The Wichita | o ation §s bounded north by the South Canadian River, east by Indian Territory, south by the Washita River and on the west the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indian lands w marked as Custer and Washita counties, | and east to West $1 Taiice. Ome who has investigated the lands says: It is not a farming country, but a_cattle country. Rainfall is very infrequent. The In- dians are taking the choicest claims along the streams. There are already five white men for every good claim. Farming does not pay at all. Fruit raising has not been successful. Any one who is a citizen of the United | States or filed a declaration to become a citi- zen, male or female, or a deserted wife or widow, can file a claim on a quarter section of land provided that they have not made a | previous entry under the United States law or | commuted their entry to cash payment or is ready the owner of 160 acres. Ex-soldiers their widows or minor children can enter ¢ filing in person or by agent and have six onths in which to commence settlement. There are numerous swindlers as agents.

AN FRANCISCO has grown accustomed to the launching of warships. Here many good ones have glided from the ways to the waves, and among them the Oregon, the best one ever built up to her time. - « A 1aodern warship is a very complicated machine. Its development was mainly theoretical. It is true that the fight between the Monitor and Merrimac in Hampton Roads pbsoleted every ex- isting navy in the woild by proving the feasibility of the turret and armor. But when the old navies were obsoleted and the turret gun arid armor plate idea had to be applied in naval architecture, complication piled on compluanou in the adaptation of the skin of the ship and its viscera to the mechanical methods that became necessary. And, after all, it was not certain that all this machin- ery 'would work in action. The Japanese made a partial demonstration in their war with China, but the complete experiment and proof were left to the American navy in our Spanish war. In Manila Bay and at Santiago it was proved that the ideas that had ongmated in American ships, on Amer- ican waters, in our American civil war, were to dominate the navies of thF world. The intricate ma- chine was proven workable and in action its complicated mechanism was as simple as a sewing machine. The use of steam, hydraulic¢ power, compressed air and electricity in its operation proved to be as easy as handling an oar in 4 rowboat on a summer sea. The Ohio is the first great warship launched since that demonstration was made. She belongs to the State line of ships. Great folds of armor plate are imposed to protect her vitals and her mechanism will reflect every suggestion gained from the experience of the Olympia, Oregon, Towa, Texas and other ships in the Spanish war. It is expected that she will lead the line and be the best ship in the navy. San Francisco is fortunate and happy in being the seat of a shipbuilding industry that can build such craft. We have had the Governors and worthies of other States here at launchings of warships. Oregon and Wis- consin have sent their official representatives on such occasions, and they have been right wel- come. But we are singularly fortunate in the case of the Ohio in having her flight waterward such an attractive event that it drew hither not only the able Governor of Ohio and his staff and the Congressmen from that State, but also the President of the United States and a majority of hls ,Cabinet. In other days it seemed a matter of course that the President and the Secretary of the Navy should run down from Washington to Philadelphia, to Roach’s or Cramps’, to see a warship launched. But now it is made just as convenient and more interesting for them to run out to ihis city, seeing the widest land on their way, to see the widest water in the world, and to see launched the best ships that float. The Ohio took her baptism under the official eye of the State she represents and that of the nation she is to serve. ; As she touched the water steam whistles, cannon and brass bands combined in making a vol- ume of glad noise that was never excelled. Long may she float, and.if need be fight, with the zest for battle in a good cause that has distinguished the sons of the State that godmothers her and gives her a name. DRUG USING IN NEW ENGLAND, F all the stories that have recently come from New England showing a change for the worse among the people of that good old Puritan stock none is more curious or startling than a report just made public concerning the growing use of drugs in Vermont. The people of’ that State have been believed to lead healthy and wholesome lives, and yet it now appears they are addicted to vices which are supposed to be peculiar to decadent races. The information on the subject comes on the authority of Dr. A. P. Grinnell, who is described by the Boston Globe as “a reputable medical man,” and is contained in a report made by him to the Vermont Medical Society. The doctor made a canvass of the stores of the State at which drugs are sold for the purpose of determining the extent of their use among the people. From a good many localities he was aot able to get definite information, but in sixty-nine towns from which statements were obtained it was found that the monthly sale of gunropium was 47 pounds 12 ounces, of morphine powder 19 pounds 15 ounces, of morphine pills 3338 grains, of dovers powders 25 pounds, of paregoric 32 gallons and 1 quart, of laudanum 32 gallons and 1 quart, of cocaine 27 ounces, 1 dram and 30 grains, of choral 32 pounds 4 ounces, off dian hemp 37 ounces, of quinine powders 15 pounds 10 ounces, of quinine pills 74,200. : It is added that in his report the doctor stated that these figures should be multiplied by five to get the actual amount of drugs sold in Vermont monthly, for he had not included drugs sold from wholesale stores nor those used by practicing physxc:ans for their medicines, nor those used by manufacturers of medicines. Of the consumption of opium he says: “In the regular drugstores and in 160 of the 172 gen- eral stores in the State of Vermont there are sold every month 3,300,000 doses of opium, besides what is dispensed in ‘patent medicines and besides what the doctors dispense, which gives one and one-half doses of opium to every man and woman in the State above the age of 21 years every day of the year. By dose I mean one grain opium, one-eighth grain morphine, one-half ounce paregoric and twenty drops of laudanum. The amount consumed each month means a half-dose for every man, woman and child in the State every day in the year.” The trouble with New Englanders seems to be that they have reached the stage of civilization where they can no longer live satisfactorily on tea and beans. They feel the need of somethmg for their “stomach’s sake,” and having forsworn whisky have taken to opium and paregoric. What they should do is to cultivate the habit of drinking California wine with dinner, and it would se that the sooner the doctors of New England begin to recommend the practice to their patients the better. We have problems enough in this country without having another forced upon us by the d’eve]opment of an opium mania among a considerable portion of the population. DYNAMITE JOURNALISM. T is to be regretted that the President’s visit could not be permitted to pass without the Exam- iner using it to do something that injures San Francisco. . That sheet seized upon an item two weeks old and which had been published in a Chinese newspaper, touching the keeping of a small quantity of dynamite in a Chinese fisherman’s quarters, as the suggestion of a false, faked and injurious sensation. It worked this up to the effect that the President’s programme included a visit to Chinatown and attendance at the Chinese theater, and illustrated the falsehood with a diagram showing where the President was to have sat, with the dynamite right under the spot. Out of this sophisticated situation a story of intended assassination is evolved which is harmful to San Francisco, an outrage upon the Chinese and a disgrace to jour- ‘nalism. The tour of Chinatown Jas not on the President’s programme, nor was a visit to the Chinese theater. Had he gone to Chinatown he would have been as welcome and as safe as any- where in the United States. The visiting members of Congress did go to Chinatown and the thea- ter, and, of coursé, were treated with considerate hospitality. The Examiner’s sensation is a blow at San Francisco. Tt misrepresents our people, adds to existing misconceptions of us abroad and uses the occasion of the President’s visit, when the eyes of the world are upon us, to make us appear in a disgraceful and disreputable light. Such work is wantonness, not journalism, and should be rebuked effectually by such people as know the relation between the reputation and good name of this- city and the prosperity of its people.: The Chinese are not anarchists. Their feuds are among themselves. The}let the white peo- ple alone. The ruling class among them, as well as the mass of them, profoundly respect the Presi- dent, and would resent any attack upon him, or anything to make his sojourn unpleasant. ]acksonville has caught her breath that was taken away by the suddenness of the big fire, and is now announcing to the country that by November she will have her tourist hotels open for win- ter visitors and will show them a new city much more beautiful than the qld New Yorkers are figuring that by the middle of the century their city will be the largest in the world, but they seem to have overlooked the fact that before that time Chicago may have suc- ceeded in annexing the rest of Illinois. ; SR e Ever since the slump in Wall street there has been an increasing clamor for the supp’rssioix of stock gambling, so it appears there were a good many more lambs shorn in the processthanshowed up on the first count. GOSSIP ABOUT THE SWELL SET AND OF THOSE WHO WOULD BE IN CIRCLE OF THE SELECT BY SALLY SHARP. HE ladles who had charge of the big reception which was planned in honor of Mrs. McKinley and the ladles of the Presidential party nobly and unselfishly turned their thoughts to the poor and suffering, in- stead of thinking over their own dis- account of Mrs. McKinley’s illness the re- ception had to be abandoned. The re- freshments prepared for the afternoon were divided and sent to the Ladies’ Pro- tective and Relief Soclety, the Protestant | Orphan Asylum, the Catholic Orphan Asylum, the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, Children’s Hospital, City and County Hospital and the Salvation Army. There were sandwiches and salads, ice cream and cake prepared for 2000 guests. tunates who enjoyed the unexpected feast that did not offer up a silent prayer for the gentle, suffering lady of the White House. Mrs. Charles Alexander, who, as Miss Hattle Crocker, beloved and only daughter of the late Charles Crocker, was the reign- ing belle here some twenty years ago, is coming to this coast from her New York home to spend the summer. Mrs, Alex- ander will be accompanied by her family. ‘Within the last five years Mrs. Alexan- der has twice spent the summer with us. this one will be, at Del Monte. Early the other ‘day some of the girls were laughing over the mishap that spoiled part of Mrs. Alexander’s stay and which provoked the wrath of a brilliant social leader who has since went the way of ail that is mortal. In this little story a wheelbarrow, two Jolly girls, a shoe and one of the Martin boys figured prominently. It appears the girls, daughters of the fashionable ma- tron, had some sort of a wager with Peter Martin. They won, and he had to wheel them through the halls. They chose the night for their corridor ride. Just as they were being wheeled through the hall in which the lexanders were located “horsie” incurred the displeasure of one of the happy girls, and she caught up a PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. W. 8.
