Treasurer Thompson was sitting in
Jiis oflice when a young lady entered
and placed on the desk before him 842
in greenbacks and silver. The young
lady explained to the surprised treas-
urer that in she had been in the
employ of the territory doing clerical
work. When she received her salary
she discovered that she had been over-
paid S4-. She tried to correct the er-
ror and was told she was mistaken-^
the territory was indebted to her to
thut amount. She had never been
satisfied in iier own mind that she had
earned that amount of overtime. Her
conscience pricked her and she decided
to return it. Before the astonished
treasurer could question her she disap-
peared.

with a mosquito-bar dipnet, gives them
a minute long boiling hot shower bath
and then dries them. He says that the
dried bugs arc equal to Spanish flies in

drawers for half what Spanish flies
cost for the reason that he needn't pay
import duties on his goods.

The Oklahoma wheat crop for 1807
is far ahead of any crop yet grown in
the territory. The farmers are right
now in the midst of a busy threshing
season. Much of the grain is being
hauled right from the threshers to

the numerous anxious grain buyers.

in better circumstances financially,

The recent success of the mid-sum-
mer races at "Tulsa has decided the
Pair Association to give a full exhibit
and grand racing season at their beau-
tiful park, sometime during the com-
ing fall. The track is a half-mile, for-
ty feet wide, graded with the best of
care and engineering ability. It has
cost the association hundreds of dol-
lars to construct and put it in the pres-
ent excellent condition. Eyery move-
ment of the race can be seen from any
portion of the grounds from start to
finish. At the race last week a num-
ber of racing men front abroad were
present, and all pronounced the race
course the best in the territory. Ex-

Henry Muntzing, who resides near
Dale, in Pottawatomie county, com-
plains to Governor Barnes that his life
has been attempted on two occasions
by enemies, and he has repeatedly
sought their arrest by the county at-
torney, who refuses to act, giving as
his reason that the county has no
money with which to prosecute the
men. Henry says if the governor or
local authorities do not take steps to
spring. It is not yet bebuilt. The
result is that many farmers, who have
heretofore shipped their grain from
Guthrie and traded there, are forced to
trade at the town of Mulhall instead.
This naturally pleases Mulhall mer-
chants, and helps materially their
town, and just as naturally has the
opposite effect on Guthrie and its mer-
chants.
The Cherokee intruders have been
given a twist by Secretary Bliss, and
have again been ordered to leave the
Cherokee Nation, It is no use, they
will not go. Watts has done wonders,
lie has for years outwitted the shrewd-
est men of the Cherokee Nation, and
he will continue to do so. Their claims
to citizenship are before the appellate
court, and nobody knows when the
cases will be decided. Until they are
disposed of they will remain where
they are, and when the Cherokee Na-
tion proceeds to execute Secretary
Bliss' order, it will be confronted by
an order from Judge Springer's court,
and there you are. Tribal authority
may cease, Indian courts may be abol-
ished, and even the Dawes commission
may linger no longer, but the Wattses
will go forever.
Logan county's levy for 1897 has
been fixed at 17 mills. The board of
commissioners met on the 17 and took
decisive action. Seventeen mills was
estimated as sufficient to cover the
actual expense of the county—a reduc-
tion of 11 mills from the estimate. In
1806 the valuation of the county was
$2,730,512; this year the valuation has
increased to 83,033,326. The levy of 17
mills will save to the taxpayers of
