WOMEN AS OFFICEHOLDERs.

GUTHRIE, Ok, April 22.-Chief Justice
Greene, sitting as district judge, yesterday
rendered decision in the contested cleo
tion cases, in which there were four con-
testants for the office of register of deeds
The regularly elected officer was Miss
Cora V. Delhi, young lady living near
this city. The former register of deeds
refused to deliver the books, and con-
tested her right to hold the Office on the
ground that she, being a woman and not
being entitled to vote, could not hold
such an office The organic act of the ter
ritory provided that the legislature shall
prescribe the qualifications of voting and
holding office, but in the rush of the
capital fight the legislature neglected to
do so. There was then no statutory quail
fications for holding office. This brought
the judge face to face with the question
whether in the absence of statute a woman
can hold the office of register of deeds. 1t
was held that she was entitled to the
office, and further that woman may in
the absence of statute hold any Office not
incompatible with her sex; that the Office
of register of deeds, being a purely
ministerial Office, might well be held by Il
lady, and to this OBJECT cited a case in
which the opinion was delivered by Judge
Brewer, then on the supreme bench of
Kansas, where lady was held eligible to
the office of county superintendent. Judge
Greene criticised the common impression
that to hold Office one must be voter,
holding that they were functions separate
and distinct

GRAIN GAMBl Frs.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22-There was a
sad crowd of shorts yesterday as a result
of the two days furry in wheat, but none
would tell of their losses. 1t is known
that speculator who deals with Eppinger
was short 10000 tons, on which his losses
will amout to at least 100000. Other
brokers have lost from 5000 to $50, ,0O0
The chief winner is George w. McNear,
grain king of California, who cleans up
$500, ,000 and probably more. Starr & Co,
a large milling firm, are credited with
100000 and William Dresbach with $780,
600 Dresbach made $3.50, 0O0 on wheat
charters and invested this in wheat at
S1.50, which he dumped at profit of so
cents per Genital He is the same man who
acted with Rosenfeld as brokers for the
bonanza millionaires, Flood and Mackay
when they tried to corner the worlds
wheat market, and dropped SO, ,000, 900 each
in the game. DreSbach failed then for
about StG00,000, but he soon got on his
feet again.

WESTERN ASSOCIATION.
TIE TExAO AIIIANCF

WACO. Tex, April 22-Great interest
was manifested today in Alliance circles
here over DR.. G. w. Macune, father of the
sub-treasury scheme, not only by the AL
lance men, but many citizens who attend
ed the meeting to hear him unfold the
doctrine of supplying men with legal ten
der. He challenged any man to oppose
the scheme, and confine himself to the
truth. He read from manuscript v1ndl-
cation Of his actions. in part defending his
management of the Texas exchange, the
National Alliance, and the campaign now
in progress for financial reform. He stated
that his ection in the Georgia senatorial
contest mad been approved by the lnvesti-
eating committee; but y. ;. Hall, OF Mis-
souri,, disagreed with the committee, and
had been trying to excuse such disagree
ment by attacks on him (Macune) through
the press. He fully covered his pet scheme,
opposing the plan of Cleveland to pile up
money in the treasury.
The afternoon was devoted to addresses
by NJ. w. Wilkins, of Kansas, editor of
the American Non-ConformisU. His adj
dress was constructed as strict third
party speech. He denounced the
monopolists who were treading on the
rights of the farmers, who had been led to
the polls to vote against their own interests.
He tried te work up great enthusiasm in
this way, in which he was, to some extent.
successful.

kIHE EAlR AND SUNDAY.

DEs MONIES, Ia, April 22-The Iowa
conference of Unitarians yesterday passed
q series Of resolutions on the opening Of
the worlds fair on Sunday. The resolu-
tions recognize in the approaching Co
lumbar exhibition an opportunity for the
advancement of religious thought and feel
ing as well as for the promotion of COM
merce and art, and that, therefore, we are
anxious that it may be so directed as 20
form an object lesson in religious frater-
nifty as well as affording an opportunity to
the thousands of visitors to hear the great
religious teachers of the world and to
study the methods and work up as wide
range of religious organizations, both
within and without Christianity, therefore
they suggest that the management at the
exposition be requested TO open the gates
of the fair Sunday, if practicable, at re-
duced admission fee, for the study of the
art and educational exhibits and for at
tendance upon the various services, lee
lures and sermons that may be conducted
under the auspices Of such religious organ
izstions as may avail themselves of the op-
portunity. providing that these organiza-
tions provide themselves with suitable ac-
commodations, assume all expense and
conform to such regulations as may be
necessary to secure good order and equal
privileges of all faith and fellowship"

Mrs. Grants China.

When General U. S. Grant was plain Ny.
Grant and lived in Galena, Ills, the ladies
of that place gave series Of tea parties.
The Grants were comparatively new people
there and were invited to all of them. Soon
the invited guests returned the compliment
to their entertainers. Mr.. Grant noticed
that his wife was much distressed about
something at that time, and finally she
told her husband that she was worried be-
cause she could not give tea party as her
neighbors had done.
But why not, my dear'" asked her hus-
band, who, manlike, never thought OF
household details.
II have no china tea set, answered Mrs.
Grant, "and could never think of giving a
tea party without nice china"
A few days after the conversation Mr..
Grant told his wife that she would soon be
able to give her tea party.
Il dreamed last night" he said with mis-
usual grim humor, that we were sur
rounded with the most beautiful china
dishes; they covered the whole landscape
as far as l could see, and you stood IN their
midst admiring them"
The very next day Grants order to report
at headquarters was received, and Mrs
Grants fondness for fine china soon had a
chance 10 be grasifed. She has possibl
forgotten the circumstances, but the neigh
Dor TO whom she related the incident has a
lively remembrance of il. And, strangely
enough. dreaming of china is said to be-
token sudden rise in life and extreme
good fortuue.-Deuroit Free Press

SHALLOW-HEARTE

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The census
Office is just now stirred by peculiar
social sensation. Everybody in the office
is talking about it, and no wonder. Such
a romance has not been developed in any
government department for many moons
The young lady in the case is fair, quiet,
modest, and but little past the school
girl age. She had broken neither her own
nor any young mans heart when she be-
came census Office girl. She had not
known what 1t was to have a best young
man. But in official life she matured rap
idly. Two clerks, both in the census Office,
were smitten simultaneously. They paid
assfduous court. One was accepted, and
relations took on the state which shortly
precedes matrimony Suddenly the young
lady changed her mind and broke the en-
gagement with her lover. A few evenings
afterward she walked out of her pleasa Mt
home, met her other admirer, accompanied
him to a clergyman's house and was mar
ried. She returned that same evening to
her parents. The next day both were at
their accustomed places in the census
office But before the sun set the young
wife had taken hard-headed old lawyer
into her confidence.
She said she had discovered that she did
not want to be married to that man, and
the lawyer must get her a divorce right
away. She said this in the most innocent
and matter of-fact way. The lawyer heard
the whole story, and then informed the
strange heroine that she fiad no grounds
whatever for divorce. He advised that she
accept the situation and try to make a
good wife Advice was wasted on the
charmingly inconsistent creature The
tighter she found the bonds the more
earnest she became in declaring they
should be broken. She straightway made
up with the lover whose engagement she
had discarded, and vowed he was the man
she wanted and the man she would have.
He promptly accepted the situation and
valiantly declared he would wait till the
other marriage was broken legally, and
then claim her as his bride That is the
romantic way in which things stand. The
girl and the two young men are all in the
census Office. The husband and wife are
Ia separate buildings, and the lover who is
waiting is in the same building with the
wife. All of the rest OF the 800 census
girls are so interested in discussing the
story that they can hardly keep the ma
chimes going 1t seems to be a case of
hypnotism. But which of the three is the

THE EBEATTYMURDER TRIAL.

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
ANTHONY, Kan, April 22.-The cele-
brated Beatty murder trial came to close
at midnight last night, by the jury bring
ing in a verdict of acquittal, and at
o'clock this morning James NJ. Beatty
took the train east for Iowa. This case, in
brief, is as follows: About two years ago
James w. Hutchinson was found
one morning in his house killed by being
shot. The window screen showed powder
marks, and piece of an EAGLE used for
wadding, was taken from the body.
Beatty was arrested that morning, wear
ing a shoe that, by peculiar break in the
leather, made footprints exactly like steps
which were found leading to Hutchinson's
house and away again. The wadding
fitted torn EAGLE found in Beatty's
house, fitting line to line word to word,
and the lines Of tearing were identical.
Beatty was tried that fall and found guilty
of murder in the first degree. He was
sentenced to death and taken to Leaven-
worth An application was made to the
supreme court for new trial, which was
granted and has resulted in acquittal.
Messrs. Cherry and Shepard have defended
Beatty with skill and hard work, while
Messrs. Inckley, McMahOn and County
Attorney Beebe and son have represented
the state equally well.
James G. Allison, court stenographer,
died this morning of Bright's disease, and
the body was taken to their former home
in Mckinney, Tex. Mrs. Allison was a
classmate of Judge G.. w. Mckay, at the
University of Urbana, Ill.

A GuNROAT RIOWN LID

SAN FRANCISCO. April 22-Private ad-
vices from Valparaiso, by steamer from
Panama, report the blowing UP of the
wooden gunboat Pilcomayo belonging to
the insurgents. The government late one
night sent out a steam launch fitted up as
torpedo boat, with the hope of getting
rid OF some of the ships blocksding the
port The boat steered for a vessel sup
posed TO be the Blanco Encalada, a big
iron-clad that has played havoc with the
port on several occasions. The launch
crept close TO the cruiser, whose crew, never
dreaming of an attack from that quarter,
were trying 10 make out what was going
on III the harbor. where guns and rockets
were being fired in order to attract the at
tentlon of the rebel ships. When close TO
the vessel 1t was discovered that it was the
Plicomayo instead Of the Blanco 1t was
too late TO rectity the mistake, so the tor
pedo was sent on its mission of destruc-
ton. 1t struck the gunboat fair amid
ships and lifted her clear out of the water.
The government claims that the entire
crew OF the gunboat numbering I35 men
were lost. The rebels state that thirty OF
the crew. including the captain. were
picked up by one of the boats Of the in
surgeDts crew.

The Charm of EnEenis's Face.

thought the front face unpleasant and full
of glaring defects It's under part was the
reverse of oval. and appropriated TO the
pear shape Of Louis Pnihppe's visage- The
nose at the nostrils was very wide, and at
the bridge so extremely narrow as almost
to De unsightly. Her eyebrows rose far TOO
high above the inner corners OF the eyes
and fell much too low az the outer ones.
The eyelids seemed drawn down along with
them.
She had a very poor forehead and the
uarrowness of the face across the eyes
showed that the mass OF brain behind was
too limited In quantity and had nst, such
as il was, room for easy play. All these
defects have become Sccen.uated- But

JOHN BULL OEFIED.

LONDON, April 22-Advices received here
from Bathurst, the capital of Gambia,
seem to show that Great Britain has an
other little war upon her hands. The
native king of Gambia has committed and
allowed to be committed number OF
depredations and abuses upon British
colonists. An English envoy was sent the
king to warn him to behave himself. The
king had the envoy seized and bound. Por-
tons of the envoy's cheeks and thighs
were cut out by the kings orders, and
later on the envoy, together with the por-
tions of bis body which had been cut out,
were sent to the British garrison at
Bathurst, with the following message:
This is the kings answer" Three Brit
ish gun boats are on the way 10 avenge
