Most of the money borrowed by the Episcopal church cuuio from this company. The electric plant was never moro pros perous. It has declared a dividend for the last three months. Its prosperity is due to the efficient superintendent, Joseph Saunders. At a meeting of a majority of the credit ors of the defunct Commercial bank, held today, Harry P. Clark was chosen assignee. He was. however, restrained by order of .Judge Green, of the district court, from cntei ing upon the discharge of his duties until such time as the pleading lor tno ap pointment of a receiver can bo heard and acted upon. COUNCIL. MORNING SESSION. The bill prepared by Mr. Brown, of Lo can, in relation to municipal bonds and taxes was taken up. The sections authorizing the city coun cils to pay the bonds issued by the de facto city governments when the cities have re ceived the benefit of them, was contested by Mr. Brown, of Oklahoma, and others, aud the provision was deleated. An amendment was tacked on, on mo tion of Brown, of Oklahoma, allowing the voters to determine whether such debts should be discharged. Another battle was waged over the ques tion of issuing boudsfor public improve ments. The mcasure.found a very earnest cham pion in air. Jirown, ot logun. It was not yet decided at the time of ad journment and further consideration was defetrcd until 2 o'clock Monday. The house amendment to the university bill, providing for the bonding of Cleve land county to raise the money to itartthe iniversity, was considered Mr. Foster objected because it was spec ial legislation, and would not be legal. Mr. Brown, of Oklahoma I agree with every word that my venerable friend (Mr. Foster) has ssid; but the governor has commanded us to sell thoso institutions, and we must bow to that, although it is wrong. Mr. Brown, of Logan I never heard be fore that the governor favored bonding the counties fcr this purpose, and I don't be lieve he ever did. There are other means of raising money, and how tho councilor from Oklahoma, who has been the avowed enemy of every species of bonds, can vote to concur in this amendment I am not b!o to see. The amendment was concurred in. Adjourned. - HOUSE. MOUSING SESSION. The routino of loll call, prayer and read ing of the journal was lollowed, eighteen being present. House resolution No. 25, tho memorial to congress asking for a franchise for building a briduo across tho Canadian at Lexington, was favorably reported. Mr. Adair spoke in its" favor. Ho said: "It is very dangerous for one to cross the South Canadian except about three months of the year. I don't see why this memorial should not pass." Mr. Terri 11 There is not much time to waste over t his. It would be folly for any jhhu to build a bridge, unless ho were ghen the right to control the jiver for a reasonable distance. There is no law compelling any one to pay toll. They cau lord the river Mr. Trosper I know this stream is a dangerous one. I would like to give some man tho franchise to build a bridge at Oklahoma City. I have seen tho time I would give $2.00 for a bridge at that point. Mr. Matthews In what condition is "his resolution?

Senator Incalls was asked the other day if he intended to take any special noto of the letter of Mr. Cleveland addressed to Mr. Acers in Kan sas City. Mr. Ingalls replied that he had been thinking seriously of writing a pri vate letter of thanks to Mr. Cleveland. The letter had dono him so much good that ho felt really grateful toward Mr. Cleveland. Those who misrepresented him iu saying that he was angry and would make a pulq ue reply were certainly strangers to poli tics and the senator's methods. Ho made it a point never to attempt to injuro any one who had done him a kiudness. Mr. Cleveland's letter came at a time when the people of Knnsas were makiug it warm for the senator, and the letter was one of those happy diversions which turned tho tide in the senator's favor, it showed so clearly how anxious the Democrats are to dispose of him. TEXAS FEVER. Washington. Dec. 13. In the report of Dr. Salmon, chief of tho bureau of ani mal industry, submitted to congress, par ticular attention is directed to in vest i ca tions by the bureau in regard to hog chol era ana tho origin of Texas fever among cattle and means by which this disease is communicated from the southern to the northern cattle. The report details the ex periments made, which include the trans fer of "ticks" from diseased to healthy cattle, hatching the ticks and placing them upon non-infected animals, in both cases communicating the fever. Northern cattle have been herded with Texas cattlo from winch tho ticks have been carefully removed without being attacked by the dis ease. The disease has also been commun icated through tho ticks hatched in the ground which had been frequented by in fected animals. The hatching period is from thirty to sixty days. Dr. Salmon, in his report, states that cattle taken to the south for breeding pur poses can be protected from the fevur by keeping t hem free from tho tick. Again, that southern cattle may be rendered in nocuous bv was bin k them with soma prep aration that will destroy the ticks or by keeping them on infected ground until ticks which are on them may mature and drop to the ground, but not long enough for the young ticks to hatch and reinfect them. "While it has thus been shown un mistakably that the disease is communi cated through the ticks, it has not been shown witbTabsolute certainty that there is no means by which the disease gains ac cess to the blood of susceptible cattle, but it is quite evident from the mvesiication just made that in the great majority of cases cattle are infected by means of ticks. PLUMB'S LEADERSHIP. Washington, Dec. 13. There is a new leader upon the Republican side in the senate. He is Senator Plumb. Although the senator htj been in that eminent body for upwards of thirteen years he belonsr to the younger section of the Republican senators, and has lwen expected to defer in a respectful manner to the wisdom of his seniors. Mr Plumb bates lite claim for leadership upon what he calls practical business sense He is at tho head of Ue movement in the senate to have some so- called financial relief passed through congress early this winter. Mr. Plumb is energetic. He is anything but a parti san. To accomplish his political ends ho would be as contented working in the company of Democrats as of Republicans. The Democrats are willing to sup port any financial measure that Senator Plumb proposes, knowing that no more effective means can be employed by them to defeat the elec tion bill. Unfortunately the financial sit uation for the moment favors their plans. Every time there is a small failure in the country, and under ordinary circumstances failures happen every day, the reports of such failure are telegraphed to Washing ton in the same exaggerated way they are sent to New York to nffect the situation there. Members aro becoming wonder fully impressed with tho requirements-of tho financial situation. Thoso who have a tendency to speculate in stocks are much more sensitive to these requirements than others. Butthereisno use denying tho fact that the movement in congress in the direction of expanding tho currency is most formidable, and engineered by a man of Plumb's aggressive ability has more than a chance of succeeding. lie says the election bill is well enough in it-s way. It is to correct wrongs that Republicans all admit exist. But Sunator Plumb goes on to say that this is not tho time for such legislation, when the great financial interests of the country are wait ing for relief. This is the argument which affects nearly all in congress who have property interests or who are subject to the telegraphic pressure of constituents who are demoralized by the alarmist ten dencies of the bear operations of the coun try. THE SUBSIDY BILL. Washington, Dec. 13. A quorum of the house committee on merchant marine aud fisheries today formally agreed to report the compromise bill prepared bv the ma jority members of the committee as a sub stitute for the senate tonnage and subsidy bills.

Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 13. An eveninc paper says: "It was given out today that the Missouri Pacific is about to put on an eight-cent rate on live hogs from the Mis souri river to St. Louis. The rate was threatened during the meeting in Chicago, when it was attempted to equalize the hog and packing-house rates on a higher basis. The road then took the stand that witlran eighteen cent rate on hogs, the St. Louis differentials should be eight cents. It is now proposed by that road to prove this claim." Herman & Hess E LIST!
