The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1902-03-27

With the possible exception Of Gen.
trail Australia. the least known land
on earth IS the great peninsula Of Kam-
chatka, whose 100000 square miles
have less than 1000 people. Down its
center runs a chain Of very high noun
tains, some Of them being volcanoes
from whose mouths come smoke and
cinders: the others are covered by a
very thick growth Of trees up TO a
height Of 1000 OF 5000 feet. Above the
tree live a sort Of ibex. or mountain
sheep. which are larger and stronger
than any that exist elsewhere The
people of Kamchatka have bits Of
the skin Of a few Of these creatures
and some Of their large horns. but no
European has as yet killed one.-Cin-

THUS DID BE WIN.
An Tp-f0-Date Romance Of the Foot
ball Field That Comes Ont
All Right

This is a tale, vouched for By more
rhan one person. although for OBJ
gious reasons the names of the hero.
the heroine and the grim and hard
headed rich old papa have been neces-
sarily left out, says the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph. a certain promi-
uent member of Frankfort athletic
association, along with other young
men of the town, was enamored OF
the lovely daughter of one of Frank
ford's wealthy business men.
Now. this young man is not par
ticularIy burdened with this worlds
goods, and among the other suitors
were men of considerably more
wealth. Yet the young woman, with
the perversity of her sex, favored
him more than the rest. Perhaps il
was his winning ways or his manly,
athletic proportions. At any rate, she
gave him to understand that, so far
as she was concerned, riches would
not stand in the way of their union.
Now, the parent is an enthusiast of
the game. He knew the young man,
was aware that he was a football
player of no mean stripe, and when
he asked for his daughters hand, in
timating delicately that it was for
love alone he sought her, the old
gentleman listened patiently to his
story. Then, much 10 the suitor's
surprise, he answered him thus: go
and score a couple of goals for our
team; then come and see me again."
Highly elated, the young player
bided his time. At last came the
golden opportunity. One Saturday
afternoon several weeks ago his team
was up against a powerful rival.
Conspicuous among his fellow play
ers was the young man. He was a
tower of strength to his team, and
before the game was over. in blaze
of glory, amid the plaudits of his
friends, who were little aware of the
stake for which he was really play
ing, he skirted the ends for two
touchdowns, kicking a goal. He could
hardly wait to doff his uniform be-
fore he was at the home of his de-
sired one. Succeeding in gaining an
interview without delay, he right
speedily did make the father ac-
quainted with the result of the game,
not forgetting 10 remind him of his
promise.
sand now" said the father, tell
me in what respect you differ from
your rivals in seeking my daughters
hand?"
"That is easily explained" said the
football player. without a moments
hesitation. "They loved for gold
while i goaled for love"
So pleased was the magnate with
the young mans ready answer and
his earnestness that he gave his con-
sent then and there. Thus did the
football player, by his wit and good
playing, win his bride and incidentally
a fortune of about $4,000 or so.

Shawnee,O. T., June 1.-The Quill prints
the following:
For the past three or four DAYS a rumor
of boodling by certain members Of the
Shawnee city council has been current
in connection with the granting Of the
sewer franchise, an ordinance for which
was framed and passed, and under which
the present sewer system is being con-
structed. At the time Of this action Of
the councS no suspicion Of wrong-doing
was thought of or suggested, but later
when a gas franchise was zsked for by
capitalists here. some memebrs of the
council saw fit 10 give the matter such
investigation as they saw it required, and
at the meeting when the gas people ex-
pected thar their franchise would be
granted, the further consideration of the
matter was postponed for two weeks
This action OF the council was neither
publicly nor privately commented upon
adversely, but some time in the interval
between then and now one of the gas
franchise promoters is reported to have
met one Of the "belliserent' councilmen
on the street, with the remark that Ger
tain counciiFnen were perhaps looking for
something Ike what was given to certain
other members for granting the new
sewer franchise. which something" the
gas franchise man stated, il is said. was
q fact that certain members who mad
been instrumental in granting the old
sewer franchise held stock which they de-
usanded be paid for by the new company
before the second franchise would be
granted
II is further stated that the councilman
