FOUR INDIAN BOYS BURN.
Fatal Fire In the Spencer Academy
Origin Supposed to He Incen-
diary-Several Injured.

Antlers, /. T., Oct 4-At II o'clock last
night Spencer academy, ten miles west OF
Antlers, burned to ashes. Four Choctaw
boys lost their lives in the flames. Their
names are John Smith. Daniel James,
Thomas Kuniolubbie. William Whilson.
Those injured are: Alfred Bryan. bruised
and burned on head; Harris Fisher. .sprained
foot: Cotton Bacon, legs sprained: Edward
Clark, tawbone broken; Sam Spring, burned
In face. on head and shoulders, and wrist
sprained.
The origin of the fire is supposed to be
room in which the fire broke out and there
had been no fire in it this season. Super
intendent ]. b. Jeter. who Is in charge of
the school. heard the flames popping, and
when he got up the stairway was on fire.
He ran on the outside and woke all the
boys and barely escaped with his own life.
The boys threw their beds out of the win
down and jumped to the ground on them.
One of the boys who were burned to death
was a cripple and the other three were in
rooms In which there were no windows. 1t
Is said their means and groans were heart
rending IN the extreme. To-day when an
Associated Press reporter visited the ruins
he found only the ashes and charred re-
healthy boys. The fire is still too hot to
get the bones for burial.
The academy was built by the Choctaw
nation and 1O2 boys were there last night
when it burned. Everything is total loss.
as the nation did not carry any insurance.
Superintendent Jeter does not know
whether the nation is going to rebuild. as
1t is financially embarrassed and is away
behind with the school fund.

KANSAS NO LONGER IN DOUBT.
Mckinley-The Fusion Out
fit Is Badly Scared.

Topeka, kas, Oct 4.-(Special) That the
Republicans of Kansas are absolutely GER
tain of success can no longer be doubted
by any one familiar with the situation in
this state. Members of the state central
committee are without an exception, GER
tain that the electoral vote of Kansas will
be cast for Mckinley; that the state ticket
will be successful and that every congre So
man elected will be a Republican.
This opinion is formed. not from desire
only, but by careful study of the situa-
ton and from reliable reports received at
Republican headquarters.
The fact that the Popocratic combination
is using every endeavor to prevent the
placing upon the official ballot of the mid
dle-of-the-road electors shows how badly
the fusion outfit is scared. Their claim Of
treachery on the part of the anti-fusion
members of the Populist party is laugh
able indeed, when 1t is known that the
nliddle-of-the-road crowd is simply carry
ing out the wishes of the Populist ma
tional convention at st. Louis, and the
Breidenthal gang is the one which has
not been true to it's principles, and has
endeavored to sell out the party for
place at the pie counter. The men who
have sacrificed the most for the Peoples
party are not the ones who place office
above principle. and Breidenthal, with all
of his Democratic allies. is sore because
he cannot lead the Peoples party of Kan
sas into the Democratic ranks.

TRUTH ABOUT DR.. BACKUS.
Some Inside History of the Attempt
to Gust Him From the PASTOR

synod.
Dr.. Backus was the minister who or
dGined the deacons of the Westminster
Presbyterian church, of Kansas City, Mo-,
after the split in the Second Presbyterian

as their pastor caused bolt" and the
minority withdrew and organized the West
nl:rster church and installed DIR. George
as pastor. DIR. Backus accepted an invita-
ton to ordain the deacons, and because he
carried out his promise and did So a fight
was organized on him. which is now giving
him considerable trouble. 1t has been car
rieti to the synod, and is likely to go to the
general assembly. So far. Dr. Backus has
won-that is, he has succeeded in retaining
the pastorate a his old church. His pas
toral relations We're ordered severed by the
presbytery. but he took an appeal, and all
proceedings have been STAYED off one year,
and he is permitted to preach at the Grand
