Silver Dick Bland, the famous
apostle of silver is dying at his
home in Lebanon, Mo. Mr.. Bland
has been in congres nearly thirty
years, and that continuously with
the exception OF two years.H He was
at the zenith of his fame in 1896
and entered the Chicago conven-
ton with probably the largest in
dividual following. Since Bryan's
ascendency as the silver leader lit
tie has been heard of Bland but the
cause owes much of its force to the
the advocacy of Bland whose hob
by it has been during his congress
sional career.

ENFORCE THE LAW.

Vinita is good place to keep
away from, especially these hot
days, if the Chieitain is correct
in calling attention to the
"deplorable sanitary conditions
that exist on every hand in this
city. The gutter on the east side
of Wilson street stands almost
brimfull of fifth continually, and
other streets and alleys are out
rageously dirty. That danger and
disease turks in these cesspools
needs hardly to be urged. The
expense Of draining and cleaning
would be considerable but the
town cannot afford to let the sum-
mer pass with the constant accu-
mutation Of foul matter in the
public thoroughfares of the town.
A scourge of fevers and malaria
will be our harvest If we don't
clean up" ."-Muskogee Times.
Merchants should take it upon
themselves to clean the streets in
front and around their prem
ises, as matter OF personal
pride as we'll as the health and
convenience Of their patrons. The
ordinances of our city provide;
Ordinance No. 12) Sec. 4. No
person shall allow any filth, dirt
or distractions of any kind to ac-
cumulate in the gutter in front of
his or her premises: and all own

A Snipe Hunt.

Oklahoma jokers took "green-

I'm regard to the second enquiry, will
say it will he time enough to answer
il after the Supreme court shall have

This week will see the assembling iii
Norfolk and Old Point Comfort of three
of the largest bodies of railway men of
Xmerica-thc National Association of
Local Freight Agents Association, the
American Railway Master Mechanics
Association. and the American Master
Carbuiders' Association.
The first of these. and perhaps the
most important, is the twelfth annual
convention of the representatives of the
railway freight business of America.
Ii will opcn on June 18th. and continue
to and including June 10th. The CON
yentiOn will he held in Norfolk, at the
Academy of Music. 1t is expected that
about 300 delegates will be present.
Besides the big assembly in Norfolk,
railroad men are interested IN the two
great conventions which meet at Old
Point, each to be in session several
days and each to embrace many hun
dreds of the most successful men III
their spheres of railroad activity in the
country. These two bodies are the
American Railway Master Mechanics,
Association and the American Master
Carpenters Association. While the two
bodies are closely related. they are sep
arate and distinct, though they always
meet at the same point, and on dates
very close together, so that the members
of one generally attends the convention
of the other.
The Master Carbuild6rs' Association
convenes June 18th, and will be in ses-
sion about three, possibly four. days.
In that time a great variety of subjects
of. interest to the men who superintend-
ed the making of cars of every charac-
ter. from the lumber gondola to the

THE JIM CROW CAR LAW.
Some Particulars in Which the Service
Might Be Improved.

The Jim Crow car law is working
most satisfactorily. The Southern
might, however, improve its service a
little by giving one whole car to the
negroes-one end frst-cass and the
other ond-class-instead of parts of
two ears with white people between.
Then the occupants of Il tirst-class jim
Crow car can pass into Jim Crow
smoker without passing through the
white ears and vice versa.
Then if the Seaboard will use for
white people the larger end of cars that
are divided there will be less crowdlng
and more comfort to the white people
and no less to the colored people. Not
once month does it happen that the
number of colored passengers equals the
number of white.

and also some indifference as regards for

OF iron and steel are either firmly held or
tending upward. notable in this respect be-
ing all grades Of pig iron and steel rails,
structural material and bar iron and steel.
Western and northwestern trade advices
tell Of expanding fall trade. Shipments on
fall account from Minneapolis tax the ia

very firm and scarce at that center. and
advces as to crop conditions point to
stories Of damage by storms and hot winds
being In some respects exaggerated. In
creased demand is noted at Chicago, and
business with jobbers is reported never
