CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoRERs.
Report of the Recent Meeting at
Springfield.

AT the fifth annual convention of
the Christian Endeavor societies of
Missouri, which met at Springfield
October 23d, Vinita was we'll rep.
resented, Notwithstanding the fact
that it is rather outside the state
line. Ten from the Y. p. s. G. K.
of this place attended the meetings,
which were both helpful and inter
esting.
When the Vinita delegation ar
rived at Springfield Thursday
evening they found 100 other dele
gates already there, and the Friday
evening trains brought in crowds
from st. Louis and Kansas City, as
well as from intermediate points.
1t was the largest religious gather.
ing Springfield ever entertained,
there being over thousand dele
gates in all, about 600 of whom be-
longed to the local societies. The
fiuttering badges were quite a
prominent feature of the conven-
tion. The reception and hand
shaking committees and ushers
had each their respective badges.
We thought that some whom we
met must belong to all the COM
mittees, IL we were TO judge by the
number of badges they wore
The Springfield endeavorers were
distinguished by badges of pink
ard the visiting delegates by Nile
green badges.
One curious individual, evident.
ly one Of the uninitIated, asked us:
"What is everybody wearing rib
bons for ?" We hope that he will
attend the next convention duly
decorated. for we tried to explain
the mystery to his satisfaction and
ecifcation.
The session opened at 4 o'clock
on Friday afternoon in the Cum.
berland Presbyterian church, with
the singing of grand old "Corona.

large audience and the inspiration
Of such a volume OF song struck
the keynote Of the whole conven-

ness, the address Of welcome in
behalf of The city was given by
Mayor Perez. He extended con-
gralulations to the society for its
rapid growth 10 a membership Of

THE political situation of the
Cherokee Nation cannot be expect
ed to remain in its present condi-
tion long. Agencies are at work
in and out of the country which
tend to the speedy dissolution of
our present form of government,
and matters are getting in such a
shape that nearly all thinking peo-
pie would welcome the change.
The only question now is, How
can we best get control of and
manage our landed interests with
out the interference Of the United
States government

THE Baxter Springs News says :
We may say that nearly all of the
Indians who have taken allot-
ments on the reservations south Of
US are in a prosperous condition,
and are fast attaining a ratio of in
telligence, independence and self
reliance that will place them on z
par with the white people of any

NOTICE.
To those desiring citizenship in
the Cherokee nation. To all
who arc interested in acquiring
a right in the Cherokee nation,
these few lines are addressed 1,
greeting:
When the Cherokee people lived
in their homes east of the Missis-
sippi river, the government of the
United States took four census of
the Cherokees by blood. First in
1928, second in 1885, third in 1S4S,
fourth in 1854. These became
matters of record in the War De-
partment in Washington, ID. G. In
eighteen hundred and eighty-four
the national council Of the Chero-
kee nation procured these rolls
from the department and by an act
of said council provided that all
whose ancestors names appear on
those rolls can establish their citi-
zenship by establishing their line
age from said ancestor.
Having an interest in my people
| would be pleased to have all in
terested in the matter to call on me
at in on. Consulta-
tion and advice free.

HIS OLD STAMPING GROUND.

Genial Tom Baker ReviSits His Former
Home Here.
The manager of the Mr.. Barnes of New
Theater, is Thomas Baker, more gener-
ally and familiarly known to old Sacra-
mentans as Tom" Baker. Some twenty
years have elapsed since Mr.. Baker left
here and travelled to South America. He
always took a prominent part in amateur
theatricals here, along with Albert Hart,
Mr.. and Mrs. L. II. Foote, Mrs. Julia
Dunn, Maze Edwards and others, and a
few years ago the old fever came upon
him again and he became a manager of
theatrical companies.
A RECORD UNION reporter, who knew
Mr.. Baker in the long ago, met him last
night at Second and j streets, by d. O.
Mills & Co.'s Bank. "YOu doubtless re-
member the old corner?" remarked the
reporter.
''Remember it!'' echoed Mr.. Baker.
"Well, l should say do! But point

How Major Gett Engineers Divorce
and Marriage Proceedings.
In the Superior Court yesterday after
noon the talented young barrister, Major
w. A. Gett, asked Judge Catlin if he had
any objections to taking up the divorce
case of Annie Kaiser VS.. David Kaiser.
The Judge had none.
The Major then proceeded to tell the
court how Kaiser cruelty and mysteri-
ously packed his wardrobe away in a.
collar-box and decamped about two
years ago. He gave his loving wife no
warning-nor the wherewithal to dine
again. He had never been seen since.
Let the decree ISSUE" ordered the
Judge, at the conclusion of the Majors
speech, and the latter bowed his thanks,
While this was going on a young man,
who 1t was afterwards learned was Will
lam ii. Dean, was pacing up and down
the corridor in front of the County Clerks
office.
Hist! It's all right, Deanr' The
Major skipped up the corridor and seized
Mr.. Deans hand. Then they both went
into the Clerks office, and Chief Deputy
DOody gave them paper Then they
skipped out of the building, when they
met Mrs. Kaiser, and all three then
skipped across the street to Justice
Henry's Office.
1t was just fifteen minutes after the di-
vOrce was granted when the Justice
kissed the bride.
'Oh, there are no grasshoppers on me
when 1t comes down to lively opera
tions," the Major was heard to remark as
he pocketed his fee and shook hands with
starting off down L street on their bridal
tour.
