FrrfJrMcthe Gazette
Cisco Tex March 2 Mrs Hull
the widowed daughter of Mrs Booth of
the Rising Star neighborhood in this
county while on a visit to friends in
Eastern Texas married a young man and
n tew weeks ago brought him to her
homo In a short time he showed a very
violent disposition and general worth-
lessness He abused his wife and be-
came a nuisance to tho neighbors Last
Tuesday night he bent his wife with a
club when she left home and went
to the bouse of Mr Garner a near
neighbor her husband whose name I
have been unable to learn following her
with a gun When he arrived she ran
out the back way and wout to her fa-
thers n half mile distant Tho iufuri
ated husband when he found his wife
had escaped made threats that in the
morning he intended to kill her old man
Booth and himself These threats were
communicated to Mr Booth Early next
morniug the young man went to Booths
house in a wagon and forced the door
open and entered Mr Booth snapped a
pistol at him when he ran and jumped
into the wagon Booth then got a small
target gun nud fired at him the ball
taking effect in the young mans back
The team ran some distance when he
fell from the seat the wheels passing
over his head mid mashing it in a horrid
manner Mr Booth surrendered him-
self and after a prelenilnary examina-
tion was admitted to bail in the sum of
500 His act is regarded as entirely
justifiable and the community is glad to
be rid of a base character

The Tains Taken by tha Average lawmaker
In Preparing a Bill for Introduc-
tion Weets Programme
AFHAID TO REFUSE
Special to the Gazette
m
Washington March 2 How much
pains is taken by the average law maker
in preparing a bill for introduction in
either house and hence what measure of
importance he attaches to the first stages
of lezislnlion may bo judged from the
form orthography and otherwise of the
followiug bill introduced in tho senate
by Mr Ingalls doubtless omating from
some prohibition society in his own state
Be it enacted in tho senate and house of
Representatives of the united states of America
in Congress Assembled
That from and after the Passage of thi3 act
the Inter Commerce Laws shall be amended by
adini thereto the Following section
That any Person or Persons shipping into
ano her Bta te or Territory any Intoxicating
Liquora that the laws of tho state or Territory
Forbids the S3lc cf the same shall be gilty of
Misdemeanor and upon Conviction thereoff shall
be linned not less than five hundred dollars nor
more than fio thousan Dollars and one year
Imorison at Hard kabor
Beit further enacted That any Person or
Persons smngung aay Intoxicating Liquors
into anv stave or Te ritory for the pnrpos of
Violating or Avadinc the Laws of said state or
Territory sha 1 upon Conviction Thereoff be Con-
fined in the state Prisson thereof for Aturmof
five years at Haid Labor
Beit further enacted That any Person or
Transportation Company that Carries any Intox-
icating Liquors into any state or Territory that
tl a Laws ol said state or Territory Fcrbids the
sail of the same Except for Medical Purpeses
shal be learned gilty of Misdemeanor and tipon
Conviction thereoff be fined not less than ono
hundred dollars tor each and every Alienee thus
Committed
It would probably be argued that this
was predestined never to go a step be-
yond introduction and reference and
would be promptly pigeonholed iu the
committeeroom anyway bo that no
greater caro was necessary in revisiug
the manuscript But where that is
bound to bi the case why does not tho
cougressmiln involved say so plainly to
his constituents spariug the latter a
serious disanpoiutment nnd the govern-
ment the needless expense of printing
and the timo occupied on tho floor or in
committee with empty formalities
NATIONAL INKBKIATE ASYLUM
Special to the Gazette
Washington March 2 In recogni-
tion of the cosmopolitan character of the
drunks at the capital congress pro-
poses to build and run an inebriate
asylum in Washington at national ex-
pense The senate committee on public
buildings nnd grounds has such a propo-
sition which it contemplates reporting
favorably to the senate The original
proposition which is not a new one wa3
to construct such an institution for the
District of Columbia as all municipal
institutions hero are provided for tho
goveruoient to pay half the expense but
it is held by senators that this would not
bo fair to the community as the District
is not responsible for tho distinguished
visiting inebriates
WEEK IN CONGRKSS
Washington March 2 Congress ap-
parently has settled down to strict busi-
ness and is making rapid progress in tho
consideration and dispojition of leeisln
tion The senate will duplicate this
week to a great extent tho programme of
last week It is hoped a vote will be
reached on the Blair bill In case
a vote is reached before the end
of the week Mr Sherman will
raovo to have his bill declaring trusts to
be unlawful taken up for discussion He
will be antagonized by Mr Frye who
under instructions of the committee re-
porting the measure will ask that the
Pacific railroad funding bill bo made the
order of the day This contest for posi-
tion will occur whenever the educational
bill is out of the way if not this week
then later
The outlook in the house is for a week
devoid of interestiue proceedincs m com-
parison with what has gone before The
election contest of Featherstone vs Cate
will probably be pushed to conulusiou
Monday Tuesday aud Wednesdny are
set by special order for action on publio
building bills The pension appropria-
tion bill may come up about the middle
of the week

ALL DUE TO JEALOUSY
How Kate CInxton the Actrpss Got Herself
Into a reck of Trouble
Frf fol to the Gazette
New York March 2 A peculiar lit-
tle story was told yesterday about some
popular actors that ha9 elements both of
comedy and tragedy in it Last autumn
when Miss Kate Claxton and her hus-
band Charles A Stevenson were play-
ing in Booties Baby at Madison
Square theater Miss Claxton became
jealous of her husband and allowed the
feelincr to go so far that she resolved to
have him watched by a detective She
went to the office of J B E F Bra
man lawyers and commissioners at No
1270 Broadway to secure a
detective and at the door
she met J C Braman Bon of the head
of the firm She mode nn arrangement
with him to have him watch Mr Steven-
son for four duy3 at S10 a day Young
Mr Braman watched Mr Stevenson for
half a day and reported to Miss Claxton
that he had discovered nothing improper
in his conduct The next morning Miss
Claxtou sent him 55 by her manager
Mr Cone who is also her brother with
word that she was satisfied and he need
do no more Mr Braman however
sent in his bill for the full time of four
days and Miss Claxton by advice of her
brother refused to pay it The bill was
seut by Aaron LaBaw a young man
whom Mr Bramau sometimes era
ployed to do detective work
Two weeks ago the company came to tho
new Park theater and the young detec-
tive concluded to make another attempt
to collect his bill Mr LaBaw took the
bill to the stage a week ago Inst Thursday
night and asked that it ha handed to Miss
Claxton Mr Stevenson was standing
with some friends near and took the bill
and when he saw what it was his feelings
may be imagined but not described He
told LaBaw to come again the next night
aud he would settle tho matter The
next evening the youth went to
tho theater and the call boy told
him that Mr Stevenson wanted to see
tho man who bad a bill to collect As
Bramau and LaBaw were entering the
stage door the boy said He only wants
to see one of you
LaBaw then went in alone and as
soon as he was inside Mr Stevenson as-
saulted him and drove him out kicKing
him twice This Is the story as told by
young Mr Braman His father next
day received a letter from Stevenson
saying he had thrown one of his em
ployes out of the theater and would bo
glad to do so for him Mr
Braman replied by expressing a doubt
of Mr Stevensons ability to carry out
his promise and adding that he had had
nothing to do with tho affair aud had no
bill agaiust Mr Stevenson It was at
first intended to bring suit for damages
for assault in the district court but Mr
LaBaw now intends to sue in a higher
court for S1000 and young Braman says
he will also sue for the amount ol his
bill
FINANCIAL SITUATION
Ao a Whole It Cannot be Truthfully Described
as Encouraging
Special to the Gazette
Nev York March 2 The past week
has witnessed no startling chauges in
Wall street or outside of it Tho rail-
road earnings that are constantly being
reported speak for themselves but it is
now being quite thoroughly understood
that the large volume of general business
that is reflected in the traffic returns and
the bank exchanges is not particularly
profitable The winter is now po nearly
over that the merchants can estimate
with approximate accuracy to what ex-
tent they have overestimated the
seasons demand for staple goods
Trade reports agree that businoss
generally has been disappointing that
an unusually large proportion of goods
will have to be carried over aud that
extension of mercantile obligations aro
becoming quite common Of course
hopefulness is noted in many important
lines but it cannot supply the place of
satisfactory profits The iron
trade is giving symptoms of
something more than a temporary
reaction and is beginning to respond to a
stimulated production Tho situation as-
a whole cannot be truthfully described
as encouracing nor is this surprising
for under the existing financial condi-
tions the country cannot be expected to
expand Its business operations but sim-
ply to live No branch of the business of
tho country requires so little comment
at the moment as that which is trans-
acted in Wail streot since stagnation is
rapidly becoming a chronic condition in
that locality The factors that make or
unmake a market for securities are how-
ever operating considerably and can-
not be ignored Of these none
is more important than the
workiucs of the financial system
of the country and next to it must
be placed the inequalities that aro forced
upon railroads and their patrons by cer-
tain provisions of the interstate commerce
law The remedy in each case seems to
be clear and it rests with the representa-
tives of the people at Washington to
apply it and that means if anything
hope deferred

Kansas City Mo March 2 Hon
Edwin P McCabo returned from Wash-
ington yesterday and will leave for
Oklahoma tonight visiting Lincoln first
and then the other negro settlements in
rapid succession Mr McCabe despair-
ing of scouring an aopointment as gov-
ernor of the new territory will ask re-
cognition for his race In his appointment
as secretary of the territory In this de
maud he will be suoported by the Grand
Brotherhood which claims nearly one
half the population of Oklahoma for the
blacks in point of numbers This
change in demand for oflico is in
accordance with the decision of
tho Brotherhood council which held
a session a few days ago in Oklahoma
which was attended by the officers from
Kansas Missouri Arkansas and
Mississippi That body realizing
that it was impossible to tako
from the Indian candidate the
strength liable to give him the office
claimed with a show of justice the
Becoud place in the territory government
With McCabo as secretary the Brothor
hood has determined to redouble their
efforts to fill tho territory with negroes
and force the iesuc to
A STATE ORGANIZATION
i
within a year if possible Two organ-
izers were appointed by the council to
work in the Northern states forming
lodges and inducing Northern negroes to
make their homes m Oklahoma it being
claimed by the chief that this class wero
more selfreliant aud aggressive aud
that from among the North-
ern negroes would come the
leaders in all future movements
It was decided to encourage the blacks to
remain at their present homes till the
time for opening the Strip was an-
nounced but at the same timo to have
them ready to move by rail nt any
moment The immigrant agents in
the South were ins tructed to in-
crease their efforts as homes or at
least abiding places would be found In
the negro settlements in Oklahoma for
at least 30000 more people of that race
While there aro not claims for these
people they aro to be cared for by those
WHO HAVE SECURED HOMESTEADS
until the whites abandon their claims or
until the Strip is opened Agents have
been stationed at Arkansas City and
Caldwell whose sole work will bo to keep
the council informed as to the movement
of the boomers who are now congregat-
ing on the border These agents will also
secure information as to those
who aro now selecting claims
Other agents have been located on the
northern border of Oklahoma to watch
the movements there In addition to
the agents of the south a special envoy
G W Edmund has been sent on a tour
through the Southern States whose work
will bo to systematize the work of
the local men who are sending negroes
north He will iusist that none bo sent
who have not substance for at least ono
yenr and that no families be sent to Ok-
lahoma whero tho head of the household
is not an ablebodied man He has been
instructed to urge the immigration of
men and voters which is in accord with
the plans of the Brotherhood
TO CAPTURE THAT COUNTRT
whenever the first state election is held
All negroes not selfsustaining will be
persuaded to remain in the South until
after the stato government is organized
as tho council does not desire the weight
of a population that will require as-
sistance at this time As Washington
agent Mr McCabe sent 300 families from
North Carolina and 500 families from
South Carolina direct to Oklahoma
where they are now comfortably
situated some of whom will go to the
Strip Mr Jarrett one of the Kansas
agents who se headquarters has been
with the Immigration association m this
city has completed arrangements by
which over 5000 families will be brought
into the Territory before September 1 all
from the Southern states A number of
wealthy negroes in WashingtonDCare
aiding in this last movement with their
mouoy as well as with their influence
Senators Ingalls and Plumb are lending
their influence to these movements the
former being especially active while
Beyeral ot the members ot the house are
warm supporters of
THE PROPOSED s EGKO STATE
Gen Kelley and Hon E H Dunston
have identified themselves with the
movement and havo given valuable aid
to the negroes at Washington who are
tending every energy to people that ter-
ritory Mr McCabo had an Interview
with President Harrison in which the
latter nsked why the black race did not
try to people a Southern state McCabe
in reply said We desire to get-
away from the associations that
cluster about us in tho South-
ern stateB We wish to remove from
the disgraceful surroundings that so de-
graded my people and in a new territo-
ry in Oklahoma show the people of tho
United States and of the world that wo
are not only good loyal citizens but
that we are capable of advancement and
that we can be an honor to those who
broke down the barriers of slavery
Some of us have names borrowed from
our masters some of us have the blood
of those who owned us as chattels but
disowned us as
SONS AND DAUGHTER8
We are willing to abide by that decision
but in a now country on new lands with
a climate suited to our race we desire to
show you that we are men and women
capable of selfgovernment and loyal

ment

any opinion seemed to bo favorably

have secured a section of land which
is set apart for a university Waldorf
Astor has promised to endow it with

and a present United States senator wJl
Eivo 850000 toward the buildings as
soon as the territorial government
Is established which will probably bo

urged congress
TO ACT SPEEDILY
Donations will be secured to put up
ouildlngs within tho year valued at
100000 and there will be established
i tho greatest negro university In the
world It will be located not far from
Kingfisher This is one of the fruits of
the work done by the first Grand Inde-
pendent Brotherhood which society is
iibiug every effort to bring the strougeat
and best men in that race into the terri-
tory in addition to the mure leuoranc
whom they propose to elevate The con-
vention cnlled to meet at Kingfisher
which is to take notion upon territorial
offices will be attended by the leaders cf
the necroes They will then endeavor to
have that convention recommend Mi Cube
for secretary of Oklahoma believing it
useless to further press his claims for
governor If this is done and tbe
are 22000 necroes iu the ter-
ritory claiming it the following
from a Southern negro paper will be real
with interest It would uot be loug
before Oklahoma would become a state
with such a mauas seeretar as the Ion
E P McCabe The Southern negro
would very soon thickly populate It
which would mean a safe Itepublican
state
If the wishes of these people are not at
that time considered they will unite la a
monster petition for
MCABE KOK GOVERNOR
and hasten the day when a vote will give
them what they demandwhen the whites
will forever be barred from office ihe
negroes now located in Graham county
among whom nre many intelligent men
are preparing to move In a
body to Oklahoma Thoy will fol-
low the general plan of making a
settlement so that their numbers will
constitute their strength As the3 >
were tho founders of tho Brotherhood
which has done so much to u tUt
race this contemplated movement la
significant They will take with them
considerable wealth and will have a re
servo to draw from and will add greatly
to the scheme of founding a uegro state
An officer of tho Brotherhood today
said We did not intend to have our
objects and aims given to ihe puLlio so
soon but there has been no harm don i-
Wo do propose to not only havo a major-
ity of the voters in Oklahoma but wo
propose also to have the entire popula-
tion There aro many now there
who will not livo in a nigger stato
Theso we
WIIXnELP MOVE OUT
We will not want a mass of white people
with us but will welcome those whites
who have money and who are willing to
come among us for purposes of trade If
they wish to make their homes there and
will make our customs their customs
our people their people we will
be glad to have thom with us We
havo not yet invaded the new cities
and you will find comparatively
few negroes in Guthrie Oklahoma City
Edmund and other towns However
we never take a stop backward and onlv
our own people know how many of our
race are there but prefer to fill the
country with farmers and encourage cur
people to go to the cities only as our
needs demand Before the end of the
year you will find the work of thp Broth-
erhood in the citios and towns to a
marked degree and will see our race be-
hind tbo counters and at the desia and
will find that they are patronized We
aro willing to have the whites
BUILD THE TOWN FOR US
for we are not as yet builders They
are doing all they can We do not pro-
pose to impose upon the whites or abuse
our power We will Bimply stand by our
own people and there can be but one
result and that result will bo a solid
necro state the grandest Ip the Union
In brief tbo power of this new soeety
tho Independent Brotherhood Is in a fair-
way to accomplish its purposes It has
united the black race and for the first
time the negroes can be said
to be a people guided by one
Impulse They are determined to have a
state and Oklahoma being their only
chance they are determined to capture
it by a peaceable conquest and they are
likely to Bucceed They will have tho
powwr They will have 100000 people
within the borders of that territory bo
fore the end of the year and with
McCabe as a territorial officer will
have 5000 more They are after homes
end a government and are In earnest
It will not he long before thoy begin to
fill up Guthrie and Oklahoma City aa
well as the smaller towns und then their
conquest will have been complete
