DAYS. 4 substantial building, SOx40 feet,
stands on the island between plats 3 and

machinery as any city can boast of. The
engine and boiler has capacity of 100
horse power. The arc light machine has
Il capacity of 80 lights and the incandes-
cent machine capacity of $50 lights.
There is already up about 20 miles of wire,

The Glamorgan Iron company, of Lynch
burg, who have the contract to erect the
watcr-works, have made their sugvevs, and
located their pipe lines from the reservoir,
on the mountain side, six miles up the
south fork of Powcll's river, to the town.
A portion of their mains is on the ground

"OUI.LI-KIE" AND BOB

"Qui-li-kie" again comes forwarc
with his rabbits footp and il
making himself felt in Cheroke,
politics-not as an Original
designer, but as a perfecter of the
plan bequeathed him by Gen
Fairchild,o of Cherokee commission
fame.
From certain events transpiring
In the lower districts, it seems that
the good general, who by the way
won SO much G.. A. X. notoriety
at home, did give his entire time
to the negotiations his government
sent him to make. but he made it
convenient to organize a G. A. r.
among the fullblood Cherokees
Now the little button, the badge
of the grand army of the republic,
is to be seen on the coats of many
an Indian that shouldered his
squirrel rifle to save the union.
If this organization was gotten up
only to honor those who fought in
the civil war, nothing could be
said against it. But it seems that
it is nothing but a political ring
after ala binding together of the
fullbloods to elect a chief. 1t is
said that these men are sworn to
vote for none but those who were
union soldiers. This of course
knocks Mayes' and Bells chance,
so far as the G. A. r. goes, in the
head; 1t also nips in the bud the
hopes of Col. VIM. P. Ross and
d. w. Bushyhead, for the colonel
belonged TO the wrong army, and
Mr.. Bushyhead was in California.
The onlyman this arrangement will
benefit and doubtless the only one
It is intended TO benefit, is the ma
tional treasurer, Robt. B. Ross,
who has been in harness with
"Qui-li-kie" before, Mr.. Ross, who
charges his country eight thousand
dollars for leasing the strip for
three months, and takes the mon
ey when the avowed organ OF his
party boasts that the country is in
such straightened circumstances
that the officers cannot be paid
before next year for the services
done this year. SO this is the man
hat the General, "Qui-li-kie" and
heir little band want for chief Of
.his nation. A very nice little
scheme, but il wont work.

THURSDAYS terrible storm de-
stroyed from one hundred and fif-
ty to two hundred lives in Louis
vile alone. 1t was ono of the
most terrific storms known in the
annals of history. Notwithstanding
the immense damage done in the
Mississippi valley from the floods,
It seems the worst is yet to come.
Serg't Dunn, Of the signal service,
says it is the duty Of the press to
warn the people Of the lower Miss
issippi TO prepare for the worst
calamity that has ever befallen
that section of the country. The
swollen waters have made several
immense cseyises in the levees be-
low Vicksburg, from two hundred
to fifteen hundred feet in size and
from twenty to twenty-five feet
deep, flooding the country with
rivers of water every second. All
the lower valley is in danger Of be.
ing inundated.

The following extract, taken
from letter written by Mr.. L A.
Bell, fully explains itself:
While surveying land in 1883
accidentally handled poison oak
vine, and in less than three hours
(the eruption usually resulting
from such contact begins in ten
days. my face was swollen and
disfigured and my hands and arms
seriously affected. | Immediately

bottles ! found all signs of the
breaking out entirely removed. |
was led to suspect its return at the
same time next year, but il did
not, nor has there been any indi-
cations of its return since.
My little boy, eight years old,
was afflicted with the same poison
in 1884. After taking several bot
ties Of Swift's Specific Is. s. 81
the eruptions entirely disappear
ed. A very slight form OF the
same eruption returned during the
next spring, but we then resumed
the 8. $. s., and having taken
enough during that season to make
the cure permanent, he has not
since had any return ofthe disease.

THE chief got back from Wash
ington few days ago, but did not
stop over at Vinita. He has
many firm friends and staunch
supporters in this town and he
would find it to his interest to pay
them some attention. He ought
to stop over here when he goes or
comes from Washington. Unless
he does pay them some attention
they viii think he has forgotten
them and they will retaliate by
forgetting him. Come up to Vinita.
Mr.. Chief, and tell the people what
is being done in Washington.

OWNERS Of town lots in Vinita
have paid too little attention to
their property. From the time
when the railroad was first built
this town was looked upon as the
place destined to be the largest
and most thriving city in the linn
its Of the territory. 1t is in the
center Of most fertile country
for miles in every direction the
land is unsurpassed. Fuel and
water are abundant, hence people
from all parts of the nation were
eager to own lots here. They
bought the lots and did nothing
more, thinking that the mere pos
session Of town property would
make their fortunes. No lots were
fenced, no trees planted, hence, if
it were not for the fact that they
are in the town of Vinita those lots
would be undesirable. Property
can be made much more valuable
at small outlay Of money and
labor. Fence the lots and set out
trees and in few years this will
be the most beautiful town in the
territory.

ARROW is a right witty, sarcas-
tic little paper, and passing brave,
withal. Many a time has it shot
its little arrows Of sarcasm at The
CHIEFTA1N and at the Downing
party and thought it had downed
them forever, till suddenly they
would serenely bob up again.
Yes, the Arrow is witty and smart,
and all that, but with all its clev-
erness it never says a word to
build up the country OF encourage
home industry. All, no It isn't
built that way. Il was designed
and put up solely for the use of
the National party in which its
hopes and ambition is centered.
Evidently it would rather see a
National majority in esuncii siisan
see the treasury full and our
schools in a prosperous condition;
il would rather see a National
chief and council than see the
land overfowing with milk and
honey and the people prosperous
and happy. Strange paper.

TnE Interior department seems
determined to have the Indians
understand thoroughly that they
cannot lease their lands for grazing
purposes any more. Dispatches
from Washington, Monday, say
another decree has been issued
from headquarters saying that no

shall Craze their stock upon Indian
lands, whether they have made
contracts with the Indians or not.
1t DEGREES that the Indians have
no right to lease their lands, The
