Cincinnati, Ohio, June 20.-The finish de-

located at Kings Mills, in Warren county.
was destroyed last night in a manner
leading to the belief that it was the work

smokeless powder had evidently been fred
by two men near midnight, one OF whom
was badly burned and has been appar-

away in the direction OF South Lebanon.
The smokeless powder in the condition It
was in this department does not explode

breaks into a bright light and burns

citizens and some Of these met stranger

Berlin June 21-The official text OF EN-
peror Williams speech to the company
of the Royal theatre, delivered on June
16 was published here today. The follow
ing are extracts from his majesty's re-
marks;
THE theatre should be the instruments
of the monarch and, like the school and
university, work for the preservation OF
the highest spirit and qualities of our
noble German fatherland.
The theatre is also one of my weapons
''It is the duty Of the monarch TO inter
est himself in the theatre as have seen
by the example of my father and grand
father, for the theatre can be an immense
power IN his hands.
1.-The artist must aid the emperor to
serve the cause Of idealsm, with firm con-
fidence in God and continue the fight
against materialism at the un-German
ways to which many OF the German play
houses have, unfortunately, already de-
scended.''
The general manager, in return for the
thanks, assured his majesty that the
Royal theatre would gain new victories
for dramatic art under the emperor 5

SON OF HIS FATHER
Capt. Admire's SON Volunteers for
Cuba.

Kingfsher, o. T. June 21.-(specia)-
Captain J. V. Admire receiver Of the
United States land office Of this city. was
surprised again today when ne received
letter from his son Ell. who has been in
the city of Chicago attending the. Bryant
ana Stratton commercial college,
EHs letter Is dated the 18th Inst. and
informs his father that he has enlisted n
the service OF the United States and has
also been assigned 20 company &C" First
Illinois Volunteers. now caTnped OF Picnic
Island. near Tampa, Florida
Among other good things embraced in
his letter to hts father IS the following:
You can not be angry with me. asm you,
yourself. did the Same thing when you
were younger than l am. and you have
been very proud of il all your life"
The, Eagle correspondent on seeing the
captain at his Office learned from him that
he went into the late war Of the rebel
lion in 1862. before he was 20 years Of
age, enlisting IN company e. Stxty-htth
Indiana Infantry Volunteers, that he held
all the Offices in his company from SER
geant TO captain and was mustered out
al the close Of the war with the latter
rank.
Eli Admire will be missed here by his
parents, his friends, and acquaintance.
but in taking the step he has, he has only
emulated the example set by his father.

there is any opposition to the appoint
ment of Mr.. Mccoy as postmaster al this
ely and Mr.. Hoyt as postmaster at Ponca
City, 1t has not developed at Washington
and 1 look for the appointments to be
made this week" said Governor Barnes
this morning to the Eagle correspondent.
The governor returned last night from a
three weeks visit to Washington, and is
especially satisfied with having secured
another assignment of troops to Okla
homa. When he left Washington 1t was
with the assurance that he would be
given authority to raise a battalion of
four companies. but the pressure from the
different states to furnish troops Is so
great that there is a possibility of Okla
homa's quota being reduced to three COM
panies The companies to be supplied by
the Territory viii consist of 100 men each,
and the battalion win be differed by one
major, four captains, four first Heuten-
ants. four second Iieutenants, one adju-
tant and one assistant surgeon. The gov
ernor has not yet decided upon a plan
for the enlistment of these additional com
panies and will AXE no steps IN that d.
rection until additional details are re-
ceived from the adjutant general at
Washington, which are expected 10 arrive
in a few days. He would not discuss the
proposed appointment but significantly re-
marked that persons who expect com
missions must expect to furnish men as
we'll as evidence Of military qualfca-
tons" In other words a political pull
vi not suffice TO win an officers com
mission. II is also quite likely that :he

nize dss an organization and the members

The governor said he had not taken any
steps as yet TO supply Colonel Woods re-

made for that service and send the ap-

QUESTION OF TAXATION
Calls for Discussion by the Women at
Denver

Denver, Col, June Z-Imporsant action
was taken this afternoon by the council
OF the General Federation Of Women's
clubs on the increased taxation of clubs
This advisory board will recommend to
the federation the taxation of individual
clubs at the rate of l cents per capita
and state declarations at the rate of %
cents per club, beginning with 1900. Under
this new ruling the Chicago Women's
club for instance would have it's taxation
raised from so to SIG biennially. The
large clubs will withdraw if this is done.
but the women in power assert an incNease
in taxation is necessary This was borne
out IN financial reports. The treasurer.
Mrs. Frank Trumbull, of Denver. said in
1886 the federation had a balance of s., 366.
The receipts the past two years have been
SS,S1, and the expenses 1881, leaving a
balance Of g. 692. At the same time Mrs
Julia B. Shattuck of Chicago, chairman
of the ways and means committee, re-
ported that $500 was a maximum esti-
mate Of the money needed for expenses
the next two years. There would have
been an Indebtedness at this convention
had not the officers bore many expenses
from their own purses, one woman having
given 81, 900.
This afternoon at the union meeting of
state presidents and state correspondents
the question of abolishing individual clubs
from the general federation came upon an
animated discussion, the idea being TO
make the national organization system
of state bodies. This evening in the par
lors Of the Brown Palace hotel was held
a reception for the federation officers,
the state presidents and the state chair
men of correspondence. At the central
Presbyterian church there was a COM
plimentary lecture on Colorado VS.. Switz-
erland by c. M. Hobbs of Denver, ar
ranged by the Women's biennial local
board
