CHICKASAW WIVES AT $1,000,

The president has returned with
his approval the Chickasaw law fix
ing the marriage license fee al
5000 TO non.citizens who wish tC

wives.
The law provides that young
white men who desire TO marry
Chickasaw girls must fret prove
that they are Of good moral char.
acter. and must pay marriage H.
cense fee to the Chickasaw natioR
in the sum of $1,000.
This will keep many of them
from marrying, but those who pre-
fer half loaf to no loaf at all will
select bride, take her to Texas,
aud marry her under the Texas
laws. They will then be privileged
TO select an allotment of approx.
mately 100 acres OF good land, half
the amount he might have selected
had he been married under the
Chickasaw law.
Then, IL he takrs up an allotment
for himself. he must put up bonus
of 81 an acre, which the new Chicka
saw law means.-Tulsa, |. T., Demo.

A good many old comrades have
located in Baxter Springs during
the past year and II is growing
more aud more to be an old sol.
dier town. The reunion has
brought good many, but outside
of the reunion Baxter possesses
many sources of attractions for the
old comrades. II is cheap place
for a poor man to live. Homes
can be obtained very cheaply and
residence lots are for sale TO old
soldiers as low as $40 to SIS. Many
old comrades make good living
in Baxter out of the poultry busi-
ness. and the mining towns near by
furnish a good market for vegeta-
bles, fruit and produce of all kinds.
The water here is free from miner
al or alkali and il is the healthiest
town in the state. Baxter Springs
is surely a favorite town for old
comrades.

BAXTER cHAUrAUQUA.

The Chautauqua circle met at the
home of Mrs. Brewster Saturday
afternoon at 8 o'clock.
The roll call was responded to by
current events which gave rise to
some very interesting discussion
The fret was the announcement oi
the recent battle in South Africa
which appears TO hold the same re.
lation to the cause of the Beers as
the battle of Trenton did to the
American cause in the time of the
revolution.
The influence of visit to South
Africa by Webster Davis and the
probable influence his lectures will
have in America was discussed.
Then followed the acknowledge.
ment of the leaders "change of
heart" he has always expressed his
sympathy for the British, but ii
was now for the Beers.
The last response was the stu
pendous fall Of Admiral Dewey
when he made public his aspira-
tions for the White House to graft.
fy an ambitious wife; also some
few politicians who are anxious to
side-track Bryan.
Mrs. Smith wisely suggested
that the fall might not have been so
great after all. but that the Ameri-
can people had overestimated Dew
ey. and that his victory at Manila
was owing to the superiority of his
shids over the Spanish vessels and
simply an accident of war.
Mrs. Boyer read beautiful poem
from Loveil's Works.
Mrs. Brewster read from the
Journal "A Day with the New Edu.
cation"
Mrs. Opperman gave fine talk
on the life and works of Henry Tim
rod. Southern poet.
The following members were
present: Mesdames Smith, Opper-
man, Boyer. Brewster, Misses Dun
