CHANDLER LYNcHINo A FAKE
No Truth IN story Of Man Being
strung Up BY cattlsmen.

The Woodward News says,
Under q woodward date line of May
10 the Guthrie Daily Capital publish
ed q dispatch saying that j. L.
Chandler had been hanged by a posse
OF cattlemen who charged him with
poisoning water in order to kin cattle.
The dispatch further says that the
farmers and cattlemeh are arraigned
against each other in deadly feud and
that the settlement OF this country
has been retarded by "the negligence
Of cattlemen in trying to protect the
Mariners crop by keeping their cattle
IN hand All of which is untrue Mr.
Chandler IS a worthy and respected
citizen of Day county and is enjoying
usual health. There is no "feud' be-
tween farmers and cattlemen much
as the author Of the above dispatch
would Ike to have one exist. and both
the farmers and cattlemen unite in
settling their personal differences In
q peaceable manner and there Is no
more friction between them than may
be found in any eastern Oklahoma
county between farmers generally
The State Capital has been grossly
imposed upon by some one who eould
like TO see disturbances raised. for his
own pecuniary benefit or else for the
reason that he is a professional"
agitator and is opposed alike to the
best interests Of the cattleman and
the farmer. There is room for both
the farmer and the herdsman in this
country at present and time alone will
decide for what purpose the country
is best adapted, and no one can
change this decree. If there is any
lynehiag necessary in this country
II should be exemplided by practicing
on a few able bodied liars who seek
to create prejudice and differences be-
tween the man who raises cattle and
the man who follows the plow

LAFAYETTE.

Lafayette, November 10-(Special) J. One of the most disastrous fires this lit- tie city has ever experienced occurred this morning. The corner known as the Brick Hotel building was entirely consumed, leaving only portion of the walls stand ing. The second floor has been the lead ing hotel of the town for a number of years, and for the past three years Mrs. L. " Willy has been it's proprietor. Her furniture. valued at s1200, was almost completely destroyed The insurance Is small
 The first floor has been occupied by the firm of McGehee Driver & Co.,, who have conducted a general store. including fur niture and undertakers' supplies, for about twelve years. The larger portion of their dry goods stock was saved from the fire. but badly damaged in moving There undertaken and furniture depart ments were totally destroyed. with the exception of few pieces of furniture. A large portion of their grocery stock was destroyed Their books were saved and majority of their most valuable papers.
 Losses are estimated as follows: Dr. and Mrs. Hudson. who rented rooms in the hotel, 5000, partly insured; F. W. Emon. harness shop In rear of building loss small. no insurance; Penrey Nash cleaning and dye house. small loss, no in- surance; Andrews Brothers, building, valued at s6000, insured for $4OoO McGe- hee. Driver & Co.,. s12,0oO. largely covered by insurance
 partment of the hotel, but the exact cause Is unknown.

PLANT ROCK
astor and Congregation of Method ist Church at Odds.

Paint Rock, November 10.--(Special)-A lively row is on in the Methodist Epis- copal church which promises some sen- sational developments The two factions, composed of the Rev. Charles Wolford the pastor, and William M Gomley. the trustee, on one side, and the entire mem bership of the church on the other, met at the church yesterday afternoon osten- sibly for the purpose of bringing about harmony in the church, but the meeting was far from harmonious, and some ex- citing scenes were enacted.
 The trouble has been brought about by the pastor and trustee refusing to all low other leligious demonstrations to preach in their church, the members claiming that such action on the part of the pastor and trustee greatly flinders them in their efforts to get the building completed. As their congregation is so small they are unable to complete the church without help from outside source and they can not hope for outside help when the officers of the church act in this manner towards other religious de- nominations. It is reliably stated that the membership will withdraw from the church in a body, and an attachment will be levied on the church for its debts.

RECORDS MUST GOVERN.
President Declares That Promotions
 Will Be on Merit.

Washington, November 10.--The Presi- dent has declared to Senator Cullom, of Illinois, that in making the promotions to the brigadier generalships soon to be- come vacant, he will be governed entirely by the record; that it was his intention to promote those whose records showed them to be most deserving of promo ton, and that neither personal considera- tions or influence would count. Senator Cullom had called on account of Major Balance, and Major McClernand. The latter was General Shafters adjutant dur ing tho Santiago campaign.
 Senator Burrows, of Michigan, talk ed with the President today about finau- cial legislation. Senator Burrows is a member of the Finance Committee of the Senate and is strongly opposed at this time to any further reductions of the government income. "I do not believe, said he, that it would be wise to tinker with the revenue until we know exactly what money will be needed. If we arc to build the Nicaragua cana! and pro vide liberal amounts for the improve ment of rivers and harbors it would b, the height of folly at this time to slasf the revenue
