garments Really for the peace Of the
masculine mind the representatives Of fair
women which the windows display are

From the talk Of the Mugwump press
one would suppose that the civil service
law was more infallible than the story of
Jonah and the Whale. Apparently It is
too precious TO touch and must not be
criticised on pain of being charged with
Mugwump heresy. Undoubtedly the law
has been abused, nevertheless, and Grover
Cleveland surely discovered way to in
woke IL for the distinct and general
advantage of Democratic politicians of the
most partisan kind. The which indicated
that he had long political head.

After two years OF suspense II is
now certain that the Kansas, okla

road, from Coffeyville, Kan, TO YER
non, Texas, by way Of Guthrie and El
Reno will be constructed, and it is not
improbable that six months will see
the roadbed completed.
The Oklahoma Central has been
hampered owing to lack OF proper
backing since its inception. Two
years ago the late Secretary Robert
Martin made a special trip to Europe
to float the bonds of the road, but was
unsuccessful. The company has a
franchise and is fully equipped for
operations. Lately George Gould has
taken an interest in the scheme tor
making a Missouri Pacific connecting
link with Northern Texas, through
the territories, and it is stated on un-
questioned authority that he will
build the road. Orders have been
issued from New York to perfect the
survey of the road and begin active
work. II is stated that orders for ties
and iron have already been placed
AS evidence corroborating these
statements, officials OF the Central are
now IN the field examining the survey.
Yesterday there arrived here Messrs.
