1T WAS A ROMANCE.
Edward Arnold Did Not Participate
in a Family Reunion.

The Chieftain published a
Thanksgiving story of three COL
umns or more in length in last
Wednesdays issue which has at
tracted more attention and COM
ment than the author believes its
merits warrant.
However, the papers had been
on the street but short time, when
the first of dozen telephone CON-,
munications reached the Office ask
ing eff Edward Arnold was still IN
town." sis it true storyY"
etc., etc.
A dapper young clerk in one OF
the stores assured a coterie OF his
lady friends that he would vouch
for the story as he met and talked
with Mr.. Arnold. A merchant in
formed the writer that he remem-
bered distinctly the circumstances
Of the killing Of the officer nine
teen years ago and of Arnold's ar
rest and escape at the time.
So many have been the inquir-
les, some Of them from the coun-
try and neighboring towns, thus
proving the wide circulation otThe
Chieftain, that we are constrained
to announce that the story was a
pure fiction; a romance written
hastily for the holiday occasion
and was not indicted with the In
tention of conveying the impress
sion that the happy reunion on
the banks of the Verdigris was an
actual occurrence.

UNION SERVICES.
Midst Song, Prayer and Sermon a
Grateful People Render Thanks.


Hozannas Of Thanksgiving to
the Lord for His multiple of bless
ings we have enjoyed were sung at
the Union services at the Baptist
church yesterday; words of praise
were spoken in grateful thankful
ness and continuance OF His
watchful care was prayed for.
The church was taxed to its ut
most capacity and program more
be6tting the day and occasion
could scarcely have been con-
ceived. The services opened by
an organ voluntary by Miss Louise
Graper, who presided at the In
strument throughout. The I'M
pressive hymns Holy, Holy,
Holy" and Coronation, were
sung by the audience who again, at
the close, joined with the choir in
singing "Old Hundred" and the
national hymn America" The
two last, especially, were sung with
such fullness and such an outburst
Of feeling that it was evident that
nearly every person helped to
swell the volume of song.
The Invocation was pronounced
by Rev. W. 7. King and the Scrip
ture Lesson, Psalm 103, was read
by Rev. Theo. r. Brewer. Rev.
F. R. Jones delivered touching
prayer replete with supplication to
God.
The selected choir composed ol
Mrs. Clapper and Miss Myrtle
Crockett, sopranos; Mrs. Swain
alto; A. M. Brock, basso; r. l.
Blakeney and w. S. Crockett, ten
ors, sang the beautiful anthem
"Praise Ye the Lord" with such
a feeling and expression as hal
never before been employed in iti
rendition IN Vinita.
Rev. P. B. Hicks read the pro
clamations of President Mckinley
and Chief T. M. Burlington, aftel
which Rev. G. L. Browning deliv
cred an eloquent sermon hlle'
with touching phrases of thanks
fulness and convincing to the at
tentive listeners that the creates
of sins is ingratitude to God. Th'
reverend gentleman admonishe'
his hearers to every day Civ
thanks unto the Lord, and drew
beautiful word pictures to NOR
iorcibly illustrate the truths b
uttered. A perusal of the entir
sermon would be of value to any
one who is seeking their SOUL
salvation but a lack Of space pre-
vents its publication in this issue
Following the sermon Mrs. ]. I
Clapper in her well known sweet
ness Of voice sang Saved by
Child" a beautiful story telling

performers, or managers OF good
shows, need fear the criticisms Of
this paper. We expect to, and
will, for the protection of our read
ers, tell the truth regarding the
merits of a performance, without
bias. We will further tell the
public whether, in our opinion, the
shows are worth the price of ad-
mission. The people of Vinita are
discriminating and have the good
taste to know the good from the

buncoed if any such performance

NEW YORK INHERITANCE TAX

From the St. Louis Post-Dspatch.
 The death tax in New York Is bringing In a snug income.
 From the city alone more than s40o0.0oO will be received, in 1900, $s 100000 having all ready been collected.
 During the past twelve months inheri- tanee taxes have been paid on several large estates. The estate of Cornelius Van derbilt, $50 O0O, GOO, has yielded $5OO,OO0 with more in litigation. Henry Smith, the eccen- tric London millionaire, left property in New York valued at $40, 731. GOO. The States share is g, ,S6O,5S2 C. P. Huntlngton's es- tate, valued a $45,O0O,O00, pays $60O,OOO Other large properties have yielded corresponding revenue to the State.
 Personal property alone is subject to this tax. This explains apparent inconsistencies.
 That the inheritance tax is profitable to the State is very clear Its merit Is that 1t cannot be evaded since estates pass under the scrutiny of the courts before they are settled.

BRYAN IN NEW YORK

From the Memphis Avalanche.
 II numbers and enthusiasm mean any thing, and they surely do, the ma gnificent demonstration in Madison Square Garden that was made when MT. Bryan arrived there on Monday night must be eminently encouraging to the Democrats of the coun- try It augurs well. Croker was chiefly responsible for the large assemblage, and Croker is admittedly the greatest political factor fin New York. If he can assemble so many thousands to hear Bryan, he can rally great many thousands on election day to vote for Bryan.
 The registration is larger than ever be- vote is boiled the Republicans cannot reach the Empire City ~..h a sufficient number of votes to overcome the city ma jorty for the Democrats. They cannot scrape up enough votes because the votes are not there.
 Tammany organization is ssfDe-S and enthusiastic. It must be because the rank and file are for Bryan, and the leaders must lead the rank and t!lA
 When ex-Governor Hogg of Texas spoke in Tammany Hall the applause that greet ed him at the mention of Bryans name opened the eyes of the Tammany leaders to the fact that they had made a mistake in attempting to get up Van Wyck boom. Crocker is shrewd He is leader be- cause he leads people in the way in which they want to go. If he runs counter to popular wish he digs his own grave and ends his leadership. Hence we may be sure that Croker is for Bryan because he must be whether he wants to be or not
 The ovation given Bryan was something unprecedented Madison Square Garden has witnessed many large and enthusiastic gatherings, but none like this.
 Democrats all over the country will take heart and work all the harder, and states that were doubtful will feel the impact of the New York wave of enthusiasm and get in line,

Privilege vs The People.

It Is impossible to overrate the value of 'Mr. Bryans services in checking and hold ing back the plutocratic influences that pro- pose to conduct this government in their own interests He stands like solid wall against their advances. He puts the man above the dollar, and he fearlessly exposes and attack the plans of the oligarchs He does this in terms that all can understand, even the simplest, and he does 1t in all sin certy and straight reasoning, without ary touch of demagogism whatever History only can give Mir. Bryan due credit for his splendid services to the people, for the prejudices and selishness of the times do not permit men to see their environments in their true and hideous light
 The truth is, Mir Bryan is a remarkable man. He has been raised up, We may firmly believe, for this crisis, for this battle Against concentrated and privileged wealth a-tliis wealth that is based on robber tariff and all the other special privileges it can gather in He has been given clear brsin q strong constitution and an honest heart for this momentous battle against the people. and against the Republic, for a large standing army and standardization of power at Washington means change ir the na-
