N ORWALK, COuN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, . 1898.

PRICE T'WO Genre.—

 

 

; Statehood For Oklahoma.

The 'convention of citizens of Okla-
homa which is to be held at Purcell to-
mOrrow, September 30, in behalf of
the vigorous m0vement that has set in
for the admission of the Territory as a
State will doubtless transmit to Con-
gress some very impressive facts ”and
figures. ,

Oklahoma was organizedas a. Terri-
tory on the 22d day of April, 1889, so
that it will have had a probationary
period of about five years. At that
time its population was nearly 62,000.
At the Congressional election of’1892
there were cast over 22,000 votds, which
would indicate a considerable increase
in the number of inhabitantsf- '

It is claimed by the statehood execu-
tive committee that the settlement of
the Cherokee Strip will bring the popu-
lation up to 275,000 and the taxable
wealth of the territory to $50,000,000.
These are, of course, outside figures,
but even allowing a, reasonabledis-
count, they largely exceed the number
‘of people residing in Missouri, Kansas,
Arkansas, and even Texas at the time
of their admission, and with the pros-
pective inclusion of the Indian Terri-
tory would bring up the population to
ahhigher pointthan that of any other
territory in the Union, except Virgin—
ia, when admitted as a state.

These‘are‘ strong arguments, with
few objections in sight, and the com-
mittee is prepared to back up its posi-
tions with conclusive statistics. It
were best, perhaps, to let her in, and
with Oklahoma all the other outlying
territories, with the possible exception
of Utah. * ,,

” Bob-White.”

The Hartford Times gives the follow-
ing interesting incident of a new field
of usefulness to the farmer, occupied
by that pretty game bird, the quail.
It says :

A hitherto probably unsuspected use
of the quail (the “Bob White” Of our
Connecticut country fields) has just
been discovered in a neighboring town;
and the Times believes it to be wOrth
reporting. The family house cat, with-
out waiting for the arrival of October,

 

1‘ ‘ when .the law is off,” went quail-hunt-

ing for herself, and brought in a good
fat specimen, which was appropriated
by the family for the table. On open.
ing the bird it was found to contain
half a dozen or more potato-bugs. The
bugs had evidently just been swallowed,
for they showed no-indications of the
action of the gastric forces. The cat
, may have pounced upon the bird in the
potato field, where Bob White was do-
ing a useful work for which he never
has been credited.

If quails will eat po tato-bugs, they
are even more valuable birds than the
public has supposed. And quails were
already justly esteemed for their sweet-
ness and delicacy when served up
“broiled, on toast.” Probably there
is no better bird for the table. They
are mercilessly hunted, all over Con-
necticut, from the first of October to
some time in November; and the won;
der is that they are not exterminated—
especially in view of the trying winters
to which they are not seldom subjected.
They would be actually exterminated

but for the savingfact that they are ex-.

tremelv prolific. The male Bob White,
as in the case of gallinaceous birds
generally, is a polygamous fowl, a
feathered Brigham Young; and the fe-
males, as it happens, lay a dozen or
fifteen eggs, and rear large broods, in
spite of many natural enemies. The
quail is so closely. related. to the domes-
tic poultry of the farmer’s barn-yard,
that in confinement it is found to show
the same habits-j—feeding on the same
food, shuffling just like the hen in sand
or dust; in fact the quail, in a hard win-
ter, whsn nearly starved in the cold
and unable,to reach its natural but
precarious supply of poor winter food
because of deep snow and its occasion-
al icy covering, will sometimes visit the
farmer’s barn, and ”seek to mingle‘with
the hens in order to share their break-
fast. Nothing is so fatal tothe quail
in Connecticut (and he does not as a
irrule get much further into New Eng.
land, in any numbers) as a deep snow
' with ahard frozen “crust” for its cov-
ering. That imprisons the quails and
starves them to death. Such as do get
Out, and seek the farmer’s. barn-yardin
their desperation, should be fed, not
shot. Last winter was a bad one for
Bob White. It nearly exterminated
the Connecticut flocks. But the cheer-
ful call of the cock quail is still heard

' ., occasionally in Connecticut fields ; and

 

next week will witness the slaughter of
the flocks in all directions.

.The writer, When a lad, during an
,unusually'severe winter, had a covey
of a dozen or soof quails, apparently
the mother and her brood, coming

' every morning at the call of- the domes-

7 tie poultry and eating their fill as tame-

" ly as the other barn-yard fowls. At

 

night they hid under the barn and ap-
peared regularly at day-break with the
tame flock of chickens, but as spring
opened they disappeared and no doubt
resumed their wild life in the marshes
and fields. I

ritt, in descending a flight of stairs on

Cannon street, slipped and fell head- .

long to the cement floor. He spuck

on the right side of his head anc was 4

rendered unconscious by the fall. ,

A_ deep gash was mace in the scalp
which required four stitches to close.
Dr. Sheedy was summoned to attend to
the injured man ,and after the wound
was stitched he was taken to the hos-
pital.

Dr. J. G. Bohannan of South Nor-
walk, was called into consultation as it
was feared that Mr. Burritt’s skull was
fractured. A close examination failed
to disclose whether the skull was frac-
tured or not. At a late hour last night
he was resting easily and it was thought
that he would recover.
