newspaper men and the politicians of the day None of them, however, were bet ter wire pullers" or lobbyists than she, and the first few legislatures bear ample testimony to this fact. She was soon dubbed Kentucky Daisy" and to tho majority of the people of Oklahoma she so remained until. like her name sake, she faded from the life of the terri tory.
 This fading process was long way off, however. She had facile pen, and while in Guthrie was correspon- dent for big dailies in St. Louis, New York, Chicago, Dallas and Cincinnati, and was occupied part of the time in doing local work for Guthrie pa pers.
 A few years later this spunky and beautiful Kentucky girl was again a conspicuous figure in the public eye when she made the run with the thou sands of others at the opening of the Sac and Fox reservation. Astride a strong white horse she was well in the lead and stood good chance to once more win claim, but the horse sud- denly stumbled and she was thrown violently to the ground. It was thought she had been killed and was 70 telegraphed all over the country, but instead she was merely stunned, and upon regaining her senses laid claim to the ground upon which she had fallen.
 This became a part of the town site of Chandler and is the lot which is now being advertised for sale.
 Although she had had during her career many tempting offers of mar riage, it was her fate to fall in love with young and handsome Swedish maintained in Oklahoma by the gov ernment. This young fellow was some ten years her junior, but despite this they were married, and, while he re- mained in the army, she continued her work in public life. By this time, however Mrs. Svegeburg, her hus- bands Christian name, was not so young and fresh as In the first days of Oklahoma, and for this and other reasons the Swedish soldier com menced to view his marriage as any, thing but tasteful. He was suddenly transferred to Chicago, and, although his wife remained in Oklahoma for a time, her love for her Husband was strong, and at length yielding, she fol- lowed him there.
 Upon her arrival she discovered he had secured divorce from her and re- married She never returned to Okla homa, and was heard of no more until her death, which occurred last au- tumn. At that time a Chicago attor- hey went to Oklahoma and told of the pitiful death of the one time we'll known woman

WAS A DAISY INDEED.
METEoRIC CAREER OF KEN TUCKY GIRL IN OKLAHOMA.
Gained Fame by Leaping from Cow catcher and Hanging Her Skirt on Bush, Thus Stalking
 Her Claim.

An advertisement for the sale of valuable lot by the administrator of the estate of Nannette Svegeburg means to those who are in possession of the facts that 1t is the closing chapter in the story of the most spectacular woman who has ever called Oklahoma home She is dead now, and, strange to say, there are no distant relatives fighting over the wealth she left behind. A few there have been who have laid claim to the lands she owned, but when traced to the end their claims have proved false, or, at least, shadowy.
 Miss Nannette Daisy, her name before her marriage, was Ktatuckian and 8 beautiful woman. It Is related that prior to going to Oklahoma she was assistant state librarian of Kentucky, but further than this her antecedents are little known. But she was good mixer" and wire puller" and showed other evil dences of having had her share in the politics of the state which claimed her birth.
 The Chicago Inter Ocean says that it was on April 22, 1889, that she first came into prominence. Upon that date old Oklahoma, as 1t is now designated, was first opened for settlement Miss Daisy contrived to make friends with the en- gineer of the first train which went into Oklahoma from the south. From point near the southern border she boarded the train, taking seat on the cowcatcher of the engine. When the train reached q point few miles north of where BrittOn, Okla, and south of Guthrie, Okla, are now located, she gave the preconcerted signal to the engineer, who slowed the train while she leaped to the ground and hung on convenient bush her petticoat, which she had inscribed with the legend: "This is my claim" Being woman of considerable breeding and education, she naturally fell in with the better element and numbered among her friends the

Census Enumerators Unearth Ex-
 traordinary Specimen of Longevity VI Woman Is 112 Years Old.

During their investigations the cen sus enumerators in the Krugersdorp district unearthed an extraordinary specimen of longevity in the person of a very old native woman, whose age is believed to exceed 112 years. She went to the Transvaal with the original band of the rebellious subjects of Chaka, the Zulu Napoleon. Her parchment face is wrinkled like piece of corrugated iron or walnut shell, and she is stone deaf, but is otherwise in possession of all her faculties. She is surrounded by a whole tribe of descendants, down to the fifth or sixth generation, and the superstitious natives invest her with all the mystic charms of immor- tality. She is believed to be one of King Edwards oldest subjects.

Cornelius Vanderbilt is student of the American of 50 or 60 years ago. MT. Vanderbilt's researches have brought up many striking instances of the crudity of the American of the past. when everyone chewed tobacco and men wore paper collars instead of linen ones, and now and then he tells a story of those days
 ''In 1885," he said recently, "a Yer mont shopkeeper came to New York for the first time. He was sitting one day in railroad station waiting for a train, and while he waited he chewed tobacco and spat on the station wall. An official soon bore down on him.
 Look a-here, old man. said the official, don't spit on them walls. You ought to know better than that

New indian Commits IOner.

News from the national capital, un-
der date of Nov. 20, is to the effect
that Frances f. Leupp, for many
years Washington correspondent of
the New York Evening Post, will
succeed w. A. Jones of Wisconsin,, as
United States commissioner OF Indi-
an affairs Jan. l, Mr.. Jones is
prompted to retire for business rea-
sons only. He has been in office
more than seven years, serving long
er than any of his predecessors.
Mr.. Leupp, whose nomination as
commissioner of Indian affairs will
be sent to the senate early next
month, long has been student of the
Indian question. He is IA close per
sonal friend of President Roosevelt.
as he was of President Mckinley,
and the latter tried several times to
induce him to enter official life, in
viting him on one occasion to be-
come member of the civil service
commission.
By invitation of President Roose-
welt and Indian Commissioner Jones
Mr.. Leupp last year made Especial
investigation Of the Indian land
frauds in Oklahoma and Indian ter
ritory, and his report attracted
widespread attention. He was for sew.
eral years the Washington repre-
of the Indian Rights assoc
iation.
Mr.. Jones was at his home in this
city this week. 1t is understood that
he will, Immediately upon retiring
as Indian Commissioner, associate
with the Mineral Point zinc
works company, which has recently
purchased the Mason Mine of Lin
den, all the mining rights possible to
obtain in the vicinity of Highland,
and other similar rights in this Sec
ton. Thus wide field of activity
is assured Mr.. Jones in looking after
the interests of said company.

Faithful Officers Retired.

Dodgeville Chronicles:
The county board of supervisors in
session here this week, by the vote
of a majority of its members, retired
Jas. l.. Jones as trustee of the Iowa
County Asylum and Robert l.. Join
er as superintendent of assessment,
electing as their successors, respect
lively, Mich el H. Murphy, Of Clyde,
and John Knight of Mineral Point.
AS both Mr.. Jones and Mr., Joiner
have proven very competent, faith
full and industrious officers, dis
charging their duties at all times in
the most cOmmendable manner, the
reason which actuated the members
of the board who voted to retire them
at the end of their first term will
have to be found elsewhere than in
any desire or expectation of further
ing the best interests of the county.
There successors are worthy gentle
men, and If they shall prove equal y
competent and faithful, we trust no
political exigency may arise at the
end of their term to deprive the
county of the value of the expert
ence they will then have gained.
