Will Little Honored.

The territory of Oklahoma is fortu-
nate in the selection of the compiling
committee to compile its laws. Secre-
tary Martin, satisfied with mediocre in
nothing, was determined that Okla
bOma's statutes, left to his care, should
be models in arrangement and typo
graphy. Accordingly, before the legis-
lature adjourned, he appointed Mr..
Will 7. Little, good lawyer and one
of Oklahama's ablest young men, as
compiler. The legislature provided
that the secretary should appoint two
assistants. Accordingly he appointed
Hon. L. g. Pittman, from the council,
Hon. j. r. Barker from the assembly,
both excellent men for this work. The
committee of three, with Captain Asher
as sergeant-at-arms and general assist
ant, have been at work and are well
along. The work is enormous. That
the work should be out as soon as pos
sible, this committee has worked
almost night and day. 1t took two
lawyers eight months to complete the
Dakota statutes. This committee will
complete the Oklahoma statutes in 80
days and do job far better than the
Dakota compilation. The lawyers who
have seen the Oklahoma compilation
so far, declare it the most convenient
arrangement of matter they have ever
seen,

Enterprise Journal: A great deal
is being said by the opposition papers
about grain gamblers getting a hold of

a bushel and then selling it for forty
five cents. This is all bosh. Any

have got corn just as cheap and sold
it just as high. The gambler in grain
may make fictitious values for a while
but the price is regulated by the sup
ply and demand.

HERINGTON, Jan. 49, J. l.. Tracy,
brakeman on the Rock Island who
had made his headquarters here for
some months, was shot aud Instantly
killed 1T Caldwell, Kansas, Saturday
night by William Brooks, of that city.
Tracy went to the home of Brooks for
the purpose of meeting Brooks wife,
with whom he had been quite intimate
in the past, as was brought out in the
evidence before the coroner'S jury.
He persisted in his attention after
finding the woman's husband at home,
and after being put out of the house
once by Brooks, he kicked the door in
and started to enter, when he received
a bullet through his heart from a So
caliber bulldog revolver in the hands of
the husband. Brooks delivered him
self up to the city marshal and was
locked up in the Jail. The coroner's
inquest was held Sunday. 1t is
thought that Brooks will be bound over
but will be acquitted when it comes to
trial. Mrs. Brooks bears very bad
reputation, but her husband has al
ways been a quiet and peaceable citi-
zen. Tracy was bachelor, about 3S
years of age. His parents live in
FreepOrt, Ill.

Run on the Abilene National.
A rumor set afloat last evening that
the Abilene National bank of this city
had lost heavily in the failure of the
American National at Kansas City
caused some easily frightened individ-
uals to make a slight run on the insti-
tuition this morning. As matter of
fact, although the American National
was the Kansas City correspondent of
the Abilene National tie latter lost
only few hundred dollars, it so hap
pening that it had little money there
on deposit.
When the run took place this morn
ing the officers laughed at it and the
currency was straigbtway forth coming
for the depositOrs while thousands of
dollars were piled up on the counters.
The business men took no part in the
movement but on the contrary in
creased their deposits, making tie
days business one of the most prosper
GUS the bank ever did, the run lasting
less than three hours. OF course no
bank keeps in its vaults SUN equal to
its deposits but the Abilene National
is so we'll supplied with cold cash or its
equivalent that it can meet all demands
made upon it.
The Abilene National is one of the
most substantial institutions in the
west and tOday's experience has served
greatly increase the confidence in
which it is held. Its officers are men
of careful and conservative business
habits and with dictatorship that in
cludes some of the wealthiest and most
stable citizens of the county, the bank
is in every respect an institution that
will do to tie to.

THE. COLORADO CRISIS.

The Election of Senator Likely 20 Go BY
Default.
DENVER, Col, Jan. 19.-The Legisla-
ture will make another attempt to meet
this morning. 1t is said now that
Speaker Hanna will have three of the
Democratic faction arrested and forcibly
carried into the Assembly building TO
make the desired quorum. This will be
resisted by the Democrats to the bitter
end, and if it is attempted blood
will surely flow. The greatest
interest is now conferred on the
probable course to be pursued on Tues
day, when a United States Senator will
be chosen The law requires that both
branches of the Legislature shall meet
on that day and ballot for Senator. I'm
der the existing chaos the lower House
has two bitter factions and two Speak
ers. Neither side will submit, and I'M
less a compromise is perfected it viii
invalidate the law governing the ballot
ing for United States Senator.

ingalls, Great Speech.

The REFLECTOR takes pleasure in
placing before its readers in entirety
the mastery Grafton of Senator Ingalls,
in the senate of the United States last
week. 1t is a speech that will be
spoken of for years to come as typical
address. 1t is characteristic in its
polished rhetoric, its extent of vocabu-
larry, its pungeney and its original style.
Even the Chicago Herald, a vindic-
tive enemy to ingalls,, INDUCES in this
sweeping praise: "Ingalls today
clinched his claim to be considered the
senate's greatest orator. Imagine the
English of Macaulay or Motley de-
livered with the evolutionary skill of a
Barrett or Irving and more than the
force of a McCullugh or Booth, and
you have Ingalls,
Whatever may be the senator's fate
in seeking reelection, Kansas is proud
of Ingalls,, as indeed is the whole
nation.

Special REFLECTOR Correspondence.
CHAPMAN, Jan. IS. - President
Quayle, of Baker University, Baldwin,
Kas., will deliver the fourth lecture of
the course before the students of the
county high school, Thursday evening,
Jan. 9th. This will be a rare treat
and as all lectures are free will no
doubt be attended by a large number.
One of the most encouraging features
connected with the attendance at the
county high school is the fact that
nearly all the students are Of the county,
less than ten having entered this year
from other counties. OF course, as the
work of the institution becomes better
known there will be more wish to at
tend, aud the price Of tuition must
necessarily be raised.

BROUGHT HIM BACK.
SHERIFF NALL GETS HIS MAN
IN TEXAS.
A Visit to Dallas and Austin-A
State Which is Far from Satisfac-
tory to a Kansan-Abilene's Col
ony Prospecting.

Sheriff NALL returned yesterday
from Texas where he has been after
one Worley alias John Cox, man who
had attempted to defraud Hodge Bros.
out of buggy last summer. Cox
bought a buggy and gave a mort
gage on both the buggy and horse.
Then he skipped for the Lone Star
state. NALL caught him a few miles
south of Dallas and brought him back
safely. He is meditating on the evil
of his ways behind the bars.
Mr.. NALL says that the climate Of
Texas has no attraction for a Kansan.
While he was there it rained almost
constantly and the mud was something
to make a man violate the fourth COM
mandment regularly. He went on
down to Austin and saw Messrs. Le-
bold, Shipe and the other members of
the Abilene colony. They are busily
engaged on their street car line
and expect to have the electric
cars in motion this week. Shipe
is more than happy and expects
to make a fortune in the next few
months. Smallpox is prevalent in
many of the smaller towns and al
together the prospect is far from en-
couraging to a Kansan directly from
the Italian climate of the Sunfower
state.

KEYS IN LUCK.
A Former Dickinsonian Strikes it
Rich in Oklahoma.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. IGN. J.
Keys, formerly of Kansas City received
word today that the United States land
Office at Washington had passed favor
ably upon his Oklahoma claim that was
jumped by lot lOcaters. The land lies
on the south side of Guthrie City and
constitutes one-fourth of the entire
city. 1t has rapidly risen in value,
single lots selling for from $4,000 to
$4,000. Mr.. Keys will leave for Guthrie
next Monday.
The above dispatch probably refers
to former superintendent of schools
of Solomon City. Keys went from
Solomon to western Kansas, thence to
Hutchinson, next to Missouri and
ended up in Oklahoma. The decision
rendered as given above will probably
make him worth half million.
