CONTEST NOT DECIDED.
Territory Has No National
Committeeman.

Tulsa, July 16.--To the demo.
Gratis Of the Indian Territory: So
many misleading reports have
gone out as to the action OF the
democratic national convention in
regard to the Office of national
committeeman for the Indian Ter
ritory, that we deem it proper for
the information of the clubs to
issue this circular. The credent-
ials committee OF the national con-
vention seated both the Woaverton
and Marcum delegations, and con-
sequently there was tie vote for
national Committeeman, three
votes being cast for A. j. Wolyer-
ton and three for Thos. Marcum,
hence there was no election and
the Office is now vacant.
The matter is now in the hands
of the sub. committee Of the ma
tional committee who at an early
date will suggest plan of filling
the vacancy. They will perhaps
do this by suggesting some just
and fair plan and referring it back
to the democracy of the Indian
Territory. This plan will be sat-
isfactory to all democrats who
have the interest of the party at
heart. In fact any other plan
would be manifestly Unfair and
un-democratic, as the people at
all times have the right to say
who shall serve them, and a denial
ofthis right would be contrary to
the well defined principles of our
party.
trust that all organizations
shall be maintained and prepared
to act upon any and sll questions
referred to them. You will be
promptly advised Of the action Of
the committee. Respectfully,
j. M. HALL,
Chairman democratic executive
committee for Indian Territory.

From the above sections of the
law it will be observed that our
base ball players are not the only
Sabbath breakers. There are other

officers to protect our town from
the contemplated match game to
be played stIhe park next Sunday.

STARTED A PRAIRIE FIRE,
An Army Officer Caused the Worst
One Ever known In Kansas.

An Army officer Caused the Worst
| One Ever known In Kansas.
The greatest prairie fire known in
Kansas was in the year 1869, and it
was set out by an officer of the United
States government.
One day in 1869 he and a party of
officers from Fort Hays were returning
from wild turkey hunt in the can
yons of the Saline. The wind was
blowing hurricane, and when stop
was made on the high prairie some ten
miles north of Hays this officer de-
liberately touched a match to the dry
crisp grass in order to make n spec
tacle. When the other officers saw
what he was about to do they made a
desperate effort to stop him, but the
deed had been done, and the red
flames We're reeling across the prairie
like n frightened antelope. That fire
swept from where it had been started
clear across Kansas into what is now
Oklahoma. The streams and roads
offered no obstacles to it whatever
While going south it had also turned to
the east and left trail of ruin across
Rice, Reno, Kingman, Harper and 9th
er counties. Thousands of settlers
were burned out, losing their houses
and their feed, their horses and cattle.
If the man who set that fire had been
known to the settlers, all the troops on
the plains would not have been enough
to stay their vengeance. AS it was, he
suffered remorse beyond description.
When the officers at Hays would bring
him papers, telling of the damage
done, he would groan and curse him
self roundly. He left Hays for some
other post in the following year. and,
so far as we know. his name was new
er connected with the gigantic prairie
fire of 1S69.-Kansas City Journal.

THE MAN WHO WORKS.
And the Man Who Gets Through
Things the Easiest Way He Can.

And the Man Who Gets Through
Things the Easiest Way He Can.
1.-The man that is so far advanced
that he likes the work he is doing"
said Mr.. Stoggleton, has reason to feel
hopeful of himself. / suppose that the
very great majority of us go through
the work we have in hand the easiest
way we can and get through it, skip
ping the hard places when possible and
thinking We'll be glad when it's fin
fshed; but the next job will be just the
same. There will be just about so
many hard places in it, and then We'll
be wishing just the same that we could
get through that job.
THE fact appears to be that we are
always trying to shrk the present job
We mean well in feeble sort of way,
and the next thing we tackle we are
going to do right up to the handle, but
when we strike that, when that be-
comes the present work, don't we try
to shirk that too? We do, indeed. And
that's what we do all through life-dai-
ly putting off our best endeavors till to-
morrow. Kind of miserable thing to
do, isn't it?
But occasionally you meet man
who puts in his best licks every day
and rejoices in the labor. He doesn't
care a continental what the next day
is going to bring to him-he can handle
it, whatever it is. Just now he's en-
gagged with tOday's labor, and he does
that up thoroughly and completely and
searches out the last nook and Granny
He isn't trying to see what he can
pass by, but what he can root out, and
he goes home satisfied with his work,
and he's the one man in a thousand
that leads all the rest, and his pay cor
responds with his labors."-New York
Sun.

Archery in a c1ty.s streets.

Archery In City's Streets.
The military students of Tung-Chou
(China) are a conspicuous nuisance.
They have way of using one OF the
main streets in the city as convent
ent spot for practicing archery, and
we have been repeatedly obliged to
edge up to the extreme of the footpath
to avoid possible eccentric. fights OF
arrows. Characteristically, it never oc-
ours to them to suspend operations
for. others safety or convenience, and
minor aecidenfs must not be uncom-
mon. A lad was brought to the hos
pital the other day who had been
struck by an arrow just below the eye
Jas he was edging along the highway.
: He was not badly hurt, and probably
regarded his injury as incidental to
the ordinary risks of travel on city

p Medal for Monument Design.
The jury in the Paris salon of 1900
has awarded the first medal to M. d.
Despradelles of Boston, professor nf
architecture and design at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology. The
subject of M. Despradelles' design is of
especial interest to Americans, being u
monument dedicated to the glory of
the American nation" and it is said to
be of grandeur Of conception and of a
daring in execution almost unparal-
leled. Its title-"The Beacon of Prog
ress"-indicates the character of the
composition, the height of which is
designed to be 1,500 feet. The artistic
presentation of this project received
the unanimous appreciation of the jury
the day Of it's admission to the salon.
and the award of the first medal
crowns labor of almost six years.
