several of which far exceed the de-

but the country was once in the
hands of the English, and if Hug-
land can still take pride in cur ad-
vancement over here, why, we
should not begrudge it any com-
fort it may derive from the con-
templation.
But there are others apart from
Mr. Stead who are following the
fortunes of this country and wdio
cannot help acknowledging the
wonderful progress it is making
not only iu a mental tut in a ma-
terial way. For instance, the Lon-
don Meat Trader Journal of a re-
cent date presents facts to show
that the people ot !liw country are
much better off than they are in
the old country. This is far from
being news to us, but it is none
the less agreeable to learn from
others that they acknowledge the
fact.
The journal alluded to points
out that Great Britain has in agri-
cultural horses, 1,500,000; cattle,
6,75°.Q°3; sheep, 26,350,000; hogs
2,250,000; making a total of 36,-
| j 750,000. The five leading western
g ] markets in thi; country are pointed
u , showing that there were receiv-
ed last year at these more than 7,-
co) ox) cattle, 6,500,000 sheep,
18,250,000 hogs and 330,000
horses. It is also shovvn that last
■ year the slaughter of cattle, hogs

I was two thirds of tho whole uuni-
1 ber of domestic animals in Gr.-at
8 Britain at the time the census wa.-:
g | last taken. Or to put it in another
way, says this journal, the number
of cattle slaughtered at the fiva
;j. uia.kc - was greater than thi en-
£ I tire nu::ih:r of . altle in Great
Si Britain. The slue", received were

tinea as many. "Is it surprising,"
asksi our foreigu contemporary,
"that America is increasing in
wealth, and in agricultural wealth
too, in spite ul tlic low cost of land
and the comparatively small pro-
duction per acre?''
Commenting further ou this
condition of affairs, the British
journal says that when these facts
are carefully weighed, the people
there can obtaiu sonieid-aof the
vastuess of the influence of Amer-
rictllture is concerned. It was re- t:ie beHt towu in -ndicn Territory,

A CLAREMORE MYSTERY
SOLVED.
A press dispatch sent out fron-
Claremore unuer date of the 15th
gives the . following remarkable
story ot an old citizen of that town-
A ten years' mystery has been
revived by the receipt of the fol-
lowing telegram from Denver: "It
is George Niyper," signed, "T.
Chambers."
About ten years ago George
Nipper, a wealthy cattleman in
Indian Territory, left his home
here and went to Houston, Texas,
taking with him about $6,000. He
intended to buy Southern cattle iu
Texas and ship to his ranch here.
Iiis wife aud children remained at
home to take care of the ranch and
expected Nipper to return in a
short time. Nipper wrote from
Houston, Texas, that he arrived
there all right. Mrs. Nipper
looked for letters from him in vain
Inquiries, were made and no trace
of Nipper could be found. The
matter o.l this way for threi
years and the people concluded
that Nipper had bee:i killed and
r /ohed in Texar-, aud an iuturunee
company paid Mrs. Nipper $1,000
as a compromise. She mar. ied D
L. Denny, a cattleman at Clare-
mare, and lived with i.iui a few
\ ears. They separated and Mrs.
Nipper returned to Le
ranch ar.d made her home with
her elder son, Henry Walkey.
A few days ago M. D. Woodson
met a man iu Denver who asked
him for charity. Mr. Woodson
recognized the wayfarer as George
Nipper. 'I he mecticg of old friends

Mr. Woodsou, 1 ut asserted that

Wednesday night a franchise was
granted to build and operate a
waterworks system and a street
car line iu the towu of Chelsea,
ana he will bigin work at once 011
an artesian well to get a good sup-
ply cf water, although his fran-
chise gives him six months iu
which to do this.
The Cherokee Land, Coal and
Savings Co., of which Colonel
Blackwell is president and general
manager, is cow loading and ship-
ping coal every day, and it is a
very fine grade of coal, too.
The Colonel is one of the most
active, energetic men, we have
ever known, and when he makes
up his nihid to do anything, he
dees it. He told the Reporter he
was going to make Chelsea a good
big town, and he will do it. Men
with ibis kind of grit and push are
what make gocd towns and we
would like to see more of thein.

young lady unblushingly perusing
the latest popular novel.
