There has been a regular IN
vasion of this town recently by
juveniles from other towns, who
make a practice of "bumlning"
their way to this point on
freights. Last week eight small
boys was here at one time from
Ardmore, beating their passage
up here on IA freight. Two boys
came in Saturday from Arkan-
sas City. one of them son of a
prominent physician, the other
of a widow lady of that place.
They say there were six of the
crowd when they made the
start, but four of them grew
faint hearted and only came out
station or two, then crawled
off TO strike a train home. These
two boys spent several days
here visiting acquaintance,
while their parents were franti-
cally endeavoring to ascertain
where they were. The applica-
ton of a good hickory wand in
| liberal doses by an athletic par
ent might have some tendency
to check the wayward tenden-
dies of these young rovers. 1t
also seems that the railroad
men on the freights hauling
these youthful tramps are some
what derelict in their duty, else
they would put them off at the
first station they reach and
teach them a lesson that would
stop a practice fraught with sc
much danger to the young
sters, both in a physical and
moral sense.-Purcell Register

Dear Sir-Every effort has

aud the reported damage TO the
cotton fields in the Gulf states,
owing to the Mississippi river
running over Its levees. Not
withs.anding the circulation of
these sensational advices our
market is practically unchaug-

prices. There IS no doubt,
however. that the fear of over
flows in the Mississippi Valley
has restricted selling, and has,
therefore, occasiOned n steadier

LAST NIGHTS STORM.

Fort Worth, Tex, March Is.
At 8 o'clock a terrific wind
and rain storm, lasting some ten
minutes, struck the city, doing
considerable damage. AVN
ings, fences, trees and chimneys
were blown down in all portions
of the city.
Information is that wires up
the Denver road are down. and
communication is largely cut
off. There has evidently been
some trouble on the Santa Fe
north of here, for no telegraphic
communication in that direction
can be had.
1t is known that the Katy
wires are down south of Alva-
RADIO. So far as can be ascer-
tanned, no deaths resulted here.
Still a dozen are reported to
have been slight sufferers.
The blows came from the
northwest, was accompanied 10y
terrific lightning flashes and
binding rainfall. 1t was al
over in ten minutes. DIR. W
IA. Duringer was on Peacl
street at the time the blow
came up. He had just stepped
from a house when the wind
struck him. He was knocked
down and blown a distance oi
some twenty feet, so strong wa.
the force of the blow.
Late tonight instances oi
narrow escapes are reported
from different sections. 1t i:
feared that the loss Of lie ha:
resulted to the north, as indica
tions are that the storm was in
deed heavy in that direction.
The severest blows seem {,
have been in Trinity bottoms
north Fort Worth, where mum
erous tents and huts wer
demolished and the occupant
subjected to the severity OF tin
weather.

A Sober Congress

This is probably the most temperate

lafiou of tn country. 1t is general
" accepted fact that the statement O
earlier generations were freer in tax
! ing their toddv, and tOddy taking was
more general am 1ng them than among
! those of later days. But during the
past Is or 20 years there has always
| been in congress considerable nut a.
| Der of welI-kuOwn men whose drinking
habits were more or less a matter OF
common knowledge, writes Washing
ton correspondent. Some of the most
famous legislators in the past have
appeared upon the floor of congress at
one time and another decidedly under
the in fluance of liquor. 1t is not nee
essary to mention names, but congress
after congress has had, in its most
hOuored M m berSn p, d large nun b ar
of men of in temperate drinking habits.
At times they have appeared on the
floor. and some have been seen help
lessly under the influence of liquor IN
committee rooms or in the corridors of
the capitol. During this session there
is not Ono example of this sort
of intemp, rance that has attr icted at
teptlon. [ cinnOS think of a man in
this congress to whom any one would
refer as an iuebrate. There are men
in both houses who drink something
probably ev-ry day Of their lives, but
[ can count over not more than four or
i've men in the senate who drink
great deal, and there ia probably no
greater number in the house. None of
these are men who get drunk. They
are men who drink enough all the
while to keep their faces red and to
render them less alert than they would
Othe wise be at times, but no. enough
to attract attic ton to themselves as
men of Incorporate habits. In the re-
cent past there have b en- assembled in
t senate score of men whose names
were famous, and whose drinking hab
IS at times led 10 them to excuses. [
do not believe there is one such in the
present senate, AID [ know that there
are some who drank quite heavily who
now do not drink at all. Two or three
there are who drink a great quantity
of whisky every day, but never vary
much iu their habits, and are SO con-
stituted as not to show it. There is
one senator who drinks probably more.

any two of his colleagues, and yet
there are few persons not among his
intimates to whom it would occur that
he is a drinking man at all. For So

Immigration Falling Off.

a conspicuous falling Off in the mum
Der of emigrants landed at the ports OF
the United States during the month OF
May of this year is noticeable in the
figures about TO be issued by the
bureau of statistics of the treasury de-
partment. The total mum Der for the
month was 81. 14S as against 5S,225 in
May, 1896. For the ell ven months of
the current fiscal year the mum Der was
2l0.271, as against Bis, 300 for the cor
responding period in 1896. During
eleven months of the current year the
number of these emigrants who landed
at New York was l64, 9l9 while in TIL e
first year the nun Der was 242, 62I.
The only countries of the world
which contributed more to our popula-
ton in May OF the present year than
in May, 1896, are Fra2ce, Poland,
Wales, Cuba and China. These ma
tionalt ties showed very small gains,
but even the total figures are insie nj
ticant. The countries from which
i'm migration showed most conspicuous
losses are Germany, Italy ard Russia.

The English Language.

Notwithstanding all the difficulties
| forei guers find in mastering the En-
| glish language, that tongue is becOm-
ing the handma:d of commerce the
world over. Sir Michael Mulhall has
shown that of all the seven European
languages the English alone has in
creased in use since the beginning OF
story not of nominal increase, but OF
jumping up to more than double, the
percentage being from II to p.
Three great countries within a single
= ear have ordered the teaching of En-
glish in the schools. This was the first
thing Ii Hung Chang saw when ne re-
turned from his trip around the world.
Japan is giving to the study of English
literature and language more time
than to her own tongue. President
Diaz has compelled the study of En-
glish ia all the schoos in Mexico
The queer and sometimes awk ward
features of English photography are
the only blocks to the general ac-
ce otance of our tongue in commercial
dealings. Then. too. there is no court
of last resort to which points can be
carried. This is the kind Of arbitra-
tion that the world needs most, say
people whose trade brings them in con-
tact with all nations.
Americas great commercial competi-
tor, Germany, is the most active in e.
forts to displace English by the Ge,-
man language Or by some new and uni
versal tongue. Naturally Germ any OPP
poses the advent of such court of ar
bitratiOu as is proposed by trade smen,
for that country realizes it would in
variably lead to the choice of English
and drive out the mother tongue.

Don't Want Him.

Army circles. particularly those o.
the crack Seventh cavalry, are more
than exercised at the promotion O
Charles Young, late second lieutenant
of the Ninth cavalry, to be first lieut.
en- ant in the Seventh cavalry.
| Under ord mary conditions. this pro-
motion woald have caus d little or no
| com mant, but the fact is that L1euten-
ant Young is an Afro American of the
deepest dye, and a prom DtiOn Of an Of
ficer OF that color into the ranks made
sacred by the heroic fight of the la
mented Custer at Little Big Horn and
on other memorable fields, both in the
civil war and since, has created feel
ing that is intense and deep by reason
of it's enforced secrecy.
1t is matter of some difficulty to
get any member of the army to talk on
the subject of YOung's promotion. They
desire TO bear out silently their own
discom future rather than to admit the
fact that the renowned Seventh caval-
ry is liable to receive ord ers from a ne
gro officer.
A very prominent officer of the ar
my, in speaking of the matter says:
''Of course, it is strictly against re-
gulations for me to talk on this % after:
besides, | do not quite care to discuss
an officer at present in the armv, no
matter what his color. but this l will

appointed to West Portland Young is
the least acceptable of. the lot. Flip
ner was, as all know, dismissed from
the army but Alexander the other
graduate, was a man respected and
held in high regard by all who came in
contact with him: he has since died,
however.
''If under any circumstances Lieut.
enant Young should be ordered from
his present duty at the Wilberforce
University, Ohio, there would be moth
ing else for him to do than to go to his
reg iment, and in that event it would
be difficult to foretell what would hap
pen, as the white troops who would be
under his cOmmand would desert in
large numbers, if they took no other
measures to relieve themselves Of the
duty of serving under a
negro officer"
1t is probable that Lieutenant Young
will be kept at his present employment
at Wilberforce until some arrangement
is made TO- him to transfer into either
the Ninth .or Tenth cavalry, the re-
giments composed of colored troops.
