The Downing convention to nom.
mate chici and assistant chief Of
the Cherokee Nation will meet on
Tuesday of next week at Hatchett
Springs in Tahlequah. The Gus
tom, as has been in vogue for a
generation or more is remarkable
in that it has nothing but its anti
quity to commend it. Three
"head captains" are appointed in
some mysterious way, in fact there
is no power above them. They in
time appoint three more little cap
tains for each of the nine districts
and then each OF the three district
captains appoint one delegate to
the convention making six dele.
gates from each district. The small
est of the districts, Saline with
less than FIVE hundred votes has
an equal voice With the largest,
Cooweescoowe with more than
two thousand votes. The voters
have little to say as to who is
nominated, the whole thing being
left to the big captains and the lit
tie captains as they are designated.

made the treaty effective so far as thai

be ratified by the United States sen-

changed and the treaty put in opera

treaty are briefly as follows:
First, settlement Of the long-vexed
question of internal taxation in China.
Second, recognition Of Americans
right of residence throughout the en-
pire for missionary work.
Third, protection of patents, trade

DR.. Charles w. Benin, Of the health
department of Chicago, has discovered
a new vaccine, superior in many re-
spects to that now used by physicians.
One Of the chief objections to the vac
cine now used is the long time neces-
sary for its application. 1t often takes
80 and 40 minutes to i%noculate a per-
son with the virus because of the
glycerin with which it is mixed. This
disadvantage is obviated by the re-
suits obtained by DR.. Benin. Instead
of mixing lymph with %glycerin in or
der to secure a virus he has discovered
that chloroform will accomplish the
same result.

Gov. Bailey stated that Kansas will
have about 70 per cent. of a full corn
crop. He bases this opinion upon what
he has seen and heard Of it, as he
has been travelling over the state. A
full corn crop, according to Gov. Bal
ley's idea, is well up toward the larga
est crop the state has raised in the
past. In 1889 Kansas produced 273,-
100000 bushels. Seventy per cent. of
this would be something like $780,
100000 bushels, apd Gov. Bailey be-
lieves the crop this year will be well
up toward that figure.

was placed in the van in the custody OF

Seeming to realize then for the first
time that he was under arrest Elliott

officer grabbed his hand and wrenched
the weapon from his grasp. Thomas
Stone, chief usher, and Officer Parker,

vehicle and assisted in oy.erpowering
him.
In the struggle within the police a

his head severely cutting his head and
face. Officer Cissel sustained a cut on
the right arm, two inches of flesh being
cut out Of the f1eshy part of the arm.
The van was hurried to.the. Emergency
