AN HISTORICAL STORY.
cherokees Held TO be Of Egyptian
Origin.

Mr.. John B. Dickinson, the
popular insurance man, will soon
finish a very interesting historical
story dealing with the Cherokees
and other Indians, which will be
published in The Chieftain. Mr..
Dickinson has been gathering in
formation while travelling through
the territory, and while at Table
uuah last week he discovered some
valuable data for his forthcoming
article. He says the Cherokees
are noble race, and his research
leads him to the conclusion that
they are lineal descendants of the
Egyptian priests. This, he says,
accounts for so much grace and
beauty amongst the Cherokee la
dies. He promises to give The
Chieitain readers a very good
story, in the near future. Wall
street, and Old Mexico expert
ence. has fitted Mr.. Dickinson for
almost any task he might under
take, but his friends say he is
better insurance man than any
thing else. His record of nearly
one million dollars of insurance in
the past five months is certainly a
good one, and his company may
justly feel proud Of him.

FAIRLAND COURT.
An Important Event in the Rising
Metropolis.


Fairland takes as much interest
in its commissioners court as vi
nita did in its early experience
with its somewhat limited judici-
ary. A civil case was tried there
last week-resulting in disagree
ment of the jury-which Consta-
BILE Isbell says never can be tried
again in that town because every
body, apparently, within five
miles disqualified themselves as
Jurymen. All who could get into
the court room heard the case
tried and the balance of the COM
munity were outside awaiting par
ticulars. One amusing case was
that of couple of young fellows
who disturbed the peace at a box
supper a good long time ago.
Guilt was clear and conviction
prompt. They paid the assessed
fine, swearing the first time they
caught. the prosecuting witness at
Seneca, near which town all lived,
they would settle with him, with
interest.

Cases Deserving Attention of This

The kangaroo court will get
these housebuilders yet. Now
last night Mrs. Churchill came in
just at six o'clock and instead of
taking her right down home, and
setting her down TO a good supper,
she had to be taken out right from
the train to see the new house.
And Ming, the other day, was so
anxious to see the mortgage or
some other part of the trimming
put on his house just right that he
could not find time to sell set of
furniture to a newly married coup
le, and they looked as though they
would not be difficult to sell to.
Worse cases than these have been
known to be taken ''on spec,"
and by lawyers who would be at
their best in the kangaroo

states. One or another town may
be profitable or Improbable to the
companies but it makes no differ
ence to the towns individually.
What one or more of them in
state loses a company the others
in that state must pay. As re-
suit of this manner Of conducting
business. insurance rates are raised
on nearly all classes OF risks from
last Thursday, the 18th, % per
cent, all over the Indian Territory,
save at Ardmore and Checotah,
where the increase is but Is per
cent. The exception at these two
towns is because they have water
supply and fire departments. This
order for increase is made effect
i've pending the re-rating of all
towns in the Indian Territory,
which will be done at an early
date, after which fixed rate will
apply. It's applied just at this
time because Of the unusual losses
in the territory thus far during
1899.
The increase applies to all mer-
camille risks, hotele, stables, hay
barns and contents. 1t is not to
apply to dwellings, schools,
churches, cotton congresses,
yards, oil mills, lumber yards,
flour mills and all other manufac-
turing risks except that when any
of the above excepted risks are
located in frame ranges or business
blocks, and are rated as high or
higher than the range or block in
which they are located, then they
shall be subject to the advance in
rate same as the building or stocks
of the range or block in which
they are located. Accompanying
the bulletins ordering the advance
was the following in relation to
keeping water barrels and buckets
at accessible points:

of this merry occasion was house
party given at thu home of her uncle
not many miles from Cambridge. The
lady writes
my uncle owned big place about
twenty miles from town, and every
year he invited all his relatives to
spend the Christmas holidays with
him. He was widower with two chill

was one of the brightest and most
fun-loving girls have ever known. l
was just two years her senior, and be-
tween us we managed to stir up that
house party to degree nothing short
of startling! Twenty people beside
our family were invited, there being
altogether about thirty guests in the
house. Among them were a,young law
yer from New York (for whom I i'm
mediately conceived a violent admira-
tion), a naval officer, three Yale men
from New Haven, my two brothers, an
antique female cousin Of ours Gage un-

and a young married couple from ST.

couple were concerned. OF course,
