piled from the Daily Saying:
Shortly after II o'clicit Satur-
day night people i i t!ie restnu-
rants along Main street heard
the familiar pistol shots; a mom-
ent later the clang of the new
tire bell. They rushed out into
the street and looked quickly
either way. From the upper
front window of the St. Charles
hotel there rolled an immense
black volume of smoke. I i the
tliic'.ionod aid murky ai.'
the damp night it seem d like
some great, silent tornado cloud,
se ominously, git heavily it mov-
ed and turtle.I and rolled i:i the
moist ure laden dark.

An ala m was given by Mrs.
\V. W. C'arr of i "alley. Kansas,
who occupied room 7 on the
north side of the building. She
tired with her little
when she smelled |
experienced a stilling
sensation. She arose and open '
ening the door of her door saw
the (lames bursting through the
partition dividing tli • hail and
room 8. She raised an alarm at
once and Almost at the same in-
stant seemed the hall was
tilled with gaests. Mrs. C'arr es-
caped through tlv froat staii-
w
ti. B. Purcell, whose room was
on the second floor front, awoke
wlie i the alarm win give i, and
rushing from his room, awaken-
ing gu sts as be went, ha found
tho dining room girls panic
struck, the lire hemming t'uern
in—the flames bursting through
the stairway, which was partly
! blockaded with their trunks,
; which they were trying to save.
He urged them tu leave their be-
longings and goon through the
j tire and over ibe trunks to the
| fresh air and safety below—and
when tney hesitated ho lit-
: urally threw them down stairs
through tli • tiro, and the three
girls eacuped to the street. O.i '
of the girls, Annie OvVens, suf-
fered a fracture of her right
1 arm in the fall, Mr. Purcell
then bethought himself of G. H.
Lawrence whom he had waken-
ed a moment before anil whom
he was not sa Ufied hi I left his
liis room. Uy searching through
the thick smoke he found Mr.
Lawrence and guided htm to 1 11 ■

Mr. Lawrence climbed down a

returned to the burning building

i f the 1 utei'ior*
To lake Ibe place of all these
officials, a civil governor will be
appointed with teritorial rflicera,
whose decisions io regard to ter-
ritorjul aH'airs will be final. Such,
in briel is the new plan now being
considered by me tnbers of the
Committee on Imliaii Affairs ot
the House amJ Senate, according
to advices received hereby Barnes
and several others jironjir.cui iu
in tlie affairs ol the administration
in this section. Th s plan is said
to have met with the approval ot
Ooininosiouer of Indian affairs
Jones, who recently made au ex-
tended trip through the territory.
Since tiie pannage of the Curtis
bill there isaa been so much com-
plaint and so many charges pre-
ferred that prominent members ot
tho Committee on Indian Affairs
ot tiie II. use and Senate have be-
come satisfied that a complete
revision of the governmental
m ichincry in the territory has be-
come absolutely iiecossaiy.
Congressman I). T. Flynn says
that (MiniMM* Sherman of tho
House Committee on Indian Af-
fairs, has already practically coin
pleted preliminary arranirements
forao early meeting of the com
iniltee seou after the COVeiiillg ot

been notified that they will bo ex-

preparation ol such legislation as

A Noted Missionary.
He v. J. S. Marrow is a very
estimable man and lias labored for
the uplifting ol the Indian longer
than most men live. But the
Christian missionary an<4 the
"eastern sentimental" brent no the
the same atmosphere,as Dr. Mur-
uow's interview in a recent issue
rf the Atlanta Constitution shows,
lie said:
"The white people who come t*
tho Indian Territory, many of
them, are Injuring their very
souls trying to secure the Indian**
land. They make any kind of
: claim * ' relationship to seize the
' land The whites tire now the
1 actual, but hhI the legal, possess-
ors of the country. There are
many half breeds and intermar-
ried whites who have legal claims
to the allotted lands, b it tho vud
majority have no right whatever
to it.'*
Dr. Marrow snys ho see* no
hope for the Indian raoo—?xter-
minatton is their doom. He h:ts
been doing missionary work
among them for 42 yearn, and Iu
says his cxpcrieir'O in that liuto
has proven co.uclk*.■- Jy t« him
that the Indian is capable of a
high degree of civiiiz ition—of
(Miristmiu cmvifixation, lie expressed
it—but he declares liiey are no
match tf. r tbe cliicanery an 1
slitewdueas ot the white ui ui.
For a great many ye-rs the
litnil govcriimeutsot the various
Indian nations have experienced
more or less trouble in tiie coileo
tion of their national royalties
Irom traders and others doing
business within tho respective
boundaries ot the nations, sav* tbt
South McAlester Capital. U-ceiit
ly, tho C/hoctaw nation, through
us autheriEod collector, Mr J S.
Forrest, made demand upon II.
Kocenstoiu n merchant doing a
general merchandise business at
Alderson, Indian Territory, for
royalties due the nation from him.
Mr Uosentdein tendered a nomi-
nal sum, about one.Mfih of what
was actually d«e the nation 4'rorn
him forgo, ds introduced and ex
posed for sale by him for a givo i
period, which Mr, Forest refused
10 accept. Mr. Forrest thjn re-
pot le I the facts to G >vt"**or Mj-
Curtain, who, after carefully* ex-
amining tiie ca«e ma le a report to
United States Indian Agent Shoen-
felt, at Muskogee, and asked for
the removal of U isenstetu, to-
gether witn nil his personal effects
to a point without the limits ofthe
Choctaw nation. At this juncture
Mr. Kosenstein, through his coun-
sel, appeared heforo the Indian
ugenl, and asked for pormition
to comply with tho local royally
laws of tho Choctaw natior.. The
matter has not been final I v adjusted
but it understood that R isensicin
will be pern.tiled to cm .one Busi-
ness in the nation after a full and
correct settlement on tho royalties
