HARMONY INSISTED UPON.
President Mckinley VIII Not Permit
Rows Over the Federal Patron
aUe I'm Oklahoma.

Washington, April 5.-tSpecial) The
president insists on harmony in Oklahoma,
and plainly told both candidates for the
governorship at the White House this aft
ernoon that neither Barnes nor Flynn shall
have a monopoly of the patronage. but that
the recommendations of both and of the
best people in the territory shall be re-
spected. Barnes name for the governor
ship will be sent to the senate probably the
latter part of the month. and the United
States marshal will probably be changed
at the same time that Governor Renfrow
is called upon to slough on his toga."
Few, If any. other changes will be made
until next September.
The fight is now for the marshalship.
William Grimes, who was marshal under
ial Republican central committee, is again
q candidate for marshal and relies on the
assistance of Senator Thurston. Sam Mur-
ply. of Oklahoma City. is here to aid De-
F. Harm, of Oklahoma City, formerly of
Ohio, is backed by Secretary Sherman and
is regarded as strong man in the fight.
Deford claims to be in the Barnes COM
bination and to have their backing. Henry

Jack Gowdy. of Indiana, who will be here
Linn is one of a number of candidates for
the marshalship who claim to have the in
dorsements of Senators Mason and Cullom.
of Illinois. George D. Orput, of Enid, Is
here, and is also relying on their support,
but Ransom Paine claims to have the
strongest Endorsements of any candidate in
the race. Frank d. Healy. of Beaver coun-
ty. late sheriff of that county, has some
very strong support from Ohio and Maine
for the marshalship. DIR. Southard, of Per-
ry, is here, and is another candidate for
marshal. Hand, of Saltwater. also claims
the support of Mason and Cullen for the
Office.
Golden, of Guthrie. arrived to-day and
claims to have a cinch on the Sac and Fox
Indian agency. He is indorSad by Senator
Thurston.
Agent Woolsey, of the Ponca, Otoe and
Pawnee agency, in Oklahoma. has been re-
quested to resign. and while there are
three strong candidates for the job. among
them ]. G. Golden and ]. III. Hale, the
probabilities are that General Day, of Mary
land who was formerly agent of the Kio-

A bitter fight is being made on Judge j.

Who is so deceptive and so debonnaire,
So frolcsome, clever and pretty,
AS the new soubrette with the oxidized
hair
Introducing some Partisan ditty?
She ogles the men with her talkative eyes;
Disdains neither prophet nor bore.
And the critics declare her the seasons
surprise.
Then send their cards to the stage door.
Her lips are as red as the bookkeeper's ink
Her brows are as black as they're sticky:
Her figure is apt to make some people
think
The art of the artist is tricky
She flaunts her skirts when there's no
excuse.
But her salaried smile is pretty:
She finds for her feet continual use
And-she sings a Partisan ditty.
What harm is then done If she wears a
wig?
It's a beauty and must have cost lots
And only BOBBY, a jay or a prig
Would point out such unfortunate spots
A husband she may be compelled to sup
port,
Her grammar may be somewhat funny,
But what are the odds If she puts en- rap
port
The people who've paid out their money?

Nall, superintendent of insurance, to-
day revoked the license of the Metro

The action grows out of the COM

Mr.. McNall today sent the following
letter to Haley Fiske, vice president of

IT have received your communication

say that you will not pay the death
loss accruing on such policy as re-
quested by this department, and that
the parties are at liberty to sue as soon
as they see fit; that you propose to
contest said claims upon the ground
that Pertha c. Emery made a false
and fraudulent representation to your
company at the tine the aforesaid poll
cieS were issued.
Permit me to say that l know of
no reason why you should not contest
every policy in existence in this state
upon which a loss occurs, but while
you are doing so you will be required
by this department to refrain from
doing business in this state; hence 1
have this day revoked your authority
to do business in this state by virtue
