Christmas that has ever been
in the territory has Just passed
off here.
The Christmas tree at the
Methodist church under the
management of Mrs. Adams
and Mrs. Nickle was ali that
could be desired. Rev. Vau-
noy invoked divine blessing,
after which several recitations
and songs by the children,
accompanied by Miss Daisy
Fisher on the organ were given.
The distribution of the pres
ents commenced, which was the
cause of much merriment, as
there were many of them, and
if any one failed to get a pres
ent the writer is not aware of
the fact.
1t was the largest crowd of
people ever seen at such a gath
ering in this place and the best
Of order prevailed.
Christmas day was spent in
feasting and music. 1t seemed
as if everybOdy's latch string
hung on the outside, and every
one wanted to see who could
feed the most, nor was this all
the sick that were not able to
be present were remembered
and amply provided for.
At half past g O'Clock in the
evening we all met at the Pres
byterian church where Mrs.
VIM. Rennie had prepared an
entertainment for the amuse-
ment of the people. The recita-
tions and songs were splendid,
! Miss Agnes Fisher presided as
organist. Miss Daisy Fisher,
/ Miss Wiley, Miss Ponder, Col.
Burk and Judge Treadwell
assisted in the entertainment,
Miss Nora lRennie and Miss

Curtis BIN Not Pushed.

A private letter from Col. ID.
M. Wisdom, who is now in
Washington on business con-
nected with the Indian agency,
brings the news that the Curtis
bill, which passed the lower
branch Of congress last year,
will not be concurred in by the
senate in its present form, if at
all. There have been a number
of petitions and memorials for
warded to congress praying the
suspension Of the Curtis bill
and adoption of a measure more
suited to the needs of the peo-
pie of the territory. Since the
five tribes have decided to treat
with the Dawes commission
congress will likely await
further developments before
passing an act affecting the In.

When the girl comes to be woman
look out. If she starts out in vigorous,
womanly health then it is pretty safe to
sa- she will be a healthy, attractive,
beautiful woman.
The beginning of womanhood is the
real crisis in a woman's life. Nearly
always something is wrong then in the
distinctly feminine organs. Maybe IL
isn't very serious-no matter-the time

The consequence was that John DaI-
