BOYCOTT THREATENED


II the Worlds Fair Managers Decide to
Open the Gates on Sunday.
CHICAGO, May 5.-In case the exposi-
ton gates are opened Sunday, 1t is re-
ported that the word for boycott will
be telegraphed far and wide among
the religious organizations Of the coun-
try and that a determined effort will
be made to destroy the financial pros
poets of the show, in order that tell
ing blow may be struck against the
non-obscrvance Of the Sabbath at fu-
ture expositions.
The great hotels which have been
erected in Chicago by representatives
OF various national religious organiza-
tions will be the greatest sufferers II a
boycott is declared, and the managers
are in state of dire alarm over the
prospect. 1t is known that thousands
of members of the Christian Endeavor
society throughout the country, and
especially in Ohio, have signed pledges
to boycott the exposition II II opens on
Sunday.
Men who are well informed regard
ing religious journalism in America de-
clare that fully three-fourths of the
weekly newspapers Of this class will
join in urging people to stay away from
Chicago.

On the calling of the Arnold case to re-
new bail, Mr.. Arnold was sick and unable
to appear in court, but bail was fixed at
the same amount fixed by the probate
Judge. We have no desire to interfere
with justice in any way, but unless the
state can produce additional evidence of
guilt we are inclined to think the case
had better be dropped from the docket.
1t has been ably fought on both sides. To
repeat 1t without additional evidence and
thus saddle $4,000 expense upon the

THE ALIEN CONTRACT LAW.
Important Decision by the superintendent

Important Decision by the Superintendent
of Immigration.
WASHINGTON, May b.-Superintend-
ent Of immigration Stump has made an
important decision in the case OF an ap-
peal from the ruling Of the commits
sioner of immigration. New York in
the matter of a number OF Italian inn
migrants. The commissioner had re-
fused 10 allow seven of them to land
on the ground that their landing would
be in violation of the alien contract
labor law. They appealed to Superin-
tendent Stump, who, on looking into
the cases, sustained the commissioner,
as far as three Of the immigrants were
concerned, IL appearing that they had
entered into contract with member
Of firm in New York before they left
Italy.
As TO the other men he found they
had not entered into any contract, but
had left Italy on an understanding
that boss on railroad in the United
States could furnish employment to
more men II he had them. There was
no contract expressed or implied In any
way, and the men were accordingly ad-
mitted. This seems TO disclose a loop
hole in the contract labor law through
which large numbers Of laborers can
be imported into the country II there Is
no agreement of any kind entered into
on the other side, but they are simply
given to understand that there is work
for them to do on this side as soon as
they come over.

oniclal Figures Showing the Number of
Removals and Appointments Since March
Z, 1893.
WASHINGTON, May ga statement
prepared from the records Of the post
Office department shows that dur
ing the first two months Of the present
administration the total number Of
fourth-class postmasters appointed was
1884, as against 5,1O4 made during the
first two months of Mr. Harrison's ad-
ministration. The number Of appoint
ments made during the last two
months TO fill vacancies caused by res
ignations and deaths was 1855, as
against 1,6Os made during the corre-
spending period Of the last administra-
tion.
The number OF removals made during
the last two months is shown TO have
beeen only 1909, while the number Of
removals made during the first two
months Of the Harrison administration
reached 3,496. The excess Of appoint
ments four years ago was therefore
1910 and the excess Of removals 9,2ss,
while the number Of appointments on
account Of designations and deaths,
was LOTT more than four years ago.
In view Of the many misstatements
which have been made In the press
concerning the number and causes Of
changes being made In fourth-class
post Offices, the foregoing figures are
regarded as interesting.

TERAGS.
On Nav the eeary Chinese Exclusion

On May the Geary Chinese EXCLUSION
law, passed by Congress year ago, went
into force. 1t extends for ten years the
laws forbidding the Chinese to come into
the country and requires all Cinnamon
now in the country to have a certificate OF
residence obtained within the year, under
penalty OF expulsion. Cinnamon entering
in violation of the law are liable to arrest
and imprisonment and afterwards Of de-
portation. But few hundred of the 1O3,-
600 Cinnamon now in this country have
registered, the remainder obeying the
orders not to do so OF the Chinese Six
companies. If they should be arrested
and convicted under the provisions of this
law, there is no appropriation for the cost
ly job Of sending them back to China. In
this dilemma it is not probable that the
government will undertake any radical
measures. One Chinaman was arrested
in New York last week and bis case will
be used to test the constitutionallty of the
law.

CHICAGO, May 5.-Erastus N. Fay.
secretary of the Consolidated Gold and
Silver Mining Company, was taken to
St. Louis last night on o requisition,
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses. 1t is claimed that
Fay's alleged companion in crime, VIII
liam Whalen, has swindled the public
out of over 100000, The Consolidated
Gold and Silver Mining Company, OF
Chicago, was Incorporated in 1886 with
a capital stock of $50, 600, 900. The pres
ident was William Whalen, while Eras-
tus N. Fay acted as secretary and treas
urer. A large number of the shares OF
the $50, 100000 issue were sold at s9b
and $40, reaching in value probably
$4OO 0OO The company claimed to con-
troll nine gold and silver mines and
eleven copper mines at Eureka, Col.
It is alleged that the Colorado mines
were worthless, having been "salted"
be Whalen. Mr.. Nichols, Of st. Louis,
who had invested S17,500, went out to
see the mines with an expert, and 1t is
said their inspection pronounced the
ore worthless. William Whalen, the
president of the company, was arrested
in st. Louis last January on charge
of swindling, and he was indicted by
the grand jury there and held for trial
under $4,000 bonds. 1t is claimed that
the men paid some dividends out OF the
money taken in, but enriched them
selves by poclSeting the major portion
of it. Fay denies that he is guilty OF
any such CHARGE.

ABOUT THE STRIP.
Another Communication from Geo
Benson About Oklahoma and
the Cherokee Strip.
He Intends to Keep His Friends and Ac-
quaintances Informed as to the De-
velOpment of that Country.

HENNEssEY, Ok, Sept. 8.-Editor Re
PUBLIC: Aiming to keep pace with the
events and inform the many friends of
Sherman county through your paper
every week, I failed to do the latter on
account of my absence from this place
and fatigue from riding horseback near
the strip line to the southeast line
Hundreds of people have collected in
localities all along the line waiting for
the bugle to sound at noon on the 18th
of September.
The leading amuSements are horse
racing and gambling. The class of peo-
pie called ''sooners'' seem to have plenty
of money and feel jubilant over the
prospect of securing the best claims.
After the weary traveller has passed
along the line about II miles east of
HennesSey he is confronted with the
keel knobs or breaks, of the skeleton,
dotted here and there with jack oak
brush, an occasional tall cottonwoon,
drawf oak and scrubby elm trees, which
breaks the monotony of the valleys
Reaching the ascent, you are again
riding across the beautiful prairies,
stretching to the right and left perhaps
One-half or mile wide, only to emerge
again into the deep gulches, ornament
ed with natures greatest gift, the ''keel
knobs" that reach hundreds of feet
above the travellers head, peering into
space beyond.
The products of the bushy land are
water melons and beans, the low lands
for corn, prairie land noted for wheat
The crop of wheat and melons are a
fair crop this year, but corn is a total
failure. Hundreds of acres of corn be-
tween Hennessey has not an ear of corn
within the boundaries of its immense
fields. Through this region the hail
has entirely stripped the stock of it's
foliage, resembling fields of stocks of
two years standing.
On our return trip at Orlando, on the
Santa F'e, news reached us that Mrs. c..
KOnlklin, Mrs. Jennie Konlzlin and Mrs
Carrie Benson would arrive at HenneS-
sey on the night train on the 4th inst,
allowing US One-half of a day to reach
Hennessey, a distance of 30 miles. The
party, feeling that our bachelor days
were to soon end, fastened on their
journey with Captain Ed Konklin in
the lead, squirting the wearied ponies
as they galloped over the red hills and
| through the valleys, reaching Hennes-
sey in time to meet the ladies that we're
to take charge of the culinary depart
ment of the company.
Feeling wearied and worn out from
our trip, will at a future leisure time
continue a brief survey and descrip-
ton of the country travelled over and
its products.
To the numerous inquiring letters
from Sherman county friends, Will
say that cannot possibly write each
one letter, but watch the REPUBLIC
and you will get the news from time to
time. GEO. w. BENSON.

I'M THE POET'S GARDEN

Roses That Tell of Love and Grief-The
Quiet BIodesty Of the Violet.
Conspicuous among the individual
flowers specially honored by sepal ate
poems to themselves are the rose, the
violet, the lily and the daisy, which oc-
cupy in poetic botany the position of
distinction and utility filed, among the
poets birds, by the nightingale, dove,
swan and hnnet, says the Contempor-
airy Review.
The rose is everywhere telling of
passionate love and of grief; the violet,
like the turtle dove, dwells apart in
modest SecluSion, an emblem Of self
satisfying affection. Like the lily
white, silver swan. the flower that gives
it it's epithets is of stately mien and of
spotless robe, thing of ornament and
conscious of its beauty, while the daisy
is like the innet, artless-a pretty wild
ling, supplying the poet with an inno-
cent smile of uncultured grace. and
lending a rural charm to every verse in
which it sings its little simple country
song. They are sweet flowers. all four.
Pride OF place for the rose. Tt is the
universal flower. For it is a native, SO
far as we can tell now. of every CONT
nent. 1t is the foremost flower. For it
is recognized in every country as the
queen OF flowers. It is the flower of all
time For it lives in every Language,
however ancient, and in all of them it
is consecrated to the future and eter-
nifty It is the flower of legend. For
1t is the epitome of the pious traditions
and folklore of the world-whether
christian or pagan-a concordance of
all the faiths and superstitions of the
human kind, of their creduIties and
hopes and fears; the symbol of every
emotion, the ornament of every rite:
honored alike in joy and In grief, bless
ing the cradle, Frightening nuptials
and sanctifying even the grave. No

distinguish it with precedence-the
premier flower of every race, the royal

A STRAW BINDER.

"Jim" Discovers Something at Phillips
burg that is of Interest to Farmers.
Editor REPUBLIC: Having found some
thing at Phillipsburg which I think
would be of much interest to the farm
ers of western Kansas, I send you a
bundle of grain bound by wonderful
attachment, invented by William Doug
las of Phillipsburg. AS my powers of
description are inferior to those of the
editor Of the Phillipsburg Dispatch, [
will give you his version of it.
Through the kindness of Mr.. Douglas we had the
pleasure of inspecting the secret workings of his
straw binder last Monday. 1t is truly curiosity,
and both makes the straw band twists and tuckS
the BAND IN most SueceSsiul manner; MI: Dong
las undoubtedly has solved the problem OF sue
ccssful straw binder will be proven to the pub
lie before our next harvest. The point tha- has
bothered our best mechanics and inventors IS the
separating the band from the bundle and the twist
ing and tuckIng of the band This IS entirely
overcome and the entire machine works like a
charm We congratulate Mr.. Douglas upon his
complete success IN this direction.
Mr.. Douglas is most ably assisted in
his machine shop by his two sons, who
are both becoming expert machinistS.
This invention will be of great fnan-
cial aid to farmers and they can bid
the binding Irvine trust goodbye.
1t viii also be ''thorn in the flesh
to many a white man who has long been
prejudiced against the colored race, to
think that one Of the race they have
despised, was the first to invent the
straw bender.
Through the courtesy of one OF Mr..
Douglas sons we were shown the first
working model. which they no doubt

although it is in working order as 1t is.

This is an old truth and it has just

the Chicago wheat market has been in
a demoralized condition. Prices have
gone steadily downward until the best
grade was sold at 63 cents a bushel. the
lowest price on record in that market
Last Saturday, however, saw an upward
tendency. The price advanced cents
and WAS frmer than for two weeks
The cause of the advance was found in
the fact that the local banks which had
