Laughlin, together with Attorney Robert H. H. Hern of Saint Louis, will receive a fee of $1,000,000 as a result of a decision just rendered by the United States court of claims in Washington in the Cherokee land suits, which have been in litigation for twenty yeas, according to dispatches today. The successful outcome of the suit revealed the strange story of the currichment of Negroes, former slaves of the Cherokee Indians, as a result of this litigation, and of the rise of President Grant's former body servant to riches and his equally sudden descent again into poverty. Mr. Laughlin went at once to Washington, on learning of the outcome of the suit. It gives large tracts of land in Oklahoma and elsewhere, formerly held by the Cherokees, to the Negroes who once were their slaves. As oil has been discovered in these fields the amount of the awards runs into many millions of dollars. "In the absence of Mr. Laughlin, his son, Randolph Laughlin, told the story of these remarkable claims." "There is no truth in the dis patch that my father would receive a $1,000,000 fee, soid he. "The amount is greatly exaggerated. The litigation, however, is important and this decision means much to about 2,060 Negroes. "The beginning of the story is in General Grant's terms as president. He had an old body servant, Milton Turner, who was the son of a prince in Morocco and a Negro of great dignity and ability, who had been stolen in infancy and sold into slavery. He appointed this Negro minister to Liberia, the Negro republic in Africa. He found that the courts had decided that the freed Negro slaves of the Cherokee Indians were entitled to the same rights as the Indians, and this litigation, which my father conducted for twenty years, was to establish that the rights were not only political but material—in other words, that the freed Negro slaves of the Cherokee were entitled to their share in the Cherokee lands. The court of claims has just decided in the affirmative." Mr. Goodrich for Commissioner! Mr. H. K. Goodrich, superintendent of the city electric light plant announces himself a candidate for city commissioner to be voted upon at the primaries March 27. He is a first-class mechanic having worked as a machinist in the shops of the Santa Fe for years He built and operated the first system of water works in Topeka and left it on a good paying basis when he accepted a position with the the Dean Co., of New York for whom he traveled eight years erecting electric light and pumping stations in different parts of the country. He served the Santa Fe from 1876 to 1889. He has served the city as chief engineer at the electric light plant off and on for years—until he tired of them playing with him. The last time an attempt was made to oust him for some incompetent pet, he applied the old soldier law and the supreme court decided in his favor. M. Goodrich then took command and has been in the saddle ever since. In commenting on the matter Mr. Goodrich said that he did not like to furnish brain and experience and someone else draw the money. That he has never been compensated according to the amount of work he has done or is doing for the city, that he has saved the taxpayers several thousand dollars on the lighting proposition and has one of the best plants according to size in the country. The lights only cost the city about 44 a piece per month. About 475 lights are now in use and everything about the plant is modern. He says he can run the water works just as easily and that if the city wants a man for commissioner who has the practical experience of running the light and water plants they will elect him. Mr. Goodrich is a native of New Jersey and has lived in Topeka since '77. He served in the war of '61 and participated in some of the most important engagements. He was at Gettysburg, Antietam, The Wilderness and many others. He started with a Keutucky regiment tense to the Third Pennsylvania and served with honor. He is recognized as one of the best mechanics in the country and ask his friends to vote for him if they think he merits a promotion. He thinks it but fair to give a hard-working man a chance if he is competent to fill the position. Mr. Goodrich says he is asking the support of the voters on the strength of knowing what is actually need. He is a taxpayer and has worked hard to see what labor will accomplish if properly applied.

This oration was rendered by Miss Mary Hawkins, of Enid, Okla., before the Teachers' Association, at Bobby, Oklahoma. Chuld Study. In the school room, child study is the teacher observing the phenomena of the activities of the child's mind and interpreting correctly. This child study will have no meaning of value unless the phenomena is correctly interpreted, and this can be done only in the clear light of consciousness; and here insight is more important than outright. The teacher seems to ask time to turn back and make her a child just for the time being and her marvelous insight into child nature is then made possible by the memories of her own childhood. Child study can give best results when the teacher is a practical psychologist. The value of psychology as a guide in teaching is at present most evident in primary instructions, when the teacher is able to derive her principles from what she believes to be known of the activities and development of the soul in childhood. This child study is throwing light on the training of the young. It is doing a great service by calling needed attention to the physical defects of the child. No defective child is able to acquire, assimilate and reproduce knowledge with the same facility as a healthy one. Many of us do not feel the responsibility of the physical character of our pupils. It should be our aim that our pupils shall come forth from the primary sounder in body than when they want in as well as intellectually and morally stronger. Not only should the primary teachers be practical psychologists, in order that the results glued from child study may be correct, but they should study the environments merely, the home the church the vicinity in which the child lives all of these have an influence on the child's mind. It is very necessary that the teacher get acquainted with those facts in order that conclusions of the activities of the child's mind, may be correctly formulated and if a practical psychologist she is able to give the control of teaching and not force down into primary grades subjects that have tazed the powers of much older minds. Through chill study the teacher is able to detect physical and mental fatigue and other physiological and psychological facts in practical value. Through chill study we receive a personal and sympathetic knowledge of the pupil which assists us in gaining the chill's training. But the most important results yet attained in chill study are indirect and incidental. This includes the spirit of the primary teacher toward her pupils, and the increased mutual interest between the home and the school. In our school at Hall, Oklahoma, an order to increase the mutual interest between the home and school, we have organized a parents' club; by this, we as teachers are able to get acquainted with the parent and they with u.

It would seem wiser t wait until experts, who may be more competent to separate the wheat from the chaff, have put reliable results into usable forms. Are the teacher can call her work complete, she must have so wrought that her pupils shall act upon their environment with skill and aptitude, making a safer, better, happier world for those who are to come after them, making their environments more easily conformable to the higher ideals of those who shall take the torch from their drooping hands.

Dorsey presented to Mrs Scales on the part of the members of the Court of Calanthe, expressing their love and unlimited appreciation for the most excellent work accomplished by the Head Presider, Mrs. Scales, who was almost lost for words to express her feeling and gratitude, as this ornate and beautiful gift proved a complete surprise to her.
