A CONCESSION BY THE PoPE.-The
Rccicw, a Catholic paper of Chicago,
publishes an important decree OF the
Roman Propaganda, given in Rome
under the date of January u.s., 1896,
which modi6es considerably the decree
previously issued from that tribunal in
condemnation of the societies of Odd
Fellows, knights OF Pythias and Sons
Of Temperance. Catholics who had
belonged to those societies before the
publication of the condemnatory de-
crees are now allowed to leave their
names upon the rolls, and to pay into
the treasury dues and assessments,
whenever pecuniary loss and detriment
would follow from complete severance
Of ties. The general prohibition still
remains as to any other participation
in the proceedings of the ,eeleiies.
Particular cases, howeve; offering, diff
fculties to prieOs lii their spiritual d.
.eost6ns, are to be referred for adjudi-
cation to the apostolic delegate in
Washington, instead of being sent, as
heretofore, to the congregation in
Rome.

The entering wedge of a fatal complaint is
often a slight cold, which a dose or two of
Ayers Cherry Pectoral might have cured at
the commencement. Therefore it is advisable
to have this prompt and sure remedy always
mt hand to meet an emergency.

MONDAY EVENING. MAI. 2, 1856.


PROPHETS MANTLE KIssED.-The
annual ceremony of the kissing of the
mantle of the prophet by the Sultan
took place at Constsntinople yesterday.
The fears that an attempt would te
made to assassinate his majesty robbed
the ceremony of much of lis usual pic
turesqueness, and the crowd that gen.
ernliy attends to witness the passage OF
the Sultan from the Yilliz Palace to the
Mosque wss small, fearing arrest.
The Sultan drove in a closed car
rage from the palace. The horses
went at their swiftest pace.
The entire route was guarded by
strong detachments of troops. The
ssrett I'll rough which he passed
had been dug up in searches for hidden
mines, and the bridge across the Gold
on Horn, from Galata to Constantine
pie, over which the Sultan passed, was
guarded for days to prevent its being
tempered with by the alleged conspira-
tors. There were on duty in the streets
fully L 5000 soldiers. After kissing the
m intle the Sultan returned to the pal
ace as rapidly ,s he had come to the
city.

ter. a well-known attorney and Demo-
Gratis politician, was shot and almost
instantly killed in the corridor of the
court house last night by Henry Sci

ing man. The Tragedy resulted from
remarks made by Platter in court,
which Seifert construed as reflection
on his character. Seifert was being
pressed before the court as administra-
tor for the estate of Rudolph Kerkow, a
rich brewer who died here this week.
Platter represented some of the bene-
ficiaries OF the will. opposing Seifert
and 1t had been insinuated that Seifert's
relations with Mrs. kerkow were not
of the proper nature.
When court adjourned the two men
met in the corridor. Seifert claims that
Platter struck him, Seifert, n his
cane. Seifert then drew a revolver and
fired. the shot passing through Platters'

LOUIS MILLER Is SHOT
Resists Arrest by Deputy Owens at Te-
cumseh

Guthrie, o. T., Ang. 1.-The Oklahoma
City Gazette has the following:
Sheriff c. II. Deford received the fol-
| lowing telegram this afternoon:
Tecumseh. o T., July 31.-Captain C.
H. DeFord. Oklahoma City. o. T.-Come
at once and bring the Old man Miller
and mis- wife. / arrested Louis Miller
this morning and he tried to shoot and
I had to shoot him. 1 will have a rig
to meet You at Shawnee on st train
Deputy Sheriff Owens left mere yester-
day morning for the Kickapoo country
with a warrant for the arrest Of Miner
for the theft OF horses of DR.. c. A.
Payton and Contractor Lee, which were
stolen last week.
Miller was seen at old man Christians
claim the latter part Of last week, wtth
the stolen animal. by a neighbor who
came to the city and informed DR.. Pey-
Ton. who had a warrant sworn out for
Mmler'S arrest. 1t is the presumption
that Miller resisted Owens attempt to
arrest him, when the shooting occurred
1t is not definitely known whether Mil
Ter was killed or not.
Miller was arrested about three years
ago, charged with the burglary OF the
Sherman hardware store on Main
street but the evidence was not such as
TO convict him.
Previous to the charge of the bur-
gfary of the Sherman Hardware Co. he
was arrested as an accompiice of the
Fflson bro Tiers for burglary commit
ted in the nine mile flats. He turned
states evidence in the case, and was
dismissed the FfiSon brothers serving
a year in the penitentiary for the Of
Tense. When they were released, in
retaliation. they testified that ne haA
stolen Jeff Ford's horse, for which he
was indicted by the grand jury. but for
some unknown reason the indictment
was suppressed.
Miller was a young man about %
years of age and was married. His
wifes parents live at Shawnee and Nil
Ter and his wife lived with them.
He has been in a numbr of difficulties
before and had been arrested several
times. He formerly carried the mail
here to and fro from the depot and his
brother still carries it. His parents
