Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
OKLAHOMA CITY. O. T., April 50-ThIs
afternoon a number of dodgers called the
attention of the people to the fact that
there would be mass meeting of the peo-
pie in the opera house to discuss the sltua-
tion and protest against the action OF the
court in the case of Burke and Brown.
Eight O'Clock found the opera house pack
ed to overfowing with crowd made up
of people regardless Of party. Ex-Mayor
W. j. Gault was called to the chair. tie
spoke in conservative manner, but called
the attention of the people to the fact
that the time had come when the
rights of American citizenship were over
ridden and that the court arrogated to
itself not only the Interpretation of law, but
also the creation of the same. He was fol =
lowed by DR.. Keeler Walker, DIR. Furlong
and hers.
On motion of DIR. Walker a resolution
passed creating court of five who should
prepare memorial to congress, attached
10 which should be petition praying for
the removal of Judge Henry W. Scott.
This passed unani mously. The meeting
then adjourned to meet at the corner of
Main aud Broadway at 8 p. IN. Tuesday.
The people are certainly cerribly aroused.
Brown and Burke are again in Jail.

OKLAHOMA CITY BRIEFS.
Fine Rains-Crops Promising-Court Oc-
currences-Educa ional Matters.

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 30.-ISpecial.l j
| Copious showers have refreshed all nature,
aud oklahoma, the beautiful land' is
/ smiling from valley to hilltop. In the
months of May and June nature in this
climate does her best. July is pretty warm,
| and August and September hot. Now is
the time for our numerous eastern and
northern cousins, uncles aud auuts TO
visit us while we are really at orc best.
Wheat is heading out finel !, corn looks
remarkably well, clean and vigorous, oats
growing rapidly, potatoes showing their
! blossoms, cotton shows fine, healthy ro-
bust plants and gardens appear very su-
perior indeed. People are beginning to
understand that a well kept, well man
aged garden is little gold mine, aud sup
plemented by butter and milk and gem
erous supply of eggs will almost, ii not
quite, keep the family in groceries, etc.
The latest sensation here in our good,
| nice, clean. orderly, law abiding city. is
the public boarding house, (someJimes
called the Jail, lookup, behind the bars,
etc. In the public boarding house we
have our mutual friends, Messrs. Burke
and Brown, entertained az public expense,
and visited by throngs daily. who come
with flowers laden" and ''hearty cheer"
These gentlemen are really astouished at
the army of friends and well-wishers; ;
never having in their widest Imagination
Greamt that they were so popular. Their
paper, the Daily Times-Journal, i= much
improved since they have become public
boarders, and their subscription list is
daily increasing. Besides this, our two
friends are improving in flesh. and their
editorials are vigorous and trenchant, and
remind one of the letters written by that
sanity man of old saint PauD, who
wrote his best epistlss from his prison in
the city of Rome to his churches Said
epistles still are the admiration and
wonder OF the world). Saint Paul, accord
ing to history, suffered decapitation, but
as this is the close of the Nineteenth CEN
tury of the Christian era. and in "Oklaho
ma. the beautiful land,'" and the United
States of North America. where liberty of
the press and liberty OF the pen and liberty
of the speech are part and parcel of our
glorious CONSTITUTION, We cannot look for
such a mild conclusion of this whole mat
ter as physical decapitation. What the
outcome of this judicial pleasantly Will
be, or where the grim and fantastic gor-
dian knot will be finally cut, remains to be
seen. We pause for an answer.
Professor ID. w. Delay will in the near
future open commercial college here.
This kind of a college is necessity, many
young people resident here going TO other
localities for instruction. and there involv-
ing considerable additional expense.

HELENA. Mont, April 30-The Montana
supreme court today refused to issue a writ
of mandamus ordering the Great Northern

determine what would be a reasonable
scale of wages for the men required TO
operate the road, and then ascertain
whether the REQUESTS number of men
could be obtained at the wages determined.
The court said that it was not certain that
1t had jurisdiction for the arbirrament OF
these questions, and power to enforce its
