The Is years of Mr. Dana's important and in
fuential association with the Tribune ended in
1901, when, disagreeing with Mr. Greeley as to
the proper conduct Of the war he resigned.
Mr. Dana was at once offered by the secretary
OF war Edwin M Stanton, position Of impor

pointed assistant secretary of war, a position
which he held until after the surrender OF APP
pomattox.
AT the close of the war he was invited to be-
come the editor Of new paper in Chicago, the

He stayed there only short time, however, as
the paper in question failed owing to causes
quite outside of his connection with It, He re-
turned to New York and organized company

There was one thing that was matter OF

The arrest was based on newly discov-
cred evidence, including the finding OF
S2-caliber revolver, of which two
chambers had been fred at the bot
tom of chimney. The pistol was
thrown into the chimney through a
stove hole in the room in the third
story which had been occupied by
Shaw. The police also discovered, upon
close examination of the floor of Shaw's
room, several blood prints. Shaw was
found at the home of cousin, enter
tanning his sweetheart, whom he was
to have married to-day. When charged
with the crime he protested his inno-

as to the ownership of the revolver,
said it belonged to him. lie was then
told of the blood spots on the floor of

When he left Shaw's cell the prose-

he said, was doubtless desire on the
part Of Shaw to inherit the property,
in order to be married. His salary
was small, and he had made arrange.

A RAPID GROWTH.
Oklahoma Territory Making Long Strides
In Population and Wealth.


In Population and Wealth,
WASHINGTON, Oct. ts In his report
Gov. Barnes, Of Oklahoma says that in
seven years which have elapsed since
Oklahoma was made territory it has
had greater progress than most com
monwealths have had in three times
that period Of years. At the election
last fall $4,000 votes were cast, 1000
more than in Florida and %, 900 more
than in Delaware, The proportion of
citizens of foreign birth in Oklahoma
is smaller than 1t is in any state of the
union. The population, as returned by
the assessors for 1896, was slightly in
excess OF 275, 000 No enumeration has
been taken this year, but the flow OF
immigration has been steady, and Gov.
Barnes thinks the population can now
safely be estimated at 100000. The as
sessed valuation of the territory has
increased during the past three years
from sl9,937,94O to s32, OS4,75s. Gov.
Barnes says that in a majority Of the
counties the property is returned for
taxation at very much less than Its
real value. He estimates the taxable
wealth Of the territory at from $780,
600, 900 to $40, 900, 900.
