MADDOX MUST Wat.
Governor Barnes Refuses to
Pardon Him.
TAKING MORPHINE CURE
Has Not Brought Forth the
Fruits of Repentance.

Guthrie, o. T, March 7.-(Special.)-
Governor Barnes has refused to grant a
pardon to ]. w. Maddox, who is serving
a years sentence IN the penitentiary at
Lansing. Maddox was the editor Sof a
newspaper at Taloga, but lost his mental
balance through the excessive use of NOR
phne. He shot druggist who refused to
sell him morphine, and for this he was
placed on trial The case attracted much
attention at the time. and Judge Tarsney
the trial judge. was commended in giving
Maddox the light sentence Of one year,
with the assurance that when he was
pronounced cured of the morphine habit
he would join in an app.lcetio to the gov
ernor for a pardon. In due time the ap-
pIication for pardon was made and posi-
bly, would nave been granted had not
letter written by Maddox to a supposed
friend turned up in The governors office,
In which Maddox threatens TO have re-
venge on the man he shot when he should
be released from the penitentiary. Under
the circumstances the governor concludes
it best that Maddox remain a while longer
under the morphine treatment as admin
istered at the penitentiary.

EVEN IF SPAIN is CATHOLIC
Father MGermanus Says Her Sins
Merit VenEence,

Ell Reno, o. r, March 17-(Special)-
Today was st. Patrick's day. and If every
man and woman who wore the green has
Irish blood in their veins, this town can
lay claim to large Celtic population.
Father Germanus celebrated mass in the
Catholic church this morning in honor of
the Emerald Isles patron saint. The ~
gregation expected to hear a short ad-
dress on the goodness and piety of St
Patrick. but Father Germanus exploded
a shell on the Cuban situation that caused
pa electric shock to run through the
hearts of mis- listeners.
After telling what the saint had done
for poor old Ireland. he said in part: 4
have a few words to say to you. fathers
and mothers who were driven from the
little isle across the sea, a great many
of you by oppression and want, to edu-
cate your boys and girls to love and honor
the flag that gave you shelter and home.
Teach them to obey the laws of this glo-
rious country and to be ready at all times,
no matter how great the danger may be,
TO respond at once to the call of your
country, for the starry flag covers you
now, and give their lives if necessary. for
the perpetuation of the land that gave
you liberty. And to you, young men who
are in good bodily health with young
blood coursiTg swiftly through your veins,
when the call comes for you to drop your
daily avocations, do it willingly, drop the
pIow, hammer or saw and take your gun
and fight for American liberty. Because
Spain is Catholic nation let that not de-
ter you from helping to wipe her off the
face Of the earth. Any nation that starves
and butchers innocent women and chill
dren is not fit 10 be classed as nation.
When the time comes for action pray to
God to give you strength and he will not
fail you. Trust the grand man who pre-
sides over the destiny of this great ma
ton. President Mckinley. for you may be
sure he knows the situation of affairs and
will do all in his power to settle the diff
flculty between our country and the mon
ster across the sea. He knows what is
best to be done. If II is to be war, let
il come: be ready, and God will defend
YOU for the fight will be just one, and
on tie other hand if the situation can be
amicably settled. so let 1t be"
Father Germanus was born and reared

otto and intelligent priests in Oklahoma
His address has caused considerable ex-
element in this city.

No POLITICS ABOUT
House Attends to PoStoffiCe
Appropriations.
CLERK HIRE ALLOWANCE
Loud Says Rural Free Delivery
is a Success.

! Washington, March 17.-No political
| questions were discussed in the house to-
day. The whole session was devoted
strictly 10 the postoffice appropriation bill
| which was taken up for amendment under
! the five minute rule The questions which
| consumed the major portion of the time
related to the allowance for clerk hire
| and postoffices and to rural free delivery.
| Without preliminary business the house
went into committee of the whole and re-
sumed consideration of the bill under the
fve-minute rule.
Mr.. Sperry CRep., Comm offered an
amendment to increase the allowance for
clerk hire from ST.. 600 900 to S11. 300. O0O
The vote was tie. S5-S5. and Mr.. Hull
(Rep., Iowa. who was in the chair de-
feated it by casting his vote in the mega
tive.
Another amendment, to increase the
clerk hire 5000, co., was Immediately Of
fered, and in the course of the debate
members representing rural districts
seemed inclined to array themselves
against those from the great cities on the
ground that the appropriation for clerk
hire was absorbed by the big offices.
Mr.. Hepburn (Rep.. Iowa) gave notice
that he should offer an amendment TO
allow the postmaster general. in his dis
erection, to use half million Of the ap-
preparation in third and four-class Offices
The amendment was strongly antagOn-
lied by Interpretations committee. 1t
was defeated 1880.
Mr.. Hepburn then offered the amend
ment of which he had given notice and it
was adopted without division.
Mr.. Babcock (Rep., Wis., moved to
strike out the provision limiting the use
of the Sl50000 appropriation for rural free
delivery to the payment Of carriers and
horse hire allowance.
Mr.. Loud and others who opposed the
motion said the limitation had been plac-
ed on the appropriation to prevent the use
of this experimental fund for any except
the actual work OF delivering the mails
in the country.
Mr.. Loud said not one of these appro-
priations should be used to pay political
debts with Every dollar should go for
rural delivery, which had now passed the
experimental stage. Rural free delivery
was an unqualified success.
Mr.. Babcock's motion was defeated.
Mr.. Stocks Dem, S. c. moved to in |
crease the appropriation for rural free de-
livery from 100000 to 100000.
After an extended discussion the |
amendment was adopted 10S-37.
Ar gin n m fha house adjourned.

TEN MILLION MILlTIAMEN
This is the COuntry's Strength. Ac-
cOrding 10 Latest Renorts

cording 10 Latest Reports
Washington. March 1.-THE largest
measure of preparation yet made by the
war department to meet the contingencies
OF the future probably has just been COM
pleted. II is the preparation of bill pro-
viding among other things for the plac-
ing Of the army on a war footing for the
full strength of 104 900 men. The bill has
been carefully gone over by the war de-
partment and will be introduced in the
house by Representative Hull, chairman
Of the house committee on military af-
fairs. who. is expected. will urge II Wig
orously, inasmuch as II is an administra-
ton measure. The basis of the bill will
be the we'll known three battalion organi-
cations. That is the idea peace status of
the army. but provision is made for the
exercise by the president of full power
to increase each one of the existing COM
panies from IS men, the present strength
to $50 men.
In view of the possibility OF a conflict
with Spain considerable interest centres
just now in the strength of the militia
force of the United States, which would
be liable TO be called upon in case of ne
cessity. The aggregate strength of force
in each state is yearly reported TO the adj
jutant general of the army, who in turn
transmits 1t to congress for the informa-
ton of that body. An annual appropria
ton is made by Congress for the support
and maintenance of the militia and is al
lotted among the states TO the numerical
strength of the militia of each The lat
est report to congress on the hilitia
was made TO congress by Acting
Secretary of War Meikeljohn, and was

strength of the United States is ia 1862
