PARTIAL TO RAILROADS.

Cherokees are especially well OF
as to representation in Washing
ton, inasmuch as they have Sc
cured the services of their able
friend Judge VIM. NJ. Springer.
Spriager's chief advantage lies in
the fact that be understands
thoroughly the conditions that
prevail in the Cherokee ration.
He spent nearly five years here as
Judge of the Northern district, and
has had much to do with the
Cherokees, as their country COM
poses about two thirds of the en-
tire district. Springer gave much
of his time and attention to a care
full study of the citizenship ques-
ton. as several hundred cases
were appealed from the decision
of the Dawes commission to his
court and the Cherokees were gen.
orally sustained in all the rulings
and decisions of the court.
Springer is active, and withsl well
acquainted with methods of get
ting things done in Washington,
and will no doubt see to il that his
clients get all that there is coming
to them generally speaking.
But there is one particular item
in the great diversity of Cherokee
interest in which Judge Springer
cannot reasonably be expected to
stand by the Cherokees notwith-
standing he is their attorney.
Where the rights or contentious Of
the railroads appear, he will no
doubt be with the railroads as
against his clients. This state
ment is not unfair to the judge in
asmuch as his opinions are mat
ters of record. When Vinita pre-
sents q petition accompanied by
plat of the town asking for
the privilege OF Incorporating un-
der the Arkansas laws, the judge
took his pen and amended the
petition so as TO give the railroad
sn 80 foot street one mile in length.
Whenever the interests of the In
dians have been opposed to those
of the railroads the Indians have
got the worst of it. AS to the
rights of the roads through the
Indian country, they of course
should De as well protected as
any other interests, but the roads
are claiming too much, and if they
are to be favored there is great
danger to the Cherokees. Both
roads are claiming every alternate
section ten miles on each side of
their line and if such q claim be
countenanced by congress it would
mean nothing less than a calamity
to the Cherokees. To sum up in
q nutshell what we think of
Springer as an attorney, it may be
said that be is eminently filled to
represent the Cherokees and is
calculated to do them mere good
than any other attorney available,
but as to his bias in favor of
the railroads there can be no
doubt.

The Cherokee council at its re-
cent session passed a bill calling
for the investigation of the aud
itOr's Office and accounts, as there
appeared to be gross irregularities.
Previous to that date, as disburs-
ing officer Indian Agent Shoenfelt
advertised that the payment of a
certain amount of Cherokee war
rants would be made, beginning
January l or as soon thereafter as
possible. But when the bill was
passed as above stated it dawned
that there might be a repetition of
the Creek warrant transaction, and
in view of this fact the agent has
wisely concluded to defer the pay
meDt OF warrants on the general
fund. He will pay warrants on
the school, insane and orphan
funds but none else. Due notice
of the time of payment of these
warrants will be given.-Musko-

Vinita a few days ago, praying the
citizens there TO make strong ef-

of Alton, but Vinita refused to
parlicipstein such unprincipled
tricks.-Afton Climax.
1t looks cruel to break the spell,
but Alton ought TO be informed
right now that she don't stand as
much show of getting that railroad
as one legged man in a kicking
match. 1t has been regarded as a
sort OF joke that the road would
cross the Frisco at Alton, but if
the Climax man takes it seriously
he will have to be ''shown." The
road will come to Vinita, and
thence to Coffeyville and it will be
a great road too one of these days.

FALSE ALARM.
Buchtel College Was Believed to be
Burning. =,

At o'clock Wednesday afternoon
the fire department was called to the
new BuchteI College Preparatory
building on Sumner ST. Fortunately
the services of the department were
not needed.
The contractors are rutting down
the concrete flooring and, that 1t might
dry quickly, they had built fires upon
each of the three floors. A passer-
by noticed the reflections from the
windows and believing the building
to be burning, turned in the alarm
from box SO. Departments / and 2

Every Sufferer From Catarrh Knows That

every SuIlSrST fTOUl CdtdIIN huUWS ludt
Salves, Lotions, Washes, Sprays and
DOucheS do not Cure.
Powders, lotions, salves, sprays and
inhalers cannot really cure catarrh,
because this disease is q blood disease,
and local applications, If they accom-
plsh anything at all, simply give tran
silent relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the blood
and the mucous membrane of the nose,
throat and trachea tries to relieve, the
system by secreting large quantities
of mucus, the discharge sometimes
closing up the nostrils, dropping into
the throat, causing deafness by clos
Ing the Eustachian tubes, and after
time causing catarrh or serious
throat and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal remedy which will
cleanse the blood from catarrhal pois-
on and remove the fever and conges-
ton from the mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics scien-
tifically known as Eucalyptol, Guaia-
col, Sanguinaria and Hydrastin, ana
while each of these have been success
fully used separately, yet it has been
difficult to get them all combined dn
one palatable, convenient and efficient
form.
The manufacturers of the new ca
tarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
have succeeded admirably in accom-
plishing this result. They are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, to be dis
solved in the mouth, thus reaching
every part of the mucous membrane of
the throat and finally the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no
cocaine, opiate or any injurious drug
whatever and are equally beneficial
for little children and adults.
Mr.. G. II. Rembrandt of Rochester,
n. ", says: Il know of few people
who have suffered as much as l from
catarrh Of the head, throat and stom-
ach. / used sprays, inhalers, and
powders for months at a time with
only slight relief and had no hope of
cure. / had not the means to make
a change Of climate, which seemed
my only chance Of cure.
Last spring | read an account of
some remarkable cures made by.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and prompt
ly bought so cent box from my
druggist and obtained such positive
benefit from that one package that
continued to use them daily until
now consider myself entirely free from
the disgusting annoyance of catarrh,
my head is clear, my digestion all |
could ask and my hearing which had
begun to fail as result of the catarrh,
has greatly improved until | feel l can

household necessity in my family.

LIVINGSTON,
He Of Pink Shirt Waist
Fame,
Figured In Divorce Case at Cleveland
Deserted His Wife.


Last summer, during the shirt waist
craze, a Cleveland man created some.
thing of stir at the Hotel Buchtel
by appearing in one of the garments
He insisted on entering the dining
room without his coat and became sc
insistent that he was finally invited
to vacate the premises.
This same man now figures in di
vorce case which was heard in Cleve
land, Wednesday. The Plain Dealer
contains the following in reference tc
the action:
Judge Dellenbaugh granted Edna A
Livingston a divorce from William
e. Livingston, Wednesday. They
were married in Cleveland five years
ago. According to his wife, Livingston
and she travelled about the West short
ly after their marriage. He mended
clocks. She was twenty and he TWEEN,
ty-five years old when they married
Mrs. Livingston said her husband de-
serted her about a year ago and went
to Philadelphia, taking their three.
and-one-half-year child with him.
When the judge asked her what
disposition she wished made of the
child Mrs. Livingston replied she was
content 10 allow the little one to re-
main with her husband. She did not
want it, she said, and neither did her
parents, with whom she was now liv-
ing in warrensville, wish to care for
1t.
Judge Dellenbaugh scored her for
what he termed her apparent lack of
feeling for the child.
Mrs. Livingston testified that she
found letters from other women in his
pockets and that he was elected from
an Akron hotel last summer for wear
ing pink shirt waist.

He had retained Hon. John g. Welty
as counsel and Wednesday morning
Mr.. Welty went before the Board Of
Commissioners. and made a statement
of the case and urged the granting
of the franchise. He urged the bene-
fits that would accrue to Canton and
the land owners adjacent to the road.
After hearing the statement the
Commissioners agreed to reopen the
matter which had been so summarily
disposed of Tuesday, and agreed to
take the matter up on Monday Of next
week.
Meantime, Prosecuting Attorney r.
III. Day, is to write to the Ohio Trust
company, of Chicago, Ills, and find
out to just what extent they have
agreed to back the road financially.
Upon the report of the Prosecutor of
course much depends, though the
Commissioners are non-committal as
to their intentions.
Mr.. Childs was seen by a News
Democrat reporter just before leaving
for Akron Wednesday.

around here wasting time and money"
said Mr.. Childs, ''if we did not mean

1t is a pleasure to announce the CON-
ing of Americas foremost--and most
popular tragedian, Mr.. John Griffith,
at the Grand opera house, Nov. II, on
Saturday next. Few actors have the
fine equipment with which nature and
experience have endowed Mr. Griffith.
Heroic in mould and splendid in pres
ence, he nevertheless possesses sym
etrical and we'll knit figure which
lends itself readily to the representa-
tion of robust as well as poetic charac-
ters. His voice is powerful and musi-
sical and is under such control that it
adapts itself readily to every require
ment of his art. Above all, he has
an impressionable temperament which
always rings true to whatever emo
tions OF humors he may wish to assim-
ulate. Mr.. Griffith will present this
time his powerful and mastery crea-
thon of "Spartacus," which is DR..
Bairds heroic tragedy of that name,
which his manager, Mr.. AL Caldwell,
has revived on such a splendid scale.
The play will be given here with all
the remarkable scenic details which
have characterized it as one of the
most expensive and elaborat produc-
tions Of the present dramatic era. Mr..
Griffith's company is one of the
strongest now before theSpublic.
