today.
A requisition was granted today for
W. L. L.ittle, now in jail at Shawnee.
He is wanted in Johnson county,
Texas, for swindling a bank out of
S118.
Dr. Wilbur S. Hamilton, of Norman,
was today appointed vice-president of
the territorial board of health, vice
Dr. .las. L. Ryan, of Oklahoma City.
The following teachers have been
employed for the coming school year
at Perkins: Prof. J. P. Hickman, Okla-
homa City, principal; Miss Anna H
Carr, of Kansas, room 1; Miss Havilla
Duck, Stillwater, room 2; Miss Amelia
Shoenhair, Guthrie, room 3.
Thomas Morris, of Guthrie township,
brought to this office today some of
the finest peaches we ever saw live
peaches of the Elberta variety had
grown on one branch about eight
inches long—not a one of which could
be put in an ordinary cup.
County Commissioner O. P. Cooper
returned from Chicago a few days ago
where he has been for the past two
months having his hand and arm
treated. An operation was found un-
necessary. His arm and hand are very
stiff but will be completely cured in a
few weeks.
Richard Messall, prominent mer-
chant of Enid, was in the city yester-
day and today to see Governor Barnes
on some political matters and to se-
cure the First Regiment band to play
at the fall harvest festival fair on
September 15th, Kith and 17th. The
chances are that the band can go, in
which events the Enidites will nave
music such as they do not hear every
day.

Rkddixo, Cal., Aug. 17.—The rush to
Trinity is on in earnest and the re-
ports received here from reliable men
in the field justify the eagerness of the
gold hunters to reach the scene of the
recent strikes. The brothers K. 11. and
J. K. Graves,who madethegreatdiscov-
ery of a nugget or solid piece of gold
worth over 143,000 in the Blue Jay
mine, arrived here yesterday. 1 hey
brought about 830,000 worth of gold
along with them and the remainder
was cached near the mine. It wi,l
follow shortly. The gold brought here
was immediately taken to the I niteil
States mint for coinage. 1 he great
slab of gold which they found is even
bigger than the famous Australian
nugget Welcome, found at llallar.it,
weighing '2,lt' 0 ounces and valued at
841,883. The Australian nugget has
for years been exhibited as the biggest
ever discovered.
A Punitive IteturnH to lite.
Hartford, Conn., Aug. 17.— James S.
Parsons, the fugitive president <>f the
Continental Life Insurance Co., has re-
turned after ten years, a penniless
man, to pay his debt to nature. It is
said that he has an Incurable disease
and can live but a short time. He had
been living in Canada since the wreck-
ing of the company. He was hunted i
out of the United States by the officers
of the law, and returned in the hope |
that he may breathe his last in his j
own home. Parsons' defalcations i
amounted to between 8100,000 and
$150,000, though what he did with the
money is a mystery.
Fittal Kxplo.ion of Fire Damp.
Peoria, 111., Aug. 17.-An explosion |
of tire damp this morning in a coal j
mine, the property of Mrs. Hand, IK j
miles from Farmington, resulted m
the killing of one miner, Thomas Mar-
tin, and the serious injury of two
others.
••Oh! Is It all of life." she cried.
"This daily grind for dally bread?
This craving after things denied.
This i eln of griefs uncotnforted?
Must one who dreams of soaring wins*
Forever dwell with creeping things?"
Her feet, tn their Impatient tread.
Drown withered leaves tossed to and fro,
iTlll In the path a worm, half dead.
She saw—or she believed it so.
"A fellow-creature!" scornfully
She murmured. "Die In peace, for me."
And gently pushing It aside.
She laid It on a mossy bed:
Where if it lived, or If It died.
She cared not. Hut when time had sped,
And woodland paths were sweet with May,
She trod once more that sheltered way.
Lo! where a scarlet blossom grew
To catch the sun. a lovely thing.
Whose wings were streaked with gold and
blue.
In delicate poise was hovering.
And—with a Hash of memory—
"Well met, my fellow-worm!" cried she.
"God found you lost, and like to die-
He bade me set you s Hfe apart;
And now, O beautiful butterlly!
You preach a lesson to my heart.
•Trust Him who knows It best,' you say.
To meet your need In His own way "

Havana, Aug. 17.-The Spanish
prosecution has demanded that Kvan-
gelina Cisneros, niece of the Cuban

delicate aud refined. In these vile sur-
roundings she will be racked, mind
and body, until death shall charitably
take her awav.

MESSENGKU GEO ROE I-|
always has a good
liupply of war stories on tap. In
Mr. \Varritier's regiment, which was
recruited at Worcester ami went
to the front from there, was a pri-
vate who might have been named Put-
rick Fliherty, but wasn't, aud win
might have been French, but was Irish.
And he was au Irishman not only in
name and hair, but iu that national
characteristic of witty retort and pe-
culiar denseness in some directions.
While the comyany was in the bar
racks ot Worcester it was the fashion
for the men to run the guard and get
out of the lines through a hole in the
high board fence, made by removing
1he nnil at the bottom of a wide boaril
and swinging it to one side. After the
men had got through they would let the
board swing back, and there was no
sign of exit. The officers llnnlly discov I
ered this method of procedure, and
determined to put a stop to it. They se-
lected as sentry at the crucial point
Flaherty. He had impressed them as
n man who would do his duty at what-
| ever cost, oven though it meant stick-
| ing a bayonet Into some one's vitals or
boring a hole through him with an
I ounce of lead. They also elaborated a
I system of countersigns which they pro-
osed to have strictly enforced.
It chanced that one night several of
the men prepared to run the guard.
The password that night was "Tieon-
deroga." I t waS guarded very care-
full"', but by some means the men got
hold of it and planned to make use of
, . .. , it by getting outside the lines. So a
test the ; ... f fni<]< five started toward the
line where Flaherty was on
l'<
eers, all of whom he was holding at bay
at the point of his musket, The hut>-
t-.ub soon reachcd the ears of the iien-
ttenant, and he came down In a tearing
iburry to see what the trouble waa all
about. Pat brought htm up short wlttt
Ms bayonet, and demanded the coun-
tersign, although he knew well enough
ivho the officer was.
•"llconderoga," said the lieutenant.
"How ly smoke," sighed fat, "and tie
ain't got it right cither," and he pon-
dered as to whom he should call crat
next.
"Ain't got it right?" said the lieu-
tenant, angrily! "why, you fool, 1 ga.e
tt to you myself."
"Sure, thin yez forgotten it," said
Tat. " 'Ticonderoga' wasn't the wor-
rud yez gave."
"What was it, then?" said the lieu-
tenant, beginning to see the fun.
"Hedad, it was 'Wrong kind ot
roguery,'" said Pat, and a shout of
laughter went up from the group he
had standing around him. Flaherty,
having recently come over and not be-
ing well up in American history, had
not heard of Ticonderoga, and had mis-
taken the word, although they had
drilled him carefully, trying to get him
to pronounce it. Not long afterward
the regiment moved to the south, and
with it went Flaherty, now rechria-
tcned "wrong kind of roguery." It
stuck to him all through the war, and
he got so used to it that he responded
to It as his name. The tlrst time the
men were paid off Pat watched them
draw their pay, and finally it came hi«
turn.
"Patrick Flaherty," called out the
major.
Pat stepped forward.
"Is your name Patrick Flaherty?"
asked the major.
"Faith, au' it's not, sir," responded
Pat.
"How's this? What is your name,
then?"
"Sure it's 'Wrong kind of roguery,"
sir," said Pat, complacently, thinking
he hnd sprung a good joke.
The major flew into a rage and or-
dered Pat off to the guardhouse, intend-
ing to have him court-martialed. He
considered himself greviously insulted,
and it was not until the captain of Pat's
company explained the joke that
Flaherty got off.
When the regiment was lying nenr
Alexandria Flaherty achieved the honor
of being the best shot in the company
through a curious circumstance. The
men shot at a mark for practice, and
the man who made the best shot each
day was given a 12 hours' leave to go to
Alexandria. The mark that Flaherty's
company was shooting at was on a
bank, and the men shot over a picket
fence and across a garden patch.
Flahertyhad never shot a gun in his life,
but when it came his turn he brought
his gun to his shoulder anil let drive.
The result was astonishing. Put turned

Chester, IJa., Aug. 17.—George c.
Ileltzel & Co.,manufacturers of worsted
goods, have notified their employes
that the wages paid in 1s9j would be
restored September fi. The notice was
a surprise, as the restoration was
granted without solicitation. Since
1s'j2 two reduetions aggregating20 per
cent, were made and until three weeks
ago the mill had been running on half
time.
Flaherty with the password, while the
rest stayed behind to watch the out-
< oine. if the advance guard got
through, all the rest had pretty good
assurance of going through also. The
sol-lier approached Flaherty in the dark
and the latter brought his musket to
charge bayonets, and shouted:
"Who be yez'?"-
"A friend." * *"7
"Shure, and yez can't get out o' this
will out de countersign."
The soldier approached the picket and
whispered in his ear the word.
"Ticonderoga."
"Phwat did yez say?" , - _
"Ticonderofffl," repeated the guard
runner, in a louder whisper.
/'That ain't the worrud," said Pat,
niid as the soldier made a motion to
withdraw, lie added, approaching the.
point of the bayonet a little closer to
his body: "Don't yez move wan step,
or by the howly mither I'll stick this
inter yez."
The soldier luiew Pat well enough
to know that he would do it in a second
if he made a motion, and so he stood
there passively while Pat yelled:
"Carp'ral of the guard!" In a moment
or two the corporal came running up
to see what was the matter, but he was
halted by Pat, who said: "Uive the
countersign."

In vain the corporal protested that

\nte standing thepfc with his bayonet
\ 'Orating between them w lrile he shout-

word w is passed along and finally the
sergeant arrived on the scene. Mean-
while the guard runner's companions
began to edge away to await develop-
| ments, remaining, how ever, within ear-
phot.
"What's nil this trouble?" demanded
the sergeant, looking over the group.
"Give the countersign," said Pat-
rick.
"Ticonderoga," replied the sergeant.
"Faith and yez haven't got it right,
oyther," said 1'at, pointing his bayo-
net at the sergeant.
"Yes, it is, you fool," answered the
sergeant, "that's what all the pickets
have."
"It don't make wan bit of difference,"
said Pat. "If yez don't give that coun-
tersign aud yez move wan step, I'll
put a hole through yez.
Pat was getting angry by this time
iind the protestations and threats of the
sergeant and corporal did not mo"e
him a whit. Flaherty called this time
for the lieutenant of the guard. He was

what was the matter with the gun. but
he showed how he loaded it. and that
explained lucidly enough what had been
the matter. The bullets were pointed
affairs with a concave base. When the
gun went off the explosion expanded
the base and fitting closely into the
rifling of the barrel, it cleaned the gun.
Pat h;:d put his bullets into the gun
point first and had rammed it down
hard. Of course when the gun went off
there was a te rifle kick.
"Why did you put the bullet in that
way?" was asked Pat.
"Sure, thin, because it wint in much
easier," he replied.
But the bullet! After it left the gun
it struck a picket 011 the fence, splinter-
ing it. Then it bit the earth in the mid-
dle of the garden patch, and richochet-
ting struck the target exactly in the
middle, and the great splotch of lead
tore the bull's-eye clean out of the target,
the best shot that had been made. Pat
got the 12 hours' leave, but his shoulder
did not permit him to enjoy it much.
Poor Flaherty's taking away was
quite in keeping with his army career.
He served through the war and came out
alive with quite a little money saved up.

and married a girl who drove him to
rum as a solace for his woes. One night
he was coming home pretty well filled
up and he lurched and fell, lying pros-
trate on the ground. As he fell he had
thrown his arm out in front of liini and
his face rested on his arm. His open
month waa filled with his coat sleeve,
and Flaherty, who before he reached
the ground was iu a drunken stupor,
did not know enough to move it away
so he could get air, and he smothered
himself with his own arm.—Springfield
