A sen sation wns developed to-day In the depart ment of ngilciilturo by Information re ceived from Uklahoma, It Is charged that ccitain county i lei Its lu the Snip counties have been making money out of the seeds sent them fur distribution by the depait mcut. Some wee-its ago the sccietnry of agrlcul tmu decided to favor Oklahoma with un additional 'i(',tl packages of seeds, owing to the situation In some of tho counties. It was also suggested that thu seeds be sent to thu count) clerks fur distribution, which was clone. Thus each county clerk re ceived over 7,(W P ick.ige-s, to be distributed to those calling for them. Hut, nccorillug to information Hint has 1 cached the sceretaiy to-d,i. It seems that eel lain clerks decided to charge GO cents for each apportionment of seeds. L.icli package contained tell different kinds and one package- is allowed to each appli cant. Hut a packages, such as furnished by thu government, can be purchased for W cents, anil thus It appears that the clerks engaged In selling government seeds nre cluiiglug even mine- than tho pi lee in the open markets. Hut ns the Information about government seeds is not generally known the business uf making cxuihlt.mt cli.il Res hns b. en .successfully carried on In cettalu Strip counties. It Is needless to obsciio that thu seeds thus set apirt for the people of the Strip were not Intended to be sold by the county clerks. The seeds weiu furnished I15 Hie government to be distributed fiee lo the settlers, anil the cleiks knew It. It was .supposed the) would gladly do tills work without making charges as an accommoda tion to the people of tho various counties. Soon after the news 1 cached the 1lep.1t t meiit to-day it was decided to call the matter to the attention ot the ileparmeiit uf justice and If possible punish the- cleiks thus engaged. It was suggested at the- de partment that this was obtaining monc under false pretenses and the- amount thus secured at the rate indicated b the inlorm itlon would .ig'icgule f&i for each cle-ik selling the seeds. An eifoi t will be made- to h.ivu the- depiitmciit of Justice take Hie- matter lu hand and meet the at tending cleiks with punishment th it will nut only thtuvv them uut ot olllcc, but will lollow them with continued punishment for taking money for heeds thus furnished b the 1lpp.11 intent.

Yesterday, if you were in the Dressmaking Parlors 5 th floor you saw something of what the decorators and car penters were doing. You'll see more to-night, but you won't sec nearly all.
