A HUSBAND on SALARY.
A Good Piece IndifferentIy Produced
Last Evening.


"a Husband on Salary pleased
fair sized audience at the opera
house last night, but the author
and fair portrayal Of one char
acter, assisted by the novely Of the
child actresses, did more than the
production Of most any other
piece by the same company could
have accomplished. "Ignatious
FoxgIove" is a splendid specimen
Of the dramatic attorney at law,
and is the only true actor in the
company. The singing. dancing
and cake walking by the little
Misses Labretta was of character
bound to be admired, especially
in the youthful performers.
Through the natural comedy of
the play the audience was pleased,
and ii is to be hoped that Vinita
theatre goers may hare an oppor-
tunity of witnessing the production
of this piece by more capable
company at some future time, for
il certainly contains the elements
of genuine "rip-roaring" farce

In the light Of the returns from
the towns Of the Indian Territory
where elections were held Tues
day Of this week, there is a strong
indication that the Indian Terri
tory is safely democratic. It is
reasonably certain that the towns
cOntain greater proportion Of re-
publicans in proportion to pOpula-
ton than the country districts.
The reasons for this are obvious.
In the first place every town is the
home OF greater or fewer num-
Der Of government officials who
are nothing if not loyal to the
party. and their numbers to which
may be added their influence go in
large measure to strengthening
the party machinery. But notwith-
standing all this the returns from
the towns Of the territory indicate
great democratic strength. This
being true II is therefore very safe
to surmise that republican con-
gress will not want to make a state
here for some time 10 come either
with or without Oklahoma, az in
either event it would be demo-
cratic.

When the Curtis bill was pending,
before its passage, the Cherokees
we're assured that their revenues
should Be collected without ex-
pense to themselves, and that the
money would be turned in TO their
credit. 1t is simply another case
'of bad faith on the part of the
United States government.

The premature demise of the
Vinita Republican emphasizes the
fact that every legitimate business
should stand upon merit, and not
upon the favor Of any political
party. The Chieftain tries to
merit the support Of the business
men, and the public generally OF
Vinita without reference to poll
tics. Politically it is democratic
OF the strictst sect. but the ad-
vancement of Yinita stands first
in its estimation and above all
party considerations.

NEW SOURCE OF GUTTAPERcHA
A German Says the Trees That Produce
 It Will Grow in the Philippines.

In monograph, just published in Germany it is shown that the Philip pines are among the few places on earth in which the trees from which guttapereha is procured will flourish. The value of this statement is not to be underrated for two reasons: One is that guttapercha is an indispensable material for the making of submarine cables and golf balls; the other is that the trees in Sumatra and Borneo, from which the chief supply has hi lerto been drawn are almost entirely ex- hausted. The cause of this exhaus- tion lies in the primitive and destruc- tive methods which were formerly em- ployed for gathering this valuable commodity The natives who never have any thought for the morrow have ruthlessly cut down whole forests of trees, so that they might scrape the guttapercha, which is nothing but the sap from inside the bark This whole sale destruction carried on for years has greatly diminished the annual crop. but the discovery that these trees SASW ctDu Cdu DS successfully CQlLI- vated in the Philippines offers hope that a new mine of wealth has been found for American enterprise as soon as the islands are pacified While the chief use of guttapereha is, of course. for the isolating covering of electric wires, 3 large quantity is used for the manufacture of golf balls, for which no other material seems so we'll adapt ed. Its hardness after having been submitted to the proper pressure, and its toughneSs make it the only golf ball material yet discovered. The amount of cable laid since 1856 is some Al, ,853 knots, representing cost for the cables alone of millions of pounds sterling, and as the prospects are that during the next fifty years many more cables wifi be required and iaid. the demand for guttapercha is almost un- limited. The wealth which gutta percha in the Philippines holds out to American enterprise is in proportion to this demand

A Favorite Rendezvous for Tramps.

Two years ago well was drilled on the Hays farm, near Independence, Mo, in search of oil The well was put down by some eastern company. Situated in secluded place along q little creek, very few people ever knew that the we'll had been drilled What was found in the well will never be known, for as soon as it was complet- ed, it was immediately filled up with rock and dirt. Lately, however, gas has begun to issue from the well, and now it comes forth in considerable quantities. It is not far from a little station on the Santa Fe railroad, and this winter the tramps have taken pos session of the place. They have piled rocks around the well and turned q part of an oil stove over it, on which they cook They have put up shanty and in the center of the room their stove heated it with natural gas. The advantage of natural gas has made the place a fayorite rendezvous for tramps for miles around, and they have quite colony there.

Memorials Of Crime That Are Found

 Some stones of Genoa tell of treaeh- are, we believe. peculiar to Genoa They belong to later and more degen- crate times than those of the noble Dorias and their victories Here is one inscription on a pillar in the Via del Campo: Tn infamous memory of Julius Caesar Vacchero, most aban- doned Of men, who for having conspired against the republic, with his head cut off, with his goods confiseated, with his sons banished, and with his house destroyed. expiated his well-earned punishment in the year of grace 1928" This Vacchero man of low birth but wealthy. aspired to high dignity in the town, and plotted to betray the place to Charles Emmanuel, of Savoy, and 1o massacre the Doge and leading mo- bles. He had his reward, as the above inscription plainly shows. Here is an- other stone of infamy: ITO John Paul Balbi, worst of men. vile assassin, q clipper of gold coin and an utterer of faise,a notorious thief and an infamous extortioner of tribute, declared a state traitor for conspiring against the re- public. his property eonfseated, his sons prescribed, he himself eondemned to the halter. this stone has been raised to his eternal shame in the year l650." This Baibi was engaged i'll d plot to betray the town to the French in the time of Mazarin. Although his plot was discovered. he contrived to ef
 feet his escape. and spared the laborS Of the hangman. The third stone tells of Raphael della Torre, despoiler by every artifice Of other mems goods, vile murderer. an associate of thieves. q pirate in his own waters, traitor and an enemy of the state, who in- cured for plotting the ruin Of the re- public punishments less great than his crimes, was sentenced to be twice hanged. to have his property eonfis- eated. his sons banished. and his houses destroyed. Through this last ing monument of tnfamy may his name be loathsome. Year of our Lord 1872"

The Upturned M ustache.

Apfapos Of the statement that several portraits of Charles l. by Van Dyck, showed the same fierce mustache which the kaiser is so fond of, German monthly now comes forward and ob= serves that the "upturned mustache' was really invented at the court Of Philip ". of Spain. Charles L, being Philips brother-in-law, subsequently, set the fashion in England, and thence it spread to Belgium, Germany, Swed- en and France. Louis XIII. was prac- tically the last monarch to wear this type of mustache, until it's revival by William IT.

Sly Joking in the YnIptt.

Before I went to college" said a minister of Utica, I did supply work an certain charge one summer. In the Methodist church we had service morning and evening. There was a Presbyterian church in the village, and the pastor from another village supplied it, preaching there once a Sunday in the afternoon. I went to hear him one afternoon He was a eollege-bred man and was supposed to fe away up. When he spied me in the congregation he came down and asked me to assist in the opening ex- ercises. When we were seated he asked me to read the first lesson, and at the same time announced that it. was certain chapter in the Book of Numbers. Just before I was to read I reached up to the desk and took down the Bible and opened to the place. 1 glanced down over the chap ter and saw it was a mass of unpro- nouneeable names knew that he was working joke on me He knew that l could not get away with those names. I said nothing. out when the time came I stood up and announced the chapter following and read 1t. When 1 sat down he gave me look and he got one back. whispered hoarsely. I guess not Those were The onIs words spoken on the subject" :"
