The Oklahoma Bill.

GUTHRIE, l. T., May 2.-Another very i'm
portant error has been discovered here in
ting Oklahoma bill in section 81 abiding 10
denomination clause. 1t reads as printed
in the bill and copies of the Congressional
Record received here as follows: within
the limits described in the Presidents
proclamation of April l, 1890" The presl-
dent issued no proclamation on that date
relating to the opening of Oklahoma or any
other subject. The proclamation referred
to was issued on April 2, 1859. This error
will probably further delay the passage OF
the bill.
1t is not so much the nigh price as
the high bottoms of the boxes that
make the strawberries blush.

CAN IT BE?
A Former Female Confidant of Wilkes Booth
Asserts He is Not Dead, but That De-
ception was Practiced.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, April 21.-The Times
publishes a story from Birmingham,
Ala in which Louise Worcester, at one
time confdant of J. Wilkes Booth, as
sassin of Abraham Lincoln, is credited
with saying that Booth is not dead. She
declares that in 1867, two years after
Booths supposed death, she received
letter without date or signature, but
Enthusiastically in Booths handwriting.
This letter, she says, is still in ex-
istence. AS to the probabilities Of
the man shot by Boston Cor
bett being Wilkes Booth, she
points out that the body was closely
guarded and secretly buried without an
opportunity of having been given
for Identification by any of
those intimately acquainted with
him. She believes that the man killed
was one of the censpirators and that
Booth made good his escape, and in the
excited or clamorous condition OF the
public mind, it was thought best by the
authorities, if they knew of the decep-
ton, to allow it to pass unchallenged IN
order to allay the fever of excitement
which the assassination aroused.

As I have Just returned from trip through

sands of acres growing in Wichita, the banner

Travelled over fourteen states of the Union and

There will be the largest wheat crop ever

had to make a town, and his answer was: I'VE

courthouse here, we have the purest and best
water in twenty-five feet from the SOIL we have
less waste land in circumference OF ten miles
than any twenty square miles IN Texas, we have
zoo people, while year ago we did not have sew
euueen we have two newspapers and the best

towns, and left with the impression that they
would win.
The people are highly delighted with the DEN
yer change in freight rates making all stations
common points. AS the Denver has spent
thousands of dollars, and are still spending
more to settle up the country along her road,
she can hardly afford to favor one point more
than another at the present.

POSTAL CARD CONTRACT.
Mr.. Daggett Says He Can Settle the Existing
Trouble, and Explains How It
Came About.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, April 20.-Ex-Senator
Albert Daggett, in an interview with
Washington correspondent yesterday,
said he would be able to settle his present
financial difficulties. He was positive
he would hold his contract with
the government for furnishing postal
cards. He stated that the firm OF VIII
kinson Bros. & Co. who took out an at
taohment upon his factory at Shelton,
Conn. were required under their con-
tract with him to furnish him paper equal
III all respects to the government stand
ard. This, he says, they failed to do,
and he was compelled to take back
large quantities of cards from the post
office department owing to the inferior
quality of the paper used. He was also
compelled to buy some 300, 200 pounds
Of paper from the Russell paper
company, and he made Wilkln-
son Bros. s. Co. pay for 1t.
They kept sending on samples of paper
of their own make, but in each instance
the postmaster general refused to accept
them. The acknowledgement then
granted him thirty days IN
which to make experiments upon
consideration that he buy 1900 tons of
paper from the Russell paper company.
He explained to Wilkinson Bros. & Co.
that his trouble, growing out OF their
failure to furnish paper of government
standard, had resulted in his failure to
pay his February account, amounting to
5000. From that time on his troubl es
increased, but he was just preparing
to get $40 200 worth of has paper dis
counted for Wilkinson Bros. & Co.
When he received notice that an attach
ment had been made. Daggett said
there were millions of rejected
cards at his factory, and when the
amount of them was deducted from
their bill, wilkinson Bros. Co. g
claim will not be so large. He had Sc
cured everybody, he said, and would
pay every dollar he owes. Wilkinson
Bros. s. Co., he declared, would have to
continue to make paper for him, or get
some one else to make it, and he had
satisfied the government he was not
afraid Of the result.

the experts. Gleason weighed about l4o
pounds, Hayes 40 pounds heavier. 1t
was thought Hayes could wind the white
man on account of his extra ''heft." 1t
proved the contrary, however. The sci
ence of Gleason was too much for the
Bismarck hitter, whose deficiency in
sparring showed clearly at every round.
Gloves were four ounces in weight. The
fight began at about - o'clock and
Wilkes King, Minneapolis man, acted
as referee II. 9. Crossley of jamestown,
and P. H. Floody of St. Paul, were
chosen time keepers. Tom Devine sec
onded Gleason, E. Patterson OF Bis
marck, did the same office for Hayes.
The fight lasted nearly an hour and the
audience was satisfied at having seen
good mill. The fight and the prize OF
$3.50 were awarded to Gleason on all
points. The battle was exciting from
start to finish. Gleason got first claret.
He demonstrated good ability and great
skill in coming out the best Of his oppo-
nent after being rushed into a corner.
Hayes forced the fighting. The rounds
were of three minutes each. One time
the darkey was pelted a heavy blow On
the nose and the sanguineous fluid went
high in the air. Gleason was slightly
scratched in clinch by Hayes teeth,
otherwise he was not hit, except some
body blows of little effect. Both men
claim to be dissatisfied and there is talk
of another combat to more completely
settle It. Gleason's friends here are
highly gratifed over his success, none
more so than the Captain.
