The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-02-10

From the time the train leaves
Chetopa on the north boundary
of the Cherokee nation all the way
TOR 80 miles south till it reaches
the beautiful and bustling city of
Vinita the eye of the traveller is
charmed with the splendid piano.
rams Of natural scenery that
spreads out on either side. 1t is
not the rugged hillside, nor the
towering mountain, nor yet the
level plain, but the undulating Wis
tas of fertile prairie lands where
here and there nestle coy farm
houses, silent harbingers Of the
tide of anglo-saxon enterprise that
Is restless and anxious to invade
and subdue the rich acres of pro
ductive soil waiting in its primeral
virginity. Here and there a square
of black marks small farm in the
distance where the fertile glebe
has been broken by the plow Of
some pioneer farmer. Great
stretches Of rank prairie grass
fenced with three rusty wires
show where the thrifty herdsman
has pastured his thousands OF
long. horned steers.
Nearly 30 years ago the town
site of vinita was selected by Col.
L. c. Boudinot, one of the most
distinguished Cherokee statesmen
the tribe ever produced. Before
) the Frisco reached the crossing of
the Katy, Boudinot, acting on the
advice of railroad men, selecie ed the
present site. 1t is peculiarly IA
vorably located and is in the very
heart of one of the finest stretches
Of country on the habitable globe.
A dozen miles to the east flows the
clear and placid Grand, river the
delight OF hunters and fishermen
for generations back, which is
skirted by the richest land and the
finest timber in the world. Forty
miles to the west flows the Verdi
girls with its broad valleys of pro-
ductive farm lands, and the coun-
try between is in agricultural val
ue the wonder and admiration of
every farmer who has had the
pleasure Of viewing it.
Vinita is the home of the
wealthiest cattlemen in the whole
territory. We have half dozen
cattlemen in Vinita whose aggre-
gate wealth will easily reach half
a million. These men are inter-
ested in Vinita and are investing
their money here and are deter
mined to see that no town in the
territory gets the advantage in
point of securing the many good
things that are sure to come to the
territory with the changes now in
progress.
One of the strongest factors in
the commercial advantages OF vi.
nita is the character of it's people.
This will especially be noticeable
when compared with other terri
tory towns. Rarely do we find
such a wonderful combination of
advantages as here in Vinita.

ELECTION PROSECUTIONS
Fifteen Citizens of Pitt County Indicted
Before a Federal Commissioner

Raleigh, N. c., May ia special to
The News and Observer from Green
willie, n. c., says: At this place yester-
day, fully sever months after the state
election, fifteen of the best citizens of
the town and vicinity were arrested and
brought before United States Commits
sioner Ormond, on the charge of con-
spring to prevent the casting of votes
by four negroes at a precinct about
two miles north of G~reenville in the
election referred to.
The arrest was made on information
apparently furnished by a negro who
was so illiterate that his mark instead
of autograph appears on h affidavit
in evidence. The negro himself de-
clares, however, that he did not know
what he was signing, as the paper was
not read to him; that he does not know
the parties and is wholly ignorant Of
the affair in which the affidavit de-
clares they figured. He says, in con-
c~lusion, that he was told to make his
mark and that he did SO, without any
idea of what it involved.
The case was called this morning at
10 o'clock. 1t progressed slowly all day
and will continue tomorrow. Eight
witnesses were examined for the prose
cution today-seven populists and one
negro,

The Buffalo strikers Determined

Buffalo, n. Y, May 1.-the grain
shovelers tonight adopted resolutions
repudiating all agreement made with
the Lake Carriers Association and de-
manding the unequivocal abrogation of
contract with MIR. Connors.
The striking freight handlers at their
meeting voted TO ignore the advise of
Bishop Quigley, in winch he urged
them tc return to work under the
terms granted by the associated lake
lines at the conference this afternoon
The action taken at these two meet
ings tonight, it is thought, will end for
some time to come the negotiations
which have been in progress for over
two weeks to bring a settlement Of the
dock troubles. The grain shovelers
| will refuse to make any further prop
osition to either the lake carriers or to
the contractor, and as the lake carriers
some days ago decided to withdraw
from the conflict the indications are
! that the strike will be permitted tc
ear self out.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 19.-Sunday
observance was the question which
took the major part of the Presbyte-
rian assembly's time today. Most Of
the afternoon session was devoted to
an earnest and, often, excited discus
sion or the report of the special COM
mlttee on Sabbath observance. In the
end the committees eight resolutions
were adopted with slight amendments
and two were added.
In the discussion, Sunday street car,
the Sunday train and the railroad ex-
cursion, the newspaper of Sunday, h
Sunday working Presbyterian and ev-
cry form of activity which is not in
harmony with the literal meaning of
the Fourth Commandment was con-
( demned.
p Indignant comments were made when
a special committee reported that 1t
had not been able to keep congress and
the president from granting the Ro-
man Catholics permission to erect a
chapel OF the West DIN military
academy
In the debate on the Sabbath resolu-
tiOns, almost every speaker gave evil
dence of being imbued with the feel
ing expressed in he words of the COM
mittee: THE American Christian Sab
bath is in imminent peril; in fact, in
many Of our large cities and in other
parts of our land, it is already nearly
lost. This means that American lib
erty and American institutions are in
peril, for of these the American Sab
