CHRISTMAS 35 YEARS AGO
Lem Paris Relates an Incl
dent of War Times.

Catale. |. T., Dec %. 1899.
This Christmas 80 years ago, in
1864, the writer was with a supply
train, water bound on the north
side bank of the Neosho river, at
the old military crossing, some Is
miles south Of Baxter Springs.
Christmas morning myself with
three other comrades mounted our
horses and started up the river to
hunt turkeys. When night came
on we were in the neighborhood
Of where Miami is, in a grove of
shelbark hickory nut trees. We
had, hogs, chickens and hickory
nuts, and were thinking about
camping. At the crack of a gun
the biggest hog | ever saw came
out of the brush right after us, and
had us jumping around lively.
We fred several shots with our
revolyers before he gave up. We
then camped for the night. Next
morning Comrade Stark killed the
biggest turkey / ever saw. Our
hog was mule-footed we took his
feet back to camp They were
show, and the officers sent them
back east. When we got to camp
the train was crossing the river,
the infantry wading the cold ice
waiter breast deep. So we went
on our way to FITS. Gibson and
Smith.
have had lots ofups and downs
on that military road.

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-Chief
Frank Corndropper, 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 married, 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 Grst
time and 300 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 ironclad
rule observed by the Usage 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
into the house and stripped OF her
clothing, which will be torn in
two and divided equally between
her parents and her husbands par
ents. A feast, consisting of many
beeves, will follow and the festiyi-
ties will be concluded with a three
days dance. which will be partici-
pated in by about 300 guests.
Miss Corndropper has 1900 acres
Of land which will be given to her
husband. They will live at her
fathers use.-Bartlesville Mag

PRECAU TIONARY ACTION.
Smallpox Stu alton = Board
Of Health Investigation.

A short time ago young man
from the Southwest City neighbor-
hood stopped at the home Of JEFF
Dick, east Of Grand river, and
while there was taken sick with
smallpox. Through lack of
knowledge as to the nature Of the
disease, no steps were taken 10
isolate the patient. Mr. Dick and
his wife soon contracted the dis
ease anddt spread rapidly through
the imme diate neighborhood A
man named Smith was among
those afflicted aud had light case
of varaloid. Immediately alter
recovery. and before any measure
against infection had been taken,
he moved his family Vinita and
has lived in the third house south
OF Balenti store for several
days.
Information as to the state -ot
affairs on Grand river, aud also
regarding the Smith family soon
reached the board Of health and
that body took immediate action
TO prevent the possible breaking
out of the disease in town. Drs.
Fortner and CliDkscales went to
the Dick neighborhood yesterday
to investigate matters and found
eight or ten cases of smallpox,
some of which were Of the worst
form.
On their return to town they
found Inspector Churchill, who
had been sent up from Muskogee
by Agent Shoenfelt. waiting for
them. Mr.. Churchill expressed a
belief that any action the board
might take in the matter locking
to the safety and health OF the
town would be approved by the
agent. He approved a proposition
to Immediately move the suspects
and their families back to the af-
fected districts, making proper
provision for their maintainence
for any reasonable length of time;
he also stated that definite meas
ures would probably be taken at
once by the agent to isolate those
afflicted with the disease and those
who had been exposed.
Marshal Ledbetter last night
notified the Smith family of the
proposed movement, also family
by the name of Nichols, living
in The same house and directed
them to be prepared to move tDis
morning. Mayor Sheehan, at the
expense Of the city, supplied them
with about s25 worth of rations,
and under the supervision of the
mayor and marshal the two fam
lilies were loaded into wagons,
along With their household goods,
and headed toward Grand river
with the strict injunction not to
stop until domiciled in the vacant
school house secured by Drs.
Fortner and Clinkscales for their
reception.

present, at least. any danger the

THE COMMERCIAL SpIRIT-SOME-
WHAT ABOUT THE pARrIT HAS
TAKEN IN THE pRO6nESS OF
THE RACE, AND ITS Si6NiFI-
CANOE TO-DAY.

II is the fashion among some TO
condemn the spirit of the times as
being that of "commercialism-" In the
pubIished utterances of the leaders OF
the defeated party in the late elections.
this voice of condemnation was ire
auently heard. In most cases. no DOUBT.
the cry was but one of political ingenu-
ity. designed to create a distrust in the
minds OF voters which in some way
might initiate against the dominant
party. But there is also no doubt that
in some quarters the feeling is sincere.
that we are drifting away from the
motives and sentiments that have in
the past inspired all the great deeds
that have become part of our glorious
history as a race and as a nation. and
have adopted a motive that tends TO
Immoral government. loss OF individ-
nal liberty. and the creation of special
~ privileged classes.
In the case of the campaign cries.
they are best ignored now that the con-
test is settled. But since it is granted
that there are some who sincerely fear
the influence OF "commercialism in
our government and policies. it is well
to discuss briefly the facts that attend
the alleged new growth OF this spirit
Whenever '.commercialism' is men
toned. especially by Christian minis
tiers or others who would pose as guar
dams of the morals of persons or of
nations. il is in a tone that suggests
a sneer and a rebuke. The idea is
sought to be carried that self interest
as a motive is inherently wrong. and
that the man or the nation that takes
care of it's pocket book is because of
that fact less worthy of respect than
is the improvident one. That this no
ton is erroneous IL is easy to show
by historic reference. which estab-
fishes also the fact that out of the
commercial spirit. or. as il is mere fit
iy termed. self interest. has come most
of the worlds progress.
The minds of some will revolt at
this bold statement. The limitations OF
a brief article forbid such elaboration
of definitions as would make the mean
ing clearer. and forbids also more than
passing reference to the philosophical
aspects of the question. Yet it cannot

The accounts of the Pitt murder trial
published in The Herald last week were
SO far superior to those given by any
other Ell Paso paper as to excite gen.
eral comment. Not only were The Her

were absolutely colorless and non-com-

lieve that the party can carry the city
if the candidates are all first class men

these independent democrats are in
favor of putting up an Independent or

the better element of all parties. The
other element see in reform within the
party itself the best direction in which
to work for improvement. These last
