OKLAHOMA GLANCES.
Talking*, Doings and Thinkings of the
Territory at Large.
Oklahoma Star: liuthrie loves to
boast of her First Regiment band as
though every city in the territory had
second, third and other regiment
bands.
El Keno Kagle: An advertisement in
the cook book, soou to be published
bv the ladies of the Christian church,
will not only help to pay off the in-
debtedness of the church, but will
reach 5,000 persons who buy their sup
plies in El Reno.
Newkirk Democrat: One evening
last week, as we were on our way
home, on passing a certain place iu
the northern part of the city, we saw
a loving eouplc bidding each other
good night. The last words of the
fair one were: 4,I)o you love me really,
truly love me more than any girl you
know? Well, then, hug me just a lit-
tle. if you must, before you go. Fold
your arras around me tighter—have
you never hugged before? Draw me
near; draw me closer. Can't you hug
me any more'.'"
Oklahoma Star: The Mustier came
in from the strip yesterday and drop-
ped back into the smoking compart-
ment to better dodge the conductor
S. K. Winemiller, the big Kingfisher
mill owner was another occupant of
the vestibule, but he was there for a
smoke. The usual rain croaker had
been getting in his work about the
total failure of the leading crop,
wheat. M. Preston and .1. C. Calvon,
who had been up to the strip stopping
on their claims over Sunday, asked
the big miller, who had been over five
years in the milling business iu the
country and traveled almost con-
stantly over the entire territory, what
he thought about the apparently dead
fields of wheat (The train was then
passing in Kingfisher's vicinity.) "(ien-
tlemen," remarked the big mill man,
"if we get a small amount of rain in
old oklahoma inside of the next two
weeks we'll have a good yield of
wheat Of course," he added, "it'll
not be gilt-edged wheat. Rut a good,
healthy, profitable crop will be raised.
In the strip the wheat is going to be
gilt-edged," but this the scribe had
previously observed with his own eyes.

Gutiiuik, Okla. April 1.—(Special |
Judge Ruckner returned yesterday
from Payne county, where lie went to
look after several clients. In his
rounds he saw Dave, I. N. Terrill's
brother, and a sister, and talked with
them. Neither knows where Terrill
is. The supposition, however, is that
he is in the Wichita mountains, pros-
pecting for gold and other minerals.
He has always been a crank on such,
and has been there before, getting
many fine specimens.

The Direct Evidence In the Taylor
Mnr.h r < me All In The l>eren«« llejcltii.
Cahiioi.i.ion. Mo., March 30.—Th«
state finished the presentation of it*
direet testimony last night. It is the
general opinion that it has made out
such a strong ease against the Taylors
that there can be no doubt of what the
verdict should be. The defense in the
Taylor trial began at U o'clock this
morning. The first witness called was
A. W. Meyers, of Urookfield, ex-mem-
ber of the legislature and one of the
attorneys f« r the Taylors. During the
presentation of the state's case James
McClintock swore that he saw Rill and
(•eorge Taylor driving to the Meeks
house on the night of the murder, and
to rebut this the defense introduced an
affidavit signed by McClintock in which
lie said he was not positive the men
Were the Taylors.
William Gibson, Sr., and Reverly
Gibson both testified that they exam
ined the wajron-hed used by George
Taylor on the night of the murder and
saw no blood stains.
Miss Alpha Van Wye, the first wit-
ness to swear to an alibi for the Tay-
lors, was put on the stand. She
worked in a restaurant in Rrowniug
at the time of the murder, but now
lives iu Urookfield. She said that at 1
o'clock on the night of the murder she
aud her mother passed the bank where
Rill Taylor was cashier ami saw him
locking the door. They s|>oke to one
another.
On cross examination, Miss Van Wve
said that she had heard of the murder
soon after it was committed, and heard
that Bill Taylor was charged with it.
but she told no one she had seen him
that night. The first person she had
told was Col. A. W. Meyers, attorney
for the Taylors, who went to see her
at Rrookfield.
A HOILKK KX PLOSION.
Three Person* Killed hiiiI Three Injured at
Apple Valley, tin.
Harmony Grove, < ia., Ma roll 30.—
One of the most horrible catastrophes
ever occurring in this county happened
last evening near Apple valley. The
large boiler of the Langston saw mill
exploded with fearful results. Willie
Goode had just left the engine and was
standing near the safe when the boiler
exploded and his body was cut in two
and thrown several feet John Lang-
ston had finished eating his dinner in
a shanty r o yards from the engine and
was sitting on his bunk when the
boiler struck the shanty, tore one
side away and hurled Langston's
body SO yards through the air.
Nearly every bone in his body was
broken, and he was mangled almost
beyond recognition. The negro wom-
an cook, in a shanty washing dishes
when it was struck, was instantly
killed and thrown a considerable dis-
tance through the woods. Pieces of
her clothing were found on trees 20
feet above the ground. Ed Church-
well, one of the employes, had his
teeth knocked out and lower jaw-
broken. F. M. Langston, owner of
the mill, was knocked down bv the
concussion, but was not badly hurt.
Holbrook, the sawyer, was gumming
the saw when the explosion occurred,
lie was knocked down and severely in-
jured in the face by the saw's teeth.
The explosion was terrific, and was
heard a distance of .* miles or more.
The boiler was hurled 150 yards up
hill, striking the ground and bounding
up and down several times, tearing
down trees like a tornado.
Capital Stock Inereaneri.
New York, March 30.—The stock-
holders of the Postal Telegraph Cable
Co., at a meeting yesterday, voted
unanimously to increase the capital
stock from 810,000,000 to 815,000,000.
The money received from the sale of
the additional stock will be used to
pay for construction of lines already
completed and in contemplation.

tempt of the state of South Dakota to
I file on 5,000 acres of the best land In
the Yankton reservation for school use

ister at M itchell has declined lo receive

posed action was expressly forbidden
in the trcatv.

THOUIILE LIKELY.
The veto by Governor Renfrow of
the new agricultural college bill is
likely to make trouble. That bill had
iu it a number of provisions suggested
by the secretary of agriculture, and
which the government has had put
Into the management of all the agri-
cultural stations and colleges.
One of these reforms is an adoption
of the methods of the general govern-
ment In receipting vouchers and pay-
ing out money. Some other whole-
some reforms were suggested by Mor-
ton and embodied in that bill.
If that bill had become a law, the
institution would have been put upon
a better footing with the department,
and the business of the college and
station regulated in proper manner.
There was but one excuse for the
veto; and this, to this keen "business
administration," was the only excuse
necessary—this bill let out to the
bank making the highest bid, on ap-
proved bond, the $18,000 which have
been lying in the governor's bank at
Norman, aud iu all this time only
three small checks drawn against it,
while the account in the bank of T.
M. Richardson, in Oklahoma City, is
cheeked against for all the expense of
the station and college. T. M. Rich-
ardson may think he has a "stand-in"
with Renfrow, and that Renfrow loves
him, but he finds Renfrow does not
love him halt as well as he does Ren-
frow.
Since the legislative report was
printed, and one of theui got to Wash-
ington and one to Major Alvord, we
understand Alvord has been receiving
the ear of Secretary Morton and de-
manding a minute investigation by
the government on these points: The
cause of the governor's veto of a bill
practically drawn by the secretary of
agriculture.
Have Sec. 3 of the Hatch act, aud
Sec. 1 of the joint resolution passed by
the first legislature, been complied
with and properly emphasized?.
Alvord au ^Morton have uot drop-
ped their prod; they have taken it up
anew, and there is likely to be some
stirring news from Washiugtou some
of these days, about this matter.
Oklahoma Star: The fact that Gov-
ernor Renfrow has returned to the
Kansas City live stock exchange the
large contributions made by that body
for the relief of destitution reported
to exist in this territory, will prove
gratifying news to the people of
the entire territory, as it dis-
closes a condition that is not only
above that of accepting relief but far
better than is reported from portions
of Kansas and Nebraska. The gener-
ous impulses of the Kansas City live
stock exchange are, however, fully ap-
preciated by our people.
Mkdford Patriot: And now it is
charged that the great Serry Simpson
sold his quota of garden seeds instead
of distributing them among tho peo-
ple of his district. He had his wife
made his clerk at 8100 a month: drew
his allowance for postage stamps in
cash, $125, and let his constituents go
unanswered; and now to cap the cli-
max, when his constituents are ap-
pealing for aid to obtain seeds to plant
their gardens, he sells[the seeds fur-
nished him by the department. Aud
Jerry is the populist shining light.
Next!
The Alva Republican suggests Wil-
iam McKinley, of Ohio, and A. J. Seay,
of Oklahoma, as the ticket for 18U0.
Clothing, since the tariff dropped,
are so cheap that nobod}' can earn the
money to buy them with.
