OPPONENTS DRIVEN TO The LAST DITCH
In Their Fight Against the Treaty Rest Their Hopes Of
Success Tomorrow on Base Misrepresentation and
Doodle.

break their grip. The only other
strength of the opposition is found
among those whose minds are
clouded by prejudice, and who
have grossly misreT resented every
provision of the treaty to the lgno-
rant element.
BUNCH or CAMPAIGN LIES.
Driven into the last ditch, these
opponents rest their hopes on their
own base misrepresentation and
the Doodle fund OF the oil compa-
nies. They tell the ignorant citi-
zen that the tr-aty favors the oil
companies, when they know that
il would drive them from the Ma
tion.
They repeat the lie which has
been nailed a score of times that
the treaty grants every alternate
section to the railroads.
They hold out hopes of another
treaty, when they know that if the
pending measure is defeated the
Curtis Act will be enforced, and
surface allotment is all the Chero-
kee will ever get.
These lies are an insult to the
intelligence of every Cherokee citi-
zen, and will be resented at the
polls tomorrow. A vote for the
treaty is vote against the oil pi.
rates.
A vote for the treaty is vote to
protect the widows and children
of all Cherokees.
A vote for the treaty is a vote
for title to every Cherokee home.
No base lies are so deceptive, no
corruption fund is great en- ough to
lead the Cherokee people into vot-
ing against a measure which is the
very salvation OF themselves and
their families.

shadow of the homes of Cherokees

CHOICE OF THE TWO MEASURES.
No Cherokee can escape select
ing one or the other OF these alter
natives. Unless the treaty is rati-
fed the Curtis Act, with all OF its
damnable provisions, wiz be at
once enforced.
No other treaty will be ,consid-
cred by the government. Title
can only be obtained under the
treaty, the Curtis Act giving but a
right of occupany to the surface
land.
Protection to the Cherokee wild
ows and children can only be OBJ
tanned under the treaty; the Curtis
Act recognizes no law oil Descent
and all lands revert at death to the
Nation.
The oil pirates can only be driv-
en- from the Nation by the treaty,
the Curtis Act authorizes them to
loot, and every lease has been
granted under its provisions.
OPPONENTS OF THE TREATY.
The only opponents of the treaty
who are consistent in their oppo-
sition are the oil companies and
excessive land holders. Both have
long been reaping rich harvests at
the expense of the Cherokee peo-
pie.
They do not want to surrender
this graft, and are now distribut-
ing a corruption fund in an attempt
10 defeat the measure which would

A Queer Kind of Amusement ON R
Pacific Ocean Island.

A Queer Kind of Amusement ON On
Pacific Ocean Island.
Writing on "Our Equatorial Islands"
in the Century, James D. Hague says:
1t became an amusing diversion to
overturn the large fiat stones beneath
which the rats were hiding In solid
masses and watch them as they scam
pered In all directions, pursued and
quickly snatched up by the man-o'-war
hawks. These crafty birds were apt to
learn that the appearance of a man
walking on the island, especially with
a dog, meant rats for them. and any
one thus going forth was usually fol-
lowed by lowering flock, ready and
impatient for the sport they had
learned to expect. A rat brought to
hand by the dog was quickly tossed in
air, where the birds were ready to
snatch it, sometimes with contest on
the wing for the disputed possession.
One form of this sport, a sort of aerial
polo, which seemed to be as good fun
for the birds as for the observers. con-
sisted in tossing two rats into the air
at the same moment, not singly and
apart, but tied together with about
six feet of strong twine.
Instantly the birds made a dash for
the rats, and the successful winner of
the first prize went sailing off with
one rat in his bill and the other swing
ing in the air beneath until snatched
by the second winner, when, after a
quick, sharp struggle and taut strain
on the cord, the bird with the weaker
hold was compelled to let go. This
then went on as q continuous perform
ance with somewhat Jonah-like but
rapidly repeated disappearances and
reappearances Of the little rats, swal-
lowed and reluctantly disgorged by
the birds In quick succession until the
flock, thoroughly exhausted by their
impetuous flight and extraordinary
exercise, alighted on the ground for q
short truce, when the two temporary
shareholders would be found sitting
face to face, keenly eying each other
from opposite ends Of the string still
connecting them, each anXiously on
the sharp lookout for sudden jerks and
unpleasant surprises, while all the 9th
er pursuers gathered around In ring,
waiting for the two prize birds to fly.
The general aspect of all participants
seemed to verify the familiar adage
that the pleasure is not in the game,
but in the chase.

SCIENCE SIFTlNGS.

While volcanic eruptiOns are usually
restricted in area, earthquakes are not.
If all the mountains in the world
were leveled, the average height Of
the land would rise nearly $50 feet.
The face Of Jupiter presents Il con-
siderable number Of markings, notably
one great scarlet patch covering nearly
100000 square miles.
The amount of heat produced by an
average man in days work would be
sufficient to raise siXty-three pounds of
water from freezing to boiling point.
Cirrus clouds We're once observed at
n height of 1880 feet. This Is by far
the greatest height at which cloud
vapor has ever been noted above the
surface of the earth.
Experiments made while In Il balloon
show that when height Of $4,000
feet has been reached the number Of
corpuscles In the human blood have In
creased by one-third.
The atmospheric pressure upon the
surface of an ordinary man is 80, 400
pounds, or over fourteen and n half
tons. The ordinary rise and fall OF the
barometer increases or decreases this
pressure by $500 pounds.

Marjory's FrOyisO.

Baby Marjory has been having her
first experience of rural sights and
sounds, of green things growing, of
flowers hiding in the grass, of cows in
the pasture, Of horses in the stable.
She was delighted with all but one Of
them, says a writer in the Philadelphia
Telegraph.
The one exception was the big, surly
dog that keeps watch and ward over
the farm She respected Hector in
his own place, but that place is at a
distance. She did not want him or his
kind to approach near enough for in
innate acquaintance.
Having been invited by a lady Of
the house to take n walk down to
the village, Marjory hesitated little.
"Why, Marjory," exclaimed the lady,
in an injured tone of voice, don't you

In the village of Norto st. Philip is
the George Inn. 1t claims to be the
Oldest licensed village alehouse in Eng
land, the license dating from 1897! Its
appearance is eminently picturesque,
each story overhanging that beneath,
while the front IS broken by bay win
dows, a porch and flight Of stone
steps leading to a doorway in the wall.
At the back are more quaint doors and
windows, a turret built against the
wall and inclosing an outside stair,
while in the yard still remains n pOr-
ton of the old gallery which in the
middle ages was found in SO many
hostelries. Most of the front is tim
bered. Each gable is surmounted by n
curious chimney. \ curious feature Of
the interior is the upper floor, which is
of plaster.

Washington. July 3.-Solieitor Pet
field of the state department, who was
criticised in the senate by Senator
Bailey, of Texas, last Monday, gave
out a red-hot and Incorporate state
ment alleging to give a history of the
Reilenberg- Scott ease.
He says that Baiiey's charge that 4
refused to furnish an Office copy OF q
contract inelosed in one of Gen. Clay
tons dispatches. is in it's substance
and spirit untrue. and he knew it per-
fectly We'll when he made the charge
in the senate, for he had a letter in
his possession written BY Secretary
Hay, on April ID"
Solicitor Penfeld closes his state
ment by saying: Senator Bailey is
one og those men who so hunting trou-
bic; ard this is simply one of the
spasmodic displays of asininity il
which he INDUCES at regular periods y
Penfleld's statement is generally re
garded here as one of extremely bad
taste and is liable to provoke serious
trouble between him and Senator Bail
ey. The senator is away from Wash
ington at present and no statement
could be obtained from him. His
friends are very indignant over Pen
fields utterances and fear that they
will have difficult time in keeping
Bailey away from the office of the
solicitor when he returns to Washing
ton. What course the Texas senator
will pursue now that the matter has
reached such an acute stage, none OF
his friends seem to know At the least
however, it is likely that Penfield's
dismissal will be demanded In view
