Knows Where to Get Advice.

Jake Dubois, six miles east of town,
is not only good citizen, but has also
the knack of knowing and appreciat-
ing good advice when received from
what he considers capable source.
Not long ago he came very near CIV
ing up handsome sum Of money for
having his large farm surveyed and
plated by a strolling surveyor who
claimed to be authorized to survey
Cherokee allotments. Mr.. Dubois,
like all wise men do, consulted
with his wife, and they together re-
membered seeing something In
The CHIEFTAIN some months ago
touching this very subject; so they
hunted up the paper and found that
The CHIEFTAIN had expressed the
opinion that such survey would be
worthless to the Cherokee citizen, and
that it was wholly unauthorized, and
could not be of any value when the
final allotment of land comes to the
Cherokees. Mr.. Dubois kept his
money and thanked THE CHIEFTAIN
for its timely suggestion.

NINE WERE DROWNED
Out of ID Persons Aboard the
Schooner SpeedWell.

Key West, Fla, March 4.-The schoon-
er SpeedweH. Captain Collier, from
Marco, Fla, for Key West, was struck
by a squat while off Marquesas, IS
miles from here and capsized.
Nine persons were drowned out of Is
on board.
Among the victims were three chill
dren of Captain Collier, George, Tom
and Wilbur, aged respectively four six
and eight, and the entire Nichols fam
lily; Bradley Nichols and his wife, their
son and the latter's wife and two
grandchildren. The family was from
Bridgeport, Conn.
Those saved are: Captain Collier
Samuel Gates, deckhand: Jesse Green,
deckhand; r. w. Bates, of Myers, Fla,
q passenger.
The Nichols family is said to have
for month or two at small hotel
kept by Captain Collier at Marco and
they We're on their way home.
The survivors say the Speedwell was
making slow Roadway against a head
wind. About o'clock Captain Collier
was at the wheel and the Nichols fam
lily and the Collier children were in the
cabin asleep. Suddenly a squat came
rushed to take in sail AS the jib flap
ped loose, the sQuall caught the schOOn-
er and blew her over on the port side.
Collier, the deck hands and Mr. Bates
caught the rigging just in time to save
themselves. The wind, rain and waves
drowned the dying cries of the impris-
oned Nichols family and the Collier
children.
They were -penned in down below like
rats. The wife of the young Nichols,
rose to the skyHght. She waved her
hand to the men in the rigging and that
is the last they saw of her.
The elder Mr.. Nichols was the only
one to get out of the cabin, but he was
swept away and drowned.
The sailors who escaped dashed them
selves to the rigging. After being there
for two hours the sea subsidized. Then
they got the dingy loose, baled her out
with a hat, broke a thwart into two
pieces and with these four oars rowed
toward Marquesas. After going three
miles they were picked up exhausted
by fishing sloop and brought here.
Soon after being brought into port
Captain Collier and Jesse Green went
out on the yacht Buccaneer, accompa-
MED by diver to try to recover the
bodies.

AN AwFUL DEATH
Old Man Dies a Ravlng Hydrophobia
MANIAC in the CoffeYville Jail

The CoffeyvilIe Journal says: One
of the saddeSt and most pathetic Incl
dents that CoffeyVille has seen for a
long time occurred Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning. 1t was the death
of an aged man from the awful disease
of hydrOphOb ia.
The mans name was James Brown
and he was accompanied by his son, a
boy of Is years. They boarded the K.
& A V. passenger train at ClaremOre,
/ T, Tuesday evening and arrived at
Coffeyville at $3.50 p. m.
While in Pittsburg Mr.. Brown was
bitten on the nose one day while play
ing with dog. A few days later the
dog was killed because it was thought
to have hydrOphObia. Unable to find
work in Pittsburg. Mr. Brown and son
left that place Saturday for Sapulpa, I.
T, hoping to get work there on the
Frisco extension.
When Claremore was reached Mr..
Brown began to complain of his throat
being dry and parched; he feared suf-
location and craVed water, but when it
was offered him he became violent.
There is no provision in the Territory
for the city'S care of such cases, so it
was deemed best to send Mr.. Brown to
COffeyville. They boarded the north
bound passenger train but Mr.. Brown
became very violent. He at once jump
ed from the train and ran toward a
bOxcar. The train crew and officers re-
captured him and locked him in a bag
gage car, on his arrival here he was
locked in jail.
The five prisoners became alarmed
and asked to be locked in their cells.
Mr. Brown was left in the jail corridor
in company with his son, who constant
" and patiently attended his father
Later in the night he was placed in the
back cell and constantly kept up his
moaning and crying and strange, inhu-
man noises. He seemed to fear every
thing and would blindly wander from
one side of the cell to the other. His
eyes were CLASSY and his beard became
matted together with froth and blood.
He would cry for help, then fall stumb-
ling backward until recovering his fast
decreasing strength.
At daybreak Wednesday morning the
officers opened the Jail as usual and
found the boy brushing up the cell and
folding up the bedding. His father sat
in the corner of the cell with his head
resting on his shoulder. When the Off
GERS unlocked the cell and started to
awaken Mr.. Brown the boy plead with
them not to disturb his father, but to
let him rest, as he was sleeping. The
officers touched the emaciated body and
pronounced it dead. The boy broke

OPENS A WAR.
Defeated Candidate For Presi-
dency of Venezuela HOSTS
His Standard.

Washington, March 4.-The state de-
partment has been informed that a small
revolution has broken out at Valencia,
about 200 miles from Caracas, capital of
Venezuela.
This is evidently directed against Presi-
dent Andrade, who was only a few days
ago inaugurated as the successor of Pres
ident CrespO.
The navy department was promptly in
formed of the adViceS received by the
state department, which came from Unit
ed States Minister LOOMS at Caracas. He
said however, that there was no neces-
sity for action by the navy department in
ordering warship there. for, perhaps, in
anticipation of some trouble in the inau-
guratiOn of President Andrade, the gov
eminent had arranged the movements of
the cruisers and gunboats in the West In

LOOKS FOR VICTORY.
II. L. Pestana of Russell Says Repub-
leans win Win This Year.

H L. Pestana of Russell who is a
Republican candidate for congress in
the Sixth district, has returned home
after visit among his friends in To-
peka.
Discussing political prospects he said:
81 believe the indications point to a
Republican victory in Kansas this year.
I do not say this because I sincerely
believe in Republicanism, but because
the circumstances seem to justify it.
There is considerable dissatisfaction
with the state administration, although
there are some things which commend
it to many people. The governor has
made mistakes which the members of
his party claim were intentional and
they propose to pay him up at the
polls.
This year think there will be a re-
turn of the great tidal wave to the Re-
publican party and feel confident that
the Republican ticket will be elected by
a large majority.
Il am a candidate for congress in the
Sixth district subject to the will of the
convention. 1 hope to be nominated
but if the people think Mr.. Reeder or
any other gentleman is betted qualified
for the place and his nomination would
be better for the party then I hope he
will be chosen. I am ambitious in this
direction but I would not under any
circumstances permit my personal de-
sires to interfere with the welfare of
the party.

The WaterWOrks Controversy
at Arkansas City Serious.
Almost Successful Attempt to
Destroy the Home OF
RECEIVER OF PLANT.
Fire Started in His Barn De-
strOyS 1t and a Cow.
Observation-Disclosures Said to Have
Been Sent MIR. Hopper.

Arkansas City, March 4.-What has
been feared for some time by the best
citizens of this place came to pass
Wednesday night
1t was new turn in the waterworks
fight and clearly an attempt to burn the
home of the Waterworks receiver, Geo.
Z. Hopper and was nearly successful.
Since the waterworks plant shut down
there has been considerable talk
against Mr.. Hopper and a bitter feeling
has existed as many claimed that he
was responsible for the shutting down
of the plant and could start it up if he
desired.
It is common talk that Mr.. Hopper
had received an anonymous letter
threatening to burn him out if he did
not turn on the water.
The fires tarted in Mr.. HOpper's barn,
and soon spread to Mr. Mead's barn
which adjoins. The building was entire
~ consumed with it's contents. MT
AOpperS COW was burned and his loss
will be about $65, including feed, etc.
Mr.. Mead's loss will be about $50 on
feed and harness. They had no insur-
ance.
The fire is thought to be the work Of
an incendiary. Mr.. Hopper found two
tin cans on the ground which had been
covered by the floor of the barn. He
thinks the cans contained turpentine.
They were the only cans around the
barn before the fire as Mr.. Hopper had
everything cleared off of that kind.
At the time of the fire, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hopper We're not at home, and Mr..
Hopper went into the barn before he
left and saw that everything was all
right. The doors were all locked and
the only way a fire could have started
where it did was by throwing the can,
of turpentine in the window.
Both residences had narrow escapes
from burning and were saved by the
hard work of the crowd there and be-
cause the side of the barn nearest them
burned last, thus making a shield from
the heat. Mr.. Mead's residence was
badly scorched and will need new sid
ing. 1t caught fire once, but was put
out.
Every effort was directed TO saving
the Mead home for it would have meant
the destruction of five 2-stOry dwellings
side by side, if it once got started.
Mr.. Hopper thinks that undoubtedly
the fire was started by some one who
supposed he had control of the water
plant, and this would be a good way to
make him start up the works.

CROSS HEREFORD SALE
One Animal Bid Off for S3,oOo-About
100000 Worth of Cattle Sold.

Emporia, March 4.-The second day of
the sale at Sunny Slope brought many
surprises. Mr.. Murray BabcOck Of
Cheswick. Va, topped the day with a
bid of $4,000 for the imported bull Sails
bury. This bull was probably the very
best of Mr.. Cross importations. He is
only a 2-year-old. .---.
Other large sales of the day were:
Lominster Daisy End, imported COW,
81, 205.
True Briton, imported bull, sold to
John M. Foster, Topeka, 1915.
Archibald VI, bull bred by c. S. Cross,
sold to L. S. Young, Oakland, Neb. 1910.
Weston Stamp, imported bull, sold to
Cornish & Patton, Osborne, Mo, $780,
over 20 animals sold for $500 or over.
A careful tab on the sales so far made
indicates that the average will be $500
each, which will make the sales of the
$50 animals aggregate at least $50, 900.

The Third Annual Fall Festival at
Topeka as pretty nearly agreed on for
1898 will continue four days. This
shortens up the programme, so that it
can be handled to greater advantage.
The Festival will be held in conjunction
with the probable dedication of the
Auditorium. The State Reunion will
probably be held here this year and will
be a part of the Festival. The pro-
gramme as outlined is as followss
Tuesday-Firemen's day.
Wednesday-Floral day.
Thursday-Old Soldiers day.
Friday-DedicatiOn day.
Friday night-The Carnival.
This programme is subject to change
1t is not expected to raise a very heavy
sum for the festivities, most of the eel
ebratiOn being arranged for by private
organizations. The Karniva1 Knights
will take care of the Carnival, and a
