smslled the liquor and told the engineer
to stop. Jim always wanted TO stop
where there was liquor. He made the

THE FouRrH.--The one hundred and
ninth anniversary Of American inde-
pendence was day slightly observed
within the confines Of the Indian Ter
ritory. rNthe Vinitaites who remain
cd at home II had no more signifc ance
than the Chinese new year or some Or
dinary week day. But to those who
left our quiet little town on that occa-
sion for amusement and enjoyment
elsewhere last Saturday was gala day.
A day or two preceding Saturday some
OF our folks were in a quandary as to
whore they should go to celebrate the
fourth OF July. Some concluded 10 go
TO Parsons, some Seneca, and some
Adair. The wash-outs on the Missouri
Pacific "blocked the game" for the
two aforementioned points, aud only
the latter place was available. A con-
veyance in the shape of a locomotive
and solitary caboose was rigged up and
took about fifty Of our people down to
Adair Station. Four miles west of that
place, at the home Of Edward Adair,
was held q grand barbeoue-as had
been previously announced--and when
the Vinita Especial" arrived convey
ances were in waiting TO take our dele
cation to the scene OF action. The ex-
ercises were rather curtailed, judging
by the promises Of the programmes
issued, but the roast beef was there
just the same, and the assemblage of
Eve hundred people did, for a fact, cre-
ate sad havoc with the good things pre-.
pared for the day. After the dinner
was over Major James NJ. Bryan, OF
Chouteau, made the people a short ad-
dress. His remarks were chiefly con-
fined to matters relating TO the welfare
Of the Cherokee nation and its people.
Then followed dancing, which was the
only amusement for the remainder OF
the day, and ended only at sun-down.
Persons were present from radius OF
twenty miles. We arc happy 10 state
that everything passed of pleasantly
and without disturbance. A slight
connection was caused, however, at
the close Of the dance, but was Of no
real consequence. The CHIErTAIN's
representative is under obligations to
Agent Fay and his estimable lady, Mr.
and Mrs. j. J. Delozier and others for
courtesies shown.

Cure For Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part Of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-
lection Of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times symptoms Of indi-
gestion are present, flatulenoy, uneasi-
ness OF the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing very
disagreeable itching after getting warm
is common attendant. Blind, bleed
ing, itching piles yield at once TO the
application Of DR.. Bosank o's Pile REM
edy,which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the tumors, allay-
ing the intense itching and eiiecting q
permanent cure. Price 80 cents. Sold

RETURNED.--After number of weeks
relief from active service, If not rest,
your old friend, the local, has returned
and will resume hostilities. The last
end of the trip was somewhat beset
with difficulties, but the pleasure of
being at home and seeing all the folks
is ample reward. "Water, water, ev-
erywhere," has been the rule, and
many of our neighbors in "drouthy"
Kansas Will always remember the past
week. Every stream has been full
enough, but the Neosho stretched it,
self out TO q width Of from one to two
miles most Of its length. The writer
reached Fort ScottIast Thursday night
and was there detained until Monday.
In order to get through then 10 was
necessary TO ferry the river named at
Usage Mission for a distance of not
less than a mile. In places the boat
passed over fields where the water was
ten or fifteen feet deep, and only the
tops Of hedges could be seen showing
the boundaries. The damage could
only be estimated by calculating what
a promising crop would have yielded.
All movable fence in the bottoms, all
lighter buildings, and in fact every
thing which would float was carried off.
Some loss of life was reported, but not
80 great as might have been anticipa-
ted. Cattle and hogs were drowned by
hundreds, and the sufferers will be a
number of years in regaining their
former pecuniary positions. Never
before was so hard a rain experienced,
nor was IL continued 80 long. Many OF
the Texas passengers, after remaining
at Fort Scott two or three days, were
taken back to st. Louis to try the Iron
Mountain road. Other travellers who
had jumped at the prospect of river
transfer, turned back when the time
came. The Missouri Pacific company
did oil they could for their people, and
contrary TO the generality Of such
cases were universally commended on
their efforts. Tive freight trains were
wrecked within fifty miles Of each
other In one OF which thirteen cars
were disabled. The Frisco line between
Oswego and Peirce Citysuhered badly
and in fact railroad operations in
southern Kansas may be declared at
q staudstill.

Vinita men. One is a minister and
the other an officer. SThe minister
packed his grip and started for Chou.

which was held there recently. The
officer started for Chouteau, too, think
ing the occasion might perhaps be an
auspicious one for capturing little Of
the stuff that cheers as well as paraly-
zes. Reaching his destination he saw
the reverend gentleman's grip-sack
sitting on the depot platform, and
thought 1t might possibly contain
whisky. When the owner approached
the officer and requested his help in
carrying the innocent but deceptive
grip into the waiting room, the latter
did 80, and then inquired OF the agent
whom the first tram for Vinita would
come along.
