clared to be illegal and he will have to

He has been released on $4,000 bail,
which, to say the least, is not exces-

or imprisoned for life.

This county is all excitement. The
Panhandle express that came in from
Wellington on Tuesday was loaded
down with deputy United States mar-
shals, to the number of thirteen, to-
gether with their horses and arms.
They were under the command of T.
Lilly, and are in search of the Dal-
tons. The Dal tons were seen within
seven miles of Fort Supply a few days
ago, and were traveling toward this
vicinity. Lilly and his posse started
out Saturday morning to lo:>k for
them. They are located on Chimney
creek twelve miles from here, and if
the birds are not flown there is liable
to be a battle. Rill Palton and Dyna-
mite were t he ones seen.

The commissioner of the general
land office has completed a plan for
the opening to settlement of the
Ilickapoo reservation which is made
up of about 250,000 acres of the finest
land in Oklahoma Territory. On the
principle that any scheme would be
more fair and equitable to the settlers
than the manner in which the Strip
was opened, it may be suggested that
the p.an evolved by the commissioner
is better than the one followed then.
By comparison it may be an improve-
ment, but it is suggested by the few
who are acquainted with it that it
will not meet the approval of those
who have been expecting to secure
homes in that reservation.
One plan is very s:inple and plain as
it consists of awarding each quarter
section to the highest bidder. I^ong
before the opening day the land oflico
is to receive bids for any and all quar-
ter - sections. Any one man can
put in a bid for any one quarter sec-
tion and for one aloue. There may
be a thousand bidders for one quarter
section and then there may be many
quarter sections that have not been
bid for by anyone. No one is to be
given a quarter section who bids less
than $2.50 per acre. The highest bid-
der takes any given quarter section.
The bids are all to be submitted by a
certain da3r, and then they are to be
opened and the awards made by a cer-
tain daj', the work being done by tho
department.
This affords the information showing
who is the highest bidder for each
quarter section, provided there r .re
bids for every quarter section. Then
this information is to be made known
to the settlers and they are allowed
after a certain day 10 take possession
of their claims. They will of course
enter into contract with the govern-
ment according to terms provided for
payment to the government for the
land. This is the part that has not
been fully agreed upon. The term of
years, if an}', has not been settled and
how much shall be paid down has not
been determined upon, but the plan is
one which will bring much money
into the treasury and aid in paying
the salaries of the officials and, in a
measure curing the bond issue ne-
cessity. It is reallv suggested at the
department that at least $2,000,000 or
§3,000,000 can be secured for the gov-
ernment this way taking it from the
homesteaders, who at best will re-
ceive the land covered by a mortgage
to the government of tiic short pay-
ment variety. It is simply a plan of
selling out the public domain to the
highest bidder instead of giring free
homes or turning the 1 .t '

fore letting them go the robbers told
them they were the same gang that
robbed Brown Bros, some months ago.
Elliott organized i a posse and started
in pursuit. They were tracked sev-

out any shooting. The officers think
they have the leaders of a gang of

I. N. Terrell, the speaker of the first
Oklahoma legislatnre, who killed
George Embree at the door of the land
office in Guthrie, is again at liberty.
Terrell was indicted at Guthrie, but
taken to Payne county for trial. The
first trial resulted in a disagreement
of the jury, one juror being after-
wards arrested tor being bribed. A
second trial resulted in a conviction
with a sentence to the penitentiary following
for life, and Terrell has been in the
penitentiary a number of months,
%vhen a decision of the supreme court
that a term of court where the judge
was not present the first day was ille-
gal, gave him another chance and he
was brought back to jail at Stillwater.
Another change of venue was given
him to Chandler, ami there the judge
lias just decided that he has never
been legally tried, and the case goes
back to the beginning and he must be
reindicted by a Logan county jury. He
is now out with his attorney hunting
bail. This case has already cost the
people of Logan county over $7,000.

and Censure Dtevens.
Washington. Feb. ,'7.—Senator Mor
gan, chairman of the senate com
niittec on foreign relations has pre
sentcd to the senats the majority re-
port on the investigation of that com-
mittee into the Hawaiian complica-
tions. It was prepared by Mr. Mor-
gan and concurred in by Messrs. Sher-
man, Frye, Dolph and Davis, the Re-
publican members of the committee,
who also make a supplementary re-
port. taking more positive grounds
than the Morgan report, while Messrs.
Butler, Turpie. Daniel and Gray, Dem-
ocrats. submit a minority report.
Mr. Morgan first gives a review of
th • investigation, declares that the
president has a perfect right to act as
he did and the change of policy must
be held to be a change of mind of the
responsible head of the government.
He holds that this country exercises a
moral suzerainty over Hawaii which
must be entitled to demand of the
United States indulgent consideration,
if not active sympathy, in her efforts
to secure full release from an odious
monarchy.
Mr. Morgan holds that the investi-
gation showed that when Minister
Slovens ordered the landing of the
Boston's marines there was a complete
paralysis of the executive government
in Hawaii and there was reason to
fear that Americans and other foreign-
ers might be put in peril at any
moment. The queen, lie believes.hr s,
by her act in deciding to absolve
herself from the constitution of 18~,7,
abdicated completely, if the people
( hose to so regard it, that constitution
Mid the queen'.^ oath to sup-
port it being the only foun-
dation for her regal authority,
she had been kept on her throne only
by the forbearance of the whites, who
own $50,000,000 of the property of the
islands.
MlNISTF.lt STEVENS UPHELD IN PART.
The report holds in part that where
there is no legal power to protect
I'nitcd States citizens no law of
nations and no rule of country can
lightfully prevent the American Hag
from giving shelter under armed pro-
tection, and thus the landing of the
Boston's troops was perfectly justifi-
able. It declares that the purposes of
Minister Stevens and Captain Wilts©
V.ere legit'mate and 111 good faith,
despite statements to the contrary.
High praise is given to the missionary
party on the islands as the one which
built the formerly savage domain in-
to a civilized power, and it is held
that the I'n't. d States should not hes-
itate to oppose the ex-queen's desire
to banish or l ill those who had op-
rosed her. Mr. Willis'course in seek-
ing to soften her is criticised.
The report upholds Minister Stevens
in recognizing the provisional govern-
ment and holds that the precise hour
of such recognition is not material and
reiterates that he should not be cen-
sured for that or for calling for the
landing of the Boston's marines, lie
was. howevar, exceeding his authority
in every way in proclaiming a pro-
tectorate and raising the I'nitcd States
Hag February 1. 181)3, and Mr. Blount'i
aetion in ordering the hauling down
of the tlag was in accordance with tho
duty and honor of this country.
Mr. Morgan I10U\& that this country
has long had 11 virtual suzerainty over
Hawaii and, while no direct state-
ment is made by him in favor of an-
nexation, the whole tenor of this
section of the report is favorable to it.
He holds that Hawaiian-, have always
studied and contemplated that course
11s a sure resort against possible sub-
jugation by another nation.
TIIE PRESIDENT'S COURSE UPHELD.
The report refers to the special mis-
sion of Mr. Blount ami declares that
he executed his instructions with im-
partial care and presented a sincere
and instructive report to the president
of the facts as !i could determine
them in the agitated state of opinion
an l feeling in Hawaii utthut time. It
is, however, held that the late devel-
opments showed thatLiliuokalani orig-
inated ti.e revolutionary movement in
seeking to secure absolute power for
herself, and she attempted to carry
this out while this American minister
was on a pleasure trip. The queen's
govern in
avoidably delay final action, both on
the part of congress and of the tcrri- j
tory for at least another year. As for .

ritory desiro statehood without delay I

for withholding approval of his con-

a function which he was entitled to
perforin. Therefore, tho committee
reports: "The president of the United
States has not in any wise been a par-
ty to any irregularity or impropriety
of conduct in his high ofiiee."
The report declares that United
States ministers would neglect their
duty if they should fail to give the
facts about annexation and Mr. Stevens
should not be criticised because he, in
his private diplomatic letters earnestly
advocated annexation. 1113 only real
fault was in declaring a r.rntectorate
and raising the American flag.
No resolutions accompany the re-
port.
vr*ws of THE REPUBLICANS.
Th 5 Republican members, after |
agreeing' to Mr. Morgan's report, sub-
mitted a minority report as supple-
mental and more fully expressive of
their views. This holds that the ap-
pointment of Mr. Blount w'ahoat
reference to the senate was unconsti-
tutional; that the placing of the United
States nava: forces at Honolulu under
the control of Mr. Blount and later,
Mr. Willis was without warrant of
law; that Mr. Blount had no
right to order the lowering of
the United States flag over the
Hawaiian government building and
the withdrawal of the troops, because
they were there not for a protectorate
but to maintain order and protect
Americans, and the withdrawal
created distrust; that the president
had no authority to attempt to reopen
determined questions as to the status
of the provisional government and
monarchy; that the Hawaiian govern-
ment. recognized by this ami other
nations, had not asked for or con-
sented to the president's mediation,
nor had it been requested to consent;
and that there was no question of tho
purpose of the president to endeavor
to reinstate the ex-queen by constitu-
tional methods.
democrats censure mr. stevens.
The Democratic minority dissents
strongly from that portion of Mr.
Morgan's report which holds that the
only substantial irregularity in the
com, t of Mr. Stevens was declara-
tion >f a protectorate. They ttold
that there was no justification for in-
terference i" Hawaii any more than
in any other state (iT nation. On the

or ny of his officers, thou di their
course was probably unnecessary. Iu
closing they strongly censure Mr.
Stevens.
Messrs. Butler and Turpie present a
brief report in favor of annexation of
Hawaii under proper conditions,
though not under those existing at
present.
the testimony.
The testimony taken by tho com-
mittee covers 739 printed pages, and
includes tiio statements of a large
number of witnesses who appeared
personally before the committee, as
well us affidavits sent from the Ha-
waiian islands and elsewhere. The
witnesses included ex-Minister Ste-
vens. Mr. Blount,a large number of na-
val officers, a number of residents of
Hawaii and several Americans who
were present on the island at the time
of the revolution and soon after it
occurred. A largo majority of those
examined said that there was 110 con-
spiracy and that Minister Stevens'
position with reference to annexation
was not known to them prior to the
revolution. The committee on safety,
consisting of twelve persons, made
oath to the statement that they had
no understanding with Minister
Stevens or Captain Wiltse that they
would assist in overthrowing the
monarchy and in the establishment of
a provisional government.
Mr. Stevens' testimony covers sixty-
six pages. lit; explained that his
reason for declaring a protectorate
were that the Japanese and tho
British were both scheming and tho
latter making overtures for an al-
liance with the native population.
Mr. lilount in his evidence said he
never had any communication with
the deposed queen until Dr. Bowen
ami Mr. Lowell appeared there and
were reported to bo authorized by tho
president to negotiate for her abdica-
tion. lie thought the queen as well
as President Dole ought to be informed
that this was not true. He had never
dreamed of such a thing as the rein-
statement of Liliuokalnni and never
heard it suggested until his ret lrn to
the United States. Be gathered from
the secretary of state that the presi-
dent hail not any opinion—was think-
ing the matter over.

WRECKED BY INCENDIARIES.
Tho Great World'* Fair Agricultural
molding Itutned.
Chicago, Feb. 26.—The handsome
Agricultural building at the world's
fair grounds was almost completely
ruined by an incendiary fire this morn-
ing and for a time other great struc-
tures were in danger. •
The llames first started 111 one cor-
ner and running up tho outside of the
pillars gained headway in the roof
and spread towards the dome in the
center. Once having a start in tho
lofty arch, its destruction was a mat-
ter of short order. As the fire spread
through the dry timbers of the roof,
burning embers soon began dropping
to the floor and the supports,
gradually weakened, at last gave way,
carrying with them connected parts
of the roof, and the dome pitched in
ruins to the floor. Its fall practically
put an end to the firemen's work.
Small patches of flame still were visi-
ble around the ragged edges of the
roof, but floods of water directed
against them soon drowned out all
dsnger of a spread of the fire.
The destruction of the dome left the
already partially ruined building even
more unsightly and it now bears little
resemblance to tho ornate structure
surmounted by the statue of Diana
which formed a feature of tho Court
of Honor.
But one theory was advanced at the
grounds regarding the origin of the
fire—that an incendiary was again re-
sponsible for the destruction. The
repeated attempts to burn the fair
buildings have been ascribed to this
cause.
The gilded statue of Diana was re-
moved about six weeks ago and so
escapcd destruction in to-tlay's blaze.

to Dr. Williams' "Pink Pills for Pale
People" have been recently supplement-
ed by the cases of two confirmed inval-
ids in one household in a New lOngland
town. The names of these people are
Fred C. Vose, his wife and his mother*
in-law, Mrs. Oliver C. Holt, of IVtor-
boro, members of the same household.1
To the Herald reporter who was sent
to investigate his remarkable cure Mr.
Vose said: "1 am :I7 years old, and
have been railroading for the Fitch-
burg for 1"> years. Since boyhood I
have been troubled with a weak stom-
ach. For the past 7 years I have suf-
fered terribly and constantly. My
Stomach would not retain food; my
head ached constantly and was so
dizzy 1 could scarcely stand; my eyes
were blurred; 1 had a bad heartburn,
and my breath was offensive. 1 had
physicians, but they failed to help me.
My appetite gave out. and four years
ago 1 developed palpitation of the
heart, which seriously affected my
breathing. Had terrible pains in my
back and had to make water many
times a day. I finally developed rheu-
matic signs and couldn't sleep nights.
If I lay down my heart would go pit-a-
pat at a g reat rate, and many nights 1
did not. close my eyes at all. 1 was
broken down in body and discouraged
in spirit, when some time in February
last, 1 got a couple of boxes of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, ltefore 1 had
finished the first box 1 noticed that the
palpitation of my heart, which had
bothered me so that 1 couldn't breatho
at times, began to improve. I saw
that in going to my home on the hill
from the depot, which was prpvif""
an awful task, my heart di<1 .it
so violently and I had ., breatl
when I reached the y . A/ti-rt.h
second and f ' onxes I <rr"v '
in everv i respe> t V■ Si*n..,,ch
been' -u-onger,.V' retching was
.j. so bad, my t< and digestion
improved -9:". my sleep became nearly
natu"' and undisturbed I have e«u-
"'.jod taking the rdlls three ..mesa
diiy over since last March and today I
am feeling better .an at any tim«
during the la*t eight years. 1 ean con-
fidently and conscientiously say that
they have done me more good, and
their good effects are more permanent,
than any medicine I have ever taken.
My rheumatic pains in legs and hands
arc all gone. The pains in the small
of my back, which were so bad at
times that I couldn't stand up straight,
have nearly all vanished, and I find
my kidneys are well regulated by
them. This is an effect not claimed;
for tlie pills in the circular, but in my
case they brought it about. I am feel-
ing 100 per cent, better in every shape
and manner."
The reporter next saw Mrs. Holt,
who said; "I am 57 years old, aud for
14 years past 1 have had an intermit*
tent heart trouble. Three years ago I
had nervous prostration, by which my
heart trouble was increased so budl/
that I had to lie down most of the
time. My stomach also gave out, and
I had continual and intense pain from
the back of my neck to the cud of piy
backbone. I ti 14 weeks 1 spent 8300
for doctor bills and medicines, but my
health continued so miserable that!
gave up doctoring in despair. I began
to take Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills last
winter, and the first box made mc feel
ever so much better. 1 have taken the
pills since February, with the result ol
stopping entirely the pain in the spine
and in the region of the liver. My
Btomach is again normal, and the pal-
pitation Of the heart has troubled me
but three times since I commenced
the pills."
An analysis of Dr. Williams' Pinh
Pills show's that they contain, in a con-
densed form, all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous head-
ache, the after effect of la grippe, pal-
pitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, all forms of weaknesi
either in male or female, nnd all di-
seases resulting from vitiated humors
in the blood. Pink l'ills arc sold by
all dealers, or will be sent post paid on
receipt of price, (.*>0 cents t liCs of six
boxes for 82.50- they arc never sold in
bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr.

A Portrait of I.anls I'aia.
The state department received from
the New York descendants of Lewis
Cass a half-length oil portrait of the
general, who was secretary of war and
minister to France under Jackson and
secretary of state under lluehanan.
The portrait is evidently a copy, and
the comparatively youthful appearance
of the subject, as well as the glimpse
of embroidered wine colored waistcoat
suggests that it may have been painted
in l'nris about the year IMS, when
Sumner nosed in his journal that "Mr.
Cass is said to live in a style superior
to that of any minister ever sent by
America."—Washington Letter.
"I am going out to spend the even-
ing, ltridget," said the master of the
house, as he came down s'airs arrayed
in full evening dress, "and I want you
to givo this note to your mistress as
soon us she conies in. Don't forget it,
now." "Share, and I won't. I"1 pu

have just taken off. She'll be sure to
