CHEROKEE COUNCIL.

y. w. C. Duncan returned from
Tahlequah Tuesday night where
he had been attending the extra
session of the Cherokee council.
Council adjourned Tuesday for a
day or two on account of the Ma
tional nominating convention at
the Tucker Spring ten nj les north
west of Tahlequah, at which place
candidates were to be named for
chief, assistant chief and circuit
judges by the National party. Mr..
Duncan thinks that there has heen
a reversion of sentiment to some
extent among the fullbloods in ref
erence to the Curtis bill. Some of
the leading fullbloods are now
talking in favor of trying to effect
a treaty with the Dawes commits
sion, more favorable than the Cur
It's law.
There seems TO be gradual in
clination among the fullblood ele-
ment to submit to what they now
consider the inevitable, and to
agree to allotment and a relin-
quishment of tribal relations.
The chief submitted the Curtis
law in full to the two houses of
the council for their consideration
and information, and suggested a
commission to attempt to treat
with the Dawes commission.
Arrangements are being made to
file suit against the Delawares ac-
cording to the provisions of the
Curtis law for the recovery of the
157. 500 acres of land set apart for
them. Another week will prob
ably bring the final adjournment
of council.

NOW THE DEWEY SKIRT.
IL Takes the Place of the spanish
Fiounce, mt One Time in Such
Great Vogue.

Long before the present war was
thought of a fashion was introduced
here which, first spoken of, was de-
eisred by the women altogether out OF
the question. 1t was a skirt cut in the

1t was the triumph Of the season. Moth
ing in the way of a skirt ever before
created such furore.
Then came the war with Spain, and
the women asked: "Shall we continue
to call this mode, the greatest success
of many seasons, by the name of that
hated race which we are doing our best
TO wipe off the face of the globe?"
Certainly not!" was the prompt an
swer.
what shall we call IL? What can
we call 1t which will symbolic it's un-
precedented victory?" were the next
questions. And some women imbued
with patriotism and genius declared
1t should be called The Dewey skirti"
So the horo of Manila and the heroine
of the mode bears the same name. Like
the commander Of the Asiatic feet who
swept everything before him at the
Philippines, the Dewey skirt has swept
everything before II in the world of
fashion, and the women could hardly
pay greater compliment to the brave
rear admiral than by naming their VIC

THE JIM TITLE JUDGMENTS.

The present political campaign
in this city has brought to the
front an issue that will doubtless
have Its weight in turning the tide
of the battle next Tuesday-tne
judgments held against the old in
corporation, aggregating several
thousand dollars, by James NJ.
Title.
The manner in which these
judgments were attained, and the
efforts that have been made to COL
lect them from the taxpayers OF
Vinita, is a part of the history OF
the town. That they are unjust
and should be resisted by every
good citizen of this municipality
will readily be conceded.
That Mr.. Title intends to urge,
and compel if possible, the liquid
alton of these judgments by the
new incorporation there can be no
doubt, and that his sympathies
are with the so-called Democratic
ticket in this city election is well
known. The personnel of the two
tickets stand as an infallible proof
that he would have no pull with
the one, and that he might have
with the other.
Political thought and action,
with perfect freedom, is the herit-
age of every man, but reason
should not be clouded, nor calm
judgment set aside by the bitter
ness of partisan politics. The
ticket that has, either sought or
unsought, secured the support Of
Mr.. Title and his friends contains
the names of some of our very best
citizens, but it cannot be denied
that such might be in hopeless
minority should the entire ticket
succeed at the polls.
This subject narrows itself down
to single proposition. The Tit
tie Indebtedness will have to be re-
sisted by the incoming admins
tration. 1t is with the voters next
Tuesday to say who will make the
resistance.
Doubtless the object of all the
men on both tickets who are now
running for Office is substantially
the same, namely, the general pro-
gress and ell-being of the town.
1t is only question of ability and
it will be the duty of the people to
select by their votes, the men
whom they think will do them the
most good.

remaining through the entire pro-
ceedings. D. w. Vann and
Isaiah and Dee Hollis, of the same
place, accompanied him.
Bros. Clawson, of the Indian
Mason, very properly have missed
little of the proceedings. They
are issuing a very creditable jour-
nal and its value is coming rapid
ly to be appreciated by the frater-
nifty.
The address of Grand Orator
Furman was very highly commen-
ded. 1t was certainly scholarly
and able effort and calculated to
elevate all who heard it or shall
hereafter read it in the grand lodge
proceedings.
Saturday night was the regular
communication of Vinita Lode No.
Is. With the grand lecturer and
custodians in the most important
stations w. S. Maloney, of Blue
jacket, was "raised" to the august
degree of a master Mason.
The badges are a lapel button
or medallion with small blue
streamer. In the center of the
button is the Masonic emblem and
around the edge "Grand Lodge,
Vinita, 1. t., $685." Four hun.
dred of the badges were procured
for the occasion.
| Grand Lecturer B. G. Martin,
OF Healdtown, and Custodians L.
D.Swink, of Poteau, WA. Mcbride
of Atoka, and John K. Chiffon, o.
Rush Springs, were among the
| first to get here, having come or
Wednesdays train. But the ad'
vent of those having the work
in charge was the signal for
general assembling of the craft, ,anc
the enthusiasts from out Of town
"showed up" almost simultan
eously.

DEFEATING A PRIVATEER.
An Interesting Incident I'm the Early
Naval Career of n Famous
British Seaman.

The New England privateer contests
in the long ago gave a distinguished
officer of the royal navy his first cppor
tunity. Charles Wager was the nephew
of John Hull, a Newport merchant. H,
was with his uncle in one of his yes
sells when she was threatened by {
French or Spanish privateer. There i.
a well-attested tradition that Wager
only lad, but high-mettled, persuaded
the peaceful, nonresistant owner TO re
tire TO the cabin and give him control o,
the vessel.
Charles mustered the crew--they
were always armed-and handled then
so bravely and skillfully that the at
tacking party was baffled. The ole
Quaker's anxiety prevailed over hi.
principles, and, coming ipto the com
panionway, he stood taking snuff anC
watching the fight. As he was below
the level of the combatants, he coulC
well see the effect of the firing.
His interest grew and his excitement
waxed high as the contest went on. II,
took pinch after pinch of snuff in mos
wasteful fashion; his usually immacu
late waistcoat became recklessly pow
dered. Finally he cried ont:
Charles, If thee means TO hit that
man in red jacket thee had better
raise thy piece little!"
The attack was repulsed and the gal.
liant Charles was commended by hi.
uncle with: Thee did well. Charles
thee did well. but fighting is wrong
Still, Charles, if thee had let them whir
/ could have flung thee overheard"
Through his friends Wager obtained
a post in the royal navy, ending his
honorable career as Sir Charles Wager
first lord of the admiralty, and finally
with a monument in Westminster alb.

THERE is a good deal of bitter
ness being manifested by few
persons on both sides in our city
campaign that could very properly
be dispensed with. Men who are
not libeaal enough to accord fair
treatment 10 their opponents, and
who insist on Juggling In their per-
sonal grievances, are not the kind
of men TO conduct elections. 1t is
a good time for the sober, thought
ful portion of our people to check
the rising ambition of the boomer
element, led by a few transient
fellows. before serious harm is
done. Freedom and citizenship
in some men are mistaken for
license to destroy all existing con-
dititions and rush into a more ex-
citing existence. Put the break
on these fellows, effectually.

Mrs. Wales and Dnughters' ~

When in the country the princess OF
Wales delights in making little expedi-
tions incognito. An amusing and true
story has just leaked out about one of
these impromptu excursions at Sand
ringham. Her royal highness, with the
two princesses, had driven long dis
tance from home in her favorite pony
cart. and as lunch drew near they were
glad TO put up at picturesque village
inn. The landlord had his suspicious as
10 who his guests were, and after lunch
had been served brought the visitors
book. Whereupon the princess, not to
be outdone. made the following entry:
Mrs. Wales and two daughters."-N.

CITY politics has been at white
heat in Vinita for the last ten days
and the campaign is now on, and
in full blast. Two Tickets are in
the field, and as far as we can
judge, the city government would
be very safe in the hands of either
ticket should it be elected as a
whole. The citizens of the place
have at last awakened and the re-
suit can only be beneficial. An
efficient city administration is as
sured.
