Friends of Oklahoma statehood Satisfied
over Their Progress.
WAsmNGroN, Dec. 22.-The friends
and supporters of Oklahoma statehood
refused to-day to be taken into pos
sible ambush by those they think they
have reason to suspect When Gen
eral Weaver made his motion to go
into committee of the whole for the
consideration of the New Mexico bill
il was concluded the safe plan to in
sist that the Oklahoma bill be consid-
cred first They believed that il all
those who had been opposed TO Okla
homa statehood had fully acquisesced
that they could snow it by accepting
the proposition TO take up that bill
first aud. on the contrary if all of
those who had been known to be in
opposition had not decided TO be con-
urolled in the matter by the committee
on territories, the only safe plan would
be 70 insist that the oklahoma bill be
cared for before the New Mexico bill
was disposed o..
General Wheeler insisted that all of
those who had formerly heen opposed
~ the Oklahoma statehood bill would
be controlled by the committee, and
that il would be unfair for him to sub
nit to the suspicion that they would
not as yet be embraced in the plan
suggested aud insisted upon by the
Oklahoma friends.
1t appeared that harter of Ohio,
would be opposed to any statehood
legislation, and if the New Mexico bill
was allowed to pass, it was feared
that he would he able 10 get enough |

THE MATTER SIZED UP.

nc leTTy gThuu jury mas du uJOuTHcu'
While in session it accomplished the
design mapped out for it. Not that
the grand jury was either prejudical
or partisan-it would be unfair to say
that; not that it was unduly in
fluenced-an intimation that would be
unkind. the jury was equally divided
politically; it received the best charge
ever given a grand jury in the whole
southwest; but yet, with all this in its
favor, it could not be other than biased
to a certain degree.
The jury found an indictment against
Mr.. Malone. This had been adver-
tised and the people thought it was
natural event.
1t was natural event, as circum-
stances have brought out.
Since the jury has adjourned many
facts have come to light. The filing
clerk, llandlan-the man who would
not ans wer questions when before the
Logan county Jury-was proven to
have received as many as a dozen fill
ings in "A day, all out of time and at
$50 per filing This man, Handlan-a a
Republican, by the way, worked this
scheme to perfcction-and the circum-
stances were of such peculiar nature
that all his work could have been per-
formed without either the knowledge
or connivance of Mr.. Malone.
A dozen men would be admitted at
the land office at "A time to make their
entries all clamoring to be first.
llandlan would examine their papers,
pronounce them o. X, and the regis
ter would administer the required
oath. 1t was an easy matter, in this
way, for Mr.. Malone to have permitted
now and then, an extra rlan to get his
fling at an improper time.
In this way the scheme could have
been worked easily, and probably was,
but even then, that does not make
Malone guilty of any wrong.
Why, then, it may be asked, was he
indicted?
+'t'N hN'' ''NN' 80 NA'A' WY
The jury found more than fifty in
stances in which improper filings had
been made 1t found that Handlan
had said he divided the S35 received in
each case with Others, and, as natu-
raj consequence they concluded some
one must have been in league with
the guilty party, and this made Ma
lone the sufferer
The friends OF Speed say it is vic.
tory for him. 1t is not. Speed adver-
tised extensively that he would make
culprit of Malone and. humiliate the
administration which appointed him.

only Republican attache Of the Perry

bare possibility that
That is all. That there was crooked
work in the Perry land cfiice was cur
rent gossip; that it was conducted
under Democratic administration
was an undisputed fact but when the
real criminal was discovered to be the
only Republican clerk in the office, the
political significance, even from
Speeds standpoint, is buried, and the
only result that can be reached is that
the Democratic party-as a party of
the peoples still pursuing the old
policy of hunting .out and punish-
ing its transgressors, in place of
elevating them to higher positions,
and for this il has the best wishes of
the best people in the work it has in
hand for the general public.

How painfully we take our amusement
and how many intolerable things are done
in the name of enjoyment A roomful of
whist players is a spectacle to make "a
philosopher weep and progressive euchre
party will turn the head of sensitive man
gray in a single night. More misery can be
got out of common dancing party than
from an hours outpour of one of our popu-
lar preachers. How little genuine enjoy
ment is afforded by these things even to the
young people who most assiduously cult
vate them is apparent to any one who will
sit composedly for few minutes in quiet
corner of some crowded drawing room and
mark the medley of mechanical noises
about him-the unreal laughter and phan-
tastic gibberish that fill up the intervals of
conversation. As matter of fact, most of
our every day amusements are merely the
result of blind and hysterical desire to
keep going, to be on the move and have
nothing to do with heartfelt pleasure at all.

years. Of course you will understand that

and not for the parlors Of our ultra swell
citizens. We call 1t wire glass, and the re

The melted glass Is run out on rolling

carriage with three rollers is moved over

1.-THE first roller smooths out the hot
glass; the second roller presses strip oil
redhot wire gauZe into the mass of molten
glass below and leaves it imbedded in the
form of little corrugations, which are
pressed out by the third roller. The idea
of having the wire mesh corrugated was
found to BIO infinitely better than il we had
laid it fiat, for it insures the gauze being
thoroughly protected from the air. The
wire glass is then annealed for 40 hours

after that it is ready for use. The advan
