RumoRso SALE OF cHocTAw.

There is a well-founded rumor here

these negotiations have progressed Is
ret kaown but it was stated on go6d

when asked about the matter las

Guides. together with tn" branch lines
a trackage OF about 600 miles.
For some time the Rock Island has
been using every means to operate the
ChoctaW with the least possible eX'
pense, and recent financial reports
have shown that the road has been in
some cases operated at a loss. This.
coupled with the fact that the operat-
materially reduced within the past few
months, might show that some such
change was contemplated by the Rock
Island.
In this connection it is stated that
very little of the Rock Island and
Western business to Eastern points
Memphis, but has been detoured via
Kansas City over the company's own
lines, since the Rock Island has no
line from Memphis entering the east
ern markets.
1t has also been noted that the Rock
Island has for the past few months
been confining their extensions to-
their lines in Oklahoma and IndiaN
Territory. and it is thought that III :

time would enable, the Rock Isl md to

On the other hand it is thought by

THE PROPOSED PRIMARY LAW.

The direct primary law that is tC

The Journal has always contended
for the principle of direct nomination,
as it has for a registration law, but
it is doubtful about both.
The registration law has proven a
wretched failure. 1t puts the honest
voter to expense and trouble, and let's
in all the frauds.

probably got up by one man, and he
faddist and theorist. 1t is a speci-

The proposed direct primary law
was the work Of one man-W. S.
U'Ren, Of Oregon City. It was hasti
ly endorsed by prominent politicians
who never gave the subject sufficient
consideration.
The newspapers of the state and
the politicians of the state all seem
afraid to dig into the merits and de-
merits of this matter and the chances
are the law will be adopted.
That 1t will be a dead letter and in.
operative no one can doubt. II prac.

ASSIST THE ENuMERAToRs.

Mayor Waters has asked all the cit

complete ana correct census of Sa,
lem.
This city has suffered the disgrace
long enough of being counted on the
map OF the world as city of 425S.
The census was taken by govern.
ment enumerators. at time of year
when many were away from town.
The enumeration of 425S was also
of the people in the four old wards of
the city, with half the city outside of
those city limits.
BY the new charsar there have been
three wards added to the city. having
from 1000 to 2OOO in population.
To have the real population of the
city correctly enumerated and official
ly declared will show that Salem has
10000.
We say 10000 because we believe
that II will not be shown to have less
than that Possibly Salem will be
shown to have much more.

help make this census complete. and

A TEXAS POEM

The boys at the S. P. depot at AL.
bany received a long letter from Mort
Poulsen, freight clerk, now in Den
mark on a visit after an absence of
fifteen years. His descriptions are
graphic of different sections visited in
America and Europe and were read
with great interest by his friends
around the depot He thought he
might leave Copenhagen for Albany
about the 9TH of May, but was not
certain. If so he would get home
the first of June.
Perhaps no part of Mort's trip i'm
pressed him more than the ride
through Texas which he has described
in the following poem, dedicated to
the Albany Democrat man:
The Devil in hell we're told was
chained,
And a thousand years Ne there re.
mained.
He neither complained or did he groan
But determined to start hell of his
own,
Where he could torment the souls of
men
Without being chained in prison
pen,
So he asked the Lord if he had on
hand
Anything left when he made his land.
The Lord said, Yes" had plenty on
hand,
But l left it down on the Rio Grande.
The fact is FOLD boy" the stuff is so
poor
don't think you can use it in hell
any more"
But the Devil went down to look at
the truck
For after examining it carefully and
well,
He concluded the place was too dry
for hell.
So in order to get it off His hand
The Lord promised the Devil to water
the land,
For he had some water or rather
some dregs,
A regular cathartic that smelled like
bad eggs.
Hence the trade was closed, the deed
was given,
And the Lord went back to his home
in Heaven;
The Devil said to himself, Il have all
that is needed
To make a good hell" and here ne
succeeded.
He began by putting thorns all over
the trees,
And mixed up the sand with millions
of feas;
He scattered tarantulas along the
roads,
Put thorns on the cactus, and horns
on the toads.
He heightened the horns on the Texas
steers,
And put an addition to the rabbits
ears;
He put a little devil in the broncho
steed,
And poisoned the feet of the cent?
pede.
The rattlesnake bites you, the scor-
pion stings,
The mosquito delights you with his
buzzin wings
The san-burrs prevail, and so do the
ants,
And those who sit down need half
soles on their pants

and ten,
roo hot for the devil and too hot for
men;

Tis hell of a place that he has for

Report That General XaSSalitch' S
Corps Had Been Lost
Proves Untrue.
WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED

The day has brought no news Of a
positive character from either the Rus

been no fighting and if any movements
are being carried out they are thor
oughly yelled.
The rains continue and it is prob
able that with impossible roads and
the exhausted condition Of both armies
no extended operations are immedi-
ately probable.

the London Morning Post to the effect
that General Zassalitch's S corps had
been captured and Zassalitch wound
ed proves to be as false as the major,
lty OF the war rumOrs emanatlng from

nial is given that report, as well as
various others originating in the Brit
ish and European press, particularly

that General Linevitch had marched
