to Unite =
Ia
In q Concentrated Effort to Secure
Changes in the Wilson Bill In
the Senate.
Some Talk Of q Substitute When the
Wilson Bill Reaches the Up.
per House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ~. The prospects
are that those persons who are opposing
the free raw materials in the Wilson
bill, coal, iron and lead ore, lumber etc.,
will concentrate their efforts to secure
changes in tho bill in the senate. Delega-
tions representing these various inter-
ests will be here during the coming week
to begin their work. Democrats, as far
as possible are being delegated to make
these protests. John M. Burke of Idaho,
tho advance guard of the lead men, Is
here, and will be joined in few days
by others representing the states Of
Montana, Wyoming, Nevada and the
territory of Utah. Mr.. Burke says that
free lead ore will absolutely paralyze
the mining industry of the states and
territory named. Mr.. Burke was the
Democratic candidate for governor Of
Idaho in the last campaign. If the duty
on lead ore can not be retained, in part
at least, by the Wilson bill, these lead
miners will ask for the restoration of the
duty of 2 cents on pig lead, reduced by
the Wilson bill to cent. An effort will
be made on the part Of the representa-
tives of the several interests to combine
SO as to secure concerted action, but
whether q combination can be effected
is very uncertain.

Good sleighing for Christmas.
The grip seems to have a hold
on most of the people of this town.
Minor arriva]al, Dec. rs, at the
residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Darling, a boy.
Miss Newkirk, of Worthington,
finished her fall term of school in
tho James district last Friday.
The school exercises in district
No. 8, last Thursday evening, were
both interesting and instructive.
Be sure and come next Thursday
evening and hear talk on history,
by the teacher, f. L. Cochran.
A very enjoyable day was spent
by few Of the neighbors who
gathered at the residence of B. F.
Young's last Friday and enjoyed
a bountiful feast of roast turkey,
oysters and many other good
things, such as few know better
how to arrange than Mrs.
Young. In the evening all gathered
at the school house in the James
district to attend the Xmas tree,
as announced in last weeks AD-
VANCE. The school teacher failed
to appear and take charge of the
program as per arrangement, so
the task fell to Mr.. Young, who
proved equal to the occasion.
There we're several pieces spoken
by the children, after which the
Rev. Lum made a short speech.
At about this time Santa Claus
showed up and said a few words,
but was in too great a hurry to
stay, as he had other appointments
to make. The tree was we'll loaded
and very hastily arranged. The
presents were duly distributed,
after which pop corn, candies and
oranges were passed around. We
would like to here add, for the
benefit Of those whe stayed at
home for fear that the tree would
be a failure, that in the opinion of
your humble scribe it was. to say
the least, success.

Of the money due them should be made a
permanent trust fund at Washington, and
the interest thereon now pays all the ex-
penses of their national government and
their schools, the latter amounting to $780,
600 yearly.
Every child in the Nation can secure a
good education without cost, and now that
a generation has grown up under this sys-
TEN nearly all the teachers are native
Cherokees. In the higher educational in
situations, however, several persons from
the States are employed. Miss Wilson,
principal of the female seminary, is from
Fayetteville Ark, and has taught in the
Nation for 20 years. At the institution,
near the capitol at Tahlequah, she now has
in charge 10 young ladies, representing
every neighborhood in the Nation. She is
assisted by two Cherokee ladies and by four
ladies from the eastern states.
The male seminary standing mile west
of the capitol, is in charge of Professor
Pointer, native of Tennessee and gradu-
ate of Vanderbilt university at Nashville.
One of lis assistants is Walter A Thomp-
son, native Cherokee, educated solely in
the Nations schools. In this institution
are $50 young Cherokees, who are receiving
a very thorough education. About three
fourths of the teachers of the Nation are
ladies, and a recent visitor at one of their
public meetings speaks with enthusiasm
of their personal charms and musical and
artistic accomplishments.
Despite many losses and the cutting off
of part of their number by cessions of
lands, the Cherokees as nation still num-
Der some $1,000, and their present territory
is ample for all their needs. Their form of
government is purely republican, though
native titles are retained. Their language
is cultivated in its purity, and a consider
able literature has grown up, printed in the
remarkably scientific characters invented
by Lequoyah, whose fame grows brighter
rs the years go on. He is honored even in
Europe as the ''untaught Cadmus OF
America, the Admirable Crichton of the
wilderness"

bert of Schleswig-Holstein, had solemnly
fixed the armorial shields on the ancient
gate at Clerlenwell with Maltese honcrs,
etc, at first glance seems like burlesque.
1t suggests "Sons of Malta" and that sort
of thing.
In truth, it was anything but an amusing
affair, for the memorial unveiled was in
honor of the late Duke of Clarence, son of
the Prince of Wales. The duke was first
subprior of the ancient order which now
holds Clerkenwell To Englishmen proud
of the achievements of their race that is
truly sacred and historic spot. The me
mortal was erected by the Order of the
Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem. 1t con
sists briefly of a complete restoration of the
defaced panel of armoral shields on the
south side of the gate, and thus restores the
long famous St. Johns gate at Cerkenwell
to its original condition.
After the unwilling the prince distri-
buted the eight medals and certificates of
honor awarded during the year for gallan-
try in saving life on land. To understand
ali this bit of history is necessary. The
famous Order of St. John of Jerusalem,
or knights Hospitallers, had it's origin in
an association formed in the year 1913 by
some merchants to build hospital for pill
grims near the holy sepulcher at Jerusa-
lem. The crusades gradually changed it to
fighting organization, and for 400 years
its history was indeed glorious. 1t held
Malta against all the assaults CT the Turks,
and the order was long known as knights
of Malta
Since Bonaparte took Malta in 1898 the
order has practically ceased to exist, but
the English branch is still a charitable or
ganization. The famous old priory at
Clerkenwell was but partially destroyed
during the raiding ordered by Henry VIII,
and the gate, with the massive walls and
spacious rooms above it, remained in such
solid magnificence that it has ever since
been one Of the great sights of London.
After being used by many owners for diff
ferent purposes, it finally returned to the
ownership of the order, so far as the present
charity organization can be said to repre-
sent it. The gate is now completely re-
stored, and once more trained nurses use
the place for works of charity and mercy

FRANCE AT THE FAIR.
AS USUAL, SHE ExcELs IN THE
FINE ARTS.

Her Influence Pervades the Chicago Ex-
position as 1t Has All Previous Exhibi-
tions-Relics of Lafayette-The Diplomas
to he Awarded to Meritorious Exhibitors.
France pervades the Worlds fair In al
most every department she is well represent
ed, and in many, very many, is pre-eminent.
Art, science, mechanics and agriculture all
admit the potency of her sway, and few Of
the subordinate divisions of the fair are
without the quickening influence of her
spirit. What would a worlds fair be with
out France anyway? She has pervaded
them all very much as she pervades this
one. She would have pervaded them If she
had made no national exhibit, for her influ-
ence as an educator of the nations is plain
ly apparent everywhere.
The French government building is very
modest and not as pretentious as those of
nations of much less prominence. tits but
single story in height and takes the form
of two classic pavilions connected by a
semicircular colOnnade. In the center of
the court surrounded by the colonnade a
pretty bronze fountain plays, and it is on
warm days a shady retreat from the glare
of the sun. The merchants of Paris have
decorated the interior of one of the pavil-
ions with rare Gobelin tapestries, works of
art and choice bric-a-brac, not so much by
way of exhibition as to make a pretty re-
ception hall for visit DIS, who are cordially
welcomed there.
