Tho War Department Takes no Oflc,al
Action Regarding the Death of Jeffer-
SON Davis
WASHINGTON, Dec. THE War
Department has not been officially in
formed of the death of Jefferson Davis
and has taken no action with respect
to it. a large oil painting of the de-
ceased hangs on the wall of
the chief clerks room, which i'm
mediately adjOins the office of
the Secretary. 1t is surrounded
by portraits of other ex-Secretaries,
including Simon Cameron, General
SchOfield and Messrs. Floyd and Con-
rad. 1t bears the inscription, 'Jeffer-
son Davis, Secretary of War 1S53-57,
Pierce's Administration" There was
no Grape about the portrait and the
flag over the building, which had al
ways been half-masted Oh the death of
an ex-Secretary, fOated in a good breeze
from it's usual place at the top of the
staff.
Secretary Proctor, seen yesterday
morning and asked what course the
department would pursue in regard to
Mr.. Davis death, said: IL see no Oc-
casiOn for any action whatever. 1t
would serve no good purpose that can
see. 1t is better to let the matter rest
in oblivion, sleep if it will, and to rel
egate it to the past, than to do any
thing that would revive memories
best forgotten"

Legislature Shat In Crowded Court
ROom-TwO Others Wounded.
MARSHALL, Tex, Dec. Twelve
months age ex-COunty Judge w. I. S.
Keller entered suit for divorce against
his wife, E. S. Keller. Judge Hazel
wood, who was district judge at the
time, entered decree giving two of
the children to each of the litigants.
On November % application was made
by the wife to Hon. j. S. BlantOn.
special judge in the case, for an order
to restore to the wife the youngest
daughter. The order was granted, and
al officer was sent to San Angelo, the
present residence of Judge Keller. for
the child, which was brought back.
With it came the father. Judge Blan-
ton was ignorant of the order of Judge
Hazelwood. Judge Blanton came
down Thursday evening, aud COM
menced yesterday morning to
investigate the matter. The
court opened at ten a. m. W. r.
Greer and I. p. Young represented
Judge Keller, and W. ii. Pope, Alex
ander Pope and James Turner repre-
scnteu the vile. Mr.. Greer oddrr>ood
the court at length on behalf of his
client. When he concluded w. II.
Pope arose and made some remarks, at
which Judge Keller took offense and
replied to Mr.. Pope in equally offensive
language that so offended Pope that he
grabbed a gold-headed cane that was
lying OH the desk in front and hurled
it at Keller, who instantly drew his pis-
tOl and commenced firing.
About this time c. r. Weatherby, a
relative and warm friend of Judge KEEL
Ter, appeared upon the scene and with
pistol in hand opened fire on Pope.
The excitement at this time can be bet
ter imagined than described. Major
James Turner fell early in the action,
but on examination his wonnd proved
to be only flesh wound of the aldo
men. W. II. Pope received ball in
the left shoulder and one through the
fleshy part of the lower right arm.
Three other bullets passed through his
clothes. His wounds, though painful.
are not considered fatal
Alexander Pope was shot through
the bowels

fled, screaming with horror at the ter
rible sight.

n Bill Agreed Upon to Organize the Tor
ritOry Of Oklahoma.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-COngressmen
Springer, Mansur, Perkins, Struble,
Peel, Baker and Allen have agreed
upon the draft of a bill for the new
Territory of Oklahoma, and it will be
introduced at the earliest day possible.
1t is very comprehensive, embracing
territorial form of government, a COM
plete judicial system for Oklahoma and
also the Indian Territory, and also new
town site laws adapted to the situation
in Oklahoma. 1t extends the land
laws to NO-Man's-Land and provides
that the new Territory shall use the
laws of Kansas until the close of the
first session of the first Legislature.
It provides for communication of home
stead entries after eighteen months
residence upon paying s1.25 per acre,
and, in fact, provides for every phase
of the anomalous condition of the peO-
pie of that Territory upon the lines and
conditions desired by them as made
known by the visiting Congressman in
September last.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 8.-Mr.
Downing, of the State Railroad Com
mission, says that single decision Of
the Commission rendered in coal case
several months ago, in which this city
was interested, saves to the city $780,
600 year. The figures were given him
by George II. Nettleton, who is one Of
the most thorough railroad ac-
countants in the country. Ac-
cOrding to the decision the
coal rate was reduced from % to So
cents per ton. Mr.. Downing claims
that the State Railroad Commissioners
have saved the people millions of dol
lars since the body was called into ex-
istence. As to the effect of Missouri
river transportation upon freight rates
he was not prepared to talk, but
thought the Importance of the enter
prise has been greatly Overrated. he
said if it saved to merchants $500, 600 a
wear it would be grand success.

SALT TARIFFS.
The Kansas Railr0ad Commissioners Adj
just the Rates.

The kansas RAilr0ad Commissioners Ad-
just the Rates.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. S.-The Rail-
road Commissioners have rendered
their decision in the matter of the COM
plant of the Board of Trade and salt
producers of Kingman of unfair dis
elimination in railroad rates on salt.
The Board, after reviewing the facts in
the case, say:
I'VE are of the opinion that the salt
tariffs to local points need revision in
the interest of all those concerned.
But this involves so many adjustments.
not only as it respects the salt interests,
but as well those that concern the car
riers, that its final consideration will be
entered upon at another time, and
further notice to parties in interest.
Upon the complaint before us we
find and decide that the rate on salt
from Kingman, Anthony and Yelling
ton should be the same to all Missouri
river points as the rate on like COM
mOdities from Hutchinson, Nickerson
and Sterling, and the board directs and
orders that such rates be made uniform
from all the points above named.
ssTho board also AnGs ti,s,t tho fuel
used in the manufacture of salt is slack
coal supplied from the coal mines of
Southeastern Kansas. The cost of this
per ton delivered at Wellington is s2.45,
and the freight rate is s1.7O; at King
man, s2.65, and the freight rate 81; at
Anthony 1915 per ton, and the freight
rate 81. and Hutchinson $40 per ton
and freight rate $3.50. We think that
in justice to so important an industry
as the salt manufacture in this State u
concession should be made On these
rates as follows:
''Rate on coal slack to Wellington
$3.50 per ton and to all the other points
of salt manufacture in the State $3.50
per ton. And believing under existing
circumstances that these rates would
be fair and reasonable the board Or
ders and directs that these rates on
coal slack, together with uniform rates
on salt to Missouri river points, be
adopted and made effective upon all
railroads operating to any of the points
named by December Is, 1882"
