A GENEROUS FIRM.

Business is at stand still. For the first time in a quarter of century, only one of our mills are running. Dr Cur tiss' sons woolen mill is closed for the first time in 30 years, except for repairs. While out of work, the company charges no rent and allows them to cut wood on it's land for fuel, on shares, a privilege that they gladly avail themselves of. The company has large amount of fin ished goods on hand, said to amount to LOGO, and they cannot safely add to the amount while the kind of tariff we are to have remains uncertain.

A SERMONETTE ON THE WEATHER.

The weather is never ceasing topic
 of conversation and had ought ere this to be considered back number. But it 1 was a natural inclination on the part of
 the scribe to express sentiments on that subject. With the mud deep, the air laden with fog, miasma rising from the lowlands, to be well, to keep well, is at- most impossible. Our winters are not as they were in ssYe 6 olden time, when the ground froze and didn't thaw till spring. People died in those times but the enemy grip was not with us.
 Pneumonia was unknown, occasionally
 case of lung fever, about the same as the above, was heard of. In the writer's es- 1 timation there is nothing compared to a New England winter. Snow enough l for sleighing the air clear and crisp. tin gling the blood, creating tantalizing desire for sleigh parties and skating.
 Perhaps by the time THE BEE greets us again zero weather will be with us. If
 some complain of the cold let them con- slider how much better it is for all to be GVcu suoW UOuuu iiidh to oC

First Eject OF Attempts TO Enforce the
Law I'm the House.
WASHINGTON, April 27.--Mr. Hep
burn Of Iowa interposed his daily oh
lection to the approval of the journal
in the house and compelled q roll-call,
which resulted in its approva1-237 to
nothing The speaker appointed the
following boards of visitors:
To the Military Academy-Messrs.
Black of Illinois, Hatch of Missouri
and Curtis Of New York.
To the Naval Academy-Messrs.
Meyer Of Louisiana, Outhwaite of Ohio
and Randall of Massachusetts,
At this point became visible the first
effects of the attempt to enforce the
law of 1856 to s'doclz'' members for
absence except on account of sickness.
Mr.. Mahon, Republican, Pennsylva-
mia, precipitated the matter by rising
to a question of privilege and offering
a resolution directing the sergeant-at-
arms to pay members their salaries
without deductions on account of abb
senee unless such absence is first GER
titled by some duly authorized officer
of the house.
A point of order was raised by Mr..
K1gore and supported by several
Democrats, that the resolution did
not present question of privilege.
The point was sustained by the
SPCoACE O41 t1C RLOoA0 SAab II W as q
matter of law and not under the
control of the house.
'sBut that is not the law" inter
jected Mr. Reed ''That," said the
speaker, sis not a question for the
house to determine.'' He added he
should decline to certify salaries
unless members informed him how
much salary was due them.
Another resolution was promptly
offered by Mr.. Mahon, declaring that
the sergeant-at-arms, in the absence
of any rule, has no authority to re-
quire members to report absences an d
reasons therefor. This also was ruled
out of order, and an appeal was laid
on the table by a strict party vote,
except that Mr.. Lucas (Republican)
of South Dakota voted with the Dem
ocrats.
The diplomatic and consular appro-
priation bill was then taken up and
after debate passed. The bill as pass
ed carried 81, 513, 53s, decrease of
$40, 7O6 compared with the appropria-
ton for the current year At o'clock
the house adjourned.

Seven Oklahoma Outlaws Reported Killed
and Their Bodies MutiIatec.

SEVEN OAAA Nc INA ~ 0IAAsSS AkePOrbe0 hAAlo0
and Their Bodies MutiIatec.
HENNEssEY, Ok, April 27.-Farmers
residing near independence and Arap-
ahoe, little country postoffices in the
Cheyenne country, have been bothered
considerably of late by an organized
band of horse thieves, who have
stolen over fifty head of valua BILE
horses. Vigilance committees were
organized and last Tuesday found the
trail of the thieves leading
in the direction of Greer counA
ty, in the Panhandle of Texas.
They overlook the outlaws twenty
miles from the Texas line, with ten
head of stolen horses; seven outlaws
were in the band. The vigilantes sur
rounded them in a bunch of cedars and
killed 1--WE of the party and the other
two surrendered. They led them to
neighboring tree, put them on two
horses with their hands tied behind
them and at yell the horses dashed
from under them and they swung in
space
The vigilantes then riddled their
bodies with bullets and left the dead
men in the forest, food for the vul-
lures and mountain lions. This will
no doubt serve as a warning to the
numerous bands of outlaws and
thieves in this portion of Oklahoma.
