A GENTLE REMINDER.
Commander Warmers General
Order for Memorial Day.

KANSAS CITY, April 27.-Maj William
Warner, commander-in-chief of the
G. A. r., in General Order No. 3,
designating Nay 80 as Memorial
Day, says; "Attention is directed
to the excessive burden that
falls upon the infant posts that are
struggling for existence in the South.
where more than 250, 900 of our comrades
lie in national Genet cries, whose graves
in many cases are sadly neglected on
Memorial Day, owing to the paucity of
our membership in those localities.
The national encampment through
its council of administration,
has authorized the quartermaster
general to make provision for supply
ing flags to mark every grave in the
cemeteries, but donations of flowers,
flags or funds from individuals or posts
would be gratefully received by either
of our comrades having this matter
in charge, or the superintendents
of the national cemeteries. notably
at Marietta. Ca; Chattanooga, Tenn;
Memphis, Tenn; Nashville, Tenn;
Fredericksburg, Va; Arlington, Va;
Salisbury. n. c.; Challmett, La.

Ga; in each one of which the remains

WHAT FORAN SAYS
To the Charge That He offered to
Sell Out.

CLEVELAND, o., April 27.-Ex-Con-
gressman NJ. A. Foran, who has been
accused by the Democrats of the
Twenty-frst congressional district
of Ohio with having offered
to sell his services to the
Republican national committee,
last fall, publishes long letter this
morning, in which he charges that f.
NJ. Heisley. chairman of the Young
Mems Democratic club, of Cleveland,
tried to fix up deal whereby Foran
was to stump New York for Harrison,
receiving for his services $4,000 or $780,
600. 81 knew absolutely nothing of this
DEAL" Foran says, until Sept. 26, when
Heisley called upon me in Washington,
and said that he was authorized to
offer me $4,000 if | would agree to
make speeches for Mr.. Harrison. l
emphatically told Mr.. Heisley that the
proposition could not be considered as |
bad already refused overtures to go into
the Republican camp. HeiSley was very
persist tent, however, and went to New
York, after he had seen me, to try and
have the amount raised to $4,000. l
afterwards received letters and tele-
grams from Heisiey in which he tried
to conduct this deal, and will produce
them when the proper tlme comes.
Heisley, who is one of the most promi-
nent Democrats in northern Ohio. We
hemently denies the truth of Foran's as
sertions and the latter VOWS that he
will produce the correspondence that
passed between them. The eX-con-
gresham makes ugly charges against
several other prominent local Demo
Gratis. There is great excitement IN
Cleveland, political circles and import
ant developments are looked for.

fication was at once given the police
boat patrol, the captain of which sent
two officers in small boat to the bark
to ascertain what was the trouble. The
officers found that the crew of ten mens
had mutinied and that one of the num-.
Der had been assaulted. From all that
could be learned. the story is that
the bark, which is from st. Johns
n. B., was to sail from this port with
cargo of lumber for Rio Janiero. Capt.
Furlane was not on board. but he was
expected at any time, and preparations
were being made to sail by Mate Foster,
when five of the sailors refused to work,
claiming that the ship was unseawOrthy
and in leaking condition. They also
claimed that the captain had shipped
the other five men of the crew when he
knew that they were not competent
sailors. Then a fight took place in
which one man was knocked down
Mate Foster ran up signal of distress.
The moment the officers clambered over
the side of the vessel peace was restored
and the distress signal was hauled
down. The crew has agreed to abide
by the decision of the British consul.

SIOUX CITY. To-, April 27.-It is not
often that full-blooded Indians take an
active part in political conventions, and
yet that sight was witnessed this after
noon at Pender, Neb., the occasion be-
ing the first Democratic convention to
nominate county officers in the recently
organized county of Thurston, named
after Omaha's big politician. Hon. John
NJ. ThurstOn. The county is composed
mostly of Winnebago and Omaha reser-
Vations. and the inhabitants are over
half Indians. David Steyr. full-blood
member of the Winnibago tribe, was
secretary. Several townships were not
represented, but after a long search
noble red man was found who lived liz
the Omaha precinct, who said he was a
Democrat. and was given power to cast
three votes to which his precinct was
entitled. The older Indians are kicking
over the county organization. as they
say it increases their taxes without any
return and much bad blood has been
stirred up. though it is not probable
that any violence will be attempted. A
full county ticket made up of white
men was nominated.

AND NOW IT'S SMALLPOX.
The Curses of Guthrie Reinforced
BY Disease.

ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, April 27.-A
smallpox epidemic now threatens
Guthrie and other towns in the new
territory of Oklahoma. The excite
ment caused by the knowledge of the
brackiSh, poisonous character of the
waters of the river is not a circum-
stance to the fear that has seized upon
the minds of the people in regard to this
fell destroyer. 1t seems that a man
named Joseph Ellsworth. of Kansas
City, more recently of Leadville, was
taken down on Wednesday on his re-
turn from Guthrie and Oklahoma City.
and is now quarantined at a house
near the Santa Fe railroad shops.
1t is reported that this man stood in
line at the land Office at Guthrie for
four hours, while waiting to file his
claim on Tuesday, thus exposing to an
attack all those with whom he came in
contact at that time. As the trains are
crowded every day between Arkansas
CITY, Guthrie. Oklahoma City and Pur-
cell, the disease may have already
spread to those towns. The people who
have heard of this case are anticipating
an epidemic. The first outbreak will
result in nearly depopulating these
embryo cities in Oklahoma. DR.. More,
Of Arkansas City, who is in attendance
on Ellsworth, says it is a genuine cease
of smallpox and the people are excited
over the matter. although the officials
say they can undoubtedly keep it from
spreading. They talk quite seriously
of establishing quarantine ON the
Oklahoma region, as they have dubbed
the new territory.
