San Francisco, March 4.—The
steamship Australia, which arrived
Saturday seven days from Honolulu,
brought thirteen exiles from the Ha-
waiian islands, put on board bv an
official of the republic just before
the sailing of the steamer. Only a
few have been accused of actual com-
plicity in the recent revolution. The
others aro mostly British and German
citizens, who made themselves ob-
noxious to the republican govern-
ment by doing Loo mn i talking.
Among the exiles who be me known
as supporters of the r lutionary
party are Wundenberg, Creighton,
Peterson, Rathernil, Ilrown and Fits-
simmous.
The most important news brought
by the steamer was the decision of
President Dole and the cabinet com-
muting to imprisonment for thirty-
live years and $10,000 fine each, the
death sentences imposed by court
martial upon Wilcox, Seward, llickard
anil Gulick, the four leading rebel
plotters. This means that there will
be no deaths as a result of the recent
revolution.
Other sentences are: Thomas
Walker, thirty years and a fine of
$5,000; Carl Wideman, thirty years;
William Greig, twenty years; Louis
Marshall, twenty years. The last
two were fined 810,000. James C.
Lane was sentenced to five years and
a fine of 85,000. Samuel Nowlein and
Henry liertleinan, two of the leaders,
were allowed their liberty, they hav-
ing given valuable evidence for the
government, without which convic-
tions in ma . y cases, could not have
been secured. Captain DavieN, who
landed tha arms, was sentoncec to
ten years and ordered to paj' a fine of
810,000.
Although the ex-queen's sentence
has not been made public, the Asso-
ciated press correspondent was in-
formed by a cabinet otlicer that she
had been sentenced to serve five
years in prison and to pay a fine of
85,000. It is understood that the sen-
tence will not bo changed by the
president.
February 32 twenty-one rebels were

citizens-charged with the crime, but

CORRUPTION IN OKLAHOMA.
The Agricultural College a House of
Jobbery.
Gcthrie, Ok., March 2.—The report
of the committee which investigated
the agricultural college was submit-
ted to the legislature yesterday. It is
lengthy, but sensational in every par-
ticular It gives a history of the in-
stitution from its foundation four
years ago and shows that it was mis-
managed and the funds corruptly
used and squandered almost from the
very start.
From the very first down to the
present time, the report declares, no
proper books were kept and many
thousands of dollars aro unaccounted
for in any way. The board of
gents allowed one another amounts
running up into hundreds of dollars
for services never performed, and
sent one another on trips to colleges
in different states at public expense
and per diem, etc.
The report winds up with the state-
ment that "the committee believes
that there have been some honest
men connected with the college, but
they have always been in the minor-
ity." __
KANSAS G. A. R.
Noble Shepard, the shanty-boat
murderer, pleaded not guilty when ar-
raigned in the Criminal Court Satur-
day at St. Louis, to two indictments
charging hiin with murder in the first
degree. Shepard killed Thomas Mor-
ton and Lizzie Leahy on Christmas eve
on a shanty boat at the foot of Poto-
mac street Lizzie Leahy was found a
day latey with her head crushed in.
She lingered at the City Hospital one
month and died. Morton's body was
found buried in the sand a week after
the killing. Shepard made fully a
dozen confessions to the police after
his arrest. The case was put on the
docket for trial April 1. Shepard's
father, Robert Shepard. is her' in the
interest of his son. His home is at
Fairmount, Ind. He was in the glass
manufacturing business here 30 years
ago and has a brother now living here.
He believes that his son is innocent of
the crime. Noble left his home at
Fairmount, he says, two years ago.

dian Sunday evening a few miles
North of Pawnee. Campbell is charg-
ed with horse stealing. He was asleep
in the house of a friend with his horse
tied in the back yard when the mar-
shals appeared and he ran to his horse
dressed only in his night garb. He
did not forget to carry his Winchester
with him though, and a running tight
occurred for gome distance. One of
the deputies had his horse killed.
Blackwell Times says that the many
friends of Miss Lottie M. Hitchcock,
formerly deputy treasurer and clerk
in the office of County Treasurer Col.
Stiles, will be pleased to hear that she
was married on the 27th ult. to Dr. E.
E* Reichard, a rising young physic i in.
at the home of her aunts in Rensselaer
county, New York, and will make her
future home in New York state. Miss
Hitchcock was on a visit to her form-
er home back there when captured.
While her frends here regret losing
her they congratulate her on her new
happiness and wish her all the good
luck in the world, as she deserves it.
There was no more popular young
lady in the city with all who knew
her; and all will be surprised at her
"sudden taking off."

A Washington dispatch of Feb. 27th
says, the liklihood that Judge Scott of
Oklahoma will be removed increases
day by day. Last night Congressman
Springer of Illinois was practically
offered the place, the President inti-
ating to him that there would very
soon be a vacancy on the Oklahoma
bench, and that he might have it. Mr.
Springer replied that the state of his
wife's health would forbid his accept-
ance of an appointment so far South.
Inspector Newton's report on the
charges preferred against Judge Scott
was completed, it is pretty reliably
aid, one week ago yesterday, and it
is said upon excellent authority that
it not only sustains the charges but
discloses others of themselves abund-
ntly sufficient to compel a removal.
The report has not baen receivod at
the department of justice, but is ex-
pected by every mail.
People from all over the United
States come to Oklahoma to secure di-
vorces, but it is not often that eases
of martial infelicity are cadged acrcss
the Atlantic. But Joseph I. Manners,
by his attorney, Selyn Douglas, on Fri-
day filed his petition in the district
court asking for a divorce from Har-
riet Alma Manners, whom ho married
at Brixton Hill Church, in England cn
Feb. 18, 1885,and with whom he lived
until July 1893, at which time, so the
petition recites,she committed adulli'y
at Coacham Hotel, Redcar, iu N ork-
sliirc, with one Harry Towler, and that
then and there the plaintiff left her
declaring he would not iive with her
again. The maiden name of the de-
fendant was Harriet Alma Gibson,and
she now resides in Leicester, England.
The plaintif has been a resident of the
United States two years and of Okla-
homa the necessary ninety days.
A special from Guthrie to the Wich-
ita Eagle says: Oklahoma is soon to
be in the arena of the sporting fratern-
ity of the United States. A bill bus
been introduced by Mr. Little of Noble
allowing athletic sports and the or-
ganization of athletic societies. The
bill was introduced by request, its chief
sponser being Dick Plunket of Perry,
at one time among the most famous
representatives of the "manly art of
self defense," in the country. The
bill is the result of a general desire of
the prominent pugilists and atheletes
of the country, asking that in view of
the difficulties encountered elsewhere,
this territory grant such privileges as
A'lll allow the building of immense in-
stitutions such as the California Atii-
letic Club of San Francisco, or the New | ci„i
Orleans Club. Plunket has been East
for the last three weeks and lias up
money and strength for the bill. He
saw such men as Fitzsimmons, John
Sullivan and McAuliffe and they prom-
ised that if such a bill passed here they
would surely see that an immense
athletic club was formed and a fine
club house built at once that would be
surpassed by none in the I'nited 1
States. The bill does not provide for I
prize fighting, as it limits the boxers |
to using not less than four ounce i

of the Kansas legislature asking that
Fort Hays military reservation be do-
nated to that state for similar pur-
poses. Delegate Flynn will offer a
bill in line with the memorial from
Oklahoma legislature.
A Washington dispatch to the Kan-
sas City Star of March 2nd, says'
With to-night s session of Congress endod for s
season the active endeavor of Oklshonmns here to
schiuTO statehood. They have failed but their la-
bors have been well apont. The cause of the ter-
ritory lias been advanced and even t ongress has
been brought to somo appreciation of its merits.
The closeof the session in filled us well with sig-
nificance for the Indian Territory. The continu-
ance of the Dawes commission with the probability
that two additional members will be added is ac-
companied on its legislative warrant with a clear
warning to the tribes. Mr. \ ilas conveyed it In
his declaration that unless good results should
soon (low from the renowed efforts of the commis-
sion to reaah an agreement with the live tribes, the
United States must exercise its undoubtful sover-
eignty over the Indian country.
Statehood has been defeated but ••sooner- legis-
lation has not been successful and the entering
wedge for tho destruction of tribal sovereignity bus
been driven in tho reorganisation of the Indian
territory judicial system.
Throughout to-night Flynn sat waiting an oppor-
tunity to call up tho President's veto of the Okla-
homa Central and Arkansas x Northwestern bills
granting rights of way in the hopes of passing them
over the veto. The sundry civil conference report
exclusively occupied the attention of tho House
and gave no opportunity to him.
To-night tbf President signed the bill reorganiz-
ing the judicial system of the Indian territory, lie

Real Cause of the Miracle. --
M.
Todd of Long Rapids, Alpena County,
Mich. Shu has been a sad cripple.
Many of her friends know the utory of
her recovery; for the benefit of those
who do not we publish It to-day.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostiatlon, and in a few
months with muscular and lnflamma.
tory rheumatism. It affected her
heart, then her head. Her feet be-
came so swollen she could wear noth-
ing on them; her hands were drawn all
out of shape. Her eyes were swollen
shut more than half the time, her knee
joints terribly swollen and for eighteen
months she had to be held up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless, nnd the skin was so dry and
cracked that It would bleed. During
these ctght years she had been treated
by a score of physicians, and has also
spent much time at Ann Arbor under
best medical advice. All said her
trouble was brought on by hard worlt
and that medicine would not cure, and
that rest was tho only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
with her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover^lerself at night. The
Interesting ptV^l °f story follows In
her own wcj/ls;
"I was /arged to try rir. \\llliams
Pink Pltfs for Pale People and at last
did so. In three days after I com-
menced taking Pink Pills I could sit up
and dress myself, and after using them
six weeks I went home and commenced
working. 3 continued taking the pills,
until now I begin to forget my crutches
and can go up and down steps without
aid. 1 am truly a living wonder.
"Now, if I can say anything to In-
duce those who have suffered as I have
to try Pink Pills, I shall gladly do so.
If other like sufferers will try Pink
Pills according to directions, they will
have reason to thank God for creating
men who are able to conquer that ter-
rible disease, rheumatism. I have in
my own neighborhood recommended
Pink Pills for the after effects of la
grippe, and weak women with Impure
blood, nnd with good results."
Mrs. Todd Is very strong In her faith
