Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1899-07-20

The letter of acceptance of Judge
Burlington, printed in today's
Weekly Chieftain, has the right
ring. There is no dodging, no
play upon words, no subterfuges
to mislead the Cherokee people,
but all classes and conditions are
recognized, and the party which
the judge has the honor to lead is
pledged to protect them all in their
individual rights.

The writer of "Yinita Notes, "
printed in several territory ex-
changes, seems to have a diseased
liver. He never has a good word
for the town, nor the people of the
town. The disgruntled writer of
"Vinita Notes" should get into a
more congenial community.

presided over BY President Galloway
The matter was taken up in the
order in which it was published in
The recent notice. and it was agreed
to build practically as mentioned in
said notice, but final action was de-
ferred till an adjourned meeting to be
held next Saturday evening.
Two or three protests we're made
by property owners, but matters were
soon satisfactorily adjusted, with the
possible exception of one case
These proposed sidewalks are to
be built in parts of the city where
they are most needed, and it is be-
lieyed that nearly every person in
this city heartily upholds the board
in its action in this matter. We
need sidewalks very much and 1t is

There is some doubt as to whether the
summer opera company creates or merely
supplies a demand There is no doubt at
all, however, about its now being a regu-
lar part Of the summer season amuse-
ments. The painted scenery is now set
boldly in the very heart of nature itself
The prima donna and the tenor, the
comedians and the chorus, in fact all the
accessories Of comic opera, somewhat i'm
pudently and most successfully set them
selves up as rivals of moonlight effects,
rustic lanes and the rest of natures par
aphernalia- Wildwood this season has
been chosen as the background for the
production of several we'll known comic
operas by the Merrie Bell Opera COM
pany. Its initial performance, 'Boccac-
clio, was given yesterday afternoon at
the Wildwood pavilion before an audi
ence not very large numerically, but suf-
nclentIy enthusiastic to call forth the
pest that was in the company, and that
was not so bad. It possesses a fine bari
tone in George Olmi, an excellent come
dian in Harry Lightwood and some good
male voices in the chorus E. F. Sea-
MANS the tenor, has undoubtedly good
voice, but owing to the illness of Mr..
Seamans it was not heard to advantage
yesterday.
Boccacc1o" is not quite so familiar to
theater-goers as the majority of comic
operas, and for that reason 1t is usually
more OF success. The solos and Choir
uses are tuneful, but they have not been
worn threadbare by good, bad and in
di1ferent singers, and this lack of famili.
arity prevents an audience from being
nerVously critical.
MISS Fannie Meyers as Boccaccio
proved herself a fair actress, but left
much to be desired both as regards voice
ana costume Her voice improved to-
ward the end of the opera, but it is too
light voice for the part.

of the committee were present, represent

st. Palu.
Chairman Peter Kerst read reports
from societies throughout the state fore
shadowing a very large attendance He
stated, from the advance reports, that the
estimate Of 1900 visitors being attracted
to st. Paul by the convention is very
conservative The railroad committee re-
