DEATH OF JOHN rlADDox.
Injuries Received Saturday Resulted
In Death Sunday Morning.


John Maddox, who was run over
by traction engine west 'of town
Saturday, died Sunday morning
at 4:20 o'clock at his home in this
city. He was broughtin Saturday
afternooD, but the physicians could
do nothing for him, as the engine
wheels passed over his legs and
hips, crushing him terribly. The
account given in Saturdays paper
was incorrect in stating that the
wheels ran over his head. he
was buried FROM the Catholic
church at 1890 this morning..
Mr.. Maddox was conscious up to
the time of his death, and attached
no blame to anyone for the sad
accident that took his life. He
was consistent member of the
Catholic church, and died in the
triumph of the faith of his church,
declaring that he was prepared
and ready to 60.

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains Of disease is the worst
form ofslavery. Geo. d. Williams, OF
Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says. "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work." This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working medl-
cine is a godsend to week, slckly, run
down people. Every bottle guaranteed.

served, and the ease ard grace
with which the hostess presided

any strain and characterized heras

saying goodbye was late, and
even then the guests reluctantly
look their departure, pronouncing
it most delightful affair.

FOR A MASONIC HOME.
Vinita Lodge Takes Steps to
Secure It Here.

For number OF years there has
been movement on foot in the
Masonic fraternity in the Indian
Territory to establish a widows
and orphans home. Much inter-
est has been taken in the matter
by members of the order through
out the territory, and considerable
money has been raised from time
to time in various ways, Every
subordinate lodge in the jurisdic-
tion has already or will make sub
stantial donations to the fund.
No definite plans have as yet
been made, regarding the location
or buildings, but it is understood
that something like $4,000 viii
be available for carrying out the
project. The grand lodge, which
meets in annual session at Wago-
ner in August, will choose loca-
tion and adopt plans for the erec-
tion of the home, in keeping with
the amount raised for the purpose,
There are number OF territory
towns in the field for the home,
prominent among which are Ard
more, Muskogee and South McAles-
ter and it is the desire of all local
Masons that Vinita make strong
fight for it.
At the regular meeting Of Vinita
Lodge, No 5, last Saturday night,
preliminary steps were taken to-
ward pressing Vinita's claim. A
committee OF fiye-W. L. Chap
man, DR.. B. f. Fortner, A. L.
Churchill, J. o. Hall and T. A.
Chandler-was appointed to take
charge Of the work and see what
could be done in the way Of
building site and a substantial
bonus. 1t has been suggested
that as Willie Halsell college has
100 acres of land, many times
what that institution will be able
to hold, FIVE or ten acre tract
might be secured from the board
OF trustees at nominal price and,
with the sanction of the Cherokee
council, be given the Masonic
grand lodge as a building site.
This, with a moderate cash bonus,
might reasonably be expected TO
secure the home for Vinita.
That three or four thousand dol
lars used in this manner would
prove a profitable investment for
the people of this city is beyond
question. The possibilities Of such
a home in years TO come, backed
by the oldest and strongest Of fra
ternal organizations, are many
and perhaps beyond the compre-
hension ofthose who have not had
direct knowledge OF mediate con-
tact with like institutions.
