THE BEER BUSINESS.
Two Different Write-upS of
WagOner's Staple In
duStry,

Louis Cohn, who for the past
few years has been conducting
a number of Rochester Tonic joints
in the northern district has sold
all his interests in the business
to B. F. Lissaurer who has been
the publiser of the Wine, Beer and
Liquor Dealers Journal of Kan
sas City, Mo- Mr.. Lissaurer was
at one time a candidate for beer
commissioner of Missouri and is
considered one of the best authori-
ties On beer in the United States.
He has been experimenting with a
chemical preparation, which he
has named "Mist" and he holds
letters from the best chemsists in
the United States certifying to the
mountaineering effects of the
same and commenting upon the
article.-Wagoner Record.
In this connection it is not out of
place to say that Mr.. Lissaurer is
not the only man who is expert
menting with enlist" Saturday
evening two gentlemen from Vini-
ia, went into a "place" at Wagon
er and drank bottle of "Mist. !"
While intoxication did not result in
their case, nor was the appearance
of any spirits in the compound ap-
preciable, everybody in the room
when the two went in, except
Cohn and his barkeeper, were
drunk-some drunker than others,
of course, but all far enough along
to be classed as drunk. They may
have come into Cohn's place drunk
or have been drinking something
beside Mist" but all indications
pointed towards mist" as the
mystifyer. Cohn seemed to be
"selling out at the time the two
Vinita parties called, and the
goods" were being delivered as
fast as he and his man could open
the barrels and draw the corks.
The briskness of business made it
necessary for Mr.. Cohn's hired
man to apologize for the "Mist"
being warm. This information
for the enlightment of the Record
man.

Epilepsy Supposed to Have Caused
Jack Williams Death.

Newt Williams son Jack, four
teen years of age. was found dead
in bed last Monday. He has been
subject to epileptic fits for a year
or more and it is presumed one of
them caused his death, as he went
to bed in apparently good health.
The family live on Billy William
sons farm, on White Oak. The
young man was treated by differ
ent doctors for a year more but
without obtaining relief.

Work Of The Commission.

The Dawes commission came in
Saturday evening from the Choc-
taw nation, having completed the
enrolment at Red Oak, The COM
mission will next convene at
HartshOrne about August l, and
from there go to Calvin and Du-
rant, finishing its work among the
Choctaws at South Canadian.
''People may think we have a
soft snap, but tell you they are
mistaken" said Col. McKennon
to a reporter Saturday. "We are
very busy and have all we can do.
We begin work at 7:30 in the
morning ana close at 6 or 7 in the
evening, and yet the days work is
not finished; after that there is a
great deal of work to be done in
the way of closing up the books
and official correspondence, We
enrolled at Red Oak about $50
Indians and 10 negroes, making
a total ofabout 1920; and have en-
rolled up TO the present time, alto
gether, about $3.50 Choctaw citi-
zens and $500 negroes, constitut-
ing about twO-thirds the total
population of citizens. Owing to
the excessive death rate last year,
the increase and death rate are
about equal, making but little
difference IN point of numbers be-
tween this roll and that of 1896. 3"

THE PASSING OF A NATION.

The unconditional pardon and
liberation of the last remaining
nine convicts confined in the old
national prison at Tahlequah this
week, marks an epoch in the pass
ing of tribal autonomy of the In
dian Territory. 1t is an echo OF a
departing nation, and the end Of a
chapter in the intensely interest
ing drama of Cherokee history.
For nearly a year these persons
have been confined in a prison
that had no existence in law, who
were serving sentence OF a court
defunct, and in expiation of crimes
committed against no existing law.
This curious state of affairs per-
haps never had a parallel outside
of the the Indian Territory. To
the stocial Cherokee these passing
events are of deep significance and
are full of sentiment and pathos.
The setting of the sun of a nation of
people stirs the debths of the
thoughtful mind, and brings up
the sad reflection that "the ways
of man are vanity" and that time
is the great leveler of all things.
Rome and Greece and Athens and
Carthage reached their zenith and
passed off the stage of action, and
now piles of ruins only mark their
former greatness.

In answer to the above The
Chieftain will say it has as little
use for Downing corruption as
it has for National corruption.
1t is a matter of history that Wolf
Coon not only refused to sign the
treaty but that he announced to
the commission that he would sign
no treaty that meant the abolition
of tribal relations. 1t is in vain
at this day to try to bolster or pal
late the action of the leaders of
the National party. The party
opposed the resolution providing
for a commission to treat with the
Dawes commission, and now It's
only hope of success is to array
the fullbloods against the govern
ment and the progressive element
of the Cherokee people in attempt
ing and equitable settlement of
Cherokee affairs. The National
idea is to embarrass the Dawes
commission in every way possible
and to hold out to the bitter end
against making a treaty of any
kind. Nobody will be mislead by
the declarations Of the Nationals
at this time. The party would
better jisband, for it has outllved
its usefulness.

1t is going to be hard job to
infuse much enthusiasm into the
present political campaign in the
Cherokee nation. 1t is like cleo
trifying a corpse; it may be made
to appear alive but so soon as the
wire is removed ceases to move.
The Cherokee government is prac-
tically dead and the only thing
left to be done is to settle up the
estate of the deceased. But to
properly administer the estate it
is important to have a chief and
council in sympathy with the
spirit of progress and of the times
in which We are living. Judge T.
NJ. Burlington as chief and an
overwhelming Downing majority
in both houses of the national
council would be the proper thing.
