That the NJ, K. & I. is doing a
thriving business is shown by an
item from the Deaison Herald, !,
which Gays: THE employees at
the NJ, K. & T. machine shops
have received notice that begin
ming tonight, the entire force will
work until 1890 p. m. every
night, until further notice. The
order effects the tin, blacksmith
and machine shops, employing
about 200 men. 1t has been found
necessary TO do this on account Of
the great amount of work on hand
and the shortage Of motive power.
Never in the history Of the NJ, K.

4 NEW DEPOT NEEDED.
The Katy Officials Recognize
the Fact.


our citizens to learn that the need
Of q new depot at this place Is re.
cognized by the Katy officials. l..
w. Welch, superintendent at Par
sons, was seen at the station last
evening and speaking of the mat
ter said ths subject had been re-
psatedly considered by the Of
ficials, even recently. "We've
got to do something" said be.
1.-THE present depot is inade-
quate." When asked in what
manner it was inadequate, from
his standpoint, he said we needed
better and more extensive passen-
ger accommodations. and that the
demands of the service required
more office room. That two wait
ing rooms are badly needed was
being at that time very forcibly
demonstrated. One side and part
of one end of the present waiting
room-a room which ladies must
occupy TO the extent at least of
procuring tickets, even if they
stand out on the platform-was
occupied by dozen or fifteen
prisoners, chained together, wait
ing to be conveyed back to Jail at
Muskogee. They were anything
but clean, had the Jail smell about
them, and were certainly not fit to
occupy room which ladies must
enter and remain in awaiting the
trains, one of which happened to
be thirty minutes late. And this
is not an uncommon incident, es-
pecially during terms of court.
Not only are passenger and Office
accommodations inadequate.
Every few days, notably Monday
mornings. the freight warehouse is
SO full that freight desired can
not be obtained without the loss
of considerable time and frequent
ly the moving of hundreds of
I pounds of other shipments.
When asked what was his idea
as 10 location, Mr.. Welch said that
if a joint depot with the Frisco
could not be arranged for at the
crossing. he supposed they would
move further south, and get away
from the crossing, which was al
ways an element Of danger to the
trains Of both roads. The official
thought that such a depot as the
company has at Wagner was what
Vinita needed. Very naturally we
Vinitans feel that the Wagner
establishment would be too small,
and too primitive for our needs.
When the Fort, Scott depot was
suggested as being about what ".
nita needed, Mr.. Welch looked
very much as though he thought
the idea OF calling tor what you
want bad taken firm root here.

Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett is a New
England young woman, who, like most
Of that curious species, is given TO
views" Miss Jewett's particular view
at this m is OF a dark and SOM
me hue, caused doubtless by the espe-
cia object-the southern negro-that
she has chosen to contemplate through
h gold-rimmed spectacles that fe-
males Of her class are addicted TO
wearing. Miss Jewett has been telling
a Boston audience all about the ter
rfble precautions TO which the negro
rs subjected in this benighted section.
and she and her hearers have worked
themselves into such a state of hyster-
les over the matter that something
really may happen If the negroes down
this way don't stop being prosecuted.
AS it is, Miss l.. Clayton Jewett has
decided that the only manner in which
she herself car bring relief to her out
ragged feelings is to- come south and
tell US to our teeth just what she
thinks of us-"Iazy southern barba-
rians," We believe she designates US.
The Boston audience will probably
stand off in the background and ap-
plaud the intrepid adventures, and
thus give some relief to its own collec-
tive feelings.
Inc truth OIL the nldlier - that inns
Miss L. G. Jewett is the type of which
Miss Ophelia in Uncle Toms Cabin
is the prototype. What she dosen't know
about the southern negro and his ways
it would take a twelvemonth OF sun
days to relate. In the old ~ante-bellum
days occasional missionaries-lika Miss
Ophelia-strayed down this way from
the north, and tried to make saints and
martyrs Of the black folks they came
across. But the negroes soon found that
the old marsters and missuses were
their best friends after all, and the
misguided northern females ~journeyed
sadly and more wisely home again. In
these days the intelligent, worthy ne
gro still knows who is his best friend,
and a regiment of Miss Jewetts cannot
make him believe otherwise.

The appearance OF the bubonic
plague in Oporto and Lisbon is dis
quieting, as it was expected that Il
would get no nearer Europe than Alex
andria. At Alexandria there hav been
about 80 cases, but the disease has been
kept fairly under control. In Portugal
it will probably be kept still more per-
fectly under control, since the popu-
lation there will submit to necessary
sanitary measures better than Is done
in Egypt or in India. Cleanliness is al
most proof against the plague and TX
seldom attacks Europeans. Some cases
appeared in Vienna a few months Ago..
it will be remembered, but they were iso-
lated n had no sequel. The epidemic
endures in India cities largely because
OF the superstitious and exclusive ideas
of the Hindoos, who object TO the in
spection and clearing of their filthy
dwellings. European cities have been
transformed. from a sanitary point of
view, since the plague swept them some
hundreds OF years ago.-Baltimore Sun.
