in favor of Kansas City, Mo-, as the
place for holding the next convention.

City will be successful in the COMPETE

TO BE SOLD.
Mary COrndrOpper Will Go
to the Highest Bidder.

A custom which has been in
vogue among the Osages from
time immemorial will soon be OBJ
served at the residence OF ex-Chiel
Frank Cerndropper, west OF here,
when his only daughter, Mary,
will be sold in marriage TO the
highest bidder, who will make
payment for his bride in ponies.
Mary is twenty-three years old
and pretty. She has twice before
been marned, her first husband
having been Tall Chief and her
second John Logan, a prominant
member of the Usage council. She
was sold for 400 ponies the first
time and 800 the second time.
Both marriages proved unhappy
and this is why the girl is to be
put on the block again.
In accordance with an lronclad
rule observed by the Ossge aristoc-
racy that only fullblOods can inter
marry, only fullbloods will be al
lowed to bid. The parents of the
competing young men will do the
bidding and the bride attired in
silk of the gaudiest hues, will an
nounce the result by riding into
the arms of the successful contest
ant. The ceremony will be COM
pleted by the bride being taken

In about two months, ii is said
the Dawes commission will 60 to
work making a final roll of citizens
of the Cherokee nation; as soon as
that matter is disposed OF a land
office will no doubt be opened and
the work of allotment proceed
either under the Curtis law, or the
agreement now pending in con
gress. If the agreement should be
ratified by congress, it will then be
submitted to a popular vote of the
Cherokee voters, and if carried
will take the place of the Curtis
law. The same amount land, 100
acres, will be allotted both under
the treaty, though the former
would only give the right to occu-
py the surface. 1t is confidently
asserted that the treaty will be
ratified by congress, though per-
hsps with some important amend
ments. The prospects now are
that the close of this year will see
the work in the Cherokee nation
far advanced, and perhaps the end
in sight.

Vinita is again confronted with
a dangerous and expensive con-
dition. The responsibility of deal
ing with the smallpox in the coun-
try southeast of US must be met
herOically and promptly. 1t should
be managed with as little expense
consistent with the gravity of the
situation as possible. We believe
the primary object should be to
stamp out the disease wherever
found and to effectually prevent
its spreading. The first step
should be to rigidly quarantine
aud isolate every individual who
has bsen exposed, and to enforce
general vaccination of the people
throughout the country. 1t can be
effectually kept out of Vlnita if
prompt measures are adopted, and
every citizen of the town and ad-
jacent country should act in accord
with the authorities in dealing |

Five cases of Smallpox have de-
veloped among the colored people
in the southwestern portion of the
city. That part of the town has
been quarantined and every pre-
caution is being taken to prevent

and nothing will be left undone by

The change from 1900 to 1900
which takes place today in the
dates of the world suggests many
a fruitful vein of thought. 1900
has marked the best century the
world ever saw. We can ali agree
upon this proposition for we have
ali belonged to it. 1t has given US
steam boats, railroad trains, the
electric telegraph and telephone,
electric lights, dynamite to blow
up the mountains and newspapers

gy, and the Maxim and the Mau-
ser rife TO kill each other with.
1t has given us the slick politician

THE CHEROKEE SPEAKER.
Firstand Probably Last White
Man to Hold the Office.

Amonst the most conspicuous
personalities in the Cherokee ma
tional council this year is the
young, smooth faced, light COM
plexioned, purely Caucasian
speaker of the lower house. He
is the first, and, as has been pertly
remarked. very likely the last
white man to occupy such a posi-
ton in the affairs of the Cherokee
Indians. This enviable personsge
is unquestionably one of the COM
ing men of this country.
James S. Davenport was born
and sp mt his earlier years on
farm in middle Alabama; removed
10 Arkansas on attaining his ma
jority, whereupon he took up the
profession of the law. But short
ly after admission to the bar he
came to the Indian Territory and
united his citizenship with the
Cherokees by taking in marriage
an exceptionally charming and ac-
complished daughter of one of the
purest and proudest strains of
Cherokee blood-the celebrated
Ross family, in whose keeping the
chieftaincy and well being of the
Cherokee nation was for forty
years intrusted. After locating al
Vinita about five years ago, be sci
out upon what was then consider
ed a most difficult road to success
the practice of his profession.
Until the act OF congress approved
June 2S, 1898. the CherOkees con
Quoted their own courts and made
their own laws; and it is a we'll
known fact that no white non-citi-
zen lawyer dared enter their courts
with a case. And when Mr.. Daven-
port became a citizen by adoption
be Immediately acquired a lucia-
tive practice and scored legal tri-
umph after triumph in the 'rough
and tumble species of legal ethics"
then prevailing in the tribal courts.
Here it was that his truest and
best character frequently disclosed
itself, for soon was answering
fidelity to his clients and sterling
integrity 10 his citizenship estab-
lIshed that Lincoln sobriquet,
"Honest jim" was conferred upon
him by the public without no.
tice." 1t was in these courts, also,
that a mental triumph not infre-
quently required physical "back
up" in counsel argument; and here
it was that Davenport's 200 pound
avoirdupois and skillful use Of his
sluggers oftentimes chad weight
with the authorities. A more
mild. gentle, pleasing and yet
fearless character than he it has
not been the lot of one man to
meet; and these enviable qualifi-
cations soon put him on one or the
other side of the more important
cases in the Cherokee courts.
Naturally enough, he was forced |
into politics. And in the morning
of his career a most remarkable |
star dawns upon him. The aver
age full and even half-blood In
dams sntipathy to the white man
is wholly blotted out in Mr.. Daven- i
ports case, as is without a doubt
exemplified by his call to fill the
speakers chair of the lower house,
of which he is a regularly elected
member, when it is remembered |
that nearly half of that body can
not speak an English word and
three fourth average the half
breed.-Globe- Democat.

with the contagion. The unavoid-
able expense will necessarily be a
heavy blow upon the city but
there is no way OF dodging the is
sue, and the minimum of expendi-
ture in every detail should be in
sisted upon.
