snow covered cabins OF the hills.
No commentary is necessary on
the great heart Of Vinila, which
has responded so nobIy to the call
for aid which has come from the
stricken country of the hills.
Words dedicated to the heroic
sacrifices Of those gentle women,
who have surrendered comfort

carry relief TO those lowly Indians,
were inappropriate. The reward
Of mercy comes from a higher
source; no human commendation
is necessary.

CHIEFS MESSAGE
Indicates Government viii
Approve Appropriation
for Relief of Full
bIoods.
AMOUNT REQUESTED
Is Thought to be $4,000 Which
Will be Diverted From the
Royalty Receipts Now in
the Sub Treasury at
ST. Louis.
AMOUNT REQUESTED

The call Issued by Chief Bun-
ington through Executive Secretary
]. I. Parks, for the national ooun.
cllito convene 10 extra session
March 4th, as published exclusive
ly in Tuesdays Daily Chieftain,
indicates that the government has
assured it's approval OF the pro.
posed appropriation for the relief
Of the suffering iullbloods.
Before his departure for Wash.
logton Chief Bufiiugton stated that
ne would request that an apprcp.
ration for relief measures of at
leat $40 600 be allowed, the money
TO be diverted from the royalty re-
ceipts, which approximate t25,
600, and which are en- deposit to
the credit Of the nation in the sub.
treasury at 81 Louis.
II is thought from the chiefs
message, that an appropriation Of
that amount will be made.
The necessary delay, incident o
the oonvening Of the council, will
necessitate a continusnce OF the re.
liei work, undertaken by the sew.
-ral committees for several weeks
more.
The question OF the most feasi-
BILE plan TO follow in the distribu.
tion Of the appropriation, is caus.
ing widespread discussion.
There is a strong opposition to
paying out any money direct TO
the Indians.
The establishment Of food de.
pots and the issuance Of rations
seems to be the most generally
favored plan.
As no information, in regard to
the matter, save that contained in
the brief dispatch Of the chiefs
Tuesday, has been received, his
arrival rom Washington will De
awaited with interest by those in
terested in the destitute sufferers.

NAUGHTY GREEKS

Confined in rIuskogec Jail.

A band Of thirty two Snake In

dances near Hsurystla were cor
rallied by Deputy U s. Marsbal

day, and will be given an oppor-
iunity 10 continue their fantastic
performance In the Mnskogee Jail.

that their health would be injured
by the present inclsment weather,
the authorities decided to provide
cover for them, 10 the Muikogee

They will probably be retained
there until they lose some Of their
exuberance, which at times sends
them chasing themselves around
the old council grounds, and drives
the eastern press into all the i'm

How che late Celebrated Dr.. Von
siemena Got the Better Of
the Perafnns.

Not only the great Deutsche bank,
but also the whole of Germany has
lost in the late DR.. Won Sicmens one
Of the most prominent and capable
financiers and business men Of mod
ern times, writes a Berlin correspon-
dent of the London Sketch. DR..
Siemens, who was made a "vonn by
the emperor in $780, died comparative
" young, shortly after the compile
tion Of his sixty-second year. As is
natural, many anecdotes are told of
this versatile and indefatigable celeb
rity. I will give one which apper-
tains TO his activity in diplomatic
circles. In 1865 he was persuaded BY
his cousin, Werner Siemcns. TO un.
dertake a mission TO Persia, partly Of
business and partly Of a diplomatic
nature. OF course, II was necessary
for him to be received in audience by
the royal house at Teheran. Ia 40
cordance, too, with the customs OF
the country, IL behooved the German
bank magnate TO enter the audience
chamber without shoes. This. how.
ever, he firmly and persistentIy re.
fused TO do, despite the remon-
strances and entreaties OF his advis.
ers. Finally, he succeeded in having
the fateful day of the audience post.
poned TO a distant date. Meanwhile,
he telegraphed home TO Germany in
hot haste for his uniform, for he was
an officer of the reserve.
In due time the uniform arrived
Then he begged for the promised
audience. In this case, he appeared
dressed as an officer Of the German
reserve. On the viziers demanding
that he should remove his boots he
replied with great dignity. that no
German officer was allowed 70 appear
before any sovereign in the world
dressed otherwise than as he would
be in the presence OF his own sover.

mems was admitted with all ceremony
and was granted the audience re.
CURED. As a further proof Of his in.
dependence, he coolly sat down on a
ehair after the actual ceremony was
over, thus filling the uneasy hearts oI
en- the court with dismay and aston.
ishment. The prince, however. 70
whom he had been speaking, passed
the breach of etiquette over with an
indulgent smile, and DIR. Won Siemens
went his way perfectly happy and

TECHNICAL TRAINING.
what Superiority In This Respect Has
Done for the German
Empire.

No nation in the world except the
United States has developed indus
trially more rapidly than Germany.
The empire, organized only 30 years
ago, has become great manufactur-
ing nation, has forced its way into
European, Asiatic and South Amer
lean markets against the competition
of England and the United States, and
Is fighting resolutely for new terri
tory. With the growth Of strong
national sentiment there has been
astonishing progress in all the de-
partments of industry where trained
intelligence and skilled hands play an
important part, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
Manufacturers of the United States,
OF Great Britain and Of France have

progress ina Germany They agree
that II is due largely 70 superior tech
