A roDERN GRETNA GREEN.
vinita's Old Time Days Coming
Back.

Vinita Is fast becoming the Gretna
Green Of love-sick swains and bonny
lass from 1.-The states, where the
marriage laws are not so liberal as
here.
Yesterday morning at the little
town OF Rowena, way up in northeast
Missouri, just west of Quincy, H.,
Ben Cant and Maude Vanlandingham
started to Sunday school, just as they
had done scores of other times with
out in any way arousing the suspic-
ions of Maude's doting parents as to
the intentions of "the children" But
Ben was fixed" with railroad tickets
for two, and they, instead OF going to
sabbath school went to the depot at
the little town on the Katy with the
romantic name and took the train for
Vinita. The couple arrived on the
o'clock train this morning. After get
ting breakfast at the Western they
lost no time in hying themselves to
the clerks office and securing IL
cense. Judge Burlington was on hand
and performed the ceremony without
delay, and the youthful and unso-
phisticated bride and groom walked
away as happy and contented as two
turtle doves on spring morning.

One Item Worth a Dollar.

The Daily Chieftain man, while
talking to George Nidiffer today was
greeted by the following encouraging
words: "The daily is all right; l got
one item out of it the other day that
was worth a dollar to me; it was the
date of General Stan Watie's death;
was just boy when he died, and lived
neighbors to his family: | have tried
often to learn the date Of the generals
death, but never could find out till |
saw it in The Daily Chieftain a few
days ago." Henry Ballard was pres
ent and that gentleman remarked that
he was ''like little Mis-. Pauline Kel-
ley-he always read The Daily Chief
tain before he looked at his city
daily"

WORK OF RELIEF UNION.
The President Describes the Plans
and Procedure.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-The people OF
Vinita having shown great interest in
the relief union which has just been
organized, | think it important that
something should be said as to the
scope and manner OF the work to be
accomplished. The desire Of those in
terested is to reach all those who are
destitute and dependent, and to do
this work thoroughly and in a busi-
ness-like manner. BY methods al
ready adopted we hope to distribute
the funds contributed by members of
the union so that none Of those who
desire and deserve help will be over
looked. It is proposed to furnish only
such aid as is absolutely necessary for
present needs, as too liberal allow
ance would have a tendency to en-
courage a condition of dependency.
The names of the several relief COM
mittees for the different districts have
already been published in your paper,
and it is desired that cases of destitu-
tion needing attention be reported to
the committee for the proper district,
or to any officer Of the union. Under
our regulations relief can be granted
for one-half mile beyond the city lin
its. The executive committee will
not recognize and assume any expen-
ditures except such as are previously
approved. We shall endeavor to make
this organization one Of the perma-
nent institutions of the city, and be-
lleve that its successful operation will
benefit those who contribute to it's
support as well as those who, through
it. receive aid. Very truly,
w. NJ. MELLEfrE.

South Americas suieide wind.

In Brazil and other parts of South
America the natives know and fear a
certain condition of the air which they
call "suicide wind.
1t is not a superstition, but an actual
condition of the atmosphere which
seems to drive the people to Madness
and during it's continuance self infiot-
ed deaths are numerous
Criminologists and scientists all over
the world are interested in this peculiar
atmospheric influence. which is indi-
Gated by soft, moist, warm air that
settles heavily on the earth.
The climatic condition known as the
suicide wind" is greatly dreaded in
that part of the country.
Statistics prove that suicides and 9TH
er crimes occur together or in waves as
they are described.
