DRIVING ROD BREAKS
 ON 4 LOCOMOTIVE
Disaster on the Southern Pacific, With a Miraculous Absence of
 Casualties =

WOODLAND, Nov. 2S.-Train 50 rum ming between Sacramento and Oroville, met with a serious accident when nearing the end of the trip this morning. It Is mar velous that it did not result in the loss of life. Engine 1359 in charge of Engineer Young and Fireman Scnneideer, was hauling the train. While crossing the first trestle west of Washington the big driving rod on the right side of the en- zine broke about half way between the two driving wheels The forward half of the rod in revolving stripped the branch pipe, leaving an aperture of about two inches through which the steam rushed with roar that could be heard for more than mile.
 Engineer Young immediately applied the emergency air brakes, and the next moment the aft half of the broken rod splinters. It crashed through the right side of the cab, throwing the engineer from his seat to the opposite side of the cab and pitching the box on which the engineer was seated down the grade on the left side.
 The train ran about 200 feet before it ends of the broken rod struck a tie 1t was shivered Into fragments. The noise of the escaping steam and the cloud 1t made about. the engine left the passen- gers in doubt as to what had happened. Conductor Irwin expressed the opinion that the boiler had exploded, but re- Ieyed the anxiety of the passengers by the announcement that both the engf- neer and fireman were safe.
 Conductor Irwin hastened to the Sac ramento yard. and in about fifteen min- utes returned with the switch engine. In the meantime the steam had about all escaped, the broken rod was removed the fragments of the wreck picked up and the disabled engine and train were haul ed into the Sacramento yard.
 The escape of Engineer Young Is con- sidered but little less than miraculous. He was badly shaken and complains of pains in the back, but fortunately no bones were broken and his injuries are not considered serious.

LOUD'S POSTAL BILL
 AGAIN COMING UP
Having Compromised With Publish. CTS, the Author Hopes for
 Ire Do cca0e

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-Congressman Loud has decided to bring up during the coming session his bill regulating second class mail matter. This is well known all over the. country as the Loud bill. It was voted down at the last session, though not defeated outright. It was merely tabled; therefore it will not be necessary to introduce a new bill and have it reported to the House from the Com mittee on Postoff1ces and Postroads It will be called up again, and MT. Loud mas strong hopes it will be passed this time, for the opposition to 1t last session came chiefly from the publishers of periodicals, and MT. Loud believes he has reached an understanding with these publishers whereby they will offer no opposition to the bill which will be modified without detracting from its merit. The bill seeks to put the postal service on a better basis by deriving additional revenue from mat ter which Is now transported in the malls at a loss to the Government.

A Missing Paper.

October oath a subscriber at CoiTey-
vile wrote that he did not get his pa
per regularly-the second complaint.
This letter was referred to the postal
authorities and has just come back
with thirteen communications attach
ed, showing very conclusively the pa
per reaches the CoiTeyville postoflice
regularly, but that at the subscribers
order is frequently taken out by a
neighbor, SilaS Morrison. More mail
is lost by being sent for by another
person, than from all other sources
combined. The postal authorities are
glad to make any investigation which
may result in perfecting the service
but before making complaint il would
be well for parties to satisfy them
selves fully that the fault is not some
where nearer home.

From DR.. Foreman.

DR.. a. w. Foreman, in a letter
written Thanksgiving day. states that
he is getting aloug nicely and will re-
turn home sometime during the first
of the new year. The doctor heard
DIR. Parkhurst preach Thanksgiving
day on the popular topic of national
expansion. During the course of his
sermon the reverend gentleman said:
"We shall have good reason to be
ashamed of our country if, having
possessed itself of the Philippines, it
holds them as its own property. In
regard to that there can be no ifs or
butts
II don't wonder that the Philippines
do not want to be governed by us.
I'd rather be Malay subject to Spain
than an American Indian subject to
the Indian bureau
watching an American official is
the only way to keep him from de-
youring the people he is paid to take
care of. There is no leech that will
draw more blood or leave less life"

Local Advertising.

Men seldom value the use Of local
journalism until some time Of per-
sOnai need. Distance lends enchant-
ment and gives glamour to the land
scape and as the old saw is true: mo
man is a hero to his valet" So home
talent and institutions are under
valued, and men send to the ends of
the earth for news they can get at
home. You lose your purse, away
you fly TO the local editor to find it for
you. You take another mans hat at
a supper only to find the owner of il
had more brains than yourself and YOU
go to the editorial rooms for the Jour
alist TO find the hat suitable TO your
calibre. Our town is live town, full
OF brains and business energy and a
man had better be careful when at a
public gathering not to take hat be-
yond his own circumference. For print
erS ink soon finds him out.

DAWES COMMISSION.
Will Leave for Mississippi on Decem.
ber 18th, TO Treat.

The Dawes commission to treat
with the five civilized tribes OF
Indians and to allot their lands,
will leave December 18th for Pom
totoc, Miss, where they will make
an effort to treat with the Chicka-
saw Indians now remaining in
that country.
The appropriation bill which
was passed by congress, creating
the Dawes commission with power
to allot the lands of the five civil
lied tribes, had a clause, inserted
by the congressman from Miss
issippi, authorizing the commits
sion to visit the old Chickasaw res
ervation in Mississippi. and treat
with those remaining there, buy
their lands and induce them to
move, and on this errand the CON-
missioners start on the 10th of
next month.
When the treaty of 1882 was
concluded, by which treaty the
Chickasaws, in common with the
Choctaws, sold their holdings
in Mississippi, and agreed to
move to their present home in the
Indian Territory, there was pro-
vision in that treaty to the effect
that the members of the tribe de-
string to remain on the old reser-
walton in Mississippi should be al
lowed to do so, and take allotment
of lands. Quite a large body of
the Chickasaw tribe remained be-
hind in Mississippi on the old res
ervation, and with these Indians
the Dawes commission will endea-
vor to treat.
Congressman from Mississippi
presented the statement that these
Indians were a hindrance to the
progress of that portion of the
state of Mississippi where they
are located, and that their removal
by the United States was a neces-
sity. They hold their allotments
under the treaty OF 1882, however,
and as they are apparently well
satisfied with their present loca-
tion it is hardly likely that a trea-
ty with them will be easy. If a trea-
ty is perfected however, it is prob
able that these remaining men,
bers OF the Chickasaw tribe will
come to the Indian Territory.

THE CHEROKEE COUNCIL,
The sColIeCtion Matter in a
See-SaW.
TAHLEoUAH, Nov. 2g. Is!

TAHLEQUAH, Nov. 29. ls9S.
The contest between the NJ, X
Il I. Trust company, represented
by Ed Halsell and DR.. +. B. Fite,
and, Wyly Cox and Robert l..
Owen, representing another syndi-
cate, for a contract to collect the
81, 100000 due the nation under
the Wyly accounting has been
on at Tahleqaah since
the assembling of council
Monday morning The two com
panies are each erdeavoring tn Sc
cure from the Cherokee council
the contract for collecting the s4,-
800, 600 found due the Cherokees
according to what is known as the
WHY accounting.
After a long -drawn-out fight in
the senate yesterday morning
Halseli and Fite succeeded in de-
feating the Owen crowd, but late
in the afternoon Owens friends
defeated the NJ, X. & T. people
in the lower house. So it is a
stand off so far as these two syndi-
Gates are concerned. The chief
objection to Mr.. Owens scheme
seems to be that he is known to
be friendly to the Delaware claim
now pending in the courts for the
segregation of 157, 900 acres of
Cherokee land. The prospect,
however, is good for compromise,
and that some one will be given at
least ten per cent ofthe $4,000, 600
for its collection.
The sentiment amongst mem
bers of both houses and leading
Cherokees on the outside includ-
ing the chief, is to limit the con-
tract to a period of not more than
twelve months IN which to make
the collection, as attorneys here
tofore employed have been in the
habit of laying down upon the job
and doing nothing, simply waiting
to claim their per cent when the
money is paid.

Officer O'Malley. When Kelly
asked for his mail he got a gentle
tap on the shoulder from O'Mal-
ley, who told him he was under
arrest. Kelly is wanted at Vinita
on the charge of adultery and was
followed to this city by Officer
Meeks before he had chance to
arrest him. Officer and prisoner
