Mark Hanna isn't the first man

Nothing superstitious about the

Sknator Hanna found it as dif-
licult to obtaiu rest at home as in
Washington, so he has returned to

The evident anxiety of some men
to avoid another Senatorial Sugar
investigation makes them object to
suspicion.
The U. S. Senator who specu-
lates in everything affected by Con-

The Hon. John Wanamaker

break into the Senate.
A Maryland preacher has lo-

Mrs. Gf.n. Logan talks as though

half o( all taxes shall be due on the
fifteenth day of June and the fifteen-
th day of December of each year
and 011 the third Monday in Jan-
uary following the assessment of
taxes all unpaid taxes shall become
delinquent." Now if the legisla-
ture intended the taxes should be-
come due in June and December jf
the year for which they were levied,
then the first half of this year's tax-
es will be due and payable next
month." Under the law the levy
for this year's taxes is not made un-
till July, so that one -half of the tax-
es are made due and payable before
the estimate or levy is made. "Again,
if the legislature ment that the tax-
es were due in December aud the
June following, as it was under the
law of 1895, then the latter part of
of th>! law above quoted is out of
place, for it says all unpaid taxes
shall become delinquent on the third
Monday in January following the
assessment. If this be the construc-
tion placed ubon the law, one of the
taxes would be advertised as delin-
quent before they were due. In ei-
ther case the law is rediculous and
shows upon its face that the men
who framed it were incompetent or
exceedingly careless—very likely
both, in the discharge of their duty."
The only error in law is that June
and December were transposed in
amending the old law, which was
December and June. However, the
unamended sections of the law show
plainly when taxes are due. The sec-
tion which says a rebate can be had
by paying one-half the taxes in De-
cember and the other half be allow-
ed to run to June still stands; as does
also the section which says that one-
half of the taxes are not paid in De-
cember, the whole shall become due.
The time the whole shall come due,

! The Rights of a Young Wife.
"Before everything else the young
woman has a right to expect from
her husband tenderness, sympathy
and faith,"says Ruth Ashmare, wri-
ting in the June Ladies Home Jour-
nal of "What to Expect from a
young Man." "But sometimes, in
his eagerness to make all life fair to
her, he fancies she is a doll, and not
a woman. And a doll is a very sel-
fish toy; it demands careful treat-
ment all the time, and it gives noth-
ing but a pretty appearance in re-
turn. It is the foolish wife who ex-
pects infallibility in her husband.
She forgets that there is a difference
between the housewife and house
nioth. She should expect from her
husband politeness at all times, and
a certain gentleness that every man,
possessing the real instinct of a
man, gives to a woman. But she
should not expect from him to much.
She has no right what-ever to ask
of him permission to live a lazy life
herself, aud to give up all her day3
and years to vain and idle thoughts.
When tli" wife can make her hus-
bands home-coming a joy, his home-
staying a pleasure and a delight, and
his leaving home a sorrow, then, and
then only, can she expect a great
deal from him.

won the case before the local land
office and this decision will end the
case and give the claim to Ed. The
contest oyer t his claim has been one
of the most bitterly fought cases
iu the territory. It has covered a
period of almost eight years and re-
sulted in untold trouble. Mr. Bal-
lard, a prominent colored politician,
was Mr. Yanderpoofs contestant,
who was killed by Vanderpool over
the claim. Ed was tried lor the ^kil-
ling of Ballard and acquitted. The
heirs took up the contest and fought
the case before the local land ollice
and the interior department. Attor-
ney Fred Beall, of Washington, rep-
resented Mr. Vanderpool before
the interior department. Mr. Van-
derpool says it was through the
untiring efforts of Mr. Beall that lie
got the decision so 30011.—Guthrie

Dale Coming to the Front.
Professor W. N. Hammond. D.D.,
the general agent of the American
Home University of St. Louis, and
lames M. Phillips, Esq., one of the
proprietors of Dale, visited this citv
yesterday. Mr. Phillips is quite en-
thusiastic over Dale. The old town
has moved up its buildings to the
new town. The Choctaw people are
erecting a large and elegant depot
tnere. Mr. Phillips has put the
price of the lots down to a men
nominal sum, so as to induce mer-
chants, manufacturers and business
men generally to open business there.
He offers tc donate every other lot
to business men. The land in and
around Dale for many miles cannot
be beet for its productiveness in the
United States. It is pleasently sit-
uated on the North Fork of the
Canadian river. The Dale valley
is one of the richest valleys in the
territory. It is about ten miles in
length and averages about four miles
in breadth on each side of the river,
corn, cotten, wheat, oats and all
kinds of farm produce and vegeta-
bles never fail. The M. E. church,
the M. E. church south, the Chris-
tians and Baptists hold services
there regularly.—Oklahoman.
It was one of the strange coinci-
dences of the recent cyclone that
the district court had adjourned
early in the afternoon on account
of an error made by John Dawson,
the lawyer who was burned to death.
Da vson was an attorney in the case
set for trial that afternoon, and had,
by mistake, his witnesses subpoenaed
for the following day, so the case
had to be continued, and. as no other
was ready for trial, court adjourned.
Had it not been for this mistake
the court room would have been full
of men when the cyclone struck.—

If we understand matters right
the county weigher must reside in
the county seat. At least Gov.
Renfrow refused to appoint a man
in Graut county weigher because
he did not live in the county seat,
yet he appointed a man in Potta-
watomie county who does not live
in the county seat, and who does
not intend to live here.
