purpose of raising Si00, 600 to defray the

the complete success of the undertaking
Deep interest is being manifested IN all
parts of the state and fifty counties have
already notified Secretary Sims that local
organizations have been perfected Tor the
purpose of raising their respective quotas
In an indirect way he has been informed
that the organizations have been COM
pleted IN ten or fifteen more companies,
making much more than one-half OF the
counties of the state that have taken steps
in the matter Three counties-Shernan,
Allen and Finney-have guaranteed their
full proportion and paid in the first 10 per
cent which is demanded of all by June i.
when a meeting of representative of sub
scribers will be held in this city TO elect
a board of managers to take charge OF the
fund.
Each 500 subscribed will be entitled to
one vote at this meeting. The several
railway companies OF the state are called
upon for little more than 81, 1000, which
leaves SIS, 900 20 be subscribed by the 100
counties While there may be a few coun-
ties that will not respond to the call nearly
all of them will, and the amount the dere-
lict fail to subscribe will be forthcoming
from other sources.
As an indication of the enthusiasm that
has been aroused Secretary Simons has
received a number of invitations from
schools inquiring as to how they shall pro-
ceed to assist the movement, and school
district No l, of Rice county, has notified
him that the scholars have raised Sl2 for
the fund which is subject TO his orders.
Henry Worrall, who bad charge OF the
Kansas exhibit at the centennial, has, in
the absence of any authorized person to
make collection for the Kansas exhibit at
Chicago, issued a call asking the people 20
select samples from this years crops as
fast as they are matured and lay them
away TO be ready when the work of collec-
ting begins. He has done this so that the
best of the crops may be saved. Many
people have signihed the intention of
acting upon his suggestion. Mr.. Worrau
has also prepared plans for the Kansas
building which he will submit ~ the
board OF managers.

He PUN ped the Organ.

Eli Saunders was a tall, thin. gawky man
who had always lived in u little village,
and had never accomplished anything
worth mentioning; but he had little
money more than most of his neighbors,
and considered himself very valuable
member of society.
He was decidedly eccentric, and there
were people who contended that his head
wasn't right" However this might be, he
went his way, regardless OF criticism. He
was fond of music, and insisted on pump
ing" the little organ in the church, Sunday
after Sunday, year liz and year out. lust

What's the use Of hirin' flighty boy
that most likely won't pump even strokes"
he inquired, when here be, ready an

AS be grew older he became more and
more convinced that his part in the music
on Sundays was one OF great Importance,
and often spoke of the skin IL required to
pump an organ as it should be done-nel-
their too fast nor too slow.
One day "A fine orgauist from distant
city came TO the little place and played on
the organ on Sunday. He held short
conversation after church with Eli, who
went home much elated.
"He said / pumped stiddy an snre ss

THE TARRYTOWN EXPLOSION.

TARRYTowN, n. Y, May 20.-Little
remains to tell of the terrible explosion
which yesterday morning killed thirteen
persons and horribly wounded twenty-five
Others. The workmen have filled up the
hole caused by the explosion, and travel is
going on as usual. Thirteen killed is the
Nfficial number announced by Coroner
Mitchell. He says that from information
he has he believes that there are still five
bodies in the river. He says that the
names and numbers of that many have
not been checked from the list of those
who were supposed to have been on the
car at the time of the explosion. Two
men, who are reported to have been fish
ing on the banks of the river near by at
the time of the explosion, are said to have
been blown into the river This report,
however, cannot be verified. The river is
being dragged.

THE TERRITORY INTRUDERS.

ST. LOUIS, May GA morning paper
prints an interview with Mr. G. w Litr!e,
prominent citizen of Vinita, /. T.. con
corning the present trouble with 1ntruders
on Indian reservations. Mr.. Little said:
''There's bound to be trouble down there
before 10000 or 10000 people are evlcted
from the territory. Without doubt the
Cherokee strip will be sold to the govern
ment and when it is thrown open for set
tlement the rush to Oklahoma will not
prove marker to the boom which the
strip will enjoy. The three Indian parties,
viz, the Downing party, Nationals and
Liberals, all propose the sale of the strip
in their platforms. Just what these vari-
Gus platforms mean is something no fellow
has been able 10 find out. Chief Mayes,
the progressive leader of the Cherokee
people, and a representative OF the Liberal
party, is subject to assaults and charges of
fraud from eX-Chief Bushyhead and his
followers"
Speaking of the five civilized nations,
MIR. Little said: The Cherokees are the
aristocracy of the territory. The Creeks
have great admixture of negro blood,
and are involved in much litigation with
so-called Creek freedmen. General
Porter, prominent Creek. is said to nave
cleared $50, 900 on the Oklahoma deal
The better class of Indians in all the
tribes are impatient for the sale of their
lands now held idle by the government
and for an allotment to be made, as they
realize the fact that every day their
chances for securing individual slices of
land are lessened By the influx of ''sQuaw
men, and the natural inclination of
Indian women TO become fruitful and re-
plentish the earth. The north and east
possess no proper conception of what a
rich country the Indians possess
As to the Indian government, that of
the Cherokees has stood the test for forty
years. | think the placing OF the Indian
territory on proper territorial basis Will
be done in a short time, if, indeed, the bars
are not let wholly down and the territory
allowed to leap into statehood at once.
Everything at present points TO an era Of
prosperity. Railroads are penetrating
every portion Of the territory; cattlemen
look forward to successful season, and
have already shipped in greater nun Der
OF cattle than ever before.
The better class Of Indians maintain
that it would be more advap tageous TO the
country in the long run to sell the $3.50
900 acres of the Cherokee strip to the gov
ernment for 81 . per acre than to accept
the $50 600 900 offered by cattle syndicate
formed in northern Texas and Kansas
Thirty days ago the little remnant OF Sacs
and Foxes received 5000 per capita in
cash, s, 400 in stock, an annuity OF SIS and
sixty acres of land. Pretty well fixed
aren't they? The Delawares scattered
through the Cherokee nation recently re-
ceived 5000 per capita. The Osages, when
their allotment is made, will receive S35.-
coo per capita and the Shawnees and a few
other scattered tribes Will be dealt with on
a SuTDasSInglv Ii iberal scale y

WASHINGTON, May. 20-Mr. Joseph
NimmO, Jr., has written letter in which
he says he wants to give some facts in
refutation of the statements which have
recently appeared in certain free-trade pa
pers, to the effect that the Mckinley tariff
act has not yet developed any tin-plate in
dustry in the United States" " The provi-
sion of this act raising the duties on tin
plate from l cent to . 2-10 cents per pound
does not take effect until July !, 1891. In
a letter dated May Il, from James ".

Iron and Steel Association, Mr.. Nimmo is
informed as follows:
I'VE are today making tin plate at St.
Louis. at Chicago, at Demmler and Apol-
10. Pa, in commercial quantities. and not
experimentally. In Brooklyn and Cleve-
land tin-plate plants are now in the course
Of erection. You can give these statements
on my authority"
The St Louis Stamping company says
under date of April %: We are making
twenty-five to forty boxes daily. but by
July our new works Will be ready, with
a daily output Of 500 boxes The Chi
cago manufacturers are Norton Brothers;
the Demmler manufacturers are the Unit
ed States Iron and Tin Plate company: the
Brooklyn parties are Somers Brothers. and
the Cleveland parties, the Britton Rolling
Mill company. These, and Eve or six
other concerns, engaged in or contem-
plating tin plate manufacture, net in
New York on the 29th OF s pril.
The mining of tin is also being developed
in this country, a fact demonstrated to
the president in the course Of his jour-
ney. This American tin-mining and tin
plate industry has arisen in anticipation
Of protection. The price Of tin to pro-
ducers has not advanced and Is not likely
TO advance The evidences of benefit
which the whole country has derived from
protection during the last thirty years are
