April S.-Sunday afternoon MT. Bramhall died after short illness, at the age of 67 years. He was one of the best known Eng fish residents of the town and has been em- ployed in the cutlery for many years.
 The borough petition is expected to come up for 8 hearing on Wednesday. The only opposition comes from the fourth district, a quarter which has become famous as an "objeetor" to central improvements. It is beyond question that the present system of town government is entirely inadequate to the needs of ths place. This is proven in the High school case, the grounds of which property are now being attended to properly, but it has actually taken ten years to get the consent of the town to have this work done, the cost of which will be only few dollars. There are yet other localities about the village which are an acknowledged disgrace, but they remain the same year in and year out, simply because of lack of authority on the part of officials. The funny part of it is that the lustiest howls for abatement of these nui- sances come from opponents of the borough petition.

THERE is at least one man connected
with the administration who knows
what is appropriate and fitting, and that
is First Assistant Postmaster-General
Clarkson. His views may not suit Dem
ocrats nor that select body of cranks
known as Mugwumps, but the vast ma
iority of sensible people know Mr..
Clarkson is doing the proper caper. He
appointed about l75 fourth-class post
masters yesterday. OF this number
about rs per cent. were made to I'LL va
cancIes caused by death or resignation.
Practically no changes are being made
in fourth-cIass offices except upon sus-
tanned charges against the postmasters,
or 10 improve the locations of the offices,
or where the postmasters have held Of
fee about four years. In these cases,
Gen. Clarkson says, changes will con-
tinue TO be made upon the recommen-
dation of members of congress, or other
competent persons, in whose districts
the offices are located. He said that as
the term of Office under government as
well as in state and county Offices is gen.
orally four years, he saw no good reason
for making an exception to this rule in
favor of fourth-class postmasters. He
thought the service would be improved
by making change as often as once in
four years. petition was received
day or two since from citizens of a town
in Indiana, who protested against allow
ing the postoffice to longer remain in a
livery stable.

A THEATRICAL agent in New York CITY
has hit upon a novel advertising scheme
that is panning out well. Fors some time
there had been an agitation TO secure
the cleaning of the various bronze
statues in the parks before the centen-
NAL celebration. The city departments
failed to ''catch on" to the suggestions
or else didn't want to bother with it, and
the theatrical man aforesaid decided to
secure his star a little needed advertis-
ing through the negligence Of the an-
thorities. He employed men to do the
cleaning at his own expense and they
went at it. Though they were soon ar
rested on the charge of interfering with
public property the enterprising man
ager got his "ad." and will probably call
it cheap even if he has to pay the fines.

.DISCGSTED BOOMERS.
The Rush to Get Out Of Okla
hOma Becoming as Great as
II Was 10 Get I'm.
Trains Leaving Guthrie Packed to
the Roof-Food Is Scarce and
Water Scarcer.
Many Boomers Who Had Claims Staked
Out Abandon Them rs Undesirable
Gen. Merritt's Report.

GUTHRIE, Ok, via Arkansas City,
April 25.-Guthrie has made but little
advancement since Monday. Thus far
the land office is the only completed
building in the city. The Commercial
National bank has fifty carpenters at
work putting up light prairie struct-
ure opposite the railroad, and the foun-
dations for row of houses on the west
side of the railroad track have been
laid. This is the full extent of one days
improvement. The population is falling
off materially. Every train that leaves
for the n orth or South is packed with
men who, having grown weary of fight
ing for bare existence, are headed for
their homes. Nobody but o man who
has plenty of money can live here.
Food is scarce and water is scarcer. For
little while last night it looked as If
the new city would go down as fast as
it went up. Just after dark great black
clouds began to drive across the sky
from the southeast, and in short time
rain was pouring in torrents. Gusts OF
wind swept through the tents on the
hillsides and threatened to carry them
!
all away.
The good order that has been preserved
thus far, considering that disputes about
lots are constantly arising, is singularly
marvellous. Not man has been shot,
and in only two instances were revol'
vers drawn by men who intended to use
them. All efforts to organize munich
pal government in Guthrie have failed.
Five meetings were held Tuesday and
as many more Wednesday to form a
temporary organization, but not even
this much could be done. The trouble
is that every candidate for mayor has a
personal following that is bound by oath
to support him through thick and thin.
The city of West Guthrie, which il
springing up on the level plain back OF
the military camp has been organized by
band of Chicago colonists who will
hold municipal election in few days.

THE railroad commissioners were an
nounced to hold meeting ut st. Paul
yesterday, which was the occasion for
rumors' that some Wholesale changes in
the personnel of the grain inspection de-
partment would be made. The friends
of Hon. J. j. Randall, of Winona, were
positive that he would be appointed to
succeed Chief Inspector james. The
meeting, however, did not take place
yesterday, being postponed until to-day
The Dispatch gossips over the matter as
follows:
A number of candidates are on the
ground, and some changes are expected
1t is believed that in making these new
appointments the commissioners are ful'
filling the desires of the governor. Com
missioner Becker said to-day: II de-
sire to make no changes until this year
crop is disposed of. l have said this
before. | know of no changes"
Commissioner Gibbs admitted that the
commissioners would consider and set
tie this question tomorrow morning. II
is thought that the governor desires Il
have the matter settled before he leaves
for the East.

would not substantiate. Many othel

ernor that he should remain on thu

ASSISTANT SECRETARY BUssEY Is not
mincing words or losing time in righting
the wrongs inflicted upon deserving
veterans by the vetoes and unnghteous
decisions of ex-President Cleveland's
commissioner of pensions. Yesterday
he granted a motion for reconsideration
OF the application of Emanuel p. Steed,
late Company F first Virginia cavalry for
restoration to the pension rolls. The
claimant received his disability, the as
sistant secretary finds. by the falling of
his horse while in action. His name
was subsequently dropped from the rolls
upon information of a person, since
shown to have been his personal enemy,
who gave evidence tending to show that
the disability existed prior to enlistment.

charge, shows that the injury, for which

luxurious of Pullman sleepers accom-
pany all night trains on this line, and
the elegance and comfort of their fittings
never fails TO secure sound sleep. But
even IN such cosy quarters slumber may
be disturbed by rough track, frequent
stops, and the irregular speed resulting
from heavy grades. The smooth track.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The follow
ing dispatch has just been received at
the adjutant generals Office from Maj.
Gen. Crook:
nThe following telegram dated Okla
homa Station yesterday is respectfully
repeated:
nReports from Kingfisher, Guthrie
and Purcell state that everything pro-
gressed yesterday in quiet and orderly
manner as no serious friction or disturb
ance of any kind occurred as the reparts
indicate; that there are from 10000 to
$4,000 people in the territory. Capt. Nc
Arthur at Guthrie reports about 5000
there, and Capt. Hall at Kingfisher
about the same number there, and there
are from 5000 to 1000 in this vicinity
and Purcell. Lieut.. Dodge, of my
staff, whom / ordered to Purcell
on duty returned about OPP. m. and re-
ported everything moving in a satisfac-
tory manner and the incoming settlers
cheerful and well disposed. This may
be said to be the condition of affairs in
all sections of the country. In my opin-
ion quite number of people have been
deferred from entering the country
owing to the exaggerated reports as to
the numbers coming in and the difficult
ties of getting here. However, from re-
ports from Fort Reno, Sill and else
where l am satisfied the arrangements
will prevent serious trouble of any kind,
though there may in remote sections of
the country be individual cases of strife.

IT is probable that the President will
be asked to extend the time when the
civil service rules will apply to the rail-
way mail service. Under the present
order, after May l, all appointments to
the service must be made through the
civil service commission and under its
regulations. More than three-fourths of
the employees were removed during the
past administration and their places sup
piled by others. A large proportion Of
the men removed are valuable employees
and as fast as practicable they are being
restored to their old places, but all the
changes of this character will not be
made before the LIST of Nav for lack OF
time. After that date large number OF
the former employees will be excluded
from Reinstatement, as they have been
more than a year out of the service. For
this reason it is desirable to extend the
time when the civil service rules will go
into effect.

the club rooms. His presence was I'M
expected ard only about thirty persons
were in attendance. He commended
the grit that was shown in the organiza-

crushing defeat of the party and favored
such organizations, He devoted the
most of bis speech to laudIng Cleveland's
administration, coDsoling his hearers
with the memories of the past, and de-
clared that if Harrison's administration

very weak. After the address, it was
voted to have the headquarters open
from $3.50 to 800 p. IN, and from 700 to
10. cop. m. each day and to employ man
to take charge of the rooms. 1t was al
