POST OFFICE BUILDINGS.
The Constantly Expanding Postal
Business Leads to n Serious
Item of Expenditure.

The American method of conducting
the post Office business so as to give
''the greatest good to the greatest
number and &c profit to the govern
ment" has one disadvantage. That is
the impossibility of providing from
time to time, as the requirements Of
an expanding volume of business call
for them, new buildings for post offico
uses, or for tho extension of those al
ready in use. The American theory OF
post Office business is that as the rev
enues of the department increase IN
excess Of the expenses. the surplus
should be applied to betterments in
the service aud the recurrence Of other
surpluses provided against by a re-
ductioE 10 the postal rates. This sys-
TEN. which has worked remarkably
well in the past giving a steady de-
crease in the postal charges with many
Improvements as regards delivery,
does rot take into account the require
ments for new bsfilCiugs. and these
must therefore. be provided for b.
separate appropriations. which are

The newspapers throughout
the Indian Territory please stop
saying that Census Supervisor
w. II. Darrough has located at
Muskogee. Such statements
are misleading and cause any
amount of annoyance. The
census supervisor is located in
Vinita and his office is at the
United States court house, and
all communications should be
addressed to Vinita.

Of modern design, the collective value
OF which is certainly not less than
$4,000 900, and may6e considerably in
excess of that amount in view Of the
fact that in many cases the sites for
post Office buildings have been present
ed by the states or municipalities, as
the case may lie, without any cost to
the general government; and IL the
value of land be taken into account and
the expense of interior equipment
added, it is probable that the post Of
fee buildings represented by the gov
ernment and included, would repre-
sent capitalization OF 5000, 100000, the
interest charge on which would
about equal the annual deficit from
post Office operations, which is from
100000 to $10,O00oO0.
1t is under these circumstances that
the demand fer new post Office build
ings on for the improvement Of estab-
Iished post Office buildings is usually
by congress. There is eonsid-' 4,
.rable rivalry between cities il this re-
gard. The Kansas City post office,
when completed, is to cost $3.50, COO; the !
st. Paul post Office, 100000; the
omaha post Office, $75O,OOO; the Savan-
lah post Office, 100000; the Charles
on post Office, 100000, and the New

York exceeds all other cities Of the

The indications now are that
the Cherokee treaty will be rati-
fed before the Creek treaty is,
as the latter has been held up
by the secretary Of the interior
and the congressional commit
tees. The Cherokee treaty has
the approval Of the secretary,
the commissioner of Indian
affairs and of the committees
and is confidently expected to
pass both houses at an early
day without change.

An interesting specimen

An interesting specimen of
antiquity was recently un-
earthed near Redland by the
men running the steam shovel
on the P. G. railroad, at a
depth Of about twelve feet from
the surface. It is a piece of
sculpture about ten inches high
by about three inches thick,
and is a perfect design Of the
Royal Arch in the Masonic
order, except for the engraving.
On the face of the piece is a
strange inscription resembling
the human skull with some
strange inscriptions which are
nearly effaced. 1t is made of
white limestone and very much
resembles marble in its rough
state. --Ft. Gibson Post.

a glance at the map Of the

It would be a piece of very
great folly in the Cherokee peo-
pie to fail to ratify the proposed
agreement. 1t is not only better
than the Curtis bill, but incom-
parably better than the treaty
made at Muskogee and ratified
by large majority of Cherokee
voters last year.

Judge Clark remarked today
that he had had nothing to do
in making the proposed agree
ment, but that he would like to
have something to say in the
appraisement Of the land. If
there is a man in the Cherokee
nation that knows the value of
farming land, or is better ac-
quainted with the different soils
than Judge Clarke he has not
yet been located, and nobody
ever questioned his honesty
either.

against the new treaty is that
too much land has been given

may not be well taken The

CURIOUS CUCKOOS.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as a bird with a very fnonotonous note
a con,ulrous cry of cuckoo, cuckoo "
over amt over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as a bird
that never builds a nest for itself, but
takes advantage Of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is a good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead of
making a success of their own, seek to
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. 1t is so with those limitations of
Or. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of woman,
woman, woman write TO woman makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. 1t is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DR. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting ply
sician to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
N. Y. For over thirty years DR. Pierce
has made a specially of the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-million
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult Dr. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter is held as strictly pri-
vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed in
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
printing whatever upon them.

NEW YORK, JULY 5.-More than two
million dollars worth Of damage has been
done and several persons badly burned by
a fire which occurred at B y0nne this
morning. Twenty-three oil tanks. a Hun
garian tenement and a saloon have been
utterly destroyed and the contents Of
twenty-three huge oil tanks Is still burn
ing in sea Of flames covering over
hundred acres.
The crash OF a lightning bolt as It
struck one OF tie connecting lines at
1245 o'clock this morning was the signal
for the outburst of fire. Instantly
great mass Of flames appeared above
tanks 4, 5 and 16. and like a flash flew i'm
all directions These tanks are ninety foot
tanks and contained l,260,OOO gallons Of
oil each. Tank No 6, was split in two.
The flaming oil Immediately set the carg
on fire and swept across tine tracks. The
whole mass of flames leaped into the air
for hundreds Of feet and as the blazing
oil leaped and spread down on the ground
# carried the flames with it. This sea
of flames ran around the Hungarian tene =
ment houses in the rear OF the tanks.
The occupants had barely time to get out
OF the building alive and they rushed pell
nell over the ground to escape from the
blazing sea that was chasing them faster
than any prairie fire.
All about the yards the flames spread
and in a short while ten tanks were
burning. The Bayonne fire department
was helpless.
Heavy volumes of gas-charged smoke,
which frequntly ignited like huge sus-
pended charges of magnesium, drifted
across New York bay and the sea of blaz
fng oil was steadily creeping toward tn
docks Of the oil works. Here lay over
fifty vessels. including tank steamers and
barges. Lines were made fast to these
and they were pulled out into the bay
The flames had crept down to the waters
edge and even upon the water iself were
great patches Of burning oil that flapp ID
their flames about and set fire to sons
of the docks The tug boat captains die
what they could to save the piers and
then forced a semi-circle around the burn
ing oil and threw out logs to prevent
II from spreading.
BY this time the flames on the tanks
had gained such a headway that by
the middle of the day there were 81
tanks burning. The burning fluid haG
Its way, and as IT crept on the small
buildings in the yards they were con
sumed like paper boxes Fifteen oil
ears of the Union Tank line and four
ears of the Central r. r. of New Jer-
sey were burned The new refinery,
which was partially destroyed, was
commenced in 1896 and cost 81. 500 COO
and since that time many improve
ments have been made. About one
third of the plant is in ruins The area
burned over Is 125 acres extent. Two of
the tanks expoded tonight shortly af-
ter 10 O'Clock. These two tanks will
pro badly increase the loss by 5000, ,0vO
Earlier in the day third vice presi-
dent j. Fl. Alexander OF the Standard
Oil company estimated the loss at
81, 300, 900.
