trous fire occurred ut this place on
Thursday evening, February 25th.
Several business houses in the heart
of the city on Front street, together
with their entire stock, were consumed
by the flames. The building known as
the Koop block, owned by Mrs. E.
Koop. and containing the dry goods
store of Mrs. L. M. Koop, the clothing
store of zimmerman Bros, the candy
kitchen of L. Holman and the barber
shop Of J. III. Williver, were the first
to go. Then followed the millinery es-
Enlistment of Mrs. Grandelmey,
which was also burned to the ground.
In addition to these, the Cole block on

needed it badly, for the new house
gives them larger facilities for comfort
and study, as well as opportunities
for growth. The building is a most
beautiful structure, and is admired for
its artistic architectural lines as well
as for its historical associations
The old mission style of building so
closely connected with the old Spanish
missions in California is the prevail
ing type, and the use of this style of
architecture ties together the original
heroic missionary endeavor and this
newer movement for the conversion of
nom Catholics.
The religious sisterfoods of the coun-
try have taken up with enthusiasm
the furnishing of the rooms for the
young missionaries, and almost with
out exception they have each donated
$50 to provide the simple necessities
for Il priest students room.
Immediately after Easter a confer
ence of all the missionaries to non
Catholics will assemble at the Mission
House. and for an entire week they
will read and discuss carefully pre-
pared papers on different phases of the
work. This conference will begin on
April 6 and will last until April At,
ON which day the new house will be
dedicated by the cardinal and the as
sembled archbishops of the country.
All the religious orders of missionaries
have been invited to send representa-
tlves to the conference, and there will
be some lay delegates also.

ingalls,. o. II, Feb. 2s.-One of the most
daring hold-ups that has ever been
known in this part Of Oklahoma took
place south Of here last Saturday even
ing. A stranger came into town and en-
quired for a liveryman. He did not give
any name but said he wanted to be taken
to a point four miles south of Stillwa-
ter. Joe Well.ger the only liveryman
in town, hitched up his team and started
with the man. The stranger told Mr..
Welliver that he had no money but could
pya him when they reached their destina-
ton.
It was pitch dark when they started
and when they got to where the stranger
wanted to go he drew revolver from
his pocket and commander Mr.. Welliver
to throw UP his hands, and then he or
dered him ii give him all the money he
had which was only s11. AS an act of
courtesy the stranger returned Mr.. Well
iver one dollar of the money which he
said he might need before he got home
When Mr.. Welliver reached home he
found that he had been driving around
with a criminal who had broken Jail just
a few days prior to this at Newkirk and
that a reward of s25 was offered for his
capture. 1t was also known afterwards
that the strangers picture was in the
hands of the Anti-horse Thief Associa-
ton and that a close watch was kept for
him. Mr.. Welliver feels rather aggrieved
about the way be was treated, but did
not even put the officers after the high

COURSE OF STUDY.
II Should Be Uniform Throughout In
dian Territory.

Guthrie. o. r, Feb. 29.-The teachers
of the Indian territory have decided that
there should be uniform course of study
in all the schools of the territory and
looking to that result have appointed a
committee Of ten representative teachers
to formulate plan of action that will
get results. At the last meeting OF the
territorial association the need OF a uni
form course Of study was pointed out.
1t is almost certain that a school sys-
tenn viii be established soon and then
the need of a uniform course will be i'm
perative At present there are the nation
al schools OF each of the five natisns.
Each has a course os study independent
Of all others The public schools in the
towns have no uniform course and there
is no uniformity Of curriculums in the big
private and denominational schools. John
u. Benedict. superintendent Of schools
for the territory. says that if there is a
public school system established for white
children in country schools. ii will be an
absolute necessity to have an accepted
course Of study.

CAPITOL HILL AMBITIOUS.
Suburb of Oklahoma City Would In.
corporate by Itself.

Oklahoma City, o. T., Feb. 29.-The oiti-
zens of Capitol Hill. Oklahoma City's
most important and populous suburb. are
preparing a petition to be presented to
the county commissioners asking an cleo
ton to be called to allow the peopel to
vote on the question of Incorporating as
a town.
The necessary surveys have been made
and a census taken which reveal sthe
fact that Capitol Hill has now 722 in
habitants.
The movement for Incorporation is
meeting with very little opposition from
the residents especially in view of the
fact that it is itnended to create q town
independent of the city, and will be
known as Capitol Hill.
The citizens residing south of the river
realizing thatb becoming an incorpor-
ated town they will be N a position to
secure tax funds for the Improvement
OF streets
The south side residents are becoming
quite ambitious and will shortly petition
the Santa Fe railway company TO make
that point a station and put in side
tracks In addition to this. a regular
hack line is TO be established between
Capitol hill and the city until such time
as an interurban electric line can be Sc
cured.
Capitol Hill now has a number of bust
ness houses and many pretentious resi-
dences are being built The $4,000 aca-
denny which is being built by the Sisters
of Mercy is also giving that suburb a
boom and it now seems reasonable 70 eX-
pect that a town of considerable import
ance will be rapidly developed.

WICHITA BRIDGE COMPANY.
Il Gets the Contract for Forty-seven
BRIDGES.

Guthrie. O T, Feb. 29.-The Wichita
bridge and Iron company made the low
est hid for Logan county's big bridge
contract and expect TO receive the con-
tract TO furnish the iron for forty-seven
bridges in the county.
George II. Bradford, the agent for the
Wichita company. met the agents OF all
the big bridge companies IN The United
States and demonstrated that the little
advantage in freights which his company
enjoyed enabled him To furnish iron
bridges TO oklahoma a little bit cheaper
than any other company The Rochester
Bridge company OF Rochester. Ind. came
under the wire second and only $loo
above the Wichita company.
Tho county commissioners are starting
out TO have some good bridges in this
county. and when these forty-sevent iron
structures are in place they will prove
q great benefit to The people of the coun-
ty. The contract is not for building the
bridges but for the delivery or the iron
at Guthrie on the cars with all freights
added
The bid of the Wichita Bridge company
was sl42SS It is a pretty good contract.
and that Is the reason that twenty-seven
bridge companies had their agents in
Guthrie today. The forty-seven bridges.
II all put up together. would make one
immense iron bridge 2.S6s feet long. The
work of building the abutmenls and the
putting together Of all these bridges viii
b done by home people.
The people all over the county favor
good roads and bridges and advancement

has been getting new railroads and the
city is threatened with a boom. The

reminding them that this is his twelfth
birth day.
1t seemed little strange to the judges
friends that he was filing such an i'm

ing his twelfth birth day but after
little thought people would figure out that
he was born on the twenty-ninth day OF
February and that it only comes once in

Judge Burford has filled his honorable
position has endeared him to the whole
people OF Oklahoma and they viii wish
