OKLAHOMA OUTLINES.

Oklahoma City will bore for coal or
gas.
The most unpopular man in Oklahoma
opinions is John Wanamaker, in his posi-
ton OF postmaster general.
AS much game as is killed IN Oklahoma,
there are still some men who have to hunt
theirs in the butcher stores.
When one Oklahoma paper scoops an
other the other sends Il man out to jump
somebody's claim. 1t always proves a
good counteraction.
Dom Pedro, late of Brazil, has lost his
title and now is simply Mr.. Peter Bra
ganza If he will come to Oklahoma he
will find well arranged stock of military
titles at low figures.
The kingfisher school house is now in
course of construction and will be a
valuable acquisition to the architectural
beauties of the city as well as a laudable
institution of learning

Isn't it pretty risky business buying or
trading with an Indian without the con-
sent OF the agent?

The sentiment in favor Of Communication

people realize that many Of the settlers are
in poor condition, financially, to live on
and hold their claims until they can raise
and sell crops next year, without being
able to barrow money On their land; in
fact, it will be absolutely impossible tor
many of them TO cultivate their land with

State horticultural society met in the
Opera Grand, Paola, Tuesday morning

were little slow in answering and it
was not until today that full delegate
attendance was present.
The efficient and able chairman, Judge
L. Touk, presided, and Secretary Brack-
EFT, OF Lawrence, notes the proceedings
of the various sessions. Not much was
done the first day except preliminary
readiness for further work and in the
evening Of that day Hon. John c. Sher-
idan, in a most approved manner, deliv-
cred the address of welcome, which was
responded TO BY DR.. George Williams, of
Washington, Kan. His remarks were
full of true sentiment and merited con-
tinual applause. The association adj
journed Tuesday evening at an early
hour for the purpose of attending a lee
ture by DR.. James Hedley in neighbor-
ing hall and not much real business was
transacted until this evening. Hon.

former president Of the association, pre-
sented the society with gayel made

sets.
The wood for this gavel was cut from

Dorchester, Mass, where he resided over
fifty Of the last years of his life. Upon
this homestead Of seventeen acres he

The terrible accident to Emin Pasha,
mentioned in yesterdays dispatches,
mars the pleasurable interest excited in
SANKEY'S graphic description of his trav-
els and discoveries in central Africa
Much of the very interesting and valu-
able information belongs TO Emin's
credit, and it is too bad that so serious a
mishap should befall him and in a man
ner so ignominious in comparison with
the thrilling incidents that have attended
him day and night for the past five years.
The universal wish is that he may survive
his injuries, even if he should persist in
his refusal to leave the country and peo-
pie for whom he has formed so strong
an attachment.

One of the most interesting features of
Secretary Tracy's report is the discus
sion of the use of merchant vessels as
war cruisers and the ACCESSIBILITY of the
construction of a class of commercial
vessels readily convertible to war uses
In connection with this subject Mr.
Tracy makes one recommendation that
will be generally approved. 1t is that
the department be authorized to furnish
10 states maintaining naval militia. old
vessels to be employed as gunnery and
training schools. There is, the secretary
contends, even greater necessity Tor a
naval than fer a land militia, on account
of the special training requisite to rem
der a sea force efficient in an emergency.

The mayor of Atchison has presumed
to call upon the metropolitan police au-
thorities to account TO the city authori-
ties proper for the monies received up to

main unaccounted for to any authority:

A Diphtheria Specific.

The Chicago Times announces to the
world that pineapple juice has been
found to be a specific for diphtheria. 1t
is said that the negroes of the south have
used it for years and rarely lose case.
A couple of prominent Chicago men
have tried it in bad cases in their fami-
lies and it has cured every one. Simply
get ripe pineapple, squeeze out the
juice and let the patient swallow it. Re
peat the dose at intervals until the mem
brane is all gone. The juice is of Sc
pungent nature that it will cut out the
diphtheritic mucous. The remedy is SC
simple and easy to take that it is worth
trying anyhow.

Count Schovaloff, the Russian minis
ter at Berlin, at banquet given to
Minister Phelps, said the United States
was the only country in the world that
wanted nothing and feared nothing. In
a general way, and as applied to the
country as a whole the observation is
correct; but there are some portions of
the country that seem to want good
deal, and some people we wot of stand
IN constant mortal dread of something
that they believe is coming yet haven't
the courage to acknowledge it and act
accordingly.

man wants them refused this privilege

If Senator Ingalls, worlds fair bill. in

be taken as an indication of what con-
gress will do in the way of providing
funds for the great event, it may also be
considered as good big straw indi-
eating where it will be located. The ex-
penditure of $S,O00.OOO by the govern
ment for grounds and permanent i'm
provements, with no reference to re-
endorsement of the amount expended
from any source, is, we take it, pretty
strong circumstance i'll Washington

grounds and buildings could be used to
good advantage by the government

The consolidation of the two great

The consolidation of the two great
bodies, the Knights of Labor and the
Farmers and Laborers' union, represent
ing in the main the labor interests of the
country, into one grand alliance con-
stitutes the largest organization in the
world, embracing something like 4,000,-
900 voters. The management of the af
fairs of SO stupendous body so as to
conserve the interests of all and prevent
conflicts will require the wisest counsel.

founder upon some one of the many

AS compromise and to break the
dead lick in the Montana legislature
over the election of United States sena-
tors it is suggested that each party take
one senator. A protest from this dis
lance would do no good, but it strikes US
that such an arrangement as that would
be compromise that the Republicans
cannot afford to make. They are en-
titled to both the senators or neither. If
the former they should contend for it to
the last as matter of right; if the lat
ter, they should put an end to the con-
test by permitting those entitled to the
positions to have them. Aside from the
question of principle and right the Re-
publicans do not require one nor both
the Montana senators to maintain good
working majority In that body. The
Republican party can always afford to be
just. It is the only policy that pays in
the end,

An Ex-President on An Ex-Empero

An Ex-President on An Ex-Emperor.
II believe" said ex-President Hayes
the other day, referring to the Brazilian
revolution, 'that Dom Pedro is in heart
q republican and fully in favor of repub-
llcan institutions, and that the present
change in the political situation In his
country is not at all distasteful to him.
l well recall that at the centennial cele
bration in Philadelphia in 1876 | sat next
to the emperor of Brazil. Just before
Mr.. Eyarts began his speech | was sur
prised to see Dom Pedro draw from his
pocket well worn, we'll creased copy of
tho American declaration of independ-
ence, fac smile of the original, with the
written interlineations and corrections.
Said he, turning to me: That was
given to me by an American friend over
ten years ago, and I've had it as a con.
slant companion ever since. It's grand,
good document. Eve made it close
study While the declaration of indie
pendence was being read from the
orators stand, the Brazilian emperor
with bowed head and eyes fixed intently
on the well worn document before him,
followed the reading word for word The
or, with bowed head, still kept his eyes
on the last words of the document before
him; then looking up, eyes dimmed and
voice betraying emotion, he remarked:
a wonderful document; wonderful
document! To me, as l recall the Incl
dent, there is pathos i'll it; there is
prophecy IN it" remarked Mr.. Hayes, as
he concluded his story.

The Peril of Moruonism.

Inc Perll OF MOrmONlSm.
From the ST. Paul Globe.
The larger part of the proselytes to the
Mormon faith are from the ignorant
classes of Europe. IT they they can be
excluded from the ballot box the Gentle
element will be likely to soon overpower
the minions of the political church. The
testimony taken during the recent in
vestigation leaves no room for doubt that
treason the state has its pestiferous nest
in the bosom of that church. The fact
that polygamy is practiced by many of
It's chief lights is not the heart of peril.
This lies in the absolute dominion of the
hierarchy over its dupes. Perjury and
murder are the highest service to the
church when its power is at stake. 1t is
because the masses of the Mormons are
sincere and fanatically devoted to the
service of the church that they are dan
gerous. Were they dishonest imposters,
the system would be far less perilous.
When the fangs of the beast can be kept
out of the body polite, one of the main
elements of evil potency will be gone.
