BIG CHIEF
Eioped With q White Girl and His
Squaw L. After HIM.

GUTHRIE, Ok. T., November 10. =
The elopement of Colonel Robert Pan
Their, full-blood Usage Indian chief,
with Belle Lawson, a sixteen-year-old
white girl, has caused sensation in
Pawhuska, and may lead to the murder
of Panther by his squaw, who, heavily
armed, is on the trail of her erring hus-
band. She has several children, the
oldest of whom accompanied her on the
search. The Lawson girl is reported a
reservation beauty, who became enam-
ored with the chiefs record as hunter
and soldier, having served as rough
rider in the recent war with Spain. He
is ugly, and although educated at a
government Indian school, has little
about him to attract. -

Such action would prevent delays in
the reference of the bill, once it was
introduced into the senate, and through
the Home Rule members that partys
amendments would be ready early and
could be acted upon so that the legis-
lature would adjourn within the two
months, with all its work accom-

The question of appointments did
not come up during the caucus, ex-

to members of both elements to It,
there was no consideration of names.

OTHER WAYS THAN OURS.

All coast cities have Chambers o
Commerce, Boards of Trade or Mer
chants Associations, either or all, ant
owe, to their active and unremittine
zeal, much of their progress and means
of wealth.
AS Honolulu is seeking precisely the
same ends as the coast cities, namely
investment capital, tourists, homeseek-
ers and trade, it is interesting to study
the methods by which the other towns
do their work.
In the first place they advertise This
is done principally in two ways, through
railroad literature and through perma-
nent exhibits of products. The rail-
roads are induced TO distribute folders
and make special rates; the exhibit is
kept up to date by men whose bust
ness is to attend it and talk up what
it represents.
Occasionally the town which seeks
accretions of men or money gives a
great local exposition or a fiesta BY
means of these, thousands of people are
broSght in who spend money and get
inters Ss1ssd IN the sights.
TX the sfoaSsler coast cities Chambers
of Commerce, or affiliated bodiesrsee
that no distinguished yfissff6r comes to-
town without being shown official and
private courtesies. Especially is he
gwen chance, which hotel clerks rare
~ afford MIN, to learn all about sights
and accommodations in the neighbor-
hood -
When there is anything to be gained
by national aid, lobbying committees
are sent to Congress. In this way San
Francisco headed off the attempt to
involve it in plague scare, Puget
Sound got its navy yard, Los Angeles
its breakwater and San Diego its jetty.
OF course it all costs money. How is
this money raised? In the first place
the commercial body of the town is
opened to the membership of all de-
sirable citizens, who will pay dollar
per-month dues; in the second place the
local boards of supervisors, the equiva-
lent of our legislature. appropriate
funds for advertising local resources.
which are placed in It's hands. Enough
resources are thus obtained for great
deal of work
An exclusive formal, non-combat-
i've Chamber of Commerce is never or
ganfAed on the coast because the peo-
pie there understand that the business
OF ea...1a...:1g up a town requires precise /
" the same qualities of push, energy,
and aggressive zeal that are In demand |
for the building up of a competitive /
private trade.

NO BARMAIDs
Will Be Allowed in Jersey, If This
Decision Stands.

TRENTON, N. J., November 1O-Jus-
tice Collins, of the supreme Court. rem
dered a decision today against the en-
ployment of barmaids in New Jersey.
The opinion was handed down in the
case of the City of Hoboken vs. Alfred
G. Greiner, saloon proprietor.
The Justice says:
1T is fair police regulation to pro-
hibit any keeper of house of public
entertainment where Intoxicating
drinks are sold from permitting the as
sembling of females there for the pur-
pose of enticing customers
The saloon keepers in Hoboken have
been fighting the city authorities on
the barmaid question for more than a
year. ~

that SO many other subjects need legis-

During all the se~venty-eight years

doses. He didn't get drunk, but took
enough to make him fearless Of small
pox or anything else. And he didn't
take the smallpox, Notwithstanding it

him. But, mort wonderful to relate,
as soon as he began to drink whisky
his voice began to return to him, and
now he can talk and sing as well as
he ever could, which, Mr.. Auge now
thinks, goes to show that even whisky

be better for persons to wait until
they have lost their voices and are in
a funk of fear of smallpox before re-

b LOVED A Row.

Famous Editor Enjoyed "serap" with
Brother Journalists.
Nothing delighted him more than
what he was fond of calling Journal
istic rows" When one of these broke
out between two OF more contempor-
aries, he always followed it with in
tense enjoyment, and sooner or later
fairly itched to take a hand IN it. The
10y of combat" inherent in the Irish
blood, was strong in him, and he knew
he must watch it. Repeatedly, when a
ROW" was one he would write some
thing about It, just by way of trial,
and then take advice, says the Cen
tury. If you said in criticism that in
writing about It he had committed
some of the most fragrant of the Of
fences that he had for years been as
sailing as the leading characteristics
of these rows" he would burst into
a roar Of laughter and say, Well, /
am afraid that is so, but / really
should like to show what a pair of
humbugs they are" But he would de-
stroy his copy" nevertheless. Never
was his enjoyment of a ROW" keener
than when he himself was the object
of attack, as was very often the case.
He would read all the hard things
said to him in n paper after anoth-
err. fairly shaking with pleasure, and
then a y "Wha a delightful lot they
arel We must stir them up again. -
If the able editors who thought they
were making him miserable with their
'scathing" attacks upon him as
Larry" Godkin could have seen him
under these conditions, they would
have been greatly astonished.
