the masculine heart is by the comfort
route.

any innovation conducive to increased sat
isfaction while pursuing his favorite pen
chant, Is given glad welcome.
The smoking waistcoat Is one of the
latest additions to the repertory Of mascu-
line wear put forth by the providers of
high class specialties. Every phase with
which smoking indoors Is most congenially
associated has been conserved in the con-
struction of the new garment.
Appropriate material Is used In various
types of fine goods, for the smoking waist
coat clearly has its place in the calendar
OF luxuries. The example here Illus
trated is of rich black matlasse with raised
black silken figures in scrollery design;
finished as high class garment sbould he

after the ample dinner to lay aside the

The lower pockets In both sides are
double pockets-on the left side the pocket
under the flap which buttons over is q
repository for smoking tobacco, roomy
and specially lined for that purpose, while
behind the flap is n slit pocket for tho
watch. On the right hand side the CORE

There is on the upper right side curiously
shaped pocket for the pipe bowl to rest
IN and u loop alongside in which the stem

most ingenious cartrdgclike pocket for
holding individual cigars so that they will
not break. Then again the various grades

and the bolt and sash held full sway.
They now are in noRligee patterns-light-
weight web-and having the elasticity so
Judiciously distributed in the ends, back
and front that former adherents have
locked buck to their support. The varie-
lions of the decorative fancies are limit
less. The patterns Of web are in almost as
great II range as neckwear. Silks and the
colorings have invaded tho art realm to
the extent Of utilizing peachblow as a
leading shade. There are mourning sus-
penders absolutely all black, and there are
morning braces of liquid red.
Tho negligee shirt would never have sur
viyed the OVERRIDING of it's first season,
when the most kaleidoscope array OF pat
terms were launched upon IN expectant
and unsuspecting public, had it not been
Tor the tact and good Judgment of the
specialists in this branch. The ensuing
season found them early In the field with
an array OF the most conservative color
blendings and pattornings that completely
vitinted the initial impression. This has
been dceponed as the seasons have come
and gone until the negligce shirt has grown
to be recognized as an indispensable ad-
1unct OF summer time.

Among all the appurtenances of the
masculine repertory there is none that has
kept apace Of tho upward tendency with
keener sympathy or made moro compre-
hensive strides along the fine art lines than
neckwcar. Under the conservative con-
ditions that have governed the masculine
costume for some time past the neckwear
has been the dominant feature of the en-
semble, the one restful clause that has
saved the wearer from mediocrity. There
can be no doubt about the progress made
by tho specialists in this field, prolific as it
Is OF achievement. A comparison of the
neckwear OF four years ago and today
would verify the statement At that time
there were no preccdences in the wearing
OF neckwear. The etiquette OF scarf wear
Ing was then unknown. The examples
offered were palpably in madeup effects,
and the chief aim Of the designer seemed
to be to make them look as if upholstered,
padlike and as artificial as possible.

A Branch of the M, <. & T

According to Tahlequah paper,
we are threatened with a new rail-
road direct from here to that
place; it is probably sound" in
deed:
There is sound talk of branch
of the NJ, X. & I. railroad being
built from Vinita to Tahlequah at
an early day. J. S. Stapler, presi-
dent of the Bank of rahlequah, in
behalf of ou. citizens. is now cor
responding with the officials Oi the
road in regard to this important
branch. Ii the officials OF the road
could only be made to see the
great importance of this project
they would not hesitate "a bit; 1t
would be a paying branch from
start 10 finish. The road would
run down through the rich valley
OF Grand River, unul it reached a
point near the Orphan Asylum,
then cut across passing through
one of the best timbered regions OF
country in the Cherokee nation, to
rahleauah, the Capital and Athens
uf tho whole Cherokee nation. AT
a rough estimate, based on calcu-
iAtions by our business men, there
is annually spent by the town OF
rahlequah, alone, $3.50, ,UOO for
freight and passenger traffic
There is more travel u Tahlequan
the year around than to any other
point IN the Cherokee nation, by
the citizens of this country and
others. Here, too, are all OF the
nigh schools of tue Cherokee ma
liOn situated-besides Mission
schools OF a high grade. And here
the public buildings, the Capitol
National Penitentiary, Insane Asy-
lum, Male Seminary, Female Sem
mary, Colored High School, Bap-
list Academy, Presbyterian Mis-
sion School; besides all these
things, Tahlequah has a fine -four
ing mill that does a world of bust
ness. Then, too, as a commercial
point, Tahlequah is second to
none in the whole Indian Terri
tory. Tahlequah has population
Of about $3.50, and is the best
town in Ali the west, especially SO,
taking into consideration IL has no
railroad. Our Council would Ger.
tainly grant a right of way for this
route we speak OF.

WE SHOULD KEEP OUT.

Within a little over a month
from now the excitment incidental
to the great political campaign in
the states will have reached its
zenith, as after the presidential
election interest will begin to wane
and things take on their usual
course. The level-headed business
man generally looks With regret
upon the arrival Of these cam
paign years. 1t is usually found
10 be an of year so far as business
is concerned. There is just enough
difference in the nominal policy
Of the leading political parties to
cast a shade of doubt upon nearly
all lines Of business ventures, and
10 create degree OF uneasiness in
financial circles. The current year
is one in which the result Of the
general election is hard 70 forecast.
therefore all the business man can
do is TO stop, in measure, aud
wait until the combat is over be-
fore making any more investments.
After an election is over, almost
any man is willing to admit that
the matters involved were of less
general consequence than they
were deemed 10 be during the ex.
citement OF the campaign. The
people Of this territory escape il,
measure the disastrous results
Of the campaign years in lhe
states. and our home politics are
50 local in their bearing upon the
business enterprises that they are

The Commissioners Interviewed

The Commissioners Interviewed.
The Cherokee commissioners
recently met at Wichita, preps-a-
tory to starting for the territory
and were interviewed by news.
paper man. Speaking of the
Cherokee Strip, Judge A. NJ Will
son said
alt is absolutely certain that il
will be opened to settlement some
where about March 1st, next. The
deal is already made and the con-
tract closed, and all that stood in
the way Of its opening heretofore
is shortage ofmoney TO pay for it..
| think the contract will be rattle d
by congress early in February, and
that the president will issue his
proclamation sufficiently early to
permit settlers to do their spring
work. | think that over a hun
dred thousand people will settle
on the strip the moment it is de-
clared open"
Hon. w. G. Sayre-"It requires
an expenditure of about $1,000, 900
to pay for the Strip lands, and so
much having already been opprop-
rated 10y congress they did not
feel safe in appropriating any more
on account of the coming campaign.
After the election, however, they
will be relieved from this restraint.
Our people are very much in favor
Of the opening of the strip, | was
in Washington few days ago and
found everybody in the admins
tration circles exceedingly favor
able TO its opening. "
Mr.. Sayre said the commission
would visit the Comanches, Paw
nees, Otoes and Poncas, but is
fearful that the result will not be
satisfactory, except, possibly, IN the
case of the Comanches, who oc-
cupy the same reservation as the
Kiowas and Apaches. Mr.. Sayre
thinks the prospect of any further
dealings with the Indians is mighty
poor since the opening up of the
Cheyenne and Arrapahoe reserva.
ton and the reservations opened
up on the east of Oklahoma. The
Indians of these reservations min
gle good deal with one another
and the former, it seems, tell the
latter that the mixing up with the
whites and occupying of lands in
severalty is not what it is cracked
up to be. This dissatisfaction has
discouraging effect on the other
Indians and as a consequence,
they are dead set against giving up
their lands. Mr.. Sayre also thinks
that there are some fellows
in Kansas who are advising them
TO hold on to their possessions.
