pie and Visitors,
Mr.. o. T. Rhodes returned last night
from a months visit 10 Cuba. He spent
elk days in Havana and the remainder
In the interior. Mr.. Rhodes was i'm
pressed with the opportunities for IN
vestment and was quite enthusiastic
over the prospects in this respect. Good
order prevails in Cuba now, said Mr..
Rhodes, and a traveller could ride across
the island without molestatlon. AS to
the pecullarlties Of Cuba, Mr.. Rhodes
noted the scarcity OF birds and game,
although there were many wild ducks,
pigeons and parrots, and he was also
impressed with the lu1uriant vegeta-
ton, grass growing eight feet high, and
he considered the soil as among the
best on The globe. In several days
ride on horseback he noticed only one
snake, black snake. about two feet
long. Mr.. Rhodes trip combined busi-
ness with pleasure.

Ohio county board of commissioners,
held yesterday, was most important and
interesting. The board elected as sue
cessor to the late Otto Tyson as COM
missioner for Union district Mr.. Ben

a good one. Mr.. Higgins was elected
unanimously, receiving the votes Of
both Democrats and Republicans. The
committee Of the city board of educa-
tion appeared before the board and adj
vocated the levying Of a special tax in
order to provide a site for the $4,000
library building which Andrew Carnegie
proposes TO donate to the city. The
matter was referred to the boards
finance committee for investigation as
to probable cost Of suitable site. The
committee Of the chamber OF commerce
appeared and entered its objections to
the work of the assessors on the decen-
NAL revaluation of real estate. After

CONFUSION IN THE SCHOOL.

Sophomore James A. Norton, of
Ohio. who is always at fever heat
where the interests of old soldiers are
at stake, promptly demanded a call of
the House. For an hour or more the
school was in utter confusion. The
doors were closed and the boys present
were denied leave of absence. This
was peculiarly unfortunate for n mod
est. but earnest and faithful dcvotee
of night schools-George Edmund
Foss, of Chicago. Two weeks before
inns he had made an engagement to
address the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation of Washington on this even
ing. over three hundred OF these
young men were at this time seated in
their hall awaiting the appearance of
MIR. toss, who is n member of the as
ISOLATION. y sympathizing Christian
from New York. aware of Mr. Foss'
dilemma, stated these facts to the
House, and asked that Mr.. Foss be ex-
cused. The unruly scholars laughed i'm
derision. They evidently had no SYM
pathy for the diffusion of Christianity.
for they refused the request This dis
graceful action, however. does not APP
pear in the Congressional Record.
Some unknown government censor
struck it out.
Prof. Talbert, however, with a due
regard for missionary work, promptly
moved that the House adjourn. This
would have given Mr.. Foss an oppor-
tunity to fill his engagement. The ir-
reverent Juveniles refused to adjourn
and Foss remained in purgatory. At
10 o'clock Philologist Gibson renewed
the motion to adjourn. a viva vocc
vote was taken and refractory scholar
Hepburn declared 1t carried. Sophie
more Norton Indignantly demanded a
division, but the unruly boy from Iowa
declared the school dismissed. threw
down the gavel, and disappeared.
Prof. Talbert's fight on behalf OF n
system of compulsory education will
undoubtedly commend itself to the
country. 1t is sincere effort to con-
fine legislation within it's legitimate
channels-to conduct public business,
not upon the formal. but the real en-
preston of the House The purse
strings of the nation, 1t would seem,
should be Embossed by the House itself,
and not by Il fragment OF the House.
Either Talbert is right. or the Consti-
tuition Is wrong. and no one will ap-
parently recognize this fact quicker
than the old soldier himself. The peo-
pie will issue diplomas TO the grad
yates of this night school next fall.

LEFT HIS PULPIT.
And Compelled Young Man in His
Congregation to Kneel.

Qrwin. Pa, Cor Pittsburg Dispatch)
The NJ. f. Church at CircIeville was
the scene OF a sensational event that
mas caused great deal of discussion
IN this locality. Services were being
held and Rev. Mr.. Law announced n
prayer and called upon the congrega
ton to kneel. All complied exccpt one
young man in the rear OF the room.
The clergyman noticed this and re-
quested the young fellow to comply
He still refused, and the clergyman
left the pulpit and went to the side Of
the young man who would not kneel in
prayer. Another request was of no
avail. and then. n struggle ensued. the
minister bent upon forcing the young
man to kneel and the young man de-
termined not to do so.
The minister soon showed the on
lockers that he was master OF the sit
uation by forcing-the-young man slow
~ to his knees He-was a little the
worse for the struggle. with his watch
chain broken. but during the prayer
the young fellow remained in the kncel-
ing position. Rev Mr. Law proceeded
with his services as IL nothing had hap
pened.

Organize Clubs.

To the Democrats of the Indian
Territory.
The Democratic Territorial Con-
vention has been called by the exc
cutive committee, to meet in Ard
more on the 11th day of June,
1900. The object of this conven-
tion is to send delegates to the
National Democratic Convention
which meets in Kansas City on the
4th day of July, 1900, and to trans
act such other business as the well
fare of our people and the best in
terests of democracy may require.
1t is earnestly desired that every
community in the Indian Territory
shall be represented in this conven-
ton. The prospect for democratic
success is very bright, and every
democrat should do all in his
power to contribute to this end.
1t is highly Important that a
democratic club should be organ
lied at every postoffice in the In
dian Territory. Let democrats in
each community see that this is
done. By application to any mem
ber of the executive committee, or
to the undersigned, a copy of the
rules adopted by the executive COM
mittee. for the organization of
clubs and governing representation
in the Territorial Convention, will
be furnished.
All democratic papers in the In
dian Territory are respectfully re-
quested to publish this notice.
