When We can induce citizens to turn the
cold shoulder to the agreeable scamp who
wanting their votes does them favor,
natters them. lends them small sums Of
money and withal has such nice way

man for the office. even though he does
not belong to their party, then we shall
be justified In building great hopes upon

rest and be at peace? From the windows
Of his soul go out the raven and the dove.
Thoughts gloomy and black with despair
fit across his mental vision and with
them, too. go the mild and gentle radiance
Of the spirit Of peace and hope. The pa
BILE plumaSe and hoarse croak OF the fa-

no message Of cheer. and even the dove Of
hope can find no rest for the sole Of her
foot. but faithful to her trust she returns
to cheer by her presence his lonely vigi.s

sends her forth, and again she returns.

THREE. SLATED TO GO.
Walker Are Scheduled for
Dismissal.

WASHINGTON. March 2O.-tSpecial)
Judge Hainer. of the fourth judicial district
of Oklahoma and William F. Harm. the
clerk of his court at Perry. have had a fall
ing out and the former has refused to APP
prove the latter's accounts. 1t is reported
that Harm, in ma king out his accounts fol-
lowed the established customs of the clerks
of courts In Oklahoma and included charges
which Harner refused to approve because
he thought they were not just. The mat
ter got to the ears of the judiciary officials
here and the department of justice sent
special agent TO inspect the books and make
a report on the matter of divergence be-
tween the justice and his clerk. 1t is un-
derstood that the agent takes the view en-
tertained by Hainer and disapproves the
accounts as rendered by Harm. From all
accounts II Is something OF technical
breach rather than criminal violation of
the law, but the status of the case Is never
thelesS sufficiently serious to make Mr..
Harms tenure OF office exceedingly precar-
iouS.
There is talk of the early removal Of
Dewey Wisdom as Indian agent at the
Union Agency, l. +. Agent Wisdom was
appointed by the late Senator Harris. of
ing the latter's life by Harris personal in
iiuence. Charges OF general mismanage-
ment are now pending against him in the
he will be removed.
Charges have likewise been preferred
against Agent William Walker of the kio-
likely soon to bid Il reluctant farewell to
his Office. Walker has repeatedly been a
source of trouble in his relations with the
department. which have always been
smoothed over. Recently he was severely
reprimanded from here for writing letters
ref,ectinG on the Dawes commission and
Indian officials. He is now charged with in
competency and similar offenses and is said
to be slated for Dismissal.

BROKE ALL RECORDS.
Cattle Received by NJ. SAMSON
ON the Kansas City Market.

A convincing argument in favor of Kan
sas City as against Chicago in being the
better market for Texas cattle was given
yesterday when N. SAMSON. president OF
the First National bank. of Alvarado, Tex,
sold sixteen Shorthorn dehorned 2-year-old
steers for the highest price ever paid for
such cattle at the Kansas City, Chicago or
st. Louis stock yards
The cattle were fed at the Alyarado oil
mills and took first prize at the Fort Worth
TAT stock show. When placed on the mar
ket here they averaged 1,26O pounds. Just
one pound less than when weighed at
Fort Worth: and were purchased for the
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Packing Conn
pany for S5S5 per hundred pounds. An
other drove of premium cattle. also be-
longing to Mr.. Sansom 3-year -olds, which
averaged l.6O0 pounds. was shipped to Chi
cngo, where they only brought $500 per
hundred. "'''' pe'
It had been the intention of Mr.. San
som to ship all his cattle to Chicago. hut
through the efforts Of the Chicago Live
Stock Commission Company and the KAN
sas City delegation at Fort Worth. he was
persuaded to give this market a trial. The
results were that not only did his cattle
sell for higher price at Kansas CITY
than at Chicago. figuring the freight at Is
cents. but at a higher price than ever be-
fore offered in the history of the trade.
One of the remarkable features in connec.
ton with the sale was that the cattle only
shrunk on an Average of half a nound IN
the shipment from Fort Worth to Kansas
City.
