Betrayed BY a Kiss.

Just as the Angelus bell tolled out
its sweet matin chimes yesterday
morning and while the lips of the
faithful were beginning the "Ange.
lus Domini" and repeating their
three Ave Marias, in honor of the
incarnation, George Green stepped
up to a woman as she light ed from
the early morning train ansl kissed
her. The next instant, ar d while
that Angelus bell tolled out its
morning signal, ths heavy hand of
Marshal Herring was lat, on the
shoulder of George Green, and the
words "you are my p risoner'i
sounded as jarring core on the
''incense breathing morn.
George Green was wa nted at

LET HIS BAT SLIP.
Young Man Badly InItred at weIeh
Sunday.

The Vinita second team went to
Welch Sunday and played eight
innings Of base ball with the team
at that place, when the game was
brought TO close by an accident
that may prove fatal TO one of the
Welch players. Ben Moore, a
left handed batter on the Welch
team was up and had two strikes.
He made a strong swing at the
third ball, with such force that on
missing it his bat slipped from
his grasp and struck Bert Parker
son, another member of that team.
The bat seemingly turned over
once and the small end Of it struck
tbs man squarely just below the
eye, making a terrible hole, shat
tering the cheek bone, displacing
the nose and eye, and knocking
out several teeth.
The Vinita boys remained for
an hour after the accident and the
victim showed no signs of recov-
ering consciousness, the doctors in
attendance saying his chances for
recovery were very small. At the
close of the eighth inning the
Vinita boys were in the lead with
a score of Z TO 6.

CUTTING WHEAT.
The Superiority Of Northern Wheat
over Native Varieties.

The superiority Of northern
grown seed wheat over the native
varieties has fully been demon
straied by Mr.. F. A. Nelson this
year. his firm has about $50
acres of wheat on what is known
as the Rally farm all from north
ern seed. Thursday morning he
started two machines cutting the
crop, which is fully matured.
This is a gain of about ten days
on the everage crop and On days

crop. Rust can completely ruin

CURTIS 'WORMWOOD,p
Likened Unto "Murcury" of
Mythology.


Editor ChIefiain: - The agree
menl had little bit of the humar
in it when it first issued from tn,
hands of the two commissions
but Charley Curtis, like the lHtl,
Murcury Of heather mythology
born to mischief, comes along with
his usual little spoonful of worm
wood and in most dastardly way,
dashes it straight into the treaty
soup. The Cberokees will never
drink of it.
He is deeply interested in the
valuables that may chance to lie
buried up in the bowels of the
Cherokee estate.
In one OF his proposed amend
ments to the Cherokee agreement,
he Gays; The secretary of the
interior is hereby authorized and
directed, from time to time, to
provide rules and regulations for
the leasing Of oil, coal, gas, asphalt
aud other minerals on the unallot.
ted and unsettled portions of the
lands within the Cherokee country
and all such leases shall be made
5y the secretary OF the interior "
This is, in substance, the same
provision that we find in the
Curtis law; Mr.. Curtis here brings
il forward and askes the Chero-
KEGS to accept it as a portion OF
their agreement; that is To say,
drink the "pisen" consenlingly,
like the good natured old Socrates
and then go of into a murmurless
sleep, blessing the hand that
brought the villianous bowl. But
these Indians are not philosophers;
Charley will never get his little
dose down them without a struggle.
Look at the inwardness of this
amendment for a moment. Notice
that it authorizes the secretary Of
the interior to lease ali "unallot.
ted" lands in the Cherokee
country. AT the present moment,
there are no lands in the Cherokee
nation that are allotted; all are
"unallotted lands" Now sup.
pose We should today ratify the
agreement together with this
amendment; is it rot obvious that
the secretary Of the interior would
he authorized to lease every foot
OF land in the whole Cherokee
country? See, too, what an easy
job it would be: on the secretary's
table at the present moment are
lying great bundles of paper
leases, resembling somewhat in
form ordinary Cherokee bales
of hay, all done up in due shape
and only awaiting the secretary's
approval. These leases cover all
the desirable portions of the Cher
okee domain. Instantly upon our
adoption Of the agreement, un-
doubtedly these eager lessess
would set upon the secretary for
his approval of these waiting
leases; and, according to our ag-
greement, he would be bound to
give it, and that before a single
allotment could be awarded.
Whether this trick upon the
Cherokees originated with Mr..
Curtis own genius, or whether 1t
was put into his head by the
Standard Oil Co, or some equally
yoracious syndicate, we have no
means Of definitely knowing. At
any rate il has the scent of kerosene
about it SO strong tnat these Indi-
ans will not be deceived by IL.

BILL ROGERS STORE CLOSED.
VIII test the legality of the proceed
lngs in the courts.

The seizure of w. @. Rogers
store at Talala by United States
revenue inspector Frank c..
Churchill has occasioned a good
deal OF excitement throughout the
Cherokee nation. When the store
was FIRST closed the key was hand
ed back to Mr.. Rogers and he
opened up and began business as
usual, then the store was again
shut up. Rogers will test the le-
gality of the proceedings in the
courts. He informed the inspector
if he owed anything that he was
ready to pay it and suggested that
the way to proceed would be to
seize and sell enough goods to pay
the tax and not destroy his busi-
ness. The outcome is watched
with interest.

The Indian girls Of the Chick
asaw nation seem to be up to date.
The evils arising from the mar
risges of white men with Indian
girls have become notorious.
Usually the unions were sought
by whites of worthless character,
merely in order that they might
get possession of the valuable
lands allotted to the brides In
view OF this a law was enacted by
the Indian legislature establishing
the marriage fee in such cases at
$1,000. AS a remedial measure
much was expected of the law. II
has just come into effect, and at
Ardmore, /. r., recently some
thousand or more Indian girls, in
meeting assembled, Indignantly
"resolved" that the law and the
instigaters thereof were intolerable
interferers- with woman's inalien-
able right to marry whom che
would; and the end is not yet. lex.
