TEXAS SANITARY METHODS.
Mexicans offered Armed Resistance
But the Rangers Helped En-
force Regulations.

Last year, says the writer Of an
article on "The Texas Rangers" in
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, there
was an outbreak of smallpox in the
Mexican quarter Of Laredo, and the
inhabitants would neither be vac
cinated nor would they permit the
smallpox patients among them to be
removed to the hospital. Capt. Rogers
and seven rangers were ordered to the
scene to enforce the sanitary regula-
tions. The Mexicans organized and
armed themselves to resist. AS soon
as the troop arrived in the town Capt.
Rogers, with one man, went to the
street in which smallpox patient
was located. AS he was walking up
the street he was shot from cover by
a Mexican, who was promptly killed
by the private who accompanied the
captain. The sound of firing brought
the remaining rangers to the scene,
and they advanced up the street, firing
as they went. Hundreds of armed
Mexicans had gathered in the street
to kill off the hated Americans, but the
back-door exodus that accompanied
the advance of the rangers would have
ludicrous, except for the accompany
ing spectacle of the wounded Mexi-
cans, half-dozen of whom were left
IN the street after the rangers had
passed. The official report of the affair
naively concludes: "After this the
removal of smallpox patients was an

COMING OF THE FALL.

By the day that shorter grows,
By the night with lengthen'd close;
BY the sky that seems less blue,
BY the clouds of somber hue;
BY these signs, yes, by them all,
We note the coming of the Fall.
By the signing of the trees,
BY the dropping of the leaves;
BY the garners full of grain,
BY the stubble on the plain;
By the harvest gather'd all,
We note the coming of the Fall.
By the aspect growing drear,
BY the grasses turning sere;
BY the flowers that droop and fade,
BY old Sol less bright array'd;
BY the air in hut and hall,
We note the coming of the Fall.
BY the birds that southwark fly,
By the brook that hurries by;
BY the threatening whip-poor-will,
Sounding note that bodeth i'll,
BY the quaiFs familiar call,
We note the coming of the Fall.
By the golden-rod alight,
BY the sumach red and bright;
By the cardinals ablow,
BY the lilies lying low;
BY the reeds now rank and tall.
We note the coming of the Fall.
BY fair summers requiem sung,
In Dame Natures plaintive tongue;
BY the sobbing of the rain,
BY our hearts that join the strain,
BY the joys we would recall
We note the coming of the Fall.

A FLORAL WONDER.
Originated by a Grower of California
and known the "Shasta
Daisy"

The newest floral wonder is the
"Shasta daisy" originated by a flower
grower of California. 1t mea asures a
foot in circumference, and when one
was exhibited recently in florists
window in San Francisco, people lit
orally focked to see it, says the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post.
1t is really new kind of flower,
and has been produced by several
years of crossing and selection, three
different kinds of daisies being used
the common American species. the
larger and coarser European sort and
the japanese daisy.
There are three rows of petals of
the purest white, and each blossom is
upheld by single strong and wirv
stem which is nearly two feet long.
One advantage of the Shasta daisy
is said to be that it is exceedinolv
hardy, enduring much cold, so that it
can be grown out-of-doors. 1t is
claimed that it prospers in almost apv
KIND of soil, blooms all summer long
Tin California nearly all the wear
round) and may be rapidly multiplied
by dividing the roots.
A peculiarity of this new and beeuti.
ful blossom is that it sometimes shows
colors, indicating that daisies of yari-
GUS hues and of gigantic size NAV be
piaced on the market before long.

THE TREATY Is DEAD.

The insertion of clause in the
Cherokee treaty protecting the
Standard Oil company in its hold
upon the Cherokee nation is a
most unfortunate occurrence. That
it was done at the last moment,
and after the treaty had practically
been agreed to by the conferees of
the two houses of congress, shows
how strenuous have been the ef-
forts of the oil and mineral mag
mates to secure recognition in the
agreement. 1t would be interest.
ing to know the true inwardness
of the scheme which can have no
other purpose than to plum der a
tribe of Indians. That congress
would thus become a party to so
nefarious a plan of robbery is be-
yond conception.
The Cberokees will never ratify
the treaty as it now stands, and to
do so would be the height Of folly.
They will, if forced to hold an
election, vote against it so over
whelmlngly as to fittingly rebuke
the perfdy of the government that
ought to protect, instead Of rob
them. They will Indignantly re-
ject the whole agreement and it is
hoped stand upon their rights as
American citizens. They will
claim the protection of the courts
of the country to rid them of the
octopus that has fastened its
tentecles upon their oil and
their minerals. The treaty is dead.
1t was stabbed by The Standard /
Oil company deep, and under the
fifth rib. 1t should be with poor
grace that the Cherokee's could be ;
asked TO subscribe 10 another
agreement, as this is the second .
one that has been strang!ed by
congress in its frantic endeavors
to aid trust in overriding the
law and running helpless people.

VIEWS OF A CITIZEN.

Editor Chieftain-This is th,
first time in life that | have evel
tried to write anything for publ
cation. | see citizens seem to be
dumb and have not much to say
about the present condition of oul
country and the wants of our peo.
pie.
/ am citizen of the Cherokee
nation and will endeavor to give
you sketch of the wants of ma
jority of the citizens l have talked
with.
If tits worthy OF your considera-
ton you can publish it or throw it
in your waste basket.
see in one of your late papers
that Mr.. j. George Wright report
ed to the secretary of the interior
that a majority of the Cherokee
citizens were in favor of 100 acres
to each and every one tor this al
lotment. If Mr.. Wright had said
majority of land and mineral
grabbers he would have made the
thing more clear,
If we have got to accept allot.
ment let us have the eighty acres.
Let eighty acres be the basis of
value of first grade land at Sc. so
per acre.
Could there be any justice of one
citizen getting 120 acres of first
grade land and another citizen 120
acres of second or third or fourth
grade? Certainly there could not
be l can't believe the govern
ment will allow any such whole
sale robbery. For myself, 1 am
opposed to allotting the land.
If you allot this country there
will be a rush of whites in here
and they Will get control Of our
courts and legislature and make
laws to suit themselves and fix
some way to get the land out of

Every man who wants to come
to Vinita to build a home or to 90
into business should do so regard
less of whether the treaty is ever
ratified or not, The land is safely
reserved to the Indians until such
time as an agreement is reached,
and in the meantime the country
is filling up with good farmers,
and the town will grow into a city,

VIII Have a Front Seat.

w. M. Mellette left today for Wash
ington to be present at the inaugural
ceremonies Of President Mckinley
next Monday. The gentleman has
been appointed a member OF the re-
ception committee by Lieut.. Gen.
Miles and, with the other members Of
the committee, will be greatly in ev-
idence during the day and at the in
augural ball at night. The position
is an honOred one and entities Mr..

There was never a time in the
history Of Vinita when there was
less excuse for street loafing by
able bodied men. Every man or
boy who wants to work and earn
money may do SO. for work is
plentiful. But the crowd of street
loungers and box. whittlers is un-
diminished Notwithstanding the
urgent demand for laborers on ev-
cry hand.

remember when | was boy
and went to school of reading in
the first or second reader about a
white man going to an Indians
wigwam to stay over night.
The old Indian gave him meat
and divided his rugs for him to
sleep on. Afterwards the Indian
went to the white mans house and
the white man told him, "begone,
you Indian dog:''
That would be about the way if
this country was allotted. 1t
would be "begone, you Indian
dog"
Now, | will try to give sketch
of my views for a settlement of
this trouble with our people. The
Dawes commission will soon make
a final roll of citizens here.
Then we will know who will
have right to hold land here.
Then let the citizens offer a me.
mortal or pray the government to
let our land remain in common
as we have always had it and make
law to break down this land mo-
nopoly not allowing any citizen to
occupy more than 120 acres to
each one of his family. If a citi-
zen has more than 100 acres to
each of mis- family make him pay
a tax on it but not let it prohibit
another citizen from taking
homestead on it if be wishes to do |
so. Reserve all mineral lands un-
occupied up to the time of survey. |
Let our council with the approx
al of the interior department fix a
royalty on all minerals and let it
go to the benefit CT the citizens of
the Cherokee nation. But all
lands occupied prior to the survey
should there be mineral found on
It let the citizen have the prefer.
snee to lease If not, any COM
pany wishing to prospect or mine
t let them make bond and Sc
,urity for all damages.
Allow the citizen certain per
cent of the royalty OF all the min

By doing this we are protected in

light concerning the cleaning OF white
kid gloves. She states that she has tried

Thirteen isn't lucky number, but, On the

FASHION FAVORS
VELVET GOWNS.
Tailor Styles Are Proper for
Morning Wear.
vELYETEEN ALSO IN VOGUE.
Every Type of Woman Can Wear n
Becoming Hat, So Varied and Ar
tistIc Are the shapes-Revival of
the Poke of the Last Century.

Velvet gowns are very chic this sea-
son, and are worn for all occasions.
This is not saying that cloth costumes
have gone out of fashion, although one
might think so to judge by the num-
Der Of the velvet ones that are made
up. For morning wear the styles are
much simpler than for the afternoon
in fact, they copy closely after the
cloth. They are in the simple tailor
styles for street wear in the morning
and the elaborately trimmed and light
colored velvets for the afternoon.
Black velvet is exceedingly popular,
but the different shades of brown are
also considered desirable, and gray in
all shades is still in demand. There
are also costumes made in blue green,
a sapphire blue, and dark hunters s
green, but one sees many more black
than anything else.
These same models are used for vel
veteen, which is as fashionable this
year as velvet and is manufactured of
most beautiful quality and texture, so
tat it is almost impossible to tell it
from the velvet.
AS rule, velveteen and velget gowns
are worn only in the street, but there
are some few models made up for the
house. These, however, are as rule
of velveteen The velvet is for dinner
dress only, and then trimmed with
point lace, as usual, or with some en-
broidery done on the velvet itself.
Fashions in millinery are unusually
smart this season, and, as there is such
a variety of shapes to choose from, it
would be quite inexcusable for q wo-
man to appear in an unbecoming hat.
There are shapes suitable to be worn
with hair high or low, and. while fiat
hats are the newest, there is no law
against wearing high trimmings if they
are more becoming.
Velvet cloth, tulle. net, and felt are
all used in hats, and it is quite as fash
ionable TO wear colors as to wear black
The ree-cornered hat is a favorite
shape, but there are many modifica-

Of its being too popular. Hats worn
over the face are all the style, but
there are just as many now worn off
the face to show the hair low on the
forehead. There are one or two shapes

OF vast extremes in the matter of feet.
When the hour comes for the wool sandal
to give way to the demands of dress she
can shoehorn herself into tight boots as

Wise Miss Mary

There is young saleswoman in one of
the departme stores of this city who
attributes Ter large following of custom
to the fact that, besides being obliging
and amenable, as far as possible, to the
whims of the hundreds of shoppers who
deal with her during the day, she has
enlightened herself as to the quantity of
ribbon needed for various styles of bows:
how many yards OF material 1t takes to
make a skirt, and hundred other odd
bits of feminine knowledge that help out
a woman who does not know those things
for herself.
There are many women who work 50
hard at their business callings that they
have no time to keep track of the STYLES
that the average feminine has at her
fingers ends. and the saleswoman who
can help them out when the fit, or the
necessity. takes them shopping, can rely
ON their constant trade.
To be necessary to SO many people
means steady work and good pay to the
young woman who has her living to make
behind the counter, and though Miss
Mary" has nothing to do with either rib
bons or dry goods. she finds that her
knowledge pays.
