The most important case touching
citizenship matters that has even been
to trial has been disposed of by the
citizenship court. The court con-
vened in South McAlester on the first
day of December to sit in judgment on
two important law points, viz: %
Was II necessary that the governors
of both the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations should have been served with
notice of application of Dawes com
mission under act of 1896? (2)Had
the courts to which appeals were TAX
en- from the Dawes commission the
right to hear additional evidence and
try citizenship cases appealed de
noyo? A vast amount of money was
involved and the finest legal talent
of the Southwest was before the court.
Yesterday, seventeen days after the
court convened its decision was
handed down sustaining the nations
contentious in both questions and to-
day there exists no such person as a
court citizen. Every judgment hereto
fore rendered by the United States
judges recognizing and establishing
citizenship of what is known as the
court claimant" is cancelled Thous.
ands OF people who have enjoyed the
rights OF Indian citizenship have been
relieved OF those rights But II does
not follow, necessarily, that their
names shall never again be given their
places on the Indian roll. Within 80
days from December II they have a
right to take appeals to this citizen,
ship court and have their individual
cases tried on their own merits. The
court makes its own rules and II re
quires a $500 bond in each suit TO GOV
er costs. The prediction made by
leading attorneys when the CITIZENSHIP
court was created that from so TO 81
per cent OF the court claimants would
finally be stricken permanently from
the rolls Is still indulged in Comm,
as II does at the beginning of a new
lease year a severe blow TO the agri
cultural interests of the country is in
evitable.

The wide range covered by the plot
of the new Russo-S Siberian play, For
Her Sake" which is to be seen at
Kloski's opera house Saturday, De-
cember 20, ought to furnish exception
al opportunity for scenical effect, and
1t is sad that the Carpenter company
who produced the piece. did not fail
to profit by their chance. The com
pany. II is stated, carries a carload of
special scenery, all Of which was
painted by artists who made a study
of the scenes which it was aimed to
reproduce. The piece is in four acts.
The last act depicts the sulphur mines
in Kara. Siberia, with the accompani-
ment OF some thrilling dramatic ac-
tion. The company is an exceptional
ly large one, even for the spectacular
sort of play Of which For Her Sake"
is one Of the notable examples.

What the tide does I'm the ocean OF
water storms do In the ocean of air
deleterious and poisonous germs are
removed or killed. The noticeable
smell of ozone after a thunderstorm
and the increased bodily comfort are
well known. storms, in the main, are
due TO the action OF our atmosphere In
resisting the escape of the radiant
heat Even at the equator great cold
exists at the trflng height of four
miles above sea level, which is reduced
TO three during the night One week
of continued night in the tropics would
lock them in the grip Of eternal frost
and put an end to all life. Now and
again the upper fluid Is puncturcd. so
to speak, and through the breach so
caused n downward rush with rotary
movement is made till equilibrium is
again restored. Storms, therefore, are
essentially bcneflcent, both to health
and life. They reshape for use the
necessary life giving air and warmth
as earthquakes do the crust of the
earth

Will We Never Forget?

Some of our ablest scholars be-
lieve that memory will live for
ever, says the Rams Horn. In
view of this the words from Rus
sell II. Conwell are of peculiar
value. He says: 'The Human
mind really forgets nothing. The
evidence of this is shown by that
great psychologist in Germany,
who states that ignorant people
who know nothing of foreign
language, yet after hearing it
once will, in times of sickness, re-
peat in detail the conversation
which they have heard. The old
illustration may be recalled OF
of that servant girl who heard
that Hebrew while she was sweep
ing the room; years after that
she was taken i'll, and in the
midst of delirium, she recited that
verse of Hebrew. This shows, as
thousands of other illustrations
do, that the mind retains every.
thing, every item, every idle
word, every idle thought.
sit was well established that q
man. in his sleep recited what he
could not in anywise recall while
he was awake.
