the absence of cases of splenetic fever

The great herds of the territory offer
opportunities for the establishment of
tanneries and factories to use up the
leather products, packing houses and
kindred industries, while on every hand
are offered every inducement for the
starting of small manufacturing estab-
lishments to grow with the needs of the
territory.
I give below an enumeration of the
manufacturing industries in the leading
towns of the territory, with the number
of hands employed:

Cien. .Miles on the sehley Vft'iiir.
Cincinnati, O.: General Nelson A.
Miles, speaking of the findings of the
Schley court of inquiry, said: am
willing to take the judgment of Admiral
Dewey in the matter. He has been a
commander of a fleet, and as such ha-
known the anxieties and responsibilities
which rests on a man under these cir-
cumstances. He was instrumental in
the destruction of one Siianish fleet
and knows anil realizes the feelings that
encompass an officer under such condi-
tions. I think Dewey has summed up
the matter in a clear and concise man-
ner and I believe his conclusions will
be indorsed by the patriotic people of
the United States. I have no sympathy
with the efforts that have lieen made to
destroy the honor of an officer under
such circumstances."
A HOSPITAL BURNS.
SI. .Idfifiili llospllul ut Mary ville, llo..
Burned.—P llenl* Carrie,! Into Cold.
Maryvii.i.f,, Mo.: St. Joseph's Hos
pital was almost completely destroyed
by lire and the lives of '<!■"> patients wen
jeopardized, fatal results being feareil
in several cases owing to the shock and
the zero weather into which the sick
ones were carried for refuge from tin
flames. The thermometer registered
thirteen lielow zero at the time. An
overheated furnace was the origin. The
estimated loss was six thousand dollars,
fully covered by insurance. Privat'
residences were thrown open for the
temporary accommodation of the
patients.
The sisters had just completed a
handsome addition to the hospital and
had both the old and the new portions-
handsomely furnished.
A FORTUNATE COLLISION.
Two Limited l'a«*senyer Trains f'omr
Together, Killing Only Two Persona. j
San Francisco : A head end collsionl
occurred on the Southern Pacific at Up-
lands, a small station near here. The
trains were both passengers, and it is a
wonder that no more fatalities are re
ported than there are. A fireman and
express messenger were killed anil
passengers more or less injured, but
probably none fatally. Both engines
were totally demolished and a baggag"
and express car burned. The cause of
the accident is laid to Engineer Ooft'v,
who had orders to meet the train half a
mile back from where the accident
occnrr d. The trains were running
thirty miles an hour when they cann
together.
Mrs. McKinley, wife of the late presi-
dent, is reported as being in a very
feeble condition.
"Would Kill om<rrr .
Leavenworth: When convicts Tur-
ner, Barnes and Bob Clark, leaders in
the mutiny of November 7, were ar-
rested at Lawton, Clark handed a letter
to the sheriff' requesting him to mail it.
The letter was addressed to Clark's
brother at Keokuk, la. Suspecting a
plot the letter was given to Deputy
Warden Lemon.
Since his return Warden MeOlaughry
has had cipher experts working on the
letter, which was in cipher. The
"key" was found and Clark requested
his brother to get a confederate, board
the train at Guthrie, overpower the
officers and kill them if necessary to
enable liini to gain freedom.
.Steamer Broke in Two.
Charleston, W. Ya.: The steamei
Kanawha Bell, which runs between
Charleston and Montgomery, went over
lodk No. 3 at Pautrioke on her down
trip, broke in two and is a total wreck.
Eight of the crew, all deck hands and
roustabouts, were drowned. All the
officers of the boat were saved.
Member of < <iok'N (Jang.'
Guthrie: Indian Territory officials,
through the aid of Sheriff Dobbins, ot
Casher, have identified Sam Rojier, whe
egcaped recently from Arkansas after
murdering a sheriff', as a member of tin-
Bill Cook gang of outlaws that terror-
ized the borders in the early nineties.
This is the first heard of Roper in ten
years. He is wanted in various places
