SUICIDE BY AGREEMENT.
Letter Found in Dead Mans Pocket Points to Existence of a
 Suicide Club

Chicago, June 2.-A letter found in the possession of l.. Wachman, a travelling salesman, who committed suicide in a North Clark street saloon early yesterday, leads to the belief that he was a member of a New York suicide club. From passages in the letter it is thought another member of the club committed suicide in New York last week.
 Wachman fell dead while being served with a glass of beer Physi- clans who examined the body de- clared it was a case of poisoning A bottle of poison bearing the name of drug store in a small town in Cali fornia was found in Wachman's pocket.
 The letter which leads to the theory that the suicide was a premeditated affair was from T. Wulff, of New York, dated May 25. The missive was written in German, and was poorly spelled. From such parts of it, how ever, as could be understood, 1t was gathered that Wulff and Wachman were members of an organization the members of which pledged them selves to end their lives. One of the passages read:
 "Will commit suicide at once, and I am sorry that we can not be to- gether and end it. I had thought that we could do this best together"
 Wultf also says that he has left a note under the door of 'No. 2O2 - - - street." The name of the street is not given, but it is believed oy the police authorities that the place mentioned may be the head quarters of the suicide club. The New York authorities have been asked to investigate the matter.

Anadarko Today.

As we gaze upon this city.
Nesting by the river side.
And we see how she has prospered.
Do you marvel at our prideS
All around are signs of progress
Railroads glisten in the sun;
Keenedged axes fell the timberS.
Orchards have from hillsides sprung;
Churches rear their spires toward Heaven,
And the merry school bells ring.
Deep within the shady Woodland
Dreaming birds their carols sing.
Out upon the fertile prairie
Can be seen the settlers home;
Ger the verdant slopng hillsides.
Untamed herds no longer roam
Nesting now twixt hills and river.
Thriving cities can he seen;
Eou may catch the CLINT of plowShareS
Ger the praireS fresh and green.
Kissed by gentle. perfumed zephyrs
Laughing under summer skies.
All the land is glad and happy.
Homes as il by magic rise
On thee may all rich blessing rest.
May you with health and wealth be blest,
Anadarko, Queen City OF the Southwest!
