The Chieftain has little sym
pathy with the cry now being
raised that If the treaty is not rat
flied we are brought face to face
with a crisis, and that disaster
must follow such rejection. We
have had some anxieties about
the effect of the failure Of the
treaty, but see no grounds for the
cry that tbs government will make
nor receive no more overtures
from these people. Such talk is
childish in the extreme. The
Cherokees are tenfold more inter
ested in getting affairs here settled
finally than ig the government.
II means vastly more to them
than II does to anyone else. The
Cherokees have some rights with
reference to the distribution Of
their common property that they
propose tO protect to the best OF
their ability. Too much has been
LEFT TO such unscrupulous dema'
gogues as Curtis of Kansas, and il
is time congress was investigating
some Of its own committees.

rnn oRAsPnRs ARE Active.

The advocates Of tbs treaty are
fond Of asserting that the senu.
ment in favor Of its ratification is
growing, and that if it is defeated
Il will be on account Of lack Of
time 10 discuss IL. These asser-
sions are untrue and are reflec.
tion upon the intelligence Of the
Cherokee people. 1t is a remark
able fact that the people loudest in
advocacy Of the treaty are those
who have no interest at stake, and
those who expect TO get something
for nothing by its ratification.
The ratification of the treaty
would add few more millions to
the assets Of the Standard Oil
company, and incidentally make
a few Cherokees rich who hold
leases. The common Cherokee
Indian should better wake up and
not fail to 20 TO the polls and vote
against it, because the enemy is
not idle and is prepared to spend
large sums Of money to carry II
Il has recently developed that the
mineral lease people propose to
secure the ratification of this treaty
II money will accomplish It. They
realize that never again will they
get chance to secure wha; hey
80 much covet, namely, the min
era! of this nation II this treaty
Is defeated congress will drive
their lobbyists from its halls, as
should have been done heretofore.
The talk that no more treaties
will be made comes from the enc
nv and is untrue. When this
treaty is defeated it will have been
demonstrated that the Cherokees
are determined II not surrender
their rights and that they will
only consent to a fair division Of
their tribal estate. The threat to
use money aud force at the polls
is beneath the dignity Of a true
American citizen and should be
rebuked by an overwhelming vote
against so unjust treaty. There
are few government officials who
have proclaimed themselves un-
safe and corrupt spectators by
their positions upon the treaty.

these words:
Nearer my Col TO Thee,

DR.. Luxe.
DR.. Luke, we'll known and be-
loved physician Of Europe, has givei
TO the world some valuable historical
aud scientific works.
Being an excellent Greek scholar
his works were 1rst written IL that
language, but have been widely trans
lated.
AS might be expected his scientific
writings are principally along the linc
OF therapeutics, the most Of his liter
airy aud historical work is concerning
great physician who wrought great
many wonderous cures.
DR.. Luke does not tell us 70 what
school OF medicine this physician be-
longed but II is is.clearly evident that
there we're no surgical instruments
used aud no drugs whatever:
That some Of the cures we're faith
cures, and magnetic cures, and came
within the range Of what might be
called Christian Science Is quite prob
able, though DR.. Luke uses no such
terms.
This great physician was not spec
ialist. All the diseases peculiar to
that time and locality were by him
cured.
DR.. Luke tells Of several touching
Instances where lifelong lnyalids we're
healed by the wonderful friend OF suf-
ferlng humanity.
His practice lasted only few years,
but long enough 20 establish bis fame
as a physician, but not his fortune
however.
DIR. Luke does not mention a single
instance where any fee was received,
not ever for the cure OF blindness or
insanity, or that horror OF the world
leprosy. That this great physician
should found a school OF therapeutics
would naturally be the great desire OF
the people, and In a manner he did.
He had a class TO whom he gave in
struclion. They also had wonderful
success. DR.. Lukes account OF these
must be very interesting to the medl-
cal fraternity.
There are but few people 10 this age
OF the world who telleye ia miracles.
And II Is well.
II we reject the miracle idea, then
we must believe Ia natural law, and
modestly acknowledge that some nat
ural laws are not yet clear to our de-
veloping minds.
This physician, while possessing
great patience, must have been i'm
pressed with the dullness Of comprS-
hension OF many OF his would-be pu-
pills, but he repeatedly urged them to
deep and thorough study. On one Oc-
caslon, shortly before his death he as
sured his followers that IL would be
possible for them TO do greater things
than he had done.
The whole account Is simply won
derful. Aud yet It seems unaccount-
able that so few have studied this
work Of DR.. Luke's or Investigated the
wonderful system OF the physician
whose name is dear TO the whole
world.
Sometimes this valuable but unap.
preciated little volume containing Or.
Lukes works is missing from the
shelves Of tolerably well read physl
clans.
II Is an unfortunate neglect, aud al
most inexcusable. That the world
will some time understand, and sp
preciate and develop this wonderful
system Of therapeutics, we firmly be
lieye. The dawn Is near. Back OF al
the shams, impos tors and inefficient
efforts there IS a grand truth, anC
back OF the truth Divine God.

year old son, Henry, were
killed Tuesday night blythe Katy
flyer, and his wife, Ollie, and
Slim Jim, all full-blood Paw
paw Indians, were fatally in
jured.
The party were in one of the
covered wagons of a caravan of
Indians who were on their way
to visit friends and relatives
near Baxter Springs. Wilson,
with his wife and baby boy,
were lying in the box of the
wagon with Slim Jim driving.
The latter failed to hear the
warning whistle of the flyer
and was crossing the track at
Jones Spur, about eight miles
north Of Vinita, when the en-
gine struck the wagon and ut
terly demolished it. Pieces of
the wagon with the clothing
and provisions in the wagon at
the time were carried in some
instances a half mile, a spoke
and an iron tire being found
fully that distance from the
crossing.
The train was about 90 min
utes behind time and was trav-
cling at a rate of So miles an
hour. When the engineer saw
the wagon he applied the
brakes and sounded the whistle,
but so fast.was the train NOV
ing that it ran about a half
mile before it could be brought
to a stop.
The bodies of the unfortun-
ate people were hurled through
the air quite a distance, the
baby being found about 300
feet away.
One of the horses was killed
and the other so badly injured
that it was probably shot.
Neighbors who had been at
tracted by the engine whistle
hastened to care for the dead
and wounded, and Mrs. Wilson
and Slim jim, both uncon'
scious, were laid side by side
on a bed in the home of 7. A.
Cole. An Impoverished bier oi
chairs was provided in the
same room for the body of Mr.
Wilson, and the babe was laiC

During the more than ten years
OF the present editorial manage.
ment Of The Chieftain, II has ad-
vocated no measure that II was
not reasonably sure was for the
best Of all the Cherokee people as
whole. This year it probably
reaches a few more Cherokee citi.
zens than ever before in it's ex-
istence and it is especially careful
that no word from il will induce a
single vote to be cast in favor Of
the agreement soon TO be voted on.
This measure, in our opinion, is
scheme OF little less than open
robbery, and would occasion
great loss and long continued en-
barrassment. The enemies Of this
nation can nearly all be grouped
on the side of those who favor the
ratification of the treaty, aud un-
fortunately there are also those
on that side who have been mis-
lead into believing that anything
Is better than present conditions.
This is certainly most fatal er-
ror. The present indications are,
however, that the treaty will be
overwhelmingly defeated.
