BACK FROn SAN ANTONIO.
Vinita Visitors Sad Journey of a
Sick rIan.

The last Of the san Antonio excur-
sionists returnedMonday night--all but
Bill Rogers, of Chelsea, who went to
Galveston. With them came a num-
Der Of the Vinita colony who have
been spending the winter at the fam
Gus southwestern health resort, in
Guiding Mrs. r. IronSide, Mrs. Ned
Shanahan and her brother, W. II.
Sheehan, and family. On the same
train was NJ. A. CampiOn, Mr.. Mil
ford's nephew, whose hope, and
the hope Of his family, centers
in his getting back to northern Min
nesota-tO die at home. The young
man was here in the fall of 1897, but
spent the winter at Asheyille, n. c.
Last fall he welt to southern NewMex-
leo, but making no improvement went
to San Antonio just as the severe cold
spell in February set in. From that
time he has declined rapidly and his
after being home less than
week, was recalled to his bedside, and
after a day or two decided with the
young mans wife to endeavOr to get
him home.

Dawes Commission Work.

The secretary of the interior has
received a long report from the
Dawes commission upon the work
of the commission in the territory.
The report is very elaborate, cov-
ing fifteen or twenty pages of type
writing. The commission accord
ing to the report, is devoting all
its energies to the preparation of
the citizenship rolls in the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations. When
the work will be completed, the
commission fails to state. The
allotments of land will be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible, ac-
cording to the commission. The
situation is entirely satisfactory to
the commission and they believe
that there will be no disposition
on the part of the Indians to inter-
fere, hamper or delay their opera.
tiOns.-Cspital.

when the former became some

ter the attorney, but a fight was
prevented by the bystanders.-Ft.

A Good Paper.

Judge H. E. Don-Carlos, in conver-
sation with a Chieftain man this
week, said: Il tell you, The
Chieftain is getting out a good paper
now" w. b. Raines, who was in the
group, added: "Thats just what it
is" James Cowell, while paying his
subscription Monday to the daily,
said" "I'll tell you, guess I'll stop
my daily for awhile; times are so-oh.
just let it come on; it's good paper,
well worth all it costs, and my family
would miss il a great deal The
Daily Chieftain gets so many volun-
teer compliments like the above, that
it cannot help believing that it is fill
ing a long felt want in Vinita.

For Jumping Trains.

Marshal Ledbetter Tuesday after
noon ''took in" couple OF young men
from the country, for jumping on the
Frisco passenger train. The marshal
was in hiding, watching for some
smaller boys VINO had been riding the
trains, and heard one of the young
men say to the other: "By golly, /
like to ride trains.n A moment later
the boys were in charge Of the officer,
who took them before Mayor Sheehan.
1t being their first ofTense, and their
pleadings Of ignorance Of an ordi-
nance prohibiting such sport being so
strong, his honor made it light on the
boys. The scare was worth a good
deal to them, and afforded consider
able fun for a crowd Of bystanders.
The authorities are determined to
break up this practice around the dc
pots, and il is certainly good move.

They Raised the Money

The Baptist Sunday school Of this
city a short time since purchased a
large number Of maps, one side con-
taing a map of the United States, the
other map Of the world. \ number
little girls were sent out over town to
solicit money to pay for the maps.
Four prizes were offered-to the one
getting the most money, then to the
second, third and fourth best. Little
Miss Bertha Sherer captured first
prize, Nellie Smith second, Jennie
Fowler third and Jessie Franklin
fourth. The little girls not only
raised money enough to pay for the
maps, but also enough in addition to
pay or an slsdebt against the church.

that Miss Florence Myers, sister Of
Mrs. J. B. Burckhalter, Of this place,
had been named as sponsor for the
Texas division w. c. V. to attend the
re-union at Charleston, S. c. The
sponsors are all entitled TO maids Of
honor, and it is announced that Miss
Belle Neal, the charming young lady
who visited in our city last week, has
been selected as maid Of honor TO
Miss Myers. This is a very fitting
appointment and it is needless to say
that Miss Neal will occupy the posi-
tion with much credit to herself and

Alas! poor Iuckless nation. thou art dead

hand
Divine had given it thee thy restful seat.
Here with thy God, without such wars as tore
The entrails out OF cultured Rome and
Greece.
Thou didst abide ten thousand years or more.
Thy wants by Him supplied, in halcyon
peace.
But then came Art, in rouge and ribbons
dressed.
The source of woe, borne on the winged
hours.
And, squat upon thine own salubrious west.

Wrenched of the hinges from the joints Of

And tore its system into shreds apart

Then first it was, that on thy peaceful plains
The roar of onset and the saber's CLEAN,
Began-but hold! humanity refrains.
And genius cannot paint a dying scream

orchard north Of town Tuesday and
was delighted with the prospect of an
abundant fruit crop. The doctor has
something like four thousand apple
trees from six TO twelve years old, and

bloom, as they could possibly be.

A Brand New Policy.

Mr. J. B. Dickinson, special agent
for the American Union Life InSur-
ance Co., OF New York, who has been
so successful in writing leading busi-
ness men all over the territory, is very
enthusiastic over the new policy his
company will som put on the market.
When questioned, Mr.. Dickinson said:
"This policy will just fill the bill,
both for protection and as pension
in old age. In fact, there is no con-
tingency Of human life known TO life
insurance, this policy does not make
provisions to meet. The old argument
against insurance, i don't want 10
die to win, and l am not able to pay
for an endowment is fully answered
by this new policy"
- No matter what the age Of the in
sured at entry, all premiums cease at
the age OF seventy. II provides not
only a pension in old age, but affords
ample indemnity and protection at
very low rates. The American Union
is up-to-date and wide awake TO the
demands Of the insuring public, and
from its increasing number of friends
throughout the Indian Territory, l
am Of the opinion that this new policy
will meet with general favor. l have
already secured several large applica-
tiOns for this policy"
Mr.. Dickinson is nothing if not en-
thusiastic, and his enthusiasm ap-
pears TO be directed along practical
insurance lines. His company has
steadily grown in popular favor under
his management in this section of the
country.

Killed the Business.

Bill Raines has killed the barber
trade in Vinita. He clips the hair Of
every fellow he can induce to 'sit, :"
with his patent horse clipper, free Of
charge. He clipped the hair Of
two young men in two minutes, and
did just as smooth work as any bar
ber's clippers could do. If the Vinita
BARRIERS don't take some immediate
steps to stop Raines, he will ruin their
trade everlastingly.
