Von Hindenburg is the hero of the

cism In Berlin of the German retreat
from Warsaw, but if the present
marked reversal of form proves per-
manent. the German center doubtless
will retrieve its reputation just as the
nllies retrieved themselves almost at
the gates of Paris.
The German wedge from Posen
would appear to have driven the Rus-

about midway between German terri-

in Galicia, before Cracow and in

been compelled to fall back They
also are showing much activity in the

New York—The Chicago. Rock Is-

at public auction on November 24 as
ordered by the federal district court.
The circuit court of appeals reversed
the lower court'* order by a decision
handed down In the litigation looking
to a foreclosure sale in the suit
brought by the Central Trust Com-
pany as trustea.
The foot and mouth disease, now SSu mSSSSu
prevalent among five stock in many ('alvin and Lamar, j \v r'cunninrh*m:
states, has not reached Oklahoma, ac-
cordinp to Secretary Ben Hennessey ^---~ * * vatt
of the state board of agriculture. From
several places the board of agriculture
has received reports of what was be-
lieved bv farmers to be the presence
of the disease among their stock, but
in each instance it was turned out to
be something else.
The board of agriculture, Mr. Hen-
nessey says, is making every effort it
can to keep in close touch with the
situation locally and render whatever
assistance It can to stamp out the dis-
ease If it should appear in Oklahoma,
in places where supposed cases of the

gress In 1902. forty acre* or land were
alloted to each freedman in the Chick-
asaw nation, but the court holds that
lie 1 ci tniruflej to give thw
freedman equal rights with the In-
dians.
The opinion la given In the case ow

to enjoin the collection of taxes on
their land by an order from the dis-
trict court of G&rviu county. Judg*
R. McMillan sustained a demurrer to
the plea of the petitioners, and hi*
ruling Is sustained by the higher-

Another importan decision, dealing
with the subject of taxation also warn
given by the court. It was by Jus-
tlce F. E. Riddle, holding that countv
commissioners have the authority to
