CITY EXPENDITURES IN DISPUTE
Fcar That Bloodshed May Yet Come Every Citizen Of the Town a Walk ing Arsenal-Five Hundred
 Peace Deputies.

ENID, Ok, March 12.-Because of an attempt to uselessly eXpend city funds in South Enid, Mayor Moore resigned and w. H. Gregg became acting mayor. The next day Moore made attempts to withdraw his resignation, and was so requested by large number of the citizens, but the council refused to al- low him to withdraw it, as they want ed to get rid of him. An injunction was issued by Judge Thompson against Gregg acting as mayor, and Friday Judge Burford dissolved the injunction at Kingtisher on the ground that it was not brought in the proper manner.
 Doodle, corruption and fraud is charged against some of the officials, and at the meeting of the council Sat urday night an effort was made to cap ture the city records for the purpose of showing that all money collected does not appear in these records. When one man tried to get the clerks books over 100 guns and revolvers flashed into sight, and it needed but the flash of one pistol to have made the council room slaughter house.
 The records are now being guarded by posse of men, who are heavily armed, with instructions to resist any and all attempts to get them, even to the killing of the parties who may at tempt it. It is feared that bloodshed may come of it yet Capt. Hassler, re- ceiver of public money at the Enid land office, may be drawn into the squabble, as he is candidate for mayor at the coming election.
 The fight in the campaign is bitter and the editor of the South Enid Trib- une has been threatened with ejection from the town, because he has dared to take up the cause of the people. Every citizen of the town is walking arsenal. Moore has deputized 5oo men to help keep the peace.

- AFFAIRS IN HAWAII.

Minister Thurston Denies the Rep orted
 Startling Condition In the Islands.
 WASHINGTON, March 12.-Minister Thurston, when seen last night con- corning the reported startling situa- tion in the Hawaiian islands, said he had not received advices from his gov ernment concerning the present state of affairs, and had gained information of them only from the newspapers. He was inclined to think the reports were exag- gerated, although it had been known for some time that the ex-queen was seek ing recruits in British Columbia. Mir Thurston believes, however, that the provisional government has the ad- ministration of the government so we'll in hand that it has nothing to fear from the queens followers. The re- port that many now employed by the government would be in the ex-queen's forces at a signal from her Mir. Thurs ton does not credit.

Estimates of the Wheat and Corn
 in Farmers Hands.
REPORT BASED ON CORRESPONDENTS.
Wheat Being Fed to Hogs on Account of the Low Price-The Wheat Crop for 1894 Less Than the Pre-
 vIous Year.

WASHINGTON, March l2.-The statis- tical returns of the department of ag- riculture consist principally of esti- mates of the distribution of wheat and corn, the amounts remaining in farm CTS hands, the proportion of mercha nt- able corn and the average prices of both the merchantable and unmer- chantable. The report is based upon returns of corps of correspond ents of several states and territor es. All grain in the hands of farmers, includ . ing the surplus of previous years, is embraced in the estimates given.
 The returns of correspondents of the department throughout the great wheat surplus states indicate a new factor in the consumption of wheat, viz: The feeding of the same to hogs and other stocks-a fact due, as de- clared, to the unprecedented low prices, the claim being made that this mode of disposing of the cereal is profitable as compared with marketing it for human food.
 The returns also indicate that con siderable portions of the wheat in farmers hands comes from crops prior to that of 1893, and especially that from lS9l-99 Such stocks have been held principally by large growers. Some damage to such stores are re- ported from Michigan and Washington. The indicated stock of wheat in farm CTS hands is 1l4,0O0 900, or 2Ss per cent of the volume of the crop of 1893. This is nearly 2l,0O0, 900 bushels less than the estimate for March 1, last year, and nearly 10000, 900 less than the average of the past eight years. The amount remaining in farm CTS hands in the eleven principal wheat growing states is about 73, 900, 900 bush- els or 63.S per cent of the amount in producers hands in the country at large. The average weight of the crop of 1893 per measured bushel, as calcu- lated from correspondents and millers and state agents, is 57.0 pounds, mak- ing the estimated product little over 3Sl, 800, 900 commercial bushels against BOG, 900, 900 measured bushels as hereto fore reported.
 The corn in producers hands, as esti- DAoeSu3 cVosOOO,OOO, UT f per cent. of the crop of 1898 This pro portion is less than for any year in the past five, except that of 1891.
 The aggregate of corn in farmers hands in the surplus states of Ohio. In- diana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska is 61.1 per cent of that in farmers hands in the entire coun- try, being in quality S6O, 900, 900 bushels
 The proportion of merchantable corn is s50 per cent of a present average value of S4.9 cents per bushel. The uumerchantable averages S2. ? cents per bushel. The official and commercial estimates of the worlds wheat crop for 1894 makes it 5000, 900 bushels less than last year The final estimate will probably still further reduce the total for 1894, as the preliminary estimates for Russia and Germany are generally reduced by the final estimates.

Farmers report wheat in plowed ground blowed out and in stubble ground the sand lodged, forming miniature mountains.

 How perfectly awful!'
 "Wasn't it? 1 thought should die. l knew 1 would have to tell Albert all about it some time, so l rushed around to his office to tell him in the presence of strangers when he could not say anything dreadful I wept and accused myself of carelessness when he said he would advertise, for I couldn't remem- Der when 1 had had it last nor how much money was in it. His partner was there, and he seemed to feel so sorry for me-he's an old bachelor that Albert didn't scold much, and actually gave me the money the second time"
 And then you went and got the gown?"
 Well, no; I had changed my mind about that piece of goods, it had such a cheap look, so I just went home to think it over"

GIRLS WHO SIGH FOR THE CITY.

 Who Knowa,

Listen to ThIs Der True Letter from One
 Who Knows.
 We all know the girl who writes: 'I want to come to the city and earn my living; what chance have IF" She writes us from Timbuctoo and from the country town where we used to live ourselves. She can do most anything, you know" to earn money, from paint ing a plaque to writing editorials on the eccentricities of the tariff; and the town she was born and brought up in, where everybody calls her by her first name and likes her, where she has a sunny little room all to herself and new gown whenever she cries for it, won't hold her any longer. Now. here is an answer to that girl that a woman wrote who knew what she was talking about. There should be special act of congress passed providing that this letter should be printed, framed and hung in every country schoolhouse, every village seminary, every small city high school. The woman's name is Martha Everts Hol- den, and the ambitious girl to whom she writes had written to her:
 'I felt like posting an immediate answer and saying: Stay where you are.' I didn't do it, though, for I knew 1t would be useless. The girl is bound to come, and come she will And she will drift into third-rate board ing house, than which. if there is any thing meaner-let us pray. And if she is pretty she will have to carry her. self like snow on high hills to avoid contamination. If she is contiding and innocent the fate of that highly persecuted heroine of the romance, Clarissa Harlowe, is before her If she is homely the doors of opportunity are firmly closed against her If she is smart she will perhaps succeed in earning enough money to pay her board bill and have sufficient left over to indulge in the extravaganza of an occa- sional paper of pins or ball of tape. What if, after hard labor and repeated failure, she does secure something like No sooner will she do so than up will step some dapper youth who will beckon her over the border into | the land where troubles just begin l She won't know how to sew or bake or make good coffee, for such arts are lia- ble to be overlooked when girl makes B career for herself; and so love will | gallop away over the hills like rider less steed and happiness will flare like a light in windy night
