A NEW ENTERPRISE.
Tahlequah. FIT. Gibson and wag.
oner Electric Railway.

TAnLEoUAH. L T.. Oct. 81. Iso2
Special to The CHIkFrAIS.
The latest and greatest excite
ment in Tahlequah is the construc
tion of an electric railway from
Tahlequah to Fit. Gibson and Wag;
cner, or possibly to Muskogee IN
stead of Wagner. Mrs. DR.. X.
Morgner, of st. Louis, who came
here a week ago to attend to some
business connected with her oil
interests at Chelsea, is at the head
OF the enterprise. She came over
from Ft. Gibson on the stage one
of those rainy days never dream
ing of an electric railway. After
arriving here the idea OF, such a
road was suggested more in the
way of jest than a reality, but
after inquiry as to the amount OF
traffic and travel between Table
quah and Fit. Gibson, she saw
that such thing was a necessity
and would be a apaying investment,
both to private individuals and to
the Cherokee nation as a source of
revenue. The idea Of such thing
was talked of jestingly at first by
the people of Tahlequah, but now
they realize its great advantages
and are all heartily in favor of the
move.
The plan is first to secure a
charter from council for the con-
struction and operation Of the road,
then issue stock to all citizens who
will buy, and finish it out with
foreign capital if necessary, paying
to the stockholders a dividend and
the Cherokee nation a per centage
OF the income. A rough estimate
fixes the capital necessary for its
construction and equipment at
about one hundred and fifty thous.
and dollars. 1t will be a home
enterprise as far as we are able to
invest. 1t is not yet definitely set
tied whether the road will run
from Ft. Gibson to Wagner or
Muskogee. Connection with the
NJ, X. & I. road is to be made at
one or the other Of those places.
The idea is advanced that it will
be cheaper to cross the Arkansas
on a steam boat than TO build a
bridge over Grand river. Mrs.
Morgner only came to stay two or
three days but has now decided to
remain during council to attend to
getting the charter. She is stop
ping at the National hotel and will
be pleased to give any information
wanted.
All the talk Of Tahlequah is the
electric railway. A year from now
the seminary boys and girls will
in all probability ride over on an
electric car in one hour instead of
five hours jolting on the stage.
The following petition TO coun-
Gil is being sent TO a number Of
prominent citizens over the nation
for signatures TO grant the charter:
TAILEqoAn. I. 4 Oct. 20. lsog.
We, the undersigned, citizens OF
the Cherokee nation, do hereby
petition our honorable council 70

they will not be allowed to carry
the flag. If they show a disposi-
tion to work in the ranks of the
party they will be taken in on pro-
baton, and the fatted calf, the

they show disposition to want to

to content themselves with the

Rev. w. A. DUNCAN, in recent
article in the Advocate breaks
forth in the following remarkable
strain: Il know that to be an
American citizen is a proud thing
in the eyes OF a white man, but to
the Indians it has always proven
TO be death. And why2 Because
there are more whites than In
dians, and the whites always hate
the Indians.n

no doubt both press and public
will be glad of it.

ONE of the reasons advanced for
opposing a survey OF the lands of
this nation is that it would show
the size of each mans holdings,
and beget dissatisfaction among
those who have less than their
share. Some people don't like to
talk about the size of their i'm
provements.

that holding land in common Sc

The enormous profits realized
from fruit growing has conclusive.
ly proven that there is more money
in raising fruit than grain. In
raising grain we have the whole
world to compete with, but not so
with fruit, especially apples. No
other country is so situated as To
be able TO compete with Us in this
line. The demand for fruit can
never be filled because the source
of supply is confined to narrow
strip, north and south of which
orchard culture is failure.

" DIN CRAH.'

Meyerbeers "Dinorah was sung for the
Trst time this season at the Metropolitan
opera-House last night. 1t is a graceful
work, but not particularly impressive one.
1t served the purpose OF displaying the vocal
talent Of Marie Van Zandt very effectively.
and perhaps this agile young prima donna
had more occasion to rejoice than had
he pubic. She sang extremely well. and
the famous shadow song was rendered In
u way that showed the admirable cultivation
to which Van Zandt's voice had been sub
lected. Lassalle was not happy. As Iloel
he was seen and heard at q comparative dis.

There is remarkable specimen of boy
in the New Jersey Reform School at
Jamesburg. He has been made ward of
the State because it ls not considered safe
for him to be, at large. says an exchange.
He is only six years old. but has the
manners and the maturity of 9 young
man Of twenty and the mustache Of man
much older. He is called by the medical
men who have examined him precocious
bnby and II wonder in more way than one.
His name is Herman Hoffer.
He IS more than four feet in height. has
q nicely curled blonde mu stache and can
strike from the shoulder with the force OF
sledge hammer. He can move a barrel
of flour and lift easily n 200 pound weight
His parents have found it impoi sible to
control him.
The boy is not only the admiration of
neghborhood. He can whip any boy in
Trenton. and occasionally amuses him
self by playing David to the town Phil
I>tlneS.
The parents were forced to appeal to
Judge Robert s. Woodruff. of the Mercer
Circuit Court, TO put him III subjection.
He was examined by DIR. Horace q. Weth.
| erill, who pronounced him q phenomenon
and remarkable case.
The boy is now at ,Tamesburg and the

yet made any trouble. He Is too deeply

is attending school. but his teachers have
