of the book makers art and Mr.. Nc
Farland would not part with them at
any price.
There is still another room devoted to
books in the Mcfarland home In this
are the reference books and works on
philosophy. This is the work room. Mr..
Mcfarland is a delightful writer, and
voted more tine to his own productions
but he is still a young man and perhaps
some day there will be something from
his pen to give him the place in htera-
ture to which he is entitled.
Many of the books n the Mcfarland
library have been imported and their
owner is continually on the search for
new and rare publications. Chicago
firm has secured most of the books on
travel which have been imported from
London.
There are no books in this magnificent
collection in foreign languages Mr. Nc
Farland will buy nothing but books
printed in the English language. He
argues that an American library should
be in the prevailing language of the
country.

splendid library which will show with

valuable paper which visits our home
every week. We left Leon Sept 5, and
shipped to Hitchcock. Got through all
right and went to the farm 10! miles,
and found everything all right, the,
granary with plenty of wheat and oats,
fine tract of kaffir corn, and 10 acres of
common corn. There has been plenty
of rain here this fall and wheat looks
nice. | have 80 acres of wheat which is
fine. My horses and COWS are running
on it and getting fatter every day, and

My COWS give twice the milk they did
when we came here. Have good we'll

tell you. A house and orchard, fine

Mr.. Editor suppose you have often

Gods fault. The Lord has said that
there should be seed time and harvest

Muskogee, /. T., Oct. 9.-The
Commission to the Five Civilized
Tribes has made an order that all
intermarried citizens Of the Chero-
kee Nation must appear before the
com mission before October 81,
1902, and show cause why they
should be enrolled as citizens OF
the Cherokee Nation. No affida-
Wits will be accepted, and the sp-
plicant must appear in person, ex-
cept that the husband may appear
for the wife, and vice versa.
The applicants are required to
relate their family history and tell
about former marriages and d.
vorces; and II they were either pre-
viously married they must show
that they were free TO contract the
marriage with citizen OF the
Cherokee Nation in order to &C.
quire by such marriage the rights
of a citizen, by intermarriage, OF
the Cherokee Nation.
There are about two thousand
intermarried whites on the regu-
lar Cherokee roll, and about one
thousand on the doubtful and re-
jected cards. These people are
fiocking to Muskogee by droves,
and the Cherokee enrolment d.
vision is taxed to its full capacity
to keep up with the work.
Eighty-four intermarried whites

AT TER SEARCHING
For Months for His Wife who Was
In the Great Flood L. W.
Bryan Of South McAlester
Remarked. His Wife
Has Been Found
in Sanitsrium.

A story replete with pathetic in
terest comes as an echo from the
great Galveston food, and affects
two OF the most prominent families
in South McAlester. After mourn
ing his wife who was thought to
have perished in the food for
nearly two years, L. w. Bryan Of
South McAlester, one of the most
widely known residents Of the ter
ritory remarked.
He has just received word that
his first wife is alive in Fort
Worth Sanitarium.
At the time of the terrible dis
aster at Galveston. Tex, his wife
and daughter were visiting in that
city. People in the same building
who escaped before the food be
came dangerous, reported that
Mrs. Bryan and the daughter were
in the building when the great
rush of water came and that there
could be little doubt that they
were drowned.
Mr.. Bryan 10 reported to have
spent s5. 900 in the search for his
wife and daughter, but nothing
could be learned of them.
After months had elapsed and
nothing had been heard of the
wife and daughter, Mr.. Bryan
married Miss Sadie Jones of South
McAiester.
Sunday Mr.. Bryan received a
telegram from Fort Worth, Tex.
stating that his long lost wife who
was supposed to have been drown
ed at Galveston, was in Fort
! Worth.
Investigation revealed that Mrs.
Bryan had been picked up by the
militia, which was on duty at Sal
weston following the flood, in Il
atate of what seemed to be hope
less insanity, and was taken to a
sanitarium at Fort Worth. She
could tell absolutely nothing about
herself or her past, aud there was
no means OF Identification on her
person.
/ A photograph was sent to the
authorities far and wide, but no
tidlngs as to her identity ever
came. The conclusion was reached
that her relatives had all met
+, death in the same food in which
she lost her mind.
Last Sunday she regained her
memory, told who she was and
gave the address OF her husband.
He was Immediately informed Of
the Whereabouts of his wife.
Investigation on his part re-
vealed that the woman was in
deed his fret wife.
The sad story was contained In
letter to Kansas City friend OF
the family.
