Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains Of disease is the worst
form OF slavery. George ID. Williams,
Of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
a slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles OF
Electric bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work" This supreme remedy for fe-
male diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working med
icine is a godsend TO weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaran-
teed. Only 80 cents. Sold by \. w.
Foreman's and Peoples drug stores.

UNITED STATES COURT.
Daily Grist of Proceedings in the
Federal Tribunal Of Wagner.

Burrel Cox, who was sentenced
last week to Fort Leavenworth
Kansas, on his plea of guilty to
manslaughter, was brought up from
Muskogee this morning, and his
sentence was changed from the
national prison at Fort Leaven-
worth to the Missouri state pen
itentiary at Jefferson City. The
court stated that it was on instruc'
tions from the interior department
that this change was made.
Adam Haddridge, indicted at
the recent session of the grand
jury, charged with larceny, exe-
cuted bond for his appearance at
the March term, this morning.
Jim Smith, indicted for selling
liquor, was arrested and taken
TO MusEogee today.
The Tigner murder case, taken
up yesterday, is expected to last
ct least all day tomorrow.
Court will adjourn tomorrow for
Thanksgiving. We are not ad-
vised as to whether Judge Thomas
will reconvene Friday morning or
not, as be could only hold two
days, court beginning at Muskogee
Monday. 1t is said that Judge
Thomas will adjourn subject TO a
call term, and that Judge Spring
er's successor, who is expected to
be appointed in the next few days,
will probably come at once and
complete some of the unfinished
business at this place.
Frank Blair plead guilty TO the
charge of selling tonic, but said
that at the time he engaged
in the business he was informed
that it was not intoxicating and
not a violation of law, but when he
found out different he quit the bus

COFFEYVILLE FEELS BIG.
Thinks Good Railroad Connection Can
Only be rIade There.

The Arkansas & Oklahoma rail-
road, now building from South
west City, Mo-, through toward
Cofyville, has taken out permits
sion TO make a permanent survey
across the territory 10 Coffeyville.
Permission to do this was granted
by the athOrities last week.
Vinita figured on getting this
road, which has been in operation
from Gravett and Rogers, Ark, to
Southwest City, Mo-, for a long
time. But it seems that it is going
north of Vinita and will cross the
Frisco at Alton and the Katy at
Bluejacket, heading straight for
Coffyville.
The road is now nearer the Ar
kansas mineral fields than any
ether and will probably be the
first TO build east into them. 1t
needs northern connections with
good roads and it can get these
easiest and best at Coffeyville. This
fact, no doubt; is the reason why
it is surveying here.-COffeyville

The appearance of smallpox in
various parts of the Indian Terri
tory, at the opening of winter, has
led the government to lend its aid
in coping with the disease. DR..
Fits, of Muskogee, has charge of
the Cherokee and Greek nations,
on behalf of the government and
is empowered to adopt such meas
ures as be deems the exigencies
warrant. The government will
pay expenses incurred in caring
for all classes in the country, and
also for Indian citizens in the
towns, but expects the municipal
governments to care for the bal.
ance of the people within their
limits. Vaccination on a large
scale will begin in the Greek ma,
ton at once. Twon new cases de.
veloped at Eufaula a few days
since and others are expected,
as the opportunity for infection
was ample.

Repeal OF Territory Liquor
Law to be Urged.

Washington, Nov. 27:-ODe OF
the most important features of
congress to Indian Territory peo-
pie will be the appointment of the
members Of the committees on In
dian affairs OF the house and SEN
ate. While Speaker Henderson
has no: yet made any definite an
uouncement it is generally under
stood that Representative Charles
Curtis, of Kansas, will be appoint
ed chairman of the house commit
tee. Mr.. Curtis was the second
man on the committee during the
last congress, and as Mr.. Sherman,
of New York, who was the chair
man, is anxious for an assignment
to more important committee,
Mr.. Curtis is in direct line of pro-
motion. 1t is also announced that
the other members of the commit
tee who have been rejected Will
retain their Old positions.
Senator Platt, of Connecticut,
will succeed Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota, as chairman of In
dian affairs of the senate. He has
been a member of this committee |
for many years and is exceptional
ly well qualified for the place.
Among the various laws which |
will be urged for passage at the
coming session relating to Indian
Territory will be the extension of |
the laws of Arkansas, known as
Mansfeld's Digest, ,over the Indian
Territory. A bill will be intro
duced on the first day extending
the time for the ratification of
treaties with the Cherokee and
Creek nations until some time
next spring, in the hope that some
satisfactory agreement may be
reached.
Messrs. Mansfield, McMurray &
Cornish, attorneys of South Meal
ester, have made application at
the Indian Office to have contracts
approved with the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indians as their legal
representatives before congress
and the departments. An appli-
plication has also been made for a
recommendation to congress by
the department to allow these two
nations delegates to congress to
look after the interests of the two
nations.
