THE RATE TO ENVFR.

CHICAGO, July 26-Chairmau Caldwell
of the Western Passenger association has
decided that the Atchison road has no
right to make rate of $l2 from Chicago
TO Denver and return on account of the
Knights Templars' conclave. At special
meeting of the association this afternoon
the chairman announced that he had ar
rived at a decision and would read it TO
the members, but the AtchiSOn represen-
tative objected. on the ground that the
rules required all decisions to be printed
end copies sent under cover to the mem
bers The chairman overruled the objec-
ton, whereupon the Atchison man left
the meeting. The ruling was then read.
1t declared that the company had failed to
show sufficient Justification for the notice
given, and that the Sl2 rate could not be
authorized.
After the adjournment of the meeting
the general passenger agents of all the ln-
terested lines, except the AtchiSon, held
conference. A committee was appointed
to make application to Chairman Caldwell
for an order affording the represented
roads relief as against the S12 rate of the
Atchison. 1t is evident from this that
there is no hope that Chairman CaldwelPs
decision will prevent the reduced rates
going into effect. IL is claimed, in fact,
that the Santa Fe's Sl2 tickets are already
upon sale and that some of them have
been bought. The company will probably
appeal from the chairman's ruling; but
before the question can be arbitrated, the
mischief Will have been done. Then, if the
chairman be sustained, the Atchison will
be forced TO choose between two alterna-
tives-get out of the association, or turn
over to that body the total revenue derived
from the business done at Sl2.

A TENNESSEE TERROR.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 25.-Putnam
county has the most desperate outlaw
known in Tennessee for many years. His
name is Johnson Sloane, and he is an ex-
postmaster. He was indicted for robbing
the mails and last Friday killed one of ;ne
deputy marshals who went to arrest him.
After the killing be rode into Cookville, the
county seat Of Putnam, and terrorized the
whole town. Stores were closed and busi-
ness suspended until he left. He ran the
postmaster out of town and made the sher-
if follow suit. Since then he has been at
his home with six ready Winchester rifles,
defying arrest. United States Marshal c.
B. Harrison, brother of President Harri-
son. is on the ground and has gotten the
sheriff to organize a posse of 100 men, of
which he and deputy marshal are lead
ers. They expect to make an attack, and
no one doubts that a number of men will
be killed

THE OKLAHOMA CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON, July 26 6-Delegate Harvey
and Governor Seay of Oklahoma are in re-
ceipt of a large number of kilograms from
their constituents, protesting against the
provision inserted In the amendment 10
the deficiency bill by the committee on ter
ritories prohibiting the territorial legisla-
ture from moving the capital from Guth-
rie. This clause in the amendment was
vigorously protested against by Governor
Seay in his various conferences with the
committee, but was inserted, it is alleged,
at the iustigation of the attorney OF the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
company Governor Seay, in discussing
the matter, said:
Il objected to that provision from
wholly disinterested standpoint. The ac-
cusation has been made against me that
inasmuch as live at Kingfisher and have
built home there l desire the capital
removed to kingfisher; and since Guthrie
has been interested, have heard it rumor-
ed that | had thrown the other towns
overheard for some sinister reason or other
of my own. To settle the matter shall
take with me written statements from
Senator platt, Mr.. Washing on, the chair
man of the house committee on territories,
and others, setting forth that the provis-
ion was inserted against my protest. As
for the first charge that L want thc capital
TO go to kingfisher, it is the veriest bun
CDnDt- i DOU q IL L
can not succeed honestly will step down
and out. Nor is Kingfisher by any means
the only competitor for the capital. There
are Oklahoma and Ell Reno and one or two
other towns that want it. My
object in objecting WAS based upon ques-
tion OF law. The organic act Of the terri
tory distinctly states that the capital shall
be at Guthrie until the succeeding legisla-
ture definitely decides where it shall be
permantly located. That legislature has
not yet been elected. For the committee
OF the house to step in now and override
The organic act, which allows the people of
the territory to settle the question to their
own satisfaction, conveys an assumption
that the people are either incompetent or
dishonest, and against that assumption l
protest. Personally | am content to let
he capital remain where it is. | would do
even if had the power. | am glad l am
relieved of any responsibility in the
natter. But let the people in Oklahoma
settle that. They are fully able, I'll war
ant, and honest"
Mr.. Harvey feels hopeful of inducing the
committee to recede from its position on
he capital question, but tie chances of
uccess must be considered very slight. 1t
nay be that the house, when the deficiency
ill comes back from the conference COM
nittee may see the justice of the plea, but
n the anxiety for adjournment which
governs the majority of the members Of
he house long explanations and argu- |
nents will in all likelihood fall upon un-
ymDathetic ears.

For Forty Years Man Tracks tho hIur-
deror OF His Wife.
After a patient, weary search extend
ing over the western continent, and
covering period of nearly forty years,
Charles Hartley, of Oswego, n. Y,
few days ago at this point ended
period in his eventful life by arresting
Allen Hartley, a cousin. charged with
the murder of his wife quite two score
years ago. says an Ellenwood (B. c. cor
respondent Of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
The man arrested is an old resident
of this city, having lived here nearly
twelve years. He served two terms as
mayor and has been successful in the
accumulation Of comfortable fortune.
-Four years ago he married a well known
lady of this place. Back of it is a story
tinged with romance and sullied by a
crime so remarkable in its details that
it furnishes a chapter in criminal his
tory.
Allen Hartley is now an old man OF
nearly seventy. When his locks were
raven and his beard was young he mar
ried a charming young lady, the belle
of the small interior town in New York,
where both resided. Charles Hartley,
the cousin, who, after such a lapse
of years, caused the arrCst of Al
len, was an unsuccessful suitor. Though
denied all hope by the marriage of his
cousin with the girl, he still loved, and
this flame, kept burning through the
years, caused the tracking down and ar
rest Of tha yxi fa ,-,ur3arer
Thirty-nine years ago next May Hart

and at the same time informed them

freely made, but there were none 70

MISSOURI CROPS,

COLUMBIA. Mo-, July 26.-The weather
crop bulletin of the Missouri weather
service says that the past week has given
more than the average amount Of sun
shine and continued excess of Uempera-
ture. These elements, while conducive to
the steady prosecution of haying, harvest
ing, threshing, stacking, wedding and the
rapid growth of corn, have been detrimen-
tai to potatoes, other vegetables and ami
NAL life. The rainfall was confined to
local sho Eers and was generally INSULT
cient. especially in the southern and ex-
treme western counties, where an irilme-
diate general rain is needed to facilitate
the growth and maturing of potatoes,
other vegetables and late corn. Consid-
ering the immediate general need of the
growing crops, the weather is much too
hot and dry, corn being about the only
thing benefited by so intense heat, and
late plants need rain badly. The southern
counties report cotton as improving very
rapidly.
