treasury is not known, but the treasury
will. IN all probability. call upon Secretary
Hitchcock for an explanation OF his course
in connection will this transaction.
UNWILLING TO OBEY RULES.
Numerous instances are cited by the treas
ury officials of Secretary Hitchcock's un-
Willingness to comply with the regulations
governing the audit of public moneys. The
Congressional Record shows that the In
terror Department has frequently attempted
to have funds placed under it's control dis
bursed without audit. and as often has ii
been defeated. The record of Feb. q, 1900,
shows that in making an appropriation for
the Indian Office ii was desired not TO have
the expenditure audited. Mr.. Cannon. of
Illinois. who will be the next speaker. drew
attention 10 this. and raised a point of Or
der. which was sustained. On Jan. 20. when
the Indian bill was under consideration, ex-
penditureS were proposed subject TO the
supervision of the secretary of the interior,
and his actions in this respect shall be con-
elusive and not subject 10 review by any
other executive officer" Here, too. a point
of order was raised and the provision was
stricken out.
Secretary Hitchcock has had a irving
time at the head of the Interior Depart
ment. He came into service in Washington
with the idea that men interested in public
lands and Indian affairs were ION the
make" and that if he scrutinized every
transaction closely he would always find an
African In the woodpiIe. There is an atmos-
pherc of frigidity around the office of the
secretary, which suggests the presence of
an Arctic iceberg. To the breezy man from
the West. who meets every one with out
stretched hand. the secretary of the interior
is a man of mystery. Does he ever warm
UP 10 anybody? was the question of "A re-
cent caller at the department. Not that we
know Of" said a subordinate, who looked
over his shoulder apprehensively. fearing
that the formidab BILE parsonage of Mr.. Hitch
cock might be in sight. Secretary Hitch
cock has had more trouble with the bureau
officers in his department than any other
membe of the present Cabinet. For dis
agreeing with him on matters of policy,
Binger Hermann, former land commission
ct, was forced out of office. w. A. Jones,
of Wisconsin, commissioner of Indian af-
fairs. who is n tactful man. has had less
friction with the secretary than any other
subordinate officer in the department. But
that Mr.. Jones is not content is believed by
those who are familiar with the action Of
the secretary in relieving him of all re-
sponsibility for the administration Of af-
fairs in Indian Territory. 1t is understood,
also, that the commissioner of the General
Land Office has been relieved of some of
the work which rightfully belongs to his
bureau.
The investigation in Indian Territory and
the differences between the Interior and
Treasury departments over the Oklahoma
townsite fund are expected to form topics
for breezy comment within the next few
weeks. J. h. NJ.

is II A BONANZA?

Oscar W. Rogers, when here one
day last week, elaborated a little on
his new system of telephony, by
which he promises to revoluiionize
the business and astonish the world.
He proposes to destroy the existing
monopoly by doing a business on a
profit of per cent, so that the annual
rentals of phones would range from 50
to $15, thus enabling every household
to have the benefits that are now ac-
cessible to but the few. What it is,
or when it will be ready for practical
operation, is not announced, but that
there is something to it is evident
from the sensation he created in
Hamilton, Ont. last spring, in a
contest with the Bell company before
the city council on question of
franchise. Further evidence of its
utility is manifest in an editorial
article in Telephony" Chicago
magazine. for September, in which
Mr. Rogers and his plans for lower
rate are both very cordially endorsed.

rich thing-half as rich as it appears

CUTTING ARRAY.

James Murphy and Edwin O'Brien.
two railroad employees. got into a
quarrel at Waverly, Friday night,
over a pocket knife. The knife was
one used by the men to shave them
selves at the railroad camp where
they were working, and was therefore
very sharp. Murphy cut O'Brien S
wrist, severing the arteries and two
of the cords. The injured man nearly
bled to death before a physician
reached him. The two men were fast
friends previous to this quarrel and
too much leaning against the thirst
counter caused the difficulty. Murphy
has been bound over to the grand jury

Mr.. Fred Turner met with terrible

came very near proving fatal. He
came to Arlington with four horse
team and got load of lumber and
arrived home about six O'Clock. His
wife saw him coming and went out
to open the gate. The horses became
frightened, apparently lat Mrs. Turner,
and the lead team swung around
throwing Mr.. Turner off the wagon
and the horses stepped on his head.
The team ran twice around the barn
yard and out tie gate and around a
two mile square and back into the
yard again and stopped. A box set
on the load remained intact with the
exception of breaking two lamp chin
neys. The load of lumber was all Oh
the wagon except one bunch OF
shingles. Mr.. Turner was carried in.
to the house for dead. DR.. Aver was
sent for but had no outfit with him
suitable tor so serious an accident.
He telephoned to DR.. Bower to go to
his office and bring out the necessary
instruments. His head was put in q
temporary cast and the next morning
the doctor assisted by Drs McLair
and Bower drilled holes through the
jaw hone and wired it together and
fixed him up in good shape. His
cheek bone was crushed in, the lower
jaw bone was broken and he was bad,
