 Extracts from the first number of the Kingfsher (Oklahoma) Boomer of April 27, 1889:
 isRafe Thimblerigger paid us a pleasant visit yesterday and told us that he had just won a fine quarter section at shooting match with tenderfoot. He paid the fune- ral expenses himself. Rafe is @ gentleman"
 "We learn that the seven new towns start- ed west of this place overlap one another very seriously. One man from Illinois lives in three of the towns and is running for mayor of all of them"
 Coroner Goosefelter is so far behind in his work that he requests us to inform his patrons that he is doing the best he can. His friends will oblige him by not making efforts to increase his business at this time. " ''Jim Triggers called on us yesterday and traded us a niekel-plated derringer for a years subscription to the Boomer. He got the derringer from man who died suddenly 1 after calling Jim horse thief. Come again, .yim"
 'sThere will be faro game and Sunday 1 school running in this town tomorrow. All are invited" "The new cemetery south of town is meet l ing with general favor" sfIf any reader of the Boomer sees any thing that he doesn't like in this paper we will gladly take it back in our next issue"

Entered Into Reat.


 At Atlanta university, Georgia, Sunday, March 24th, Arthur Leon Shumway, aged twenty nine years
 In 1887, 8 boy of seventeen, Arthur brought to Euclid avenue Congregational church at Cleveland, his letter from Madison, O. Severe illness interrupted his course at Oberlin, and at the close of junior year, he became a member of the local staff of the Cleveland Herald. Between September 1888 and November 1884, he made a "Round the World" tour, achieving brilliant reputation by his correspondences with the leading newspapers of the entire country. A second tour. comprising the Southern States, Gen. tral and South America, was cut short at Havana, by an almost fatal attack of pneu- monia. From August, 1885, to July 1887, was spent in newspaper work in Cleveland, :, where he made many friends and left last ing memorial in the reading room he estab- tablished. Six months were spent with the Akron Beacon. In January of last year, his health again failing, he went to Atlanta uni versity. At once he began to build a won- derful influence. His heart, glowing with the one absorbing desire to win souls for Christ, could not rest save, as he had others into his own joy. In the midst of marvellous usefulness teacher, missionary, friend, his fwhole heart and soul in his work" came his summons "home." Sweet beyond work is his saintly memory; decked with stars his glorious crown.

WHERE A CHANGE IS NEEDED.

WHERE A CHANGE IS NEEDED. One of the most conspicuous and annoying defects of the administration of postal affairs in President Cleveland's term was in the rail.
 road mail service in New England. That de-
 feet has not yet been corrected, though it
 will be as soon as the new administration can
 get to work. Since March 1st, 1,756 sacks
 of mail matter have been dumped on the
 Boston postof6ee unworked by the mail clerks
 whose duty it was to assort them.
 In the month of October, 1888, the month
 preceding the presidential election, at time
 when removals or appointments could have
 no effect upon the result of the election, the greatest percentage of removals was made of any month for four years. Whole lines were stripped of their experienced men, and the
 creatures of politicians were put in their
 places. It was no uncommon sight at that
 time to see publishers of Boston newspapers
 come into the postoffce in the morning,
 their hands filled with telegrams from news
 agents who had not received their papers
 and uttering the strongest protests against
 the continuance of so inefficient a service. A
 postofice official says: 'The difficulty was
 that the new men placed on the postal cars
 were unable to handle the matter, and they
 would pass towns with the papers for them
 still in the sacks untouched, just as they had
 been taken out of the Boston postefice. The
 clamor grew so loud for betterment of the service that the department sent a special man from Washington to examine it's necessi- ties. Charlie Moore, an old and efficient clerk, who had been in the service for eigh. teen years, was at that time @ head clerk, having charge of the Troy line among others, and for his temerity in protesting against the removal of all the men except two or three on that line, his removal was recommended by the young man from Washington. He was removed forthwith, and his experience demonstrated that no man could tell the truth about the service and remain in it. That was the end of criticism and romon- strance. The good men in the service lost heart, and no interest was felt for its better ment until Harrison was inaugurated. MT. Moore has just been reappointed to position as good as that from which he was removed. Mir. Wannamaker and his assistants have an opportunity to do good thing for the people and make good reputation for them- selves. We have no doubt that they will do both

Three years ago there were twenty-one
 mills making oatmeal. They agreed among themselves to limit the production and fix the price, and five mills were hired to lie
 idle, their owners receiving several thousand dollars each. The business of not making oatmeal became 80 profitable that other per- sons engaged in it until the number of mills was increased to thirty five, and each of the new ones was in turn hired by the trust to stop grinding. At length the load became too heavy for the trust, and the bargain with the idle mills was rescinded, but an offer was made to renew it at a lower rate. This was refused, and all the mills will soon be grind ing again, leaving the price to be fixed by competition.
 Here is some valuable testimony as to the working of prohibition in Kansas: The year 1881 was the last of the license system in that State, the prohibition law having gone into effect in 1889. Mir.

 Eugenia Washington will not be present at the Washington Centennial celebration in New York This is the reason: Miss Wash ington is in the First Assistant Postmaster Generals office. and is too poor to grace so cial events in New York, but not too de- pressed to be keenly alive to the honor of her great kinsman, whose name she bears with dignity and self-respecting pride. It is said she more ol osely resembles the s'im- mortal patriot' than any of the race from which she springs. sheis the great-grand- daughter of Samuel Washington, full brother of George. Her grandfather, George Stephen
 Washington, was raised and educated by
 General Washington, and was one of the five neph ews named by Washington as sxe- cutors of his will, to each of whom he willed one of his swords. Miss Washington is a daughter of the Hon. William Temple Wash ington, and a great niece of Mrs. Madison. "After the war" self-reliance was her only estate, and she entered the government tread mill. General Grant felt it not only duty, but pleasure, to give her position in the Postof6ce department, where she has quietly remained for years. Her only wish is to remain undisturbed in her position, and let those who are financially able do her kins- man honor.

Dynamite Behind the Times.

4 German artillery lieutenant on leave
of absence Is at present with friends in
West Fourteenth St, and during a recent
conversation he made q statement in the
heat OF argument which Will undoubtedly
be surprising to Americans. The topic
under discussion was the new dynamite
cruiser NeSuviuS, a vessel which the
German soldier thought 7T@-ld prove use
less as far IS its pneumatic dynamite
guns were concerned He generaIized
bv saving that Zalinski's invention never
would amount to anything, because it
was " behind the times" Such remarks,
Of course, called out 4 storm OF opposition
from the Americans present, and, in
order to maintain his position, the lieu
tenant finally thought it necessary to
explain. " Well, said he, the pneu-
matte dynamite gun has no future, be
cause dynamite shells can now be fred
from ordinary tield-pieCes. And let me
tell YOU that the German field artillery
even now carry shells loaded with
'ruborite, an explosive five times more
powerful than dynamite, and that the
navy Is also being supplied with them.
ILmyseli have fired rubOrite shells from
my own battery. The invention making
this possible also removes all danger OF
accidental explosions The truth OF
the lieutenants statement seems to be
supported by the recent cable dispatch
announcing that negotiations are pend
ing between the Gar and al American
