Hung In Enjoy.

A strange sight greeted the eyes Of
Eiko's early risers this morning. Sus.
pended by the neck from the hal
yards ct the flag pole, the image Ut n
man swung hack and forth in the
wind. The more timid thought 4
vigilance committee had been formed
in the night and some noted criminal
had paid the penalty for his crimes.
A close Inspection, however. satisfied
all that it was merely dummy made
up to represent District Attorney
Marion s. Wilson. The dummy was
dressed i'll pants Of a black and white
check, black coat and a black hot.
The head was made of -four sack
stuffed with straw or other material.
On the face we're black marks for the
e! es. month and ears. Tied to the
feet was board bearing this inecrip.
ton: @Notice the big head since he
became Dist. Atty. & high school
trustee. A big head & big coat &
little feet
The dummy swung back and forth
in the wind until about 9 o'clock,
when Sheriff Campbell cut it down
and gave it to an Indian. who packed
it off to his wickIup for the old
clothes.
The cause for this display Of i'll
feeling toward the district attorney is
supposed to grow ont Of his stand
in the board Of education IN favor of
the opening Of tile high school M m

IT Ii difficult to see Hhy the other

When Dsrnoc racy Will Die.

In reply to the repeated Repub

party is dead, some unknown Hickory
Democrat has put into verse the con.

II is:
When the lion eats grass like an OK.
And the tishW orm swallows th.

When the terrapms knit WOODEN

And the hare is outrun by the snail
When the serpents walk upright like
men,
And the doodle bugs travel like
frogs;
When the grasshopper feeds on the
hen,
And feathers are found on hogs;
When Thomas cats swim in the air,
And elephants roosts upon trees;
When insects in summer are rare.
And snuff never makes people
sneeze;
When fish creep over dry land,
And mules on velocipedes ridee;
When foxes lay eggs in the sand.
And women in dress take no pride;
When the Dutchm IN no longer
drinks beer,
Amt girls get to preaching ON time.
When the billy goat butts from the
rear,
And treason no longer is crime;
When the humming bird brays like
an ass,
And imberger smells like cologne:
When pillow shares are made out OF
glass,
And hearts of Illinoisana are stone;
When sense grows in Republican
heads,
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the Democratic party will be
dead,
And this country not worth a

FIRE PROTECTION NEEDED.
Suggestions for an inexpensive
Equipment.

Vinita cannot, with prudence, long
er neglect providing some appliance
for fighting fire. lit is felt that ex-
penditures must be meagre, a half
dozen or so ladders OF different
lengths, three or four axes, and half
hundred galvanized water buckets,
which retail at 20 cents each, could
certainly be bought. This kind OF an
outfit, with ii light truck to carry
them, heavy hook with piece Of
chain, and rope, for pulling down
porches, awnings, ETC., would place us
in shape il kept in an accessible place,
to offer some resistance to fire, in its
early stages. A volunteer fire COM
pany can be organized any day and all
the members needed, secured. The
chief should be man OF expert
ence in such work, il such an one can
be secured, and he should be made a
special city deputy marshal, or in
some other manner clothed with OFF,
cial authority, to compel obedience to
his orders.
Possibly these suggestions are wide
Of the mark and imperfect, but all
will agree that we are practically
helpless and that some steps should be
taken, and at once. People who were
at Muskogee the morning OF the fire
state that it did not seem possible
that so much property could be de-
stroyed and that II some temporary
structures had been torn down there
need not have been. But no one had
any authority to tear down another's
house, however cheap and worthless,
and so two beautiful brick blocks
were destroyed.

THE BROADER VIEW.

Our friends who recently organ
ized themselves into a relief union
for Vinita have met with fiattering
encouragement from most of the
business and professional people
of the town and are full of hope
for the fruition of their Labor of
love-" But az this institution is
to be permanent it is necessary
that our people stand by it and
give it their moral support as well
as their 25 cents a month dues.
We believe some of our people are
making mistake in asking that
they be relieved from the burdens
of membership or OF assisting in
any way an organization that is
purely charitable. No man or
woman should allow themselves
to live a life of selfishness and OF
insensibility TO the suffering of
which the world is all to full. The
old monkish conception of life was
a narrow and selfish one. 1t was
the theory that as the world was
very evil, the best thing to do was
to get as far away from it as pos
sible, and live purely and seek to
save ones own soul, whatever
might become of the rest of the
world. This was a weak and self
ish way ofliving-it was small and
unworthy.

UNITED STATES COURT.

In the habeas corpus case of

day in these columns that Judge
springer had sustained Commits
sioner Don Carlos and denied the
writ. Judge Springer has not

jail at Ft. Smith.

w. T. McAnally, an aged and
afflicted veteran Of the civil war,
was in Judge Springer's court yes
terday in most pitiable condition
from the effects of a wound receiv-
ed in battle in March, 1865. The
old man is suffering from loss of
intellect, and epilepsy, and the
evidence allowed that he had been
cruelty treated and driven from
home by his family, and also that
he has for yearsbeen Systematically
robbed of his pension of s72 a
month by INSCRIPTIONS persons
with whom hard fortune has
thrown him in contact. Judge
Springer called some of the physi-
clans of the town TO examine him,
and after satisfying himself as to
the mental condition of the old
man appointed his brother as his
guardian, who he required to give
a good and sufficient bond. He
was allowed one dollar day for
taking care of the unfortunate man.

A bill was introduced in the Ok
lahoma legislature day or two
ago that prohibits everyone from
carrying pistols at church except
the preacher. This, itself, ought
to be sufficient reason for the In

doubtless expect small collec-
ton. We want no alliance with
