DIED.-Mr. ]. o. Harris, the husband
Of Rev. A. N. Chamberlin's sister, died
in this city last Saturday, from con-
sumption. MIR. and Mrs. Harris came
here some four months ago from Tren-
ton, Missouri, in the hopes that his
health would be improved and intend
ed later in the season to go further
south IL this move proved beneficial.
The remains we're taken TO Neosho for
burial beside a son who died at that
place some years ago.
NEW SToRK.-As will be seen by an
advertisement in this issue Badgett &
Blakeney are again in business but at
a different stand. They may now be
found in the Raymond block, east
room, with an entirely new stock OF
goods, consisting OF dry goods, hats,
caps, boots, shoes, gents furnishing
goods, etc. The room and its contents
being new make a very nice appear
ance. As the boys lack neither expe-
rience nor energy there seems to be
nothing to prevent success. Drop in.
BAIL SET AT S1,OO0.-James Pryor,
alias Charles Darling, charged with
bigamy was examined by Commissioner
TUFTS at Muskogee last Friday and
bound over in the sum Of $1,000. Both
wives were present and the proof Of
guilt was conclusive. Wife.number one
created quite a sensation by rushing
up to the prisoner as she was leaving
the room, throwing her arms around
his neck and kissing him passionately.
She left the room weeping bitterly and
the prisoner sobbed like child. There
is little likelihood Of Pryor securing
bail and none of his escaping q trip to
the house Of correction at Detroit.
GAMBLING. Last sunday Baker &
Farron's comedy company came in on
the Frisco and went south that evening
for Denison. While waiting at the
Frisco hotel for the train. three mem
bers Of company engaged in game Of
dominoes at three cents a "corner,"
making nine cents in the "pot." Mar
shal knight looked on awhile and after
satisfying himself that the boys were
gambling, arrested them on the or
dinance relating thereto. A for
felt of four dollars each was put up
by the trio for their appearance Mou-
day morning and they left on the first
train, their Denison engagement being
gilmore Importance than twelve dollars.
STILL oS.-The strike on the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad continues and
there is no knowing when it will end.
The only freight train seen on that
road in ten or twelve days went north
last Friday. II was made up at Mus
kogee and on reaching Parsons was
laid away by the strikers in short or
der. II is said the intention was to
run through that town at full speed
but the strikers evidently expected
something Of this kind. Accordingly
when the train stopped for the Gulf
crossing they appeared and cut the
locomotive Off and flooded the furnace.
The superintendent then endeavored
to start an engine north, which would
have been considered a train. Pursuit
was at once given by the switch engine
and after coupling on and having an
exciting test of strength, the larger
succumbed and was quickly taken to
the round-house. Meantime the FTis-
CO which was for a few days prevented
from getting its freight out Of st. Louis
is doing q big business at every point
where il crosses its unfortunate rival.
Our Folks AT LAwRKScE.-oneo of our
citizens who has just returned from q
trip TO Lawrence reports that he paid q
visit to Haskell institute. He met oui
friends from this place and tells what
some Of them are doing. Sam Tucker
who served upwards Of years time in
this Office and was earning his Owl
living, was found firing boiler to heat
the wash-water, heating pipes, etc. Ht
was so black from coal dust it was nee
essary to look twice to see him, and Al
disgusted as he was black. Blake Gore
was up to his elbows in dough, having
been placed in the bakery. The girl
were cutting and sewing carpet rags
mending clothes and doing other needle
work Of this character. We infer from
the account given that all are not Al
well satisfied as they might be and al
to Sam we know this is so. His griev
ance is that when he worked here h'
got something for it but there he doeI
not. As we understand il Haskell in
stitute is supported out of the "Indiar
civilization fund" of the department
and is intended by congress for the un
civilized rather than the self-support
ing class. After being admitted thu
pupils are compelled to remain, unless
released by direction OF the department
authorities, and they should thereior'
consider the situation before embark
ing.
