WHOLE BLOCK BURNS.
Anadarko Suffered Another Dis
astrous Fire Last Night.
POStOtiCe Robbed and Burned
Fire Was the Work Of Scoundrels
Who May Yet BE Captured,
and If So, May
Be Lynched.

Anadarko, our sister city on the
west, which only last week suffer
ed n disastrous FIRE, had q similar
experience this morning, when q
whole block Of business houses, in
cluding Uncle Sam's postlifice,
went upin smoke. The burned
block is the one just east Of The
court house.
tits very generally supposed
that the fire Was the work OF an
lncendiarT. The post office was
firstIbroken into and robbed, and
the thieves set fire to the building
to cove, their crime. Indignation
is running high, aud If the culprits
are caught they will surely be
roughly dealt with. The total loss
is about $4,000 with less than
60, 500 Insurance.
Among the burned stores and
places of business are the Caddo
County Times, weekly newspa-
per. Mr.. May yhsw's building, oc-
eupied by the postofiice, and
store houses and stocks Of goods
owned BY MessrF. Layton, 0. c.

The largest iadividdal loss was
the furniture store, 50 900, with

insurance. Driskell lost $500

$500.
The fire is q heavy blow to the
little town, and the fact that they
are without any fire protection
whatever can be traced directly to
the non progressive, dilalory, red
tape policy of the supreme ruler
of the twin territories, Secretary
Hitchcock.

|STAR ROUTE FRAUDS
More Than 100 Cases Unearthed
in Chickasaw Nation.
The Matter viii Be Pr0hsd
Special Inspector Has Been Iu-
vestigating and Will Make
a Voluminous Report to
the Department.

A special to the Kansas City
Tunes from Muskogee says: There
IS now being unearthed in the In
dian Territory one of the biggest
Star Route postal frauds that has
been found by the department for
a long time.
G. F. McGinnis, assistant to
the Second Assistant Postmaster
General, has been in the territory
for several weeks. He left for
Washington last night. It is said
that be will cause a stir when he
makes his report. j will involve
two or three companies in Henry
county, Missouri, two national
banks IL the same county and
more than one hundred postal
routes here. There is a company
there which has taken more thsn
one hundred mail contracts in the
Indian Territory ali of which have
been aublet, ooptraFy to law, the
Missouri company getting 85 per
cent. Of the profits and the person
with whom they deal here fifteen.
II is believed that warrants will be
issued for more than twenty per
sons in the Indian territory within
ten days and several for Missouri
Ians. Copies Of the contracts be-
tween .he Missouri firm aud the
subcontraotOrs are in the posses
sion Of the inspector.
The direct result Of the. discov.
cry of fraud will be the canceling
Of the old contracts covering the
routes from Muskogee to Lee;
Muskogee TO Bald Hill; Lee to
Stonebluff; Wagner to Choska;
Ooweta to Choska; thirteen routes
running out Of Checotah and
thirtY-6ve routes In the Ohicka-
saw nation. McGinnis says there
are more than one hundred Of
these contracts and, on some OF
them, those interested have made
q profit Of SI20 per month. New
contracts are to be advertised for
At once. II took the inspector
thirteen weeks to locate the per-
son who was supposed to have the
contracts running out Of Ada, in
the Ch'ckaeaw nation. When be
found him, he proved to be q
l17-year -old boy, This boy is said
to have been recommended By 3
national bank ct Clinton, Mo, and
was supposed to live at Calhoun.
he had never been out Of the In
dian territory. McGinnis did moi

BASEBALL FOR coNv1cTs.
Conduct of Prisoners in
Massnchusetts.

In the Massachusetts, state prison at
Charleston Warden Bridges has intro
duced ball playing as a means Of dis
cipline among the convicts and is much
gratified with the results, says a recent
report.
Not only has the game given the
prisoners relaxation from cell life and
the workshop, but it has afforded a d.
version for their minds, a breath of
fresh air and a look at the blue heav-
ems above. And not the least result Of
all is the improvement in the disci-
pine. No unruly prisoner can partic-
ipate In the game and many a man nat
uraliy fractions has been good" just
for the chance to 60 out in the prison
yard and play a game of baseball.
Next to a pardon or an expiration Of
sentence. permission to play ball or sec
a ball game is the greatest boon that
can be conferred upon any prisoner.
To be deprived Of the privilege Of being
a player or spectator is the greatest pun
ishment a prisoner al receive. He had
much rather go into Solitary than
lose a game OF ball.
The inmates have two mines, called
this year the Resolutes and the Hust-
lers, and they play every fair weather
Saturday from May to October. Every
player is a prisoner, and the umpires are
likewise inmates. The league rules are
followed strictly and the umpire il
obeyed. In fact. the absence OF kick
ing" among the Charleston prisoners
shows them in an enviable light in COM
parison with some Of the players seeE
on the league grounds. The two teams
play for championship honors. and
every game is written up" for the
prison paper, the Mentor.
Ground rules naturally prevail, owing
to the smallness of the prison yard, but
there is room enough for 200 spectators,
all prisoners. Some have seats and
others who stand are called sthe

just as much zeal, -earnestness. On.

ONE OF THE HEROES.

lI --a.ELa. .U.a lr-IfL". ~
Here is a song of a hero:
He is one of the many whose names
Are not and never will be written
On the scroll we refer to as Fame's;
He has rushed, cheering, to battle,
He has never plunged into the wave
To rescue a child or a woman.
Yet he ought to be named with the
brave;
Each night he goes home to a scolding,
To hear the old story again
OF the talent he lacks and his failure
To claim the attention of men.
Each morning he goes to his duties
Sui striving to win and still proud,
Still waiting for Fate to permit him
Some day to work up from the crowd:
Each day he goes patiently toiling
And signing alone. if he signs
His sorrows are his and his only:
Hope still is agleam in his eyes;
In sDite of the wearisome scolding
And grumbling he goes to at night,
He faces the world in the morning
As though all his dreams had been
bright.
With never a mortal to praise him
For what he has done or has tried,
He still has an honest ambition
And still in his breast he has pride.
With never the hope of receiving
Approval at home he can still,
With his sorrows all carefully hidden,
Toll on with a conqueror's will;
So here is a song of a hero,
But one of the many whose names
Are not and will never be written
On the scroll we refer to as Fame's.

JOHN wEsLEY's INFLUENCE.
His Personal Power Was
Used With singular Wisdom
and Liberality.

Even upon the manners of the Eng
fish people no man of his century had
so much influence. 1t was peculiarly
fortunate that the leader of a great
popular movement united with intense
religious earnestness the tastes Of the
scholar and the instincts of the gem
tleman, writes G. T. Winchester in
"Wesley's Days of Triumph" in the
Century. He never felt it necessary to
vulgarize his teaching or to make any
concessions to coarseness. In his spot
less linen, his cossack, his black hose
and silver shoe buckles, he was a
model of scrupulous precision in per-
sonal attire; and his oft-quoted say
ing, Cleanliness is next to Godliness,"
we'll expresses the almost fastidious
habit of the man. His dignifed, yet
gentle courtesy, his refined self-posses-
sion, made his very presence an ex-
ample and an inspiration. ,
And it should be said that Wesley
used his immense personal influence
with singular wisdom and liberality.
He had in his hands control of the
whole system Of Methodist discipline:
but he did not attempt to bind the
members Of his societies by narrow or
rigid rules, still less to impose upon
them arbitrarily his own judgments.
He was anxious only that Methodists
should be good Christians. On doubt
full matters he did not prescribe or pro-
MIbit, but left the decision in such cases
where it belongs-with the individual
conscience. In IN admirable sermon
on amusements, after admitting that
much may be said for the drama-he
was a lover Of dramatic literature him
self. and used to advise his preachers
to read plays that they might cultivate
q natural mode of speech-he decides
that, for himself, he could not 20 to
the theater or play at cards with a
clear conscience; but he adds: aPos-
sibly others can: / am MOI Obliged Ia
pass any sentence on them that are
otherwise minded; I leave them to
their own Master; to Him let them
standsor fall" His successors have NOT
always been so wise.
