DULUTH, Minn., April 24.-C. G.
Brown, the well known newspaper re-
porter, railroad man and inventor, was
this evening serenely getting copy ON
the hook for to-morroW's issue OF the
Herald, when NJ. o. Hall, cashier of the
State bank and prominent politician
recently removed from Granite Falls.
came into the Office and asked Brown to
let him have $40 on a S40-note which
Brown had been owing for some time.
Brown refused, whereupOn ball sent
his big fist twice in succession against
Browns forehead, leaving some ugly
marks. A clinch followed, and both
fell to the floor, Brown underneath.
Hall repeated his demand, whereupon
Brown at once complied, giving him an
order on the Herald. Brown has OBJ
tanned warrant for the arrest of his
assailant. Hall states that he has been
greatly eXasparated by the way in
which Brown has treated him. The
latter was in Philadelphia trying
to get 100000 on an alleged car
truck patent. and became penniless.
He telegraphed to Hall, with whom he
had never had any dealings, and the
latter at once telegraphed him the
necessary money to get home. Since
then, Hall alleges that Brown has
avoided in every possible way the pay
ment of the money. For thirty days in
succession Hall says he has sent one of
his clerks to Brown, but the latter
would't pay. Brown promises to make
it warm for Hall by telegraphing it to
every paper OH his list.

HAPPY MASONS.
New York Brethren Celebra' e
Their Freedom From Debt.

New YORK, April 24.-ln accordance
with proclamation by Frank r. Law
renee, grand master of the Masons of
the state of New York. to-day was set
apart for a jubilee to commemorate the
obliteratiOn of the debt on the Masonic
temple in this city. This debt has been
a burden Oh the fraternity for years.
In addition to this it is pro-
posed to celebrate the founding of a
home for aged and INDECENT Masons,
their widows and orphans. AS set
forth in the proclamation of the grand
master, the jubilee services in this city
and other large cities and towns began
precisely at s o'clock this evening.
Seven hundred and seventeen lodges in
the state united in the celebration. The
great event was at the Masonic temple,
Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue,
in this city. The lodge room was
tastefully decorated with flags and
Masonic banners. On the wall
at the back of the Grand
masters chair was suspended a full
length oil portrait of Gen. Washington
draped on either side with American
flags. Underneath was the banner of
the grand ledge and before the banner
in gas jets blaZed the words freedom"
When the organ and band struck the
professional march, Grand Master
Lawrence and the other grand officers
entered and took seats in the grand
east. After prayer all present united
in singing Old Hundred. Then followed
an address by the grand master.

The Soil Is Thin and Poor---Farm-

ST. LOUIS, No., April 24.-The Re
public special from Arkansas City,
Kan., says: The Oklahoma excitement
is now confined almost wholly to
the townsite centers. AS for
the farmers. they have taken
possession of their claims and
have gone to work. The vast eX-
panse of greensward is now broken in
all directions by the plough. Men who
have ridden all over the territory since
last Monday, taking in the heart of the
country embraced between the four
points of Guthrie, Kingfisher, Okla
homa City and Fort Reno, and also the
country east of the Atchison road to the
Iowa reservation and Sac and Fox
line, and the Canadian river bot
toms, report that there is not a
single quarter section of any value
whatever that is not now hOmeSteaded.
A great many claims of no value what
ever have also been taken. Not one
half of the claims have yet been filed
at either of the land offices established
at Guthrie and Lisbon. Homesteaders
have preferred to make actual Occupa-
Iloii anu improvement tne leSt vi tue
validity of their claims. Within the
next ninety days there will be a
rush to the land Offices for filing
homestead entries if there is any gen
eral disposition to remain here. At
present there is a feeling OF deSpOnd-
ency among farmer emigrantS. Okla
homa soil is thin and poor. they say,
and plowing reveals the fact that there
is lack of essential agricultural quail
tiles. 1t is now regarded as certain that
no crop can be raised this year. Those
who can afford to remain will do so, but
the poorer classes will return to their
old homes, or find new ones in other To-
nalitinc

AN AWFUL DEATH.
Sensational Suicide of an Old
Man in Chicago.

MAN III OnlCdSO.
CHICAGO, April 24..-James Hogan,
aged 55, committed suicide in this city
last night. The old man had been
drinking hard all day. He was living
at hotel on North Clark street. Short
ly after ten O'clock he climbed to the
roof of the four-story building through
the skylight, with the avOwed intention
of committing suicide. His friends in
the hotel used every means in their
power to purSuade him to come down,
but without avail. Every time any one
would start after him. he would run to
the building and swing himself over.
There he would hang by his hands I'M
til his pursuers would retreat.
Then he would draw himself
back and walk up and down the
roof.
Finally a patrol wagon, manned by
Officers Cook and Murphy arrived. The
former crawled up through the sky
light to attract the old mans attention,
while Officer Murphy climbed the fire
escape from the outside. AS soon as
Hogan saw Officer Cook. he ran to the
edge of the building and without saying
a word, he swung himself over, holding
to the edge of the building with his
naluS. Inc crown Stood De!oW IN
breathless silence. In one brief mo-
ment the old man loosened his hold and
dropped backward. His feet struck a
sign over the third-story window
and his body turned complete somer-
sault, his head striking the pavement
with a sickening noise that could be
heard block away. The mans brains
were scattered for ten feet in every
direction. He did not move a muscle.
His head and body were mashed into a
pulp and the crowd stood back awe
stricken. The mans mangled body
was taken to the mOrgue.

NO DISTURBANCES.
The Regulars Report Season of
Profound Peace.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The follow
ing telegram was received at the war
department this afternoon: Chicago,
ILL.,, April "a. 1SS6.-To the Adjutant-
General, United States Army, Wash
ington, d. c.: The following telegram,
dated Oklahoma station yesterday, is
respectfully repeated: Reports from
Kingfisher, Guthrie and Purcell state
that everything progressed yesterday in
a quiet and orderly manner-nO seri-
Gus friction or disturbance of any kind.
AS the reports indicate. there are
from 10000 to $4,000 people in the terri
tory. Capt. Macarthur, at Guthrie, re-
ports about 5000 there, and Capt. Hall.
at Kingfisher, about the same number
there, and there are from 5000
between here and Purcell. Lieut..
Dodge, of my staff, whom l ordered to
Purcell on duty, returned last night
about 9 o'clock, and reported every
thing moving i'll satisfactory manner,
and the incoming settlers cheerful and
well disposed. This may be said to be
the condition of affairs III all sections of
the country, In my opinion, quite a
number of people have been deferred
from entering the country owing to the
exaggerated reports as to numbers COM
ing in, and the difficulties of getting
here. However, from reports from
Forts Sill, Reno and elsewhere, l am
satisfied the arrangements perfected
will prevent serious trouble of any
kind, though there may in remote sec
tionS of the country be individual cases
of strife.

ADULTERATED LARD.
Prot. Wiley Exposes the Tricks of
the Trade.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The study
of food and food adulterants has been
undertaken by the experts of the agri-
cultural department, and Part 4 of Bull
letin 13, devoted to that subject, has
just been completed by II. w. Wiley,
chemist. In his note of transmission to
the secretary. Prof. Wiley says: II
have endeavored to show the character
OF true lard, how it is made and how it
may be distinguished from it's imita-
tiOns. In the same manner the sub
stances used in adulterated lard, viz:
stearines and cotton oil, have been stud
led and their proportions described;
also the characteristics of the mixed
lards have been pointed out
and the best methods of an
alytlcal research Illustrated" In
the chapter describing the manu-
facture of lard, Prof. Wiley says: at
is safe to say that everything goes into
exceptions: First, the inteStineS proper,
which are saved for sausage caslngs;
second, the liver and lungs; third, that
part of the heart free from fat. 1t is
stated by the lard manufacturers that
the lard made from the inteStineS is
used for the manufacture of lard Oil and
soap, and does not enter the lard of com
merce." Of Stearines, he says: "The
StearineS are the more solid portion of
the animal fat remaining after the
more fluid portions have been removed
by pressure. The stearines used in the
manufacture of the compound are lard
stearine, derived from lard, and oleo-
stearine, derived from certain quality
of beef tallow. Cotton oil stearine
Is used chiefly in the manufact-
ure of butterine. The oil is some
times filtered with small per-
centage of fuller's earth to improve its
color and brightness. A fine article of
mutton talloW is also sometimes used in
lard, but the objection to the flavor is
sufficient to limit its use to small
amount. The term refined lard' has
long been used to designate lard COM
posed chiefly of cotton oil and Stearine.
The largest manufacturers of this kind
of lard have now abandoned this term
and are using the label lard COM
consumers of this article, who are likely
to be mlsled by the term refined lard.'
Celebration produced oil pure lard by
certain reagents" says Prof. Wiley,
''serveS as valuable diagnostic sign.
Sulphuric and nitric acids are the two
reagents of essential Importance. In
pure lard they give only slight color,
varying from a light pink to faint
brown. This coloration, however,
should not be relied upon wholly
in distinguishing pure and adulterated
lards. 1t has been claimed that other
substances than those mentioned have
been used in the adulteration of lard,
but this claim seems to rest on no
valid foundation. In external appear
ances, to an unskilled person. adulter-
ated lards are not appreciably different
from the pure article. An expert, how
ever, is generally able to tell by taste,
touch, odor and grain mixed lard from
a pure one. There IS usually enough
the taste and odor of genuine one.
Mixtures of fat, however. have been
made, and perhaps sold as lard, which
contained no hog grease whatever.

TWO FIREMAN KILLED.
A Fearful Cloudburst PLAYS
Havoc at Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 24.-One of the
heaviest rain and hail storm ever known
here began to fall at 80 this afternoon.
1t was a veritable cloudburst. At the
time it began to fall the members of the
fire department. were inside the Jackson
building which burned Sunday and the
walls of which are still standing. Fire
had broken out among the debris and
the men were there to put it out. The
storm burst suddenly and before they
could get out the prior street wall fell
in upon them killing fremen W. P.
Leach and Henry Howell and injuring
others. Leach's body was found in
short time, but at o'clock Howell's
had not been reached. The Ivy street
mission was blown down and COM
pletely destroyed. The fence of the
base ball park was blown down and
buildings damaged in different parts of
the city.

but this will prove au advantage rather
than otherwise, as it will be a means of
Livelihood for hundreds who are here al
most mOneyleSs, but have their teams.
The settler will derive his revenue the
first year. Work has already COM
menced at breaking the sod ,and the con-
dition at this time being favorable there
will be enough vegetables raised for
home consumption, while the horses
will have their corn fOder to carry
them through the winter.
THERE WILL BE NO FAMINE
although there will be much suffering,
and there cannot help being isolated
cases of such dire necessity that the
liberal people of Missouri and Kansas
will be called upon to render aid. The
present population will not be kept up,
for disappointment will lead many to
return North. The Panhandle people,
knowing this country, have agents at
Oklahoma and Guthrie, where they are
scattering Texas literature broadcast,
and they have something to offer. AS
yet Missouri and Kansas have done
nothing to catch the overflow. Stories
of violence and murder will go out from
here based upon slight evidence, and
hearsay will be warped into fact The
detailed report of the killing OF young
man at Guthrie, published in this morn
ing'S papers, is the blOodthirSty achieve
ment of those Eastern correspondents
who, comfortably housed in Arkansas
City, have depicted the horrors as we'll
as the romantic incidents of Oklahoma
territory. The man whose name was
given was
NOT KILLED,
a mob of infuriated citizens did not kill
the murderer. and there was no other
trouble than that existing in fevered I'M
aginations. A Times special from Ar
kansas City says that $50 men left
quietly this morning for the Cherokee
strip with the avowed purpose of squat
ting there. There is no doubt that Sc
cret organization is in existence which
numbers in its membership many prom
inent and influential men, which is
heartily in favor of colonizing in this
strip with view to hastenIng the OPEN
ing of the Cherokee lands to settlement.
The members say that if people were al
lowed to live in Oklahoma until the
presidents proclamation was issued.
they have the right to do the same thing
in the strip, and they propose to do it.
