recto. The condition of affairs here
is rapidly simmering downt to garrison
duty but there will of course be small
engagements of small import for some
time to come, yet civil government
and the civil commission are certainly
producing results of the substantial
order. Results such as were hoped for
when the time should come for such
movements in that direction as were
suggested by the administration could
be inaugurated. Patrol work and
constant vigilance will be necessary
however for many months yet. There
is too much tribal animosity to admit

am free to admit that here beauty is

While dancing these girls handle
themselves with an easy grace that is
marvellous, astheir walk at all times
is far from graceful. The dance in
this country is neither II hugging
match nor a foot race. The music has
been going now for abouthalf an hour
and probably every male dancer has
seated as many as three or four girls
and as often gone to another and taken
her into the whirl. Here one is at
liberty to seat partner and secure
another, and the chances are that
somewhere on the second round after
he has secured new partner he will

Z he New Sewer Change Expensive.
The REGISTER noted few days ago
th7t there WAS considerable objection
oh the part OF adjoiningproperty own
ers TO the proposed dumping of the
sewerage from Bricktown into Elm
Creek. They claimed that the back
water from the cement dam would re-
ceive and hold this filth and the re-
suit would he stagnant sewerage that
would breed disease and malodorous
gases. The engineers, Burns d Nc
Donnell, had this very idea in mind
when they made the estimate and so
after making the plan to empty one
sewer into Elm Creek they made Il
supplementary estimate, carrying the
BricktOwn sewerage into Main /, and
thence direct to the river. This plan
means that the outlet from the city to
the river must be lowered about seven
feet and IA pumping station kept in use
about half the time. The additional
cost, aside from the expense of operat-
ing the pumping station is figured at
So, 7S0. Bricktown and adjacent terri
tory was drained into separate sewer
for the very reason that it is SO low it
does not permit natural fall to the
river. The engineers tried to make
the territory in this section as small
as possible, hoping thereby to utilize
the creek without danger or damage
and keep the other sewers elevated so
the natural fall would save the expense
of a pumping station, save when the
river was out of its banks. The pres
ent situation rather stumps the city
officials and it certainly calls promi-
nently into notice the gravest problem
in the local sewerage situation,

To Reduce Number of Elections.

Sometime ago the REGISTER report
ed the introduction of a bill in the
legislature which aimed at the sup
preston of the off-year county elec-
tions. The bill never progressed as
it was objected that the legislature
could not Under the constitution do
away with any election. The other
day Attorney General GODDARD ruled
that thiswas not so, and but for the
fact that the time is getting short the
Legislature might wipe out the odd
year elections and make all county
officers elected at the same time, in
even years, with the State ticket, This
would knock out the election this fall
and the present sheriff, county clerk,
recorder, coroner and surveyor would
hold over. The chances are against
the law passing this session, which
would put it off two years.
Another bill of local interest Is the
proposed amendment! to the fee and
salary law to have the county clerk
allowed the same sum for clerk hire
that the treasurer gets.

village, against whom charge of lun

age is 70 years, was found to be sane
and intelligent upon every subject
with the exception of poison, which
she firmly believes will be administer

expected from her delusion. An effort

RECIPROCAL Sympathy.

In view of the fact that the Stars
and Stripes almost everywhere were
dropped at the death of Queen Victoria,
it is interesting to recall that at the
death of President Garfield the great
bell of st. Paulis Cathedral in London
was toled by special order of the
Queen. At the time a newspaper cor
respondent caIbled the following:
Tho most wonderful transformation
scene ever saw was on Fleet street
London, after President Galfield's
death. 1t became known that the
Queen had ordered the great bell of
st. Paul's to be tolled. an honor never
accorded, except to the memory of an
English sovereign. Fleet street and
Ludgate Hill were one mass of hats.
All traffic was suspended. The old
phrase "a sea of hats was most apt to
this scene and this was literally the
Black sea. Probably no one in the
thousands there had ever heard the
mournful sound of that great bell.
The immense crowd waited patiently
for hours. Then came the first low,
dull. sonorous stroke of the long-slent
bell. Instantly every hat was removed
and the change from a sea of hats to a
sea Of heads was most magical. The
English crowd stood while that Dell
tolled, with uncovered heads. token
of respect for the uncrowned president
who lay dead beyond the ocean.
