CULPEPPER MEETINGS
Have Awakened a Deep lnferest
Throughout Ninlta.

Have you heard Culpepper 7?
This question can be heard asked
and answered along the street, in
stores and Offices, wherever one
goes and at all hours. Vinita peo-
pie are practical. and not given
much to the spectacular, but love
a good sermon and have lots of re-
spect for plain. consistent religion.
Men, after all, like to be talked to
about their souls, and will give
ear to- the man who presents re
ligious truths
A fair, though not an overly
crowded congregation attended the
services last night. A Amnre atten-
tive audience would be hard to
find and the interest deepened as
the speaker proceeded. The
theme of last nights discourse
was from the second chapter Of
Exodus and second verse: "What
is that 10 thine hand" Dealing
with the difficulties that beset
Moses when he was sent to deliv-
er the children of Israel from
egyptian bondage. A stirring ap-
peal to the Christian people OF
vinita TO engage in personal work
for the salvation OF the lost.
The sermon today at 10:30 was
considered by many the best one
yet delivered. The congregation
a, this mornings service was com
posed largely OF ladies, but with a
considerable sprinkling of busi
ness and professional men. The
interest in ihe meetings is increas-
ing with each service. Those
who want to be sure of good seat
at the evening service should 60
early. The hour is 1880 aud will
commence on time.

IMPORTANT CASES.


Special to Daily chieftGin.
Muskogee, |. T., March Is, 1902
The United States commission

most famous cases in the history
of Cherokee citizenship. The first
case was the case OF William H..
and John w. Shoemake We. the
Cherokee nation, and the second
case was that Of F. M. Dawson et
al VS.. the Cherokee nation. The
Shoemake case has about fifty
families and the Dawson cas- r
about sixty, whose rights to citi.
zrnship are being questioned.
They were all admitted by the
Tehee Commission on Citizenship,
composed of Alexander Wolfe,
Thomas Tehee, +. F. Thompson,
and ID. w. G. Duncan, as clerk, as
a commission, and the naiicn is
now trying TO show thst these peo
pie we're admitted by fraud. The
cases will take several days, as
both are importsnt ones.

A More Tactful Man at the Head
of the Interior Department
and His Desires Have
Been Communica-
ted to Hitch
cock.

1t is reported on good authority
In Washington that Secretary
Hitchcock will resign the interior
department portfolio within a
month. There is general dispo.
sition to credit these reports, de-
spite the fact that semi-of
fetal statement made a few days
ago said no further changes in the
cabinet were contemplated Tor
the present. II is known the pres.
idsnt believes change In the
head of the interior department is
desirable for many reasons. and
some of his friends in congress
share this belief, and have not
besitated to let h.m know il. The
president, however, has high
personal regard for Mr.. Hitchcock
who is conscientious, il not a
tactful official, and would not him
self initiate a movement TO bring
about severance of their rela
tions.
The story goes that in the last
few days certain circumstances
have brought 1t home very clearly
to the secretary that, notwith-
standing the apparent good under
standing between himself and the
president, the latter would not re-
gret il If he should decide 10 quit
the cabinet. This discovery was
a great surprise to Mr.. Hitchcock,
il is said, but it is understood he
determined TO act on it, and IL
is expected he will do so on his
return from his home in ST. Louis,
where be bas been called by the
death OF bis brother. SO far as
can be learned, the new secretary
of the interior has not been select
ed by the president.
The fact that ex-senator Vol
colt, of Colorado, came to Wash
ipgton from New York has revived
the story that he will be the man,
but there il good reason to believe
there is nothing in this surmise.
Some of the presidents closest
friends are strongly opposed to
taking the ex-Colorado senator
into the cabinet on both personal
and political grounds, and il is be-
lieved this opposition will be ef-
feotive. Another name mentioned
in connection with the place is
that of Judge Willis vanDevanter,
the assistant attorney general for
the interior department, who is a
Wyoming man, with a thorough
knowledge Of the affairs Of the de-
partment. He is said to possess
marked ability and stands high In
the presidents regard. His ap-
pointment would be very accept
able to western republicans.

INVESTIGATION is ON
JTRIkE ARBITERS HEAR MITCH
ELLIS SIDE OF THE CASE.
CLOSELY CROSS-EXAMINED
Member of Delaware and Hudson
Company Quizzes Miners President
About Actions of indianapolis Con-
Vention-Latter Criticizes Iniunc-
tons and Things in General.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 15.-The COM
mission appointed by President Roose-
welt to arbitrate the differences be-
tween the anthracite minewOrkers and
their employers, yesterday began their
hearing of the miners side Of the case
After the WOrkmen have concluded the
operators will make their defense. 1t
is expected that more than two weeks
will be taken up in hearing both sides.
Attorney Darrow then called for the
regular procedure and Mr. Wolverton
asked that the miners pr sent their
case. The request was. Immediately
carried out and President Mitchell
arose and addressed the commission.
Mitchell prefaced his statement
with the hope that the commission
would succeed in establishing a rela-
tionship between the operators and
miners that will insure peace and sta
bility in the industry for an indefinite
PERIOD After reciting the demands for
increased pay for the miner, shorter
work day for the labOrer, the weighing
of the coal and an industrial agree
to the strike, Mitchell spoke at length
on the wages.
When the commission reassembIed
in the afternoon Mitchell was recalled
to answer a number of questions. He
denied that he favored bOycotting.
MitcheIPs Plan.
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 15.-President
Mitchell submitted the following out
line of plan Of procedure which he
believes would prevent local strikes
and preserve peace and harmony dur
ing the time covered by the award:
First-The rate of wages, the hours
Of labor, the method of weighing and
paying for the product of the miners
work, should be incorporated in an
agreement between the representa-
tives Of the organization of which the
complainarts in this case are mem.
bers.
Second-There should be a commit
tee Of conservative representative
mine workers selected by the en-
ployes at each colliery; it should be
the duty Of this committee to cooper
ate with the mine foremen in the ad-
justment of local disputes which can
not be settled between the mine fore
men and the mine worker or mine
workers involved.
Third-Should the mine foreman and
mine company fail to adjust the griev-
ance complained of, the matter in dis
pute should be referred to the COM
pany's superintendent and a general
grievance committee which should be
constituted of representative mine
workers from each colliery operated
by any one company. Should they fail
to adjust it, it should be referred to
the general manager of the coal COM
pany and the district president of the
miners organization, and should they
fail to adjust it they should call upon
the services of some disinterested
person, whose decision should be final
Pending an adjustment in the manner
set forth, the mines and the miners
should continue at work

The new shades in neckwear for

OF them bright, warm colors. Some
very handsome scarfs with purple
ground and green bars and figures
have been seen. The green is of a
bright golden hue and harmonizes
beautifully with the purple. Rich
reds, some with ''shot silk" effect,
others with red or black figures
worked on, are also handsome.

For cuff links baroque pearls are
also used, as we'll as mother-of-pearl
With an evening dress tie there is
an ingenious little device or clip for
holding the tie down in it's place,
made of gold and having a small
pearl or diamond as an ornamental
head where the clip protrudes above
the tie. The same thing is used for
day dress, the head in this case. being
a black stone.
For riding breeches the newest
shade is olive, the vest being Of such
a color and pattern as to harmonize
with it. A handsome and nobby

has a gray ground with stripes OF

Cloth bands on silk hats are not
being worn to any great extent this

seldom change their style and who
always stick to the cloth band.
