No Sma Ipcx at TahIeouah.

On Thursday and Friday of last
week the visitor to Tahlequah GER
tainly imagined he had ran up
against hard proposition. Ru-
'mors were flying about that small
pox had made its advent into the
male seminary, and soon cases
were developing here and there
about the city 5Ut the rumors when
traced down were proven ground
less. The case at the male semi
nary was pronounced smallpox by
our local physicians, and the vic
tim, Mr.. Alberty, was ordered, by
the Cherokee board of health, con
fined in the pest house at the city
cemetery. The surroundings
didnlt suit Mr.. Aiberty at all, and
when his guard was not looking
that gentleman turned his face to-
ward the setting aun and didn't
lose any time in hiking" it to his
home in Claremore, Thus, you
see, The only real oase reported
escspedifrom us, since which ex-
citement has abated, confidence is
restored and today the Arrow can
say for certainty that nota single
case exists either in town or at the
male or temale seminazies. For
the better protection of those at
tending the seminaries quarantine
is still enforced there, but the at
tending physicians do not .antici-
pate any outbreak Arrow.

REMARKABLY !
Workmanship shown in a Fan GENT

from Manila.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Miss
Augusta Alsmeyer, Of S426 Blair ave-
nue. this week received from Manila a
pretty sample Of Filipino handiwork in
the shape of a gorgeous fan. The send
er is a friend of Miss Alsmeyer, Mr..
Valentine Frank, of Company E. Sixth
! United States artillery, attached to the
Eighth army corps. The fan is a dain-
ty piece of work, and demonstrates
that the inhabitants of Uncle Sans
distant possessions are fully as well
Tersed in the art Of devising pretty and
valuable ornaments as are the Japan
ese, their work resembling much that
Of the inhabitants of the little empire
as regards the popularity of artistic
conception and oddness. The fan is
made to fold. The handle and separat-
ing parts are made of frail ivory,
daintily carved. Inserted into the end
of each is the feather of swan, at the
end of which is the gorgeous tip of a
peacock feather, altogether forming an
attractively beautiful blending of nat
ural colors. Perhaps the most beauti-
full piece of work in the construction of
the fan lies ia the swan feathers.
Woven into these slender feathers are
variegated threads, forming fantastic
figuring Of flowers, personsges and
leaves. In the center of the right side
Of the fan is woven among the feath-
ers a picture representing a man and
woman picking fruit. Into this one
picture alone is introduced an amaz-
ing woof of colors varied as those of
the rainbow, causing one to marvel
how such a variety of threads could be
woven so intrieately and with such
perfect precision upon the slender
swan feathers. About these figures are
clustered vari-colored flowers and |
leaves. the latter being of pure white
silk, while the former are made OF |
silks Of many hues. Upon the reverse
side Of the feathers are also innruer-
able woven flowers and leaves. The /
work is evidently that Of some past
master in the art

STORM DAMAGE IN TEXAS THE FEATURE

feet as yct--The Movement
Growing Larger.

Texas conditions appear 10 be cutting more
of a figure in the cotton world this year than
aver before In the spring came the HOODS
in the bis rlyers: then followed good weather
over the northern and central portions OF the
State. while In South Texas there was still
too much rain During all this period the
Atlantic. Mississippi valley and other gun
states had every conceivable character OF
weather and the market would bob up OF
down few points but when the weather IN
Texas does go avry cotton prices make about
as radical fluctuations as does the weather.
and that Is saying good deal for Texas
weather is something incomprehensiole,
The storm Of three weeks ago did a vast
amour, Of damage. some very conservative
cotton men placing the loss somewhere
sround 200. 900 bales and many think 1t Will
exceed this estimate by $1,000 bales.
Yesterday the market started out quite
buoysntiv but got into a balky mood and
prices dropped back a few points. soon
however the outside world was advised of
the heavy rains and foods in North Texas,
where crops were in better condition than In
any other part OF the State, and then prices
moved upward again.
The declaration OF the New England spin
ners that they would shut down their mills
because the raw material was too high has
not had much effect. The South is In posi-
ton TO market on q conservative scale this
season and II the spinners don't Ike th'
high Price Of cotton they have as much right
and reason to raise the price Of the manu-
facture1 material as they have to strike
down the cotton producer who holds the raw
cotton and hasn't sufficient 10 meet the de-
