Not One of Them at CONNER

There WAS not a single Chickasha
merchant present as the meeting
OF the Commercial Club held yes.
ierday afternoon at four O'Clock at
the Mayors Office. called several
days ago by the president to con-
slider matters of grave importance
to the city aud its future growth.
The excuse cannot be made that
the meeting was insufiiciently al
vertised, for both the Chickasha
papers have been carrying a notice
oft for the past three or four days
Special invitations were also given
20 several prominent merchants,
who were personally visited by
officers Of the Commercial Clnb
and urged to be present. But for
unexplained reasons they did not
attend, and the members who
were present were forced to trans
act the business without them.

mtfcial fu'ure OF the towa1 From

street fair aud carnival, less than a
month of, aud not one thing done
not even the commencement Of a
start made towards getting things
IN readiness for it. The meeting
of the Commercial club yesterday
Was for the especial purpose OF
looking after the arrangements for
the street fair, but as the mer-
chants are the ones most interested,
and none Of them we're present,
little Of importance was done.
Tue meeting was called to order
by President H. B. johnson, and
a letter from Independence, Kas
regarding the proposition to locate
a cotton mill here was read, the
projectors asking SIS 900 bonus
$1,000 to be placed in the banks
and the balance to go into the
building. After discussion by
those present the secretary was
authorized to offer a building site
but no money bonus.
Then followed a discussion OF
important railroad matters, which
are not as yet to be made public

Pendleton, escorted by his charro
friend, Pancho. was again on the road
returning to his place Of Imprisonment.
That they arrived without incident
and therefore undiscovered was due
doubtless to the management Of the

that Pendleton composed himself to the
luxury Of rest when be was again alone

CONGREssMEN's PALACES.
Gorgeous Homes of Wealthy Repre-
sentatives and Senator's.

Gorgeous Homes of Wealthy Repre-
sentatfves and Senator's.
There Is probably a greater number
of rich men in the new congress than
have been found in any previous edi-
ton of that legislative body. Though
by no means a "millionarles' club"
the senate has a large minority OF
very wealthy members, while in the
house of representatives there Is
sprinkling of undeniable plutocrats.
Scattered all over the fashionable
northwest section of Washington are
beautiful residences owned and occu-
pied by ongressmen-mostly senator's,
though a few of the finest belong to
representatives, such as Hit, OF Illi-
nois. and Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania.
They are veritable palaces, furnished
in the height Of magnificence, and US
ually with superb stables attached.
Nothing more costly than these legis-
lators' mansions. indeed, can be found
anywhere in this country, outside of
New York.
The most beautiful Of all the sena-
torial palaces in the capital city Is
owned by Eugene Hale, Of Maine. on
the northeast corner of 18th and X
streets. It is built in the old Colonial
style, somewhat modified to meet mod
ern requirements. The senator obtain
ed the bulk Of his fortune with his
wife, who is a daughter of Zach Chan
dler, and it is probable that he is worth
"a, ,0OO, 900 or s5,O00000. A bon vivant of
the first water he enjoys the good
things of life in an unusual degree and
does a great deal of entertaining.
Among the foremost in point of
wealth comes James Mcmillan, Of
Michigan. who has a fortune of at
least s25, 900, 000 most of it accumulated
in the building Of railroad cars. How
ever, Mcmillan, who began life poor,
is interested in a multitude Of corpor-
ate enterprises. He gives much in
charity, is conspicuous socially, and
owns a very large and handsome dwell
ling on Vermont avenue, near Thomas
Circle.
The ablest business man in the upper
house, as most people admit, is Marcus
A. Hanna, who has more irons in the
fire than any other man in congress.
Outside of his enormous iron and coal
interests he owns lines of lake steam
boats, hotels, an opera house and good
ness knows what else. If it is supposed
that he is worth $15,OOO,00O the guess
will certainly not overshoot the mark.
When he came to Washington he rent

ceptance Of such an offer, my friend.
What are they? 1 agree to them in ad-

time for all that is required even If you
should wish to send me to the city be-
fore the hour for the meeting. If you
agree to the conditions, I will accept
your word. and we will start at once"
81 have already agreed to them with
out hearing them. Let me know them
quickly, since you insist upon 1t"
"As soon as we are under the shelter
Of the trees 1 will blindfold you. You
are not to attempt to see anything, nor
can you remove the bandage from your
eyes until l grant permission. You
must promise not to 60 to the city and
to make no attempt to see or to speak
to any person except those who are en-
gagged in this affair, and to them you
must not explain any Of the circum'
stances. If it Is necessary to send me
to the city to communicate with your
second or another, you will wait at our
place of parting until l return. After
the duello there will still be time to re-
turn here without discovery, and you
must submit to the bandage again, do
exactly as I direct and resume your
place in this room as If you had not
been absent. And there is one other
point where I depend entirely upon
your honor, senor. 1t may be that we
will meet people on the road on our
return. You must remember that it
will then be daylight. In such case
I would be obliged to remove the band
age from your eyes until we have pass
ed, but l hope such an event may be
avoided, but If 1t should occur we will
remain motionless until I can replace
the bandage. One more thing and the
last-you will promise never to recog-
nize me after tonight either by name
or by sight. and that you will never at
tempt through me to seek out the iden-
tity Of the lady who has caused you to
be imprisoned. If you agree to all.
these conditions, senor. we need not
delay"
II can think of only one reservation,
my friend, and that concerns the re-
turn here. If am alive and able to
sit on horse, l will do as you say, but
it Is quite likely that may not be able
to return with you at all. In that case
you will be in trouble"

1t Is not necessary to describe the
escape from the house and grounds
more than to add that it was accom-
plished without incident. By half after
/ o'clock the two men were on the road
together, each astride horse, though
Pendleton's eyes were tightly bandag-
u.
to endeavor through his knowledge OF
the topography Of the country to locate
himself, and his companion seemed to
realize this, for he talked constantly so
that the American would have no op-
portunity for logical conjecture. The
horses were soon put to canter also,
which rendered the task still more diff
flcult.
81 wish you would tell me why you
were so good as to do all this for me-"
Pendleton said as soon as an opportu-
nifty offered.
81 will tell you the truth. senor," was
the calm reply. "There are several rea-
sons. l might have decided to act be-
cause of any one Of them, but because
of all Of them l could not hesitate.
First, then, l know about you and your
mission in this country. realized full
ly the unfortunate circumstances in
which you were placed, and l know
that you would have not one but a
dozen duels on your hands in less than
two days If you could find anybody
who would fight you after failure to
meet Romero. From such dishonor l
desired to save you, because If the po-
sitions were reversed would be glad
to have somebody do the same for me.

'Attcncion, uno, dos, tres! Romero's
practice is to touch the trigger when
the It is sounded; he does not wait for
the end of the word. If you will do the
same, bueno. There Is one more reason,
which you may not approve. 1t Is that
hate Romero and would rejoice to see
him killed. 1 also believe that you will
kill him. He once committed great
