The Tonkawa Weekly states that

The State (Norman) Democrat:
Burn all clumps of dead, adhering
leaves found in your fruit trees, and
save the fruit buds from destruction
by the tiny worms that have passed
the winter hiding in these leaves.
Tonkawa Weekly: This is the time
of year when that far away, intense,
self-absorbed look is noticed in the
preacher's eyes. The taste for yellow
legged chickens has appeared, and it
requires quite a lengthy mental calcu-
lation to tljjure out just how soon it
can be satislied.

Washington. April 11.—(Special.
Some days ago c. petition reached the
pontoflice department from Kearney
O. T., protesting because thepostoffice
there had been discontinued. There
are .',00 people in the town, and they
could not understand why the post-
oflice should be discontinued and they
be required to get their mail at Spear,
a ranch smaller town seven miles
away.
The matter was called up today by
Delegate Flynn and it was discovered
that some months ago, upon the
recommendation of Referee Sawbuck
Koss, Colonel Ellis, formerly of
Arkansas. had been appointed
postmaster. The department sent
the colonel the usual papers to be
filled out. and informed him that they
would be delighted to receive from
him a bond as an evidence of good
faith. To this the colonel gave no at-
tention. Another letter was sent and
again there was no reply. Then the
department asked Colonel Koss to
name another man for postmaster at
Kearney. In due time the colonel re-
plied that he had looked the whole
population over oarefollj and he could
not tind a man in the town fit for post-
master. I'pon this report it was con-
cluded to discontinue the office.
The fourth assistant postmaster gen-
eral promised today to have the mat-
ter investigated by a special agent
and if a man could be found to take
the position of postmaster he would
appoint him and re-establish theomce.

Thk world should not condemn Miss

Thk exceptions to the income tax

Capital National Hank ltalldli.f Carrle.l
to the Secretary of Interior.
Washington. April 11.—[Special.]
The secretary of the interior has been
asked to remove the members of the
tiuthrie townsite board for what is
claimed to be very bad conduct in of-
fice. It is set forth that the board de-
cided a very valuable contest, involv-
ing the lot on which the Capital Nat-
ional bank is located, and that the de-
cision was reached without the prop-
er notification of parties interested
It is saiii that relief can be secured in
the courts, but it is claimed that the
board by some means intlicted injury
on parties to the controversy. The
secretary is asked to look into the
case.

Mam Large, an old United States

Hierer from l'awnee to Perry. Large

milking, and in a tight Powell was
killed.
CriiAN affairs are attracting much
attention in Washington just now. It
is clear that the revolution is a much
more serious affair than it was at first
supposed to be, and speculation is rife
as to what will be the position of the
administration should the Cubans suc-
ceed in setting up a government of
their own. Without the moral sup-
port of this government, or some
other, it will be a physical impossibil-
ity for the Cubans to maintain their
independence of Spain, even should
they succeed in establishing a tempo-
rary government. Will this govern-
ment extend its moral support? That
is the question.
A GORMAN BOOM.
Senator (ioriuan's friends played one
of their highest trumps when they
started that demand for a southern
man at the head of the next democrat-
ic national ticket. Needless to say. it
was played against Mr. Cleveland; and
so cleverly was it played that it caught
the immediate endorsement of Senator
Hill, who apparently forgot in his anx-
iety to thwart Mr. Cleveland's hopes
that he was practically committing
Uunself to the (iorman boom. The
manner in which this demand was
first made public was calculated to
blind a great many ordinarily shrewd
people to the fact that Senator nor-
man was pulling the wires. It was on
the editorial page of the Washington
Post, an alleged independent paper,
that the demand first saw the light,
in all the conspicnousness of double
leaded type. Now, it is a fact well
knovv<e to those who keep posted on
such things that the independence of
the Washington Post has been upon
more tb an one occasion made a com-
mercial commodity. That being the
case it did not require a l'inkerton t<
connect that demand with recent con-
ferences in Washington of prominent
democrats who are opposed to any
further party favors being granted to
Mr. Cleveland, although few of them
are actually committed to Senator
Gorman's candidacy. The making of
the connection was aided by the
knowledge that the Post is controlled
by a democrat—exCongressman Keriah
W ilk an*, of Ohio, who has the Ohio
( man's natura! love for a political deal
| and no special liking for Mr. Cleye-
i land, although he doesn't object to
asking for, and accepting executive
i favors.
I Senator Gorman was far too smart
j to have th's demand for a southern
I candidate to have any outward ap-
I pearance of a (iorman boom. \et
that is exactly what it is. While the
demand is calculated—in fact, was in-
tended—to tickle the ambitions of
score of southern democrats, should it
grow into a power great enough to
control the next democratic nominat
ing convention, there is only one man
who is big enough and smart enough
to take advantage of it, and his name
is Gorman. There may be abler south
ern democrats than Mr. (iorman, but
if there are they have successfully hid
den their ability while Mr. Gorman has
forced the democratic Senate to re-
tain him as leader against the wishes
of a democratic president.
Mr. Cleveland recognizes this de
maud as a very shrewd move, and he
knows the source from whence it eina-
j nates. He is afraid of Mr. (iorman
! not having forgotten the humiliating
defeat, he suffered at his hands during
the late Congress, but he proposes to
fight, not only for himself but to pre
vent the nomination of Mr. Gorman.
Thes: contest* for the empty honor of
the democratic nomination are decid-
edly amusing to republicans. who re
gard the election of a democratic pres-
ident in as an impossibility. Hut
they are interesting all the saint

Delegate Flynn called at the Indian
office today and urged the appoint-
ment of allotting agents in the Wich-
ita reservation. He said the people
there would like to see the work be-
gun. The office lias given the matter
some attention in the last few days,
but so far no conclusion has been
reached. It is understood that Lew
Hornbeck, of Minco, and Moses Neal
of Oklahoma City, are indorsed for
places in the work, which will require
three agents.
Arre.t ol Two Welt Knono k y County
Cttlxen. Cau.e. a Hatinatlon.
A posse of deputy marshals arrested
Richard Jones and H. T. I.ane, two
well known citizens of Kay county,
who live twenty miles north of l'erry,
on the Chickaski river, for perjury
and conspiracy. The arrest has caused
a sensation. A well known deputy
marshal says that seventy-five arrests
will soon follow in Kay county on the
same charge. It is said that there is
a large band who have conspired to
beat people out of homes.
It would seem that patience should
cease to be a virtue somewhere and
that Mr. Lease would object to his
wife being investigated.

Thk administration must have,
through some of its subordinates, been
doing something disagreeable to Rud-
yard Kipling, the talented but eccen-
tric English author who blackguards
everything American ami still lives in
America through choice. Mr. Kipling
has been in Washington for a month
or so, and is credited with the inten-
tion to write a political story in which
Mr. Cleveland and all the members of
his cabinet are to figure. Whatever
his intentions may be, Mr. Kipling
succeeded in getting himself passed
by the sentry boxes, which, by the
way, have since been removed, and
the cordon of White House detectives
and into the cabinet room, while his
majesty Grover 1 and his ministers of
state were holding a council—perhaps
to decide whether the United States
should apologize to lireat Hritain for
having raked up such a disagreeable
old thing as the Monroe doctrine. Mr.
Kipling is as happy over the unusual
honor paid hiin as the small boy is
when allowed to visit the menageiie
while the animals are being fed. Sec
retary Lamont, who guided Mr. Kip-
ling through the labyrinth of execu-
tive defenses, thinks he will be real
mean if he writes anything uncompli-
mentary about what he saw.
One of the differences between the
republican and democratic adminis-
trations is that the republicans bought
in the outstanding four per cent,
bonds and the democrats have to sell
them.
