Tlit* large number of citizens who
wi-iU 10 receive Congressmen Flynu
today on the arrival of the 1 o'clock
train were much disappointed. A
spontaneous ovation was tendered
hiiu. and Citizens irrespective of par-
ties turned out to welcome the man
who has done so much for Oklahoma
during this session of congress. The
procession was headed by the German
and California Medicine Company's
lauds. The militia company turned out
in their full uniforms, which they had
received this morning. The streets
wire lined with carriages and side-
walks thronged with people. But
Flynn did not come. Tlie telgratn
sta'ing that he would be here today
was sent from Chicago and he must
have met with some unavoidable de-
lay.
The procession in marching away
from the depot stopped in front of the
laud office ana T. <i. IUsley made a
few remarks explaining the disap-
pointment. It is stated that Flynn
will arrive on tonight's 11 o'clock
train.

The average temperature during the
week at Oklahoma City was 84 de
ir.vt's, jriviiify an accumulated excess
I f Ki.8 degrees over the average (or
this period. A maxima of 1(14 degrees
on the 'Joth is reported from Mulhall,
Logan county, and a minima of V) de-
grees from Anadarko on the '.'7th. 'JStli
aud J'.ith. I.fss rain has fallen than
during any other week of the season;
with the I'xceptlou of 1.70 inches at
Lehigh, sf at Mulhall and good show
urs at Kildare, K county, only light
showers have fallen iu a ft-w localities
of yery limited areas. In consequent
all unmatured crops have been dwarf
ed, the grouud has become so dry and
hard that plowiug is impossible and
till' acreage of wheat sown this fall
will probably be materially reduced
Reports from Chickasaw nation rel
alive to the effects of the weather on
cotton aud the present condition of
the crop, are conflicting, one corres
pondent noting the information that
the weather during the week has been
damp anil cool, thereby inducing boll
wor us, while another in the same
vicinity reports the weather entirely
too dry and hot. Such reports a e \ n
Jou ncdiy due to the fact that all the
lams have been light and only loca
in character. A ruin occurred in the
northern part of Logan county which
tilled a barrel from the eaves of the
dwelling house, while the shlngU'8 of
the adjacent outbuildings were hardly
wet.
The most favorable report this week
comes from Kildare, K county, where

week's bulletin, and copious showars
occured on Saturday and Sunday of

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

AB5GI1
PURE
CLEVELAM> A PLAGIARIST.
In the campaign of '*8 it was proven
that great hunks of Cleveland's
speeches were takeu bodily from the
encyclopedia. People generally have
known that Cleveland is not a great
man. lie has no original ideas, lie
has never said or done a thing to en
title hi in to be called a statesman, lie
is simply, as he calls himself, "a man
of destiny."
The people have liked him and voted
for him because he appeared to have
horse sense and a backbone. The last
session of congress put him to the test
and proved that he had neither, lie
acted the part of a scolding shrew.
He and Carlisle helped make the (ior-
mati bill and when it seemed to be un-
popular with the people, Cleveland
threw the responsibility for the "in-
cubation of trusts and vampires" on
others, in scurrilous letters, but failed
to stamp the outrage with his veto.
He proved in this that he had no sta-
bility, no nerve; if he had, he would
have vetoed the monstrosity.
His letters to Wilson were those of
a ward politician—very small business
for the executive branch of a great
government. Th? few tine phrases in
these letters, it now turns out, were
nnobied by copious plagiarisms from
Tom Moore and purloinings from
ither dead men's brains. Here is the
way the democratic New York Sun
xposes the great "trusty" of the
trusts:
Tne usefulness of a good working
library to a president of the United
States was magnificently illustrated
in the memorable days when the
"American Cyclopedia" furnished Mr.
Cleveland with speech after speech
for delivery to the mayors and citizens
of southwestern towns.
Mr. Cleveland is not regarded as a
scholarly man, but his library meth-
ods are still those of the patient toiler
iu the alcove.
Having on hand during the past ten
days the job of composing a letter to
Mr. Catcnings. and desiring to put to
C a tellings the infamy of treason in as
strong aud striking language as possi-
ble. the president goes to his book
shelves, lie does not take down the
cyclopedia as before, for he seldom
consults that once familiar work now.
except under stress of absolute neees-
lle reaches instead for his copy
Oklahoiuan: Localities in Logan
county report a wind that nearly re-
sembled a cyclone. It was probably
an escaping air current from the
breezy Greer-.)amison controversy at
Guthrie.
Ci.*vklani , from sitting on Gorman,
has transferred his seat to thy bank
at Hu/.zard's bay—and the nibbles are
about equal in each case.
OklaUomau: A compromise has been
arranged between the citizens of Pond
Creek and the railroad company.
Twenty citizens of l'ond Creek sub-
scribed 8100 each, and this 94,000 is on
deposit in the bank at Pond Creek and
will be given to the Rock Island if
they put in a depot there without de-
lay. The citizens who put up the
money receive fifty lots belonging to
the town and some cPy scrip. The
citizens have the right to locate the
depot. 1 hey will put in a permanent
platform immediately and stop th
trains and the depot will follow with-
out delay. The railroad receives fifty
additional feet of land to be occupied
by sidetracks.

Tins is the way ex-Senator Ingalls
ripped the populists at Wakarusa the
other day: "The history of Kansas has
been a record of successive catastn
phes, out of all of which we have
emerged to victory. We sent more
soldiers into the ranks of the union
army than we had voters when we
were admitted. We had drouths,
grasshoppers, inundatious, but if all
we have suffered from grasshoppers
could be concentrated into one grass-
hopper, if all the drouths, inundations
and simoous could have been com-
bined, thev would all have been inoc-
uous, innocent and harmless as com-
pared with the blight of the two years
last past."

Nevada, Mo., Sept. ft.—A report was
brought here this morning that thou-
sands of fish were dead in the Marina-

that the fish have been poisoned by the
refuse of the paper mill at Fort Scott.
of John Hartlett's "Familiar Quota-
tions." Turning to "Treason" in the
index, he finds first*
"Treason can but peep, 14LI."
That will not answer. "Treason
can but peep" is too undignified for a
semi-official executive communication
It suggests chickens. The next indi-
cation is this
"Corporations cannot commit trea-
son, ','4."
That is manifestly unavailable. It
is too favorable to the trusts. Next:
• Treason doth nev -r prosper. 39."
But it does prosper, and iis prosper-
y is what Mr. Cleveland wants to
c tnplaiu of to Catchings. So he turns
to the next line:
• Treason flourished over us, bloody,
114."
I hat might do, but a reference to
page 114 shows Mr. Cleveland that
bloody treason is mixed up with the
fall of great Ciesar, an unpleasaut idea
to contemplate.
• Treason has done his worst, 121."
The same objection applies. 'Trea-
son has done h s worst, and Duncan is
in his gravi.; malice domestic, foreign
levy, nothing can touch him further.
"If thi-* be treason, make the most
of it. "
'I he same trouble again in the quo-
tation from Patrick Henry's speech in
the convention: "Ct sar had his Bru-
tus: Charles I. his Cromwell." etc. Hut
the seventh indication is a find:
•• Treason, like a deadly blight, 520."
That's the sort of treason he wants
to impress on Catchings' mind. Going
swiftly to page 520 he scans with the
satisfaction of a discoverer these lines
from "Lalla Lookh:"
••(is for a tongue lo ertwe the slave
\\ hose treason, 11 e u • eadly blight.
Comes oVr the councils of the brave.
And bias at leoi la their boar of might.*'
.lust the thing for Catchings. And
so with patient, laborious care our
p- evident rounds out his period thus:
"I take my place with the rank and
file of the democratic party, who be-
lieve in tariff reform and know what
it is. who refuse to accept the results
einb >died in this bill as the end of the
war. who are not blinded to the fact
that the livery of democratic tariff re-
lo'in has been stolen and worn in the
service of republican protection, and
who have marked the places where
the deadly blight of treason has
blasted the cdin iils of the brave in
their hour of might."
It is true that the figures of speech
are somewhat mixed, and that the
patch line between the Hon. Urover
Cleveland's rhetoric and Tom Moore's
is rat her too obvious; but that doesn't
in liter much. It is a precious privi-
lege to get this glimpse of the actual
workings of a massive mind in full aud
effective operation.
In the record of modern disasters
there is to be found few chapters more
appalling than the story of the fiery
cyclone which swept through Minne-
sota, Michigan and Wisconsin. The
destruction by fire of $12,000,000 worth
of property and nearly 1,000 lives, in
one day, is a disaster that challenges
the imagination to depict its horrors.
The entire nation is thrilled with
sympathy. James Root, the St. Paul
& Duluth engineer who ran his train
through the crackling tlames at sixty
miles an hour aud saved a train load
of people, will go down as one of th
greatest of American heroes. It was a
brave, heroic act, accelerated by his
nodest declaration, "I did only my
duty."
