The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1898-10-21

Of these residents Of the Indian
Territory it IS something different.
1t would, TO quote Judge John r.
Thomas expressive language,
make a craven image drunk
Two bottles as sold to consumers
would inspire Bacchus to dance.
The hop tea and tonic exhibited in
court are not the hop tea and tonic
which will fill the glasses of the
patrons Of the joints. Judge
Thomas has given the subject
thorough investigation. He has
discovered that there are several
ways in which the joint keepers
give the tonic its s"body." One
of the most common is to keep a
bottle Of Jamaica ginger or capsi-
cum within reach Of the drinker-
When1a glass of tonic is poured
out little Of the Jamaica ginger,
is poured in. The result is all
that the. worst drunkard can crave.
Along the Arkansas and Verdigris
rivers grow what are called coffee
beans. They are gathered and
crushed. An extract is obtained.
This is kept by the joints. Five
drops of it added to II glass OF hop
tea or. tonicNdoes the business.
Another device is the addition of
the juice of the fish berry, Some
of the tonic comes into the terri
tory doctored to produce, the
drunken state. That which is re. :.
ceiyed in the pure condition, if
that description will apply, is
made Intoxicating by the. addition
of various drugs. The result of
looking upon the tonic when it is
fixedsis not q plain drunk. These
drugs do more than produce nn-
consciousness. They inspire dew
iltry.n
"They make a man crazy"
Judge Thomas says. "After two
or three drink of therstuff q man is
ready to go out and steal hogs or
commit murder"
Having reached this conclusion
from considerable observation, the
Judge has decided that the hop tea
and tonic joints are illegal, and he
is clearing them out as fast as
he comes to town to hold court.
Over at Tahlequah, the Cherokee
capital, six of these places were
doing fiourishing business when
court opened tbs other day. Ten
or dozen men were reeling about
the streets. In one hour after the
judge had charged the jury as to
the offense of selling these bever-
ages and had instructed that in
dictments be found, all of the
joints were out of business. One
man went to another part of town
and opened, with the boastthat he
had influence enough to run in
spite of the court. He was,
promptly indicted and brought in.
Notice was served upon him that
he would be reindicted daily if be
continued in the business, and that
his bond would be increased in
geometrical progression for each
succeeding offense. The last joint
was closed. And then the Chero-
kee ladies adopted resolutions Of
Endorsement, called upon the Judge
and thanked him for his action. -

tions. The 'bootlegger' will dis
appear. Opening Of the resrva-
tions means great changes for the
Indian Territory. One of the
greatest will be in the character of
the liquor traffic For sixty
years the government has enforced
prohibition. Congress made it a
crime to carry intoxicating liquor
upon any Indian reservation, and
another crime TO sell II to any In
dian anywhere Heavy penalties
were prescribed. Judicial ma
chinery Of the government was APP
piled without regard for cost to
make the law effective. The in.
spiration for this legislation was
well understood at the. time Ma
terial rather than moral considera-
! tions prompted the enactment.
Firewater was bad thing tor the
Indian. ltput him in fighting
mood. To lessen the turbulence
and the savagery of its wards, the
government applied these stringent
provisions against all liquor traffic.
To keep liquor from the Indians
federal courts were increased and
strengthened. And, by the way
of incentive, fees of court officers
were made dependent upon prose-
cutions for such offenses.
In the early years, when these
were no more than Indian reserva-
tions, whisky was fairly we'll kept
out Of the territory. But with the
coming of the white man the diff
ficulties OF enforcing the law in
creased rapidly. Today half of
the business of the four federal
courts of the territory is credited
to the contraband liquor traffic.
To control the thirst of $4,000 or
5000 Indians was hard enough.
But when $4,000, white people
were added, the problem became
complicated almost beyond belief.
Such situation as exists here
was never contemplated when con-
gress passed the Indian prohibi-
tion law. The courts, however,
have undertaken to keep the ter
ritory as tree from liquor as if the
inhabitants were all Indians.
When the profits on the illegal
traffic are taken into consideration,
the chances taken by those who
engage in it can be appreciated.
A very inferior article of whisky is
furnished for Indian Territory
consumption. 1t costs the dealer
not over $3.50 gallon. The ped
dler usually adds such an amount
OF water as his conscience will per-
NIT, and then retails the stuff at
from 50 to $5 a quart. Men who
will risk the penitentiary for such
a margin are sufficiently numerous
to furnish long list of bootlegging
cases at every term of court.
Rochester tonic and hop tea are
products of brewerles in the states.
They are turned out for Indian
reservation consumption. The
low percentage Of alcohol enables
the dealers to escape the penalties
in many places. Rochester tonic
has considerable popularity in
prohibition states ss well as 10 In
dian reservations. r il made
from the mash. After the beer
has been drawn off the mash is
heated a second time and allowed
to ferment as much as It will. The
product Of this last and weaker
fermentation is the tonic. It is
about as strong ii taste as beer,
but not nearly as intoxicating,

p. 3. Butler, of pack train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on
July 23d, says: ave all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no time
to see doctor, for it was a case of rush
and rush night and day to keep the
troops supplied with ammunition and
rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
we We're able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, 1 sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect savior of our army,
for if the packers had not been able to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that wagon train could
use. My comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in supply of this
medicine for our pack-train before we
left Tampa, and / know in four cases
it absolutely saved life.n
