Evening song.

Evening Song.
Father Of heaven and earth,
bless thee for the night,
The soft, still night
The holy pause Of care and mirtb,
OF sound and lightI
Now, far In glade and dell,
Flower cup and bud and bell
have shut around the sleeping WOODLANDS nest;
The bees, long murmuring, too, are done,
And ], the oyerwearied one,
0'erwearied and o'erwrought,
Bless thee, o God, o Father Of the oppressed,
With my last waking thought,
In the still night
Yes, ere ] sink to rest,
By the Are's dying light,
Thou Lord Of earth and heaven,
! bless thee who hast given
Unto life's fainting travellers the night,
The soft, still, holy night

A Clever Collie.

"SIy uncle has a very nice Scotch
collie" said a little boy. "He is good
tempered, and he seems to understand
nearly everything that is said to him.
Directly he hears uncle's footsteps in
the evening he runs to the door to meet
him, lifts his paw to shake hands and
banks q welcome. Then he runs up
stairs to call his mistress down to din
ner.
Sometimes uncle says to him, Pup
by, help me move the table, and he
will put up his two front paws and try
10 push IT,"

During the civil war as well as IN our
late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one OF
the most troublesome diseases the army
had to contend with. In many instances
it became chronic and the old soldiers
still suffer from it. Mr.. David Taylor

of these. He uses Chamberlain's Collie,

Glorious News.

Comes from Or. d. B. Cargile, OF
Washita, 1. T. He writes: -Four bot
ties OF Electric bitters has cured Mrs
Brewster of scrofula, which had
caused her great suffering for years.
Terrible sores would break out on her
head and face and the best doctors
could give no help; but her cure Is
complete and her health is excellent.
This shows what thousands have
proved-that Electric bitters is the
best blood purifier known. 1t is the
supreme remedy for eczema, letter,
salt rheum, ulcers, boils and running
sores. 1t stimulates liver, kidneys and
bowels, expelspoisons, helps digestion
builds up the strength. Only so cents.

New Orders to Marshals.

The United States marshal for
the Northern district Of the In
dian Territory has just issued an
order to all deputies to turn 10 all
warrants for crimes contained in
chapter 45 Of "Manfeld's Digest OF
the Statues OF Arkansas. !" This
order reaches every crime less
than a capital otlense, and depu-
ties can now handle only persons
for capital crimes The United
States commissioners hereafter
will hold preliminary examina-
tions only IN capital cases. This
order IS caused by the comptroller
of the currency refusing to pay
marshals' fees in cases under cap
ital offenses. Conservative esti-
mates allow six months for the
Indian Territory to again take it's
place as a rendezvous for Grimm
ais. The officers are now power
less to enforce the law.

A Sunday Tragedy at Wagner.

Yesterday about A p. m. viii
Couch shot A. f. Riggles in a
livery stable at Wagner. Riggles
died from his wound this morning.
The affair grew out Of a horse
race at Wagner last Saturday, and
several race track sports were
gathered al the west side livery
stable discussing the matter. Fin
ally the discussion became acri-
monious and resulted in Matt
Welden and Riggles getting into a
fght. Young Couch at this mo-
ment pulled his gun and fred at
Riggles and wounded Matt We'll
don. Riggle was carried to bis
home where he died this morning.
Couch mounted his horse and tried
to escape. Young Riggles seeing
that Couch was about to get away
mounted a horse, grabbed a Win
chester, from man In the Gro wd
and started after Couch. He called
on Couch to stop but Couch urged
his horse on. Riggle fred, the
first shot going through the
breech OF Couch's gun. The sec
ond shot fred took effect in the

who dismounred and went to
barn. He was finally surrounded
and then surrendered. Deputy
John O'Brien brought him down
to Muskogee last night and put
him in Jail. O'Brien returned to
Wagner and this morning brought
down J. 9. Wilson who gave the
horse and gun to Couch.
Couch, ifreports be true, is a
pretty tough customer. He at
tempted to carve John Adams, Of
this city, some time ago. Riggle
was formerly resident Of Musko-
gee, having kept a boarding house
here when the first court was es-
tablished.
No time has been set for the
preliminary examinations of
Couch and Wilson. 1t is stated
that parties heard Couch say that
he wanted to kill Riggle and that
he did not regret shooting him.

OF runaways there are scores every
year at the barge Office. 1t seems that
whenever a married man has deserted
his wife ana children for a comely
young girl, or a married woman has
forsaken an elderly husband for a
younger lover, they make straight
away for New York, as il it were the
universa! haven of refuge. In most
cases the officials of the barge Office
manage to get the exact truth; for.
having no marriage papers, husband"
and wife are separately questioned
as to the time and the place the cere-
mony was solemnized. As both are
lying, their stories frequently do not
agree. 1t is usually the man who is
first to confess to the runaway. This
is because the woman has everything
to lose and the man everything to
gain, for he can desert her at win,
even as he deserted wife and children
abroad. and with even less compunc-

MK&T Reduces Rates in IndiaI
Territory

Ever since the construction OF the
M. X. s. T. Ry. through the Indian
Territory its local passenger rate be-
tween stations In the Indian Terri
tory has been on the basis OF five cents

Indian Territory has grown rapidly;
there has been large increase of
passenger trafiic on this account, and

Paris, May 1.-THE American pavilion
at the exposition was formally turned
over to the authorities and public Sat
urday afternoon. The Inauguration took
place in the presence OF the embassy and
consular officials, number Of high French
functionaries, foreign diplomats and CON-
missioners, and such concourse of Am
erican citizens that many who were pro-
vided with tickets were unable TO gain
admittanee to the building. Frencn mu-
nicipal guards and policemen formed a
Gordon around the building, keeping the
space in front of the main entrance, on
the embankment of the Sein, free for the
passage of the official party. The bal
comics were occupied exclusively by in
vited guests, while on the floor of the
building a double line of American guards
with white summer helmets formed an
aisle through which the official party
passed from the main entrance to the spot
where the presentation took place. The
ceremony of transferring the pavilion was
quite simple, consisting of an addres.

the Princeton team won by the score of 10

contest would be very close. A previous

out, however, that Princetons men were
