OKLAHOMA AT PRESENT.

Henry M. Thayer, of Oklahoma
City, was at Hurst's Hotel, ST. Louis
yesterday. Asked about the con-
ditions down in the territory, he shook
his head mournfulIy and said: 1.-The
people ON Claims have had a hard,
hard winter of it. Last years drOuth
left them at the beginning Of the
winter without any crops. Their
summers work was useless Had the
season been favorable the yield would
have been close, as all the planting
was done On the sod. As it was, how
ever, when they faced tie winter
many faced starvation. Fortunate
ly, the winter had been
mild, and the SUITE ing has
not been so great as was feared. Just
now, however, as the spring opens
the farmers are rendered gloomy
from the fact that they are not to
have the Government relief they
bad expected. 1t was expected that
$50 900 would be appropriated for
the relief OF the people and so, OOc
for the purchase of seed. But it has
been ascertained within the last few
days that neither sum will be availa-
able. The clause appropria;ing $780,
900 for the relief Of destitute citizens
of Oklahoma was embedded in the
general deficiency bill as originally re-
ported, and was stricken out on a point
of order, and an exhaustive examina-
ton of the acts of last congress show
it was incorporated in no other appro-
priation. The appropriation of $780,
600 for the purchase of seeds for
drOuth sufferers in the west, of which
Oklahoma expected s25, 900, suffered
a like fate and the absence of such
relief makes our Territory farmers
start in burdened with gloom. The
railroads and people outside of the
Territory are doing all they can to re-
r-..h1 sUyoInrs,ou.'s omission, but
the outlook is not encouraging.

A PECULIAR STORY.
The Strange Tale of a Widow
Who Would Give No
Name.

To-day's Kansas City Times says !:
A 55-year-old widow of Litchfe!d, H.,
was, according to her own story, rob-
bed and outraged near the union
depot last evening. She lost s25 in
money. At Z o'clock Lieutenant
Boulware was standing on the plat
form in front of the depot watching
the trains, when an elderly woman in
black and wearing a bonnet rushed
up and caught hih. by the arm, and
said that she had been robbed and mis-
treated. Cold as it Was, she was perspir-
ing freely, and had evidently run some
distance. In answer to the officers
inquiries she said she had
been visiting relatives in
south Missouri and was on
her way home to Litcbfield, Ill. She
had to wait in the city several hours
for the s O'Clock Missouri Pacific tram
to St. Louis. While at the depot she
asked Lieutenant Boulware when her
train departed and was tod. Accord
ing to her story a man accosted her
in the waiting room and asked her
what train she was going to take. She
told him, and he proceeded to lead
her to it, saying the incoming train
had been derailei as it entered the
yards and the other train could not
get up to Its place. lie LED her
off in southwesterly direction
from the yards and into
the region of the large agricultural
implement houses. On the way be
told how a woman was killed at GER
tain spot for screaming and refusing
to give up her money, and remarked
that it was best In a case of that kind
to quietly submit TO being robbed.
Thus impressed, the stranger demand
ed her money and was told she had
none, but he searched her and found
a pocketbook, in which he left ticket
to St. Louis and baggage check.
After accomplishing his double pur-
pose, the scOundrel fed.
The woman refused to give her
name and took the Missouri Pacific
train for St. Louis. She remembered
having seen the stranger standing
near while she was inquiring about
her train, but could not give no &C.
curste description of him. She weighs
about $50 pounds.
Lieutenant Boulware said he knew
of two other cases in which the MUIR
der'story was told, and thinks one
man is guilty of the several crimes.
ALI three happened within the past
few months and the schemes worked
were greatly similar.

NO REPUBLICAN NOMINATED.

Thus far the Republicans have not
nominated any one for county school
commissioner and il seems that they
do not intend to do so, even if now
they could come within the limits of
the law governing the matter.
At their recent city convention it
was unanimously recommended that
the Republicans should nominate a
lady candidate to contest the field
with Mr.. Scotch, but the county GEN.
trail Republican committee seem not
to have needed the recommendation
A prominent Republican remarked
to BAzoo representative this morn
ing that he had been in favor of nomi-
mating Miss Kernodle, of East Soda
liza, for the place, though it is under
stood that she is Democrat. "As
the matter stands" said be, cit looks
as though Scotch would have walk
over.

SCOTT SKIPS OFT.

About a week ago George Scott, a
tailor, who had been working for Ar
mold. on East Second street, for sew
eral months, was arrested and locked
up in the calaboose. The next morn
ing he was arraigned before Judge
Halstead, pleaded guilty to a plain
drunk and was fined five dollars and
costs. This was the third time he
had been arrested and fined for drunk
enness and the penalty would have
been much severer, but the Judge
knew that, with the exception of an
occasional spree, he was quiet man
and an industrious workman. AS on
previous occasions when he was In
trouble, Scott appealed to his en-
ployer to help him out and keep him
from going to the calaboose. DIR.
Arnold very generously went to Chief
Prentice, paid the fine and the fellow
was released. Mr.. Arnold also paid a
considerable board bill for his en-
ploye. No sooner had Scott escaped
the clutches of the law than he clan
destinely left Sedalia and nothing
more has been heard from him. Mr..
Arnold, who had SO faithfully be-
friended him, is out quite a sum of
money. Scott is a good tailor, but a
slave to the liquor habit, and an
unprincipalled one, too.

RE.ARRESTED FOR MURDER.

John W. Williams, coal miner
was arrested last evening three miles
east of Clinton for the murder of
London q. Thompson, at Ell Dorado
Springs, Cedar county, the 10Th of
last October. Williams was arrested
at the time, but was released, as the
verdict of the coroner's jury was that
he killed Thompson in self-defense.
The Cedar county grand jury indict-
ed him for murder in the first de-
gree, hence his second arrest.

NO PROBABILITY OF A STRIKE

This mornings St. Louis Repub bile
says the conference between the of.
ficials of the Missouri Pacific railroad
and the grievance committees of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors
and the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen will be brought to close
esrly this week, and there is every
reason to believe that the employees
will not get all that they demanded.
The grievance committee in the Broth
erhood of Railroad Conductors asked
to have conductor reinstated. The
demand has not been acceded to.
There are other points at issue.
Mr.. b. B. Ray, the courteous chair
man of the grievance committee from
the conductors organization, when
seen by Republic reporter last night,
declined to give any facts concerning
what has been done by his committee,
but said:
''There is not the slightest posi-
bility of a strike. Rumors that there
would be a strike have caused us a
great deal of annoyance. Our bust
ness is such that it can be amicably
and expeditiously settled. The man
agement of the Missouri Pacific has
always treated the employees fair and
has given us no cause for dissatisfac-
ton. There is no mere popular rail-
road official than General Manager
Silas III. III. Clark"

The Great Northern tracklayers are nine
teen miles from this city and coming at the
/ rate of a mile per day. The crew is large
and is pushing the track faster than at any
time since the work commenced. The big
bridge across the North Fork river in Bad
Rock canyon will be in shape to let the
track over when it reaches that point.
Track crews will be put to work on the west
end. commencing at Sand Point. and an
effort is to be made to CROSS the Cabinet
mountains with the iron this winter. From
the east the iron cannot be laid further
! than Twohy's tunnel for two months yet,
and the company will gain time by pushing
the track from the west end.
The Northern Pacific surveyors have
located seventeen miles Of the line between
Columbia Falls and the coal mines, and
moved camp to Canyon Creek. A sur
prisinRly easy line was found to the coal
fields. The Northern Pacific has conn.,
pleted its survey from Flathead lake to this
