The Electric Light is the name of. a
Friendship schooner that arrived in the
harbor yesterday. She was formerly
owned an sailed by Captain Condor, the
genial, popular man, who recently met
his tragic death in the Monterey, that
was run down by the steamer Yarmouth.
Captain Condor had exchanged vessels
with the captain of the Monterey, who
sailed in the Electric. Light. The former
had sailed inthe Monterey, but a short
time and had he remained in his own
vessel would now have. been alive.

The Columbia.

1t has finally been decided that the
name of the new Rines building on Con-
gress street, at the head of Park street,
shall be the Columbia. 1t was talked
at first that this handsome apartment
block should be called the Athens
because the Rines Brothers were born
and brought up in the town of Athens,
in Maine. But it was finally decided to
call it Columbia" because it was start
ed in the Colum bian year.

angle at which it is necessary to fire to
hit his target. This starboard gun is
Driggs-Schoreder one-pounder weigh
ing exclusive of mounting 101 pounds.
Its breech mechanism is operated by
lever at the side which throws down
the breech plug at the same time eject
ing the shell of the discharged cartridge.
The piece was made by the Cramps of
Philadelphia.
The port gun is Sponsel one-pounder,
weighing 118 pounds and manufactured
by the Pratt & Whitney works of Hart
ford. 1t has device somewhat similar
to the others for gauging the wind pres
sure, but differs materially in the
breech mechanism, the breech being
closed by crank which raises and low
ers the plug Both guns are provided
with scales graduated in yards for fix
ing the elevation. That is, to fire at an
object 1000 yards away, the gun would
be raised until the indicator pointed to
1000 ON the scale. Each gun is effective
at any distance not exceeding three
miles. In addition to these guns the Dali
las still carries her two twenty FOUNDERS
Dalgren howitzers.
AT YESTERDAYS TRIAL,
one service cartridge with its steel shell,
which did not of course contain any
explosive. one blank cartridge and five
sub-calibre cartridges were used in each
gun. Lieutenant Hart fired the tirst
shot, a service charge from the briggs
Schroeder gun, the missile throwing up
the spray just under. the target and very
near it. Captain Smyth, who fired soon
after. made bulIs-eye, hitting the
target, but. for the reason already ex-
planned, the majority were all Il little
too low. One, however, took a piece of
bark out of tree on the bank above.
The allowance made for the wind pres
sure in all cases was about right, the shots
falling in line with the target. The dis
tance to the target could be judged only
by the eye, tn gun being trained at ele-
vations calculated to hit objects about
800 yards away. For the benefit of the
calibre cartridge is simply one made
much smaller than the bore of the gun
and inserted in jacket which fills the
breech. Captain Smyth and his officers
were we'll pleased with the trial. With
her four guns, and tn modern maya
zine rifles, and revolvers for the crew, the
Dallas is quite ship of war.

Within a radius Of several hun
dred miles from Vinita there is
probably no town that is enjoying
a more substantial boom thanis
Sloan Springs. This little city
Of fountains, nestled among the
Aills of northwest Arkansas,
almost within a stonesthrow of
the Cherokee nation line, has more
good things to the square inch to
commend it to those in search of
good, quiet spot to stop and rest
through a portion of the heated
term, and drink good pure water,
and breathe fresh air free from
poison and malaria, than any other
place the writer knows Of. And
not only as a health resort is it to
be commended bat to those in
search OF a good business location,
or Investment of capital in real
estate, it certainly at the present
time offers rare inducements. 1t
now claims a population of 2, 500,
has schools and churches, brick
blocks, hotels and many really
elegant private residences. 1t is
twenty-five miles from Benton
vile and about the same distance
from Fayetteville, and is at present
the terminus of the Kansas City,
Fort Scott and Gull railroad. 1t
is in the heart Of the great fruit
belt, The home OF the "big red
apple" and is surrounded by one
of the finest farming sections in
northwest Arkansas. On the
streets of Sloan Springs, any day,
one will meet two to one more

ALL "HoMn PRINT


II is with a sense Of pride and
pleasure that THE CHIEFrArN again
steps to the front and discards the
"patent" sheet and gives to its
patrons an all nome print news
paper. The time when the busi-
ness Of the paper would justify the
change has been looked forward to
with more or less impatience, and
now we are more than happy to
announce the change with the pre-
sent issue.
The advantages to advertisers in
printing the paper all at home is
not easily estimated. There is a
kind of prejudice in the public
against the "patent" outside that
is not easily overcome, notwith-
,standing the fact that the matter
may be entirely fresh and up to
date. But there is an originality
and an unfaded appearance to mat
ter gotten up at home that is the
life OF a local paper.
The rapidly increasing size and
importance of Vinita makes the
change imperative; a bustling,
busy town of 2OO0 people with two
great railroad systems crossing
here, in easy Communication by
wire with the outside world, make
it absolutely necessary to print all
the news, and to print it at home.
As heretofore, the paper editori-
ally, will be a reflex Of the prog
ress of the times, and will deal
with what it considers the living
issues that confront the Cherokees,
honestly, candidly and fearlessly.

was thickly strewn over all. This
covering confined the steam which
the moisture from the clans gem
Grated and which served to cook
the "bake," fifty minutes being
allowed for this purpose. The
dignity and the self.importance
with which the boss presided over
the preparation of that "bake"
would discount Rab Rogers or one
Of our Grand river friends while
officiating at a barbecue. 1t was
the first spread of the season and
the old mans mind wandered
back to the great days of the Mon
mouth race course when such
auspicious occasions followed each
other, much to his profit and
pleasure, in rapid succession.
"Don't get excitedl," " he implored
his assistants, in tones which
could be heard half mile.
Long tables had previously been
spread under the great apple TT ees
and when the steam cooked dinner
was ready it was served 10 courses,
clans with a dressing Of butter
first and lobster last. 1t was all
perfectly cooked and delicious,
but that fish-well there are no
adjectives in the English language
toothsome enough to describe its
excellence The clans are differ
ent from what we get in the west
ern cities and that strong flavor is
altogether wanting. Rhode Island
is given the credit OF being the
home of the clam bake but two
gentlemen from that state who
were present declared that because
of the butter dressing this was the
most delicious spread of the kind
they had ever attended. NJ. Il. NJ.

ONE of the best things about al
lotment is that it does not rob any,
body of their right, but equalizes
and insures every one protection
in the ownership of their own pro-
perty as individuals. Holding
land in common at the present
stage of the game means that a few
people are to be allowed to own
and use somebody else's land.
The injustice of the system is too
apparent to need any demonstra.
tion whatever.

WHITE ADOPTED CITIZENS.
Resolutions Passed at FIT. Gibson
July ID, 1894.

WHEREAS, The Cherokees have
been divided by acts of the Nation
al council passed in the last few
years and the adopted citizens
placed on separate census rolls
from that of the native Cherokees,
and have been denied the right to
participate in the distribution of
the proceeds from the sale of a
portion of the Cherokee coun-
try, and
Whereas, The constitution of
the Cherokee nation and the treat
les made with the United States
guarantee to the adopted citizen all
the rights of native born Chero-
KEGS except the right Of being prin-
cipal chief, and those rights have
been denied by an unconstitutional
act of the Cherokee council there
by disuniting the Cherokee peo-
pie ard dividing them by class
legislation at a time when union
was worst needed, and
Whereas, The action of the
Cherokee council has been very
unsatisfactory to the adopted citi-
zens and in violation Of the prom
ises made in the platform Of the
Downing and National parties and
contrary to the recommendation Of
the three last chiefs, and has
caused a feeling of uneasiness in
the the minds Of the adopted citi-
zens in regard to their future
Therefore, be il
RESOLVED, By the adopted citi-
zens of the Cherokee nation, in
convention assembled at Ft. Glib
son that we condemn the action Of
the national council as unconstitu-
tional, unwIse and unjust in divid.
ing the Cherokee people into
classes. believing a divided people
cannot stand.
Resolved second, That we do
not believe this 10 be the will of a
majority OF the Cherokee people,
therefore we will unite ourselves
into a party for the purpose Of
throwing the strength of our whole
vote TO the party or man that we
think favors our cause; old party
difference shall be forgotten; and
we propose to create a party with
equal rights TO all and special
privileges to none;" and we fur
ther pledge ourselves one 10 an
other that we will not vote for or
sustain in any way whatever any
party or individual that fayors
making a difference in any way
whatever in the rights of citizens
OF the Cherokee nation, only such
as those mentioned in the consti-
ton; and we invite all lovers Of
liberty and constitutional rights TO
join US.
Resolved third, That If il is
proven that we have not. equal
rights under this government with
other citizens, then this govern
ment is not ours aud we have no
part in it, but will endeavor and
assist in establishing a government
that will make all her citizens
equal. WIN. JACKSON,
