Large Shoe Order.

The formation of manufacturing
combinations has led to the organiza-
tion of retail combinations and a
great deal Of the trade OF the west aud
southwest has come to be done by
what are termed syndicates. The
orders of these combinations are very
large and it is fair to say the goods
and prices of the firm securing them
are the best which their very shrewd
buyers can discover. Last January
the Golden Rule syndicate, having
ninteen stores through the west,
placed its entire shoe order with the
Perers Shoe Company, of St Louis,
represented in this section by Col. j..
w. Jump, he of exuberant spirits and
always affable manner, and the same
was the case last week with the win
ter order, the amount being $4,000.
The Jumbo Store is the exclusive
sellers of the Peters shoes in this city
and they cut them to pieces and DO
everything else necessary to satisfy
themselves and the trade they are all
right.

In taking charge of Willie Halsell
College, wish to say to our patrons
and friends that the building and
grounds are being materially improv-
ed: new furniture and carpets will
be put in, and neither pain nor ex-
pense will be spared to make the
school a success. The services of
Prof. Jno. B. Bishop, NJ. A. have been
secured for the department of Latin,
Greek and German. Prof. Bishop is a
graduate of Southwestern university
and spent one year in Vanderbilt uni
versity. All our teachers have had
experience in their respective depart
ments, and we think we have as
strong faculty as can be found in
the territory. B. r. MORRISON. Pres.

How to DO 1t.
VINITA, |. T., Aug.

NINITA, /. l., aug. L.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-My excuse
for this communication is that all
the men in town seem to be talk
ing city politics, and as we women
are not allowed to vote, or have
anything to say as to who shall
run for office, ! will have my little
saw through THE CHIEFTAIN,
which by the way has never stood
for anything other than good
morals and especially temperance.
OF course, l know that Ninita
has large number of men who are
big-hearted and noble and strong
and true and-I had liked to have
said brave, but it appears to US
women that if they were really
brave, they would just take the
dissolute and bad element in this
town that has run things SO long,
by the throat and, figuratively
s.; eaking, strangle it to death, and
put the best and the cleanest men
in the town in the offices.
A gentleman said the other day;
"Oh, we will have to compromise
with these fellows and try to get q
few good men in office; if we don't,
they'll beat US. l don't know, but
maybe l imagine it, but | believe
that he just looked a little bit
"sheepish" and ashamed when he
made that remark, and really |
didn't think it was bit brave.
But how can we make a model
city government?
iii tell you how we women
would do it. We wouldn't vote
for any man who had run saloon,
or allowed one to be run in one ol
his buildings. We wouldn't vote
for any man who would rent one
of his houses to women who are
known to be leading lives OF
shame. We wouldn't vote for any
man who had ever been seen going
about the streets blear-eyed and
walking at a staggering, uncertain
gait. We wouldn't vote for any
man who protanes the name OF
God ON the street corners in the
presence of little boys, or mayhap
passing ladies; we just wouldn't.

FEATHERS OF GREAT PRICE.
Rare Plunder from Birds-Invoice OF
Aigrettcs Worth over Five
Million ReIs.

Many curious things go through the
appraisers stores, and some of the
most interesting through the Fifth di-
Vision, where millinery goods are ex-
amined and appraised. All sorts OF
birds and feathers are examined by this
division. Within a few days several
arge boxes were examined, each con-
tanning something like 500 stuffed par
oquets. A box was opened this week
In which ii was estimated there wese
nearly 5000 Japanese swallows. These
little birds are caught by the japanese
In immense numbers by means of nets.
Their plumage is very plain, but their
wings. which are extraordinarily long,
make them especially valuable to mil
liners. The birds when imported are
rudely stuffed with cotton, and each
one is made up into little roll about
the size and shape of an ordinary cigar.
Before being used they are twisted into
various shapes and dyed, the wings
spread and new feathers added, and
they are made into gay and fancy
birds.
The most valuable kind of feather
goods that passes through the apprais-
er's hands is undoubtedly the aigrette.
This feather Is worth more than its
weight IN gold. The aigrette is OBJ
tanned from a bird called the egret,
found in China, Japan, Egypt and South
America, and sometimes in Florida
Some of these feathers come directly
from South America, where, along the
upper waters of the Amazon, the In
dians shoot the birds with blow tubes
and small arrows. But Paris Is the
market Of the world for aigrettes, 1usi
as London is for ostrich plumes, ana
the greatest part Of the imports come
directly from the French capital. WITH
In the past two months aigrettes to the
value of 1000 have been imported.
There are two varieties or aigrette'
the long and the short, and their value
is in inverse proportion TO their size
The short variety, which Is obtained
from \ smaller bird, is extremely deli
cate and fine, and is worth from S2s
70 s25 per ounce. Only few feathers
In each bird are valuable, and it is es-
timated thnt 0O Of w oAAus "O"AN NV
TO be killed to obtain an ounce of the
shorter aigrette. The lorg aigrette is
worth not much more than half as
much.
These feathers are looked after as
carefully by the appraisers as are pre-
cious stones. They are imported in sol
dered tin boxes, and are locked up
and guarded until they are examined
They are invoiced in the Brazilian unit
of value, reis, which is very small, sc
that figures giving the value of the
imports are often startlingly large.
One importation Of these feathers was
recently invoieed TO the value of $685.
600 reis, an amount which in American
gold is equal to about SlOO.-N. Y. Mail
and Express.

Fire at NOwata.

Nowata suffered by fire Thursday
night last. A row of buildings across
the street from L. A. Keys, and to
the south, some twelve in number,
most of them inferior, were burned.
The fire originated in the back room
of Dodge & Kinkade's grocery, and
this building and one occupied by the
Racket store were the only especially
valuable ones destroyed. The loss of
Dodge & Kinkade was 1880 with
$500 insurance; of the Racket store
5000 with $3.50 insurance.

A GENUINE TOWN MEETING
Assembled En- Masse, the People
Select a Full Ticket.

Last night at the United States
court room in this city was assembled
perhaps the most representative gath
ering of the kind ever held in Vinita.
1t was. one of those typical ''tOwn
meetings" that are heard of oftener
than seen. One hundred and seventy
two citizens of the town were present
and voted, and every Interest in the
town was represented, from the hum
blest day-laborer to the largest proper
ty owner of the municipality.
The object of this mass convention
was for the laudable purpose of NOM
mating a ticket of a mayor, recorder,
and five aldermen, to be voted for at
the city election which takes place on
the 10th instant.
Lawyer VIM. Millette was called
to the chair and presided with fair
ness and dignity, and the men selected
for the various offices will, if elected,
without doubt place the city upon a
better footing than it ever was in its
history. So long as the citizens of
this town attend the town meeting,
en- masse, as they did last night, and
show the enthusiasm they did, the
town need have no fear as to the ad-
ministration that is to follow. As
was very fittingly stated by the chair,
the people of Vinita would not toler-
ate or permit any other than first
class city government. 1t was Just
the kind of meeting THE CHIEFTAIN
has been urging for years, and we
know that the results can only be
beneficial.
The voting was by ballot and every
man was required to march to the
front and deposit his ballot in the
presence of the whole convention, so
that every one could see who were
voting. The vote when counted stood
as follows:

City politics may reasonably be said
to be at fever heat. Thursday night
last a democratic mass meeting was
held and committee selected for the
purpose of comforting with a similar
delegation on behalf of the republi-
cans, with view TO forming a ticket.
Tuesday afternoon the republicans
met and decided TO take no part in
any such arrangement.
