"Jail birds as a rule are not good
songsters. But there ia a marked ex
ception to this rule in the Platte county
jail. Never before in the history of
Platte county have such sweet strains
of vocal music floated through the
barred windows of the j ail. The source
of this sweet limbic is a quartette of
prisoners consisting of the two Brown
ing beys, Jorgenseti and Fout who will
be tried in district court on various
charges next week. These voices,
though brought together by chance,
harmonize like the voti n of a trained
qnartett and the county otlicers have
good excuse for being charmed from the
routine of their office work.
District court will convene next Mon
day to take up the criminal cases on the
dockets. Among the cases of more or
less general interest are the assault and
battery case of the Browning brothers;
the suit against Jorgensen for maintain
ing a house of ill fame; the rape case in
which Font is defendant; and the bur
glary suit against Harry Edwards, the
young fellow from Butte, Mon , who last
week got away with SIM worth of goods
from the Burlington depot.

II. Iloukenbergerar.d E. II. Chambers
returned iBst Thursday from thi ir trip
to Indian Territory and they are j'e
ligbted with the conditions they found
there from the investors point of view
So well pleaded were they that Mr.
Chambers will return in a few weeks io
make more extensive invest men te. Con
cerning conditions of the red mar, Mr,
Hockenberger made- the following intei
esting statement tu a Journal reporter:
"We expected to lind land prices lower.
Land sells there from $15 to $40 an
acre. We spent most ef our time at
Bartellsville where Louis Pollock lives
and at Telsa some distance south.
These towns are both situated in the
lieait of the oil country and have made
rapid growth along with the develop
ment of the oil wells. Telsa has grown
to a city of 8000 people within four years
and Bartellsville has grown as rapidly.
There are no "Oraahas" in the Terri
tory but there are more cities of from
3000 to 10.0IM). These cities have regu
lar mnnicip'il orgunizition the same at
the cities in the states and you rind in
them the same business development,
public utilities and s-anitary condition?.
But in the farming country it ia differ-
tit. The one crying need is statehood.
Under territorial g twrmuent the peo
ple cannot levy taxed to Imi'd roads
and pchoolhonses. Anil witho'it goo I
roads and good schools in the country,
thobest class of farmers will not enter
Another very serious handicap to
the country i the breaking up of
the firms into small tracts as a result
of Indian ownership. The government
has refused to permit the Indians to stil
more than 120 acres out of each H"0
acre allottmect. Therefore the onl
means by which a settler can secure a
quarter section is to buy 120 acres and
lease the other 40 acres for five years.
Some of the Indians prefer to live on
their 40 acre tracts. Of course all im
provements on the leased land remain
there at the termination of tne lease.
Naturally therefore, the improvements
are cheap and nusubstantial and they
make the country look uninviting to
people who are accustomed to see the
well improved Nebraska farms. Many
of the Indian holders are only one thirty
second part Indian, some of them occu
py high places in social and professional
life, and they want the government re
strictions removed to enable them to
sell their land. One of the leading
lawyers and one of the leading doctors
of Tulsa are one sixteenth part Indian
and they are proud of the fact. As soon
as statehood is secured and the Indian
restrictions removed, this country will
go forward with leaps and hounds
For the land will produce everything
that Nebraska land will produce with
cotton and fruit added. And with an
unlimited supply of oil and an abun
dance of natural gasjfor manufacturing
purposes, the new state promises to he
one of the wealthiest in the United
States."
The Kansas City "Journal" says of
'Dora Thorne": "If those who are re
gular attendants of the Gillis want to
enjoy a melo-drarau tin t has much that
is of true dramatic worth and giveu by
a company that bring out the produc
tion i a most interesting manner, they
will do well to see 'Dora Thorne' adapt
ed from Miss Clay's novel of the same
name. The piece has one tragic situa
tion, thy murder of "Lord Earl', which
occurs early in the play. But is for
gotten in the events that crowd one
another and go to make up one of the
best constructed. and interesting stories
that has been presented at the Gillis.
Take a melodramatic audience, especial
ly a Sunday audience, and a play that
does not contain a dozen thrills in at
least three acts, comes pretty near los
ing attention. The play is full of good
lines that strikes home, has a lot of ex
cellent business and the situations and
climaxes are well brought out. Strange
to say it did not' take any buzz saw
acts, or train robberies or even the
timely arrival of a Hawkshaw to awak
en tne demonstrations or approval
which were generously given. The cast
and production are far above the aver
age. At the North Opera house,
Wednesday December 13th.
C. J. Gorlow sued Mrs. Emma Mc
Allister for an attorney's fee of $25 in
county court Tuesday. The plaintiff
claims that he earned the fee in assist

brought several years ago by Steve
McAllister against the defendant. The
defendant declared that Mr. Garlow
'butted in" and that she never employ
ed him. Mrs. McAllister tried her own
case, The jury found for the plaintiff
and assessed the amount at 810.
