ITEMS FROM BEAVER.

BEAVER, Ok, July 14.-[Special cores
pondencel-The seventh county of Okla
homa is in good shape. Plenty of rain the
last week refreshes everything
Beaver has been organized as a village as
provided by the Nebraska statute, with Z.
K. Coffy, A. NJ. Fenner, J. C.. Hodge, E. L.
Gay and j. r. Thomas as trustees. The
board have not yet met to organize The
county commissioners adjourned today af-
ter doing some good work for the county
in the way of purchasing supplies.
The surveyors are now at work survey
ing and plating the first seventy miles of
the east end of the county and, hence, we
may expect to be ready to file on the land
soon.
Some very funny things happen some
times as is shown by the following which ap-
peared IN the Oklahoma Outlines column
of the EAGLE of the 11th instant:
"A. L. Bodle, young lawyer of Meade,
Kan, has been appointed county attorney
of Beaver county, there being no lawyers
IN that county, something that can not be
sald or any other county IN Oklahoma"
| The statement is untrue but the facts
are these, viz: AT the time of the appoint
ment of county officers for the seventh
! county, there was no Republican attorney
| IN the county competent to fill the county
! attorneys office, and as there was no de-
sire on the part of Governor Steele to ap-
point Democrat TO said Office, Mr.. Bodle
was solicited to take the place. which he
finally consented to do. We have now
plenty of attorneys, but we know of no
| business done by any of them, as our peo-
pie are law abiding and seem to have no
use for LAWYERS
Politics are at white heat at the present
time. There are no less than two dozen
candidates for the two who are to be chos-
en- to look after the interests of the county
IN tse first legislature of the territory of
Oklahoma. 1t is pretty certain that some
of them will be disappointed.

THE AMERICAN SQUADRON AT RIO.
copyrighted, 1890. by James Gordon Bennettl
Rio DE JANEIRO, June 29.-The Ameri-
can squadron, on a mission of congratula-
tiOn and friendship to the new republic of
Brazil, entered this magnificent bay June
%. The Brazilians attach great impor-
tance TO the visit of the squadron, regard
ing it as a distinguished mark of esteem
on the part of the United States. They
propose to extend every consideration and
courtesy during its stay. As the squadron |
entered the bay it was saluted by Fort |
lean flag and fired twenty-one |
guns, a most unusual compliment.
Fort Santa Cruz displayed the |
United States ensign, and dipped the Bra
lillian ensign in compliment of the pas
sage of the squadron. AS the vessels ap-
preached anchorage the Brazilian men-of-
war lying near the arsenal continued firing |
salutes, some of the salutes being national |
and some of them to the flag of Admiral .
Walker, as cOmmander-in-Chef. All |
these cOurtesies were promptly returned
by the Chicago.
In the evening the ships of the squadron
were serenaded by the boats of the Brazil
ian squadron arranged in f1otillas, decor
ated with flags and colored lights, burning
fireworks and carrying bands play
ing American and Brazilian ma
tional airs. They moved slowly
about the Chicago, Boston and Atlanta,
whose crews manned the rigging and ac-
lnowledged the compliment by repeated
cheers. Admiral Walker called on the
24th on the Brazilian Rear Admiral Bal
thazar, commanding the fleet; upon Vice
Admiral Abreu, commanding the naval
arsenal, and upon the charge d'affaires of
the United States, James Fenner Lee Esq,
late chief clerk of the state department.
On the 9th in company with the charge
d affairs, the admiral paid his respects to
oenOr q. BOcayura, minister of foreign af
fairs; to Admiral Wardenkolk. minister of
marine, and to Senior 7. .Peixote, minister
Of war
In obedience to a telegram received
that morning from Secretary Blaine,

projects are in hand for the entertainment

The health of the squadron is excellent.
The daily sick list is only from twelve to
eighteen among 100 officers and men. ]
Most Of the cases are trivial The sani-
ary conditions of Rio are fairly good :
There are few sporadic cases of yellow
ever. but that is always to be expected ]
strict sanitary regulations are enforced | {
