The oiIh ials of the Wood mill of the American Sheet Steel company made no attempt to ptarl tiie plant and indi cations pointed to their remaining inac tive until the strike negotiations are de cided one way or the other. The lirst report of the day, that the American Tin I'lnte (ompaiiy was mak ing nu clfort to start the Homier plant with noii-iiiHoii nieii anil that one set of rolls was Is'iug opeiated was afterward explained as lieinc a rumor that started from the fact that the company had some men nt work repairing the plant with the expectation that the strike will he shortly settled. Yesterday was it husy day for Presl- Iciil Shaffer and the executive ollleials of th" Amalgamated association. There was n steadv stream of ittllors from early in the morning ami iiinuuierahle confert noes hearing on the proposed set tlement of the strike. President Shaffer was firm iu liis de termination not to talk on the strike un til efier the nioctiiur or until the decision had hecu reached hy the executive ciiin- tnittee concerning the propositions of the I'niloil States Slisd corporation. It was intimated, however, that there was n very strong likelihood that the committee would not nilionrn until they had met with the uiaiiiifaeturers mid formally dis cussed the settlement "f the strike, if this si Id Is- the case actual pence is possible in a short time.

What was said, however, was not divulged nnd will not he. One of the most apparent facts in the statin nf the strike yesterday wns the determination of the strikers to lose no ground iu (heir struggle while pence negotiations are lieing conducted. It wns explained that this plan wns absolutely liecessaiv in order that the position of (he Ainalirainated association should he strong when th" settlement takes place. Most of the ollicials of the Amalgamated Association expressed confidence that the ttrikc was near an end. News received from nil points where the strike is iu progress is of n reassur ing nat.ire.

The lirst inline drawn from the wheels was t lint of Stephen A. Holeomh of Paul's Ynlley, I. T., for n homestead in the Kl Reno district nnd the s mil, Leonard l.iiiub of Augusta, O. T. Those two lueii seleo( the two choice claims hi this district. The capital prize winners, however, proved to be James R. Wood of Wentlier for.l, O. T.. whose name was the first to come from the I.nwton district wheel ami Miss Mattie II. Heals of Wichita. Knn., who drew the second number in that district. They will have the priv ilege of making the first filings in the Liiwton district and will uudoiibtodly chnose the two .iiarter sections adjoin ing that town. These are considered the most valuable in the territory nnd are. it is estimated, worth from $20.IMHI to '10.IKKI each. The day was one of keen excitement, replete with Interesting scenes. It is es timated that fully lir.lKIO persons wit nessed the drawing. The immense throng was wrought up to the highest pitch. The drawing of the lirst iiumes wns followed by n inightly shoilt. Kaeh succeeding winning for n time wns met with shouts of applause and merriment. All wns pleasantry. Kvery num. though he did not draw n prize from the wheels yesterday, has steadfast faith that today or the next day will surely see him the possessor of a slip rending him n title clear to K'sl ncres of Okla homa's land. The crowds fairly exhausted them selves and when the close of the drawing for the day wns annonnee.l nt o'clock hundreds who hud neither eaten nor drunk during the day. sank to the ground where they slood for sheer fatigue or dragged themselves to better plnoos for rest or to refreshment booths up town. The day wns remarkably free from piar res and general satisfaction with the gov ernment methods of disposing of the land was felt. It has Imi-ii found thnt ninny hundred applicants hnve "repeated" and that others have applications so illegible that they will lie thrown out. Over this much discord has resulted nnd the nut coine may be nil appeal to the courts. When the second ticket was drawn Colonel Dyer cried out: "I have the pleasure to announce the name of the first woman to draw n prlr.e, Mattie II. Ileal of Wichita. Kan." Then Colonel Dyer gave her descrip tion ns 2:i years old and five feet three inches In height, just the height of Wood.

MIl.WAl'KKK, July L'7.-Ir. Walter Kelnpster or this city, formerly at the head of the not thorn hospital for tin. insane un.l an expert on insanity, agrees with Dr. Charles Denison of Denver iu his views of strengthening the human family. Dr. Kenipslor said: "While the theory of putting to death incurable people who are not only a iiiemice but n bin den to the community is startling and may he slow of realisa tion. 1 believe the time will come when it will he done by law. The process should nut ho loft lo the judgment or discretion of one man. but should he safeguarded so that there would be no possible danger. The decision should be in the hands of a board of eminent men, carefully selected. "Microcephalic children nnd infnnts ought to bo put to dentil by law. Their heads nre. so small that there is no chance for the bruin to grow. It is dif ferent with weak or sickly children, be cause they niton recover from their ill ness and develop into well and strong men and women.
