TIE Muskogee Phoenix says
YWe understand that Judge Stuart
ruled in a case in court at South
McAlester last week that an Indian
who has taken she oath of allegi-
ance OF the United States becomes
in every sense a citizen of that
government, with all of the addl-
tional privileges and duties of a
United States citizen. while it does
not deprive him Of the advantages
or responsibilities of Indian citi-
zonship An Indian who has be.
come a citizen of the United States
may sue citizens of the same tribe
in the United States court, or such
citizens may sue him there in like
manner, the same as if he were a
white man. Or he may sue or be
sued in like manner in the Indian
courts. In making this ruling
Judge Stuart reverses the ruling of
Judge Shackeliord, who construed
that the law providing for Indians
to become citizens of the United
States without impairing their In
dian citizenship, only gave them
the additional protection of the
United States in their dealings
with others outside of their own
nation. This is one of the most
important rulings that Judge Stuart
has made and will probably open
up great deal of business to the
court"

THE CHINESE CURE.ALL.

superstitious Belief In the Virtues OF
Ginseng.
To the Chinese ginseng Is whole
pharmacopeia, possessing all the
virtues Of every known medicament,
and they place a high value on IL,
particularly, az curative agent in
dyspepsia, vomiting and nervous dis
orders. They carry IL about with
them, chewing il whenever they feel
the need Of a stimulant, but its chief
consumption is in the form of an in
fusion. The Chinese ginseng differs
slightly in appearance from the Amer
lean root, in being somewhat larger,
and possibly possessing properties not
found in the latter, but each Is almost
identical with the other in shape, and
a description Of the American variety,
10 which botanists have applied the
name aralia quinquefolia, will answer
for both. II Is a species Of panax be-
longing, as its name implies 10 the
natural order araliaca The root Is
perennial, sending np annually a
smooth, round stem, terminating in
branches, which bear compound leaves
OF five leaflets and yellowish green
or white flowers. The American
root. like the Chinese ginseng, or
aralia panax, bears slight resem-
blance 10 the body Of man, with head
and legs Externally IL is OF a light,
brown color, the interior being white.
II has faint, sweetish odor, and its
taste is sweet and slightly aromatic.
It's component parts are starch, gum,
albumen, resin and a sweet principal,
'panaquilon" from panax, a deriva-
tive Of panacea).
Chemical examination has failed 10
substantiate any OF the claims made
for ginseng by the Chinese, and but for
the export trade with that people II Is
highly questionable whether the root
would have any commercial value In
this country. All that European and
American therapeutics are willing 10
concede Is that II may possibly have
some value as mild stonachic. From
colonial times the gathering and pre-
pairing Of the root for market has
formed an important industry In GER
tain parts Of America. II is fonnd In
Canada and thence as far south as
Georgia, nourishing only In the cool
woods OF hilly countries. The method
Of gathering is process Of extermina-
tion, for the root is dug as soon as the

Hen Against Hawk.

George Benefited, near Raymondyllle,
few days ago. An old hen and her
brood, parties of the first part, were
wandering about the yard in search OF
grasshoppers, when big speckled
hawk, party of the second part, sailed
down from neighboring oak and
pounced upon chicken. The old hen
flew to the rescue, and a terrific bat

But for all Captain Wolf was so as
sured that the picture of his air ship
would be self-explanatory, it would
not thus strike the average beholder
ignorant OF the mysteries of sky-sail-
ing. A side view shows an elongated
body, stoutly but lightly ribbed, set
upon plane, being upheld by four
slender legs Beneath it are pipes in
some secret manner responsible for
maintenance of buoyancy, and the air
paddles not unlike the screws of a
small boat. 1t must be confessed
that the air ship in its present stage
does not suggest spin through the

A Deer Among the Cattle.

While big herd of cattle, being
driven from the ranch to market, was
passing through the Snohomish
Valley, Wash, an immense deer, the
largest ever seen in those parts,
bounded out of the woods and joined
the drove. Partly because of the
difficulty of cutting out the animal
from the middle of the herd, where it
quickly worked its way, and partly
through curiosity as to what it would
do, the cowboys did not molest it.
The deer remained quietly walking
with the herd for eight hours, and
finally entered into coral with the
cattle at Snohomish, where it was cap
tured.
