LAST NIGHTS SHOW.
A Well Pleased Audience Attended
a Good Performance.

Perhaps a better pleased audi
ence never assembled together be-
fore than the one which attended
the performance given last night
by Harry MartellPs "The South
Before the War" Co. From the
time the curtain went up till il
fell there was one continual roar.
Every performer was an artist in
their respective parts. The sing
ing and dancing was good, The
rag time" singing by Miss Paul
inc Cottrill was fine, as was also
the dancing by the entire company.
The performance ended with a
grand cake walk and singing of
the Stars and Stripes and America.
On account OF small pox down the
road the company have cancelled
their date at South McAlester and
will play here again tonight at
reduced prices, 25 and 35 cents.
The company is good one and is
the kind that will draw good
house in Vinita.
Tomorrow night Joshua Simp-
kins is billed to appear. This is
also a good company and no doubt
will draw good house. .0

With the concurrence, advice and
consent of the governors of the differ
ent nations Col. ]. Blair Shoenfelt,
u. S. Indian Agent, has granted
several hunting permits to oparties liy-
ing outside Of the territory to hunt in
differ erent parts OF the country belong
ing to the five tribes. From now on
however, but few, If any, hunting per-
mits will be granted, as it has been de-
cided advisable by the authorities to
shut down on the permit business and
preserve what game there is left.
While there has not been any dis
crimI nate slaughter within the past
two months, there has been consider
able hunting by local sportsmen, and
the desire is to give birds and other
game chance for their life and to
this end no more permits will be
granted, at least only in isolated
cases. -Muskogee Times.

MYSTERIOUS Disappearance

A man claiming to be auaupholster-
er and cabinet maker, called at a
house in this city not long ago and
asked for work in his line. The lady
gave him the job Of repairing a piece
Of furniture which required some
glass; he said she would have to ad-
vance him $1.25 to purchase the need
ed glass, which she did. The uphol-
sterer and cabinet maker has not
been seen since, likewise the Sl.25 has
risanneared

That Outrageous Tax.

Revenue Inspector Cobb and Mr..
West, an Indian policeman, have
been after some more of the boys
today about the Creek tax. Drs.
Ruble and Thomas, and some
others in our city, had positively
refused to pay this outrageous tax.
So the two doctors were arrested
today, and, as we presume, neith-
er OF them wanted to be put out of
the territory without the company
of the other, they were not long
in coughing up the required
amount and turning it over-pos-
sibly as willingly as they would to
a highway robber that had de-
manded their possessions at the
muzzle of sixshooter. Some of
the parties wanted for their tax
had not been apprehended at last
accounts. Now, we all know that
this tax is opposed by every Uni
ted States citizen in the Greek ma
ton. Still we have had it to pay.
Now. can not the business men
and inhabitants of this town and
other communities in the Creek
nation take immediate action and
try to relieve the people of this
Infamous burden during the pres
ent session of congress? Remem-
Der, if nothing is done the taxes
will come up again Immediately
after the first of Wagon
er Sayings.

World from Paris says: Captain Drey-
fus in his present condition of health

known only to his relatives. Even the
friends who fought for him keep quiet
Both Labori and Demange We're seen by
the World correspondent. Each dis
claimed any intention of going to Rem
mes 70 see Dreyfus before his departure.
NJ. Labori said:
1.-THE pardon can be only accepted as
a preliminary to a future vindica tion.
Our appeal Is not yet withdrawn and If
possible. it won't be. At any rate, the
fight will not be withdrawn
Emile ZOla said IL the World cOrres-
pondent tonight: '"The Rennes trial was
the dark fourth act of a dark tragedy
How will the act end? Dreyfus will re-
gain his place in the army and the drama
will end with procession of handcuffed
generals led to prison or else the dark
days are just beginning for France, days
when justice will come with the sword
and torch and martyrs acquittal will
be secured with the blood of humanity
BY vindicating Dreyfus, France will vim
dictate herself. The curtain has risen on
the fifth act. The world watches"

to pull down and dispose of all temporary
Spanish Notifications, returning to the
owners such material as was contisca ted

utilize land occupied by the blockhouses
and similar defenses.

opportune, as many men are out of work

| The labor leaders should have selected

Affairs In Porto Rico.

New York, Sept. 20.-Lieutenant Frank
fletcher, superintendent of the Porto
Rican police, arrived on the United States
transport Fitzpatrick He was first
lieutenant in Company c, Forty-seventh
regiment, but was appointed to organize
! the insular police force by General Henry.
He found the native force cursed by poll
tics, SO he established a new body con-
sisting entirely of natives, with the ex-
ception of himself and two clerks. These
men are armed with Springfield rifles and
Colts revolvers. furnished by the gov
ernment. The island was overrun by
brlgands, but Lieutenant fletcher saws
he has cleared them out, killing four and
imprisoning 200 others. His men also
captured Ortez. who butchered Private
Burk of the Forty-seventh regiment
Lieutenant fletcher says that public
sentiment in the island is much opposed
to the government continuing some of
the heads of departments. Much fault,
he says, is found with the educational
system, the people saying they don't want
the American system. The federal courts,
he says. are also severely criticized The
lnsular commissioners recently recog-
nized this state of affairs in report to
the government. Chief fletcher says the
country is in bad condition. The hur-
ricane brought great suffering, and there
is no money to bring relief He is not
in favor of sending provisions there, say
ing that as long as the people receive
supplies they will not work He thinks
that money to loan the planters, to enable
them TO restOck. would give better re-
suits, II loaned on mortgages. Then the
natives could find employment. Lieuten-
ant fletcher says the natives will only
patronize Americans when they cannot
procure what they need from their coun-
trymen. An American dry goods store
recently started at Ponce, Is receiving
good support, however; but the goods are
sold at lower prices than in the native
stores,
