Every taxpayer in the town and
city OF Waterbury should read the
amendment recommended by the
Horse Railroad Co, now pending
before the Legislature in Hartford,
and attend to it at once; if not, l
fear you will regret your negli-
gence when it is too late, because
it reminds me of the beggar in the
old country who begged for a
nights lodging and when he was
in the house got warm and some
thing to eat, and he (the beggar)
undertook to tell the man of the
house what room he was going to
sleep in.

OKLAHOMA CRY.

OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., Nov. 7.-[Spe-
ciai. For a new country, and just after
the opening of the great Cherokee outlet.
which opening. in the nature of things,
would draw some population from our
city, and also from the country. Saturday,
the 4th Of November, was a revelation, a
new sensation, to the business men and
citizens of Oklahoma City. The streets,
the wagon yards, the hitching racks, were
full to overfowing Wagons. buggies,
carriages, jumpers, OK wagons = every
kind of yehicle-thronged the avenues OF
travel At Jones' 400Lbarrel flour-mill. at
the canning factory, the cotton gin. the
railroad depots. ETC., the city was full; the
sidewalks were jammed. and, best of all,
money was plenty and business booming.
There is no use to name the number of
vehicles which were in town during the
day. The distant reader would not be-
iieve it.

New faces are daily seen on our streets,
and property is firm at moderate prices.
There is no boom-we want none-only a
steady, healthy growth in city as we'll AS
country. Fancy prices and extravagant
ideas are unpopular here.

THE PENSION OFFICE.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE annual re-
port of the recorder of the pension Office

operation of the new constitution of the
office. Current work in the office is kept
close up to date. Cases disposed of during
the year were 203, 204 Those on hand June
80. 1898, none. The cases received show a
falling off over the previous year. Many
cases are arising under the act of July "a,
1892 to pension survivors of various In
dian wars, The principal labor being to
ascertain whether organizations to which
applicants belonged were in the military
service of the United States, SO AS to give
them pensionabe standing. Among the
list of the fiscal year, the Individual mill
tary records of officers and enlisted men
in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana have
been completed according to the index
record card system, and work has begun
on the records OF Illinois. The latter will
be completed in Il few weeks. This leaves
only the veteran reserve corps and other
United States volun teers, besides the post
detachment and miscellaneous rolls. The
records of the war OF 1872. which an act Of
July II, 1892, required should be done,
have not yet been transferred from the in
terror and treasury departments. During
the fiscal year S. 42l AIS index record cards
were filed. This makes a total of 30. 099
755 index record cards SO tiled that any oue(
