Story of a Check

During the freeman payment L. H.
Hayden, Of Pryor Creek. lost a check
for SlSS issued to Robert Ross and
only this week did it come back to
him. For lack Of ink Endorsement the
check was turned down by the First
National bank of this city and return
ed to Mr. Hayden. He sent it by mail
to be indorsed again by Ross, and
there it disappeared and payment was
stopped at the sub-treasury in st.
Louis. For months nothing was heard
OF the check, but some time since the
cashier of the Bremen Brewing Co.
presented it for payment, which was
declined. The cashier said he got the
check from a saloon keeper named
Hoffman and when the postOftice in
spectors hunted up Hoffman he said
he found the check on the floor of his
saloon. This is tosome extent an inn
probable story, but the check has at
last found its way to the proper owner
and he is satisfied.

Glass Reception.

The reception TO the Seniors of Wor-
cester Academy at the Academy
building, Friday evening, was a very
delightful affair. All the members of
the class Of '9S. except one were pres
ent, with few of their immediate
friends. Progressive dominoes, inter-
spersed with music, were the amuse-
merits of the evening, and the hours
rolled lightly away till about 1890
when the guests repaired to the din
ing room to satisfy the inner man.
The dining room was appropriately
decked in the stars and stripes and
lent pathetic spirit to the occasion.
About 1880 the guests took their de-
parture, feeling that it was an occa-
sion to be remembered. This is the
first reception that has been held in
three years, and the only regret of
those assembled seemed TO be that it
would come but once a year. OF the
five Seniors of 'ps, Misses L. May Arm
strong and Lily Burns, and Messrs.
Arthur Griffith and Bernard Burns,
were present, Harry Ironsides being
unable to be out. Others present
were Prof. and Mrs. L. a.
Ellis and family; Mr.. and Mrs. Sherer
and Berta: Prof. McCulloch; Taylor
Crutehfield and Ralph Green of the
class of 'e5, Misses Ada Schepflin
Cooke, Dolley Colley, Bessie Hill, and
Messrs. Charles Mcclellan and John
Mitchell.

several orders issued concerning pend
ing cases, the trial of which will not
come up till the regular October term.

an order for the payment by John
Caldwell, at Catoosa, TO Lizzie Cald-

Iniurad in the Storm.

Mr.. Poindexter and his wife, having
ten miles northwest of town. were
severely hurt by the falling walls of
an old building during severe wind
storm last Sunday. The couple had
become frightened and started toward
a cellar some distance from the house
for safety. The portion Of the buile-
ing used as a kitchen blew down just
as they attempted to pass the corner
of the house. Both were cut about

shoulder badly bruised and the mans

he consulted with his client he
was compelled to have an inter-
prefer, and not always the same

that the testimony conld be pre-

said if the jury would bring in
such a verdict his client would be
satisfied and the ends of justice
met. To this the district attorney,
Mr.. Wilcox, assented and the
court thought it very commendable
in Mr.. Owen to make such plea

A CUBAN IN VINITA.

on the Unfortunate Island.

A deaf and dumb Cuban giving his
name as S. b. Burton-a Cuban of
English descent-arrived here Monday
from the north, enroute to Benton
vile, Ark, where be has relatives.
He tells story of great suffering
among his people. He said: 81 left

Prices Going Up.

Flour and sugar are the articles that
bid fair to 60 so high in price that the
consequent expense will be severely
felt by all classes of people in this
country at a very early day. The
wholesale dealers refuse absolutely To
quote prices on sugar, and when a
retail merchant orders that commod.
ity he don't know what the price Is
going to be. Flour jumped % cents
on the hundred Monday, and the mills
don't care to sell at any figure; and
the end is not in sight as it is toe
early to figure on the new crop.

ACTIVE SERVICE AT HAND.
The Frontier C0ntingents TO be Sent
to Cuba at Once.

A clear idea of the service ex-
pected Of and which awaits our In
dian Territory contingents may be
gained from the following Wash
ington dispatch of May 2:
There may be other bold deeds
(speaking of Dewey's) to come.
Whatever be the decision as to the
departure OF the expeditionary
force, the cowboy regiments are to
90 to Cuba at once. Col. Leonard
Wood and Col. Jay L. Torrey
have got their men. Under tele-
graphic instructions the rough
riders are now assembling at 'front.'
ier points. Government quarter
masters are gathering the horses
and arranging the transportation.
Assured by the enthusiastic com
manders they can teke careof them.
selves as soon as they reach Cuba,
the War Department has conclud-
ed to land the cowboys without re-
ference to the question of a base
of operations, or an army invas-
ion.
Lieut.. Col. Roosevelt said to-day
he expected to be in Cuba within
a week. That is perhaps an over
sanguine calculation. To move
1000 cow boys and their horses to
the gulf and to transport them
across requires a schedule that
will stretch. But there is no
doubt the cowboys are going just
as soon as the mastering and the
necessary travelling can be done.
Col. Wood made the rounds of the
War Department to-day saying
"good-by.' %
"Oh I'll see you again before
you you go to Cuba,' said Col.
Ainsworth.
"No, you won't," replied the
Colonel; "you will not see me
again until the whole thing is
over"
Col. Woods expects to go with
his cowboys directly from the
Southwest to the gulf, and the
closing business to day related to
the trasports to carry the men and
horses across.
Col. Torrey about concluded his
preparations in Washinton tonight.
His men, who were enrolled some
time ago, are now assembling at
railroad points. in the northwest.
The two regiments each 1000
strong and composed frontiersmen
trained to selfreliance in all the
words imply, will, upon reaching
Cuba, proceed to Gomez and take
the field under the commander-in-
chief. They expect to be riding
toward Havana within two weeks.
The work which the cowboys
can do in the campaign will be OF
tremendous effect. All that up
holds Spanish authority in inter
ior CuDa to-day is the prese nee
and activity of the guerrillas or
ganized by Weyler from the worst
elements commissioned to prey up
on the Cubans. These bands of
from so to $50 are composed OF
bandits, cattle thieves, ,assassins and
criminals of every class. Many OF
them were released from prisons
to Join the land pirates of Cuba.
The Cubans fear the guerrillas far
more than they do the Spanish
soldiery. The cowboy regiments
will clean out these pestiferous
guerrillas, and then there will be
nothing left of to Spain but tn e
army centered about Havana.

Adverse to the Claimants.

Judge Springer passed upon the ap-
peals of a number of claimants TO
Cherokee citizenship last Thursday
rejecting the Cobbs, Bells, Flippins,
DOllyhites and Paynes. These cases
were appealed from the decision of the
Dawes commission by the Cherokee
nation, rs they. were admitted
by the commission more than a
year ago. w. Il. Hatchings represent
ed the Cherokees before the court.
This, we believe, is the last of the
Cherokee citizenship cases.
