the new time card published in
another column of the Chieftain
took effect on the entire Frisco
system. The Frisco, with the
opening of the new line, now has
two entirely separate tracks to
Texas and has become a danger
Gus factor in the grea. shipping
resources OF the Lone Star state.
By the new service Vinita re-
ceives an additional east aud west
bound train and is put in very
close communication with all east.
ern and southwestern points.
With this additional service six
teen passenger trains on the two
roads run cut of Vinita each day,
which is suggestive commentary
on the gr wing importance of the
town.

RIVER TRAFFIC
To be Attempted Again on the Ar
kansas.

The steam barge, "Kittie Clyde"
which was purchased by c. K.
Turner and Ernest Cook. of Mus
kogee, to carry freight between
Fort Gibson and Choska, has ar
rived at Fort Smith from Cairo,
Ill.
The vessel was over nine months
en- route.
The arrival of the boat has oc-
casioned q great deal of discussion
among the river men, many con-
tending that it can be run only
about two weeks during the year.
The barge is in command of
Capt. w. F. Cotton, who years
ago run a boat between Fort
Gibson and Little Rock, and who
is confident that the present ven-
ture will be a success.

TWO NEW 7 TRAINS
Arrive in Vinita on Time After
Cutting Several Hours From
Old Schedule 10 Eastern
and Southwestern
Points.

At exactly 1898 this morning
the Worlds Fair Special" which
had been speeding from Texas on
its initial run, came 10 a stop at
the Frisco station.
AT 1:27 a. N. the "Meteor" the
new west bound time annihilator
came rushing in from the east on
time to the minute, and the new
fast train service on the Frisco
system, had become a definite
factor in Vinita's communication
with eastern and western points.
The new service was inaugurated
with interesting ceremonies at
both ends Of the great system.
Prominent officials of the road
and large assemblage Of people
were present, when the throttles
responded to the touch Of the en-
gineers and the ponderous wheels
that were destined to cut hours
from the old running time rapidly
gathered speed and were soon
rushing over the rails in their race
against time.

We understand that one Of our
young ladies will soon
depart for California where she
will assume a half interest in q
farm.
Three new dwellings, are being
erected in town-the rumors of
the Galatia & Elsewhere r. z. do
not seem to discourage our citi-
zens to any considerable extent.
A rumor was current last Tues
day that the bank had been
robbed but when the excitement
died away it developed that the
cashier had only. been touched
for his watch.
Two of our leading business
men got in mix-up Sunday
night: however the surrounding

damage. Since the banker and
druggist have been laid up for

prohibited boxing and the local
sports have taken to playing

noticeable was the Albert Wind
Brigade who, together with their
vociferous explosions and the as
sistance of q slight breeze from
the south, kept the atmosphere
in rapid circulation; however,
Immediately after thegame, they
made themselves conspicuous by
their absence. The Heller boys |
are q gentlemanly lot of players
and will always be granted a |
hearty welcome by The City on
