PLOSION-OFFICIALS SIT AND
WATCH CLOCK.

Pontoise, France Dec. IA well
dressed man gave a letter to the door
keeper at the palace of justice here
yesterday. The letter was addressed
to the government prosecuting attor-
ney and said that unless a group Of
anarchists whose trial began yester-
day Were released by l o'clock this af-
ternoon the palace Of justice would be
blown up.
Palace Under Guard.
In consequence of this menace, num-
erous police agents guarded the palace
throughout the night, and today they
examined the papers Of every person
approaching the court, including those
who were admitted.
The suspected anarchists, who are
Russians, were arrested before the
war On a charge Of alleged conspiracy.
One Of the prisoners attempted to

some attractive circulars printed, and
his names. After a while
he had a complete mail-order list of
satisfied customers. People found
they could get goods right at home,
practically, for the same money they
could buy them for in the large cities
and the goods came quicker. There

were no waits, no broken packages

acknowledgement proved to them
that he had a mail-order house right
at their doors that could deliver the
goods as cheaply and quicker than the
catalog houses. And the "amnonthe-
ground" got the business. The lesson
in this little fable is quite plain to ev-

business methods, hustle and stick-to-
~itiveness. With every advantage on
his side he can hold up and increase
his business. All the "manonthe-

DATlON OF AUDITORS, WHO RE-
GENTLY FINISHED WORK ON
ClTY'S BOOKS.

AS soon as the new books arrive
the city government will &c on an.
other system of bookkeeping which
will eliminate the necessity of EN-.
ploying auditors in future, for the rea-
son that everything will be brought
down to date at the close of each
days business, and every taxpayer,
at a glance, can see just what the
financial condition of the city is.
w. S. Forrest, the city bookkeepar,
has been in Oklahoma city for several
days, familiarizing himself with the
system, and he states that when he
has the new books opened and all
accounts transferred from the old
books, it will be very much easier to
do the work, besides having every
balance where it can be seen at
glance.

MORE HOTEL
TALK IS BEING
INDUCED IN
THAT STOCK COM.
PANY MAY BUILD TEN-STORY
AFFAIR AT CORNER OF MAIN
AND c STREETS.

There was a quiet little rumor on
the streets this morning that a stock
company might be organized and a
ten-story hotel building erected at tho
corner of West Main and c street,
where the old skating rink formerly
stood.
The party who gave this informa,
ton requested that his name not he
used at present, but mentioned sev
eral prominent business men who
were interested in the deal, and If
the scheme materializes promises %
give the city a hotel the equal, if
not superior, to the Kingkade in
Oklahoma City.
Our informant stated, however,
that the matter had only been talkel
over in an informal way, but those
who are interested in the deal are
confident something tangible will
result within a few days.

OKLAHOMA COT
4 RAW DEAL
At DENVER
SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARDED
FIRST OF THE STATE EXHIBITS
BUT FOR ACTIVITY OF "NATlVE
SONS" AMONG THE JUDGES.

f. X. West returned from Denver
yesterday where he has been for the
past three weeks in charge of the Ok
lahoma exhibit at the international
dry-farming congress. Kansas was
awarded the first place over the pro-
test of nearly all of the other exhib-
itors, who were practically unanimous
that Oklahoma was entitled to that
honor by a large margin. However,
most of the officials were from Kansas
and there was nothing to it; they as
native sons could see nothing but Kan
sas, and the big cup went to them
selves. The pictures of the exhibit
on exhibition at the rooms of the cham
Der of commerce are silent witnesses
to the fact that Kansas was not en-
titled to as good as fourth place and
at a meeting of exhibitors held after
the awards were. made, protests were
filed and some warm arguments pre-

agement was changed, and the rules
governing the Judging of exhibits rigid
ly adhered to. The next meeting will
be held either at Kansas City or St.
Joseph, the place has not been def
nitely decided upon as yet, but unless
a majority of the states are assured
that they will not have to bow to the
whims of the Kansas officials, there
will be noticeable falling off in the
of exhibits.
Kansas was awarded first. Nebraska |
second, and Oklahoma third. The COM

4 HUGE TASK
CONF FR0NTS TIKI:
COMM 7 TEE
MERCHANTS FROM OTHER CITIES
WILL PASS JUDGMENT UPoNEx-
PLoSloN LOSSES OF ARDMoRE
BUSINESS CONCERNS.

The committee of citizens which has
undertaken to make settlement for the
people with the Santa Fe people, has
a huge undertaking. The settlement
of merchandise losses will require
much attention, and men from other
cities have been brought here by the
committee to pass on damages of this
character. w. p. Westfall of the West
fall Drug Company of Oklahoma City,
is here inspecting stocks of drugs that
were damaged in the explosion r. b.
Halliburton of the Scott-Halliburton
Dry Goods Company of Oklahoma City
is inspecting damaged stocks of dry
goods; W. J. Pettee of Oklahoma City,
a pioneer hardware man will inspect
the stocks of hardware which have suf-
fered loss, and J. E. Looney of Tisho-
mingo, a wholesale grocer, has been
employed to inspect the loss on stocks
of groceries. The persons mentioned
here have come in the interest of the
committee. A building superintendent
and architect of Dallas has been en-
gagged to calculate the losses on build
ings in the explosion zone, and the
committee will have the advantage
of his knowledge of the cost of the
construction of the buildings which
have been ruined and also those which
have been damaged
Besides those who have been
brought here by the committee, the
railway people have also had some per-
sons familiar with merchandise stocks
to estimate for them the losses. Sidney
l.. Brock of Oklahoma City has spent
some time here in the interest of the
railway people. Mr. Brock is one of
the big dry goods men of the state.
One of the visiting merchants said,
the merchants would present claims
for business loss due TO the disaster.
He said that he would not be required
to pass upon losses of this nature.
That he understood the committee
would pass judgmnt upon this class Of
loss separate from actual damages
The merchant speaking said, a fire
insurance company paid losses with
out considering the period of time
which the loser was kept out of busi-
ness, but he did not know what atti.
.ude the committee would taken on
his character of loss.

UNION DEPOT
IS LIVE TOPIC
ATPRESENT
SIZE AND LOCATION is CAUSE
OF CONSIDERABLE SPEcULA.
TION MAY BE MOVED FUR
THEIR NORTH.

There is a growing interest among
the citizens, who wish to know jIst
what kind of union depot will he
erected by the railroads here to re-
is convinced that the Santa Fe will
build one adequate to the needs of
the city for many years to come.
While it has not been given out
officially, it has been rumored that
the new depot will be situated some
what further north than the present
structure, with platform sheds ex.
tending from Main to Broadway, upon
either side of the main building.
Such an arrangement would elimi.
nate the necessity of trains standing
across the crossing at Main street,
which is often necessary at present,
especially those from the south, be-
sides many other features that es-
pecially appeal to those who would
like to see the depot at the foot of
Broadway.
There was talk some time ago of
building there, but a question was
raised about opening up Broadway
east OF the tracks at the time, and
was ever done in the matter
As the chances for ever opening
Broadway east of the tracks are very
remote indeed, perhaps the main
building of the new station will be
located at Broadway. However, the |
are betting, in view of the
attitude of the Santa Fe, that they |
will do the right thing about the SIZE
and location of the new depot.

Posse Finds ParOIed Prisoner Hid

Huntingdon. Pa, Jan. Harmed farm
ers. headed by Sheriff H E. Wilson, to-
Day captured Adam Snyder, aged twenty,
who, it is alleged. murdered Mrs. Rebecca
Port, twenty-six years old, wife of a
prominent farmer near Neff's mills, yes
terday afternoon.
Plummer Port, husband of the woman,
mad gone to town, leaving Snyder, who
was employed on the farm as a paroled
prisoner Of the Huntingdon Reformatory,
alone with his wife.
When Port returned home he was
passed in one of the fields by Snyder
Entering his home, he found a pool OF
blood on the kitchen floor. A train OF
blood led the farmer to the cellar, where
he found his wife's body. The woman's
throat had been cut from ear to ear and
the body concealed under a potato box.
Snyder was captured at Barre, seven
miles from the scene of the murder. He
had broken into a public schoolhouse to
hide from his pursuers and was too much
exhausted to offer serious resistance.
