Tho Proposed New Territory.

The Oklahoma bill agreed upon by the house committee on terri torres is nut the full and satis- factory measure for throwing the whole Indian territory open for settlementtha the pioneer element of the territory has looked for. Nominally, it embraces in the pro- posed new territory the whole In dian nation, but the eastern part is practically excluded till the In dian tribes inhabiting it shall voluntarily come under the new government and surrender their lands for settlement. The exclud ed portion is an area of about 30, ,0G0 square miles-nearly half aS,large as Missouri. Only the pu Ad strip, north of the wester H of the nation and the Cherokee strip north of the eastern part will be thrown open to settlemant at the first; and to this area will be added the Arrapahoe, Kiowa and Cheyen- nc reservations as fast as these tribes can be removed to the eastern part. The three reservations com prise a large and attractive region, and, when added to the other strips, will represent the larger portion of the nation and form respectable territory. The com mittee believe that in few years Oklahoma will mean all the Indian nation west of the 96th meridian, leaving out the reservations of the Cherokees. Greeks, Chickasaws and Seminoles, lying immediately west of Arkansas-and that, in due course of time these tribes will also come into the territory as citizens and offer their lands for sale.

 'killed'' to render them use- lDss for service. Oi course, the ksupposition is that the damage is intended to be the slightest that can be done to effect the end in view. The ways in which it is done was recently revealed to reporter of the Denver Tribune substantially as follows: The qnick- est and surest way Is to take the throttle lever away. It is easily carried off under one's coat. It will require two days work and Si5 in cash to replace it. The steam gauges are sometimes knock cd of and the water glass with it's fittings destroyed, when the engine is mo gooi" Again, the eccentric linas may be taken of the valve stems, when the engine is dead. The fayorite way, when an engine is on the road, is to put oat the fire, open the blow-of cock which you see standing out from the sida of the fire box, under the cab, and let out all the water. Then the engine must be hauled to the nearest tank and filled up before she can be again fired up. h killing engines the strikers remove such Of the parts as will require the longest tune to replace, and very likely at the same time let the water all out of the boilers.

On one occasion some Boston friends sent Daniel Webster as a present au enormous sized blow to use on his place. Webster gave out word that a certain day it would be christened. The day ar rived, and the surrounding far mers for miles came in to witness the event. A dozen teams with aristocratic occupants came from Boston. It was expected by every one that Webster would make a great speech on the occasion, re- viewing the history of farming back to the time of Cincinnatus.
 The blow was brought out, and ten yokes of splendid oxen were hitched in front. More than 200 people stood around on the tip;oe of expectation. Soon Webster made hls appearance. He had been calling spirits from the vasty deep and his gait was somewhat un- certain. Seizing the plow handles and spreading his feet he yelled out to the driver in his deep bass voice; Are you all ready, Mir. Wright?" Al ready, Mir.

A pEST.

This section of country is beginning to
be very greatly troubled with Johnson
grass. A few years ago it was introduced
through this section and for time it was
thought would supplant all other grasses
for the home pasturage. Gradually, how
ever, the sore fact came to be demon
strated that with little hold, Johnson
grass would spread all over mans field
before he had time to take precautionary
measures to check it. DIR. L. p. Stiles
showed STATESMAN reporter several roots
of the troublesome weed, to look at which
would convince any one of its hardihood
and its aggressiveness. Ploughing it up,
DR.. Stiles says, will only aggravate its
growth, and about the only way to get rid
of it is by grazing it down, and that even
does not always accomplish the desired
result

lodges and of the universe to remove from
our fraternal circle, Brother S. Newman,
who departed this life November /, 1886,
after long and painful illness, teaching
us by his patience, under severe suffering,
lesson of fortitude and resignation to
the will of Him who holds our lives in the
hollow of His hands, doing all things well,
and whose ways are past finding out; there
fore
Resolved, That in the death of Brother
Newman Lone Star Lodge No. l, A. o. U.
W., has lost consistent and upright
member, this community a man of integ
rity in all his dealings, his widow and or
phan children kind indulgent and low
ing husband and father to God we bid
them look for consolation in this their
heartfelt bereavement. He alone can heal
their sorrow.
Resolved That the foregoing preamble
and resolution be spread upon the record
of this lodge, the charter draped with
mourning thirty days, copy furnished

ON THE DEVILS TRAIL.
DIXON WILLIAMS SENSA-
TIONAL SERMON.
A PREACHER WHO TALKS TO THE
POINT.

Rev. Dixon G. Williams must certainly
believe in the sledge hammer process TO
get souls into salvation. He certainly
knows how to call brick brick and
spade spade. If he loses anything of
sprightliness by going into print, he
makes il up in his talks to his congrega-
ton, and he jumps on n newspaper man
just like he does Il poor cast away sinner
with both feet
Mr.. Williams was greeted with large
and attentive audience last evening. His
opening exercises we're brief, but spirited.
The evangelist took for his text John 8, 4,
and from that passage of scripture
preached one of the most fiery and scath-
ing sermons perhaps ever delivered in the
city. Mr.. Williams enun Grated son of
the barriers by which men are prevented
from coming to Christ Among them he
dwelt upon political life and its beset-
ments, denouncing in bitterest terms those
who are given over to this evil.
Another barrier presented was modern
social life. Here the speaker became al
most violent in denunciations of many of
the customs and practices of TO. day AS
he dwelt upon them the interest of the
congregation was intense Many seemed
shocked at the manner in which the evils
Of modern society were depicted. The
evangelist was deeply excited and in the
midst OF a most terrible appeal suddenly
and without any warning or ceremony
dismissed the audience.
What will be the result of last nights
service will be anxiously awaited.
The audiences are very attentive and
considerate, Notwithstanding the unusual
and novel manner of the evangelist
Mr.. Mulkey, who so warmly assists Mr..
Williams, is full of the spirit and fire of
the revival. He is an able worker.
An organist is one of the needs OF the,
meeting, likewise more singers.
The business mems MONDAY prayer
meeting is growing in interest and attend
ance.
Five services to-day. Let all who eau,
attend.

and threw up her hands to prevent move

erably bruised, but will recover.
