Hon. Sidney Clarke was In the city
this morning. He is a member Of the
executive committee of the Trans
Mississippi congress which meets at
Houston April II Z, 81. and is exceed
ingly anxious that oklahoma be fully
represented at the meeting. In addi-
tion TO the ten delegates to be appoin-
ted by the governor Mr. Clarke thinks
that every county and every business
a1d commercial organization in the

thas IL is desirable that early appoint
ments be made. mo portion of the
trans Mississippi country has deeper
interest in all the questions that will
come before the congress for discus
sion than Oklahoma" eaid Mr.. Clarke.
"and we should be represented by our
best men without regard TO any polit-
ical conditions. Let Oklahoma emph-
asize her wonderful development of a
single decade and join in demanding
OF the national congress the passage
of such measures economical and ott-
erwise, as will do justice to the whole
country west of the Mississippi, the
fourteen states which have been Gre
ated cut of the Louisiana purchase
are now power in the nation which
cannot longer be ignored in the bene-
It's conferred by national legislation" ."

WHERE IGNORANCE WAS BLISS.

A popular physician Of Boothbay Har
Dor was married yesterday and was to
have taken the boat for Bath. The time
for the sailing of the boat came, but the
newly married couple did not put in ap-
p saranoe. Their friends vera there at
the pier with rice. old shoes and similar
things, but the young doctor and mis-
bride had given them the slip. They
drove TO Newcastle by carriage and took
the Maine Central train for Portland,
Some one discovered that this young
couple who quietly seated themselves in
the very end OF the last car on the train
with their dress suit case on the seat
behind them, were bride and groom
Biissfully unconscious the doct ,r and
his bride sat In this car, when some un-
feeling man crept up and attached to the
dress suit case big piece OF white pa
per with the words, Just Married."
printed in large letters. Soon process
sion was organized in that train.
Men and women walked back to ths
rear car tossee the newly married. pair.
The story reached the ears of everyone on
the train and all went back to see the
bride and groom and the dress suit case.
The doctor was puzzled. He tried to
appear unconcerned, but his fac, was
flushed and he forgot his assumed man
ner OF being perfectly at On o. Neither
the doctor nor his wife could understand
what attracted so much attention to
them, but the passengers on the train
enjoyed their joke all the more for this
reason. When last seen hunting for a
hack at Union station with this dress
suit case ana its sign in hand the doc
tor was still totally unconscious Of the
cause for all OF the attention which had
been accorded him.

THE POOR DEPARTMENT.
Views of Former Mayors Regarding a
Commission for the Government.

The subject regarding the government
OF the poor department as 1t would be
affected by the proposed new city charter
has aroused no litsIe interest in the city.
Many citizens are inclined to favor a
commission for the department. Others
are unalterably opposed to such policy
being inaugurated.
Ex.Mayor Charles +. Libby, who
was seen yesterday afternoon regarding
the subject, said: ''I believe In anything
that win give efficisncy. From my own
observation am inclined to think that
q paid commission would do the work
better than unpaid representatives from
thu wards. Unless the commissioners
are good men we would be as badly off as
before. But with wise choice so that
there would not be men who ore merely
time servers and hungry for office, l
think that affairs would be more salts
factorily administered.
Ex-Mayor Charles III. Randall said:
"I am not in favor Of a commission. l
think the people can look after the thing
themselves"
Ex-Mayor Holman S Melcher said:
81 believe In just the plan that has been
brought up in the proposed new charter
and which was the same as 1 advocated
before the legislature two years ago"

A CONTRAST.

Capt. John bennett of the revenue
cutter Woodbury., In speaking about the
Monticello disaster of the Nova Scotia
coast, contrastsd the behavior of the Off
GERS and crew OF that steamship with
those of the French steamship La
Bourgogne, which was sunk in collision
In 1898. The French officers and crew
OF the latter unfortunate ship In their
wild rush FOR life, killed women and
children, threw unarmed men from the
boats In which they had sought shelter
and behaved like brutes and worse.
Had they obeyed orders, acted like men
gers OF that ship might have been saved.
AS it was 1t will be remember ed the
horror the world felt at learning that
only one woman or all those ON board
was saved and bodies which were picked
up by the ship which had ollided with
the French liner were found horribly
mutilated and with wounds which only
the hand OF man could have inflicted.
"How differently did the men of
this Inflated Monticello behave" said
Capt. bennett in speaking of the matter.
Seaman Dunn, SO the story was print
ed, stood on the rail helping the women
into the boat alongside. He knew that
the people in that boat had chance for
life and that he did not have much of
chance by remaining on the ship. Still
he as an Anglo Saxon with blood Of the
right sort in his veins and he helped the
women first OF all. So 1t was with the
othsr men and officers OF that ship. Per-
feet discipline prevailed and evan with
death staring them In the face those
seamen. simple though they were, be-
haved like heroes. 1t does q man who
speakes the English language good to
read OF such things"

HEARD A GHOST.
Engineer Deering Jamped From Sec
ond story window.

John Deerfng, who for some time has
been one OF the engineers at the United
States hotel, had an exciting experiences
Tuesday night. The hotel closed for
good that night and MIR. Deering was left
alone TO act at watohman. He Eiaid
down in one of the rooms on the first
door, directly over the news stand on the
Congress street side. At 2 O'Clock In the
morning, he says, he was awakened by
the suspicious sounds. He is super
stitious man and he says ne has no doubt
that the noises were those of ghost Of
one Of the suicides that have taken place
In the hotel. After hearing the sounds
twice Deering concluded to make his es-
cape In quick order. So up he jumped
from his bed ana opening the window
jumped down to the street. Yesterday
he was sligntly lame, but otherwise feei-
ing no III effects OF his daring leap.
Last evening an explanation was made
which, however, was not satisfactory TO
Deering, who stlll persists in his belief
In ghosts. MIR. James Sullivan, who had
been night clerk at the hotel, was down
town late Tuesday evening. He I'M
locked the doors at . o'clock yesterday
morning and concluded to lind Deering.
So he quietly went to the room, and
tapping on behring's door called out
grufly to him Mr.. Sullivan receiving
no reply, looked through the key hole
and was just In time to see Deering grab
his lantern and jump out Of the win
dow.
Nobody can make Deering believe that
a ghost was not at large in the hotel
that night.

better. The voice of the people rules

II the people of all our communities,
large and small, would take time to look
into the marriage laws under which they
live, the revelations which would come
to they woult soon demonstrate the me-
oessity for some action. The ideal condi-
tion would be to have one law-and that

done. When we adjust marriage as we
shall adjust 1t, then we can give our at
