factory,

L. NJ. Tucker, of Joplin Mo-, woh was
in the city recently in the interest of a
zinc mining company, in an interview
with a reporter for the G lobe gave
very different statement of the Indian
uprisings in the Creek nation than those
heralded by the@ press reports Mr..
Tucker stated that he had recently been
in Okmulgee, Ind. Ter. which lies near
the heart of the reported troubles, and
had also been in other places where the
Indians are said to be cutting up their
didoes
According to Mr. Tucker the press re-
ports have greatly magnified the disturb
ances. He denied that there had been
any sanguinary depredations on the part
of the red men such as has been gener-
ally reported, and said that a white man
is now, and has been all along, as safe
in that strip of country as almost any
where else.
Mr.. Tucker described the situation ard
causes leading thereto ABOUT in this man

is universal, and becomes wearied, dis

rious matters.
AS a last line to this letter I wish to
say that no city in America is attempting
nobler work in some directions at least
than Chicago. The special provision
made for deaf children, for cripples, for
deHclents, and for incorrigible pupils is
certainly most commendable and in adj

OF the Creek Indians, named Cetto Har-
10, imbued with the idea of instituting
reforms in the tribal government, de-
cided to revert back to the primitive
methods which the Indians used 20 fol-
low, and to carry out his designs he or
ganized band of the most desperate
of his fellows. The band did Cetto the
honor of electing him chief and reforms
were at once undertaken. The first
move of the willy Creek Indian and his
men was to set upon the whisky peddlers
with whom that section, notwithstanG-
Ing the fact that the law prohibits the
sale of liquor was then thickly populated
They went at random and sold their in
toXicants to every one who had the price
ito pay A number of these outlaws were
arrested by the Indians under Chief
Cetto and one who attempted escape was
shot and killed
The Indians, however, did not prove
model reformers, for after obtaining the
liquor they literally saturated themselves
with it instead of destroying it. This,
naturally resulted in the Red men get
ting on campaign of debauchery in
which they were, of course, not the most
pleasant companions, but no serious
harm is known to have come from their
conduct. They kept up their attacks on
the whisky vendors for some time and
as result that section has been almost
entirely rid of them. In thus taking
the law in their own hands, Mr. Tucker
said, the Indians. while, of course, not
acting exactly within their proper lin
its, accomplished very important work
which the United States marshals are
expected to do.
Satisfied with their efforts along the
line of temperance reform, the red men
next undertook to supplant a custom of
leasing lands which had long been in
vogue They had been in the habit of
leasing their land to white men and try
ing to subsist on the rentals. which, in
the vast majority of cases. proved quite
inadequate. The returns from their lease
would be enough to give them bare
existence. and with the less thrifty this

Rice Street Residents object to AS

A delegation of Rice street property
owners, headed by Nicholas Pottgeisers
appeared before Mayor Smith yesterday
to protest against his signing the orders
calling for the paving of Rice street with
asphalt. Mr.. Pottgeiser, who acted aa
spokesman, protested on the ground that
asphalt was too costly, and, besides, tho
majority of the property owners did
not want it. -
Mayor Smith refused to see it in that
light and informed the delegation THAI

FIELD DAY OF EMBREASO CLUB.
Photo by Reutlinger, Paris

Tho annual field day and luncheon Of
the Embroaso club of this city was held
at Buttonwoods Beach Hotel on Tuesday
last
The affair was one OF the most consplc-
nous and thoroughly delightful events
I'm the history of the club, and Will long
linger In the memory OF the many who
participated in IL. The elaborate lunch
con was served, at l o'clock, by Lyman,
I'm the hotel dining room and the table
was bright with apple blossoms and good
cheer.
At the conclusion OF the luncheon oc-
Cured the post prandial exercises.
These consisted of "a number OF toasts
and responses as follows:
Loyalty" by Mrs. Fred Booth; "In1u-
encc OF Club Life on the home" Mrs.
Whelden &. Langford: THE Other Side
OF the House. Husbands, Fathers, Broth
ers and Sons" by Mrs Edward *. AL

Beach.
The president OF the club, Mrs. Charles
II. Beach. officiated most gracefully as
toastmistress of the occasion, introduce
ing first Mrs. Booth, who dwelt upon the
meaning of true loyalty and closed by
applying it's significance to the club, to
ITS president and TO each individual mem
Der thereof.
In the response 10 the second toast
Mrs Iangford dwelt upon two points,
lis club life OF women inimical to the
home life?
Does club life unfit woman for home
life?
I'm answer to these questions" she
said. II would say that the club move
ment belongs essentially to the home.
as the movement finds it's students. It's
promoters and its followers among
home makers. and through its influence
upon individuals becomes one OF the
| strongest factors in the development Of
new home ideas.
THUS the club movement is n home
movement i'm its beginning and its end.
Going out from the home IL returns
bringing all its treasures 90 the home"
In response TO the third toast Mrs. Al
drich said I'm part: ''To the husbands,

permitted so many pleasures, all honor
and affection are due. To those who may
