THE reform and retrenchment"
spasm which the legislature experience
ed in the early days of its session, and
during which time several salaries were
cut down, has entirely disappeared.
The employees discharged have been
quietly re-instated and salaries restored
and in several cases increased. Yester-
day the salary of the reading clerk of
the House was raised to $50 per day
(quite fair for an elocutionist) and lady
type writer added TO the pay roll at 50
per day.

Plights-Many Are Practically starv-

PURCELL, I. T., April 1s.-Boomers
south of the Canadian river are in a
desperate and deplorable condition.
Sickness and restitution are widespread
and hundreds of men, women and chill
dren are in pitiable plights. They are
scantily clothed, have scarcely enough
food to live on and are practically help
less. Many have either mortgaged or
pawned their camp outfits and personal
effects during the months of waiting,
until about all they have left is Win
chester rifle and supply of ammuni-
ton. They tenaciously cling to the
hope Of pre-empting homesteads in
Oklahoma. They have been in the
country time and time again, and have
as often been driven out. They know
every foot of the country and in many
instances have claims staked off. They
propose going back on Monday next and
take possession of their claims, even if
fighting for them is necessary. Blood
shed will surely result. United States

arrived at Guthrie with force of deph-
