FREE EMPLOYMENT
OFFICES REPORT.
over 1000 People Receive Employ
ment Without Cost to Them
selves.

Guthrie, Okla. Dec. 13.--Reports re-
ceived by Commissioner Of Labor
Chas. Daugherty, for the month Of
November from the Oklahoma City
and Muskogee state free employment
Offices show marked increase over
mast months. Notwithstanding both Of
fees report business falling off at the
close Of the month owing to a reduc-
ton Of work from shortage Of material
and bad weather
In all, 1862 people enjoyed the bene-
fits Of receiving positions without cost
to themselves, most Of them being
common laborers who receive for their
services from S175 to $500 per day,
and who would otherwise have had to
expend in the neighborhood Of Sl,900,
based on charges usually made by pri-
vate agencies for furnishing positions.
The Oklahoma City Office placed
$685. Of which 799 were males and 81
females, while the Muskogee office
placed 154, of which 1l6 were males
and 3S were females.
Superintendent Vance Of the Okla
homa City Office in commenting on the
work Of his office for November, said
"Our business went to pieces the last
few days Of the month on account Of
reduction Of much contract work and
from shortage of material and some
bad weather; otherwise, we would have
gone considerably over the thousand
mark {"
Superintendent Wiley, of the Mus
kogee Office says in connection with
the work OF his office: you will note
things have been rather slow here dur
ing the past month, and do not believe
win be much better until after the
first Of the year There are not many
competent persons who want to work,
idle, but the town is full of migratory
laborers who are looking for lively
place and do not find it here and go
on down the line
over four thousand persons have rr-
ceiyed employment through the DE-
partment since July lst, says Com
missioner Daugherty, and still there
is a large surplus Of labor in many
localities in the state that we could
move if large employers Of labor would
advise us of their wants.
The quality and character Of labor
ers furnished by the department is far
above the average. owing to the fact
no shipping" is done and those sent
to jobs are actually looking for EN-
pIoyment, and consequently accept po-
sitions when they arrive.

fleeing the city to escape throng of

Atipe into the colored hall boys hand,

he hopes to get the kinks out Of his
tangled nerves.

president of the United States to take
all necessary steps to apprehend Pres
ident ZeIaya Of Nicaragua, and bring
him to trial on a charge of the murder

ing and denunciatory in tone and char

Senator Rayner, lis not the question
Df the beIligerent rights of the revolu-.
tionists, or In case of their success,
their recognition either as the de facto
or the de jure government, but in the
speedy apprehension and punishment
of Zelaya. This desperate is every
thing that the secretary of state says
about him, and great deal more. II
the country knew what is known in
official circles in reference to his gem
eral depravity. it would regard the
secretary's communication as exceed
fngly temperate, as it shows upon its
face the restraint under which he was
laboring in dealing with such char
acter
Il have watched for years the rel
volutionary history Of Central Ameri.
ca, and am familiar with the career of.
great many OF the importers and
usurpers and the grotesQue and motley
leaders that have sprung from their
chaotic Institutions, but Zelaya is prob
ably the most despicable figure that
has ever risen in their midst If he
were simply highwayman, we might
identity him; if he was simply a T.
rant who oppressed the people for the.
purpose of robbing them, we might
particularize him; il he was usurpers
who was only holding on to power SOL
long as there was any money in the
treasury to steal, or any further terri
tory that he could sack for private
plunder. we could assign him to at
proper place in the ranks OF some Of
his predecessors. and if he was purely
an assassin who regarded murder as a
legitimate profession through which
he could despoil his victims Of their
possessions until the time came for
him to flee from the hands Of retribu-
tive justice. it would be an easy task
also for anyone acquainted with the
political history Of Nicaragua to class
ify him.
He is however all Of these things
combined. In the school Of corrup
tion. dishonor. perfdy and crime he
stands without a peer, and exhibits in
one glow Of associated harmony the
pride Of every model and the perfec-
tion of every master I have been in
formed upon the most reliable auth
ority that the vices of his private life
are more infamous in their indescrib-

ing evangelists of tho country, is COM
ing t. Montana seems assured, &C
carding to an article in a Billings
newspaper. which takes 4 tone rather
hostile to the man who is wont 10

planned in the following, taken from
the Billings Gazette:
What He Wants.
Billy Sunday. the former major
league baseball player who for sew
eral years has been in. the public eye
as successful evangelist and some
what severe critic of about every hu-
man being except the members of his
large party, has set forth the terms
on which he will conduct a campaign
in Montana.
The terms may not, by the farthest
stretch of the Imagination. be called
Iiberal-to anyone but the Rev. Billy.
As nearly as 1t is possible to figure
the total cost of his visit to church
members and a contributing public
the amount necessary Is 500 That
may be little off one way or the
other, but it is approximately correct
according to Rev. Mr.. Sundays own
figures.
What Montana ministers who are
laboring all the year round for from
$1,000 to $1,000 will think of the propo-
sition, and what congregations that
deal out such pittances will say is
problematiCal at the present time. but
that they will be willing to put up the
$40. 900 for the campaign is extremely
doubtful

the First Presbyterian church of Hell

THE TIME
RAILROAD MAGNATE PROPOSES
TO CUT RUNNING TIME
BY TEN HOURS.

Chicago, Aug 81 The railroad run
ming time from Chicago to Seattle
will be reduced to 62 hours-10 hours
below the present schedule-as the
first move in war declared upon all
other western and northwestern rail-
roads by James J. Hill of the Great
Northern, according to a story the
Record Herald will print tomorrow.
The Burlington, Great Northern and
Northern Pacific have made appiiCa-
ton to the postoffice department to
put n new fast mail train in service
between Chicago and Seattle to make
the long run in e. hours. Notice was
served today by the Burlington that,
effective September Il, that that road
would no longer observe the western
passenger train speed agreement, but
would reduce the running time of its
main Chicago Denver train by two
hours. If the government accepts the
proposition. it will result in faCilitat-
ing the northwest mail service by full
ly hair n day. 1t is proposed to start
the new fast train out of Chicago
about 1:50 n. m. and arrive at Seattle
on noon of the third day.
The EurlingtOn's move in the direc-
ton of faster time between Chicago
and Denver may lead to another phase
of the promised speed war. Farmerly
the Chicago Denver schedule was 27is
hours, but now it is -299 hours. More
than year ago the western roads
made an agreement lengthening all
schedules to the Pacific coast. Short
ly after ii was put in force this agree
ment was broken by several of the
roads.
