John White Turkey, the Indian
deperado, has been removed to
Muskogee, where be will be tried
on the charge of having murdered
I. t. Curl, a white man. He
killed Curl at picnic a year ago,
without reason, simply saying he
was going to kill some white man.
A half-breed girl, Mollie Yollmer,
who'was jealous of his attentions
10 another woman, betrayed him
to the officers. She had two depu-
ties hidden in the brush near a
house where White Turkey was TO
attend a dance. She led the In
dian close to the officers and then
threw her arms aroundhim and the
officers had him before he tried to
resist.-K. G. Star.

Indian Territory.

ing the Indian Territory, no town
on the Frisco line will attract the
attention Of the traveller more than
Vinita, because of her size and
beauty. This town is situated on
the Oklahoma division OF the Fris-
co and on the Katy, rs it is called,
running from Kansas City TO VII
nita and thence south, thus giving
them competing lines. This is
one OF the oldest towns in this
part of the Territory. Much
wealth has concentrated here as
can be seen from the splendid
business houses and lovely resi-
dences. This is town of many
thousand inhabitants and a more
attractive town can not be found
anywhere, situated on the broad
prairie, overlooking the country
for miles away with an unbroken
view. A visitor to the town would
at once judge it to be filled with
energetic, pushing business men
and you would rightly Judge it.

ton of the town only more firmly
convinces one of the fact and
day or two stay simply settles the
matter and you go away with
pleasant thoughts and words of
praise for her citizens and the
beauty of the town. As a business
place, Vinita is commercial cen.
ter, having some of the most ele-
CANT stores and many Of the most
handsome stocks of goods to be
found in any place of towns many
times her size. Not only is the
town we'll supplied with large re-
tail stores, but they have several
wholesale establishments who do
much credit to the town. The
country around is as fine as ever
any one saw and as an agricultural
section it has scarcely an equal.
Corn, wheat and hay CROWN abun-
dance and the yield is good both
as to quantity and quality. Stock
raising is also very profitable in
dustry. Vinita is a very impor-
tant shipping point, in fact, one Of,
if not the largest on the Frisco
line. 1t is astonishing to see the
amount shipped from this point,
especially as to hay, the shipments
are enormous. 1t is a perfect
sight to be in the town in the ship
ping season and watch the hun
dreds of wagons coming into town
loaded with hay and shipped out.
Many times the amount brought in
for shipment is SO large that it is

Sir George Whites honest admission
of full responsibility and the terms of

LONDON, Nov. IAN omInous cur
tain has again descended upon affairs In
Natal. No dispatch. except the official
kilograms OF General Sir George Stew
art White has thus far been permitted
to mention the disaster, and no tele-
gram from Ladysmlth has been received
in London since the advIces from the
British commander This gices rise to
a belief that communications have al
ready been cut, In which event some
time must elapse before details regard
ing British losses are received.

formation on this point, they have re-
Trained from publishing 1t. General
Whites estimate that the British losses
were about ninety Is evidently quite
separate from tho probable losses In
Killed and wounded among the captured
batt0llons.
On this point there Is the greatest
suspense among the relatives Of the
prisoners. II 10 supposed that the stnm-
pedtng OF mules meant the carrying
away OF the reserves OF ammunition
and that the troops capitulatcd after
firing the rounds which each man car
ried.
In the absence Of news. the morning
papers nre reduced 10 speculation as 20
how the disaster occurred. The gem
eral opinion ls that misuse Of the cav
airy was the real reason for the fall
into the Boer trap. Apparently there
was no cavalry to watch over the safety
OF the missing column.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Daily Chron-
iclc, referring edltorIally to the situation
says: 'In view of the patent failure of
the campaign, and the terrible humfii-
alton OF the British army, we can only
vaguely hope that Sir George White in
the hard days that lie before him may
be able to hold Ladysmith. II this war

phe calls forth something better than

reckon 1t as timely lesson well earned

The Daily News says: "If II Is found
possible to move the stores, Sir George
White will probably be ordered TO with
draw from Colense. II the order Is not
given, It will be because n removal Of
the stores would be too risky"
The Morning Post calls attention to
Sir George Whites use OF the word
"capltul0tlon," remarkinE that IL slis-
poets the word was used carelessly. II
says: I'VE prefer to assume that the
column fought until II was cut to pieces
and ALI the ammunition gone. Capltula-

r Irish Soldiers Bravery.

Frank Richards, an Englishman,
writes as follows in the Vancouver
World:
When Rudyard Kpling came out Of
the delirium which had existed so many
weeks during his illness he asked: "Has
anyone called?" This was the modest
inquiry of man at whose bedside the
whole world had been watching. In
reading through the kilograms today
one sees the Dublin Fusileers mentioned
in nearly every paragraph. The brave
Irish soldiers have ever been at the
front. Their courage and dash are one
of the strongest pillars of the British
empire. 1t is needless to remind our
selves that our bravcst and greatest gen
erals have been Irisllmen. Without de-
preciating in the smallest degree the
splendid valor OF the Scotch and Eng
lish regiments, l would like to say that
whatever this terrible war brings forth
it should bring about a better feeling
between tile EngilSl ana irish people
Let us all resolve to grant all we can to
so brave, generous and warm-hcartcd
people. Among them are some OF our
best and most hospitable friends. Let
us give to them every privilege we pos
sess ourselves and then we shall always
have their strong arms and warm, brave
hearts in our hour OF need, which we
shall surely meet as we travel down the
ages. l am totally ignorant of politics
but as an Englishman l would like to
see our Irish friends treated handsome

'''as." .The Art of Printing.

In the Middle Ages-the Dark Ages,
as our Protestant friends sweetly ex-
press twas invented 'the art pre-
servative of all arts"-printing. In Ger
many Catholic Gutenberg printed the
first book printed in America was is
the Bible; man of the same faith
Caxton-frst printed in English. The
first book prinuted in America was is
sued at convent in Mexico Up here
in the north, the first press west of the
Alleghenies was set up by that beloved
priest, the Rev. Gabriel Richard, who
was also, strange as it may seem, a
congressman. The paper upon which
we write and print was invented by the
Catholics of the eleventh century,
Many of the great writer's who made
printing necessity, lived in those ages.
In those ages were founded the great
universities, Oxford in 866, Cambridge
in US, Paris in 300 A. D., and the ia
nous schools Of Italy, Bologna, Rome,
Padua, Paris and Pisa, which counted
their students not by hundreds but by
thousands. Vespucci and Columbus
were educated at Padua. And for the
sake of harmony-that does not exist
between some modern journals, who
are always crying out against "papal
darkness may say that music is
indebted to the monk Arizzo of the
twelfth century for its gamut and Of
gans; for that deepest toned and most
powerful OF all musical instruments was
first devised by the Catholics of the
ninth century. Now, of course, some
could not read four large and we'll filled
weeklies without glasses, and for this
aid to poor vision in the quest of pleas
ure and instruction we are again in
debted to the monk Salvino of Piso,

Two leading Irishmen Of Sligo,
Messrs. Muffany and Mcguire, were
recently sentenced to six months i'm
prisonment for denouncing land-grab-
bers. They were tried by partisan
judge and a packed jury from which
all Catholics were excluded. This was
in accordance with an obsolete law of
Edward ILL.,, who reigned in 1927.
Michael Davitt says of the case:
"This is done under government that
is pretending to wage war in the
Transvaal to secure free speech and
fair trial for Englishmen In the Rand"

Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and
George Washington had much to do in
gaining our independence, and James
Madison and George Mason-also Vir-
ginians-nade the Constitution of the
United States with Some assistance from
Alexander Hamilton. Virginia gave to
the Union the Northwestern Territory,
and in very considerable degree popu-
lated it. Virginia populated Kentucky,
and Kentucky populated Missouri. Only
two presidents came from New Eng
land, and one got it by scratch Where
have our constructive statesmen come
from? Jefferson, Mason, Marshall,
Madison-Virginiars. Hamilton, De-
Witt Clinton, New Workers. Clay, Lin
coin, Kentuckians. Benton was from
North Carolina, Tennessee and Mis-
souri, 1t is true that Webster was from
New England; but Webster was an ex-
FOUNDER Of what was already construct
ed. 1t is true that his was the most
powerful intellect that our hemisphere
has produced; but Webster was no PIT
ritan; he was Scotch Irishman, as was
that greatest of American journalists,
also a New Englander-Horac Gree
ley
There was state without king or
mobiles; there was a church without a
bishop; there was a people governed by
grave magistrates which it had selected,
and by equal laws which it had framed"
That was the eloquent tribute Rufus
Choate paid the Pilgrim Fathers. And
it was deserved. But the Puritans were
always meddling. Not only did they
persist in governing themselves, but
they wanted to govern everybody else.
When Jefferson bought Louisiana we
first heard threat Oh secession, and it
came from Massachusetts, Old Eng
land got heap of comfort from New
England in 18I2-15, The treason OF
Hosea Bigelow is now classic, though,
if the cold steel of, the law had been
ministered in his case his head would
have been brought TO the block Had
African slavery been as profitable in
Massachusetts as it was supposed to be
in South Carolina, we would have Afri-
can slavery in this Country to-day.
A very striking sentence in James G.
Blaine's book is the thought that what
ever is good in huasn government is
due to the operation Of an intelligent
selishness, or words OF that import. He
probably got the idea from Boiling
broke, who knew as much of the de.
pravity of the political heart as any man
OF that selfish and corrupt age-tlle last
quarter of the seventeenth century and
the first quarter OF the eighteenth. Here
is how Bolingbrokc expresses it:
1T is very easy thing to devise good
laws; the difficulty is to make them ef-
fective. The great mistake is that o
looking upon men as virtuous, as think
ing they can be made so by laws, and
consequently the greatest art of poll.
tician is to render vices serviceable tc
the cause of virtue"
That was eminenly true in the time
of Bolingbroke. Unfortunately it is ii
great measure true in the time O
George r. Hoar, and it maintains il
just as great degree in Massachusetts as
it does in any other state of the Ameri
can sisterhood.

would preach on one Sunday on the

subjects He must have had drop OF
Irish blood in him, although he was an

But you want to hear Of Z IL
Newman, who lived in the same c,an-
try, whose education was of the same
calibre, an Englishman and convert,
yet who held aloof from all these things
which interested Cardinal Manning and
who never lifted finger for any one Of
| them.
| When Newman went into the Roman
Catholic church, he made a hole
through which millions of eyes got the
first sight of Catholic religion. 1t was
thought at that time in England the
Roman Catholic church was for namby
pamby men and old women, that it was
not place for an Anglo-Saxon with a
brain, but when he, at IS years OF age,
abandons everything and goes to Rome
and stays half a century, no one can say
the church is place for men with weak
minds. You may go down to Harvard
and Yale and take all the brains there,
roll them into one pellet, and it would
lose itself in the crevices of his mighty
intellect. 1t has been tried. Scores of
men have tried it and it is so.
The result OF his entrance to the
Catholic church has been he has re-
lieved the bitterness OF Catholics for
us, and better than that, Catholics got
a peep out through that hole and saw
that Protestants were not so bad as was
thought. He told us he was with them
for 45 years, and lie knew them, and if
we feel the rock Of faith under our feet,
we should exemplify it by giving it to
them.
Mr.. Adams described the wonderful
intellect of Newman, as shown by his
ability, even as child, to learn and re-
member things, and told how he be-
came, dissatisfied with the God OF his
mother, who was Calvinist, and went
seeking for the true God, whom he
found in the Catholic church. His de-
scription of the change was vivid, and
he told what wonderful influence the
change had on the people of England,
because Newman was the most promi-
nent Protestant clergyman in the world
at the time. He was on the pinnacle of
success with the English-speaking world
in the, palm of his hand, and when he
changed there was no name too vile to
be thrown at him. Fifty years later,
during which period he had been work.
ing in his quiet way change had been
wrought in the people of England, and
when Newman died the press and the
pulpit We'd with each other in paying
tribute to his memory.
Mr.. Adams closed his address by de-
scribing picture of Newman in his
home, and quoted LEAD, Kindly
Light" with great dramatic power.
The audience applauded long and loud,
and after giving him rising vote OF
thanks, applauded until he left the plat
form.
