THE

THE horse, as a machine, has his
drawbacks. One is that he wears
L out too soon. Another is his gen
eral unreliability and his tendency to
SPAWN and heaves when overworked.
His fuel is comparatively expensive,
and whether~he is working or standing
idle it must be supplied to him.
So in this age Of applied science our
old equine favorite is passing away.
The electric gong of the automobile
has sounded his deathknell, and now,
no matter how old fashioned cavaliers
may struggle against the tide of cur
rent events, the horse, as a piece of
locomotive machinery, is bound to go.
Although for some 5000 years, if his
tory is right in the matter he has been
doing faithful duty to man, his ven
cradle bones must at last be relegated
to the dime museum and his fatted and
degenerate descendants sent to the
Teutonic chophouses. That he may
still be seen ambling unapprehensively
up and down the streets of our differ
ent American cities is quite true, but
now that the automobile has passed
out of the experimental stage of it's

for business or pleasure, as the case
may be.
The automobile is clean, economical
and convenient. 1t never eats it's head
off. 1t never balks or SHES into a
ditch. 1t does not get distemper and
have to be shot. 1t does not leave
dirty streets behind it, and 1t can wrig-
gle through a crowded thoroughfare

and, though he may not pass absolutely
away for the next few4years, the time
will certainly come When he will be

REMARKABLE FEAT.
An Angry Wife Punished Her Hus-
band Severely.

A remarkable feat of slugging was
accomplished on San Francisco street
this morning by tat woman, the SUBJ
ject being her hus band, who was said
at the time to be Intoxicated.
The woman found him staggering
along the street. There was blood in
her eye and the crowd got interested
and began to collect. She ordered him
to go home, but he protested with tears
in bis eyes that he was not drunk and
begged her not to create scene in
the presence of all those people. Then
she hauled off and hoored him with
one blow. He struck the sidewalk on
lis face and lay there limp and help
less.
The loving wife gathered him up by
the seat of his pants and coat collar
and carried him bodily around the
corner and flung him in the yard.
Eye witnesses say the spectacle was q
most interesting one.

Advice.

A young woman called at the mayor q

She said the little fellow was her
nephew and she wanted .advice and as
sistance.
The boys father went to chihuahua
some months ago and left his child
with it's grand mother and two aunts,
one married and the other single. The
unmarried aunt was the one who called
at the court house. She said the grand
mother and married aunt
had subsequently left her to care for
the child entirely and that she was
perfectly willing to do so, but had lost
two positions on account of the incum-
brance and found herself unable to earn
q livelihood for either herself or the
boy.
The mayor sent for the chief of
police and told him to investigate and
report if anything could be done.

INDIANS GOING TO MEXICO.
Mexican Government Agent in Con-
ference With Prominent Chero-

A special dispatch to the Globe
Democrat from Fort Gibson, 1. T.,
July 26, says: w. J. Lyon, of the City
of Mexico, agent for the Mexican gov
eminent, has been here for two days in
conference with some prominent Che
rokees, among them j. II. Dick, we'll
known in Washington, in relation to
the Indian emigration business. A
representative of the Globe Democrat
to the purposed emigration.
He said that matters were pro-
crossing smoothly, and that his
mission is meeting with success. he
said that about 1000 Cherokees, Is, 900
Creeks, 5000 Choctaws, 1000 Chickasaws
and 1900 Seminoles had signed an
agreement to go to Mexico, and that
more would follow. He said that they
were not making much talk over the
matter, as it was not necessary, but
were doing business on the quiet.
Agents from the five tribes have been
to Mexico to see the lands, and, SO far
as they have examined them are satisti-
ed. After the election next month it
is expected that q good many Chero-
KEGS will go to Mexico to see the coun-
try for themselves, as the trip will cost
them little or nothing. If the election
in the Cherokee nation next month
as seems likely, there will
probably be q large addition
to the Mexican colony. Mr.. Lyon
leaves today for the Creek nation,
where he has business, and is to meet
. big delegation of Seminoles in their
country next Sunday. It is only of late
that the Seminoles have made up their
minds to 60 to Mexico, and in addition
to those who have already signed, q
large numb of others ara ready To
add their names to the list. J. 81.

agent among the Cherokees.
He says that there may be surprise
in store for the people of the Cherokee
nation after the election next month
