cnlv refuse to publish this latest story, but shall bo careful about giving
any further publicity of this kind, unless the attitude ot the press ag
becomes materially changed.
OI K CAKA1HAN COMPETITOR.
Competition with the big meat packers of this country l.as appeared
in Canada dresed meats having been shipped into the United States daily
his "ear Edmonton contributed five car loads a day. Butter also s
coming to the states in car loads. Both dressed meat and butter ship-
ments are due to the strides made In mixed farming in the "glon whlch
won its first fame as "The Empire of Wheat." A report of prices obtatacd
at a sale of pure-bred bulls in Calgary goes far to verify the determina-
tion of farmers and ranchmen to go extensively Into stock raising in con-
rectlon with field crops. Along the line of the Canadian Northern high
prlccs have been paid for fine stock. What the result of this change
will be upon the packing and dairy Interests of the states is a problem
which the statisticians have tackled without success.
THE VI1XI> OK INVESTMENTS.
Changes in the Investment field, due to the new currency law and
other things, may be hastened by the meeting of the board °f «°™rn°"
of the Investment Bankers' association, held In Cincinnati April 24-2S. The
national and state banks are selling more bonds every day. The invest-
ment houses have 360 salesmen on the streets of Chicago and as many
more abroad in the search for investors, according to a recent summary
in the New York Times Analyst. That article said:
• Here there is no mistaking the Investment drift todward the regular
banks, which have the great advantage of knowing where the peoples
• money Is. The growth of investment banking houses business w as most
rapid during the period when the regular banks were not aggressively
competing with them for Investment business They Increased In number
from nine to sixty-eight between 1898 and 1914, while the national and
state banks combined increased from twenty-four to one hundred and ten.
There are among the private Investment concerns here seventeen branches
of eastern houses, selling bonds or mortgages to the banks and other in-
stitutions and to the general public. Investment houses of the early da>s
seemingly made a mistake by confining their expansions to a limited circle,
by advertising In circulars to a comparatively small clientele, and through
the •quality circulation' newspapers Instead of through those having broa
circulation."
Stability
Anything ot consequcnce to be accomplished requires determi-
nation and stlck-to-it-lve-nesB.
A great factor to a successful career, is thrift. Accumulation
is the result of a determined policy to save a portion of wages,
.■alary or Income. Those who adopt a policy of this kind are the
BuccesBful people of the community.
Weekly saving*, putting on deposit in the bank a small amount
each week creates a habit which results in a tboro"8h aequa n-
,;,nce with business methods and the accumulation of money for

PROBLEM FOR
LAND LAWYERS
SPECIAL, TO KEWI-HEBAt-n.
Oklahoma City, April 29. Deciding
who shall inherit the lands and per-
sonal property of deceased Indians
is one of the occasional problems
that puzzle officials of the state and
of the Indian agencies in Oklahoma.
This 1b due to the peculiar matrimon-
ial tangles that have been brought
about by the informal marrying of
some of the old members of the
tribes.
Here Is one of the mixed caseB
that haB been sent to the agency at
Muskogee by the tribal secretary of
the Seminole Indian nation. It will
be decided, but the decision is not a
matter of a moment's consideration:
Long ago when Indian marriage
rites were performed under tribal
laws a Seminole man married a Sem-
inole woman who had three grown
daughters. From this marriage sev-
eral children were bron. Growing
tired of the woman the man married
her oldest daughter. Other children
were born. Then the man left the
first daughter of hiB first wife and
married the second. This union was
also fruitful. Finally the man took
as his wife the third daughter of his
first wife. They also became parents
of children. Then the last wife of
the much-married Seminole left him
and wed another Indian. Her mother
and sisters followed the example of
the youngest and likewise married
again other men. Not long ago the
man first mentioned died. The ques-
tion before the agency at Muskog.
passed up by the secretary of the
tribe—is to arrange the heirship.
And the estate is worth the trouble
it will take to fix it up.

Half a billion dollars added to crop values Is one effect of war with
Mexico with which the grain and packing interests are concerned, the
estimate being based on the effect of the Spanish war—declared April -1.
A report of the Chicago board of trade, reviewing the business year
and the effect of war. said:
"The farm price of corn, as Indicated December 1, 1898, averaged
28 7 cents a bushel against 26.3 cent* last year; that of oats 25.6 cents
against 21.2 cents last year; that of barley 41.4 cents against 37.7 last
vear- that of rye 46.3 cents against 44.7 cents last year; that of buck-
wheat 45 cenis against 42 1 cents last year; that of potatoes 41 4 cents
against 54.7 cents last year; that of hay. $6 a ton against *6.62 last year.
The officially estimated farm value of the principal crops, comprising
wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, hay and potatoes, as c omputed by tie United
State, department ot agriculture, was t,643,774,240, as against *1.606,010-
365 In 189". and *1.426.874,613 In 1896."
The financial requirements for the Spanish war were referred to thus:
"A war loan of *200,000.000 was hurriedly raised, and that from our
own citiiens. without causing the slightest economic disturbance, which
was simply wonderful. It astonished the great powers of the world and
was a splendid commentary upon our economical and Industrial resources
as well as upon American citizenship. Let it be remembered that 3 per
ccnt bonds Issued at par for this loan commanded a premium of 9 per
cent. Such a national credit has never before been written across the
pages of history. Every business enterprise was aroused by this magnlti-
cent demonstration, and commercial expectations, more or less uncertain,
grew steady and confident."
A household remedy of the 1 rench
peasantry, consisting of pure vege-
table oil and said to possess won-
derful merit in the treatment of
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles
has been introduced in this country
by George H. Mayr. who for twenty
years has been one of the leading
down-town druggists of Chicago and
who himself was cured by its use.
So quick and effective is its action
that a single dose is usually enough
to bring pronounced relief In the
most stubborn enses. and many peo-
ple who have tried It declare they
never heard of anything to produce
such remarkable results in so short
a time. It is known as Mavr's Won-
derful Stomach Remedy and can now
be had at almost any drug store. It
is now sold here by C. H. Marma-

Since the Mexican crisis has be-
come the general topic, there has
been much discussion as to the
proper pronunciation of various
Spanish words. Omar K. Benedict,
the well-known Oklahoma newspaper
man, once lived in Mexico. At the
request of thlB paper he has written
an interesting treatise on the subject
of Spanish pronunciation. It fol-
lows :
It Is practically Impossible to
print proper instructions as to the
pronunciation of Mexican words in
the English language. The Mexican
or Spanish, alphabet contains twen-
tyjflve letters. Strange as It may
seem to those who are not familiar
with Spanish, there is no w or x in
Spanish. There is what is called
an "enyea." made with a curley-
curleycue over the letter n. \Mtile
the Mexican language is almost
wholly derived from the Spanish,
there Is considerable difference in
the pronunciation of the languages

in others they are not. Pronuncia-
tion of a word depends wholly upon
the presence or absence of the ac
cented letter. The letter c in cer-
tain words is accented, which
changes its sound to the same as a
soft s.
Hfere is a rule that will invariably
apply where there are no accenetd
letters: Every syllable is distinctly
pronounced, and in all words the
accent falls on next to the last syl-
lable, unless there appears in the
word an accented letter, and in that
case the accent, or emphasis, falls
on the syllable containing the ac-
cented letter. On account of the
Cnglish newspapers not using the
accented letters, it is impossible, un-
liess one knows Spanish, to correctly
pronounce unfamiliar words.
In all cases in Mexican names the
11 (double 1) is pronounced as e. For
instance, Villa, the name of the con-
stitutionalist general, is pronounced
Vee-ah. Wherever the rr (double r)
appears, trill them, as the local tele-
phone girl does in speaking three—
thr-r-ee. .
Here is the proper pronunciation
of some of the more important Span-
ish letters: a as ah, b as bay, c
as sap, d as day, e as aa, f as effie,
g sometimes as w and other times as
h, and also as who; i as ee, j as wh,
k as kee, 1 as ellie, y same as 1.
J takes the place, in all instances,
of x. For instance. Mexico in Span-
ish or Mexican is spelled Mejico. V
has the sound of b. The word Ha-
vana in Spanish is spelled with a
b, as Habana.
Yturbide—Ee-tour-bee-day.
Huerta—Warta (soft a).
Guadalajara—Wad-ah-lah-har-ah.
Villa—Vee-ah.

A Boston man one time visited the
City of Mexico and he insisted upon
pronouncing Spanish names accord-
ing to the English way of spelling
them. A friend cautioned him that
in Spanish the j and g had the
sound of h, and pronounced Guadala-
jara for him. That evening at supper
he gave his order to the waiter for
some fricasseed hackrabbit, roast beef
au hus, harnasheed chicken hiblets.
That was all the waiter could stand
and he broke out with a guffaw that
attracted the attention of the dining
room fujl of guests. The Boston
man became incensed and turning to
the waiter, remarked: "What are
you hoshing about? Do you think
I am some hay from New Hersey?
I'll break your bloomin' haw, you
hackass. Now go on and bring my
order, along with some het black
bnva."
,n i he alwnce of the accented let-
ters in American newspapers, follow
the latter rule as near as practical
and you won't get far wrong.—Guth-
rie Leader.
