Then, after some more talk, and q
look at the delirious man, Mr.. Macklin
went away. and Ellen, with totally
changed feelings, resumed her post at
the patients side.
She looked at his face coldly. Her
kindliness for him was all gone. The
poor man who was so patient under his
privations seemed to have died, and
there on the pallet before her lay the
thing she loathed so unutterably-a
aliser. TO both father and daughter

dead. But they ministered to him
still, until one day-after Isaac Moss

LITTLE Rock, April 25.-There was
something of a sensation in the federal
court today, when the grand jury marched
into open court with c. c. Reed, the young
attorney of Morrilltown, and announced
that they had asked him questions about
the Plummerville ballot box theft which
he refused to answer. The question was:
Odd o. Z. Bently have any conversation
with you in regard to the theft OF Plum
merville ballot boX?'
In court Reed again refused to answer
and Judge Caldwell asked him if
he and Bently sustained relation
of client and claimant to each
other. Reed again refured to
answer. Judge Caldwell gave him until
tomorrow morning 10 answe one of the
questions

GUTHRIE, Ok, April 25.-The facilities

All attention is paid to this work as on
it depends every lot owners claim. Nc
attention has been paid to proposed

tent anywhere, proposed street or not,
trusting that the survey will give him
something.
Provisions continue scarce. One man

cent loaves at ID cents a loaf, or TWO
loaves for % cents. The supply ran out
and while people were willing to pay the
exorbitant price it could not be had at all.
Crackers found ready sale at $3.50 per

given $50 for the privilege of breaking
open the car which contained his stock. lie
on made 1t up.
The Inconvenience caused by the block
AIDE OF freight here is beyond computation.
1t gets worse instead of better. The
freight and baggage increase with each
train and a lack OF help prevents a prompt
distribution.
The water question continues a serious
one. Before the end of the week wells
will be sunk.
Despite the fact that every train takes
out large numbers Of dissatisfied settlers
every train brings IN as many more, so
there is little change in the actual number
here.
The lot question continues the all-im-
portant one The class OF men who were
on the ground before the hour of opening
and who are standing together, will be
hard to GUST from their lots, but the peo-
pie are determined.
Filing continues slow. 1t has not
reached 100 any day.
The order here is phenomenal. No
whisky is to be bought. Agentleman who
is now specializing on lots has the prom

for the entire territory and he is banking

The sun is, very hot and where the sod
has been spaded or plouChed up the soil
is mealy and blows in every direction.
Citizens are dirty and the scarcity OF water
prevents cleanliness. Citizens meetings
are held three times per day. Chairman
Constantine is SO hoarSe he can hardly
speak.
The demands of the people in Guthrie
for railroad service TO get out are accumu-
lating and are becoming so urgent that
trouble Is feared.
The collision north of Stewart caused by

The reported number of people on the
Cherokee strip is exaggerated Only

packed to OVERLOOKING, and there were
many who could not get in. Steve ODon-

opening bout was between Ned Mcdonald

lively rounds and retired amid applause.
These were followed by several local pairs.
Everybody seemed impatient. for the
star. There was mighty roar
when the coming of Sullivan was
announced, and the applause was simply
deafening when the champion walked
down the aisle to the platform. There
was round after round of cheers when the
big fellow stood upon the stage and bowed
his acknowledgements, and when two
huge floral pieces were presented to him,
there were cries of speech" John re-
