Reports Untrue.

London, Dec. Is. - Reports of a great
British victory at Ladysmith, which
seem to have been without a basis of
truth, were evidently put in circulation
by spectators with view to influence
ing the stock markets. Further details
of the battle at Magersfontein but add
to the seriousness of the British re-
verse. A revised list of the total cas-
ualties to the British troops places the
number at S32. The Boer loss is said to
be 600.

advantage of the situation.

THE DOWNING PLATFORM.
Speedy and Equitable, Sc :
tIement the Issue.

Whereas, The congress of the
United States has enacted laws in
the past few years and particular
ly on June 2Sth, 1898, over the
protest of the Cherokee nation,
violative of our treaty rights which
destroyed our judicial system and
greatly limited the authority of
our executive and legislative de-
partments and provided for a
change in our land tenure, and
Whereas, The authorities of the
Cherokee nation because of this
legislation are unable to admin
lister our affairs in accordance with
our constitution and laws and in as
much as there is no forum wherein
they can be enforced, and
Whereas, No revenues for the
future maintenance of the govern
eminent can be collected, and
Whereas, The degree OF un-
certainty which attends the admin
istration of our affairs is destruc-
tive of properly rights and paralyz-
ing to business interests, There
fore
The Downing party, if success
fui in the coming election, pledges
its most earnest and conscientious
endeavors in obtaining, with rigid
economy, a speedy settlement of
all our political and property
rights with the government of the
United States TO the end that or
future polical status may be def
nitely determed and that a fair
and equitable division of all our
communal property of every kind
and character, including our lands
and moneys, may be made among
all the citizens of the Cherokee
nation; and TO be more definite as
TO to our method of settlement we
hereby heartily endorse and APP
prove the agreement entered into
by and between The commissions
the governments of
the United States and the Chero-
kee nation on January 14th, 1899,
and favor an extension of the time
in said agreement for the ratifica-
ton Of the same by the govern
ment of the United States.

am that scared, Mr.. Chieftain,
that l don't know which way to

cause of the whole thing. You
see William was readin' of 'em

The paper sed it had broke out
bad an violent over in sum of the
furrin countries an was spreadin'
at an amazin' an rapid rate. 1t
sed that people cached it from rats

Now, please don't think fur min

you have to string beans or of an

It's quite frequent that I furget to
put 'em back on agin so you see
that's the reason l feel Uneasy
about it. Well, if l hain't already

Then l went to town yesterday
and bought five rat traps. 1 felt

an l caught one of my own cats

Mission.

Service were conducted Tuesday
night at St. Johns Episcopal
church by the Right Rev. Francis
K. Brooke, bishop of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory, and the
Rev. Thos. Lloyd, of.this city. At
the close of the beautiful evening
service Bishop Brooke made an
address upon confirmation. He
very lucidly explained its true
meaning and gave an interesting
account of the history of this rite
which can be traced back in an
unbroken apostolic succession to
the time OF the Saviour. The close
attention given Bishop Brooke
showed the deep impression he
made upon his auditors.
At the close of his address the
solemn rite of confirmation was
administered to Captain and Mrs.
John J. Spencer and Master Will
lie Lemon, of this city. During
the offertory DR.. r. o. Owen sang
Gaunod's beautiful solo, "Nazar-
eth. +" DR.. Owen was also made a
member of the vestry of St. Johns
church.

several who could not attend the
service last night on account Of
sickness. The bishop while here
is the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. J. II.

FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Teachers Appointed For White and
COIOred Schools.

DR.. A. X. Wray, representing
the Congregational Home Mission
airy society, was here Saturday ne
gotiating with the city board ofedu-
cation regarding the academy. All
agree that Worcester academy Is
the logical place for Vinita pub
lie school, and there seem to be no
unsurmountable obstacles in the
way of the matter being arranged.
DR.. Wray has just returned from
New Haven, Conn, where the an
nual meeting of the society was
held, and at its conclusion visited
the cffice of the society in New
York. In company with the law
officer of the society be went over
all the papers relating to the acad-
emy. As a result of that investi-
CATION the conclusion was reached
that it would be inadvisable to sell
the property at this time-that
there is a moral if not a legal OBJ
legation not to sell. unless with the
purpose of reinvesting the pro-
ceeds in this nation. But this sit
uatiOn will not necessarily operate
to prevent the occupation of the
property by the city-and acquir-
ing when Z fee simple title can be
given.

perty was arranged sad Prof.

assume that the value of the av-
erage allotment among the people
at large viii not exceed 81 900; for
the purpose ofillustrating the point
let US take it to be just one thous-
and dollars. This town man now,
you see, has already $1,000 of
the common Cherokee property;
but he is allowed still to 60 out in
TO the country and take another
thousand dollars of the common
estate in the form of an allotment;
that is, he gets $4,000 worth of the
property, which is equal to four al
lotments, while the man who lives
in the country gets only one.
The National party is opposed
to this scheme of allotment as
wholly unjust to the common peo-
pie. The Downing party are in
favor of it. What say you, reader?
Which party is in the right here
and deserving your support?
Now let ii be noticed here that
the wrong proposed by the Down
ing men in this unfair plan of al
lotment bears equally hard upon
all citizens, (red, white and black, }
who happen to live outside of the
towns, and have no hand in this
great townsite speculation. The
white adopted citizen and the full
blood here stand upon the same
footing; they are the victims alike
of the same proposed outrage, and
have the same motive for resisting
the policy of the Downing party
who are endeavoring to, secure its
consummation. Too QUA sTEE.

The COhu Case Decided.

The court of appeals handed
down a decision IN the noted Cohn
case. The court reversed Judge
Sprlnger's ruling. The judges Of
the Indian Territory seem to be
divided on this question. Two of
them hold that it is unlawful
to sell malt tonics or hop ale; the
other two hold that to be viola
ton, it must be proved that i; is
intoxicating. A man tried and
convicted before either Judge
Thomas or Judge Clayton, under
the ruling, would be reversed by
