UNCLE JACK" AN INDIAN, MAY
LIVE.
Celebrates 18th Birthday With His
15J Descendants at
Cookson, |. T.

Caokson, |. T.. Oct. 6.-One hun
dred and atty OF the defendants of j.
Cookson, of Cookson, familiarly and
lovingly called Uncle Jack by every
one met at his residence near this
place yesterday for the purpose OF
celebrating his one hundred and eight
eenth birthday. Lacking only two
years of the age of Moses, when he as
cended the mountains of NebO to gaze
upon the Promised Land, like that
great lawgiver, his eyes are not dim,
neither is mis- natural strength abated.
He is the ideal OF the aboriginal un.
contaminated by latterday views.
Born ana grown up to manhood at a
period long anterior to the advent of
missionaries among his people, he
still seeks protection and guidance
from the great spirit adored by his
ancestors He locks forward to an
eternity of happiness in the hunting
ground. where verdant mead is in
terspersed with virgin forest and the
buffalo, bear. deer elk are to be found
in plenty. He is happy and content
in his religious views, and possesses
the simple, unquestioning faith as of
a child.
His early life was filled with adven-
ture When a young man he swan
the Talapoosa. at Horseshoe Bend,
and thus rendered possible Jackson's
capture of that stronghold of the
Creeks. After removal to this terri
tory. he fought the Usage on the plains
of Cooweescoowee the fierce Com
anches, on the banks of the Arkansas,
and assisted the latter at the later
period in annihilating the canibal
TonkaWas.
His descendants are prominent in

tor E. L. Cookson, is mentioned in
connection with the next chieftainship

SOME SENSATIONS
Promised When the County Conn
misiiOnerS Make Their Report.

Relative TO certain criticisms Of the
commissioners, one of them handed
the Graphic the following with re-
quest to publish:
The commissioners of accounts d.
not feel called upon to make any re-
ply to the inspired attack made upon
them in the Commercial OF last Sat
urday. It merely shows that the work
being done by the commissioners is
bearing fruit. They will make theil
report in a few days and let the tax
payers Of Jefferson county be the
Judges of their work. The object of
the attack is evidently an attempt to
iniimidate the commissioners from
stating facts as they find them.

In my Judgment the only thing that
couId be accomplished by called ses~
sion OF congress to deal with the coal

III antitrust law s.. as to make it
more effective. \ national arbitra-

EXTRA SESSION URGED
Six Thousand Iilinoisans Petition
the President.

Chicago, oct. 6.-SiX thousand Hi.
nois citizens during the last twenty
f2slr hours have sngned petition
asking President Roosevelt to call an
extra session of congress to enact
some measure for the prevention of
coal famine. One method suggested
in the petition is provision for the ap-
pOintment OF a temporary receiver to
operate the Pennsylvania mines which
are closed on account of the strike.
The petition is being circulated all
over the city of Chicago and through
out the state of Illinois under the di-
rection of United States Senator Will
lam f. Mason.
There are numerous instances
where temporary receivers have been
appointed for the management IF pub
lie utilities, said Senator Mason,
and which affords ample precedent
for such an action in the present
emergency. Railroads have been thus
treated by the courts upon the peti-
ton of the people, as can be shown by
the records. | have in mind, too, a
case where a dispute between a muni-
cipal and waterworks company
which threatened to deprive the peo-
pie of a water supply. resulted in the
trouble was settled.

For several days there have been
whisperings that here would be some
very warm sensations sprung when
the Jefferson county commissioners OF
accounts made their report. The
Graphic has been informed as to the
heard mentioned the names OF those
who will be involved in them, but as
the charges that it IS alleged will be
made by the commissioners are of SO
serious nature the Graphic will not
make them public before the commits
sioners have done so in an Official
way. which,, it is said, will be done
within a few days.

MUST BE UNION MAN
If You Are Sweetheart Of Chicago
Girls

Chicago. Oct. 6.-Their loyalty to
the cause of uniem labor has made
score of young women who are band
ed together in the organization known
as the Union League Club, the en-
Wed of their companions.
A week ago the girls belonging to
the club announced to the world that
thereafter they would have. nothing
to do with young men whc. did not
carry union cards in their pockets.
At the time they were compelled to
put up with the jests and jeers OF
their girl companions. Now it is their
time to laugh for it is doubtful Wheth-
@" there are any young women in the
country who have a larger number Of
men from whom to choose their future
husbands.
Frcsn the time that the announce
ment Of the girls intentions was
made until today they have been be
sieged with offers of marriage. Pink,
blue and green enveloped letters have
accumulated at their headquarters,
No. 155 Washington street, from men
who are willing aud eager to comply
with the conditions which the girls
announced they woupld impose upon
all suitors
"You&are the girls for US, is what
the letters declare. They came from
all parts of the country-frcm Maine
to California-and all are signed by
men who declare that they will marry
no woman whc. is not ready to take
the same pledge that the girls have
volunteered
The result has been tremendous
