why He Resigned.

Hon. d. NJ. Evans, of Audenried, who last
Monday accepted the position of fire boss at
the MOrea colliery, has rendered his resigna-
tion from the place. The reason he gives for
the step is that the company wanted him to
insist upon the miners standing timber with
out compensation. Mr.. Evans is succeeded
by Polish fire boss who formerly resided il
this town.

company with Borough Solicitor Burke,
visited the office of Justice Toomey in re-
sponse to the suits instituted by Solicitor
Burke, in behalf of the borough, TO recover
car taxes due from the companies The
claim against the Lakeside company, which
amounted to $50, was paid, with the costs of

made an offer of that amount with the costs
of suit. The case is stayed until the matter

No Election After All.

Claremore had city election under
the Arkansas law billed for Tuesday
of last week, and a full and anxious
set of candidates for the various offices
were groomed aud in waiting for the
race. They were, however, notified
late Monday afternoon by Judge
Thomas that the election could not
proceed: that the injunction issued by
Judge Springer some time ago had not
been dissolved nor modified. Clare
more organized under the Arkansas
laws year or two ago, and both the
Cherokee and the U. S. municipalities
ran for time with much contention,
and finally the United States organi-
zation was enjOined from acting, and
the Cherokee government was in op-
Grafton till the first of January last.

A Great Trade Center

The opinion has gone far beyond the
confines of the Cherokee nation that
Vinita has pretty smart set of adj
vertiSers. And there is not one of
them but knows he is not throwing
away his money. Because of the fact
that all are pulling their pound"-
not waiting like carrion crows for
some one else to turn the trade to
town-their efforts have been trebly
effective, and the country now tribu-
tary to Vinita in a business way has
gone clear beyond natural bounds.
There is probably not a place within
a hundred miles where goods are sold
so cheaply as at Vinita, and the class
OF goods carried is excelled nowhere in
the southwest. For these reasons it
is not surprising that such a great
trade is always enjoyed by our mer-
chants.

Qesarva Prosecution.

Two men having with them boy
about twelve years old, camped on the
outskirts of this town Monday after
noon of this week. They were observ-
ed to have a very good team, wagon
and camp outfit. Soon after going
into camp the boy was sent out to beg.
He was very ragged and put on an ap-
pearance Of great poverty, asking a
nickle from those he met to so toward
purchasing a pair of shoes he said, for
his mother who he represented as be-
ing sick and destitute. On being
questioned closely the little fellow
acknowledged that the men had sent
him out to beg for them and that they
were not suffering as he at first stated.
Such rascals ought TO be arrested and
put TO work on the rock pile.
