that thia government it Hill paying

bureau, expreeaes the opinion that the

Oklahoma cotton this season shows

Gristmill Jones, the Oklahoma
Town railroad magnate, says he
"thinks thinks the Frisco will extend
to Oklahoma City by January 1."
Griatmill has another think tcoming.
All the members of the new su
preme court of Oklahoma are now so-
journing in Waahington. The new
court will probably organize at the
nation's capital and come west with
the rest of the circuses.
The way to keep Guthrie beautiful

The capital city haB another trou-
ble. It is a preponderance of "knock-

wolf that inserts his fangs into thiugs

sin. Kill him.
A piece of dried sausage was dis-
covered among the articles brought
into court by the prosecution at the
Leutgert trial at Chicago. As it waB
manufactured before the murder, the
court would not permit it to be welded
in as a link in the chain of evidence.
Messrs. C. R. Brooks and E. D. Nix
have submitted a proposition to the
council for supplying the city with
ail-night lights. The proposition is
clear and liberal. The council has
been waiting for a chance to reward
enterprise. Now let's sec what the
august body will do in the electrio
light case.
President McKinlky and his politi-
cal family will discusB Ohio politics at
a meeting of the cabinet today. It
will be an innovation for the United
States department officials to meet
sp- ally for such a purpose but the
act will probably be justified by the
fact that Hanna's chances in the Buck-
eye state are not of the brightest.
Repurlicans would rather not talk
about the deficit of about $26,000,000
6bown by the official figures of the
government's receipts and expendi-
tures for July and August, the first
two montlia of the new fiscal year.
They have already done too much
talking about the surplus that the
new tariff was certainly going to pro-
duce.
Passenger trains going north these
days carry scores of girls enroute for
eastern and northern seminaries and
schools. It is rare, indeed, to see
southbound pupils. This should not
be anu a half decade more will witness
a change. Our educational facilities
are raj/dly increasing, and almost
: , y itvM. ofc any eastern states.
Even now it is not necessary for young
men and ladies to leave the territory
to secure first-class educations with
finishing accompaniments.
"It seems to me that the prwtio* it

lalation to prevent a pension beiag
given widows of soldiers of the laat
war who marry the aoldiert ia the
future. Inttancet have been reported
to the bureau of peotiont whieh thow
that women have married pensioner*
on their death bedt In older that a
widow't pension might be secured.*'
The question of the nation't obligs
tions to its patriotic defenders does not
enter into this discussion. As has
been expressed in these columns here-
tofore, there Is no desire to urge legis-
lation that will affect the bestowing
of a just bounty upon those who
earned consideration through brave
deeds during perilous times, but there
are many reasons why young widows
of aged pensioners should not share in
this bounty.
The people owe no debt of gratitude
to this class of pensioners and should
not be taxed to support them. The
burden the government is now carry-
ing is heavy enough and should not be
increased. The pension is a premium
on celibacy, for if a pensioned widow
marries again her support from the
government ceases.
it is to be hoped that Commissioner
Evans will make a recommendation to
congress along the lines he has sug-
gested, and that a bill covering the
matter in question will be passed.

Several papers in Oklahoma appear
to take aeen delight in heaping base
calumny on the head of Judge Henry
W. Scott, late judge of the Third ju-
dicial diatrict The fact that Mr
Scott is far removed from the terri-
tory and is unable to defend himself,
Increases immeasurably this fiendish,
animal delight. The following is
sample of the rot served up:
A lawyer of Oklahoma City, failing
after repeated letters to him to receive
any satisfaction, recently 6ent to
lawyer in New York City a $50 account
against Judge Henry W. Scott for col
lection. He received a reply that it
was uncollestible, and that Scott had
nothing in sight that could be levied
upon. "Sic transit gloria mundi.
--ferry Enterprise-Times.
Pottawatomie county can go Okla-
homa City one better. A good, honest
farmer of this county, who lent Scott
*100, received the same reply from
New York. Next'.'—Shawnee Blade.
What good cin come of circulating
such vile slanders is |hard to divine.
Judge Scott is not now a resident of
the territory and has no ambitions
touching future territorial events.
While in the territory, Scott gained
notoriety on account of his idiosyn-
cracies, but at no time was he ever
charged with dishonesty. The Leader
dares to assert that the above charges
are base fabrications, inspired by low-
minded individuals at Oklahoma City,
who are still smarting from prompt
justice meted out to them by Scott.
Judge Scott is now permanently lo-
cated in New York, is enjoying a lucra-
tive practice, and is liquidating all his
bills.
UIVK UN MOKK LIGHT
The city council has before it for
consideration a proposition looking to
the establishment in this city of a new
electric light system which will do
away entirely with moonlight seances
and afford the city a chance to shim-
mer all night long under the refulgent
glare of lights that really burn and
give light. For Beveral years this
town has been stumbling and groping
around in the darkness, with the aid
of electric lights that possess no more
emotion or leeling than a parlor
match—used for Illuminating pur-
poses. The present plant is blind and
string-haltered and has been provoca-
tive of more stern, rasping ejacula-
tions than a time-worn Alaskan map
wanted for present purposes.
The projectors of the new light sys-
tem are Messrs. C. R. Brooks and E. D.
Nix, two well-known Guthrie citizens.
They have tendered a liberal and
broad-gauged offer to the council end
its immediate acceptance will result
In immeasurable benefit to the city.
Messrs. Brooks and Nix ask for a 20-
year electric light franchise which, if
accepted, will insure the building of a
$23,000 plant, with sufficient capacity
to supply light to a city of 45,000 popu-
lation. They desire a contract for
thirty-eight or more arc lights at $0.60
a month each, to burn from dusk until
1 o'clock, or all night for 89 a month.
The present service is far below the
contract candle power, yet
the city pays $5.50 for each
arc light every month. Where
the present company charges
$1.25 each per month for incandescents
from 7 to 1 o'clock, Messrs. Brooks
and Nix agree to furnish incandescents
of higher grade and stronger candle
power for 75 cents a mouth to business
houses, the lights to burn until 10
o'clock; $1.00 to 12 o'clock and $1.25 all

IN U00D CONDITION
Are Territorial Banks.—Increased De-
posits and 51 Per 3ent Reserve
Governor Barnes yesterday received
from Bank Examiner John l'ugh a
statement of the financial condition of
the state and private banks of Okla-
homa at the close of business July 23,
1897, which shows the Oklahoma
banks in a thriving condition. Of the
forty-nine banks twenty have been ex-
amined and in each case the reserve
has been found to be far in excess of
that required by law. The minimum
cash reserve allowed by law ia 15 per
cent—the actual cash reserve July 23
was 51 per cent. Practically, all these
deposits are owned by farmers ar.d
business men. Examiner Pugli says
the deposits have increased 25 per cent
in the last two months, which goes to
show that the farmers and business
men are getting on a cash basis and
are enjoying bank accounts. This is
a remurkable show.ag for so young a
territory, where everything has been
taken out of the earth in from four to
eight years.
In addition to the state and private
banks there are live national banks
not included in this report with a cap-
ital stock of a quarter million dollars.
The deposits in these banks in May
last were nearly 8000,000; 843,800 un-
divided profit sand surplus and $370,-
000 loans.

Stillwater, Okie., Sept. 14.—The
Agricultural college opened this week

tory and students from all parts of the
territory are arriving. Numerous ad-
ditions have bnen made to the various
departments this summer, especially
to the library ana chemical laboratory.
The president and faculty have all re-
turned from their vacations and are
taking hold of the wcrk with vim and
vigor. The college has consented to

use hia strength against hers, solely
for the purpose of preventing her
from doing him bodily harm. The
defendant alleges thai his alleged wife
I potse*tet an outrageous temper, and is
addicted to gadding about; that she is
| extravsgant; that she has driven him-
I self and son from their home and that
for "five weeks she allowed his son's
bed and cloth ng to be uncar.'d for";
that she melted his earnings and
plunged him into debt. At the time
of the "pretended marriage" the "de-
fendant's business netted him 9150 a
month, but the plaintiff's high style
of living took all his earning and
caused him to mortgsge his home."
Various other allegations are made by
the defendant, who asks that the pre-
tended marriage between plaintiff and
defendant be by the court declared
null and void, and of no force snd
effect; that the prayers of the plaint-
iff's petition be denied and refused;
that the defendant recover of the
plaintiff the costs of this action and
that the defendant have such other re-
lief as to the court may seem just and
equitable.
Should the defendant's allegations
concerning his wife's ''divorce" be sus-
tained, it is likely that proceedings
much more sensational than a divorce
suit will follow.

WILL ENFORCE THE LAW.
Ginners Violating Cotton Statutes
Must Suffer.
Attorney General Cunningham gave
it out cold yesterday that the new cot-
ton laws would be stringently en-
forced. The attorney general and
County Attorney Strang held a confer-
ence yesterday and discussed the mat-
ter.Qlt waa determined that in the
matter of registration the law did not
apply strictly to purchasers of cotton,
but more especially to ginners, and
the later are the people who must be
cautious and watchful. One bale of
cotton is sometimes sold five times an^
passes through many hands. It would
therefore cause untold annoyance and
serve no just ends to have the same
bale registered every time it wss sold.
The main objects of the registration
law are, namely: To ascertain the
amount of cotton raised; to prevent
fraud in stone-weighting cotton and to
trace in case of theft.

Sheriff Frank Gebke, of Lincoln

to take into custody Bert and Adam

with criminally assaulting a sick wo
man near Chandler recently. The
men were chased to near this city by
enraged farmers and Sheriff Rhine-

Sheriff Gebke fears he will have some
difficulty in safely landing them in the

DISTRICT COURT.
Attorney Thurston Wins an Important
Case—Case of Fuller.
In district court last evening the
jury in the case of the Territory vs.
R. E. Taylor, indicted on the charge of
selling 82,500 worth of mortgaged cat-
tle, returned a verdict of not guilty.
This was one of the most hotly con-
tested cases tried in the district tribu-
nal for a long time, and attracted
much attention owing to the promi-
nence of the parties involved. Attor-
ney Harry Thurston represented Tay-
lor and Judge Strang, assisted by
Harris Huston conducted the prosecu-
tion. Mr. Thurston made a vigorous
defense and his good work is seen in
the verdict rendered. Thurston is one
of the most aggtessive and painstak-
ing lawyers at th* Guthrie bar and
generally wins what he goes after.
He has been retained to defend Farmer
Blessing, who recently shot D. E,
Dudley.
