City what Charles E. Hunter, the Rough Hider, who was recently appotnted Clerk of the United States District Sourtat Oklahona City, will soon resign and returo tothe ranks of Democracy, has been confirmed here, Mr. Hunter returned so theRepub-| ican fold five or six years ago, alter having been @ fuston Democrat for a number of years. He wasa@ young Rough Rider under Roosevelt and friend of the latter. At the present time he is president of lhe Natfonal Rough Riders’ Association. In connection with the resignation, soon to take place, of Mr. Hunter, ‘tthe statement is made that this re- sults from the nomination of Ex- Gov. Tom Ferguson of Watongajfor Congress in the Second Oklahoma District. To triend Mr. Hunter @alc: “If Ferguson is nominated I will wo back to the Democratic party, re- sign my job and spend $2500 out of my own pocket to defeat Ferguson for election.” Is may be the hand writing on the -wall, which men like Hunter sees, and they desire to get back into the Democratic fold, knowing that party sill be in power in the new State, Some Educational Notes. ‘By Supt. A. L, Ives, The Annual County Teachers’, As- sociation will be held Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday, November 15, 16 and 17. A large attendance {is ex- pected; also an extensive exhibit of school work, The program] will be dent out abouts tlie last week in Sep- tember, ‘The outline of the course of study redotly issued trom the County Superintendent's vifics willdoubtless prove very helpful to she teachers, A copy has been aent to each teach- er and school board in the eounty. By exatnining she outline, the school doard can know just where the class- 0s should be in the ditierent branches of study at anytime during the year. It{s hoped thas she use of the outline will greatly unffy and atrengthen she school work fn the sounty. The school {brary movement re- velved considerable attention last year. The district that did nothing tn that way {fs the exception, Many districts put in good working li- hraries. The work should be con- tinued this year. The district hav- ing no library certainly should start one this year; and a few good books should be added to the libraries al- ready established. The teachers can be a large factor in this work, A school journal recently made the following suggestions in behalf of the schoo! library: ‘If the district won't buy a library, get upan en- tertainment, havea social, try a Spelling match with a collection an- mex, have a box supper—in some way get a few good, interesting ooks asa start for the working school library. When the district gees what a good thing it fs, how in- terested the teacher and pupils are, “1 will not be very hard work to get @ library established. Many rural schools havefrom 50 ‘to 100 volumes. These were secured mainly through the efforts of the teachers. May we not secure more -such libraries for the school children of the county? Notwithstandiug the difficulties in ‘the way of the schools, we are mak- “ing progress. The outlook was nev- -er more hopeful. The calling was ‘mever more respected. The people CARNAL OF SLAUGHTER Jews Massacred Indiscriminately and Houses Looted at Siedice, Russian Poland. FIRE ADDS TERROR TO AWFUL SCENE Bloodthinsty Soldiers of the Ozer Use ar Ullery on Defenseless City — Many Buildings Destroyed~Dispateh Fram Warsaw Places Casualties at 200 Killed and 3,000 Wounded St. Petersburg, Sept. 14—The pre- dictions made in the dispatches on August 23 of a Jewish massacre at Siedlce, Russian Polana, unhappily huve been justified by the fighting which broke out Saturday night and developed Sunday into a carntval of indiscriminate slaughter and pillage in which the soldiery and the mob took part. Unfortunate Jews were shot and bayonetted in the streets of the town, Houses and shops were broken into and sacked. Valuables Were curried off and offered for sule by soldiers to bassengers on passing trains, In addition to the Jews a number of Christians and even some officers met their death inthe fighting. The num- ber of victins has not yet been ex tablished but a conservative estimate places it at 140. The Jewish fugi- tives who thronget the railroad sta- tions at Siedlce are in a state of panic. Reports received here from Warsaw and other towns in the vicinity of Siedlce place the number of victims at several hundred, The early reports af the Giedlice Mussacres put the responsibility at the door of the terrorists but fugi- tives declare the soldiers never would have been allowed to get so completly out of hand without the connivance, if not the actual direction of their Officers. The first reports received of the Bialystok massacre last June said the terrorists were to blame there also, After the murder of a policeman by terrorists on Saturday night and the firing of a volley by troops into the assembled crowd which resulted in the killing of two citizens and the wounding of many more, the terror- ists met and decided to ex: geance by campaign against the poll troops, similar to the in Warsaw. Sunday morning 12 pa- trolmen and soldiers were killed, As @ result of this the Libau regiment, in anger left its barracks in the af- ternoon and marched into the Jewish quarter, shooting right and left as it went. The troops were joined by crowds of Hooligans, who co-operated in the plundering and wantonly de stroyed everything they were unable Or undesirous of carrying away. The sale of booty by the soldiers went on under the very eye of their officers. Late in the afternoon the Kaluga Tegiment arrived on a special train from Biala and measures were insti- tuted to put a stop tothe pogrom. In spite of this, however, the shoot- ing continued up to a late hour Sun- day night.

There seems to no doubt that the terrorists are responsible for pro- voking the massacre by thelr fusil- ades from roofs and windows on Saturday aguinst soldiers and police- men who were patroiling the streets, The troops snrrounded the houses ‘rom which this firing came and soured in volleys through the win- fows and doors. This was followed oy a search of the premises, whith soon developed into wholesale plun dering and subsequently into a mas~ sacre and slaughter. The trouble be- gan tn Pienkna street and spread rap- idly to a large portion of the town Almost all the Jewish shops have been looted. Owners who defended |thetr property were killed or wounded. jAny person seen leaving a house or jlooking out of a window was shot ‘without mercy.

Rectnus, Kansas City, Money in Panama Junk, Washington, Sept. 10—The sale of 7,200 tons of cast iron junk on the isthmus of Panama for $60,000 recent- ly has encouraged the canal commis- sion to believe they have a small for- tune in worthless machinery pum chased from the French canal com- pany. The lot of scrap iron sold was assembled from a few acres of grouna which Chief Engineer Stevens found it necessary to clear in order to con- struct new switching yards for the Panama railroad. One of the officials of the canal commission said’ Mon- day that there were 30 méles of ground strewn with similar machinery.

May Deport Chorus Singers, New York, Sept 10.—Fifty mem bers of the Metropolitan Opera chorus arrived on the steamer La Bretagne. Later the chorus may have to ge on Ellis Island to prove that they are not contract laborers. A theatrical agent, John J. Barry, filed a complaint with the department of commerce and labor in Washington and with the inmmigration author- ities in this city in which he alleges that the chorus singers come under the contract labor law, in that they TTAGKED A TROOP TRAN hadeee Troops Beat off Cuban Insurgents in Pinar del Rio Province.

Havana, Sept 10.—Government military and railroad officlals'‘and the newspaper correspondents were ail torown into a state of excftement Sun- day evening by men who arrived here from Paso Real with stories that the armored train which left Havana Fri- day had met with various obstacles beyond Herradura, had been thrown from the tracks and its 300 men, ma- chine guns, horses and equipment captured. As these tales were con- firmed by the Western railroad's first telegraphic advices from Paso Real they were believed to be true until authentic reports of actual occurren- ces were Wired by those who had re tarned to Paso Real from the scene, The real facts of ‘the case are that Colonel Avalos, who was believed to be surrounded in Pinar del Rlo city and the armored train made a june tion east of Consolacion del Sur, and the government forces to that ex: tent are improved. The news of this fact caused much relief in official circles, The train proceeded Saturday even: ing from Paso Real to 2 1-2 miles east of Consolacion del Sur at which point the rails had been removed and replaced a locomotive and three cars which had been thrown from the track, The insurgents attacked but were driven off by the two machine guns handled by the American Captain Webster. L is belleved that many insurgents were killed, but the number Is not known. Meanwhile a large portion of Colonel Avalos’ force had come eastward from Piuar del Rio for the purpose of making a junction with the machine gun corps. At Consolacton del Sur thetr advance was disputed by a large band of insurgents and a lively fight ensued. The insurgents were driven off and several of them were killed or wounded. Avalos and his men continued their journey east: ward Sunday morning and made a junction, first with the cavalry force of Captain Ravenna, which is scout: ing ahead and finally with the dis abled troop train, The train has not been molested since the junction was effected, but the bridge over the San- to Clara river eastward from the train was blown up Sunday, together with two smaller one, preventing the use of the road beyond Herradura, There ts some alarm in Havana on account of the nearness to the city ot several hundred insurgents belong tog to the forces of Asbert, Loynaz and Castillo, some of whom are of: ten seen m the hills at Jesus del Monte, in the southern extremity ot the city. Intimations received from these bands are to the effect that they are merely awaiting the out. come of the peace negotiations, prac tically all the insurgents in the prov, inces of Havana and Santa Clara having ceased operations for the pres. ent tm accordance with the tentative agreement with the peace commis sionera, The fourth week of the rebellion opens with the government's forces better equipped and tmproved in discipline, but enlistments are slow. President Palma’s action in calling a special session of congress is meeting with some adverse criticism. Many persons believe that no good purpose will be served by a discussion of the causes of the war and of peace pro posals by the congress. Tampa, Fla, Sept. 10—A Cuban general, traveling incognito arrived Monday on his way to Washington on a@ government mission. Three hun- dred passengers also came on the same steamer, fleeing from the trou- bles on the’island, They report that the rebel army has now more -than 1,000‘men armed and equipped. The situation, they report, ts more gloomy than ever before and the Cuban gov- HIS DEATH WAS SUDDEN. Col. F. W, Blees of Macon Owner of the There St. Louts Hotel. St Louis, Sept. 10—Col. Frederick W. Blees, proprictor of Blees’ mil- itary academy in Macon, Mo, and a prominent character in Missouri, was found dead in his room at the South- ern hotel shortly after 8 o'clock Sat- arday evening. His body was founa by Benjamin Fitch, a clerk at the hotel Fitch says that there had been @ number af telephone calls from Macon, Mo, for Col Blees from the latter’s son, T. J. Blees. Col. Blees had not been seen around the hotel office all day, and Fitch, thinking that he might have left the hotel without turning in his key, sent a bell boy up to the room. The bellboy returned and told Fitch that the door was locked. Fitch went up to the room and looked through the transom. He saw Col. Blees Ly- ing motionless on the bed. Police- men Quinn and Ftynn of central dis- trict were notified. They forced the door open. Col. Blees had for years been one of the most notable figures ip Missou- ri It is sald that he owned a large portion of the town of Macon, Mo., including several manufacturing plants and the Blees’ military acad- emy, which he made one of the moat notable institutions tn the country. The verdict of the examining physi- cians, Dr, Henry Lloyd and Dr, J. A. Hartman, was that death had resulted from a disease of the heart, Macon, Mo, Sept 11.—Nearly the Macon, Mo., Sept. 1—Nearly the entire population of Macon, white and black, was at the Burlington depot at 7:30 o'clock Sunday night when the body of Col, F.
