We are confronted today with
an alien race, in what not long
since was an alien country, cele-
brating the natal day Of ofindepend-
ence OF the race and the people who
have enslavened and robbed them,
not by conquest and by force of
arms as the Filipino, but in the
face of solemn treaty. the highest
form of statutory law. Just what
interest the common Cherokee In
dian can feel in celebrating the
fourth of July is certainly not ap-
parent. The Declaration of Inde-
pendence was the beginning of the
end of Indian autonomy, and down
through the decades of American
history has moved the death knell
of tribal rights and tribal self-gov-
eminent. With no flag, no coun-
try and no nationality, the Ameri-
can Indian is about to yield up
the last vestige of patriotic senti-
ment in his being.

His Eorse House.

James Jones Is an eccentric char
acter Of Anderson, Ind, who is Just
a little light in his top flat. He
wanted to- build a stable for his
horse. but didn't have much idea of
how large to make it. He was GER
tain, however, that he didn't want
it a bit larger than was necessary.
a brilliant idea struck him-that
Is, brilliant for a man of his mental
standing-and he proceeded to put
it into effect. He drove a stake into
the ground about on the spot where
he wanted to build and tied the
horse to it. Then he drove three
other stakes, one at each corner of
the horse. Then he nailed the side
boards to the stakes, put n roof on
and had a stable which was war
ranted to fit the horse without be-
ing too large. When he had it all
finished. he started to take the horse
out, but found that he had not
bUilded wisely, in that he had made
no door. He knocked the boards off
one end of the building and made
them into a swinging door, and then
his stable suited him. As for the
horses probable opinion of it-well,
that's another story. Free

SMALLPOX AT FT. GIBSON
Infection in a House 0CCu-
pied by Three Families.

A week ago and upwards a case
of smallpox was suspected at Fit.
Gibson. 1t has now clearly dis
closed itself to be such and no
communication with neigh
boring towns is being permitted.
There are three families living in
brick house near the railroad
track, in old town, who recently
came from Oklahoma, to work in
the potato and cotton fields. One
of the men showed very strong
symptoms of being in the stage of
recovery, ten days ago-wss COW
cred with scabs and blotches. The
local physician suspected at first
the cause and to a confident told
it, saying that if be could avoid it
he was not going back to see the
patient again. But he was, evil
IDENTIFY, compelled TO do so, with
the result that one of the women
was found to be sick with the dis
ease.
Vinita learned a few years ago,
by experience, that these
smallpox stories get larger as they
travel, but The Chieftain has cor
rect information on the Ft Gibson
incident. By this is meant, not
that the man and woman have
smallpox beyond question, but
that the Fit. Gibson physician and
the town believe it to be such and
are taking due precautions. While
Vinita's admonition to keep cool,
would be wholesome and timely
to some towns, it is out of place,
as it were, in Fit. Gibson case. As
the headquarters of a military es-
tablishment for nearly three quar-
terss of a century it has had re-
peated visitations of smallpox, and
one or more Of the cholera, which
killed its scores if not hundreds.

THAT RED CROSS MAN.
Could Have Been Little Due
From Vinita.

J. F. Marston, who came here
soliciting funds for the Red Cross
last season, and held a meeting at
the Baptist church, is under arrest
at Charleston, Mo-, for turning in
short remittancss. The collection
at the Vinita meeting was only a
few dollars, much to the fellows
disgust. He said that Alton, small
as she is, put seventy or eighty
dollars in the hat, and was a lots
better town THAI Vinita. While
under arrest, it looks from this dis
tance very much as though Mars
toms conviction will never be ef-
fected. He is clearly the agent OF
the society. The information of
his arrest is contained in the fol-
lowing dispatch, sent from Charles
ton, Mo-, Saturday:
After successfully eluding the
federal officers for several days
Reverend" J. F. Marston was
arrested at Fisk, little station in
New Madrid county, and brought
to Charleston, where he is wanted
by the county authorities. The
original complaint against Mars
ton was made by Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the Red Cross
society, to the postofice depart
ment at Washington. In her COM
plant, which is now in the hands
of Inspector Sullivan, Miss Bar
ton alleged that Marston had been
fleeing people in various parts OF
Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee.
She appealed to the department
to put stop in some way 10 his
practices.
His plan, as suggested by Miss
Barton, was to invite collections
for the Red Cross society. In
every instance his letters to her
were short the amount of collec-
tions claimed to be inclosed. This
shortage, of course, he charged to
the mail agents between the point
of mailing and Miss Barton. When
be was arrested he claimed that
he had not violated any federal
law, but he practically admitted
that be might be amenable to the
state law.
1t is thought that it will be a
hard matter to establish a case
against him in the federal courts.
Marston has been Operating in
Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri
and the Indian Territory.
Letters of recommendation were
found on him, one purporting to
be from DR.. J. D. Murphy, pastor
of the First Baptist church Of
Charleston. He will be prosecu-
ted by the authorities of this coun-
ty for his doings at Belmont, where
he succeeded in collecting a con-
siderable sum of money.

A Stale JOke.

In one newspaper which insists
with owlish wisdom that the press
of the territory wastes its time
when talking of statehood, We
counted four items speaking slight
ingly of the editorial profession
those jokes(?) that so many seem
to look upon as humorous, regard
ing the patches on his pants, his
halt starving condition and others
of that nature which class the
editor in the same category with
the hungry hound that sneaks
around back doors begging for
scraps from the tables of the pros
porous. The man who has no
higher opinion Of his profession
than to use his columns for self
slander is certainly justifable in
saying nothing on the statehood or
any other 1--we question. If in his
proper place be would be serving
as a wet nurse to flock of geese,
but if he must stay in the profes-
sion he thinks so little of. he docs
well to confine himself strictly to
scissors and paste pot for so long
time as a community allows him
to spoi! good white paper in its
midst.-Purcell Register.
