consists of thirty members. 1 is
little short of marvelous that an in-
stitution of this magnitude should ex-
ist in so young a country. Its equip-
ment. both in men and material, in-
dicates that the young men ami wom-
en of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
need not go to other stat

For those who cannot take complete
courses various "short courses" have
been established. Perhaps the most
important of these Is the so-called
school of agricultu:
economy. This is
two years of twenty weeks each, be-
ginning this year October 17 and
closing March 15 -designed for boys
and girls from th" farm who are un-
able to leave home for nine months.

civil engineering are having most re- j
markalde success in winning and
holding good positions. Feeling that
this record is a very creditable one.
the authorities of ihe college have re
cently issued an illustrated booklet,
showing the work of the graduates, a
copy of which will be sent upon ap-
plication.
Complete courses are given in agri-
culture. engineering (mechanical,
electrical and civil), and general sci-
ence and literature. A great many
people have gotten the idea, from the
words "agricultural and mechanical."
that the college teaches practically
nothing but agriculture and mechan-
ics. This Is a great mistake Ample
Instruction is given In the languages

matics. all of the scienccs, literature,
history, political economy, etc. For
young women there is a splendidly
equipped department of domestic

word, homemaking—are taught, both
theoretically and practically.

Upon Which Peace Can be Secured

PORTSMOUTH, N. H.: Reim

in the prosecution of the war and
the cession of the Island of Sakhalin
constitute the main features of the
peace negotla' ons handed by Baron.
Koraura to Mr. Wttte The word "in<

term employed being "reimburse |

ment between the two countries after
the expenditures of the Japanese .
have been ascertained. These are
the two all important conditions, and
those which the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries find absolutely unacceptable. ;
Inaccetpable as they are, however, j
ft can be stated that these two prin-
cipal conditions did not come as a
surprise to the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries. The fashion in which Baron
Komura explained the conditions be
and domestic jore handing them to Mr. Witte an''
hort course of tho avoidance of the word "indemn

for negotiations, and constitute the
main hope that a final agreement is
possible. Certainly the danger of a
ultimate result may be, Is precluded
by developments so far. The other
terms are substantially v\hat the pub-
lic expected, and with one. or perhaps
two, exceptions, could probably be
entertained as a basis of negotiations.
These include the following:

MAIL CLERKS AS POSTMASTER3
A Belief That Men Who Risk Their
Lives Should be Rewarded
That the railway mail clerks who
have risked their lives In the servlco
for many years should be given sub-
stantial recognition by the govern
ment. is the view taken by the rail-
way mail clerks of Missouri. Kansas
and Colorado and New Mexico, c.insti-
tuting the Railway Mall Clerks' asso-
ciation of tho seventh division, who
held their annual convention at Kan-
sas City, which was attended by 1*10
delegates.
The specific plan Indorsed by the
convention, which has received tho
approval of postal clerks practically
all over the country. Is that railway
mail clerks who have bet n In the
service for thirty years or who have
been incapacitated for further service
on the road by reason of injuries re-
ceived in the line or duty, should be
appointed to presidential postofflces.
Their number would not, be so great
that any revolution In the manage-
ment of postal affairs would be affect-
ed by the enactment of such a law,

Many Cases Reported Yellow Fever |
Are Some Forrr^ of Malaria—Ar*
rests for Violation of Quarantine
Rules—Taking No Chances
NEW ORLEANS: The yellow fever
situation here may be considered en-
couraging, in spite of the large num-
ber of new eases reported, in that
very few cases are above ('an:il
street. The lat« st list places the ;
number of ca.-es above nine hundred, j
with the total deaths at nearly two
hundred.
The public, however, having recon
died Itself to the execution of a
heavy list for some days to come, was
undismayed by the report. Both lay
and scientific, opinion still give the
situation hope. It Is admitted that
not all the cases embraced In the
daily totals of the authorities are
actually yellow fever Even at the
emergency hospital, to which the
worst cases go. numbers of them
have been diagnosed finally as ma-
laria or a form of typhoid. All sus-
picious cases, whatever their nature,
that are turned in by inspectors and
doctors, go at once Into the yellow
fever list, and there Is no correction
of the totals if diagnosed determines
a case to be other than the prevailing
fever.
The marine hospital service has
made so good an impression with
the manner in which it is doing fts
work of disinfection that confidence
has been invited nnd the false Im-
pression among the uneducated
classes as to the expense and risk
| of reporting cases are being rapidly
removed.

a number of men of high standing in

SEED FOR OKLAHOMA FARMS THE SHERIFF PAID THE REWARD
Large Quantities of Red Turkey Va-

OKLAHOMA CITY: S. V. Topping,
secretary of the Oklahoma Millers as-
sociation. has gone to Kansas City and
Chicago to secure the new seed wheat
for the farmers of Oklahoma, accord-
ing lo a proposition ov the millers and
grain dealers to supply the farmers
with fresh seed wheal for this falls
sowing. While in Chicago Mr. Top-
ping will make an effort to secure a
reduced railroad rate on shipments
of seed wheat.
During the past month Mr Topping
has arranged with different millers
and grain men as to how much of
the seed wheat they will take. At
some points as much as three carloads
have been asked for, and other deal-
ers will take one or two cars, as
the demand in their respective locali-
ties warrant. From the inquiries re-
ceived It is estimated that not less
that one hundred cars can be used
for the fall sowing. The seed wheat
to be shlpepd here will be the best
grade of the Turkey red variety,
which has been grown in Kansas for
several years with marked success.
