UNSTINTED PRAISE
The New York sans Review or the

The New York sans Review or the
Forep 'uEh-SeIIs Aggregation,
The New York Sun. in reviewing the in
augural performance of the combined
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers cir
cuses said:
Last night set the circus ball a-rolling.
The United Forepaugh andSells circus took
possession of the Garden, and for. two
hours and a half three rings and a plat
form did all in their power to make the
audience cross-eyed in three directions at
once.
From time immemorial the Forepaugh
show has been noted for the surprising
excellence of its trained animals Last
night the circus lived up to its reputation.
From the trained seals to the educated
elephants the animals seemed clever
enough to be college graduates. In this
respect, at least, the Forepaugh Is far
ahead OF the Barnum show. The grand
triumphal entree was more gorgeous than
usual, and the hippidrome events were
cleverly sandwiched in between the acts
In the rings, making a very welcome
break I'm the succession OF stunts
Another feature which was far above
the average was the clown contingent.
Some OF them were really comical last
night and they worked with an enthusiasm
and dash that was really effective. The
Hanlons, in their trapeze act, were the
most thrilling feature Of the programme,
but there were a number of other mid
air feats which ran them close for first
honors.
For many the most interesting act of
all was William Germans feat OF driving
thirty-five Kentucky thoroughbreds at
gallop three times around the ring. The
bills announce German as the Apollo Bel
videre' OF horsemen. and he certainly sue
ceeds In living up TO the title.
The riders are unusually fine, and in
clude Oscar Lowande, Stick Davenport,
William De Mott. sam Bennett. the Coreas
and the Dsvenes.
The MelrOsas give an uncommonly in
tereSting aerial bicycle act. and Frank
Melvilles trained ponies captured all
hearts by their beauty even more than by
their intelligence.
I'm order TO size up the Sells Brothers
Forepaugh shows in a readily eomprehen-
sible way, Il may be said that 1t employs
fully as many experts es the Barnum and
Bailey shows ever did. except when the
last-named concern presented great the
atric sDectscles. The present entertain
ment Is a circus, first. last and all the
time. 1t seemed 10 give much eatis.ac-
ton TO the multitude which saw it"

POLITICS AT TAHLEQUAH.
BrutOn Turned Down-The
Old Treaty, Etc.
TAHLEQUAH, Nov. 81.

TAHLEQUAH, Nov. Il.
Special TO the Daily Chieftain.
Surprises and disappOintments
are rife in Tahlequah, and the po-
litical sea is far from smooth.
Some excitement and a great deal
of bitterness was caused Monday
when it became known that w. o.
Bruton had been turned down and
jeff Parks put in the place of exc
cutive secretary. Bruton had been
assured of his appointment soon
after the election in August, and
had sold his goods and chattels at
Muldrow, rented a house in Table
quah and made full arrangements
to move here at once and take up
the duties of the office that he was
sure was his. Bruton's friends are
disgusted, and Senator Gunter,
president of the senate is reported
to be very wroth, and says that
Chief Burlington has allowed him.
self to be imposed upon to the ex-
tent of breaking solemn pledges.
1t has been whispered around |
that the Daily Sentinel has been |
launched by a private fund to as
sist in furthering the revival of the
old agreement which died by linn
itatiOn the 4th of last March-the
balance is easy.
There never was a time when
schemes for getting money out of
the poor depleted Cherokee treas
ury were more rife than at the
present time. Men are contending
over official places and the good of
the masses of Cherokee citizens
finds little place in the mad
scramble for office. There is a
well organized lobby here favoring
the old treaty without change, and
there are all sorts of stories ahoat
as to the inwardness of the scheme.
The exective secretaries sworn
in Monday are ]. 7. Parks, Blue
1st assistant, A. B. Cum
ningham End assistant.
The board of education as now
constituted is composed of H. w.
C. Shelton, Thos. Carlyle and

THE MEDICO'S.
A Large Attendance Expected at Their
Meeting Next Month.

Meeting Next montn.
The following circular has been
issued by the medicos:
This association has been or
ganized for several years and Its
roll is a roll of honor. Nearly all
the physicians of the territory are
members or intend soon to be.
The next meeting will be at Wag-
oner December 5 and 6. Leading
physicians from Kansas City, Fort
Smith and other places consider
it worth their while to become
members of this body.
The December meeting prom
ises to be the largest attended and
most successful in the history OF
the Indian Territory Medical AS
sociation. The president and sec
retary have received assurances
from physicians in all parts of the
territory as well as i-ou many in
the neighboring states, which am
ply justifes the ABOVE. The pro-
gram is one of the most interesting
we have ever had, and authors of
papers have pledged themselves
to be on hand.
The citizens of Wagner will en-
tertain US on the evening of De-
cember 8 at a banquet, for which
an elaborate program has been ar
ranged. This is a feature never
before extended to US, and no pains
will be spared to give every ply
sician who attends every oppor-
tunity to spend the time in a most
interesting and enjoyable manner.
Therefore, for the dual purpose
of elevating the profession, thus
securing to ourselves and the pub
lie the advantages of professional
association in an organized capa-
city; and showing the enterprising
city of Wagner that we appreciate
the interest manifested in our
meeting, we earnestly request ev-
cry regular physician to attend.
Let US throw aside trivial excuses
| and all work to the end that the
Wagner meeting may mark an
epoch in the history of medicine
il the Indian Territory.
