More good dwellings to rent is
more than ever one of the crying
necessities Of Vinita. People are

People are not afraid to come to
Vinita, and stay when they come,
despite the unloward conditions.

The interior department has
been collecting taxes on non .citi-

no tax upon any but citizens.
The Cherokee's went into the

officials from collecting the tax.

If every Cherokee citizen were
restricted to bis pro rata share of
land holdings there would be a
change OF sentiment with refer.
ence to statehood. This country
cannot remain an Indian country,

division OF the tribal estate among

that can be accomplished. The

OWES LIFE TO MISS WILSON.
London wonders If Count Mensdorf
VIII Wed His beautiful
Rescuer.

People are asking who was the Dip
lomat Miss Muriel Wilson rescued on
the train going down to Chatsworth,
in England He is none other than
Count Mensdorf, London's most select
young man, first secretary of the Aus
trian embassy and a cousin of the
queen.
Miss Muriel, who is beautiful, tall
ented and the best amateur actress
of the day, has refused endless offers
of marriage, among Others one from
the present duke of Marlborough, to
whom she replied when he made his
offer: 81 have not got enough money
for you, Blenheim needs you to mar
ry a rich heiress."
Miss Muriel is tall and athletic and
INDUCES in fencing and Norwegian
exercises, which are so fashionable in
society just now. Count Mensdorf is
small and light. She was standing
on the train platform when Count
Mensdorf made well-nigh fatal rush.
In moment the alert girl saw the
step he had made and seized him by
the collar and, with the ease of
trained amazon, hauled him up from
between the train and the platform.
"Will they marry?" people ask.

NEW METHOD OF TRACTION.
Hungarian Invention That Promises
to RevOlutionize Motive
Power.

It was supposed until the last mo-
ment that an American concern
would secure the contract for equip
ping the old underground system OF
London with electric traction. There
were nine tenders. The American bid
ders were the lowest, except Cans &
Co., of Buda-Pesth. The bid of this
company was not very much below
that of all Others but proposes a sys-
TEN entirely novel, which, if their
claims are substantiated, will reyo-.
lutionize the motive power of the
world and supplant all others. The
directors were astonished, and de-
ferred the awarding of the contract.
They will send a committee and ex-
perts to Buda-Pesth to examine into
the matter. Discussing this proposi-
tion, the Engineer, newspaper, says:
1--WE are not at liberty to give de-
tailed information. We can say, how
ever, that if the statements are SUBJ
stantiated, Cans & Co. are as far
ahead of the American traction prac-
tice as the Americans tell us they are
ahead of the British. In a word, the
new system will do for full-sized rail
ways what hitherto has been possible
for tramways only.
at is rumored that the American
bidders are determined to get the
contract, and it is a suggestive fact
that underground shares are being
heavily bought on orders from the
United States. This may be coin
cidence, but the statement is not in
consistent with the practice of trusts,
which endeavor to control matters on
the other side of the Atlantic"

PLANT pECANS.

ly. Now almost our entire production
of pecans comes from Louisiana and
Texas, and from these fields the direc.
tor has got his finest specimens.
1t is the intention to propagate a
number of the young plants, both by
nut planting and obtaining slips or
sprouts from the southern territory
which is most prolific and during the
next year distribute them in parts of
the country where it is thought they
may be grown.
1t is the opinion of the director OF
plant industry that almost any nut
known to commerce may be cultivated
in some part of our variable climate,
and it is his intention to follow this ex.

GIRLS SOLD AT AUCTION.
Five Chinese Mnidens Disposed OF 10
Highest bidder In San
Francisco.

Five Chinese slave girls were sold at
public auction in San Francisco's Chi
natown the other day, as publicly AS
though they had been in Canton,
where such human slavery is recog-
nized institution. The girls were the
property of Gong Cow, an old China
man who has kept for years one Of
the disreputable dens in Chinatown.
He wanted to go back to China, so he
advertised the furniture and chattels
of his establishment for sale at auc-
tion.
When the sale began there was a
large crowd The girls were exhib-
tied and the auctioneer enumerated
their good points. They stood stolid-
ly by, as they were used to such pro-
ceedings, having been sold in Canton
before they were brought here. They
fetched fancy prices, as the restric-
tion act is so rigidly enforced now
that it is difficult to get pretty Chi
nese girls into the country.
They sold at from $1,700 to $3.50
each, and they were at once removed
to the quarters of their new owners,
who will begin to draw large revenue
from their earnings.

TO MEET.
Will Try to Win Honors from OK
ford and Cambridge.
Yale ana Harvard student,, Anxious
to Wipe Out Defeat mt .HRnds of
English students in tsDO-Brit-
ishers 10 Come to America.

Yale and Harvard will meet Oxford
again. and the athletes of the Ameri-
can universities will try to wipe out
the defeat they received at the hands
of the English students in the sum-
mer of 1899. N4f
Preliminary arrangements have
been for some time in the hands of
prominent alumni of all four universi-
ties, says the New ork World, and
are now well advanced, but not one
word will any of the men who are ne
gotiating with the Englishmen say.
Great secrecy has been maintained
by all who are in any way connected
with the proposed meeting, but 1t has
been ascertained that negotiations
were pending, and that e. j. Wendell,
a prominent and enthusiastic Harvard
alumnus, to a certain extent repre-
sented his alma mater in the matter.
Ever since the two American college
teams of runners, jumpers and weight
putters crossed the Atlantic in 1899
and were beaten by the English col
legians by one point, Harvard and
Yale alumni have been striving to get
the English teams to meet the Ameri-
cans at home. The plan is to have
Oxford and Cambridge pay visit
here, and have the contests come off
on neutral grounds, preferably Man
haitian field. New York.
The English athletes are willing to
come, and might have been here dur
ing the past summer If the Americans
could have come to some agreement
about the place of meeting. Harvard
wanted Cambridge. Yale insisted up
on New Haven. Harvard wanted one
date. Yale another. While they were
trying to agree the British teams
were depleted by some of their best
men going to South Africa to fight
the Beers.
Now, however, men have become in
terested in the controversy between
Yale and Harvard that are more in
terested in the games themselves than
in the place or date of holding them,
and there is every reason to believe
that the British collegians will be
seen on an American field next sum-
mer, F-r

MARKED COIN COMES BACK.
Returns After Twenty-Five Years of
Wandering to the Original
Owner.

Twenty-Five years ago, while work
ing in the blacksmith shop of J. w.
Shelter. at Stoughton, Wis, Harvey
Hawman, former chief OF police Of
Sioux City, stamped the letters 81.
w. ST." his employers initials, on a
half-dollar. This week that same coin,
without any doubt, was handed to
him over the counter of his fish mar
ket in Sioux City, Ia. The coin had
been worn smooth by constant han
ding during the quarter of a CEN
tury. In that period of time it had
perhaps jingled in the pockets of
thousands of persons and may have
Travelled miles across the country and
back, only to land finally in the hands
of the man who had marked it with
letters of an unmistakable character.
Never was man more completely
surprised than was Mr.. Hawman when
he saw the marked coin. In spite OF
the fact that he had not thought Of
it since he last saw it, he recognized
it at once, and his mind flashed back
over the quarter of century. He
proposes to keep it now.

SILK WILL BE HIGH.
turbances in China Seriously At
feet SILK and Tea Trade.

The consequences of the disturb
ances in China are being seriously felt
in the silk and tea trades, says Con-
sui Hughes, at Coburg, Germany, in q
communication to the state depart
ment. While the estimated Chinese
production of silk for last year is es-
timated at 9,920,700 pounds, which is
by no means bad result in itself,
yet the uncertain conditions of busi-
ness make it rather risky to import
Chinese goods, This has caused de-
mand of Syrian silk goods. Unfor-
tunately, the present silk crop in
Turkey is not very good, so that rise
of prices is probable. The tea trade,
states Mr.. Hughes, is in a similar po-
sition. Insurance companies do not
like to run the risks and refuse to in.
sure Chinese goods while banks have
ceased to advance money on this kind
of merchandise, The Ceylon tea plan
tations, concludes the colsul, will
benefit by these conditions.

There are many people in this city
