"ChiYalrOus!''

An exciting story Of the rescue from
drowning of japanese, by an Englishman
whose life the japanese himself had set out
to save, is told in japanese paper, The
Kobe Sbimbun. The Englishman was a
resident of Toxic. Being on his way to
Yokohama, and finding no ferryboat, ow
ing to the swollen state of the river, he de-
termined 70 swim across with his clothing
in a bundle tied on his head
The daring attempt attracted a crowd of
sightseers, one of whom, observing that
the stranger was apparently in difficulty,
plunged in and swan to his rescue. The
japanese was good swimmer, but the
waters ran swiftly, his strength gave out
and he was carried down stream. Then
arose a cry from the spectators, for they
saw that the japanese was going to sink.
By this time the Englishman had almost
reached the opposite bank, but when lie
heard the cries of the crowd he turned
about, and seeing the drowning japanese,
he again faced the current, and coming up
with the drowning man, caught him with
one arm and swimming with the other
hand he brought him ashore amid the
cheers of the crowd.
How chivalrous was his actionr' ex-
claims the japanese journalist in conclu-
sion. His name we know not, but he haB
our highest admiration"

STEVENS ON FORT WORTH.
From the Globe-Democrat.

From the Globe-Democrat.
There are men who were born to boom.
Wichita has her Marsh Murdoch, Kansas
City has her Winner, Fort Worth has
her Chamberlain. If there Is a more
startlingly ambitious suburban specula-
ton than Arlington Heights, where is it?
Chamberlain was the secretary of a
Young Mems Christian association in
Rochester. Syracuse, OF some other in
terror New York city. His blood got
thin, his lungs were threatened, and he
came west for his health. Denver was
the place he found best suited to him.

he was intrusted with eastern money for

reputation in central New York, such as
the Granite Mountain mine has in st.

said a quick-spoken man, the type of
young Fort Worth, whose card bore the
inscription, "W. S. Decker, Promoter"
A packing house is not altogether a
novely, and as much was intima lated.
But you want to see John r. Hoxie,"
was argued.
That settled it. The trip to North
Fort Worth was made. John r. Hoxie
is the president of thirty-five Texas
national banks and the owner of the
packing house. In Chicago, st. Louis,
Kansas City and Wichita live stock
circles Hoxie's Fort Worth packing
house is standing riddle. They are all
wondering how long the thirty-five
national banks will be alb G to keep the
packing house going. During the past
year the Indian territory, Kansas and
the Kansas City markets have been in
vaded for hogs to keep the Hoxie pack
ing business In operation. Meantime the
owner sits complacently in the gallery
of hotel, which has accommodations
for 200 stock men, and watches the
walls rising for additional buildings
which will increase the daily capacity of
the packing house to 2,000 hogs, 500
beeves, 800 muttons and 100 calves.
Back of the brand new hotel
Is the brand new stock yards plant
-cover-sheds, runways, barns, scales,
the latest thing in feed racks and q
water system. Packing house, stock
yards and hotel all operate together,
and they represent $1,000, 600 of John
r. Hoxie's and his friends surplus
Armour sent a couple of ex-
perts here from Chicago a short time
ago. They studied Hoxie's plant from
bottom to top: then they studied the
railroad map and the rate sheets of
Texas. and finally they looked at the
country and the country's people. When
they started home Hoxie said TO them:
Tell Armour we are not going to stop
until we have forty acres covered with
The packing industry at Fort Worth
If he he wants to come he can get his
site ROW good deal cheaper than If
he waits year or two" The experts
made their report. but Fort Worth has
not yet found out what it is.
Mr., Hoxie laughed when he was told
Of the disaster the northern packers

IgnatIus DonperIy and Shakespeare.

Ignatius Donnelly is keeping up his
warfare against Shakespeare. He is pre-
pairing a supplementary work On the
great cryptogram" which is to prove
beyond peradyenture that Bacon wrote
Shakespeare's plays. The motive Of Ba-
con in concealing his authorship from
the public, according TO Mr.. Donnelly,
lies in the fact that If it had been known
he were playwright he would have lost
standing. The theater was low in Ba-
cons day, and the production Of plays
was accompanied by scenes which can
not be described in print. But there was
money in plays, and Bacon wanted the
money and utilized Shakespeare 10 get
it. Mr.. Donnelly does not go as far as
DR.. Owens. Of Detroit, who claims that
Bacon murdered Shakespeare and dis
posed Of his remains in a very inhuman
fashion.

THE NICoLAY-M'CLURE BOUT.

Several of the leading papers of the
east have rallied to the support of Col.
Mcclure, of the Philadelphia Times, in
his bout with Col Nicolay, over the
Observation-Disclosures controversy,
among them the Washington Post, The
Post is in position, by virtue of its loca-
ton, to know as much about the facts
and circumstances of the case as anyone,
though 1t speaks as if its conclusions
are drawn from statements made by
others during the pending controversy.
Here is what the Post says:
1.-The selection of candidate was. of
course, the subject of grave and frequent
consultation with the president and
among his trusted friends. Only the
day before the convention Mr.. Lincoln
gave his views to Col. Mcclure. 1t is not
OF record that any of these confidential
interviews were communicated to Mr..
Nlcolay. Even so late as the first dav of
the convention Mr.. Nicolay admits him
self to be SO much in the dark as to the
presidents real views that he teegraphed
ever to Washington for information. The
natural response from Mr.. Lincoln was
that he was not meddling with the vice
presidential nomination. That the con-
Fention already knew. if Mr. Nicolav did
not, what he thought best to do, what he
deemed most advantageous to the Union
cause, what would best accord with the
Union sentiment of the assembled dele
gates, Is amply demonstrated by the final
action of the convention"

PETER says that were it not for the fact
that Kansas has prohibition the Peoples
party would have scored the victory it
did last fall. What he meant to say was
the prohibitory law, not prohibition, and
in that he was for once correct. But for
the Resubmission disaffection in the Re-
publican party it would have succeeded
with something like its usual majority.
And yet there are those who would con-
tinue to jeopardize the success of the
party and the best interests of the state
by insisting upon continuing the hypo-
critical attempt to maintain the fraud.

1t is Observation-Disclosures, which means

Guthrie News: The last congress before
its close made all the lands in Oklahoma
agricultural lands. The homesteader will
not be required TO make the non-mlneral
affidavit as he did when this country was
first opened. The affidavit requires the
settler to swear that no mineral existed on
the land he wished to enter, and In order
TO make such an affidavit it was necessary
for him to visit the land in person. Now
that this will be unnecessary, why not make
the filing bold paramount to any and all
claims, settlement or otherwise? This
would also do away with great deal OF
the frauds in soldier declaratory state
ments and also prior settlement Inc
sooner would have no show, contests
would be less frequent, and the lawyers
lot would not be happy one.
Oklahoma Times Journal: The hay
crop is made, and it is good. Not an acre
of hay grass should be allowed TO go to
waste, for hay is cash crop easily put up,
easily held, and easily marketed. Unlike
wheat or other small grain, this crop can
be harvested at any time between the
middle of July and the middle of October,
and it finds ready market at all seasons.
The more hay that is brought TO this
market, which is in good shipping condi-
ton, the better will be the price 1T will
command. If every acre of ground III
Oklahoma were meadow land and
the entire meadow product was thrown
upon the market the price of hay would
not be affected in the least. From the
south line of the Indian territory to Dallas
and Fort Worth is asplendid hay country,
but the local demand is SO great that
scarcely any is ever shipped. South of
Dallas and Fort Worth no hay is produced
That country must be supplied with hay,
and Oklahoma is the nearest region from
which hay can be procured. Our competi
tors in the southern hay markets live
farther north, which gives the Oklahoma
farmer decided advantage. Make hay
If you cannot make a fortune out of it you
can make at least good wages, which will
be far better than moping around and
complaining of hard times. Aim TO make
at least few dollars ont of your hay.
Fifty or SIS, the price of eight or twelve
tons of hay, Will almost buy the winter
clothes for an average family, and 1t will
save just that much out OF your cotton
money. Put up hay. Every dollar you
get out of it will be just so much saved.

Uncle Sans credit is being clearly
demonstrated by the way in which the
extension of bonds is being eagerly ac-
cepted. Two per cent interest is the low
est government rate on record and it was
thought investors would be shy to ac-
cept 1t. But their acceptances are COM
ing SO fast that the treasury officials can
not keep abreast of the demands. All
of the office force engaged in issuing
bonds worked two hours extra time last
night and this overtime will be kept I'D
until the bonds are out of the way. 1t
has shown also that President Harrison
was right when he said he thought the
governments credit was good for a Il
per cent rate. The Chicago News saws
the Chicago National hank was one of
the first TO have its stock of bonds re-
funded, and this included not only the
bonds owned by it, but those held bv
several Wisconsin and other northwest
ern banks.
