NORTHERN DISTRICT.
Complication Arises Regarding the FIJI
ting of Papers BY a Candidate
for the Marshaishfp.

A nice little fight has devel-
oped over the marshalship for
the Northern district of the In
dian Territory. There are only
two candidates.. ID. Knowl-
ton of Muskogee and National
Committeeman Leo Bennett of
the same place. By n rule
adopted by the president, all
candidates for the federal Off
ces from the Indian Territory
must file their papers with the
national committeeman. As
Mr.. Bennett is a candidate for
the same place, Mr.. Knowlton
declines TO make application
through Mr.. Bennett, but will
go direct TO the president and
present his ease. He is in
dorsed by the Missouri Pacific
railroad management and mem
bers of the various railroad la
Dor organizations, including
Presidents Arthur of the loco
motive engineers, Sergeant of
the firemen, Clark of the con-
ductors and Grand Master Nor
risey of the trainmen. The Pa
cific express company of the In
dian Territory, the commercial
travellers and Grand Army
posts of Illinois have joined in
indorsing Mr.. Knowlton. Sen
atcr Mason of Illinois and Gen
eral Henderson of Iowa have
interested themselves in behalf
of Mr.. Knowlton, as we'll as the

Special Correspondence.
Marsden, /. T., April IL
We are having quite a sand
storm today.
Several will begin replanting
corn this week. The corn that
is up looks badly.
Gardens are doing no good
yet.
A thief went into William
Roberts house last week and
took so from trunk. The
family was at Ardmore. No
clue yet.
A little daughter of John
White has been very sick. but
is improving at this time.
Born, to Mr.. and Mrs. 10
MulliniX, on the 9th, a daugh-
ter. Also. to Mr.. and Mrs. :,
ID. Harris, on the same day, a
daughter. Both mothers and
children are doing well.
The boys have organized a
baseball nine with Bob Reed as
captain.
Some have planted cotton,
many others are ready to plant.
We all hope to get a fair
price for cotton this fall, for the
farmer needs at least the cost
OF production for his labor;
but we haven't received that in
former years.
Say, can anyone tell us what
has become of Mr.. Tolbertl
think he should be sent with
the rest of the committees to
confer with the Dawes commits
sion, as the farmers have no
one TO represent them there ut
this iuncture. | think we should
be setting up our claims as
non-citiZens. We should be
ready to meet the change; but
If we sit still and do nothing in
the matter we cannot blame
anyone but ourselves. So /
favor having Mr.. Tolbert 90
before the commission in the
interest of the leaseholders.
What say you, farmers!

Another Murder Mystery.

Mount Vernon, H., April u.
Boys passing through some
woodland five miles northwest
of the city today found a wo-
mans head lying near the pub
lie road leading from Mount
Vernon to Richview. They re-
ported their discovery and n
party was organized for a
search for the body. 1t was
found 200 yards from the spot
where the head lay with the
flesh stripped from the bones,
both the trunk and head being
so badly decomposed as TO
render recognition impossible.
The testimony of the inquest
went to prove that the body
was that of a woman who was
in that locality early last No
vember.
She refused to divulge her
name, but said her home was
in Carmi, H., and that she was
going to St. Louis. The theory
is that another Pearl Bryan
murder has been committed.
Ii is said a suspected party left
the country about the date of
the woman's disappearance.

COURT COSTS.

There has been much complaint
throughout the State as to the magnitude
of bills of court costs. First, because
the charges have not been reduced to ac-
cord with the enhanced value of money,
under the gold standard and the fall Of
prices of produce and labor. Thus the
Legislature of 1897 came here pledged
to reform, but it kept not this nor any
other of its promises of retrenchment and
reform. Indeed, it increased many ex-
penses, among them the clerk of the At
torney General (who has no perceptible
work to do), from 5000 to 5000, and the
clerk of the Auditor from 81 900 to ST.
500, though the former salaries were suf-
ficient to attract the applicants who now
fill these posts, and were sufficient for
their Democratic predecessors.
Secondly, there has been widespread
complaint that bills of costs, in some
counties, were swollen in amount The
Supreme Court has given relief in this
respect, by pointing out in a recent opin-
ion many illegal charges not infrequently
made in bills of costs. For public infor-
nation, we gave yesterday that part of
the opinion in State vs.. Commissioners
of Pamlico.

THE REV. BABB JOB.

Some of the Republicans and boiling
Pops are making great to do about
the publication that Rev. T. w. Babb had
been made, or was to be made chaplain
Of the penitentiary,. 1t turns out that
he does not get the job, but there is no
doubt that he was slated Cor it, as was
stated in this paper. The Wilmington
Messenger, Charlotte Observer and other
papers. If the publicati ton deprives him
of his job, the convicts ought to be happy.
Col. Odds telegraphed yesterday to the
Richmond Dispatch:
at was the boiling Populists them
selves who gave out the news that Rev.
DR.. II. w. Babb was to be the chaplain
of the penitentiary, at 5000. He unques-
tionably was slated for that place, just
as G. c. Pagan was slated for clerk to
the Railway Commission. But now it
is well known that neither will get a
place"

A CRY FOR SPOILS.

The Winston Republican has suddenly
found out that the civil service law
is a very wicked device. 1t sees that
it keeps the pie hunters out of the slice
of pie for which they have been laboring
and it thus cries out for those who are
seeking relief:
1T has always been the boast Of free
Americans that the way to Office and dis
tinction is open to the poorest boy to
the humblest citizen in this country,
equally with the favored son of fortune.
Is this so? If so, what becomes of civil
service? If civil service prevails. ought
we not to take in our sign, and hang
out another like this: thereafter in free
America the masses are to be hewerS of
wood and drawers of water while the
classes are to enjoy lifetime in fat
offices through civil service reform"
If this civil service farce continues, the
great middle class in our population that
exists in no other country, will dsap-
pear and we, like European countries,
will consist of only two classes-the rul
ing classes and the toiling masses. How
much better then will our condition be
than that of the countries whose rulers
succeed by hereditary right?

Volclng the popular Indignation at the
news OF the blockade Of Crete next Sun

blockade of Greece would be the signal
FOR war. In that event neither the King
nor the government would be able longer
TO control the insurgents on the frontier.

says that three Greek steamers have suc-
ceeded in landing cargoes of ammunition
and provisions at Sphakia. Three thou-

expected next week. On the invitation
of the admirals, four of the principal in

them explaining the position and urging
them to- lay down their arms. The in
surgents refused to accept any solution,
but the annexation of Crete TO Greece.
The admirals asked them TO reconsider
their decision, and offered them the means
of communicating to and consulting with
the insurgent leaders elsewhere; but the
same reply, it is feared, by the admirals,
will be made by all.
The Vienna correspondent OF the Times
says an official statement confirms the
belief that Germany and Austria, have
declined to share in military operations
by the powers in the interior of Crete on
the ground that such a course would in
volve the powers beyond the limits ori-
ginally contemplated.
