QUESTIONABLE CLAIM.

Last year james Kendalrs wife sued
him for divorce at Pawnee, and the
court promptly gave her a decree, Now
James comes to the front and turns
the tables 10y suing her for SO, 600 for
services rendered as her husband
during three years This opens up a
new line of thought. James evidently
imagines that being a husband is
profession which entities him to good
wages. lie modestly 6Xes the value
OF his services as a husband at 81, 600
per year, and asks the court TO collect
the amount for him. But how is a fair
estimate to be placed upon the conju-
value OF husbands services? Beyond
any question, from what we have
heard, it IS worth much more than
81, 600 year 10 live with some women
year Old Man Socrates uudoubted-
ly earned much more than that as the
consort Of Nantippe. But we are not
so ungallant as to believe for one mo-
ment that any oklahoma girl should
not bring a premium in the matrimo-
nial market, pecuniarily, or otherwise
Kendall undou btedly has had full pay
for his services. We will wager that
he has been overpaid as it is.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The passage OF the FIRST great steam
er. the "Sicilia," of the. amburg-
American line, from Hamburg with a
cargo OF 3, 200 tons over the Galveston
bar, after a successful voyage from
Hamburg, produced notable sensa-
tion in Galveston. Houston and other
gulf cities. As result, the CONNER
cial club Of Galveston is preparing for
an eastern trip TO advertise the event,
aud will pass through oklahoma with
handsomely festooned cars.
The big steamer "Sicilia" drew
twenty.one aud half feet OF water
which is the deepest draught that ever
crossed the bar, and experienced no
difficulty in entering the harbor.
Galveston did herself proud on the
occasion, and honors we're exchanged
between the officers Of the vessels and
the citizens The captain entertained
a mum Der Of the German-born citizens
OF Texas in his office on board, accord
ing to the customs of the fatherland,
and the business men OF Galveston pre-
sented him with resolutions telling
him everything good about Texas.
The passage at Galveston demon
strates new order of things. With
the aggregate wealth OF the trans
Mississippi states and territories
amounting to S2O, 900 900, 600, exclusive
Of Illinois, Kentucky Tennessee and
other states st of the Mississippi,
the trade between the gulf ports and
the interior can be developed into
proportions. OF equal Importance to
deep water at Galveston and other
gulf ports is the necessity OF building
great trunk north and south railroads,
as well as the Improvement OF the
worn rivers Of the west

Travel That Way.
Six years ago the baggage depart
ment Of the Northern Pacific road is
sued an order that no goats should be
transported In the baggage cars, says
the Minneapolis Times A peculiar in
cident brought about the general or
der. A goat had been placed In bag
gage car that was bound for the Pacific
coast During the trip the animal
had eaten the leather straps that held
the brass checks to the trunks. When
Portland was reached the checks we're
all on the floor Of the car and there was
no way ofidentifyiEg the trunks. 1t took
nearly three months to straighten out
the tangle and the general order was
issued
The rule has never been disobeyed
until the last few weeks. Q. e. Stone,
city ticket agent of the Northern Pa
ci1c ticket office in St. Paul, general
ly makes contracts with travelling
shows that pass over the road He
had an Uncle Toms Cabin" company
recently, with bloodhounds and a DON
the road. Among the properties of the
show was a small wagon in which
we're seated two goats that were used
to give a street parade. Contrary to or
ders Agent Stone took the goats and
had them put in a baggage car with
the bloodhounds and the donkey. In
the same car were two bicycles belong
ing to a man and his wife. During the
night the goats dined on veritable wind
pudding, for they ate up the pneumatic
tires of the bicycles and chewed the
cork handles for a dessert.
The owners of the bicycles filed a
claim with the company. The claim
was referred to the baggage depart
ment. When it reached Agent Stone
there was a copy Of the prohibitory
order attached to it, with instructions
that the one who was responsible for
the violation of the rules should pay
the claim of $50. Agent Stone will
dig up a portion Of his monthly sti-
pend to settle with the claimants.

Their First Drill.

List evening the first regular drill OF
the Providence Naval Reserve Artillery
Company.was held in. the company's tenn
porary home at the PheniX building.
Despite the stormy weather about 80
members attended.
Previous TO going TO the drill hall q
meeting was held at which Lieutenant II.
lincoln Lippitt presided. The first drill
was a memorial bic one and will probably be
placed In the historical archives OF the
company in days TO come. After the COM
pany had been formed and counted into
fours the fours were taken as squads and
commanded by members more or less fs-
miliar with the blue booked drill tactics.
Full quarters of an hour were con-
sumed in rubbing the first groenness of
the recruits, after which the men reas-
sembled in company formation when sew
eral OF the simpler company movements
were executed under command of the
officers.
Taken as a whole the evenings work
was n decided success and augurs well for
the ultimate discipline aud fitness OF the

The Storm Wind Blew Twenty Three Miles
an Hour.

"It warn't no hurricane" according TO
an old timer, sat least not hereabouts. |"
And the old timer was right, IL the
weather mans say-so is worth anything,
for at no time last night did the wind
reach a greater velocity than % miles an
that was between 6 and 7o'clock. "John-
ny" Morrow, the genial clerk OF the fire
commissioners, stood on the Point street
bridge about 1880 and declares that the
wind was blowing 150 miles an hour.
Combined with the sleet and hail, 1t was
a rather disagreeable place TO wait, but
the draw happened to be opened and a
stream of humanity stood in the "teeth
OF the gale" for several minutes.
Last nights breeze is termed a very
brisk wind by the highest authorities,
who begin with "scarcely rerceptible"
rate OF two miles an hour and measured
everything up to 100 miles an hour, which
forms livery great hurricane" A "hur-
ricane" is so miles an hour. so, you see,
23 miles isn't in 1t. The storm began with
snow at noon, yesterday: hail set in at
6:45 p. M, and up TO o'clock this morn

Reason Why River Avenue School House
Had 10 Be Closed.

Yesterday the River avenue school was
opened again and the scholars found 1T
very comfortable. The school was closed
last week Thursday because three sections
of the sectional heater were cracked and
the steam escaped in volumes, frighten-
ing the pupils and there was danger Of
setting the building OF fire. The cause
has just leaked out, and IL is safe to as
sumo that similar accident Will not oc-
cur again in hurry. IL seems that the
janitor, who il reported to be very
efficient, was sick, and instead of notify
ing Superintendent Wilcox to send
man to take bis place for the time being,
sent his boy 10 look after the boiler. The
youth evidently knew little about those
matters, according to Superintendent
Durfee, who had to repair the heater, and
finding the water low, aid the very
worst thing he coald. He let in cold
water, and IL the boiler had had any ex-
plosive proc,ivities there is no knowing
how many lives would have been lost.
Mr.. Durfee was Immediately notified and
sent men rs soon as possible to see what
could be done. In addition 10 the cracked
section the asbestos packing around the
conducting pipe leading from the steam
chest above was charred and everything
was red not.
lit has been suggested that some OF the
fault for such acciue Is lies in The heater,
OF which several arc used in the public
schools. MIR. Durfee $ VS. they are con-
sidered very good and are high priced.
No similar accidents have been reported

those who go to the theater with the

cept that she came from Kentucky, the
land OF handsome women. and that her
name was Caroline Miskel. 1t wasn't
very long, however, before the New York
public was well acquainted with her, for
her name was in every mouth, and the
rews columns OF the big dailies contain
ed interesting bits connected with her
which appeared with a frequency that
would have satiated the appetite of
comic opera queen for free advertising.
Miss Miskel was first heard of in con-
nection with Augustin Days company,
in which she played small Iarts, nut
her real triumph on the stage occurred
when she joined the forces of Charles
III. Hoyt and made her debut in one of
that well known authors popular come
