York City Elections.
The Missouri Pacific Reduces
Passenger Rates.

GUTHRIE, |. T., March 4-Reports
concerning the alleged scheme to c~olouize
Oklahoma and make it a negro state have
aroused the settlers to a high pitch of ex-
citement. At Downs. twenty miles west.
a secret organization has been formed and
decided to drive out the few negroes here
and allow no more to become settlers. A
negro named Hawkins was suspected of
firing the prairie grass a short time age,
and the feeling against him became very
bitter. Early this morning a party Of
ten masked men broke into Hawkins
house, and took him from bed and Sc
verely whipped him. During the whip
ping Buck Hawkins, a son, ran and
aroused the Burgess family. Burgess.
armed with a shotgun. returned with
young Hawkins and fred at the masked
party from ambush. Henry Chambers
was badly wounded and may die. The
negroes were pursued and captured and
promised to leave the country. The few
negro settlers in the vicinity of Guthrie
became alarmed at the feeling against
colored people and are getting ready 10 90
to Kansas.

The WEAKNESS of long continued
study is p%roverbial. Its explanation is
not far to seek. One portion of our
entire being is almost exclusively o.
cupied, and the monotony of the pro-
cess constitutes in large measure the
cause of exhaustion, Relief must &C
cordingly be sought in rest, in the ex-
ercise Of other functions, or in varia-
ton of the form of mental ~exertion.
Such timely and refreshing change
enters into all well ordered plans OF
education. There is, however, in
every study q stage at which persist
ent concentration is indispensable to
high development.-Oncc a Week.

reports a motion was adopted that 40 per
cent of the gate receipts, mentioned in
section 60, be construed to mean twenty
cents per capita, turnstile count, except
in the case of Philadelphia, where ten
cents per capita be paid. President
Young read a letter containing an offer of
$1,000 600 Tor the franchise and clubs of

the cost computed on the basis of four
teen men, at a fixed rate per mile. All
clubs below the average to be required to
pay an amount into the league treasury
equal to the average; clubs having paid

l was riding through the country
west of Pekin. Ills, with an organ and
piano agent, when we came along to
a school house n evening and found
a spelling school in progress. We had
three miles yet TO go to reach town,
but the agent suggested that we stop
for a while, adding:
IF l can't spell the whole school
down, then 1 don't want a cent"
There was a big turn out, and the
master at once invited us to take a
hand in. l had been there before, and
politely declined. The agent, how.
ever, went into the ranks with great
enthusiasm, and in the course of ff-
teen minutes had downed all but
twelve. Then l overheard growls and
threats and mutterings from half a
dozen young men, and knew that he
vas galloping to his doom. Five min.
utes later there were only six up, and
at the end of another five the agent
and the belle of the school stood alone.
The mutterings grew louder and more
menacing, and I decided to slip out
doors. l was unhitching the team
when there came a loud cry followed
by a succession of crashes, and q
crowd poured out through the door.
The agent was being dragged by the
hair of the head, and as soon as well
out into the yard they rolled him
down a bank into the creek. l got
out with the team by the skin of my
teeth, and, reaching town, sat up all
night for the agent. He came in about
daylight, clothing in rags, eyes bunged
up, two fingers broken, and going
lame in both legs, and as he fell into
a chair he explained:
Before using and after usingl l
first downed the school and then the
school downed me, and I'll be hanged

Dogs as Life Savers.

Speaking of the calamity in the resi-
dence of Secretary Tracy, at Wash
ington, a dog fancier remarked that if
there had been one or more dogs in the
house no life would in all probability
have been sacrificed. There. are, he
said, scores of well attested instances
on record of house dogs being awak-
ened by the first smell of fire or smoke
and making such a racket as to COM
pei the sleepers to arouse in time to
save their lives. Many such nara
tlves can be found in your newspaper
files, and l don't doubt but what they
are true.
THE scent of a dog is so keen that
1t detects any unusual odor in the at
mosphere, and its natural intelligence.
which uniformed people speak of as
instinct, teaches it that danger exists
for the persons whom it regards with
affection. Therefore, it seeks to awak-
en- them, and, of course, is successful,
if it is anywhere near them. Let me
recall to your mind an incident that
came close to being such a tragedy as
that of the Tracy residence. 1t oc-
CURED some years ago in the home of
a Mr.. Fisher, a wealthy grain exporter
in Baltimore.
The fire started in the rear portion
of his splendid house and burned
away the. back stairs before reaching
around to the front structure. Mr..
Fisher and his wife slept in the sec
ond story front room. Mrs. Fishers
pet was a toy terrier, that always
passed the night on a rug at the foot
Of her bed. The flames had not shown
at any of the windows when the dog
was aroused. 1t ran to the bed and
persistently barked.
MIR. Fisher ordered it away and at
last slapped it to enforce his com
mand. Still the faithful dog stood
firm and barked its shriIlest and loud
est. Thoroughly awakened from his
sleep Mr.. Fisher arose to discover
what the trouble was and found the
odor of smoke. He threw open the
door and saw the fire that was eating
its way toward the apartment. But
he had time enough to spare to arouse
his wife, to secure his jewels, money
and other valuables that were in the
room and to make an escape to the
street. The dog saved the life of Mr..
and Mrs. Fisher and enabled them to
bring away thousands of dollars in
cash and jewelry. Thousands of dol
lars could not have afterward bought
the little animal, and when he died
his skin was stuffed and mounted and
is now a relic in the present Fisher
family. '-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Tho Legislature of the State OF
Nevada now meets every two years,
and there are sixty members-twenty
Senators and forty Assemblymen.
The pay Of this body for session of
sixty days al 90 per day is $2S,8OO.
BY reducing the number OF repre-
sentatives to forty and holding
thirty day session every two years
there would be saving of nearly $780,
600, leaving the pay as at present, SO.
Tho amount Of business to transact
can DO done in thirty days and forty
members can do it as we'll, if not
better, than sixty, and $1,000 n year
would be saved the State. The next
thing to do would be to abolish the
Supreme Court Of the State. We
have three Supreme Judges who are
paid salary of $1,000 year. The
State can do without a Supreme
Court and thereby save $4,000 year
un this Item. The next saving would
come in the reduction of salaries of
State officers and the Topping off of
tho many deputies. The Governors
salary would be ample at $500
month, or 5000 year; the Secretary
of State, who now gets $1,000 per
Year could very we'll afford to do all
tho work there is in the office for 3d.
100 year and have no deputy; the
State Controller, who nows gets 49,
600 n year could do his work for S.
400 n year; SO could the State Treas
rirer. We need no Attorney General
Tor tho State Board Of Examiners
could hire all the counsel necessary
for $1,000 year. Otherwise the
officials are paid about right, and the
changes here mentioned would save
just Sll 200 year. These three items
would save in one year S39, 200, or
nearly enough to pay for n Constitu-
tional Convention according to some
estimates OF what such movo would
nost. With the saving that State
poor farm would DO to the State
say SIS .U0-we could have a reduction
of expenses amounting to $4,000.
This is large saving, and we believe
il should be made, as the cost of run
ming tho State now is altogether too
much for $4,000 people. In many
countios the consolidation Of officers
would also reduce the taxes of the
people to considerable extent. The
way to accomplish all these things in
