blows with greater velocity, it is said, than at
any known spot in the word, and this makes
the cold unbearable. A velocity of $50 miles
an hour has been attained, while at Pike
Peak, 5000 feet higher, the greatest is 100
miles, and in New York IS miles is a heavy
gale. OF course the air has less power as the

ton the cold is so intense that il one covers

Repeatedly an advertisement appeared in the
columns Of "work wanted" setting forth that
"an ambitious little girl desires to paint

BENJAMIN GREY, blacksmith in the middle
Warren oil fields near Lancaster. Pa, was
called upon by a well shooter on Thursday to
make some repairs on the running gear of a
wagon which he used in carrying nitro glyce-
rine. Grey craWled in under the wagon. He
found bolt broken. and took his hammer TO
drive 1t out to make room for a new one. A
deafcning explosion followed the first stroke
OF the hammer. The wagon was shattered to
M. NH oh diraa
ton. Grey was knocked senseless to the
ground and so badly injured that his life is
despared of. The owner of the wagon stood
several feet away, but was thrown 10 the
gr und. One wheel of the wagon was carried
into u tree 20 feet distant. The explosion is
accounted for on the theory that a guam
tity Of nitro glycerine had leaked out of a can
at some time while being transported from
the factory and had collected on the running
gear of the wagon. The blow from the ham
mer was all that was needed to explode it.

The okIahoma Roomers

The last has not been heard OF the Okla
homa boomers. Several Of them have been
arrested on the charge OF having resisted
United States troops, and, doubtless, they
will be tried, but there is not much prob
ability that they will be severely pun
Ished if they should be convicted.
The boomers propose to attempt again
to take possession of claims in Oklahoma
IN March, and there is reason for thinking
that the number of them will be much
larger then than it was when the last at
tempt was made.
Col. Hatch, who lately removed Couch
and his followers, says that it will be al
most impossible to keep colonists out of
the territory unless it is occupied by the
troops all the time. Just as soon as the
troops are out of the way parties will
enter Oklahoma and take possession of
the lands. There are thousands of people
in Missouri. Kansas, Arkansas and Texas
who are waiting for a favorable OppOr-
tunity to move into the territory.
Public sentiment appears to be growing
in the direction Of opening Oklahoma for
settlement. and it would be wise probably
for Congress to take such steps as may be
necessary to let the country know what
the intention of the government with re-
spect 10 the Territory is. Oklahoma be-
longs TO the government, and not TO the
Indians, but the government, under eN-
listing treaties, is bound not to open It - 9s
settlement. The treatjesp!Gssttb be modified

The whole Indian Territory doubtless Will
be open to white settlers before many
years. 1t is probable that if settlers are
admitted to Oklahoma the Indians will
ask to have their lands divided so they
can sell them. Without their lands the
Indians will gradually disappear. The
boomers hope that Mr.. Cleveland VIII re-
verse Mr.. Arthur's policy, but it is ap-
parent that such a hope has nothing TO
r-re on

Tho RnnkrnntcY Bill

There is not much reason to think that
the bankruptcy bill will be passed by this
Congress. Representative Collins made a
vigorous fight for it on Monday and failed.
lie thinks there is still a chance for 1t
during the last days Of the session, but
there are very few who agree with him.
The hostile minority which prevented
him from getting the bill before the House
on Monday, will be able, doubtless, to
defeat the bill entirely.
4 bankruptcy law is earnestly desired
by merchants in all important CONNER
ciaI cities. and there is reason to think
that 1t would help to restore business
prosperity by providing business men
with a surer and swifter means OF sol
Iecting their dues. The pending bill is a
great improvement on the old bankruptcy
law. and is regarded by able lawyers
and business men as being about as neai
perfect as 1t can be made. The reasons
againsta bankruptcy law are certainly
not as strong as those for il.

There seems to be some doubt in the
minds of good many people whether
Lieut.. Greedy is the hero he is represented
to be. The statement is made that Sergt.
Brainard has written communication to
member Of the Congressional Committee
on Appropriations, charging Greedy with
cOwardice, and alleging that the ordering
of the shooting of Private Henry by Greedy
was an inhuman act. The receipt OF this
letter is said to be the cause of the failure
to provide for an Assistant Chief Signal
officer, for which position Greedy had
been designated. If there is any question
about Greely's herOism it ought to be set
tied. He should not unjustly rest under
a cloud, or be allowed TO receive honors if
he is not entitled to them.
