There are no hsppier men la the national capital this week than dele gates Dennis T. Flynn, Bernard 8. Kodey and Marcus A. Smith, whose un tiring efforts have accomplished what promises to be a signal victory for the omnibus territorial bill, which will be called up in the house of representatives tomorrow. Speaking of the campaign which he believes will result in state hood lor Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one stab:, Mr. Flynn, "tbe future senator for Oklahoma," as his friend call him, said yesterday: "It bas been a bard fight because of the numerous misconceptiora in regard to my terri tory which existed In the bouse. I have labored early and late, in season and out, and now I believe a large majority of the members have some appreciation of the giganlic strides which Oklahoma has made. With a total indebtedness of 1400,000, she hss $300,000 in the treas ury. She lias 2500 schoolhouses and tbe largest educational fund of any state in (he Union. She has a larger assessed valustion than Wyoming. By s rule of the bouse the last census must be taken aa a basis for congressional representa tion, and even on that basis we will have two representatives, (einething no other territory has hs.l at the time of Its ad mission; and if the actual population were tnken, we would have three " Iu reply to a question, Mr. Flynn said that, had the party leaders been keenly alive to their opportunities, they might have Admitted Oklahoma on strict party lines, but they were not and he was obliged to effect s coalition with the friends of New Mexico and Ariiona in order to get the bill befoie the bouse. Hecently he had been urged to abandon the advocates ol statehood for the other territories and push his own separately, but be had re fused to go back on his friends and they would "sink or swim together." Mr. Flynn is most hopeful ol fsvorable action by the senate. Mr. Kodey is enthusiastic as to tbe prospects ol statehood for New Mexico. "It has been a long fight," said he. "For titty five years we have been pleading for statehood. We have seen other terri tories with not half our claims admitted into the sisterhood of states, and tbey have prospered, as we will. Every false statement which has been made In re gard to my territory, which has come to my notice, I have corrected, and I have written hundreds of letters to the press. Think ol it I New Mexico furnished more soldiers to the Union army than any other state. Two-thirds of the presi dent's regiment came from New Mexico. All our generous revenues have gone into the federal treasury, and without such assurance has been given to Porto Kico that an equal amount would be expended within our borders. But vic tory is now in sight, and a territory which is equal in area to New York, New Jersey and all of New England, which built 80J miles of railroad last year, will soon become one of the fair est and most prosperous states In tbe Lnion." Mr. Smith, being a member of the mi nority, bad, perhaps, less influence in bringing about the success of tbe bill than tbe other delegates, nevertheless he has succeeded in marshalling tbe solid democratic vote in its support, not withstanding the fact that the passuge of the omnibus bill will add four republican and but two democratic votes to the sen ate. "It is not a party question," said Mr. Smith. "It is a case of simple jus tice, and one to which both parties are committed by their national platforms. Ninety-three republican and all the dem ocratic votes are pledged to support tbe bill, and we believe success is insured." All last week the democratic senators spent in condemning the policy of the administration in the Philippines, with the exception of Friday, when Senator I'ritchard of North Carolina expounded the republican view. Today at 2 o'clock Senator Ixlge will deliver tbe first broadside, and fitnators Hpooner and Iieveriilge are preparing speeches to be delivered Ibis week. It is the hopo of the republicans that a vote on the bill can be secured next Monday, although there are many who declare that the leaders sre oversangiiine, Nothing par ticularly new has been brought out since TOfllJS RELIEF A really healthy wom;in lias lit tle palu or discomfort at the menslruiil period.

IlZiZTV""''-t- 1 SM'HS.Tllin. my last letter, The senate adopted Sen ator Culberson's resolution calling 00 the secretary of war for a statement of tbe expense which the Philippines have been to the United States since their ac quisition, and it ia most likely that the figures will prove a revslation to the tax payers. Tbe investigation of the committee on relations with Cuba has not developed anything sensational in regard to the possession by tbe sugar trust of Cuban sugar. In fact, tbe president, the treas urer and "raw sugar buyer" of the trust have all been examined and baye stated, under oath, that the trust held no Cuban sugar. It would appear from their state ments that reciprocity with Cuba would afflict them little, one way or the other, and they positively deay having lobbied to procure Cuban reciprocity. The indi cations are tbat the adoption of the Tel ler resolution will strengthen the cause of the administration in urging congress to adopt a reciprocity law. Tbe House of Representatives baa been displaying unusual industry dur ing tbe psst week. The omnibus public building bill, the agricultural and tbe District of Columbia appropriation bills have been passed, and the bill providing for diplomatic relations with Cuba will be sent to the senate in a few days. But two more appropriation bills remain, the naval bill and tbe general deficiency bill. The total sum of the general appropria tion bills so far passed or reported amounts to $658,851,208. The past week ha witnessed the de parture from the cabinet and from Wash ington ol Secretary Long and bis sue cession as secretary of the nary by for mer Representative Moody of Massa chusetts. Tbe Informal announcement comes from the white house that Henry Clay Evans is to be appointed consul general at London in the place of the late William McKlnley Osborne. As 1 have before slated, Mr. Eugene F. Ware succeeds Mr. Evans as commissioner of pensions. A Strong Attraction. Wiedemau'e Big Show, an attraction that bas played the California anil Sound Circuit for the last year will open a weeks engagement at the opera bouse on Monday, May 19 presenting as an opening bill, the four act seusutional comedy, "Down in Egypt," a story of southern Illinois. This company carries 25 people and a great band and orchestra and special scenery and effects for all of their productions. Bstween acts five strong Vaudeville features are intro duced making a continuous performance and avoiding the long wsits. Promt nent among the specialties is Nellie Wicdemsn, the electric dancer with a wonderful color revelation, Petite .ella Marie, the child artist, Lyndon and Wrenn, the Australian-Amsrlcan traves ty stars In the laughable sketch, "The New Woman" introducing tbe latest songs and eccentric dancing, and Lawrence and Idaelens, the society sketch artists. Tbe solo orchestra is s feature that will please lovora of high class music. Ladies will be admitted free on Monday night, I. e. every lady accompanied by an escort, (lady or gentleman) holding one paid reserved seat ticket purehssed before 9 o'clock Monday evening will receive oue free admission. The prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents. City of Medford Loses. Judgo Uullingor bat declared that tho city of Modford had- no pownr to tax tho franchise of tho Kunaut Tiln phonu & Telegraph Company. Tho suit was brought by the lutlor to on join tho city of Modford from remov ing tho poles and wires of tho com plainant from tho streets of thut city, undur an ordinance imposing a IIi-oiiho upon the company of 1100 per your, and requiring an agrcemont not to churgo customers in Medford more than ll.fjo per month for Its wrvlu-s. Tho question Involved was tho pow er of the city under its churtor. Tho court said that when thoolty gave the company a franchise, It might have chargod for tho franchise, but it did not. The court hold that In tho chur tT of tho city tho power of license as a meuns of rcgiiluting all business, Im plies a powor to rhargo a teo therefor siimViont to defray tho expenses of issuing tho lioDnso and to compensate tho city for any eximnse Incurred In maintaining such regulation. When ever it is manifest that the foo for the license is substantially In excess of what It should bo, It will bo considered a tux and tho order Imposing it void. Tho provision of the ordinance in re gurd to charging no more than $1.50 per month for Wlephono sorvleo wns not Insisted upon by defendant. Jts Invalidity was conceded, and It was therefore not necessary to consider It. Tho demurrer to the bill of ciinpiuint was overruled. An old farmer was in a merchant's office and asked if he would buy some fresh butter. Tlis merchant told bim that be would Inquire if bis wile needed any. Ho be stepped ut to the telephone, called her up and talked a lew seconds through the telenhone. Then, timing to the country man, who was standing with bis hsnds in bis pockets, Ins eyes stretched, and bis face very red, he told him that his wife did not need any butter. The indn- nant country man blurted out: "Look here, mister, If you didn't want anv butter, why didn't you say m1 I ain't such a fool as to think that you'vs got your wife shut up in that little box I" And be went away leaving the mer chant speechless.

Leland is thinking of getting a traction engine to carry passengers from the depot to Hotel Virtue and to other parts of our city. Frank Niday made our town a busi ness call one day last wtek. He says Hugo is too far from Leland lo make a town, as Leland. gels the trade from Hugo. Linn Browning was in our burg one day last week. He reports timss lively at Placer. A good deal of prospecting ia being done in that section. The Co lumbia mine has plenty of water yet. The cool weather is favorable for mining. S. B. Pettingill has been on the sick list, but is better at present writing. Uncle Burton is jumping around like a young man, although away up in the 70s. Being of Yankee slock, be carries bis sgo well and is full of life and energy Mrs. Henry ol Hugo made our town a visit one day last week. She reports quiet times at Hugo.

He is now employed in cutting wood (or his health. Many one can beat that, then we will look around and see II we cau find any old women. We have some that are very old. The climats here ii so invigorating that It Is conducive to longevity. We aie having mixed weather sun shine and clouds, with very light show ers. Vegetation never looked better at this time of year. I took a trip up Grave Crook recently. The scenery was grand the fruit trees all in bloom, tho allalfa growing so luxurisntly, the stock in the valleys cropping -the rich grass, and the air so bracing, that It made one thiuk this world wss a paradise. It is so late in the spring that we think all danger of frost Is past, so we can calculate on a big crop of fruit. We saw some parties from the Copper Stain mine recently. They showed us some rich rock that came from the mine. The rock had pieces of gold mixed through the quarts. A few- years ago there was a class of men calling them selves minors who would travel over tin hills digging little holes the site of hens' nests and say there was nothing In the country, but other miners would come in and givo the ground a close examination and also go down on the quarts and would uncover a good ledge. The deeper down they go, the rirher and better be comes the ledge. The health of the people in this vicin- ity is good and the cool mountain air is bracing to one's nerves. Bob, Bohemia KeUlroad.
