BY annexinR Hyde Park. Lake View
and ether suburban towns Chicago
will add 70.o0o TO her population. IL
II said by Jealous Western rivals that
the aim OF Chicago Is to attain the
rank s6 the second city In the Union
in lSqD. and then to move on 10 take
the first position by the dawn of the
twentieth century. This Is by no
means IN unworthy or unnatural
metropolitan pride. But with cities,
~ with other communities, the char
actcr Of the inhabitants is OF much
more importance than mere numbers.
The Chicsguans. however. have shown
no squeamishness in Kidding them
selves Of dangerous and criminal ele-
ments Of their city's population.
While Chicago has nothing 70 lose by
this annexation movement, the towns
that are taken In may gain much By
IL. They viii b relieved Of yexafiOns
and extrav4gant little municipal eoy-
ernments aping the expenditures Of
great cities. Their inhabitants will
take just pride in becoming citizens Of
the great metropolis Of the West. and
city pride hiss accomplished CREST
things in this world. Philadelphia
has had experience 81 the vexsfi0n,
confusion, ard cost Of d variety Of
municipal governments, and. there
fore. may heartily congratulate
Chicago on its annexation movement

Surveyors Busy.

GUTHRIE, l. r., May 3.-The surveyors
engaged in laying out anew the Guthrie
town site have succeeded in locating the ex
terror corners of the business quarter, and
Mayor Dyer at once issued an order to all
property owners to make their lots conform
to the lines laid down.
The official survey will not be completed
before Saturday and in the meantime the
representative men of Guthrie will do their
utmost to make the crisis of short duration
when it does come The past few days have
wrought many changes in both Guthrie and
Oklahoma City.
At least fifty buildings have been erected
In each place all of them wooden, with the
traditional square front. Two banks are
doing business in Guthrie and a third will
be in operation this week. Supplies are
being hauled in bv the railroads, and board
and lodgings may now be secured for
reasonable sum.
The buildings are erected SO that they may
be easily moved, and upon the conclusion of
the survey a general shifting of locations
may be looked for. In three or four weeks
both towns will have reached point when
predictions as to their future can be made
with greater certainty.
The work of settling claims is proceeding
rapidly, but there are few indications that
settlers will do much toward improving
lands this year.
Between Guthrie and Kingfsher there are
not more than dozen claims on which
blowing has been begun The fact is the
season is too far advanced to promise any
decent reward for labor this spring, and
many of the settlers have gone to Guthrie.
Oklahoma City or Kingfisher, where there is
a demand for men and teams in hauling
freight.
Oklahoma City has settled its differences
arising from claim jumping, and the people
there profess to view the general situation
with great satisfaction.

Bessemer.-The safe at the Bessemer
postoffice was opened last evening about
s o'clock and relieved of something over
500 in postage stamps. There was a
very small amount of money in the safe,
and it was in separate drawer from that
OF the stamps, and it is supposed that
the burglar was interrupted. But it was
certainly one of the most daring pieces
OF work that has ever been known to be
accomplished. Mr. Perry, the assistant
postmaster, said they could not have
struck time when there was less money
in the SAFE Mr.. Perry has always used
extra precaution about leaving much
money in the safe over night because he
has looked for something of the kind
Yesterday evening he had just made up
the mail, sent off two or three registered
letters in it, closed the safe, locking the
inside drawers, but did not turn the COM
bination. as he expected to be out only a
few minutes. He came out of the first
door, which Inclosed the mail Depart
ment, and locked it, but left the outside
door open, as he always does until
o'clock, that those having boxes may get
their mail.
During the short time he was out some
bold thief unlocked the door, went to
the safe, opened it, using some kind Of
tool in getting into the inside of the safe,
scattered books, papers. and rifed the
drawer which contained the stamps and
went out the back door; knocking plank
of the back fence and departing unno-
ticsd. Persons were constantl, passing
in and out after their mail but the burgS
lar would have been supposed to be the
postmaster. Mr.. Berry had just cashed
a $500 money order for the Bessemer
land and improvement company that
day.

GREAT SCHEME.
How Buffalo Bill Gets Free Advertising

How Buffalo Bill Gets Free Advertising
in the Paris Papers.
PARIS, May 3-Of all the excitement to
which the Partisan world is looking forward
in connection with the exposition, one of the
greatest is Buffalo BilPs Wild West show.
Bill has shown good deal of ingenuity in
his advertisements.
He has stuffed the French papers with
stories of the corporation of New York
capitalists" by which the show has been or
ganized and conducted The show itself is
said to be under the government of the
United States. Red Shirt and Rocktry
Bear (which perhaps means Rocky Bear are
described as renowned chiefs of tie red race
in America and ineal descendants of the
heroes of the Last of the Mohicans"
All this advertisement and more of the
same sort the Paris papers published gratuit-
ously to Bills entire present satisfacti on
and probably his large future profit One
way and another he has induced the Parisa d
authorities and the municipality of Neuilly
to grant him an excellent place for his show
close by tn, Maillot gate, and all Paris is
agog to see the photographic spectacle
which Col. Cody is to present before them.

Wise Words.

The following extracts from the
Grafton of Hon. Fred Douglass before
the Bethel Literary in Washington
on the occasion Of the celebration of
the 9th anniversary ofthe emancip-
alton of slaves in the District of Col
umbia, will beread with interest;
81 deny and utterly scout the idea
that there is now, properly speaking,
any such thing as negro problem
now before the American people. 1t
is not the negro, educated or litter
ate, intelligent or ignorant who is on
trial or whose qualities are giving
trouble to the nation. The real
problem lies in the other direction.
1t is not so much what the negro is.
what he has been, or what he may be
that constitutes the problem. Here,
as elsewhere, the lesser is included in
he greater. The negro's significance
il dwarfed by factor vastly larger
than himself. The real question, the
all-commanding question. is whether
American justice, American liberty,
American civilization, American law,
and American Christianity can be
made to include and protect alike and
forever all American citizens i'll the
rights which. in generous moment
in the nations life, have been guar
anteed to them by the organic and
fundamental law Of the land. 1t is
whether this great nation shall con-
quer its prejudlces, rise to the digni-
ty Of it. professions, and proceed in
the sublime course Of truth and liber-
ty marked out for itself since the late
war, or swing back to its ancient
moorings of slavery and barbarism.
The negro is of inferior activity and
power i'll the solution of this problem.
He is the clay, the nation is the pot
ter. He is the subject, the nation is
the sovereign. 1t is not what he shall
be and do, which is
TO SOLVE THIS GREAT NATIONAL
PROBLEM.
Speaking for him, can commend
him upon every ground. He is loyal
and patriotic; service Is the badge Of
all his tribe. He has proved it before
and viii prove it again. The country
has never called upon him in vain.
What he has been in the past in this
respect that he will be in the future.
All he asks now, all he has ever

DR.. Samuel F. Smith rendered a Recep-
ton at the Sherman House, Chicago.
CHICAGO, May g. ~ The venerable DR.
Samuel F. Smith, author of America was
rendered reception Wednesday evening by
the Nineteenth Illinois Veteran association
at the Sherman house. During the battle of
Missionary Ridge three color bearers of this
regiment were shot down in succession. AS
the last one fell Capt. D. F. Bremner seized
the colors, and pressing forward planted
them on the rebel breastworks that crowned
the ridge. This incident DIR. Smith immor-
talized in poem, containing these lines:
The men who bore its flag may die,
But Bremner waves the fold on high"
For this pleasant reference to it and to
honor itself the regimental association
elected DR.. Smith an honorary member.
