HE WASTED HIS BREATH.

| happened into one of the railway sta
tions yesterday morning, and while was
waiting for train to come in, sat me
down beside a grave and dignifed little
girl of perhaps four or five. Presently a
man in the uniform of the railway COM
pany came in and bawled out long list of
perfectly unintelIigible Names The little
girl looked at him disprovingly. Then
she looked up at me.
"Ain't that awful silly way for a great
big man to talk" she said

Announcement.

To accommodate those who are partial to
the use of atomzers in applying liquids
into the nasal passages for catarrhal trou-
bles, the proprietors prepare Cream Balm
in liquid form, which will be known as
Ely's Liquid Cream Balm. Price includ-
ing the spraying tube is 10 cents Drug
gists or by mail. The liquid form embodies
the medicinal properties of the solid prep
aration. Cream Balm is quickly absorbed
by the membrane and does not dry up the
secretons but changes them to natural

OREENBACKS
or Government Money.

At close of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following:
" If that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be-
come indurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. 1t will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. 1t will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will go to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE
DESTROYED OR 1T WILL DE-
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON
THIS GLOBE
The famous Hazard circular, to
capitalists in New York, and the Buell.
Bank circular to United States Bank
ers, both emanating from London, and
the fabulous corruption fund raised in
England and Germany, estimated at
ST., 500, 900, were the agents that Sc
cured the closing of our nAnts against
silver.
The "walk into my parlor" policy
of England, during and since the
Spanish War, is the latest evidence
of English Diplomacy in shaping the
destiny of the United States Govern
ment.
Notwithstanding the famine price
of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabu-
lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent.
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.
For a thorough understanding of
the money question, or silver issue,
the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly
given evidence of its ability to teach,
explain and produce all facts and
truth. 1t is paper that ought and
can be read by all classes with pleas
ure and profit.

NO MAN IN THE WELL.
This Was the Judgment Of
the Fishers.

Andrew Underwood, an old man
who has been living up near the
Katy stock yards created stir in
town this morning by announcing
that he had discovered the dead
body of man In the big we'll at
the old Katy tank in the north
part of town. Underwood's story
is that several months ago while
fishing for srnken bucket in the
we'll that he drew to the surface
what he took to be the body of a
man. He reported the matter to
the neighbors who used water
from the well but none of them
seemed credulous enough to even
make an investigation, yet he still
AYERS that it was the body of
man.
About one hundred men and
boys repaired to the old well this
morning armed With ropes and
hooks, and after fishing for an hour
or two gave up the idea of finding |
anything and departed with a good
deal of inward disappointment.

THE NgGR0 WAS SCARED.
Railroad Men at Monett
are Active.

A colored man had a thrilling
experience in the city of Monet.
AS is we'll known the railroad
men in that town do not allow a
colored man to linger long there,
but of this the travelling darkey
knew nothing. Innocent Of ap-
preaching harm, he arrived in Mo-
nett from Arkansas. Being hung
ry he hunted a nearby restaurant
and went in to get supper. No
one was in the room at the time,
but in short time little white
girl appeared, she looked at him
a moment but did not offer to take
his order. She disappeared in the
kitchen aud the colored man sat
still, hoping that some one would
serve him.
In about ten minutes crowd OF
railroad n en- appeared in front and
at the same time another lot of
them came in the back way. They
carried long rope, which was
.unceremoniously thrown around
the darkey's neck. He was then
led out amid hooting and jeering
throng, taken to the raiload and
given three minutes to get outside
of the corporate limits.
Mr.. Darkey didn't need SO much
|time;. and said he still had two
minutes and half time coming
to him there. He ran as he never
ran before and did not check his
speed until he was long distance
this side OF Peirce City. For once
in his life the fellow said he was
"plum skeered to def" and he
swore by all the tabled gods Of
Ethiopia that be would go clear
around by St. Louis before he ever
tried to 60 back to Arkansas by |

Hon. John Z. Gunter of Red
land, Sequoyah district, is a candi'
ate for chief on the Downing
ticket, subject to the Downing con.
vention, which meets Oh the 22nd
inst. Mr.. Gunter is no stranger
to the Cherokee people, having
served on the bench as chief JUS
tice, also held other public ices
of trust and honor, and is at pres
ent senator from Sequoyah dis
Ftrict. Mr.. Gunter is man with q
clean record both public and pri-
vate, and is competent and worthy
to hold any Office within the gift
Of the Cherokee people. His
father, Judge Gunter, was a
wealthy man in Georgia, before
coming to this nation. He erect
ed the first cotton gin in the In
dian Territory, which stood about
q mile south of where the town of
Muldrow is now located, on the
farm which his daughter, Mrs.
Pack, now occupies. This was
favorite stopping place for Sequo-
yah, the inventor Of the Cherokee
alphabet, as be came and went to

Cherokee nation should be entitled

The Grand JurT.

After nine days. session the
grand jury has taken a recess un-
til the 10Th OF June, at which time
it will reconvene to continue the
session until the evil doers shall
have been put on the dockets of
the United States courts of the
Northern district. During the
present sitting AZ true bills have
been found and eight cases have
been ignored. OF the true bills
found three are for murder, four
for assault to kill and one for man
slaughter and Is for kidnapping.
The remainder are for the various
degrees of larceny, whiskey, etc.
We understand that one cause of
the recess at this time is that the
waters are so high that witnesses
cannot be brought before the
grand jury to give evidence. -

TO PARK RIGHT OF WAY.
Plan to Convert an Eye-Sore
Into a Beauty Spot.

A number of gentlemen inter-
ested in the present and future
welfare of Vinita met with the
mayor and some members of the
city council at Fortner and Bagby's
Office this afternoon to formulate
plans for the creation and i'm
provement of a city park or plaza
On the block of railroad land lying
between Wilson street and the
Katy right-of-way and Illinois
avenue and the Frisco. The plan
suggested and unanimously agreed
upon was to ask the Frisco
to remove its wye, which
crosses diagonally. the plat
of land proposed to be made
into park, and at the same time
ask the Katy to allow one hundred
feet to remain on the west of its |
right of way. This would give a
block of ground about $50 feet by
400 in extent, to be laid out into
beautiful city square, set with
ornamental trees and shrub
berry and laid out with
4
gravel walks and flower beds.

morrow evening to interview the

quishment of their rights in the

1t is gratifying to note the alac-
rity with which the people of vi
nita take hold OF proposition to
establish first class public school
system. From present indications
there will be little or no opposi-
tion to the levy of six mills or
more if necessary to maintain the
schools, and the heaviest taxpay-
,rs of the town as a rule are the
most enthusiastic advocates of the
enterprise. AS to the purchase of
the Worcester academy property
nothing definite can be said, but it
is earnestly hoped that some pro-
vision can be made whereby the
city can possess itself of that ex-
cellent piece of school property.
However, if the academy cannot
be had ON reasonable terms, q
building can be erected on the lot
owned by the city,
