Marshal Record; The petition Of
Charles Howe for a license to retail
malt, spirituors and vinous liquors In
Marshall came up for hearing; before
the board of county commissioners
at Guthrie Monday A remonstrance
with some 20 signatures was present
ed by Rev. Dr. Fisher. After an ex-
animation of two documents and a
review of the law bearing on such
cases the commissioners refused TO
grant the license, claiming that a
majority OF the resident Taxpayers
was necessary under the provisions
of the statutes, and this Mr.. Howe
failed to have. We learn that another
effort will be made to secure the nee
essary number Of signatures for a lic-
ense. Until then, Marshall will enjoy
the distinction of being "dry" town.

showed How They Could Fight.

Oct. IL. 1875, Arnold's fleet stood bat.
tie against the Britons on Lake Cham
plain. The British gained the day, but
they lost much of their conceit about
ruling the wave. 1t was not going to
be easy work this side the ocean. The
British had the preponderance in ships
and men. The guns we're about equal.
In England's squadron there pre- three
ships of war, built in England and
transported piecemeal from the St
Lawrence to Lake Champlain. One OF
them alone, the Inflexible, of 300 tons
burden and mounting Is guns, should
have been able TO destroy ATnolds en-
tire fiotilla. England's seamen also
we're from the royal navy. Arnold's
ships we're not intended for serious
fghting, bGt had been put afoat as a
patrol Their crews were motley de-
Iachments and the officers had been de-
tailed from the army.
Arnold commanded the flagship Con-
Eress. Toward the close Of the fight he
pointed every cannon with his own
hands His ship was hulled 12 times,
seven shots striking between wind and
water. In the Washington every ON
Ger was killed excepting General Wa
terbury. who fought on the quarter
deck with conspicuous bravery. The
Trumbull also lost every officer ex.
cepting her commander, Captain Lee
The Grant was riddled with shot and
sank. Under cover OF night Arnold re-
treated down the lake. The British
ships pursued and after a sharp fight
in Panton bay the fleet dispersed and
Arnold led his men overland to Crown
Point. Before abandoning his ship.
Arnold battled against seven British
vessels four hours. Setting fire to her.
he stood by and kept the flags flying
until the flames destroyed them.

TALKED OF INVADING AMERICA.
startling Statements Made by Grand

startling Statements Made by Grand
Duke Alexis at tho KIeI CeIsbration.
From the Washington Post: The
naval officers who we're with our white
squadron at Kiel tell some mighty in
teresting stories, "whin so dispoged"
as Sairy Camp might say. They were
IN intimate terms with princes and hob
nobbed with emperors and kings, who
for the time unloaded rank and were
tree and easy with ''the boys" Though
he officers are curiOusly reticent touch
ing what their foreign visitors talked
about. two pretty significant stories
have leaked out. The German emperor
was an avowed admirer Of the clean,
new, white American ships, and liked
to visit them incognito-that is, with
only an aid-de-camp or two along. One
day he was talking with a famous
young captain, who won his laurels be-
fore he was 20. Captain, l see that
most of your country's war ships are
fast cruisers. What do you call them?
All, commerce destroyers. do you not2"
"Yes, emperor" said the other. We've
been watching you on this side" the
emperor went on, "and we have come to
the conclusion that these ships are
built foT war with England. What
other nation has any commerce to de-
stroy?" There was a silence after this,
for our captain had said more than he
intended. The Grand Duke Alexis was
also at Kiel. He Is a full Russian ad-
miral now, and the head OF the Russian
navy. He was also frequent visitor
to the Americans and, like all the other
notables, talked with the utmost frank
ness to our officers. One day. watch
ing the Columbia as she rode the waves
as lightly and with the easy grace OF
a blue-wing teal, the grand duke said
to a captain: Pm glad you Americans
are rebuilding your feet. DO you know
what most impressed me when visited
your country? Let me tell you. The
wealth; the second, the absolutely in
adequate means at your disposal for ma
tional defense. You were like drunk
en- man with pockets full OF money and
two or three hungry ruffians on the
dark side of the street waiting a chance
to attack him"
why. do you mean to say" be-
gan the somewhat startled captain,
when the Russian put his hand on the
other arm and said:
Twice in my career have heard the
project OF capturing one OF two of your
great cities and holding them for ram
som deliberately discussed by officers
Of European fleets whose countries had
hard work to make ends meet. And
they meant IL, too. l once made a SEN
sation when, after listening to a CON
versation OF tAis kind, in which the
officers OF four different fleets took part,

see that the wrong was righted.' All,

Queer Method Employed In the Yukon

Queer Method Employed In the Yukon
Country In Alaska.
From the Seattle Post-1ntelligencer.
J. o. Hestwood, who IL we'll known in
this city. returned from Alaska on the
last trip Of the Alaska Commercial
company's steamer to San Francisco.
Mr.. Hestwood has some mining claims
on the upper Yukon. near Forty-Mile
City. He left that point in the early
part Of geptember, and II took him over
month to get home. He came
1000 miles down the Yukon to st.
Michaels, on the coast, then down to
Unalaska, and from there across to San
Francisco
About 200 people went into the up
per Yukon country last season" said
Mr. Hestwood, by way OF Juneau.
making their way over the mountains
at Chllkat pass, then on the ice over
the great lakes for 300 miles; from
there they had to 90 400 miles further
by boat, when they reached Forty-Mile
City. There has been a great deal OF
activity In the mines at Forty-Mile.
IL was demonstrated last winter that
these mines can be worked as profit
ably in the winter as in summer; In
fact, at much less expense. This Is
done by the use Of FIRE. A hole is sunk
by fire down to the pay streak, the
earth being thawed out by the heat
The dirt is then hoisted by windlass
and left on top Of the ground and is
washed out in the spring. / opened up
quite rich claim this season on Glaci-
er creek, and have men employed this
winter burning. l expect to take in
prospecting machinery next spring.
which will enable me to locate the pay
streak in the gulch in comparatively
short time. BY using this machinery
hole twenty-five feet deep can be sunk
in a day. when eighteen inches a day
by burning is a pretty good days
work"
Speaking OF the Alaska boundary dis
pute Mr.. Hestwood said: 'In my opin-
ion. II the United States fail to hold
which is in dispute they might as well
give mp all claim to Alaska. II this
country should have no coast line up
there except above the 141st meridian,
entrance to the upper Yukon would be
| impossible by way of an American port,
except during the summer months, be-
cause the mouth of the Yukon, which
is about sixty miles wide, is filed with
Ice from Behring sea until late in June.
You can easily see what this would
mean-England would absolutely con-
troll the trade Of that country. It is
universally claimed by experienced
miners who have been in Alaska that it
Is one of the greatest goldbearing
countries In the world. There are 5000
miles Of waterway in which gold can
be found"

Mr. CatlIn Finds That Deuteronomy For
bids Women 20 Wear TrOuserS-
New York Sun: James Catlin, a lead
ing member OF the Grace Methodist
Church In TonIele avenue, Jersey City,
made an address on Sunday condemn
ting women who wear bloOmers. He
said that bloOmers were an abomina-
tion In the sight Of God and man, and
that the wearing OF them was a direct
violation OF the commands of the AL
mighty. Mr.. Catlin quoted scripture In
support OF his opinion. He read from
Deuteronomy. chapter 22. verse 8.
"The woman shall not wear that
which pertains to a man, neither shall
a man put on a woman's garment, for
all that do so are abomination unto the
Lord. thy Cod
THAT" said Mr Catlin, lis enough to
condemn all the women, young and old,
who ride mp and down the street with
trousers oa."
Mr.. Catlin's remarks created a sensa-
tion, as many OF the young women who
attend the church are blcyclists, al
though, so far as is known, none OF
them wears bloomers.

TRUE TO LIFE.
The Most Realistic Drama vet Presented
iu Guthrie.

The Most Realistic Drama Vet Presented
IN Guthrie
Guthrie has been getting a series Of
remarkably good shows this season,
but the climax was capped last night
In the presentation OF Lincoln J. Car
ter's great realistic drama, The Tor.
nado, presentation OF realism that
has never before been equalled on the
stage. The play appears at first TO
open tamely with a quiet country
scene, bat only for a few minutes does
this impression las, for one surprise
follows another, the tragic entwining
with the ridiculous, and the first act
closing with a genuine cyclone.
TO tell of seeing houses, fences, all
the trappings of an elaborately set
stage swept off in full view, while
lightning-real lightning-blazed, and
thunder cracked, gives but faint con.
ception of a daringly conceived and
perfectly executed dramatic effect, as
novel as it is ingenious.
Almost rivaiing the crash of the
storm was the applause Of the audience
as the curtain descended upon the
heap Of rubbish the storm had left
upon the stage. Nor was this enthus.
iasm lessened by the scenes which fol-
Lived. The shipwreck fully satisfied
the inland lover Of marine novels. and
the water scene which followed, with
the tossing waves surrounding imper.
lied humanity, was novel. So were
the scenes laid in Chicago, and the ef-
feet of the dissecting room was extra
ordinarily faithful to life, and caused
cold chills to run down the backs
OF the gallery.
1t WAS thrilling and sensational
throughout vet there was enough
comedy to give a man one good laugh
every two minutes, while the ladies
took at least two crys for each act, and
all were happy ia the grand reunion
and wedding scene at the close.
The play is one of great merit, the
scenic effects far beyo anything ever
before attempted in Guthrie, and the
entire cast were adequate to their
work each one suited to the part as
signed and winning the unstinted
plaudits Of an audience we'll enter
tanned and thoroughly delighted.
THE LEADrB cannot refrain from
congratulat,ng MIR. Pentecost on the
securing of an attraction OF such high
character and great merit for Guthrie,
and is pleased to announce the fact
that the people appreciated his enter
prise by liberal patronage.

as a gem. Says the Engineering and
Mining Journal: The diamond in
question weighs 3,100 carats, and Is,
therefore, as we have said above, by
far the largest ever known. The great
Jagersfontain diamond, which was
found in South Africa about two years
ago and which was said to be the
largest known to be in existence up to
that time, weighed about go carats.
The stone mentioned was found in the
carbon district, the old diamond field
of Brazil. 1t is OF the class known as
black diamonds or commercially as
carbon, which are used in diamond
drills and for similar purposes, their
color not adapting them to ornament
The original finder is, we believe, not
