To the credit of the present admin

that sure enough mandamus, much
less an alleged threatened one, would
not displease it just now.
With reference to!a rumpus, they are
more disposed to court it than other
wise, as there is a prevailing belief
that any disruption will result in
placing some defeated democrats in
line with their running mates. 1t is
claimed that there are few hidden
facts, which if the sunlight we're
turned on, would make Dexter treas

FIRE AT WINDSOR.
Several Business Houses De-
strOyed.

The fire bug did another complete
job in Windsor on Monday night.
Fire was first discovered about 1915
at the rear of McCleverty's two-story
frame building. This house was un.
dergoing repairs, and would have been
occupied this week by the millinery
establishment of Williams & Jackson,
of Clinton.
From this house fire communicated
to the old Citizens Bank building on
the north and the Schwab building on
the south. The FIRE walls of the
latter would have saved it, bad it not
been for doorway in the upper story,
about the center of the side wall. The
bank building is badly damaged, but
covered by insurance. The bank was
removed across the street several
months ago. The second story was
owned by B. W. Huey, pilot ,grapher.
His insurance on building is $500, ard
will probably cover loss. His stock
and apparatus is insured for $500.
Loss, about 5000.
Richardson q Son, harness, saddles.
buggies, etc., in lower story, are bad
ly damaged by water, dirt and smoke.
The Schwab building is thought to be
fully covered. squires & Arnold, lite
occupants will be the heaviest losers.
Their entire stock of hardware, stovess
buggies, in fact everything, with ex-
ception of a few nails and other small
items, we're entirely destroyed. Their
loss is between $4,000 and $1,000,
with only 81, 800 insurance. Mr..

OKLAHOMA.
The Great Race Which Took
Place at Noon To-Day
Scenes at kingfisher.

Kingfsher, Oklahoma. April 49,
Especial to the BAzoo. ]-At II O'Clock
to-day the Cheyenne and Arapshoe
lands were thrown open and made
part of Oklahoma. There are now
fifty thousand or more people on them
engaged in a mad race for land.
All day yesterday and last night,
the scenes in and around Kingf her
were stirring and novel in the extreme.
Yesterday, Thousands of horsemen
and hundreds of horse women could
be seen III and around king6sher
speeding and trying their horses for
the race and that sort of practice con-
tlnued far into the night.
There were fast race horses here
from Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee. Two of the most noted
horses of Kansas were here.
Last night there were thousands of
people camped on the line above and
below this place, and the camp fires
blszed wildly in every direction.
Dances, songs and shouts were heard
along the long line until long after
midnight. A negro colony north OF
town sang plantation melodies nearly
all night.
This morning dawred dull and gray
with . mist falling and q stiff north
wind blowing.
At daylight this morning there
were $50 men in line at the land Of
fee waiting to file at II o'clock.
In the presence Of assembled thous-
ands the signal was given and the
mad race began between race horses,
plugs ox-teams and footmen. Every
thing has passed off pesceably so far,
but b!oodshed and riot are feared at
the land office later.

MISSING MYRTLE.
She is Still UndiscOve red-NO
Place in Columbus for
Cornell.

A dispatch from Columbus, o.,
dated Yesterday, says:
at is two weeks to-day since Miss
Myrtle Sturtevant left her home here
and she is still lest. A Columbus
travelling man says she was an inmate
of a Cincinnati house ON Thursday
last. II wss also reported that she
was living in house of IL quite here,
but all these rumors are found to he
false. The police here and in Cincin-
natl take little stock in Cornell, the
girls lover. He is vain and pompous,
and it is thought he knows more
about the matter than ne
is willing to tell. He now says that
the girl left him note when she went
away, abusing him. Why he does
not say. A dispatch from Cincinnati
says that Cornell to-day received a
letter from some one in Memphis,
Tenn, evidently lady, as the writ
ing on the envelope showed, and that
he hurridly put it in his breast pocket.
The papers are full of rumors, and
Connell is getting roasted. Unless
he succeeds in finding the young lady
Cornell had better give Columbus a
wide berth.

SALE OF THE POST.DISPATCH.

Rumors have been rife for some
time past about the sale of the POST
Dispatch, it being generally under
stood that Mr.. Pulitzer is anxious to
get nd OF tine paper. About six
months ago sale was reported to have
been effected through the st. Louis
Brokers, Messrs. Kohn IL Co., and
the recent reorganization of the COM
pony under a new name has given
color to the rumors either of a sale
accomplished or of sale impending.
Some months ago, according to ru-
NOR, Governor Francis was negotiat-
ing for purchase through Sir Charles
Gibson, but while the matter was con-
sidered. it is understood that. nothing
came Of it. There was difference OF
opinion as to the price. Rumor had it
that 5000, 900 had been offered, while
$3.50, 900 was asked, and consequently
that the parties could not come to-
gether.-St. Louis Republic.

A FEW THOUGHTS.
Why don't more girls, who are
brought up to nolhiug useful and who
are too tired to 60 to church, because
they have been allowed to make fools
of themselves, 60 to destruction?
Why don't society put a stop to
this fad. which is andangerins tho
lives and morals of young wOmanhOOd
by trying to make them athletes, and
teach them that good cooking is the
demand OF the day?
Why can't there be more old "gran-
nies" among the physicians, who will
prohibit violent exercise, which for an
hour or Two keeps the blood IN q
boiling state, aud then turns it out to
cool in an atmosphere that is slipping
along toward zero, and-why can't
everybody have more sense and less
running after perfectly lovely
things which are not worth tiukers
cent toward making a good and noble
woman. and which would make q
''silly" out of even yours, NELL.

BLOOD SPUTS
Visible for a Square on Ohio
Street This Morning.

Those who were up with the sun
this morning were not little startled
when confronted with evidences that
a crime of the cold-hlooded kind had
been perpetrated during the night.
The first to discover traces of blood
which were plainly visible on the east
side of Ohio street, extending from
Sicher's hotel to a point Immediately
opposite the First National bank, was
soon surrounded by a score of people,
who joined in tracing the CORY spots
which appeared at intervals Of about
two feet on the sidewalk.
THE POLICE AROUSED.
Expressions Of every description
and kind escaped the lips of the awe
stricken crowd, which had been so
unceremoniously brought together.
One lady volunteered to fathom the
mystery, and when asked to explain
said she had hesr1 the report of a
pistol during the night, which was
Immediately followed by the voice
of man, who in breathless
agony exclaimed "My God, l am
shot" She then head foot steps as
though his assailan;s were rapidly re-
treating.
The police as usual were alert
and left no stone unturned. The
air was thick with surmises
and suspicious. One man said be saw
two men in an angry dispute, during
which one Of them said he would shoot,
and put his hand on his hip. This
party left then.
AT the end of the trail was
found pool of blood, and Just around
the corner lay dog suffering and
badly wounded.

LIFE AND LOVE.


Life,s a fabric of fancies, whims, dreams,
silhouettes,
interviewer with pleasures and papgs-
smiles and sighs
Lcve is simply tissue of tears and regrets,
Lost delights, bitter bliss, broken hearts,
weeping eyes,
Yet, withal, there are passions conceived
and confess'd.
Come what may throughout life, whose
sweet fragrance may cling
Like the breath of rose that is kissed and
caress'G--
Around hearts, tho Fate crude disillusions
may bring.
Nor does love dream that Destiny oft holds
in store
Certain bitterness, cleverly hidden from
view;
Even So I still worship. still fondly adore
You-my life and my love-and / am
loyal to you.
