FARMERS FRIENDS
How the County Commissioners Send
Their Money Away.
THEY REFUSE TO BURN WOOD
Fur County Olllcei, and I'u relume Coal
from Forclgu KpeculatorwA Ketorin
Movement that Take* Care
of the World'* Markets
and Starves Home
Industries.
The county commissioners arc
committing un outrage on the
farmers that they should re-
sent with vigor. There is not a busi-
ness man in this city, but that, if he
can do so at all, burns wood as fuel
rather than coal, even if it should cost
raorei in order to buy it of our own
county farmers, who bring it to town.
They also do this because the farmers
need the money, and because it keeps
it at home instead of sending it away.
Hut the county commissioners are bus-
iness men of another stripe. They are
burning coal, in the different county
offices, that they purchase of foreign ! W8S nominated by the repul. ieans of
. Lincoln countv for the onlceof probate
syndicates.
What reason have they for this'.'
Can it be that there is a take-off in it?
JUDGE MASON, OF CHANDLER.
Why He Should lie Elected K '| re*cuta-

Office of Chief of Pouck, Perky, |
<>. T., Oct. Sii.—Editor Daily State
Capital, Guthrie, O. T—Dear Sir: As |
one who has known him for a long ,
time, 1 would be pleased to have you
publish the following facts in regaid
to the Hon \V. H. Mason, republican
candidate for representative in the
Thirteenth district:
\V. H. Mason is the sou of s. s. Ma-
son, an honorably discharge Union
soldier, who served through the war in
Co. H. Third Arkan- is Infantry, and
who died in from the effect of
wounds received and disease contract-
ed during his term of service.
At the time of his father's death W.
11. Mason was but six years of age.
and his mother was very poor, but
through her untiring efforts and the
sterling qualities of the boy, lie se-
cured an education, and at the age of
eighteen, (1884) he entered the law of-
fice of Watson it Long, of Osark, Mo.
He remained with the firm three years
coming from there to Lincoln county,
(>. T., in the fall of 181*1. In the spring
of 18UJ he was elected police judge of
Chandler, O. T. In the faH of ]he

The different county officers who
use the coal say that they would
rather use wood, as it is cleaner and
easier to handle and gives them just
as much heat. The county commis-
sioners are farmers who were elected
to their positions on the kick that "the
farmer was not justly treated." Now
they, for some reason only known to
themselves, swindle the honest, needy
farmers of this county who bring wood
to sell in this city.
Farmers, is this the class of men
you want for county commissioners—
these friends of yours who send thou-
sands of dollars away to go into the
coffers of the rich syndicates in order
to take the bread away from your
mouths'.'
GOES AFTER HIM
A Democrat Shows I'p County Commis-
sioner Sturgis.
Editor State Capital: Did you see
the Representative supplement, col-
ored green with envy, and the school
proceedings backed up by E. P.
Barnes? Now, gentlemen, the repub-
lican party has never asked for any
support from Sturgis' accusers. If
the Representative and E. P. Barnes
will step into the superintendent's of-
flce they will discover that dawson
resigned prior to September 22, 1892,
and that there is a complete record of
every meeting held while he was sec-
retary. An will Mr. Vincent and his
E P Barnes please to show warrant
drawn to Mr. Slawson? The law says
"no officer of school board shall re-
ceive any pay for his services." Who
drew the order'.' Did the man—excuse
me, the ground hog—the same who
viewed the Council creek bridge one
Sunday and charged $20.20, or did
Mr. E. P. Barnes, who was noted as
being a very efficient trustee for dis-
trict No. .'I'.'
The animus is wound up. Sturgis a
citizen? Well, I should think ho!
Had to stultify himself to vent his
spleen against the only person on the
board who kept Sturgis from stealing
the whole township. Please go and
look at the books and see if any of the
leaves have been mutilated or de-
stroyed up to Slawson's resignation.
Mr. Slawson is a democrat and work-
ing for the interests of tlie democratic
party. But he is not so party blind as
to let a man like this Sturgis, who is
wholly incompetent, have the control
of the affairs of this county. Mr.
Sturgis' record is too well known in
this township (Springer). It is too
late in the day for him to crawl from
his den of slime and try and foul some
one else for the purpose of elevating
himself.
The statement in Thk State Capi-
tal is Mr. Stryker's, not Mr. Slaw-
son's.
Sturgis a reformer! Who did he
steal his claim from'.' For a reply,
ask E P. Barnes.
What did he do with the sixteen
planks belonging to the township'.'
Ask Tom Rayburn.
Who did he give #10 to for the pur-
pose of having his name brought be-
fore the convention?
Yes, he is i.i it: always has been —
for plunder.

I This place is all 'ii r. l up over the
' late discovery « f number of arms,
etc., buried during the late war. The
story of their resurrection is as follows:
A few days ago a Mr. Martin, an ex-
confederate soldie from Lynchburg,
Va., who is now L'nited states store-
hile discussing
'ockerill. an ex-
federal soldier and president of the
Kastern Kentucky Land i o.. told
him that during the war he and
others had. at the order of Oen. John
II Morgan, buried twenty-five eases
of Knticld rillcs. several hundred bay-
onets and pistols. Ami' wagon loads of
•unnon balls, five barrels of whisky
:i iid numerous other articles, such as
l ooking vessels, shovels, axes. etc. All
had been placed in a large well iso feet
deep. Col. C.Mikerill took a force of
hands next da\ and wont to work hunt-
ing for the wclL and succeeded in lo-
cating it within a tew feet of the cor-
ner stone w iere the three states. Ten-
Tlie house was a live-story brick ten-
ement, the ground tloor occupied by a
grocery and the upper stories arranged
iu front and rear apartments. There
were seven families iu the house. The
only means of exit for the people was a
stairway narrow and dark, which ran
through the center of the building. On
either side of the tenement are build-
! ingsthat tower a story above the one
: burned. In the rear of the burned
j house is a little yard twenty feet square
completely hemmed in by the tall tene-
| ments.
The tire was discovered at ! o'clock
j "by passersbv. When a policeman up-
1 pen red the door of the tenement was
opened and on the inside the tire
I glowed like a torch and the stairs were
■ iit fire. By much shouting the police
man and others aroused the sleeping
inmates, and soon there was not ;i
window iu the front of the house that
did not contain the frightened face < l
some man. woman or child, each ap-
pealing for aid. The faces iu the
windows were framed iu smoke, which
poured forth in volumes. In the ah
sencc of the firemen, w ho hil l not yet
arrived, the spectators were powerless
to assist those in the building further
than to remind them of the fire e-
capes. By these, first one woman and
then others of the tenants to the num-
ber of twenty, reached the ground, de
scending into the midst of flame and
smoke, before the ladder trucks ar-
rived.
The tlamcs whi*Started in the cellar,
did scarcely any damage to the ground
or second floors, but in the third story
they spread over the entire rear portion.
There lived the family of Nathan Fried-
man. his w ife Lena and his three young
children. There were also two board-
ers. Annie Appleblatt, ~'J. and Lena
Mitchell. M. Nathan Friedman was
first aroused by the smoke and noise.
The room in which he, his wife and
baby slept, was already filled with
smoke. Hutching the baby in his
arms, lie sprang to the window and de-
scended by the fire escape. Mrs. Fried-
man, too, rushed to a window, but not
w here the fire escape was. The escape
was but 'J feet from her. but fright de-
prived her of her reason and she leaped
from the window and fell into the rear
basement area and was badly injure I
She was conscious, however, and cried
wildly for her children, who were still
iu the burning rooms.
The fire was cxting
the water was turned
the work of rescue was prosecuted \\ itil
zeal from the instant the firemen ar-
rived on the scene, they were too late.
The Friedman children aim two board-
ers slept in the inner apartment. The
fire had not reached them, but the
smoke had tilled the room and at least
three of the o cupants were suffocated
without having awaken to their
peril. Ocorge and Levy Friedman
and Lena Mitchell were still in bed
when found and the peaceful expres-
sion of their faces showed that they
hud no knowledge of the death that
came to them so suddenly. Annie Ap-
pleblatt was lying dead on the floor.
Her face was black. She had herdre-s
and shoes on. Evidently she had been
aroused and had stopped to don her
clothing.
On the fourth floor, also in the rear,
were found the rcuiainin / victims of
the fire Mrs. Killian. a widow age I
To years: Jacob, her son. and Oeorge
Levy, her grandson. Mrs. Killian and
her son were dead iu bed. The grand-
son was on the floor, half way to the
rear window.
