From the Boston Transcript: Great
Britain's national flag has been called
"a triplet of crosses" for it is composed
of the cross of St. George, the cross Of
St Andrew and the cross of st. Patrick.
Thus, the flag of "St. George for Mer-
rie England" red cross on a white
ground, the red lines drawn straight
from top to bottom and from side to
side; the flag of st. Andrew for Scot
land, white cross on blue ground;
the flag of'St Patrick for Ireland, a red
cross on a white ground. the narrow
red lines drawn from corner to corner.
BY placing the cross of st. George on
that of st. Andrew we have "the Jack, ;"
as ordered in 1906 by James l., whose
signature was always Jacques" hence
the expression ''the jack" BY laying
the cross of st. Patrick over that of st.
Andrew and then placing that of ST.
George over both we have "the union
jacl1" as borne since the union with
Ireland in 1900.

In troublous times the wisest and
best OF men and women are preserved
from inward disturbance and insanity
because they fully believe in the silent
activity and supremacy OF truth and
goodness. They see that in this human
world of ours there is great deal going
on besides disorder and corruption, vio-
ience and misery. The late Doctor Fur
ness OF Philadelphia, once said to a
friend. "The devil makes much noise
and show with his work, and alarms us
all; but God is silently busy all the time
in world He has made to His own
hand; and He does infinitely more
while we think nothing about it."

The convention of representatives
appointed by five Australian colonies
to draw up bill for the constitution
OF an Australian commonwealth has
concluded its labors, and the bill was
submitted to a plebistice vote On
June in four colonies, and on June
in the fifth. The bill contains some
manifest imperfections, the different
colonies or States" as they are to be
called, having refused to place their
railways under one federal control and
to transfer the administration of their
public debts to the federal govern
ment. The right of the federal gov
eminent to tax is also greatly limited,
the colonies shrinking from entrusting
too much financial power to it. Owing
to these defects section of the COM
munity is averse to accepting the bill.

Senator Baker of Kansas has in
trOduced a bill to authorize the
"South McAlester Electric Light
and Power Company" to construct
and MAINTAIN a plant at South Nc
Alester. The bill empowers this
company to construct and MAINTAIN
plants at South McAlester and

laws and customs of the respective
Indian nations, in which it may
operate, sufficient grounds for the

introduced last week by Senator

sons in the Choctaw, Chickasaw
and Cherokee nations; and the
Chickasaw nation against The Uni

he had left. There was a great de-

The NOwata Tragedy.

KINNIsoN, 1. T., Feb. u.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN.
News reached here Wednesday
evening of the double killing al
Nowata on Tuesday the Sth inst.
One of the victims being James
Dyer,-sol of Ii. h. Dyer, living
-four miles west of this place. He
lived with his father, who moved 10
this country from Indiana when
James was a boy. He was an in
dustrious hard working young man
20 years of age, but had taken to
drinking within the last year; 9TH
erwise he was a good boy. He
was married three weeks ago to
Miss Mettie Perry of Clear Greek.
He and young man by. the name
of Jack Cotton hired to one of their
neighbors who moved to Oklahoma
10 drive cattle and on their way
back stopped at Nowata and bought
whisky from some of Nowata's in
habitants which was the cause that
led to the killing. His father re-
ceived telegram from the mayor
of Nowata late Wednesday evening.
He al once started to Nowata after
the dead body of his son, accom-
panied by three of his neigh bors,
returning with the corps at three
O'Clock Thursday night, which was
buried in the Lake creek cemetery
Friday evening west of Bartlett,
Kansas, a number of relatives and
friends being present. His parents
are almost prostrated with grief
over the affair; they have the SYM
pathy of the community, as Mr..
Dyer is one of our best citizens,
also a deacon of the Baptist church |
at Newhope.
There is so many conflicting sto-
ries, it is hard TO get the facts con-
cerning the killing. The young
mans father says his face was
beaten up so badly that he was al
most unacceptable, which was
done at the time be was killed.
We hope this will be a warning TO
other young men in this country
who are in the habit OF drinking
whisky and carrying deadly weap-
ms, before 1t brings them to some
,ad end and brings sorrow and
rouble to their parents which time
an never heal. a READER.
