LATEST OKLAHOMA NEWS.


The latest Oklahoma news from Wash
ington is to the effect that the house
bill WIS, on Monday, reported by the
senate committee on territories. and it
was placed on the calendar, Mr.. Cullom
giving notice that he would call it up
for action as soon as possible. Mr.. But
Ter, of the committee. presented a sub
stitute. as representing the views of a
majority of the committee. Mr. Platt
said he did not agree with the majority
of the committee, but he would support
the substitute. This, in our opinion,
means that the bill is doomed, for if the
substitute for the house bill is adopted,
it will not likely pass the house. This
result was predicted in the dispatches
Of last Friday, and the Kansas City
delegation then practically gave up the
fght. 1t appeared also that the repre-
sentatives of the cattlemen knew when
they had won their point, for they hur-
riedly closed their argument, and init
mated that they knew what they were
doing. Oklahoma will not be opened
this year.

An Amusing Imbroglio.

" A somewhat amusing imbroglio con-
nected with forged bank-notes is making
the Hungarians merry says the Vienna
correspondent of the London Times. GA
short time ago gang OF men, supposed to
be forgers of bank-notes, was arrested at
notwithstanding, and the tribunal of that
town sent bundle of their false notes to the
court Of justice at Budapest, before which
the prisoners were To be tried. By some
blunder the notes were forwarded to the
tax office as genuine, and the tax Office
put them in circulation. As a consequence
the prisoners had to be acquitted or that
trial for want of proof They now intend.
it is said, to sue the Hungarian Government
for their money, arguing that the genuine
ness of the notes has been sufficiently es-
tablished by their circulation through the
sax Office. 1t ought to be explained that in
this country, where the currency Is paper,
nobody ever thinks of taking the number
of bank-note.''

The bill introduced in the Kansas leg
islature, to give mortgagors two years
i'll which TO redeem land when sold
under mortgage. was killed in the SEN
ate last week. Letters were read from
number of loan companies stating
that they would withdraw from the
state if the bill became law. We are
not fully satisfied that the proposed law
would have been of advantage to the
state. but we certainly think the legis-
lature is easily scared by threats. Only
two years ago, when a bill was pending,
requiring fire insurance companies to
pay the full face of the policy, in case
of loss, the companies threatened to
withdraw from the state, and as in the
case of the proposed redemption bill,
the legislature backed squarely down.
We would Ike to see a legislative body
in this state with backbone to it, just
for once. II this state is to be con-
trolled and dominated by eastern loan
and insurance companies, what is the
use of going to the expense of electing
legislature, anyhow?

E,nTn IN OKLAHOMA.

The only thing needed to cat people
absolutely crazy about Oklahoma, was
gold mine excitement. and now that
has been properly provided for. FIRE.
quently, within the past four or five
years, we have heard people wish that
Black Hills excitement might extend
over Oklahoma, their argument being
that the flood of immigration would
then be so strong that it could not be
stayed by the full force of the govern
ment. A dispatch to the Wichita Ea-
gle, from Purcell, /. T., dated the 18th,
tells the story as follows
Excitement runs high here over the
finding of several placer gold mines in
Oklahoma, across the river from this
place, about twenty miles distant. Mi
ners' camps are visible from here. Mr.
Parker, one of the miners. came oyer
last evening and gave full description
of the mines. He said they had been
worked and timbered years ago, for the
timbers had rOtted away, and there
were trees two feet through growing out
of the mouths of the drifts. Mr.. Par
ker has great hopes and expectations
for the mines. He said they got gold
out of the first pan they washed. There
are abont twenty miles of country ad-
jacent to the mines, which looks favor
able for the miners picks. They are
probably old Spanish mines.n
A second dispatch says: ''Slnce the
gold fever has taken possession of this
place, nearly every citizen of this town
has Staked off a gold claim, or intends
to do so. The miners are bringing in
considerable pure gold just as it comes
from the siuiee pans. It is certainly a
very rich mine for the miners to secure
such quantity of gold in only one and
half days labor.n

The most important discovery has
been made i'm St, Louis that the con-
troll of barbed wire patents is not vest
ed in any American firm or corporation.
because the device of barbed wire was
patented in France to Louis Jarin, on
April 10. 1865 The law of this country
as declared by the United States SUI
preme court, is that: "a foreign patent
for the same thing or description of the
thing in foreign publication. is as effect.
uai to void patent as if the patentee
had seen The prior invention, notice to
him not beng important If this de-
cision holds, and there Is no appeal
from II. the claims Of certain persons
for royalty under the Glidden and other
barbed wire patents are void, and all
the money paid to them by barbed wire
manufacturers who had no interest in
the Glidden patents is believed to be
subject to recovery.

show-Mindow Displaxs.

A well-known Boston detective says OF
the displays in our show-windows: "It NAV
look queer, but it is true, that the atores
which have large exhibitions in their show
windows do more toward educating young
boys to steal than any thing else The
reason of this Is that large crowds, mostly
women, gather about the windows to look
at the displays. Well, a young gamin
comes along and sees a pocket-book pro-
truding out of womans pocket, and the
temptation is so great that he sneaks up be-
hind her and steals tho wallet Maybe
this is his first time, but when once given q
start in this direction there seems to be a
kind Of infatuation about it which leads
him to follow it up, and oftentimes results
in his becoming professional hasuse-break.

REAL SCOTCH HUMOR.
Bright Flashes Gathered Hero and Their

Bright Flashes Gathered Hero and There
by a Highland Editor.
DR.. Scott, of Greenoch, says the Scottish
World, used to tell of sailor who came to
be married, but when asked if he would
take the woman to be his wife, looked blank
and said: 81 would like to know first what
you are going to say to She" At another
time when the woman was asked if she
would obey, but did not answer, the man
also sailor-exclaimed Leave that to me,
sir"
In those days people that felt sleepy dur
ing the sermon used, as now in Germany,
to shake off drowsiness by standing up; but
poor human nature made this at times an
occasion of display. At Old Mon1land
man who had on rather gaudy vest stood
up more than once and threw back his
coat, apparently to let his vest be seen. Mr..
Bower, the minister, at length said: "Noo,
John, We had better sit doom. We have a.
seen your Draw waistcoat.'
1t was to Mr.. Bower that the grave-dig-
ger once said: Grades very dull the moo
haen buried levin cratur for three
weeks"
The people seem to have had dislike to
sermons being read. They used to say: "Hoo
can we mind the minister's sermon if he
Gamma mind it himsel'2'
What are we to think of the lady who
sent to her minister, Mr.. Risk, of Dalserf,
polite message that Z" he should clean his
teeth" and received the answer that "she
should scrape her tongue!"
When his people sent deputation re-
costing him TO tell them more in his SER
mons about renouncing their own right
eousness, he tartly replied; at is the first
time heard that you had any righteous
ness TO renounce."
Mr.. Thorn, of Govan, maintained great
warfare against the Glasgow magistrates.
One day, while he was standing with the
provost in the street. a ragged urchin came
up begging, and was sternly driven away
by the provost, who had himself risen from
nothing. Mr.. Thorn interposed, and said:
"Hey, laddie, there's a penny for you.
Yen may be provost of Glasgow yourself

The impression is growing that E. T.
Brown, the WIGHT real estate man, was
not murdered or spirited away, but that
he absconded to beat his creditors. r.
Z. Bean, banker of that city, has
made affidavit that Brown has abscond-
ed, and a PinSerton detective says he
can produce him without much delay.
If Brown is discovered alive. he should
be horse-whipped, for his wife came

The Kansas legislature is discussing
the propriety of submitting constitu-
tiOnal amendment extending the legis-
latiye sessions to ninety days, and in
creasing the pay of members from three
to five dollars per day. 1t Will never
carry. We think the session should be
extended, and that the members should
receive regular salary, and that it
should be with the governor to call the
legislature together, and keep them in
session as long as there is any business
that should be attended to.
