Plans for Christmas,

The nOn-sectarian Christmas enter
'tainment given last year was so thor
oughly satisfactory to all concerned
that it is proposed to repeat it this
year and arrangements have been
made to hold it in Jesmer's opera
house, Saturday evening, Dec. %.
An appropriate program of exercises
is being prepared, that part of the
work being given the teachers of the
public schools. Those who attended
last year will remember the teachers
provided a very pleasant and appro-
pirate entertainment and this year the
program will be equally good.
The projectors are keeping the plans
for the entertainment of the children
a deep secret, but assure the UNION
that the little ones will have a
pleasant surprise when the time comes.
These public gatherings are to be COM
mended, for nothing so YIELDS the
bonds of common sympathy as they do.
Last nlSnC tne UNION was informed
that owing to sickness in the village
there was some talk of abandoning the
affair. There are few cases of con-
tagious sorethroat in town and if this
spreads the plans will be given up.
If, however, there is no increase of
sickness everything will be carried out
according to program. Everyone
should lend hand in this entertain
ment for it will be the means of max
ing a lot of little folks happy, who
might have q very meager Christmas
otherwise. Let those who are pro-
vided for, give q little for the benefit
of their less favored neighbors. -

BECAUSE OF THE FIRE.
Instructions to the Muskogee
Commissioners.

Muskogee Times,
The following extract from the
instructions to the Muskoge town
site commission will be read with
much interest by several Of our
citizens:
When Inspector Wright first
brought the matter Of appointing a
commission for the town of Mus
kogee to the attention of this de-
partment, he based his action up
on the fact that large portion of
the town had been destroyed by
fire, and that persons who owned
improvements that had burned,
desired to rebuild, but would de-
lay until the commission could be
appointed and the town laid out,
surveyed and appraised in accord
aDce with the act, in order to
avoid expenses in case the present
arrangements as to lots should be
found inexpedient, and the Office
in recommending the appoint
ment of your commission express
ly stated that the recommendation
was made on account of the fact
that the fire had occurred.
The act provides for the sale of
lots on which permanent improve
ments have been made to the
owner of the improvements at
one-half the appraised value. If
the strict letter of the act is fol-
lowed, you will be compelled to
classify lots which previously to
the fire were occupied by perma-
nent improvements, as vacant
lots, which can be purchased only
at public sale, and at not less than
the appraised value, but this
course would be palpable injus-
tice to the persons who owned the
improvements that were destroyed
by fire, and who intended to re-
place them by other improvements
of such character as would bring
the lots within the description OF
improved lots.
1t is thought, therefore, that the
intent of the act will be fully car
ried out and no rights violated if
your commission classify those
lots that but for the fire would have
been, in fact, improved lots, as
improved lots, and permit the
owner of the improvements that
were dstroyed to purchase the
same as such under the law. In
order to do this however, you will,
where the debris remaining on the
lot is not sufficient to satisfy you
of the permanent character of the
that had been on
the lot, take testimony with ref
erence thereto. and from the same
determine whether or not the inn
provements were of such perma-
nent character as to make an i'm
proved lot within the law.
BY this it will be understood |

GERMAN FLAG OVER AP|A
MATAAFA HAS BEEN SELECTED
TO RULE.
Reported Action of the Germans That
May Bring Out Protest From Wash
ington-Trouble is Imminent.

APIA Samoa, December 13.-Nia
Auckland December 19.-The German
flag was hoisted over the Courthouse
today as an official notification of the
annexation of the islands, by agree
ment, to Germany. The German Con-
sui on board the Cormoran, was inter
viewed by the Samoan chiefs They in
formed the Consul that Mataafa would
be selected to rule. Having declared
their government established the Ma
fatalities are driving the Malietoans
out of the villages. Trouble appears
imminent.
NEW YORK, December 20.-A special
to the Sun from Washington says: Con-
siderable establishment was created IN
official circles today over the dispatch
from Apia, published in the morning
newspapers, which said that the Ger
man flag had been raised over the Apia
Courthouse on December 18th as an of
fetal notification of the annexation of
the Samoan islands by Germany. AS
the United States has not surrendered
possession of the island of Upolo, upon
which Apa is situated, to Germany and
cannot do so until the partition treaty
has been ratified by the Senate, such
proceeding on the part of the German
officials would constitute a distinct af-
front to this Government and also to
Great Britain, whose interest in Samoa
still remains intact.
In advance OF Othcial information
the officials here decline to make any
comment on the news, but it was leaTr-
ed that if the report proves true and
has the sanction of the German Gov
eminent, representations amounting to
a protest will he made.
WASHINGTON December 20.-The
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
today authorized favorable report up
on the two treaties negotiated with
Great Britain and Germany for the dis
solution of the tripartite agreement for
the control of the Samoan islands. Sen
ator Bacon, one of the new Democratic
members of the committee, was the on
ly opponent of the treaty, and he did
not seek to delay the reporting of it to
the Senate. His opposition was direct
ed toward the acquisition by this coun-
try of the Island of Tutuila, and his OPP
position to that was based upon the
contention that the consent of the ISL
anders should be first secured. He was
met on this proposition with the state
ment that the natives were nothing
more than wandering tribes, and with
the argument that the United States
could not afford to foregO the oppor
tunity to secure complete control of Pa
go Pago harbor which this treaty fur
nished.

captured another band of guerrillas
which were terrorizing a large section

of the band.
General Hughes has captured insur-

was killed and one wounded. The in
surgents in the island of Panay are
probably suppressed.

Only last week we examined the beer
orewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such high grade
of beer is most beneficial ir it's use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior
excellence is a very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases of
debilitation, and they can safely order
