There has been
at the Depaitaqjint at
even if it ip aaidaOmmer. Bee
Hay did not eayeel to resume hi*
rial duties at Mis time, but when
reached. Washington be found a com-
munication ftpm Ruaaia oUering to
abolish iUte additional duties on Amerl-
can foods If this government would
abolisK the countervailing duty onflm-
sian sugar. He answered that the mat-
ter was in the courts and this govern-
ment nould do nothing until a decision
has been reached. Next, the Chinese
Minister called on Secretary Hay and
presented a claim for $600,000 for ill
treatment of Chinese at Butte, Montana,
in 1888. The claim was pigeonholed.
As China waited flfteen years before fil-
ing it, she can wait awhile longer to get
an answer to it. Secretary Hay's next
important caller was the new Minister
from Turkey, and he carried in his in-
side pocket a bank draft for 996,000, in
full payment of the claims of American
missionaries for' property destroyed in
Turkey, which have been hung up so
long. Naturally he received a cordial
welcome, not for the paltry sum of mon-
ey, but because its payment is a great
triumph for American diplomacy.
Lets make it a sure thing that the
Southwestern Normal shall be located
in Greer county and then, when it gets
simmered down to a family row, Man-
gum can easily throw little Granite
down and take it away from her.—Man-
gum Sun-Monitor.
Oh yost Crittenden is still frothing at
the mouth. Nothing under the sun
seems to settle on that poor man's des-
peptic stomach but great "gobs" of un-
digested food and,, hatred toward Gran-
ite.
Whenever "Big Mangum" throws
"Little Granite" down, the U. S. flag
will be planted in the heavens above
and the esgle screaming at the pearly
gates, "Oh no brother Crittenden, this
place ia too small for you, you will have
to go down to Mangum."
It is aaid that a ring has been formed
to control homesteads in the Oklahoma
Indian reservations by paying honor-
ably discharged sailors and soldiers,
wbo are allowed to make entry through
agents, and whose term of service counts
in the time required to reside on a home-
stead to aoquire title, for the use of
their names in making applications, and
that while the business is crooked it is
inaide the law, which, of course, requires
applioant to declare intention to aettle
on the land applied for, but which can-
not prevent his afterward announcing a
change of mind, and does not provide
any forfeiture of title because of such
change of mind. Of course, this may
be a alander on the numerous soldiers
and sailors whose name* are being tele-
graphed to Oklahoma agents, but it is
causing talk.
Now what a Joke it would be on the
committee to place the Southwestern
Normal at Weatherford. Surely this
will not be the caae. The committee
knows better than that. To place the
Normal in other than Greer county
would be simply absurd. It couldn't be
called a Southwestern Normal and be
placed outside this county. Oht No,
the committee wouldn't entertain such
an idea.
The foreman of the Rl Reno Ameri-
can, In a fit of drunkenness, ran in a page
of democratic plate matter. As a re-
ward the manager tred him Instsnter.
Moral: Be eue you have the right sow
by the ear.
From August 6th to SI st.
Washington, D. C., J«ly 20.—Acting
Secretary 6f the Interior Ryan today

erning the >*le of townatte property in

dent lot.

tween 12 o'olock noon and 1 o'clock p
m., and will continue from day to day
thereafter, 8unday excepted, within the
hours named until all the lots are sold
unless, because of inadequate bids or
other reasons deemed sufficient, the
secretary shall suspend or diaoontinue
the aale, but in no event will such sales
be continued beyond August 31, 1901
unless the Secretary of the Interior
shall otherwise specially direct.
4. The business lota will be sold first,
then the residence lots. The lot lowest
in number in the block lowest in num-
ber of the elass aold will be first offered
and sold and the sale will proceed in
numerical order until all the lots of the
class shall be sold.
6. The sale in each townsite will be
in the immediate charge of a commis
sioner to be appointed by you who shall
be assisted by such persons to be ap
pointed by you as may be necessary to

record of the sale.
6. A record shall be carefully made

purchase price, the date of aale and ths
amount of payment.
10. From time to time and as expe-
ditiously as may be the reports of sueh

of the Interior and thereupon patent
will be Issued to the purchaser.
11. The commissioner shall before

The Passenger Department of the
Rock Island Railway announces the
lowest rate to Cleveland on account of
the G. A. R. Encampment September
7 to 11, that has been accorded the Old
Soldiers since 1887. The rate is less
than one fare for the round trip. Tick-
ets will be on sale from stations west of
the Missouri river, September 7 to 11
inclusive ai d will be good to return up
to and including September 16, but the
return limit may be extended until Oc-
tober 8 by depositing the tickets with
Joint Agent before September 16 and
paying fee of fifty qenta.
The trip to Cleveland will be one of
much pleasure and enjoyment. The ex-
tremely low rate made by the Rock Is-
land will make it possible for large
numbers of the old soldiers and their
friends to go at a very small expense.
Prom Cleveland there will be cheap
rates in effect enabling thoee who de-
sire to visit the Pan-American Expo-
sition and this trip to Buffalo can be
made either by rail or boat.
Cleveland is making a special effort to
take the best care possible of the Vet-
erans ss well as visitors and afford them
every opportunity for a pleasant and
enjoyable time while in the city. The
new soldiers' monument located in the
publie square will be completed; the
electric lighting effecta of this monu
ment, It is said, will eclipse anything of
its kind heretofore attempted in this
country.
