At 12:03 o'clock Monday Mra Owens filled out correctly the
words on our sign. Others were very near hut none other of over
two hundred guesses were just right
It now reads: "The Only Great. Bona Fide Sale for Cash and
Nothing Exchanged." Bona fide means good faith. So this is the
only great good raith sale. This sign is also printed In blue. Why,
think you, was it printed in "blue?
"We put on sale today three styles of our wonderful "W. C. C.
corsets at $1.00 each. One style is a fast black. "We have always
sold this corset for $1.00 and we can't sell it any less. The shape
is superior to the P. D.
In browsing over the advertisements in Sunday's papers one was

SEVEN LIVES LOST.
A Tow-boat Sunk at Memphis Terrible
Panic Among the Grow.
MEMPHIS," Tenn., Feb. 10. The tow-boat
Port Eads, Capt Nelson Davis, of the St.
Louis and Mississippi Valley transporta
tion company, was sunk this morning at
7 o'clock at the site qI the new railroad
bridge two miles below the city. She car
ried a crew of about forty men and for a
time the wildest rumors prevailed, the
loss of life being placed at from 25 to 33.
It is now known that only seven of the
crew were lost. They are: William
Hickey. watchman; Teenie Jones, colored
chambermaid; John McDermott, second
cook; Firemeu William Stewart, James
Walker, and an unknown; all colored. The
only body recovered is that of McDer
mott. The Port Eads had a tow of six pram
laden barges and one full barge destined
for New Orleans from Cairo. They passed
the city shortly before 7 this morning dur
ing a heavy tog, hugging the Tennessee,
shore closely. The fcteainer approached
the bridge as slowly as possible but owing
to the dense fog, she was unable to locate
the sunken pier. A moment later
she was seen to stop suddenly, hang sta
tionary for a moment and then swing
around with heavy force and settle on one
side. Men ran from every direction to the
yawl, fighting each other m panic stricken
desperation to reach it. One man de
tached the ropes holding it and was about
to climb in when the w.iter rushed in over
the boat's deck and all ran to the other
side. Another wavo closed over the deck
and she settled lower.
Ten of the crew were taken to the United
States hospital near by, suffering from
cuts and bruises and the remainder were
caret! for at the houses along the shore.
The Port Eads was valued atSSO.OOO. The
barges and contents are uninjured.
Pilot Gus Hmer who was on watch
when the accident happened makes the fol
lowing.statement: "Captain Davis, Pilot
Townsend and myself were in the pilot
hou3. I was at the wheel and owing to
the dense black smoke I could not see
more than twenty feet in fron of the
boat. When I discovered the
pier I signalled the engineer to stop the
machinery, but it was too late, as at the
next moment the fuel barge nit the pier
and went down. I was powerless to save
the boat and lef tiher to the mercy of the
water. When I realized what had hap
pened I ran down into tho cabin and
brought Mrs. Townsend out on the hurri
cane roof and was in the act of puttinu
her on one of the barges when the vessel
careened and sunk. She was thrown into
the river and after drifting down the river
some distance I was picked up by the tug
Welcome."
It is probable that a suit for damages
will be brought against the bridge com
pany for not having the pier protected.
THROUGH THE IOE.
Six Persons Drowned at a Lske Hear
Kingston, If. Y.
Kingston, N. Y., Feb. 10 The four
children of Jacob Slater were skating on
the lake at Pinnewater, about six miles
from here, yesterday afternoon when the
ice, which was but a few inches in thick
ness, gave way and the little ones -were
precipitated into the water.
Their shouts were heard by the members
of the family, who lived near by, and the
father and mother ran to the rescue. By
the time they reached the lake the four
children had disappeared beneath the ice.
The mothor, frantic with the thought of
her drowning children, rushed upon the
ice, which g.ive way with her weight, and
she s mk below the surface.
Air. Slater then attempted to reach his
wife and he, too, was drowned. The en
tire family is wiped out of existence.
Hundreds of people gathered about the
lake, searching for the bodies.
It is now learned that the children
drowned yesterday were not all of one
family. Two were sons of Slater aged 17
and 14 years, a third was a erand-child
named Twiliger aged 9 years and a fourth
a girl named Busb ageu 10 years. The
brdy of Airs. Slater was recovered about 9
o'clock last night. Great difficulty is ex
perienced in grappling for the bodies as
the ice is continually giving away, beinc
but an inch thick in the vicinity of the
hole through which the six persons disap
peared. .
NARROW ESCAPE FROM FIRE.
Xassas ClTV, Mo., Feb. 10. Three ser
vants, Carrie Carver and Mary Jackson.

4 o'clock this morning a young nion named
Cox, employed in the hotel, wae awaken
ed by screams in the building and running
out he saw ic was enveloped in flames. He
tried unsuccessfully to burst open the
door. A policeman appeared and with
his club pried enough wire from the win
dow to allow the servants being dropped
through the opening thus made. They
were taken out in an insensible condition
and their arms and shoulders were badly
torn by tbe barbs. The recue was effected
just as the flames burst into the room.

Edmond, Ok., Feb. 10. The discovery
of a horrible murder was made today.
Three andjine half miles north of this city
the body of Charles" Grant, a young man
21 years of age, was found in a manure
pile by the side of his barn. Suspicion
rested upon his neighbors, Ed. Belden and
John Hawley and wife, and they were ar
rested yesterday by Deputy United States
Marshal Galb Creath, Deputy Marshal
Overton and City Marshals Hunt, through
a very ruse of Marshal Galbreath. The
parties told conflicting stories, but put
on a biazen face, the woman
being particularly vixenish and vicious.
When the body was found they wilted
and there can hardly be a doubt the right
parties are in custody.
Young Grant came to this country in
April from Canada with his brother, John
A. Grant, who sold and went back home.
Charles Grant was improving hiB claim.
Belden and Hawley wanted it. They claim
to have given $400 tor his entire outfit of
stock, including the claim. It Is known
Grant was offered SoOO for the claim. It
was given out that he had gone back home.
Not appearing in Canada suspicion of foul
play was created and Belden and Hawley
weie arrested. When the body was found
the woman was also put under
arrest. At 11 o'clock today the
body was found with only a vest and night
clothes on under a Dile of manure. It was
identified as that of Charles Grant. It
had a ball through the heart, which also
carried away part of the liver. It was the
ball of a 3S-calibre pistol. Such a pistol
was found on the person of Hawley when
arrested.
Young Grant had made many friends in
this section and was universally regarded
as a very worthy young man. The body
was brought to the city today and buried
this evening.
KUMYMEDFSLOSS.
Mr. Tbomas Stiarpe Hudson, Recently Ar
rived from England, Dies.
Special Corrcspondencu to tho Dally Eacle.
Rustntmede, Kan., Feb. 10 Last week
the English colony at Runnymede ex
perienced the greatest loss it has experi
enced since its commencement. On Fri
day morning last the 31st inst Mr. Thomas
Sbarpe Hudson departedi this life at the
Runnymede hotel after some three months
of sickness. Mr. Hudson only arrived in
this country last December and had been
quite an invalid previous to bis arrival.
Although weak in bodily health his mind
was ever active, and during his brief so
journ amongst us he was greatly respected
and looked up to by all who came in con
tact with him as a man of sterling good
qualities and possessing more than the
ordinary share of business faculties. Mr.
Hudson had from the first the interest of
Runnymede at heart, and had entered
into partnership with Mr. Turney in the
town aud business and many were his
plans to place Runnymede first amongst
the towns of the west; but alas, death with
its never failing hand hns removed one of
our most beloved and prominent citizens
and every Englishman here feels and
knows that in the late Mr. Hudson he has
lost a true fiiend and benefactor.
The body was removed from the hotel on
Sunday afternoon aud placed in a carriage,
the horses being previously unharnessed,
and the Emdisti bojs drew it over to the
new church where his many friends view
ed for the last time the remains of him
who was so greatly respected and beloved
by all who had met him during his brief
stay here.
'lhe funeral took place on Monday after
noon at 4 o'clock, the Rev. Dr. Beatty, of
Wellington, officiatinir. Service was held
in the new church which was crowded
with sorrowing friends. During the sing
ing of the hymn "Brief life is here our
portion," the coffin was borne from the
church hy six of his fellow countrymen to
the grave situated on the east side of the
church followed by his sorrowing widow
and the whole congregation. The sad pro
cession passed to the grave side; the coffin
was lowered to its last resting place and
the congregation dispersed.
Mr. Hudson, who was from West Hentle
pool, Durham, in the north of Encltnd,
leaves behind him a sorrowing widow and
two young children. In conclusion let me
add that one and all here will do their ut
most to comfort and chter her who has lost
one so much beloved. The wiiter of this
paragraph can hardly yet realize the great
los the colony has sustained, as the late
Mr. Hudson was a man of great business
caDacsty and his loss is felt the greater on
account of his mature age and vast ex
perience. With the warm weather the new build
ings dowu here have been commenced aud
and the contractors are having a busy time
of it. Captain Filliter haset the ball
rolling and has commenced a lartre build-
f ing to be tioed as a skittle alley on'one side
ana a large gramery to uom some 10,000
bushels of coin, and a lunch counter.
The much needed lumber yard has been
started by one of our capitalists and will
be opened in about six weeks.
Plans are out for tbe creamery, a rectory
and several other building, so that by the
time the railroad comes we will have a
first class town.
The Watmough Dry Goods company re
ceived its full line of spring stoctr this
week and now tbe capacious store is full of
all kinds of clothing, dry goods, etc, and,
we hear, doing a first class trade.
IMPOSING UPON THE CREDULOUS.
Wasedcgtox. Feb. 10. Information has

to the effect that a man calling himself EL
McGregor, whd was at Top-ka, Kan., from
January 16 to 21, claimed that he was an
examiner of national bants. Tbe comp
troller says as there is no examiner of this
name it will be well for twos: officer to be

i to explore his history.
CHICKASAW LEGISLATURE IN SESSION
Gainesville, Tex.,Teb. 10. It has Jctet
been learned that by call of Gorernor
Byrd the Chickasaw legislature was con
vened in extra session some days ago. The
meetings bare been extremely secret, and
the fact that the legislature was in session
at all only became known today. The
object for the meeting is to reorganize the
Chickasaw militia in such a manner as to
insure the enforcement of the tribal, laws
upon non-citizens, those who occupy the
Chickasaw lands on payment of a permit
or occupation tax. The fear that the Uni
ted States government would not offer the
Indians sufficient support in enforcing the
laws is the causa of this action.
A GERMAN'S AWFUL SUICIDE.
SALIXA, Kan.. Feb. 10. John L. Geb
hart, a Pennsylvania German, was found
dead in his house today. He was a wid
ower and lived alone. Having missed
him about the premises his neighbors
broke iu the door, when a ghastly sight
was presented. He had suicided by
placing a shotgun into his month, tbe
contents of which went through his head
and the blood, hair and wadding lodged iu
the ceiling. He was about 50 years old
and has a father and three brothers here,
all of whom are well to-do business men.
The cause is attributed to general des
pondency. ITEMS JROM EUTGHSHEB.

Kingfisher, Ok., Feb. 10. Tha mild
weather for the past winter has helped
many a poor claim-holder to live on his
claim, build a good house and prepare for
the coming year. Spring in all her radiant
beauty is here and everywhere the farmers
are at work preparing the ground for a
big crop. Tbe rainfall for tho past six
months has left the ground in elegant con
dition and Kingfisher county will produce
the largest crops ever raised on sod ground.
The farmers of this vicinity are thrifty
aud industrious and have come
to stay, the speculator homesteaders
have all sold their claims and there
is not a claim within twenty miles of
Kingfisher that can be bought All the
vacant land is taken aud it is estimated
that this county has 5,000 voters.
Kingfisher has one of the best and most
beautiful locations of any town in Okla
homa. It is located on high and rising
ground and with but one or two streets to
be graded the town is on a natural grade
There are two creeks, one on the north
side of the city and one on the east side.
This affords a good way in which to carry
off the dminage, and within two hours
after the hardest rain the streets are
almost dry.
Tbe Rock Island has built at this point
one of their largest sized depots and put in
2,500 feet of aide-tracks. Last month
over 200 car loads of freight were unloaded
at this point aud receipts of the rail road
were over $9 600,
Messrs Jones and McKinlav have a con
tract to furnish the railroad 500 cords of
wood. This is all bought from the people
of the blacks jacks. These colored people
havesold about 5000 railroad ties, so they are
not in as destitute circumstances as some
might think, but are in good paying condi
tion. Two new brick-kilns are being
built and at least 1.000,000 brick will be
made. Six two story brick buildings have
been contracted and this city will enjoy a
building boom thia summer.
Merchants are all having a good steady
business, and all have made money since
they came here.
The city povernment is in a good flour
ishing condition, and is anxiously waiting
to nrove un. There have been no fights
over property aud no ejectments. Out of
2,500 lots on the town site the title to not
more than ten of these will be contested in
the courts This is a good showing, and
proves the good work of the city govern
ment and the chaiacter of the people.
When tbe Cheyenne and Arapahoe coun
try west of this place is opened for stttle
ment Kingfisher will be the exact geo
graphical center. Does this mean tho
capital or not? Of course the people of
this city and county say it does; that King
fisher today has the bust chance' of being
the capital of any town in Oklahoma, and
the man to be appointed governor will
come from Kingfisher.

Washington. Feb. 10. In the senate
today many bills were introduced and
placed on tbe caleudur for the erection of
public buildings.
Mr. Sherman offered an amendmeut to a
bill makiug appropriations for public
buildings, which was referred to the judi
ciary committee, appropriating 5,745 for
the widow of Chief Justice Waite, being
equal to the balance of uLj salary for one
year.
The house bill appropriaMng W,000 for
the Marion, Ind., branch of the soldiers'
home, to be immediately available for the
current fiscal year, was passed.
The senate resumed consideration of the
bill to provide temporary government for
the territory of Oklahoma.
Mr Plumb offered an amendment to in
clude withiu the boundaries of the terri
tory all that tract of land bounded on th
east by the 100th meridian, on the south
by the state of Texas, on tbr we6t by the
territory of New Mexico, and on the uorth
by the states of Colorado and Kansas, and
known as the public laud strip.
Mr. In pi lis inquired of his colleague
whether that was the region known as No
Man's Land. t
Mr. Plumb It is.
Mr. lug.klls I believe that it is not con
tiguous to the territory provided for iu the
bill.
Mr. Piatt It is a tract of land 125 miles
from Oklahoma territory.
Mr. Plumb admitted that that was one
of the difficulties of the situation: but he
argued, nevertheless, that the jurisdiction
of the territory ot Oklahoma should le
extended oyer No Man's Land.
Mr. Piatt argued against the amend
ment, stating that it would be just a in
congruous ns it would be to unite a county
iu eastern Kansas to a county in western
Kansas. The organization of No Mau'n
Laud should bti left until thu.Cherokee
outlet (which intervene-) shall be opened
to settlement and shall be attached to
Oklahoma. Then he might be disponed to
have the public laud strip attached to the
territory of Oklahoma, although some
favored its annexation to Texa.
Mr. Coke said it was already attached to
Texas for judicial purposes.
lhe discussion was continued by Sena
tors Vest, Jones.'Of Arkansas; Plumb and
Piatt Finally the question was taken on
Mr. Plunib'.s amendment aud the voto was
yeas 14, nays IS no quorum.
Alter a call of the roll and the ascertain
ment of the presence of a quorum, the bill
was laid aside without final action on Mr.
Plumb'ri amendment, and the bill to' aid
in the establishment and temporary sup
port of co m in on schools was tuken up as
unfinished business.
Mr. Blair resumed his argument in favor
of the bill.
