After over three years hard
lighting between the townsite set-
tlers and the presumed homestead
settles, the cases in the three addi-
tion have terminated in favor of
the townsite settlers. North Perry
—the Linn quarter, the most val-
uable of any, has not yet reached
final decision, but there is little
doubt but that when it reaches the
Secretary, it will follow the same
route the other additions have
know you will be in debt to some
attorney for more than it would
cost you for your deed.
There is much valuable pro-
perty in these additions. In fact,
they comprise almost the entire
resident portion of our city, and
those who have erected fine resi-
dences and made valuable and last-
ing improvements, cannot afford
to have their interests placed in
jeopardy by a handful of disgrun-
tled kickers who have other mo-
tives in view rather than the best
interests of all the people. Re-
consider your actions, gentlemen,
and join with the large majority
of your fellow settlers and let the
work proceed. Nothing succeeds
like success, and as the settlers
have succeeded in winning the
land, let them make it a success by
securing their deeds from 1 ncle
Sam.

Now that Dennis Fynn has de
claret! himself as a candidate for
the governorship, it is in order for
the "sawbucks" to get out of the
way or be run over. The ava-
lanche of public opinion is so
strongly in favor of Flynn that
even the school boys are singing
his praise. From every quarter
of the territory the (>eoplc are de-
manding his appointment as gov-
ernor, and so soon as spring gets
into the lap of Gentle Anna, we
expect to hear the frisky little
frogs join in the chorus and sing:
Now Dennis Flynn,
He's in the swlui
For Governor of Oklahoma;
And the people will cry
For a piece of pie,
And a link of the new llologna.
SOMETHING IS WRONG
From the Omaha Worlil-Heralil:
The prevailing distress in the
route lu. - — .largo cities of the east deserves
traveled, that is, be awarded to the careful considera.ion of stu-
Garfield county's representa-
tives voted against the extra clerk
hire bill, says the Coming Events.
Taylor, the Missouri murderer,
has been captured. This time, out
in California as a good shepherd,
with a flock of sheep.
Since Nevade has passed a -law
legalizing glove contests, Cor-
bett and Fitz will have to do less
talking and more fighting.
Alger and Sherman will occupy
places in MeKinley's cabinet. This
will bring to mind Sherman's book
he once wrote, and create a de-
mand for it in political circles.
Nevada has done what Oklaho-
ma tried to do two years ago, that
is, license prize fighting. If you
want to tight, go to Nevada and
take out license, and knock it out.
Pullman, the man who cost the
state of Illinois several thousands
of dollars, gives a paltry $500 to
the poor of Chicago. And the
next move he makes will probably
be to reduce ralaries in order to
make up the donation'
As a walking delegate, Senator
Teller takes the prize He walked
out of the St Louis Convention,
thereby walking into the affections
of the people of Colorado, and
now has the right to walk into the
Senate for six years more. That
is the walk that counts.
A Kansas City paper says that
the airy, fairy milk maid with
pink cheeks, like we used to see
in the picture books is gone, nev-
er to return. Her place has been
filled by a stubble-bearded animal
in overalls, who milks with both
hands, whacks the cow with the
milking stool and yells "soya, d-n
you, Bo-o-o.
Scrutiny of the list of Populist
Congressmen reveals the fact that
they ougl^t to save tho country.
They have a Bell to j'ing on legis-
lative chestnuts; a Castle for a
stronghold; A Bodkin to punch
holes in gold bug arguments; a
Gunn for defense; a Fowler tg
.snare; a Skinner to take the hide
off; and a Baker to do tho roast-
ing. If this is not enough they
can add a little peffer for season-
ing and have the Butler called.
Coming EvunW.
Rev. Bodkin, who represents
the lteno district in the Kansas
legislature, has introduced a bill
wbiclj is without precedent in leg-
islation. The act Is intended to
provide punishment for certain
lapses in morals, by ineml>ers of
the clergy and others who betray
confidence placed in them profes-
sionally. The Ex-Reverend evi-
dently sensed during his own pro
fessional career, what kind of pen
alty would prove most efficacious
in preventing the repetition of the
offences designated. As one man
by trickery, gave to English law
tho term "Burking," so a Kansas
the townsite settlers. But now
three quarter-sections have been
awarded to the townsite settlers,
and they certainly ought to feel
greatful to the department of jus-
tice for sustaining their rights and
homes. But the end has not yet
t)een reached; individual deeds
dents of social economy—after the
distress lias been relieved. That
there is something radically wrong
with our present industrial and
financial systems cannot be denied
by Uiose who study into prevail-
ing conditions. In the western
country we have an abundance of

have not yet been issued to the breudstuffs which cannot bo sold
occupants, and it is not too late to save at a loss. In the east thous-
lose all and the land revert back to
the homestead claimants, as there
seems to be a few persons disposed
to protest against the townsite
board making entry of the town-
sites, for what reason, God only
amis are starving to death because
they cannot secure the bread.-tuffs

consume not more than twenty- j
four days in deeding each quarter-
section, and are willing to base
the assessment of lots on that time.
This will bring the lots down to
an average cost of about per
lot. Inferior outside lots will cost
probably not more than fifty cents,
while the best corners will cost
not more than #3.50. The aggre-
gate cost of proving up a whole
quarter will not reach over $1,000.
This will include *400 to be paid
for the land; notary fees of proba-
bly $75, and land office feesof$15.
To look at this from a business
standpoint and a comparison of
the cost of Perry proper, it cer-
tainly is remarkably low, and we
venture the prediction that if those
persons whoare disposed to "kick
were placed in the same position
and under the same responsibility
that the present townsite board is
now laboring, they wouldn't want
the job at that ratio. Then there
is another important consideration
to be looked at. Tho department
at Washington gave the land to
the settlers for townsite purposes
and provided a way to prove it up
through a board of government
trustees, and now after this has
been done, a few of these same
townsite contestants come in and
register a protest against the trus-
tees making proof of the land—the
very thing they have been want-
ing for the last three years. In
all cases of this kind, heretofore,
where the townsite settlers failed
to make proof, or signified their
intentions that they didn't want to
prove up the land, the department
has cancelled the townsite and
gave the land to the homestead
claimant, who entered the ianij,
and these cases may follow the
precedent of other and similar
cases before the settlers are aware
of their conditions.
Now the Sentinel has stood
with the townsite settlers on any
and all questions wherein Uieir in
terests have lieen at stake, and it
now gives them friendly advice,
and (.bat is to stop this kicking and
unite together and have the lands
proved up tis soon as possible,
thereby stopping all possible mis-
takes that rpight accur in delaying
the jnatte? by protesting. "A
bird in the hand is worth twp in
the bush" is applicable in thispasa,
and when you can get your deed
from tho government—the I test
deed in tho world—for an average
of $'2 per lot, you had letter take
it, and take it nuick. Delays are
dangerous and the first thing you
because those who burn it cannot
buy coal. Perhaps someone can
prove that the tariff laws have
something to do with the cause,
but it requires a great stretch of
the imagination to believe it. In
Now York city preparations are
being made for a revelry among
the millionaire circles, and in the
shadow of the millionaires' man-
sions men and women and children
are crying for bread. The bank
vaults of eastern cities are bulg-
ing with money that is earning
nothing, while men aro asking that
they be given employment in pro-
ductive lines. In the west farmers
are bewailing the fact that the
prices for grain will not pay the
cost of raising it, despite tho fact
that thousands are starving because
they cannot get it.
In the language of one who
about to pass from public view, it
is a condition, not a theory, that
confronts us. There is an inttu
ence at work somewhere, somehow,
that prevents an interchange of
commodities. The time has passed
when business can be done upon
the primitive plan of truck trad-
ing, but the common medium of
exchange which we call money
seems to have lost its power oi
willingness to work. Instead of
performing its legitimate functions
it is idling away its time, and the
business interests of the country
suffer in consequence. It refuses
to act as a medium, and arrogates
to itself the rights and privileges
of a master. Until it is forced to
perform its legitimate functions
tho prevailing hard times and dis-
tress will continue. Financial theor-
ists may theorize and adopt reso-
lutions until the crack of doom,
but they cannot gainsay those facts.
Until men realize the fact that
money has value only as it operates
to exchange products of human
labor, western farmers will burn
corn while eastern men and women
starve because they cannot get it
people will freeze while the bank
vaults burst, and laborers will be
idle becauso no one can purchase
the products of their toil
We want, we want, we want,
For Governor, Dennis Flynn;
We will, we will, we will,
Then be in the swim.
But seriously, is'nt it a potent
fact that if Dennis Flynn was ap
pointed governor of our territory,
he could, under the changed polit-
ical affairs, and from his extensive
acquaintance with tho incoming
powers that lie in Washington,
of much more valuable service
to Oklahoma than any other man
that could be named. The Senti
nei. has no "finger in the pie'
which ever way it goes. From an
individual political standpoint we
care not who is appointed gover-
nor, and realizo that if we had a
personal choice it would cut no ice
with a Republican administration.
We hold only to the inherent l ight
of a common citizen, looking for
what we believe would l>e for the
future benefit of all the people of
Oklahoma, and under all surround-
ing circumstances, we are con-
incett that President McKinlev
could appoint no better advocate
to his cause than in the person of
Dennis Flynn, and we will hold to
this opinion until convinced, be-
yond a doubt, to the contrary.
ate, hereafter contracted in this |
state, and such as may be hereafter
contracted elsewhere, but the pay-
ment of which may bo attempted
to be enforced by process of law
in courts of this state, or in the
United States, sitting within the
limits of the state, and for all such
debts attempted to bo enforced by
sale under deed of trust without i
regard to the terms of contract.
Tho bill also provides that here-
after no judgments shall be rend-
ered in any court on any contract
for a specific kind of money—no
mat ter what the wording of the eon
tract, and shall bo rendered sim-
ply in dollars and cents, and shall
be payable in either gold or silver.
The last section of the bill reads
"All deeds of trust or mortg-
ages made hereafter to secure any
sum whatever, or purporting to
secure any note or bond or other
obligation, shall be rendered satis-
fied in the ordinary modes provi-
ded by law, on tender to the owner
or holdor of said debt, the amount
due thereon, in the gold or silver
coins of the United States at their
face value, and any sale made after
such payment or tender shall be
void.'
All tho Democrats and one Re-
publican, Piper of St. Louis, voted
for the bill. A strong tight will
bo made against it in the Senate,
but it now looks as if it would pass
and become a law.
NO. 110.
H. B. No. 116, introduced by
Representative Willis, is a meas-
ure of interest to every newspaper
man and every community in the
territory in that it encourages and
helps to build up legitimate news-
papers everywhere. Ihe bill is as
follows:
"An Act to regulate the printing
of legal notices and advertise-
ment.
"Be it enacted by the legislative
Assembly of the territory of
Oklahoma:
"Section 1. No legal notice,
advertisment or publication of any
kind required or provided by any
of the laws of the territory of Ok-
lahoma to be published, shall have
any force or effect as such, unless
the same be published in n gews-
paper of the county having gen-
eral circulation therein, and which
newspaper has lieen continuously
and uninterruptedly published in
said county during the period of
fifty-two consecutive weoks prior
to the first publication of the no-
tice or advertisement. Provided,
that nothing in this act shall in-
alidate the publication of a news-
paper which has moved its publi-
cation from one part of the county
to another | rt without breaking
the continuity of its regular issues
for the requsite length of timif

nothing in this act shall apply to
counties wherein no newspajier

that nothing in this act shall effect

ter its passage and approval.
1IUFFALO JONKH.
The K1 Reno Democrat of January
21st, produces an article headed "The
Porter talks," iu which it places our
Honorable C. J. Jones, familiarly
known In Oklahoma £.nd Kansis as
'•Buffalo" Jones, in a false light, In
which it caricatures him as the "cul
ored janitor" of the house of Repre
sentatives. In the tlrst place, IWITalo
Jones is a white man and was au hou
ored member of the Kansas legislature
from Finney county, when It took
both nerve and Integrity to battle
against the combined Influence of
deep laid schemes wherein the poo
pic's interests were at stake. The ed-
itor of the Sentinel has knowu Buf-
falo Jones for these many years, and
was personally acquainted with him
when he was a member of the Kansas
House lu 1880 7, and know whereof
we speak when we say that he not
only stood out square-toed against all
forms of chicanery, but proved to be a
stumbling block lu the way of class
legislation over which the county
seat schemers and public treasury
looters could not get over. The urtl-
cle lu the El Beno Democrat does
Mr. JoneB an Injustice, cither luten-
tljnally or through misapprehension,
and we rather think the latter pre-
vails. But when it comes to railroads
the Democrat Is right. Buffalo Jones
knows more In a minute about rail-
road building than any member of
either house knows In a week, and
this is not saying much, cither. It Is
true that he can give them "cards and
spades" and then some, when it
comes to railroad building. Buffalo
Jones Is scrgent-at-arms of the lower
house, but he is In the wrong place

amendment especially provides
that the boards of county commis-
sioners shall meet at regular quar-
terly periods anil shall remain in
session not more than five days in
each term in counties of less than
10,000 population, and not more
than eight days in counties of
more than 10,000 population. C all
|ed sessions are limited to one day s
duration four times a year, in ad-
dition to the special sessions for
tho equalization of assessments and
levying taxes as now provided by
statute. Accoimts against the
county must bo filed with tlie clerk
five days before the mectwg of
the county commissioners, which
shall be numbered in order of til-
ing ami placed on a callendar for
public inspection and convenience.
When any allowance, either in
whole or in part, is made upon
any claim and accepted by the per-
son making the claim, such allow-
ance shall be a full settlement of
the claim*. In the matter of letting
bridge contracts all bids must be
based upon plans and specifications
on tile in the county clerk's office,
and the board of county commis-
sioners shall consider no bids based
upon any other plans and specifi-
cations. Contracts must be award-
ed while tho commissioners are in
public session. Another amend-
ment prohibits the sale of public
lands or grounds in excess of $500
without first submitting tho ques-
tion to a vote of the people of the
county. Under the present bill
counties will bo liable for blanks
used by probate judges, justices of
the peace and constables in civil
cases, from which they are exempt
under the statutes.—State Capital
loser demand the full uuiount of
the policy on which %ehns paid
the premium. The insurance laws
should be amended so as to compel
insurance companies to pay the
full amount forwhich the property
is insured and that within thirty
days, or go out of business. When
a man gives a note for $1000 for a
piece of property he expects to
|,ay the full amount even though
the property might depreciate
one-half in value before the note
becomes due. When a m in pays
for Insurance he ought to know
that he is insured. If the amount
of the policy is too great, the in-
surance company should discover
the fact before the face of the pol-
icy is demanded.
GUTHRIE OIL MILL.
A cotton seed oil mill for the
capital city is a certainty. Such
mill will be in operation to handle
next year's cotton crop. A strong
company, headed by Eager and
Hunter, has been organized to
build at once a 40-ton mill, con
taining all the improved machinery
Plans aud specifications for the
plant have already been drawn and
contracts will be signed for the
machinery tomorrow. Ihis ma-
chinery will be made to order.
In connection with the plant the
company will operate its own elec
trie light plant. Two thousand
head of cattlo will be fed at the
plant. The new company asks no
bonus or plat of ground from the
city, and will do business solely on
its own hook.—Guthrie Leader.
FLYNN 18 PUT.
Chairman Sam Over street, of
the Republican central committee
received the following telegram
Monday:
"In compliance with the numer
ous requests from press and peo
pie in all counties in Oklahoma, J
will be 5 candidate for governor,
D. T. FLYNS."
An instance of the energy of tho
average Oklahoman: Mr. "ice-
man has a claim in Noble county,
but winter approaching and funds
being low, he concluded, to go to
ihe railroad and find work. Hunt-
ing a job, he struck Guthrie with
twenty-five cents in his pocket.
An acquaintance suggested trying
for a legislative clerkship. Yeo-
man is a young man 23 years of
age, with brains and energy and
without any other backing, went
after a place. Dame fortune at-
tended him, she always attends e -
ergy, and Yeoman was made chief
enrolling clerk of tho house. His .
dress ami appearance was not of
the best as "baching" on a claim
not conductive to nicety in dress,
but upon the strength of his job,
eoman secured cMidit of a tailor
ami barber and now one of the
finest appearing men in the legis-
lative halls is this young Oklaho-
ma pioneer.—Oklahoma City Ok

As Col. Johnson could not carry
the Democracy of goldbugism he
is straining every nerve to make
himself solid with Populism. The
great trouble with Johnson's poli-
tics is they are so mysterious
that ho forgets which principle he
favors. As w is said of Satan in
his serpentine peregrinations, "He
wires in-und wiren out and turns
upon himself about; it can t be

he is going out or coming back.

NO CltOSS OF GOLD.
The lower house of the Missouri
legislature has passed a bill that
prohibits the making of gold con-

Wednesday morning's Independent
sheet attempts to besmear tho char-
acter of the young ladles of Perry by
baBe luuendoes aud leaves the Im-
pression that none are safe lu the
company of the you'ig men of our
city. We can hardly tell at which
sex the sheet strikes, but judging
from Its "motherly advice" It applies
to both, aud intimates that no young
lady is competent to go upon the
streets or away from home unless In
careuf a regular chapertn. This Is
a bad state of affairs, Indeed, and a
sad commentary upon the moral cnudl
tion of our society, that Is If one Is to
judge from tone of the article lu Ihe
sheet referred to. But such is not
the case. While there way occasion-
ally be found one "black sheep" lu so-
ciety or a community, It Is no sign
that all arc subject, or yield to, the
seductive Inltueuce or fair promises.
In opposition to the morning sheet's
indirect charges against the young
ladles of l'erry, the Hkntinkl. re-
futes them In the strongest terms,
and will say that In no city or com-
munity does there c*ist a better or
more retlued class of young ladles and
gentlrmen than live In the city of
Perry. The morning sheet should
contiue its charge* to Individuals If it
knows theiu, and not to the cul ire
community.
THE ItEAL OWNER.
The Sentinel has been reliably
Informed that the Independent sheet
known as the Perry Democrat, Is now
owned, lu fee simple, by John A. Oli-
phant, the gold standard champion of
Republicanism, and under whose di-
rections It 19 now being groomed for
the city election. Roy Williams, the
editor, as everybody well knows, Is
Republican and the protege of Mr.
Ollphant. This allegation the Sen-
tinel makes is challenged for con-
tradiction, either by the editor or Mr.
Ollphant. Silence will be an admis-
sion of our charges and the public will
so construe them.
Those towns, like Perry, whose
schools are closed owing to war-
rant issues having reached the
limit, will have no more trouble if
they will get the legislature to ap-
ply the laws to school districts
which have put the counties on a
cash basis, and adtl a general fund
of a small amount each year to
care for old warrant indebtedness.

COUNTY AND CITY ATTOR-
NEY.
Some little discussion Is now in
vogue as to whether or not the city
of Perry has a city attorney. W.M
Bowles was city attorney at the time
of tils election as county attorney.
The tlrst of the year he qualified and
assumed the duties of county attor-
ney, and as yet no action has been
taken either by himself or the city
authorities as to his position as city
attorney. Now the question arrises
as to whether he can act as county
attorney without abrogating hU au-
thority as city attorney. Who will
explaiu the dilemma?

If our legislators will look after
some of the insurance companies
doing business in Oklahoma, they
will do good service to the people
in a way that will bring lienotit to
their constituents and teach the
arrogant companies a lesson that
will ilo them good. A company
will insure a house for an amount
that will not exceed a third or
