GOVERNOR STeELE'S RESIGNATION.
Special Disnatch 10 the Daily Eagle.


GUTHRIE o. T, Oct. 17-Rumors of the
resignation of Governor Steele are current
in this city, but can not be traced to re-
liable source. It is hoped that the ru-
mors will not prove true. Governor Steele
has done well-far better than the aver
age man would have done. He found the
territory in a chaotic condition, an hetero-
genous mass He knew none of the resi-
dents intimately and that some of bis ap-
pointments should prove unfortunate was
TO be expected But out of chaos he has
evolved order, and men who allowed their
prejudices to run away with them six
months ago are his friends today. A gen
tlemsn from kingfsher county said that
if Governor Steele had resigned it would
cause universal regret in their county. 1t
is generally known that the governor has
neglected his private business in discharg-
ing the duties OF the Office Of governor of
Oklahoma.
Iater-It is now known positively that
Governor Steele has resigned His letter
OF resignation was forwarded TO the presi-
dent prior TO leaving this city for his trip
TO Indiana.and is said TO have been accept
ed Among those mentioned as likely 10
succeed him sre Judge Sesy, John J. Dill
aud W. p. Hackney. There Will undoubt-
elly be lively contest for the position,
as several localities will present favoriIe.
THE following telegram WAS received by
the EAGLE on Friday night Iuasmuch as
nothing was known at Guthrie of the re-
port that Governor STEELE had resigned,
the dispatch was held fo- verifcation. IN
view of the above from Guthrie, it IS now
printed.-ED EA6LE1

GALLATIN. Tenn, Oct. I7.-Gallatin is In
the throes OF excitement over the trag-
ically sensational denouement of scandal
Of last wear, the publication of which WAS
suppressed at that time on account of the
social prominence q. d connections OF the
parties involved In April, 1880, Miss
Minnie Oyerton of this vicinity gave birth
to child at Bowling Green. KY When
the fact became known it came like a
thunderclap and many refused 10 give
credence to the story. The child lived bat
a few weeks.
Miss Overton claimed that she bad been
seduced by Samuel X Elliott, a popular
young man of this county, whose father
was Attorney General l. r. Elliott, an
eloquent lawyer and preacher. She said
that he had accomplished her ruin six
years ago and had several times saved her
from disgrace by means OF medicines.
Finding that she was about TO become "A
mother, she left home. Ostensibly on a
visit to friends at Columbus, Tenn, but
went to Bowling Green, where the child
was born.
Elliott. while admitting his relations
with her, denied that be was her seducer,
and claimed that other men had been in-
innate with her He refused to marry
her, and would not leave the country when
threatened with death by her father and
two brothers, and for months everyone
feared personal encounter, but nothing
came of it, and the matter quieted down.
In the meantime Miss OyertOn left here,
aud is now thought to be living in Texas.
This afternoon, after eighteen months
had elapsed. the scandal was revived IN
the most sensational manner. Elliott was
in the store of A. Witherspoon. when Mrs.
Overton, the mother of the girl, entered.
and walking up to Elliott, without a
word, dashed the contents of d large bottle
of vitriol or sulphuric acid into his face.
In ten minutes his left eye was entirely
destroyed and it is thought that his other
eye will be lost, while his face was horribly

submitted the following, which were unan-
imously adopted:
Whereas, Hon. George W. Steele has

LEAVeNWORTh,s BOOM.

LEAvENwoRTH. Kan Oct. 7.-An exec
Utive committee of the citszens of this city
today accepted the proposition of the
Judson Pneumatic Railway and Manu-
featuring company to erect here a COM
pressed air plant, ten miles of street rail-
way and their man ufactories, the railway
and manufactures to be operated by COM
pressed air. In consideration for all this
citizens of Leaven worth agreed to give the
Judson company s250.000 worth of proper
ty when the work is done and the railway
and manufactures are operating satisfac-
torily. This will be the first extensive
compressed air plant on this continent.
Compressed air is extensively used in
Paris for power for machinery, and there
is no doubt of its success. Leavenworth
has an unlimited field of excellent coal.
Our coal mines give a daily yield of 100,-
600 bushels of coal and sell steam coal to
manufacturers for so cents per ton and
lump coal at the rate of 81 621s per ton.
With the completion of this compressed
air plant for furnishing this new and
cheap power, nothing can prevent this
place from becoming a manufacturing
city of great Importance. The labor of
securing this plant has been great, and to
the untiring efforts of Hon. Alexander
Caldwell and the Leavenworth Daily
Times is due the success of the under

HELP BUT DON'T coeRcE.

To help nature in its efforts to throw
off the trammels o disease is. of course,
the legitimate method of medication. This
method is, unfortunately, too often di-
verged from and help perverted into coer-
con Drastic. excessive, purging is un-
doubtedly the most frequent form OF
coercion of this sort The bowels are
forced, literally wrenched into action. Of
course this is accompanied with much
gripping pain, and succeeded by exhaus-
tion, which leaves the organs of evacula-
ton in state incompatible with subse-
qusnt regularity and activity. The last
state OF that man or woman who uses
drastic cathartics for constipation is de-
cidedly worse than the first Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is the finest laxative in
existence, since 1t produces the needful

abrupt in operation, and strengthens in
stead of weakening the organs upon which
