MENTS.


VINIrA, l. T., June 20, 1898.
To the officers and members of Vinits
Lodge, l. o. o. F.
Your committee begs leave to submit
the following report on the death of our
beloved brother, Henry c. Cook:
After the lodge learned of the death of
Brother Cook, and we had been appoint
ed as committee on arrangements, we
wired Mrs. Cook. wife of the deceased, at
Kirksville, Mo-, expressing our sympa-
thy, the sympathy OF our lodge, and of
the grand lodge of the Indian Territory,
and asked permission to take part in the
burial ceremonies. We then made ar
rangements for transportation for all Odd
Fellows of the Indian Territory, includ-
ing the Daughters of Rebecca. We re-
ceived no answer to our telegram to Mrs.
Cook. We then went to Oswego, Kan
sas, where the deceased was TO be buried,
and were met there by the Odd Fellows
of that city, who did all they could to as
sist us in our work; we were also met by
part of the committee from the Masons.
This committee informed us kindly, but
firmly, that they would not take any
part in the ceremonies with us; that they |
would have full charge of the burial or
would have nothing to do wi it. If |
they could not have full che se, they
would not even go as an escor-- At this
action we were surprised, and sent a
brother of the deceased, who was an Odd
Fellow, and not Mason, to Mrs. Cook,
wife of the deceased, to ask her what her
wishes were in the premises. He report
ed that il was her desire to have the
Alasons conduct the ceremonies. This
left us no alternative but to wire the Off
GERS and lodges of the Indian Territory
the facts in the case, which we did at
once. The result was, the Odd Fellows
did not attend. Had they attended, we
think they would have numbered from l.
200 to 500 members.
We want it understood that we were
kindly treated by the committee from
the Masons at Oswego, Kansas, that is,
they were friendly and courteous to us,
but firm in their view of the matter. We
make no complaint of any one: we SIM
ply report the facts.
Henry {. Cook was our brother, known
and loved by US throughout the Indian
Territory, and our order sought only to
pay tribute of its affection and esteem
o him who had taken his chamber in
he silent halls of death;" to him who
lad entered that borne from whence
10 traveller has yet returned" We were
lenied this privilege, denied this token
,f respect for our dead.
Henry G. Cook was noble, kind
hearted, peace-loving, manly man. He
was an Odd Fellow, Jealous i'll the cause,
faithful TO his precepts, and devoted to
he welfare of the order
This matter is deeply regretted by us,
md by our order, and if this is the spirit
of Masonry, we trust that the dawning of
1 day is not far distant when sweeter,
lobler, better spirit and feeling of bro
herhood will animate and pervsde the
minds and hearts of our brother order.
Most respectfully submitted,
w. J. BURNETT.

A sad accident occurred here
yesterday morning as the east
bound freight came into the depot.
w. H. Moore, an aged man, who
is very hard of hearing, went to
cross the railroad track, not seeing
the train as he started across. The
COW catcher struck and knocked
him down. He was dragged for
several yards and his left arm was
broken in two places, above the
wrist and next to the shoulder.
Owing to the condition of the
weather and Mr.. Moore's age, it is
very critical case. The physi-
clans have not yet discovered any
internal injuries and we hope to
learn of his immediate recovery.

company possessed adjoining property
and the claim was made by the Drum
Lummon that IL moved Its stakes over
30 feet so as TO take in that much OF

company applied for a patent. the other
company filed an adverse claim respect

also built some school houses. which
the Americans are willing 70 take over

The Spanish commissioners listened
attentively, though not without some
evidences OF impatience and surprise at
the financial suggestions in the Ameri-
can presentment. and finally asked un-
til Friday to consult the Madrid gov

was then taken to that day.
After the conference was dissolved.

Tonight the Spanish commissioners
feel that the United States TO all in

financial inducement to Spain to cede

Santiago. Oct. H--Senor Bartholomew
Masso. president OF the Cuban provisional
government administrative council. has
issued an address to the delegates now At
the military assembly at Santa Cruz del
Sur I'm which he reviews the considera-
tions upon which the Cubans solicited me
help of the United States. and indicates
their wishes of future policy. The address
In part is as follows:
''The Cubans accepted the assistance Of
America, although not knowing exactly
what were the American aims. just as
they would have accepted help from any
country In their fight against Spain. As
the contest progressed the Cubans In the

Nevertheless. II has not been possible

Cuban and American governments for the
transaction of the public business al
though the general character of our rela-
tions throughout the war were friendly.
But we have now reached q time when
even more than in the days OF fighting II
is incumbent upon all Cubans to show
