is for the reorganization of the com-
mittee and such other business as
may come before the body. It is
necessary for every member in the
county tobe present at this meeting,
und three of the members have mov-
ed from the county ii will be neces-
sary foriIn- committee to make pro-
visions to have the vacancies tilled.

GIVE THEM THE SHAKE.
There is an institution styling
itself as the "Sprague's Colletion
Agency" under the the supervi-
sion of an itinerant agent by the
name of W. A. Montgomery work-
ing this locality, who should be
given the icy shoulder on every
occasion. This idea of employing
an unknown man or an unknown
agency to collect a few little petty
bills standing out among the citi-
zens of Noble county is the sim-
plest kind of nonsense and should
go unnoticed by all respectable
business men of our city. If there
are any bad debts contracted by
our business men there are attor-
neys in Perry who are able and com-
petent to attend to the collection
without going outside of the city
and especially to traveling pro-
fessionals for aid. If you have
given this traveling agent a job
to collect a few bad accounts you
had better withdraw the same
from him and, if necessary, give
the job to some reputable attor-
ney in Perry who is responsible
for what collections may be made.
These traveling fakes should be
given a cold shoulder on every
turn they make.
READY FOR BUSINESS.

sponsible business men and prop-
erty owners of the city and every
citizen of Perry, whether he is a
member or not should assist the
hoard of directors in every xvay

OUT OF A JOB.
Maud Muller on a summer day
was helping put the wheat away.
And she sighed sometimes for dis-
tant lands, where the girls don't
assist the harvest hands. The
Judge rode by—a man of note—
to see how her father means to
vote. And he craved a drink and
she coyly laughed at his compli-
ments as he gazed and quaffed.
His heart beat fast, but he said
"good day" then remarked "gid-
dep!" and pursued his way. She
watched him go and softly sighed.
"Tis a lucky lass who becomes his
bride." And the Judge sighed
too, with his brain uwhirl, "Maud
Mullet's a mighty handsome girl."
The years passed on and the usual
fate came to those who mix in the
affairs of state. Maud's family
labored front dawn 'till dark, as
the price of wheat reached the dol-
lar mark. And her bright eyes
shown with a fresher charm, as
lie lifted the mortgage off the
farm. While tho Judge, as he
owned, with a dismal sob, was a
federal official without a job,

LATE LAND DECISIONS.
In the case of William Donley
vs. James E. Lilly, the depart-
ment denies motion for review and
rehearing. The land involved is
the northeast <|".arter of section
27, township 2!), rnnge 1 west,
Perry, Oklahoma.
A motion for review tiled by
Thomas O'Byrne against the
homestead entry of Joel M. liurch
involving the southwest quarter
of section 21, township 24 north,
range 1 west, Perry land district
Oklahoma, is denied by the de
partment.
Charles W. Navie has tiled t
motion for review in the case of
Ryan vs. Navie, involving the
northwest quarter of section 35,
township 26 north, range 4 west.
Enid land district. It is denied
by the department.
A motion for review is also de-
nied William H. Ryan against the
homestead entry of Troy 15. Baker
for the southeast quarter of sec-
tion 21, township 23 north, range
I west, Perry, Oklahoma.
James M. Mackey has tiled a
motion for review of departmen-
tal decision of September 4 1897,
which holds intact homestead ett
try number 5058, made by John
R. Wilson, for the southesst quar-
ter of section 7, township 25 north
range 1 west, Perry, Oklahoma.
It is also denied by the depart
ment.
The Interior department today
handed handed down two decisions
in contested land cases in Ok la
homa. They are as follows:
hi the case of William E. Cun-
ning Austin L. Ferryman vs.
Samuel II. Lappington, it appears
that Lappington made homestead
entry for the northwest quarter of
section 20, township 2(1 north,
range 2 east. Perry, Oklahoma,
September lit, 18il3, and the same
was suspended because of the loss
of his booth certificate. This liav
ing been supplied the application
was allowed April 4 1894. In the
meantime, on September 2<>, 1893
William R. Cunningham made
homestead application for the
tract, but the same was suspended
on account of Lappington's appli
cation, anil on September
following "he
against the former application,
alleging settlement]on said land on
September 16, 18! 3 prior to tho
thereon about9 o'clock a. in., Sep-
tember^, 1893. Tnisappliration
was also suspended. There were
ither contests tiled, hut it is not
necessary to refer to them for the
reason that they arc not now be-
fore the department.
A herring was had before the
local offices.'and as a result they
recoilimended the cancellation of
Lappington's entry; also that Cun
ningham be allowed to make entry
of the tract. Ferryman and Lap
pington appealed and the general
land office on March 7, 189(1, af-
firmed the action of the lower
ourt.
It seems that I'errvmau appeal
ed, and with this appeal was for-
warded a motion, tiled in the gen
eral land office by Lappington foi
rehearing. This motion not
having been passed on the gen
eral land office, the department,
on June 17, 18',17, remanded the
case back for the consideration of
the snuie.
The general land office on July
18117 overruled Lappington's
motion, whereupon lie also appeal
and the entire record was then
forwarded to the department and
the case considered on the appeals
tiled by Ferryman and Lappington]
The department, on October 12,
1897, formally affirmed the decis-
ions below. Ferryman tiled a
motion for review of the depart-
mental decision which was denied
December 13, 1897.
Lappington also tiled a seperate
motion for review and the same
was denied December 21, lsn7,
for the reason that there was no
affidavit of merit accompanying
the same. On the representation
of council for Lappington that
there had been filed, within time,
in the general land office, such an
affidavit, the former decision was
recalled and the general land oil
ice was directed to re-transmit the
papers for further consideration
and the motion is now before the
department.
In rendering a decision in
case the department says:
"While it is conceded by
department that the testimony in
this case is of such a character
that fair minds disagree as to the
conclusion to be deduced there-
from, yet it is not seen how the
newly discovered evidence would
tend to any better or any satisfact-
ory solution of the question at is
sue, and the motion for rehearing
is denied."
Tho department denies the mo-
tion for review tiled by Benjamin
H. Brunei' in the ease of Brunei'
vs. Mitchel, involving the south-
east quarter of section 3, township
28 north, range 3 cast, Perry land
district, Oklahoma.
The department says in its de-
cision: "Tho de|iartment does not
deem that it would lie justitiicd,
upon the record before it, in or-
dering Much investigation. On the
question of prior settlement the
department likewise adheres to its
former decision."

Congressman Loud, of Cali-
fornia, is actively pushing his pet
measure the bill to alter the pres
ent laws relating to second class
mail matter. This bill failed of
passage at the last session of con-
gress, ami it is hoped that it will
again meet a like fate. The bill
places a host of restrictions upon
publishers and practically leaves
teem at the mercy of the postmas-
ter-general's xxhim. Under it
provisions the cheap paper edi
lions of Dickens, Scott and other
standard authors must advance in
price, as the publishers of such
works xx ill lie debarred from ••end-
ing them through the mails at the

per pound. Instead they xvill be
