rHE "sUNp ON OKLAHOMA

The New York Sun speaks as follows
on Oklahoma aud Gov Renfrow's mes
sage;
1--WE guess that the unparagoned
territory among our five territories is
Oklahoma, more civilized than Arizona,
more progressive than New Mexico,
more virtuous than Utah, and much
warmer than Alaska. We have pc
rused the report OF the governor Of
Oklahoma, the Hon. William C. Rem
frow, 10 the secretary Of the interior,
and it gives us satisfaction. He de-
scribes Oklahoma's rapid growth in
population and prosperity during the
six years Of its existence. He tells Of
its taxable property and its finances,
its railroads aud its telegraphs, It's
products and its banks, its public edi-
fees aud it's churches. Oklahoma has
not only plenty of schools, and nor
NAL school, and a mechanical college,
but il already has a university. This
university has beautiful building. a

A New YORK man who had pain in
his stomach went to a physician for
treatment, few days ago, and upon
payment of 81 was furnished pre-
scripticn to which was attached the
following: "S. Divide in pulveres
viginit ct harum unum pulverem
copiat in quartenr hora" He was so
horror stricken when he read these
words-which he supposed described
his trouble-that he nearly tainted
and might have died Of fright, had not
an obliging druggist informed him that
the mysterious sentence vas merely a
direction to divide the mixture into
twenty pellets and take one every
twenty -four hours" Then the sick
man recovered. BY the way, why
is it doctors don't learn to write Eng.
lish? Their use OF dead language is
so suggestive!

cnME orr. DENNIS.

Our dele gate, Dennis Flynn, seems
TO be quite prevalent in Washington
Within the past two weeks he has pre-
vailed in several places and with vary
ing, but painfully perceptible intensity
but during all this prevalency he has
done nothing toward bettering the
territory which he represents.
The fact is, Dennis is scampering
over congressional halls with har-
poon In his hands and a set look on
his face.
lie is after Hoke Smith, because
Hoke failed TO keep an appointment
with him. He is also after the federal
Office holders of oklahoma In the
house last week Dennis held the pub
lie ear a second or two by lampooning
Secretary Smith. Like Pee-We Bar
rett of Massachusetts,, who wanted
Minister Bayard impeached, Mr..
Flynn called upon the house TO excori-
ete Smith because the Kiowa and Com
manche countries are not opened TO
settlement He backed up mass of
resolutions with bitter TRADE on the
interior department, and was beauti-
fully called down by Congressman
Cooper.
A few days later Mr.. Flynn intro
duced resolution in the house calling
for 500, 900 commission to investigate
all the offices in Oklahoma-witht the
exception Of the Guthrie school board.
In the meantime he has introduced a
free home bill and withdrawn a state
hood measure.
This is the size Of Dennis preva.
lency.
lie is sore at Smith and is trying to
make a record by trumpinR up
charges against Democratic Of
ficials. His work is coarse
and does not meet with favor from his
Oklahoma constituents. The people
here feel that Flynn should do some
thing for Oklahoma that Us beneficial
instead Of attempting TO gig Demo
cratic officials. We appreciate the ad-
vertising he is giving Oklahoma, but
his ads cannot reach top-of-column
and be 100 per cent. pure, so long as
they are inserted at the expense of
Oklahomans.
Flynn is not bad at heart and we
verify believe he could surmount q
thrilling situation and be the head ana
front of great Republican outburst
IL given half chance. But Dennis is
tacking the wrong way TO reach that
chance. lie is being handled like
putty by gang Of lobbyists and dis
gruntled pie scounter habitues, who
claim residence In this country. From
his recent actions it looks as though
Dennis had been boosted up into u
tree by these lobbyists, and there, dis
por ting himself among the branches,
had thrown cocoanuts at the sloppy
multitude beneath and chattered
loudly in triumph and delight. But
the altitude is too much for him and
he will have to descend from his dizzy
perch. There is no milk in the cocoa
nuts.
Let Dennis take a timely hint and
drop down TO his own level.

startling intelligence: The presiden-

rejected al oyertures looking to his
nomination for the second place on the

ing college he went to tne Norristown
Insane Asylum, and later entered a
drug store as a clerk, but his first ven
ture as a crook fioated ever before his
minds eye, and he dreamed of the day
when he would acquire wealth and
afluence by the turning Of another sue
cessful trick. He drifted back to Chi
cago, with his eyes always open for
the main chance, and before long he
became deeply engrossed IN another
swindle of four times the proportions
Of his first.
Sailing under the alias of Howard, he
fell in with his former confederate and
classmate, and together they worked an
insurance company for $4,000 on the
same scheme resorted to in the first
instance. From that time on he was
out of one nefarious job into another.
He bought a drug store, but sold out
soon after, and with probably 100000
left for California. All the money he
had in the world was fleeced from vic
tins Of his various schemes. He seemed
to glory in this thought and to be seized
with an Unsuitable desire to plumber
moneyed people, whether individuals or
corporations, and his ever active brain
was almost continually employed de-
Vising schemes to effect this result.
All pretense at earning an honest live
lihood, save the necessary precautions
to dupe the unsuspicious public were
cast aside, and this reckless man cut
loose from decent associates to drift
where his abnormal hankerings would
lead. While in Chicago he married
second time, and a bright little babe
was born of that union, but love was
foreign to this cold-hearted man, whose
whole existence seemed wrapped up in
the excitement of the dangerous game
he was playing, and he forgot them
when he left suddenly for the Pacific
coast. What he did there remains a
secret buried within himself, and for
the time being he was lost sight Of.
Ere long his greed for excitement
overcame his fears and one bright
spring morning found him back in Chi
cago He at once launched a commits
sion scheme known as the Yates-Camp-
bell Co., which he advertised would buy
and sell goods of any kind.
Whether he met Mamie Williams dur
ing his sojourn in the west or came
across her in Chicago is not known,
but at this stage of the game, the bright,
winsome young typewriter became en-
tangled in the meshes Of the cruelest
Of men. She was rich, owning in con-
junction with a sister as lovely as her
self, property valued at $4,000 in or near
Fort Worth.
This in itself was enough to fix the
doom of the beautiful young woman,
and from the day she met Holmes, or
Howard, her fate was sealed. Sleeping
or waking the insidious plotting of the
man she loved never ceased and he
would no more have spared that fair
girl than the spider could refrain from
sucking the life-blood from some poor
fly that becomes entangled in it's web
Crime had become second nature to
him, and he was happy IN the commits
sion of it.
