THE BOARDS DIFFER.

The friction between the Ma.
lional Cherokee board OF eduoa.
tion at Tahleqush and the Vinita
board eliminated in the exclusion
OF Cherokee children outside the
city limits from the school at the
meeting Of the board yesterday.
The chief cause Of this action
rests with the national board and
lis refusal TO allow the city board
TO name the teachers will result in
large number Of Cherokee chill
dren being deprived Of the means
of an education through the in
strumenlality Of the Cherokee
school funds to which they are
entitled to a full share. The hard
ship will fall especially hard upon
this olas5 OF citizens on account Of
the removal of their house where
school was formerly taught, to the
east side where il is now used for
the colortd school.
Had the Cherokee national
board complied with the explicit
agreement to reappoint teachers
selected by The Vinita board there
would have been no friction and
Cherokee children in reach of the
school would have been provided
with an excellent school. Had
the Cherokee board consulted the
best interests Of the people they
are supposed to serve, the disrup-
tion would not have occurred.
Through political influence the
Cherokee citizens around Vinita
have suffered The loss OF their
school, and the town has been de-
priyed Of $500 a year II the
national board WAS abolished there

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. NJ. Cox, the subject OF this
sketch, who died at her home in
this city Wednesday morning,
Feb'y 9Th, 1901, was born in Am.
ersburgh, Canada, Nov. 9, 1928.
Her grandmother was neice Of
the famous Tecumseh, the great
leader aud warrior OF the Shawnee
race. Her grandfather, Robert
Ironsides, was for years the Indian
Agent for the British government
to the Indians OF Canada.
Mrs. Cox could recount many
interesting "reminiscences Of her
early childhood, in old Ft. Maiden,
as Amersburgh was then called,
when the Indians came by hun.
dreds to receive their annual pres
ents from the British government,
and well remembered the last
distribution ever made to them.
she went from Canada to Kansas
in the fall of 1860, and removed
with her family from there to the
Cherokee nation in 1871. She
resided on her farm until 1874
when she moved to Vinila, but
afterwards returned to the farm
where she continued to reside until
October, 1899, when she made
Vinita her final home.
Two years ago she built cosy
and comfortable home in the west
ern part town, where she resided
with her son Herbert. Her sister,
Mrs. George Blakeney, and her
husband, also made their home
with them. In fact it seemed as
if che had just become situated 80
as to fully enjoy the evening Of
her days, in the quiet and comfort
OF a home among her relatives ana
friends, and within easy distance
OF her church, to which she was
deeply devoted.
But God, whose plans we shall
hereafter better understand, called
her TO higher and happier duties
She leaves two devoted sons, Her
bert aud Claude Cox, who were
with her when she died, two
brothers aud three sisters-Colin
lronsides Of Michigan; Robert
lronsides OF Vinila; Mrs. G. Crutch
field Of Lawrence, Kansa9, Mrs,
II. /. West Of Vinita, and Mrs.
George Blakeney als1 Of YInila.
Mrs. Cox was devout member
of the Episcopal church, all Of hel
life, aud an earnest and active
church worker to the dsy OF hel
death. She was greatly interested
in the completion and dedication
Of the new 81. Johns Chapel in
this city and her whole Interest
seemed centered in the church
work.
The funeral services were helC
in ST. Johns Episcopal church
Rev. f. II. Jones conducting thu
solemn and impressive ceremonies
Mrs. Cox was one Of the bes
informed women Of her age in thil
community. She was an interested
member Of the Literary society o
this city and rarely missed a meet
ing She possessed remarkable
memory, and was familiar will
many past eyants ofinleresi as wei
y the current topics Of the day. He

The visit Of the Kansas City
Commercial club to Vinita last
night will perhaps not result in
any appreciable good to the town
nor the visitors. If Vinita busi-
ness is not Of more importance
than to command a night visit
from Kansas City it is not worth
considering. Thirty minutes spent
in Vinita after business hours has
no significance, and is not consid-
sidered recognition.

Tribal politics has always been
recognised in the beard of educa-

or an officer of the United States
government the better for all con-
cerned.

The killing ol Don Beck at
Maysyille the other day emphasizes
the fact that the days Of the out
law are few and full of trouble. A
dozen years ago the outlaw was
hard to dislodge, owing to the
thinly settled condition Of the

facilities and the thickly settled
country they are generally cap.
tured or killed in few days, or
weeks at the outside.

No man ever sheltered a more
dangerous thought than that OF
revenge for some real OF fancied
wrong. Today a man remarked
on the street that he would get
even with some one who had
wronged him. Such a spirit is the
sign Of a jaundiced mind, and the
man is proposing to take into his
own hands the prerogative Of the
Almighty who says: Vengeance
is mine; / will repay"
