ran over a steer about half way be-
tween here and Hoffman and the en-

crete walks and the best school house

that every new town can’t boast of
Mr Neff’s two hounds jumped a
jack rabbit last Monday evening
and ran it down through the town
It was a very pretty chase and one
thoroughly enjoyed by all who saw
it Mr Neff has two splendid hounds
and it is very seldom anything gets
away from them It is quite a pretty
sight to see how they work a rabbit
back and forth just before catching
him
Some people who "do not under-
stand” would think it very funny in-
deed if they were stationed on the
road leading east from town about
750 every other evening and would
see two ycung men and two dogs
making their departure from Council
HilL Of course they are only going
away temporarily because if they
didn’t they could not make the trip
again two nights later They must
go a great distance because it is to
our knowledge that they don’t return
until late in the night Of course
this only appears funny those who
“Do not understand”

ting out shade trees this week and it

work?
Mr E J Wells of Rock Island Illi-
nois was a prospector in and around
Council Hill last Monday Mr Wells
was much impressed by the exception-
al good quality of black land we
have here when interviewed by the
editor he said he would likely return
in a week or two to buy some proper-
ty He was surprised at the land a-
round Council Hill being priced so
low to what his land in Illinois is
worth
Secretary Garfield showed that he
meant business when he said: “Too
much Red Taye” and then set to
work to knock some of it in the head
In the first place where he has won a
home in the hearts of the Indian Ter-
ritorians is that he let a whole week
go by without passing some new rule
governing Indian lands that would
keep this country back a year or two
and then when he removed Judge
Campbell and appointed Judge Wood-
ruff in his place put him several
notches higher in the esteem of the
people and now he says that Creek
deeds will not have to go to Wash-
ington to be approved as heretofore
If Garfield keeps up his good work
the people of the Territory will think
more of him than an Arkansawyer
ever thought of Jeff Davis
Box Supper
The uadies Aid Society will give a

A big Business Deal
J V Fenner last week sold his
business building occupied by the
Council Hill Hardware Co Mr Kargus
with a party of several other men
was in Council Hill several days last
week and became so well' impressed
with our town and the outlook for its
future that he immediatly bought
some property to become as he ' said

town he had seen He had travled all
over the I T and likes the country
around here Mr Kargus a ill return

Our Time
For the past week or ten days the
big daily newspapers have been telling
us that the world was coming to end
on account of a comet which seems to
be strolling around the heavens Most
of the papers have said that this
would occur to day but some of them
have put it off until April 5th however
astromers tell us that some time
today a comet will pass very close
to the earth and that the atmos-
phere will be very warm they also
say that there will be a faint gaseous
smell left by this comet but as for the
world coming to an end as some of
the great scientists would have us
believe there is hardly any foundation
to it In some parts of the Indian
Territory though there ought to be a
comet strike a death blow to some of
the jnhabitant as they deserve it and
we are quite sure that if the Maker
had his way about every thing that
some of us woul 1 be gon before now
There’s no rj -r all and as this
promises to be a very hot summer here
why he will let us stay here until
warm weather is over with and by that
time he will be reaey to take care of
us

The toll roada once ao numerous all
over the country are ( gradually but
surely becoming free public highways
The toll system was recognized as a
necessity of earlier times but the
modern spirit will not submit to the
restrictions Involved In being com-
pelled to pay tribute to private own-
ership Yet the toll road has by no
means entirely disappeared and It Is
found even In close proximity to big
and prosperous cities Cleveland O
one of the foremoat towns In the
state Is moving to secure the aboli-
tion of 19 miles of toll roads in Cuya
hoga county In which Cleveland is
located Rensselaer county some years
ago threw open its tollgates and can

More Wholesome Sport
Throughout the middle west as la
other parts of the country athletic
conditions in the high schools colleges
and universities had reached a state
of disgraceful and sordid arrogance
when two years ago a conference of
the governing boards of nine of the
leading Institutions of the Interior
took the matter under consideration
They found high-school boys who had
been induced to leave school a year or
two ahead of time In order to enter
some college which waa willing to
smooth the intellectual pathway In
return for athletic servicea Profes-
sionalism was rife and not only
winked at but almost openly encour-
aged: and rivalry waa so keen that
even middle-aged professors found
their relations with professors In other
colleges strained by the hostile feeling
between tbeandergraduates The de-
sire to win and the hope of making
money by winning had killed the true
spirit of sport The governing boards
of the nine colleges which met to con-
sider the matter took radical steps
Professionalism was prohibited by the
most stringent regulations all contests
between certain of the fiercest rivals
were discontinued and a uniform date
for beginning training In the fall was
fixed The new rules have now had a
year's trial -with the result of clearing
the air and establishing college ath-
letics upon saner and more whole-
some footing' A second conference
was lately held to consider possible
changes In the rules Although great
pressure was brought by some of the
student bodies the members of the
athletic conference committee stood
firm Only one change waa made
The rule fixing a uniform date for be-
ginning practice was rescinded Even
that may be restored The colleges of
the middle west therefore says
Youth's Companion are to have an-
other year of cleanliness and decency
and manliness In sport another
chance to learn that to win is not the
main object of athletlca among gen-
tlemen but that “the game's the
thing"
The famous old Santa Fe trail Is to
hr 7Viked so that Its location will not
be forgotten The school children of
Kansas were asked to contribute a
penny each to secure suitable markers
for this pioneer highway of progress
and 369166 responded With this
fund the trail will be outlined In an
enduring manner from Kansas City to
Santa Fe 600 miles as the caravans
made it the time consumed for the
round trip being 110 days It Is be-
lieved the trail dates back to 1540
when a Spanish adventurer led an ex-
pedition from Mexico as far north as
Kansas Hut It was not until the be-
ginning of the last century that the
American trader utilized the long trail
that stretched out Into the wilderness
of the new El Dorado
The mayor of Huddlesfleld England
some time ago offeerd to give a pound
sterling to every child born during bis
term who should live to be a year old
This prize has It Is said already
caused a marked lessoning of Infant
mortality in the town parents being
inspired to take better care of their
offspring The mayor is a step in ad-
