year, and I do not believe it is
possible to maintain the present output
ut 50 cents.
The Ontario and Dailey mines, of
Utah, produced last year 1,700,000
ounces of silver, and made a profit of
$220,000, with silver at 67 cents. A
fall of 17 cents an ounce means a loss
of $289,000, as compared with last
year's operations. The Broken Hill
mine of Australia produced last year
B,500,000 ounces of silver, and made a
profit of $1,500,000. With silver at 50
jents they would have made only $400,-
)00. The ore in this.mine is gradually
getting lower in grade, and 50 cents
Tor silver will soon close It up. I could
mention other mines, but it is not neces-
sary to do so."

Robert Fitzsimmons writing n song!
He is composing the words and the
music, and hopes to have both complete
for his impatient publisher within the
next few days. His publisher jealously
refuses to allow him to divulge the
theme or the motif of his melody until
it is published and protected by copy-
right.
Fitzsimmons told all about it one day
Inst week at his summer villa. Rye
Beach, N. Y. He enme out on the piazza
to greet the reporter, and it was noted
that he was cultivating the abstracted
look so inseparable from artistic talent
Hid also that there was ink on his
fingers. It seemed that his proposed
simultaneous entree to the drama and
nusical literature had made him a trifle
Diore haughty in manner than formerly,
lie said he might w rite an opera, a novel
ind a play in the future If his song was
i winner.
"I won't fight any more," he said,
'ami I might as well write as do any-
thing else. Yes, I am composing a
long, but I wished to keep the matter
juiet for the present. 1 shall have it
published in the near future. Were 1
;o allow j'ou to write on its plot and
publish tiie music the idea might be

trial of the assassin began in Novem
ber, 1881, and ended with a verdict of
guilty on January 25, 1882. Guiteau was
hanged on June*30, 1882. At this time
the deathbed insurance craze was at
high water mark, many of the com-
panies taking all kinds of risks. One
evening in February, 1882, two young
Reading attorneys were talking of
Guiteau, for whom an application for u
new trial bad just been made. One of
the attorneys suggested that they at-
tempt to insure Guiteau's life* as a
means of bringing ridicule on the
"graveyard companies." They talked
of It to a resident of Reading who at
that time held a political office in Wash-
ington. He entered into the joke and
thought he could arrange the Washing-
ton end of the affair. Going back to
Washington the Berks county politician
told a newspaper mnn there of the busi-
ness of the insurance companies in
Rending and also of the scheme of in-
suring Guiteau. Meanwhile the attor-
neys made written application for $100,-
000 insurance on Guitcau's life. The ap-
plication nearly got the jokers into
(trouble. Among the many life insur-
ance companies in Reading ut the time
was one that did not properly come un-
der the designation of deathbed com-
•pany. By accident a blank of this par-
ticular company was filled out in due
form and forwarded to the Washington
newspaper man. His part was to take
it to Guiteau and try to secure his sig-
nature.
The reporter visited Guiteau and told
him that a finu of insurance ogents in
Reading, thinking that he might secure
a new trial and eventually escape the
gallows, considered him a good risk,
and wanted to insure him for $100,000.
The reporter gave Guiteau to under-
stand that neither he nor his friends
would have to pay any of the assess
incnts; that would be attended to in
Reading. Guiteau was also told that
the agents would make it worth his
while to sign the application. Although
no figures were mentioned, he was left
under the impression that his heirs
might expect $25,000 should he be exe
euted. Guiteau listened to the scheme
and then smiled. lie knew the new-
paper man and told him he thought the
entire matter a joke. The reporter
knew it was, butdid not say so. Guiteau
.declined to sign then. The. following
iday the Washington newspaper ap-
peared with a long article, raying that
a graveyard insurance company at
Reading wanted to place $100,000 in-
surance on Guiteau's life. The name
of the company was given. The article
was in the form of an exposure, and
said that large sums of money had been
offered to secure Guiteau's signature,
and that a large sum was to go to the
assassin's heirs. The news was sent
all over the country subsequently.
By this time the Reading originators
of the scheme were beginning to find
lhat they had succeeded beyond their
expectations. The officers of the com-
pany whose nnrne was connected with
the affair went on a still hunt for the
schemers and law suits were threatened.
Then the New York and New Eugland
papers took up the subject. Long arti-
cles appeared, calling attention to th'
deathbed and graveyard insurance com-
panies doing business in eastern Penn-
sylvania, and especially in Reading.
Next the insurance papers of England
took up the matter. They cited the
Pennsylvania deathbeds as samples of
American life insurance. One daily
paper in San Francisco called the at-
tempt to insure Guiteau a disgrace on
humanity. It is said by those con-
versant with their affairs that theGui-
teau episode, as much as anything else,
assisted in wiping out deathbed insur-
ance concerns.—N. Y. Sun.
A Re vol a tionatry Btfle.
Eagles are not so scarce in this state
as is generally believed. It is said
that there are hundreds of the great
birds in the Highlands near West Point,
but though the matter of "hundreds"
may be doubted, the fact remains that
there are many. Among these is one
old fellow that lives on Turk's Head
above Garrison. He dates from revolu-
tionary days, and still bears a scar
made by a British bullet. John Don-
ohoe, whose father and grandfather
passed their lives in Garrison, has fre-
quently seen him. His habit of flying
sideways and the peculiar swoop of his
right wing makes him an easily recog-
nised object. This droop was caused
by the shot of a British soldier who,
while passing up the Hudson on a man-
of-war, was ordered by his captain to
shoot the eagle as it soared quite a dis-
tance aloft. The soldier's marksman-
ship was good, but it cost him his life.
A band of patriots, hidden in the rocks,
saw the deed, and, as the ship lay well
toward the shore, their volley killed the
sharpshooter. The wounded eagle was
cared for by the patriots.—Buffalo Ex-
press.
THE WELL ON THE JORNADA.
the muddy current. Hands of Apaches
swept the plain and lay in ambush for (
travelers by the river bank at either
end of the Jornada trail, and it is little
wonder that the crossing of it should
be dreaded and that it should receive !
the name it bears, the 'Journey of i
Death.*
"Martin was an original character |
with lots of push and sand. After j
crossing the Jornada a number of j
times with wagon trains he made up (
his mind that water could be found !
by digging at a point about miidway
across it, and made his arrangement*
to sink a well there. He began with
the rainy season, and with a force of
diggers aud blasters set to work in
earliest. The Jornada rests on a foun-
dation of hard volcanic rock, and after
digging down a short distance he had
to use powder ull the rest of the time.
It was a slow, expensive and danger-
ous piece of business. The men had
to receive high wages lo risk their
lfrves in such n place, all supplies had
to be brought 50 miles from Mesilla,
and every spoonful of water used was
hauled in barrels from pools left by the
rains in hollows of the prairie. But Mar-
pt the work going through the
rainy season and after until, one by
one, the pools dried up, nnd it became
very difficult to provide his crew with
water. Still no sign of water could be
found in the well as the men worked
slowly downward through the rock.
"The end came one day when Martin
rode in from Mesilla and looked down
into the hole where the men were drill-
ing In the solid rock.
"'Work till noon, boys,' he called
down to them. 'When you come up
to dinner bring your tools with you.
We pack our wagons and start for
Mesilla this afternoon.'
'"Shall we load up the holes we're
putting in and try one more blast.?'
asked the foreman.
" 'Yes, we'll waste one more round of
powder on the thing,' answered Mar-
tin, and turning his buck, walked away |
to think over by himself what a fool he
had been to invest everything he had J
in an undertaking that all his friends
had to'.d him was bound to fail.
"The men filled and tamped the holes, |
nnd at noon came up out of the well,
the last man staying behind long (
enough to light the fuses. The blast,
went off while they were seating them- j
selves at dinner. The meal eaten, while
some of the men helped to bring in and
harness the mules, and others began tu
pack the wagons, one man sauntered
over to the well hole and looked down
to see what the !ast blast had done.
He yelled as if Indians were in sight,
and the men came running to see what
he had found. The well was half full of
water and the water was still rising.
The last blast had opened the rock
down to the water vein, and Martin's
fortune was made.
"All the great wagons of traffic ard
the stages over the Jornada had to
pay him toll, and his well was a mine
of wealth to him. The charge per
horse or ox for watering wa1- 25 cents,
and with the long wagon trains con-
stantly crossing the desert, the p routs
counted up fast. One cMiss of travelers,
the Apaches, never paid toll to Martin.
They would come to the we!!, usually
by night, water their horses, and iide
away, never molesting the people in
charge. This mutual understanding
continued until these Ind'ans ceased
to go on the war path and kept to their
reservations. Aleman was made a st
tion of the overland stage route, and a
railroad elation near the well now bears
its name. When, in 1880, the Atchison
company built their railroad.across the
Jornada and settlers coming out ol
the desert began to build reservoirs for
rain water and to sink artesian veils,
the glory of Aleman departed, and the
place became the headquarters of a
cattle company.—N. Y. Sun.

ii I ■ to Find
id Plain.
"Do you see that house and windmill
off to the east?" said an old-time New
Mexican to a New York tourist. The
two were occupying the same seat in
the Atchison train rolling southward
over the Jornada del Muerto and had
struck up a friendly acquaintance to-
gether. "That is Martin's well. The
Mexicans called it Aleman, the word
for German in their tongue. Martin
was a German who came to Mexico
in early days when the Jornada had the
worst name of any traveled region in
the territory, and deserved it. The trail
from Santa le to El Paso crossed it,
and the trip over this plain meant a
70-mile stretch without water except
the chance of finding a pool in the time
of the summer tains. At all other sea-
sons the plain was arid. Travelers un-
dertaking to cross itgave it their horses
all the water they wanted at starting, i
drank all they could themselves, filled j
their water bottles, said their prayers
IRELAND'S HEARTY GREETING..
E&nthimlaatle Reception t« the Duke
and Ducheaa of York.
The enthusiastic reception which the
duke and duchess of York have met
with iu Dublin is said to have greatly
disappointed the Irish nationalists.
The visit has been managed with ex-
cellent tact, in marked contrast to the
visit of the prince and princess of Wales
to Ireland, when it was sought to make
party capital out of the event. At Dub-
lin the reception of the duke nnd
duchess was far heartier than at Kings-
town, where the royal party landed, and
more general than anticipated by even
the most enthusiastic loyalists.
The enthusiasm increased as the royal
party proceeded from the railroad sta-
tion through the street and the occu-
pants of the steps of the city hull, over
which the flag of the city of -Dublin de-
fiantly floated in place of the union jack,
were among the loudest in welcoming
the duke and duchess of York to Ire-
land. It is not to be wondered at that
the suggestion is now regarded favor-
ably to create the duke of York prince
of Ireland and to make that title a per-
manent one for the eldest son of the son
of the prince of Wales.

circle in October.
The auspicious event will lake place
in their new home at Princeton, N. J.,
for which place they will leave their

fore the important date marked in
their calendar of nursery events.
During the warm days of the present
summer Mrs. Cleveland has occupied
the greater part of the mornings sit-
ting on the porticoes and out of doors
at Marion sewing dainty garments.
While Mrs. Cleveland was in the
white house there were sent her from
Mexico some dozen or so exquisite little I
frocks of finest drawn work. The ma- i
jority of these, having been carefully
aid away, will be put in use for the
iew Cleveland baby.
Already presents of beautiful baby (
ilothes have begun to pour in on Mrs.
Cleveland from intimate friends and
relatives, rendering her task of sewing
for the newcomer almost superfluous.

The Agricultural College.
The Oklahoma Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Stillwater begins
/ts fall term, September 9; winter term,
January 4, 1898. By law this College is
placed in direct connection with the pub-
lic schools of the territory, receiving
boys or girls well prepared in the com-
mon school branches direct to its Fresh-
man class. It has an excellent prepara-
tory Department for review of these
studies for entrance to the College or for
teaching. It h;.s eleven instructors,
good buildings, a library of nearly 4,000
volumes, well equipped laboratories and
large collections of apparatus. There
arc no tuition nor incidental fees. Board,
ing can be had at low rates.
The College is liberally endowed by
the United Slates. Its work is to teach
English, Mathematics and Science, as
well as Agriculture, all with special
reference to practical use in life. For
this work its facilities are not surpassed
by any College within easy reach of
Oklahoma young men and women. It
aims to help all whom it can reach to get
a thorough and practically useful educa«
tion at the lowest possible cost. Its course
Is so arranged that those who can attend
but one year will be much helped. In
special cases, students of mature years
may be permitted to select special studies.
The work is well suited for those prepar-
ing for teaching In high schools.
