interest in the weekly proceedings OF
their brethren Of the. Peninsula Met ropo-
us, We are entertained and often edi-
ned by the excerps we get in the daily
press Of the able essays and discussions
that are delivered, the criticisms made
ana the reports presented, and many who
have the honor OF serving charges that
are aiar would be delig htcd to gather with
their more favored brethren ia these
weekly conclayes and share the accruing
good at first hands. But iu the report OF
Mondays meeting In the DAILY REPUB-
LlOAN one OF the members made a yery
serious reflection upon an old and honored
brother, which must have been entirely
unintentional.
In reporting his work he said, "class
anu prayer meetings had almost become
things oi the past" and such may be the
case and yet when he puts II ln that
shape he does his immediate predecessor
very great injury. The luity Will nat

and will be more than likely to oppose

good and sufficient reason that he ne.

Hunters in Berkshire county, Mass. =,
have adopted an Ingenious method OF cap
turing rattlesDakes, whose oil Is there be-
lieved to be cure for deafness, and, az
such commands big price. They go
about on warm days, carrying long fish
ing rod and line and sharp seythe, and
when the reptile is discovered, usually
asleep near a loose edge of rock, 1t Is
probed more or less gently with the pole.
Like any ether sleeper suddenly inter-
rupted, the snake wakes up angry, max es
dart at the nearest Irritating object,
which is the fish hook dangling near his
head from the end OF the pole, and very
accommodatingly allows the sharp tiDet

pole holds the entrapped reptile at safe
distance, while his comrade moves up
and sewers the snakes head from the
body. The latter Is then deposited ia q
bag, and the hunters 60 in search of other
game.

How Long Does an Impulse Las, ?

That Is question which has arisen fci
the decision oil bench of magistrates IN
the Midlands. A well-known lady has
been charged with shooting gsme without
license. The d, fence was that she had
acted on impulse, baving been asked tc
take gun by one Of the gentlemen at a
shooting party, But 1t appeared that she
went on with her sport ior a couple OF
hours-too long for an impulse, go she
was fined e2 aud costs. An alternative
defence was offered that she did not
admit shooting game-only rabbits. But
1t came out that she had popped at the
only pheasant which she saw. The moral
Is that ladies who go out with the
luncheon-an excellent custom II they
do not encroach upon 1t by walking with
the guns-mus be careful to restrain
their momentary impulses. It Is uo de-
fence for an unlicensed lady who has shot
at pheasant that she missed 1t.

ST. LOUIS, April 24.-The following
Items are cleaned from correspondence
from different parts of Oklahoma:
Deputy Marshal J. G. Vannum, ju st
arrived at Guthrie, says that Martin Col
bert, a wealthy halfbreed cattleman of
the Chickasaw Nation, was killed in
quarrel over a claim by a man named
Noland.
About fourteen miles west OF Okla
homa City man was found dead on a
claim. Another man, who gave his name
as Martin, was sitting about twenty
yards from the dead man, taking things
cooiiy and quietly. Upon being ques-
toned, he Informed the deputy that he
had, a few minutes before noon on Mon
day, left his wife and children on the
other side of the river, and, arriving on
his claim, had some difficulty with the
man, whom he had shot In self-defense.
About three miles west of Guthrie
there was duel between a man who had
been sleeping i'm the brush for the last
two or three weeks and another man who
came through on the first train. 1t is
said that the man, who had been hiding
Ill order to jump the claim, ordered his
rival oil, and, on bis refusing to 20.
leyeled Winchester and fired three bul.
lets into his body.
over In the new town OF Noble, Dep-
uty Martin says, the scenes were the
most exciting he e;er witnessed. Texas
cowboys and half breeds, mounted on
the heetest ponies that could be pre-
cured, started on q dead run, with Win
eht sters in their hsnds. Their horses
were urged TO the greatest possible
speed and took equal interest in the
Ghs Sc. These men were employed by q
wealthy Iaxaa
hours after noon they had their town
government organized, a Mayor and city
officers elected, aud the new town has
] 1,6JO inhabi ants.
at ths town meeting 10 Guthrie vest r
day, 1t was resolved 90 make all town lots
25Xl4O, all streets 90 feet and all alleys
~ A motion to re-snrvey all lots and
streets and apportion them among bona
iide settlers was carried. This was de
signed to dislodge companies which have
put employees on several lots.
The Oklahoma Hardware Company
had 2 lots reserved but Telinquished six
TO avoid trouble. Town officers are 10 be
elected this evening. The city now
covers three kect'oDs,fr Elk times the
reserved town site, TO say nothing OF the
struggling los aro,irl. Speculation In
lois is already high. Several have changed
hahos TWO OF lBfee sk1ieB already. Many
are held at Si,0t0 each, aud some have
sid Tor $500.
A large meeting OF Oklahoma boomers
who failed to get claims in the rush aud
scramble OF the past Two days was held at
Arkansas City last nit ht. The purpose
OF the meeting was 10 organize Cherokee
stril colony, the mernbtrs of which were
to go immediately into the strip end take
CLAIMS. Speeches were made by old-time
boomers, and scv,Ial hundred people
voted to go to the strip q. once. X.
1t is believed that 40 settlers will leaye
Tomorrow and take claims IN the strip.
II thty do there are Thousands Of Others
who will follow. A meeting was also held
at the orth line Of Oklahoma ytsterla,,
and many settlers squatled In The strip.
OF course this movement is unlawful,
and the fquatiers In all likelihood Will be
driven Ut by the military.
