had reached the capital city that the

FLEECED RICH MEN.
Band of Blackmailers Posed as
Nihilists.

NEW YORK, NOV. 15.-AS a result
of the arrest of William Becker, a
ships carpenter on board the steam
ship Americas, accused of being one of
the Russian nihilists'' who for weeks
have annoyed prominent millionaires
and bankers in this and other cities by
writing threatening letters, the police
have eXtorted a confession that has
put them on the trail of the boIdest
gang of blackmailers that ever operat-
ed in this country
The man Becker, who is not a nihi,
list, made a confession, in which he i'm
plicated i've men and gave their
names. Scores of detectives have been
turned loose from police headquarters
and are now ACQUIRING this and adjoin-
ing cities in search of the leaders of
this band
At first the police thought that the
writers of supposed nihilistic letters to
j. p. Morgan, John w. Gates and other
millionaires were written by some mad
cranks, but from the startling revela-
tons made by the prisoner Baker they
have learned that the writer's Of these
letters are some of the most famous
criminals in the United States and that
they have been operating successfully
and collecting fortunes in blackmail
for months
Had these men been content to CON
fine themselves to the smaller fry,
whom they frightened with their blood
curdling epistles into turning over
small sums of money, they might have
continued their Vaccinations indef-
nitely; but, emboldened by their sue
cess, they thought that they could
brighten such men as Morgan, the Van
derbilts and John w. Gates into dis
gorging to them great sums.
All of the letters which are now in
the hands of the police are signed with
five names, purporting to be the sigma
lures of desperate Russian nihilists.
They are fictitious, and the real names
of the leaders of the gang are now in
the possession of the police.
According to the confession made by
this man Becker, the gang has operat-
ed in most all of the large cities of the
Union, and the police here have now
corroboration of this statement in let
tiers received from many cities in the
country.
Death or lifelong insanity through
the agency of subtle poison was the
penalty named in their matchmaking
letters for failure to send $1,000 to sc.

Indians are preparing to petition
congress for dissolution of tribal
relations. This will open up to

A Church Organized.

Rev. L. B. Parker, territorial
missionary, assisted in organiz-
ing a Congregational church, and
will be with the brethren again
on Sunday Nov. 80. This we re-
gard as one of the most impor-
tant events that has occurred in
this town. A movement is al
ready started to build a house OF

A church is important in build
ing up of any community. We
hope to see the new organization

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Meeting Tomorrow Night at Pro
bate Court Room.
From MONDAYS Daily. Z.

From Mondays Daily.
1t is TO the interest of every
man in Anadarko to attend this
meeting. Everyone should be
interested in the welfare of our
city, and there is no way you can
do more good than through the
Commercial Club. BY united
effort we can induce manufactur-
ers to locate here. We can in
duce trade to come here by i'm
proving the wagon roads leading
into our city. We can and must
get two more railroads here.
These things can be accomplish
ed if we have a good Commercial
Club. A Commercial Club is to a
city what the heart is to the body,
and as the physical welfare of
the human body depends upon
the proper action ofthis organ, so
the business life of city depends
in a great measure upon the ener-
gy of the Commercial Club. This
being the case, it behooves every
person who intends to make Ana
darko his home, to attend this
meeting.
If we have a good Commercial
Club, we must have good busi-
ness man for president of the club
There are several prominent busi-
ness men mentioned for this place,
any one of whom would make a
good president. If the business
men here will assist him in every
way they can; this we must do
The Democrat wants to see the
bankers, lrwyers, doctors, drug
gists, saloon keepers, dry goods
grocery and hardware merchants
hotel keepers and restausant men
different manufacturers, whole
sale and retail men, in fact every
man that has one dollar invested
in our city sheuld be there. Don
forget the time and place, Tues

"Leetle Deacon" Wellman is
a dismal failure as postmaster
at Hydro. He would likely be
better qualified to umpire a cat
fight in some back alley, or sup
erintend pesnut stand on the
sidewalk, or he might make a
good dummy to stand in front of
a Jew store to hang mis-fit cloth
ing on, but he is absolutely no
good for postmaster, and he
don't seem to care a tinkers dam
how the mails are handled.-Hy-
dro Standard.
The editor of the Standard is
evidently not pleased with the
postal service at Hydro. AT any
rate he is not afraid to express
his opinion on the subject. We
have observed that it is getting
to be the proper caper to "speak
right out in meeting" when a
public office is notproperly hand
led.

Demand for Greater MIX Supply

Oklahoma in general, Anadarko
in particular, is veritably a land
flowing with milk and honey.
Abundant in rains, glorious in
sunshine, blessed with magnifi- =
cent crops, what more can we ask
or want? Milk. Our present
supply is wholly inadequate to
meet the demand. There is am
pie custom for an additional dairy
in town, at once. In such a
country as this the milk supply
should not only be bountiful, but
reasonable in price.

Anadarko is getting a hard
name on account of her toler-
ance of gamblers and toughs,
who daily engage in brawls and
fights.-Hobart News Repubh-
can.
Anadarko is conceded by all
to be one of Oklahoma's fairest
cities, and has gained a wide
spread reputation for energy and
progressiveness, but what will
this avail her, if articles similar
to the above are frequently seen
in the leading papers of neigh
boring cities? 1t is up to the
business men and property own
er of this city to take effective
steps topard securing a strict en-
forcement of the law upon all ac-
casions. We would all be glad
to see Anadarko double her pop
ulation in the next year, but if
this is accomplished some of the
inducements whicn must be offer
ed prospective investors are an
assurance that all lawbreakers
whatever their offense, will be
punished, and that all resorts
which are a menance to the peace
and happiness of our citizens,
will be suppressed. bad news
travels fast" but the good news
that Anadarko is a peaceful,
progressive, lawabiding city, will
travel just as rapidly, and soon
reach the ears of those at dis
tance, who have desired to come
to our city, but have hesitated on
account of the lawlessness which
has been allowed to exist.
L. o. Enochs of Guthrie, Terri
torial Oil Inspector who has been
in the city on business, several
days, left this morning on the

glad there is an oil inspector for

sures us a good grade of oil, and
this is an article which should
always be the very best obtain
able.

A Texan Would Not Do,

In challenging a jury today,
to try a negro, the following
question was asked each man,
"where are you from?" If the
answer was "From Texas" his
name was Immediately scratched
off. The object was not to dis
criminate against the former
residents of that particular state
but to give the prisoner fair
and impartial trial, as it is the
prevalent opinion that a negro,
whatever his offense, would get
no quarter were the jury to be
composed ofTexans. 1t is a well
known fact that inhabitants of
the Southern states, are, as a
rule, very strict in the handling
of such offenders against the law,
and under the circumstances,
counsel for a negro prisoner has
a right to see that great care is
exercised in selecting an impair
tial jury, but our experience has
been that, as a general thing, the
gentleman from Texas is very
fair minded, conscientious indi-
