New York, Dec. 26.-The Suns cotton review says:
 Cotton advanced to points, then lost this and declined 9 to Il points, then ral lied slightly and closed quiet but steady, with sales for the day of d55,200 bales.
 Today's features: Trregularity charac- terized the market today, which was under the influence of conflicting factors, that is to say, there was an early ad- vance, due to small receipts, local GOV ering and some buying by New Orleans and the continent, but later on prices gave way under the influence of large es- inmates for New Orleans tomorrow. Ger man houses sold. There was good deal of switching, many selling January and buying March and May. In a word, it was a small and regular market, so small that anticipations of liberal receipts to- morrow were potent enough to put prices down. although any increase in the re- ceipts is expected to be only temporary.

anxious to see them hung that he
fixed the date of their execution
two days before their right of ap-
peal expired. All the grounds are
purely technical. 1t is such cases
as this that bring the law into dis
repute and force Judge Lynch to
convene his court and deal hastily
with offenders.
Abe Foreman is in luck. He,
Will Nail and Will Thompson
were convicted a few weeks ago of
robbery near Braggs. They
were sentenced to three years each
Since then it has developed that
Foreman was innocent and Judge
Parker set aside his sentence and
ordered him released.
The examination of Ed Reed for
the killing of Zeke and Dick Crit
tenden was concluded Saturday
morning before Commissioner
Wheeler. The evidence showed
that he was justifable and he was
released. Ed regrets very much
that he had to kill Zeke as they
had always been friends, but it was
either that or get killed.
The November term opens next
Monday. The docket is very
heavy but does not contain as
many cases as either the May or
August terms.

The opinion of Judge Springer
in the Hayes case, printed in this
issue of THE CHIEFTAIN, is without
doubt the most important as well
as the ablest opinion of any court
touching upon a similar subject,
yet given out. A more elaborate
and exhaustive analysis of the law,
both Cherokee and United States,
bearing upon the subject of title to
realty and personal property in
the Indian country would be diff
cult to find Judge Springer,
quoting from the Cherokee consti-
tuition, '.The lands of the Chero-
kee nation shall remain common
property, "takes the position, and
it is certainly tenable, that there
is no individual ownership of land
in this country, as the title is
vested in the tribe as common
property, but that the improve
ments are personal property in the
fullest acceptation Of the term. In
this the court is of the opinion that
the personal property of a Cher
okee citizen may be seized and sold
to satisfy judgment for debt due
a United States citizen, the only
qualification being that the sale of
such personal property would
necessarily have to be sold to a
Cherokee citizen. The opinion
states that the right of congress to
subject improvements on lands in
the Cherokee nation, or on lands
in any Indian nation, TO sale for
the payment of debts is clearly
stated and recognized, and should
there be any conflict between the
laws Of the United States and those
of the Cherokee nation, the laws
of the United States must prevail,
thus maintaining the supremacy
ofthe United States laws over any
and all tribal laws that may con-
fict.

THE TRANSPORTATION QUESTION.
Distance Not Factor In Determining
Rates.

Editor Frank H. Greer, OF the
Guthrie Capital, was interviewed
at Galveston last week, while on
the editorial excursion and made
the following oberservations on the
subject of transportation:
oklahoma has become already
a great cotton country We ship
ped out of the Guthrie depo: last
year 5000 bales and will this year
ship out 5000 bales. Oklahoma
as whole will export this year
$4,000 bales. All this cotton comes
to Galveston for export. 1t comes
here because the compresSes are
south, not because the freight
rates are lower. st. Louis is at
deep water on the Mississippi, and
cotton is exported direct from
there to Liverpool. The rate on
cotton from Guthrie to st. Louis,
604 miles, is the same as to Gal
weston, $50 miles--70 cents a nun
dred. The rate on wheat to st.
Louis is q cents per bushel and
exactly the same TO Galveston,
Our corn rate is the same also.
Merchandise rate from St. Louis
to Guthrie is 1.30, and the same
from Galveston. The rate on
flour from Topeka, Kansas, to
Glasgow, Scotland, through New
port News is 80 cents per hundred.
The rate from Topeka to Calves
ton is 45 cents. What hope is
there of turning the commerce of
the western states to southern
ports unless the outrageous rail
way determinations can he stop
ped? None whatever. The east
ern trunk lines have the western
roads bound in an agreed schedule
they dare not break and this
schedule is built to force the long
haul and carrying commerce east.
Distance amounts to nothing in
commerce. The longer the haul
the cheaper the rate. The short
haul is a certain railway cinch.
Wheat is hauled from Chicago to
New York for cents a bushel,
900 miles; from Guthrie to Kansas
City, only 3S5 miles, it is Is cents
bushel, while to Galveston, $50
miles, it Is u cents You can take
bushel of wheat from Kansas or
Oklahoma to New York, 1.760
miles from Oklahoma, for only 3
cents bushel more than it costs
to get it TO Galveston.
Merchandise from New York
TO Guthrie via. water and Calves
ton, should, were the water rates
what they should be, save at least
70 cents per hundred, but not a
cent can be saved thereby. The
merchandise rate is 2.12, whether
by rail direct or by water and rail
by Galveston. Goods can be
brought by rail from New York to
central points in Texas for 60 cents
a hundred less than the same
goods can be brought from Kansas
or Oklahoma to Texas.
"As it is now there is no hope
whatever to turning the grain
trade from the eastern to the south
ern ports. The great elevator here
at Galveston is an example of this.
The fact that the rate from New
York to Galveston, via. rail, is the

Ever since their conviction they

THERE is a discussion going on

make some valuable recommenda-

The ROyaI Snub,

The royal snub is of Jail snubs the
most brutal and at the same time
the most effective unless it be the
papal snub. That Henry of Germa-
ny who stood three days barefoot
in the snow at Gregory's castle gate
after seeking him as a suppliant on
foot over the dangerous snowy
mountain route doubtless felt the
force of a snub more fully than any
unless it we're some of Henry Wits
victims. The Tudor dynasty espe-
cially excelled in the art of snub-
bling, and. it is difficult to determine
whether bluff Hal or his accomplish

suits as excellent iests.-Kate M.

THE OLD MANS STORY.
II Was So Affecting That Several Ladies
Left the Car.

Left the Car.
There were an even 20 people
men, women and children-on a JEFF
ferson avenue car the other after
noon when an oldish man, who was
sitting cross legged about the middle
of the car, suddenly leaned forward
and said to the man opposite:
"Why she bleached her hair no
one could say, but an investigation
showed that it was bleached."
There We're eight women in the
car. Five of them started in surprise
as they heard the mans words, and
of the nine men at least six winked
at each other and smiled.
Eyes, continued the man, with a
touch of pathos in his voice, "her
soul had passed from earth away,
but the body was still there. The
could not understand why a
woman with black eyes and dark
complexion should want to bleach
her hair and come out as a blond,
and no one came forward to enlight-
en- him."
The same five women gave five
more starts, and the same six wicked
men winked and smiled some more.
But there she was" said the
gross legged man, 1.-The seal of death
upon her brow, her heart stilled for
ever and her wealth of strawberry
blond hair still wet with the waters
of the mcrciless river. 1t vas a sight
to touch the hardest heart"
The five women did more than
start in surprise this time. Each one
looked to the rear of the car, as if to
signal the conductor. OF the six men
who had winked and smiled two had
to go out on the platform to see a
man.
Had she a husband?' asked the
man in q lonesome voice. "Was she
a mother? Was her home a happy
one? Then why did she bleach her
hair and become a strawberry blond?
Was it to enhance her beauty? Was
it to make her husband love her the
more? Asa strawberry blond, would
her dear children cling
At that instant five different WON.

In all countries in which the
witchcraft delusion now exists, or in
which it prevailed in former times,
we find folklore stories connecting
those mysterious bogies with the
plants of those particular regions.
Even the great Shakespeare causes
his witches to discourse learnedly on
the diabolical properties of "hem-
lock digg'd i dark and of slips of
yew silvered in the moons eclipse"
They + supposed to have had their
favorite flowers as we'll as plants,
and in England at the present time
foxglove is spoken of as witch
BELLS and harebells as witches

is well known as the witches
horse" the tradition being that they
mounted rank growths of that spe-
cies of weed and rode the Skies, "
just as the dame with the pointed
hat rides the broom in the familiar
picture. In Germany and through
out northern Europe it is the belief
that witches float from place to place
on beds of hay, composed largely of
witches blossoms and"devil spikes, "
