When Light ls Thrown Upon Dealings
With Indians.


With Indians.
President Roosevelt has taken per-
sonal interest in the charges Of fraud
and corruption which are said to have
occurred in connection WITH the af-
fairs of the five civilized tribes in the
Indian territory. But for his interfer-
ence indictments against several par
ties alleged to have been engaged in
illegal practices would have been
quashed. Now, however, under his
orders the interior department is
pushing it's investigations with in.
creased vigor, and it is reliably stated
that in the near future a number of
new indictments will be reported, not
only against several men already In
dicted, but they will include a number
of persons whose names have not
heretofore been brought into the case,
including high government official
in Washington.
1t is known that Secretary Hitch
cock has submitted to the president
and Attorney General Moody special
report dealing with the whole situa
ton which gives such details as to
make it imperative for the go---ernment
to act. For obvious reasons the re
port for the present at least will not
be made public, but Secretary Hitch
cock characterizes the disclosures il
makes as Startling"

100000 DAMAGE,

Six of the largest and most valuable
business blocks in the financial dis

by fire Sunday. For several hours the
fire threatened to entirely wipe out
the city and but for fortunate shift
in the wind, which aided the fire

likely that the entire business section
would have been demolished. AS it is,
the damage is placed at 100000, with
but fractional insurance.

A Big Barn Burned.

Tuesday night about twelve
o'clock the big barn belonging to
j. Wesley Brown, who lives just
east of the city on the Ellinwood
road was entirely destroyed by
fire.
The roof of the partly burned
building falling in was what at
tracted the attention of the people
at the house, so that it was impos-
sible to get anything out. One
horse was burned to death and a
couple more injured. but the larg-
er part of the stock had been
turned out in the pasture on &C.
count of not having any hay in
the barn.
There was about six hundred
bushels of corn destroyed along
with thirteen sets of work har-
ness. a saddle, a corr sheller. a
tanning mill and a lot of the var
ious parts of harvesting machinery
stored in the barn.
Some of the harness, the saddle
and the horse that was burned be-
longed to Ed Sands. and two other
men who were farming part of
the place also lost some of the
harness and other stuff. We un-
derstand that there was some in.
surance on the building, but none
on the contents. and the loss will
be q heavy one.

GOOD ROADS and RURAL MAIL.

1t is announced that the govern.
ment will look more carefully to
the enforcement of its rule regard
ing the roads over which rural
free delivery is established. The
present requirement is: Roads
traversed shall be kept in good
condition and unobstructed by
gates; there must be no unbridged
creeks or streams not fordabIe at
any season of the year." In
many cases the residents along
proposed routes have made i'm.
provements that enable them to
obtain rural delivery service, but
sometimes the efforts to keep up
the roads are relaxed. But the
government has decided that un.
less the roads tlaversed by the
carriers are properly maintained
the service will be withdrawn.
The Postoffice Department now
calls on the carriers for reports
on the roads. and will stop the
service where the highways in
question are bad.
The 1887 rural delivery car
riers now employed cover $685.
miles daily, and it is unreason-
able to expect them to contend
with neglected roads, or to work
for communities lacking the en-
terprise to keep their common
highways in decent shape.
Wherever a route is discontinued
the inhabitants themselves will be
to blame for it, for if alive to their
own interests and their duty to
the public they would give their
roads vigorous and constant at
tention. The idea that a route
once authorized is necessarily
permanent is a mistake. Advice
on the best road method is sup
piled by the Agricultural Depart
ment, and a neighborhood that
loses its rural delivery must itself
bear the discredit for so unpleas-
ant and humiliating an event.
