Charged with Sharp Practice.

All the actors and stage help of the
old Chinese theater were arrested
about o'clock Monday evening on
the charge of conducting public
show without license. They were re-
leased on check of ~ 800, furnished
by Kat Poo. In the Police Court this
morning the case was set for Satur-

The actors and the manager of the
theater, Mr.. c. Din Sing, tell a story
of the trouble which may get William
II. Crawford, Il well known young
man, into muddle. They say;
Crawford managed all the outside
Affairs of the company.
He would go to the Deputy Mar

out, but the licenses were never pro-

department thought the licenses were
taken out"
But reckoning day came. The po-

operating without license and had
been doing so, with the exception of
three nights, since May.
It is not unlikely that the young
man will be charged with embezzle-

There is a disease of the stomach

ing all the symptoms of dyspepsia and
indigestion. He cures thousands of
such cases, which are supposed to be
lneurable, because he has discovered the
secret of their trouble-chronie catarrh.

A NOVEL PROCEDURE.

Perry, o. r., March 9.-Col. j. II. Skin
ner of the firm of Gentry, Skinner Il Co.,
which owns several general stores in the
Territory, and G. w. Simcox have ap-
piled for receiver to keep Indian Agent
Col III. B. Freeman of the Osages from
-confiscating their stock. The affair has
grown out of the refusal of Col. Freeman
to pay the half-breeds their regular an
nuity, which he withholds because the
Indians have disobeyed rules laid down
by him. Colonel Skinner has sided with
the half-breeds, and Colonel Freeman, it
is stated, has now served him with a no,
tice to leave the Territory in fifteen days
with his family, or suffer confiscation of
his goods.
Much excitement has resulted. Colonel
Skinner was formerly of Sedalia Mo.
and is we'll known and wealthy. His
partners are John r. Gentry, the Mis-
souri, horseman. and Dick l.. Gentry, both
well known in the West.

l.
New York, March 9.-The New York
Presbytery held its regular monthly meet

committee on home missions, reported
that the meeting at Carnegie resulted in
a collection of S6,05S. MI.
Rev. Dr. John G. Bliss, submitted a
resolution thanking the speakers on that
occasion and especially President Cleve-
land.
When the resolution was read Kilayen
Van Rensselaer,. an elder of the New
York Presbyterian church, said:
81 am not member of the Presbytery,
consequently can offer no motion. But
| would suggest that the Presbytery in
sert in that resolution some expression
; of its disprOval at the unjust attack be-
| ing made upon the president by some of
the politicians in Washington on account
of what he said at the meeting.
"We all know the spirit in which he
spoke those eloquent words. We know
there was no intention on the presidents
part to attack any section or any people
He only mentioned what is well known
to everybody, that the class which settles
new country like Oklahoma and Other
Western places, the people who are
known as boomers always set up bad
rooms and gambling houses the first
thing. The attack upon him is being made
by politicians for political effect and
should be rebuked.

No one responded and the original motion
was adopted unanimously.
