 Cousin Kate" is the work of Hubert Henry Davies, the young English play wright, who is better known on the other side of the Atlantic than he is in this country.

This is accepted as the first stage DOT traiture of a type that has been growing more and more falmiar in this day and generation-the young oldmaid of modern society. To the character outlined by the playwright, Miss Barrymore lends such a measure of her winning personality. and dainty talent, that Kate Curtis becomes

the loss of hundreds of lives and un-

over this city. Like the Iroquois

that a careful investigation of the
catastrophe and it's causes will be
made. Not only the coroner, repre-.

If all the preliminary evidence gath
cred by public officials and the press
is correct, criminal carelessness in
several quarters has been the cause
of the terrible loss of lives. 1t was
undoubtedly criminal carele1sness to
use the oil and lamp room of a steam
ship for storing highly inflammable
material like sea hay, which is used
for packing crockery. 1t is equally
criminal to enter a room, containing
so many highly infammable things

shal Darrough of the Northern
District swoOped down upon Tale
quah yesterday and raided every
drug store in the town. One hun
dred and ten gallons of whisky,
forty gallons Of alcohal and ten
gallons of malt were poured into
the streets. The stores of j. E.

Drug Co. were raided. The own
ers of the stores were placed under
bonds of $500 each.
Since the Cherokee Land Office
opened in Tallequah, a year ago,
there has been a great deal of IL
quor sold. Within the last week
there have been two killings due
directly to this cause.
1t is also stated that lease men
have been getting the Indians
drunk and taking leases frem them
greatly to the disadvantage of the
Indians. The Marshal was inform
ed of this condition Sunday, and
yesterday the raid was made. He
came in from the East, having
circled around the town to come
by some unexpected route. He
drove rapidly from the depot to
the drug stores, dropping man at
each one, with orders to search
the premises.
The liquor was confscated and
poured into the streets and set on
fire. In addition to what was
found IN the drug stores, a barrel
of rye and Il lot of smaller pack,
ages were found in the depot, moi
yet delivered. These were also con

his engine occurred By this time
he had familiarized himself with

knew how to adjust matters.
