Kindness UnexampIed.

When asked this week what was
his Judgment on the past years work
Of his church, Bro. Butler said that
there had unmistakably been gains
along all lines. But ne said something
else: He said that if the people OF vi
uita were as religious as they were
kind, the place would be a paradise.
During his ministerial work the gen.
ueman said that himself and family
had always been treated well where
ever stationed, and had never had
reason for complaint. The kindness,
however, showered upon them since
coming to Vinita was at times over
whelming- had never known
anything similar and could not find
words 20 express their gratitude.

THE MASS MEETING.
Endorsements and ReSOlu-
tons Passed Friday
Night.

Tho teachers mass meeting last
Friday night was an enthusiastic
affair. a large number OF the
prominent citizens of this city were
present and to some extent took
part in the proceedings.
The resolutions passed carried
with them several endorsements
and embodied the sense of the
meeting.
Judge Yancy Lewis, Mr.. Nc
Murray aud others addressed the
audience. The following are the
resolutions and proceedings of the
meeting:
Be it resolved, That this Terri
torial Teachers Association of the
Indian Territory records most en-
phatically its appreciation and en-
dorsement of the recommendations
of the Dawes commission, the In
dian inspector, the secretary of
the interior, and the president of
the United States with regard to
the education of the citizens of the
United States in this territory, and
most earnestly hopes that congress
will at once take such action as
shall make the provisions recon-
mended. This association, being
largely made up of those who,
through various voluntary agen-
cies, have been attempting to meet
the crying need in this direction,
records its conviction that all such
agencies together car do practi-
caily only an infnitesmal part of
the work and that only govern
mental action is sufficient TO cope
with the need. This it feels should
be given on account of the excep-
tional and urgent nature of the
case. The thousands of children
growing no in entire ignorance are
a perennial source of supply for
criminal classes. and growing up
in the midst of the Indian popula-
ton make the problem of fitting |
them for citizenship infinitely |
harder.
Be it further resolved, that this
association pledges itself to sup
port by all means in its power,
efforts to bring about this result,
and to that end directs that the
president appoint a committee to
confer with the Dawes commits
sion, the Indian inspector and
others interested as they, in be-
half of the association may best
aid in this work.
Committee, y. G.. Evans, Mus
kogee; ]. \. Lynn, McAlester; B.
R. Morrison, Vinita; G.. d. Tur-
ney, Vinita, f. H. Rishel, Atoka.
On motion President Caldwell |
was added to the committee.
On motion Judge Yancy Lewis
was requested to cooperate with
the above committee for the pur-
pose of drawing up a memorial
and formulating a bill to be pre-
sented to congress as embodying
the needs of the territory in this |
direction. The motion was unani-
mously adopted.
The president also appointed a
committee on literature and sup
plimentary reading consisting of

RAILRoADERs N ONE UNION.
Scheme ON Foot to Form . Central
Federation Of All Branches.

Federation Of All Branches.
Railroad employees OF the country are try
ing to form federation of al their labor
unions.
The declarations Is being agitated by the
employees Of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western railroad.s who preached the subject
at the recent convention OF railroad men at
Scranton. Speeches on the proposition met
with the heartiest approval.
The employees OF the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna Il Western railroad have already
begun the movement. They are forming
a federation OF all the branches OF the en-
ployes of the road.
Leaders OF railway employees unions have
recognized that the drawback to the sue
cess OF movements for higher wages and
better conditions has been the failure OF
all branches to act In concert.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers has always refused to assist or JOIN
In any movements of the firemen, con-
ductors or trainmen
A committee of the employees Of the De-
aware, Laekawanna & Western railroad
will wait on the officers of the road We'd
nesday next At this conference the en-
p.oyes win represent a solid front. The
committee VIII represent a federation OF
all branches On the success OF this move
ment will depend the formation of other
declarations on other roads and finally the
GENERALIZATION OF all unions m one central
federation. representing 10000 men.
1t Is believed the movement on the Della
ware. Lackawanna & Western railroad
will be successful, since the demands will
be reasonable. The men will ask for a re-
turn to the conditions existing before the
recent change of the management Of the
road.
1t is believed that rather than go to the
expense OF bringing on tie-up the officials
will either grant all demands made or COM
promise with the employees.
