The New York Herald's European
cables speak positively of the danger OF
an European war. Italy is believed to
desire a conflict. She is totally stranded
financially, her politics are in a bad
way, and she looks TO war as a means
of rehabilitation. Italy finds her excuse
In the demonstrations of amity between
Russia and France, consequent upon the
visit of the Russian fleet to Toulon.
Italy does not relish Russian influence in
the Mediterranean. and the grant of =

The statement comes from Guthrie that
]. B. Freeman, George Kicker and Ed
ward Cheney, well known farmers, were
jailed there Friday night on charge OF
stealing thirty head of cattle. Officers
state that these men belong TO an organ
lied gang, who have run of hundreds OF
cattle and horses, and promise some sensa-
tional Developments aud wholesale arrests.
Guthrie News: A letter has been re-
ceived in this city from United States At
torney General Oiney by distinguished
official lie Guthrie, stating that he has coh-
cluded to recommend TO the executi We the
appointment of two more supreme court
judges for this territory, as be deems that
the judicial interest of Oklahoma impara
lively requires such appointments.
The Oklahoma Times-Journal is moved

up great aud prosperous state, such as
the territory is destined to be at no distant

In the case Of George Washington VS..
Mrs. Carrie Traine, liz the district court at
Guthrie, Judge Greene has just rendered a
decision which is of great interest TO all
parties who have taken or in the future
take lots III the townstes on the public
domain. The townsite boards have al
ways compelled lot claimants who were
contesting for lots to put up deposit
large enough to cover all expense of trial
or be ruled out. The decision is that those
who had not the money to put up with
the boards and were therefore ruled out
and denied hearing can enter a court of
eqaity and have their case heard and their
title tried and, if proven. secured through
such courts in spite OF the arbitrary action
OF the townsite board.

The public, having made q rather
searching diagnosis of our bearded sena-

the rather complex maladies of super
abundant growth Of hair, an abnormalIy
light development of brain, an incurable
diarrhoea of words and chronic consti-

a settled policy on their part to let the

The honorable United States senate
wants to understand that the country is
getting most awfully tired of its monkey
business over the pending measure that
has occupied the attention of that BODY
for nearly two months. Senatorial cour-
tesy is all right and proper, observed
within the bounds of reason, but that
body has no right to observe it to the
utter contempt of the sentiment and in
terests Of the country. a good many
people are becoming convinced of what
they have suspected for some time. and
that is that there is not majority in the
senate in favor of the repeal of the pur-
chase clause of the Sherman law. else
they would find some means of bringing
the senseless discussion to a close and
tho question to a vote.

From Chicago telegram.
Half dozen big placards with the an
nouncement ITO Rent are attached 10
the outside of the pretty little structure
on Wabash avenue that contains the old
John Brown fort from Harper'S Ferry.
A year or more ago the historic old en-
glne house was bought by company OF
spectators, taken down, brick by brick,
aud transported to this city with a great
patriotic hurrah. There wasn't as much
patriotism among the general public,
however, as among the spectators; as
an amusement exhibit the affair has been
a dead frost and now John Browns
fort collectively or by individual bricks
can be had for a song.
