LEAVENWORTH IN TROUBLE.
TorEKA, Kan., April 2d A petition for
a writ of mandamus was filed today in
the supremo comt by Attorney General
Kellogg to compel Carrie Shepherd, city
clerk of Leavenworth, to deliver to Wil
liam W. Roberta. commissioner of elec
tions for Leavenworth, the entries of reg
istration since the first Alonday in Janu
ary, and the records, books and papers
pertaining to registration. The trouble
grows out of the fact that there are two
tactions one for and one against a com
missioner of elections. The one opposed
claims there have not been 6,000 votes cast
in Leavenworth, and consequently the city
did not come in the law. But over 6,000
were cast at the April election and Gov
ernor Humphrey reappointed Roberts. The
clerk is obstinate and opposes the commis
sioners. An alternative writ was issued
returnable May 25.
I. O. O. F. CELEBRATION.

house.
SUICIDE.
HCTCHISOX, Kan., April 2& Mrs. Uriah
Gresham, the wife of a prominent and
well-to-do farmer of this county, com
mitted suicide at 7:30 o'clock this evening

The weapon was a Colt's nary revolver.

THE SITUATION AT GUTHRIE PRAC
TICALLY UNCHANGED.
Incoming and Outgoing Trains
Crowded with the Satisfied
and Dissatisfied.
Substantial Liprovements Made as Rap
idly as Circumstances Permit Sup
plies Still Moving Slowly.
Daily Meetings Held to Discuss the Town
Site Question No Action Yet Taken
Regarding Illegal Claimants
All Quiet At Oklahoma
City General Terri
torial Hews.
Special dispatch to the dally Ewia.
Guthrie, Ok., April 2a At Guthrie the
situation remains practically unchansred.
The expected and long-promised blood
shed has as yet failed to materialize.
There is the same crying need for water
and food and the peoDle of Guthrie and
North Oklahoma are suffering. The south
bound train this evening took compara
tively few people down to the dty of tents,
yet the north bound was crowded to its
utmost.
In.spiteof the fact that so many people
are leaving there are yet many to be found
in this country, and there are even some
who say they expect to remain and make
it their home.
JIANT IMPROVEMENTS MADE,
The work of improvements goes on;
tents are being erected and as fast as lum
ber can be gotten in frame buildings are
going up.
The supplies of different kinds are not
being put into the country with that dis
patch which people imagine should be em
ployed by the railroad. Still they are do
ing as well as possible, and every day are
landing at the depot stacks of goods, car
loads of lumber and frames of uncomplet
ed buildings.
Todav one train load was given up al
most entirely to the carrying of frames of
new houses in Oklahoma. Even the doors
and boards of the sides of the houses were
painted and ready to be put np.
The Commercial bank has its vault in
and yesterday commenced its first day of
business and quite a successful one it was.
The opposition bank. The Bank of Guthrie,
is not quite ready yet but will be soon.
THE "EAGLE" IN GREAT DEMAND.
The Eagle is waited for here with the
greatest interest and copies will sell for
from 10 to 50 cents, so anxious are the
people to obtain the paper. Yesterday
a package ot 500 of the paper
was taken from the car and before
they could be delivered to the agent they
were all sold, some persons paying for
them as much as 50 cents y. :copy. They
depend upon the paper for all reliable Ok
lahoma news. i
"What can we get to drink?" isthe ail
absorbinjr question. The water from the
river is miserable and Hie supply from the
railroad t ink has been shut off. There is
food to be had. sandwiches, cold meats and
bread, hot coffee, etc., at the lunch counter
and a right good meal at the hotel. Yet
what are the hundreds of people going to
do whohae not enough money to buy
these things, yet have nothing to eat?
Here is the great danger that confronts
the s ttler it is not so much the lack of
supplies as of money with which to pur
chase them. There is want, indeed, in
Oklahoma and the cry will go up still
more pressing before many days have
passed.
LEAVING THE COITNTRT.
The people are leaving the country in
great numbers by every train, and are
crossing the strip with their wagons. They
are coming back to the north and to the
confines of civilization once more.
An old man was seen by the Eagle cor
respondent today at Winfield: he was that
far on his way home after a residence of but
three davs in the beautiful land. "That red
stuff down there," he said, "is not soil, it
issimplvred dirt, with a sub soil, if you
want to call it Mich, so hard that you can
not cut it with a drilL 1 am from Kansas
and believe that the state is plenty good
enough for me. Here any man can. if he
wants to. make a living by farming, and
he can't do that in Oklahoma, I am sure,
or at least not in the part that I was in.'
At the Santa Fe depot in Arkansas City
was seen an old man tugging along with
him a heavy truck, a blanket and a bun
dle. He was but half way up the hill and
had stopped to rest. "How fer is it to the
Frisco deDOt?" he inquired. "I have
traveled all the way from that derned
country of Oklahoma, and am so glad toget
out of it that I scarcely know
what to do. I haven't had anything
to eat for a week and ielt very weak and
hungry."
Another returning passenger was a man
from "Wisconsin. He said that he bad
bought a tent, some blankets and other
articles, and after reaching Guthrie se
cured two town lota. He eold the whole
outfit, tnt, lots and everything for H,
one-half the cost of the tent alone. He
said that he had lud enough
of Oklahoma for the present, but still he
was glad that he had made the tripr for he
could never otherwise have been satisfied.
There will be plenty of tent and outfits,
some for bale very cheap at this point, un
less something happens to change the cur
rent of events.
THE REAL ESTATE MARKET.
Many ot those who took town lots have
had enough of speculation, and are will
ing either to sell cr cive away their land.
Yet there is some value in the land
and there may be more than people
are at present inclined to think. One lot
sold vesterday for ?l,fiO0, Mr Green, of
Uaistend, being the purchaser This
seems truly a veri high Drice to pay for
a lot. but more so simply for a relinquish
ment. THE QUESTIONS WHICH AGITATE.
The town government and town lot
questions are still agitating the people.
Thoe deputies are the great stumbling
blocks, and the people can't get over the
part they played in the race for land on
the 20od. or that they carried away the bes'"
claims and the bst town lots in and around
this town of Guthrie. There are all sorts
of talk, speculative and otherwise, regard
ing the s.tuation. Dire Tengence nas been
threatened these people, bnt asvetcotmnc
has been done and everything goes quietly
on. There has berti no blood shed, and it i
hoped thai the matter can be settled
without such extreme measures.
A meeting is daily called by the citizens
and the people interested to take action in
the matter But no one stems to want to
to leave their town lots long enough to
attend a meeting there are too many
claim jumpers everywhere.
The women seem to take the moat active
part in the politics of this place. There
are not very many of them here, but they
are all sxe.it on covernment and politics,
and want everything done up ia good
shape. They do not e
how a city of the size of Guthrie can be
nermittwl to run along la such a reckless
hap-hazzard sort of manner without of
ficers, city government or even streets.
WHAT DISTINGUISHES MR. HOWARD.
William Williard Howard, of Harper's
"Weekly, took quite a number of views of
this city and expects to use them at some
future time in that paper in con
nection with an article that
he will write. Mr. Howard can
enjoy the great distinction of being the
first and only man so far, who has worn
into and out of Oklahoma sately a plug
hat. The people there may not
shoot holes in the tile but
they have a more thorough and
complete manner of annihilation they
just simply cut the top out. Mr. Howard
got a glimpse of a hat which had been
used in this manner and trembled for the
safety of his hat until the line was
crossed.
OKLAHOMA CITY QUIET.
The report Teceived here from Oklahoma
City tonight is to the effect thatverything
there is quiet and secure. That expected
explosion of the wrath of the civilian upon
the heads of tho deputies and other early
birds has not yet taken place and it may
yet be stayed for some time.
NOT EMBARRASSED.
TOPEKA, Kan., April L'G. Santa Fe offi
cials here deny the reports that they are
embarrasaed about handling Oklahoma
business, as has been stated in certain dis
patches. They say they are moving freight
and passengers as freely as h demanded.
SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN SUP
PLIES. Chicago, April 2C Officials of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
claim that information just received from
reliable sources on the ground is to the
effect that little or no foundation in fact
for recent rumors that settlers in Okla
homa are suffering for supplies. Special
attention is being given to this matter by
the company and commissaries, wagon
supplies and other necessaries of life are
being moved forward as rapidly as possi
ble. All trains are running on time and
the above class is receiving special atten
tion. OFFICIAL REPORTS FROM OKLAHOMA
Washington, April 2C Secretary Xoble
today received a telegram from a special
agent of the department at Guthrie to the
effect that at Guthrie. King Fisher and
Oklahoma City everything is quiet and
orderly, and that reports of violence or
law breaking of any kind are absolutely
without foundation.
IN COFFINS AND IN IE0NS.
Two Methods by Which Unfortunate
Oklahomans are Leaving.
Oklahoma Citt, Ok., April 26. Five
men in their coffins aud a maniac in irons
were carried north from this infant city
yesterday. The dead men had died nat
ural deaths, that is to say nature had
given way under the hardships encoun
tered and none of the fire deaths were due
directly at tho hands of fellow men.
The madman, John Evans, left his
family in El Dorado, Kan., a few days ago
and was apparently in the best of health.
He came to Oklahoma City on ""the first
train Monday and found the city in pos
session of United States deputy marshals
and bushmen and was unabls to realize
his expectations. A claim which he final
ly secuied was jumped by professionals
and a revolver flourished in his face when
he remonstrated. Evans had little money
and his subsequent trials robbed him of
his reason. As he lay on the plat
form today waiting for the train
he talked "incompetently of claims and
town lots and implored those near
him not to rob him ot his little piece of
ground. The Sight was a pitiful one.
Evans was taken to Winfield aud placed
in a hospital for the insane.
Another man 7cnt crazy the previous
night and whs placed on the northbound
train. At Alfred he broke away and tried
to assault Lieutenant Martin of the in
fantry company stationed there, but was
overpowered.
"I want a claim. I want a claim." was
his incess int cry. He was put aboard the
the tram again and will probably be
treated in tho Winfield hospital.
A man named btevens wa& shot and
killed in the presence of his wife and four
little children by two men on a claim nar
Altred Wednesday. The murderers fled
and the unfortunate widow walked to Al
fred with the news. The dead man was
buried by the settlers and a small sub
scription was raised to send the family
home.
The rude funeral was in progress as the
train passed.

A CRUEL CUSTOM IN CHINA.
San Francisco, Cal, April 2ft. chines
papers which arrived today by steamer
give the particulars of an atrocious custom
of the sacrifice of widows in a district of
the Foo Chow prefecture. - If a woman's
husband dies his relations insist upon her
committing suicide by hanging so as to
follow him into another world. Three
days before the appointed date for this en
forced suicide a feast is giTen, at which
all the man's relations use every argument
to make her comply with tho custom.
Should she consent, as she is Invariably
compelled to do, she is placed in a sedan
chair and carried in procession to the
sound of musical instruments through tho
principal streets to a platform previously
prepared, about thirty feet in heigh, n?
which she is carried and placed in a chair.
The relatives and friends below salute tho
victim, and it is customary for officials to
proceed thither to make a salutation.
When this ceremonv is over a rope is sus
pended from a beam, the widow places It
round her own neck and one of her
brothers pulls the end with all his strength
and strangles her. This done, she is
buried, and an application mado to the
emperor for some mark of honor to com
memorate her sacrifice, which is falsely
reported as a voluntary one. Hence thero
is scarcely a family in Lien Kiang
which can not boast of a virtu
ous widow, and the whole country is stud
ded with monument erected in their
honor. About ten years- ngo,a new prefect
gave orders to abolish this custom, but
the order was obeyed only in the immedi
ate neighborhood of the city, and recent
instjtnces of the sacrifice hnve called at
tention to its barbarity. In one prefecture
of Kwatis Lung tho law is that if auy oue
is caughtln theft he must pay for every
thing which has been stolen for an entire
year, and those who hao lost goods can
force the thief to sell not only his laud,
but also his sons and daughters to payltho v
debt. A gambler recently btslng out of
food, stole a neighbor's fowl. Ho was
caught in the act and condemned to pay
the penalty. He was forced to take his
eldest daughter U Canton and sell her.
The experience reformed him but lusnife
died af grief.
A TOWN PARTIALLY BURNED.
St. ALBAN5, Vt., April 26. Stanbridge,
P. Q.. just acros tho Canadian line, was
visited by a disastrous 'fir about "1j0
this morning, resulting in the destruc
tion of the Canadian Pacific railway depot
freight house, engine house,'' one -eugi-re,'
two passenger cars and eight freight cars,
most of which were loaded. Senear's
large general store, two hotels .aniTsApprpl
houses were also destroyed. 'Th.li fire orig-
inatcd in the railroad Woc(Lhed, nnd as
the villiage Is Without a fire department,
the buildings were at the mercy of the
names. The loss is not known definitely,
but probably aboat $23,000. Senegors
store was a new one, and insured for
$3,000. Tho insurance on both hotels is
7.000. An engine and hose carriage went
from St. Albans to prevent the fire from
spreading.
DANGER IN THE NEW STATES.
Washington, April 20. The Republi
cans will do well not to assume too much
as to the elections in the new states this
fall. Tho visit of Congressman Cox, of
New York, to the Dakotas and Montana
shows that the Democrats are not without
hope of carrying one or more of these ter
ritories when they come into the union.
There has beon a general belief that all
the newly enfranchised states would be
Republican, but If this is simply accepted
as a fact and no effort mado to make it a
reality, tho party may find itself mistaken.
South Dakota is undoubtedly safely Re
publican, but North Dakota is much mom
evenly balanced. Montana has jrone Dem
ocratic until last fall, nnd Washington
has chosen a Democratic delegate ou sev
eral occasions.
