Ed Shanahan has been nomi'
mated as a candidate for the office
of Mayor of Vinita by the com
mittees of Democrats and kepuo'
licans acting jointly upon the IN
structions of a citizens mass meet
ing to place a non-partlsan ticket
in the field.
The gentlemen OF the committees
had no easy task in agreeing upon
a list of candidates, as there were
many more candidates than offices
and all aspirants had coterle OF
friends who insisted upon the.
naming of their favorite. In all
instances was this true with the
exception Of the naming OF a may
orality candidate. With univer-
sal accord all cliques and factions
agreed upon the name ol vi
Shanahan, but there developed a
feeling that Mr.. Davenport should
be endorced because be made the
successful fight against Bell.

s;rad n endorse the candidacy ol

AGAINST THE TREATY
Judge Cochran Gives his Objections
TO the Agreement.

Editor Chieftain-ln The last
issue of your paper | notice that
some citizen at Talala, |. r., is at
a loss as TO the mineral clause in
the treaty. Would suggest that he
read Cherokee Lease Law, Dec. .,
1888. Any person, company or
corporation had right to obtain
lease not to exceed five miles
square for twenty years. To my
knowledge, under this act, Coo
weeskoowee district is under
lease held by lessee and sub.lesses,
who claim they were prospecting
in good faith when Cherokee laws
ceased by act of congress. Sec
ton 70, in amended treaty, reads
thus:
That nothing in this act con-
tanned. shall be held or construed
to change, alter, modify or impair
any existing coal or oil rights
heretofore acquired by lease, loca'
ton or otherwise, or to ratily, con-
firm, recognize, or validate any
such rights."
If this means nothing why was
it inserted in, the treaty? The
writer says the legality OF the
leases will have to be settled In
court. l say, mol That if the
treaty is ratified it will be the su-
preme law of the land. If de-
feated, the mineral leases are OF
no effect.
All | want is a clear title to my
norton of land. If you want
lease plastered on your land vote
for the treaty, as you are votint

matter; and if you want to an

In nominal control of K~achinland for
some years, but never have really oc-

then an expedition has to be dispatched
there to restore order and to remind
the natives that they are British sub
Jects; but civilization never yet has
penetrated through the mountains and
the dense forests to this land of rubies,
gold dust and jadestone. Nearly all the
trade of the country is carried on with
the Chinese; but the government OF
India now has it in mind to open up
the country to trade with Burmah and
hence with the rest of the world. 1t is
a virgin field for exploitation, and in
these days, when no corne of the
earth is neglected in the search for
riches, Kachinland cannot long escape
the general fate of all rich regions. AL

He Expels
Devils.

DR.. William D.. Gentry, who con-
ducts a mission in Chicago, claims to
have and to exercise the power of cast
ing out devils. He began the work, he
says three years G when a woman
brought to him an afflicted child. The
victim made a kissing noise with it's
mouth and for a time the doctor was
perplexed to know whether the evil
spirit in possession of the child was a
snake or a goose. He elected it, how
ever, and since hen the doctor has
been in the devil-expelling business.
DIR. Gentry is a great believer in the
efficacy of prayer and relates one case
that was cured by supplication after
all medical means had failed. The doc
tor was then a practitioner himself,
but since that time he has given up
his medical practice and has labored
to heal the sick with the power that
he claims has been conferred upon
him. He takes no stock in Christian
Science and unlike Dowie he has no
use for money. His services are free.
The doctor has a peculiar idea about
the part the sun plays in our planetary
system and it is worth quoting. He
says the sun has no heat, that it is as
cold as ice. "The sum-" he continues,

How One That John Drew Wore
Almost Broke Up an Act.
John Drew, as is well known, is most
particular regarding his dress. both on
and off the stage. He was playing in
"The Liars" two seasons ago on h
road, and his itinerary included nearly
two weeks of successive one night
stands. His man attendant always
looked arfter the clothing he wore at
the theater, bringing to the actors
dressing room shortly before Mr.. Drew
appeared 60 dress. In one of the small
er cities the valet had sent MIR. Drew's
linen to a laundry, and the actor found,
when about to don it, that the bosom OF
his dress hirt contained a polish which
Disguised him. He said things. But
there was nothing t. do but wear it,
polish and all. Mr.. Drew had a long
speech in a scene with Arthur Byron.
The latter at once observed the nusual
polish on Mr.. Drew's shirt front, and
while he was delivering the lengthy d.
alogue, Mr.. Byron, though it was not
noticed by the audience, began to ad-
Just his hair. straighten his tie, and
otherwise complete his toilet by the aid
of the polish on Mr.. Drew's shirt. A
roar went up from behind the scenes,
and Mr.. Byron's joke nearly spoiled the
scene,-New York Times.

take on a peculiarly fascinating aspect
where the articles dealt in are such as
these. A pork-packing establishment
In Chicago is much more to be desired
from a commercial standpoint than a
ruby mine in this Kachinland, as the
place is called, but how much more
romantic and dazzling the Kachin
property sounds when you talk about
it. 1t is a wild land from which the
rubies, the jade, the gold and the am
Der come, and is inhabited by a wild
and savage people, who work the prec-
1ous deposits of the country in a print
tive manner. But the British are in
there now, and it is only "a question of
m when the far-off region will be
exploited for all it is worth. This jade,
or Jadeite, is dug out of a mountain in
one place and in another it is found at
the bottom of a river and the natives
dive for it from RATS. This jade is
translucent and varies in colors from
a creamy white through different
shades to a delicate green. The Chi
nese use it extensively for vases, rings,
bracelets, etc., and make beautifully
carved ornaments out of it. One va
r1ety of jade they call "kingishers'
plumes," on account of it's coloring.
The finest jade in the world comes
from this almost unknown Kachinland,
and bands of Chinese merchants are
constantly coming and going, bringing
cloth, etc, which they barter for the
gllttering products of the country. The
rubies the Kachins get by digging into
the hillsides, and the gold dust by
washing it out of the sands of the
streams. This land is the home of the

The woman is neatly developed in

has been a blazing mass since the ere
alton of the world. The absurdity Of
such statement is s~elf-evident. How
can anything keep on burning and not
be consumed? The sun was burned
out ages ago. 1t furnishes us light
simply by acting as a reflector for the
myriads of worlds in the armament.
Whence ome the worlds heat,
then, you ask, and what causes the
change of seasons? Part of the
worlds heat ome from its interior,
which is a blazing and liquid state.
The rest Of the heat comes from it's
atmosphere, which is brought into
friction with the various stratas
through which the revolutions of the
world carry it. These stratas vary,
and it is owing to their variance that
we have the changes in temperature
and in seasons.
I'm time this mass of fire in the
interior Of the earth is going to de-
Stroy it. There is a constant change
going on in the physical aspect of the
earth, due to this fire, but the trouble
is that observers do not attribute them
to the proper cause. The Bible says
that the earth shall perish by fire, and
this prophecy, to my mind, refers to
the internal fires of the world

The age of the bridegroom does not

Every morning she takes the soft
