Muskogee, |. T., Aug. S0.-The dis.
tinction Of being the first Indian Of
blood to have the right to sell his
lands Is enjoyed by Brooks Wright, a
quarterblood Of Wapanucka, Choctaw
nation. Indian Agent Shoenfelt re-
ceived from Washington an approval
application removing Wrights restric-
tons. This is not only the first, but
the onlytapplication that has met the
approval Of both tile agent and the
secretary Of the Interior
The land buyers still hang on and
daily send petitions that the restrlc-
tons upon the sale of lands of full.
blood Indians be removed. The agent
transmitted $50 recommendations to
Washington asking that that number
of applications be approved. The In
dian appropriation bill, which contain
ed the provision for the removal Of the
restrictions upon the sale Of Indian
lands, became effective on May 81.
A portion of the same section removed
the restrictions on all freedmen.

LEARNING THINGS

We Are All In tho Apprentice Glass.
When a simple change Of diet
brings back health and happiness tho
story is briefly told. A lady Of
Springfield, ILL.,, says: AFTER being
afflicted for years with nervousness
and heart trouble, | received a shock
four years ago that left me In such
a condition that my life was despaired
Of. ! could get no relief from doctors
nor from the numberless heart and
nerve medicines | tried because !
didn't know that the coffee was daily
putting me back more than the Dra
could put me ahead.
FINALLY at the request Of friend I
left of coffee and began the use Of
Postum and against my convictions !
gradually improved In health until for
the past 8 or 8 months have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells Of heart trouble.
my troubles all came from the use
Of coffee which | had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when | quit coffee and took up tho
use Of Postum" Name given By
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects
Of leaving of coffee and drinking
Postum but there 10 nothin: marvel.
GUS about it-only common sense.

Letters published in Russian news.
papers from soldiers in Manchuria
give some vivid pictures Of life In
the Russian ranks. A private named
Veruinan writes from Port Arthur:
1.-TWO Poles, Catholics from Warsaw,
got white all over when the yellow.
faces began to shoot. Our Jew, Yanko,
sold them amulets made Of leather
of dead mans boot to keep off the
Jap shells. Thank God, we orthodox
believers are not afraid Of shells. The
Poles asked Yanko why he did not
wear charm himself, but he put
their money in his pocket and said:
This Is charm enough for me. There
are hundreds Of fellows here trying to
do us soldiers, but one fellow got left
badly by Yanko. Yanko had TO-
ruble note which he said the Makaki'
(Japanese) forged; he bought it for
a ruble at Hardin and kept it as a
curiosity. A man tried to sell him
a gold ring made Of brass for a ruble
and Yanko pretended not to know the
difference and paid him with the Jap
note, getting nine rubles in change.
Next day the man came back and ask
ed for his money, but Yanko threat.
ened to get him fogged for trying to
swindle poor ignorant soldiers, and
we all laughed. Afterward Yanko ex.
changed the gold ring with the ma.
jor's cook for a bottle Of vodka and
treated us all, which Is quite decent,
considering he Is Jew"

DEMOCRATIC LEADER
RETIRES FROM POLITICS

gagged in active politics since his
youth, and having served as city at
torney, alderman and mayor Of Elmi-
ra, member of the legislature, lieuten-
ant governor, governor for seven years
and United States senator for six
years, he feels that he has been suf-
ficiently honored by his party and
that he has rendered political service
during a period of years sufficient to
entitle him to be relieved of further
active political effort.
He desires to devote more time to
personal affairs and professional du.
ties than he has in the past.
Mr.. Hill will continues his work in
the present campaign, and to his
friends said that he would always
maintain his interest in democratic
success, but only as a private citizen.

Russia Pleads Not Guilty
Gives Great Britain Assurance

London, Aug. 31.-The Russian gov
eminent has given assurance to Great
Britain that there is absolutely no
ground for the charge that Russian
warships are discriminating against
British shipping in favor of Germany
or other shipping in connection with
their operations to search for contra
band. 1t is explicitly stated that Rus
STA is not pursuing British ships, Ger
man ships or ships of any other ma
tionality, but that she is solely pursu-
ing contraband, This assurance has
gone far to allay the irritation of the
government here, which had been re-
ceiving unofficial information indicat-
ing discrimination.
The foreign office has also oeen oi.
flcially advised of the appointment Of
the joint commission representing the
Russian and foreign marine minis
tries, to be presided over by Professor
de Martens, professor of international
law at the university of st. Petersburg

tional and absolute contraband,
The Associated Press is informed
that the commission will discuss the
ACCESSIBILITY of modification of the Rus
sian regulations governing contraband.
The foreign office understands it is
the purpose of Russia to conciiate the
United States on this subject. Russia
will make substantial concessions,
which are expected to go far to salts
fly both countries. At the same time
Russia has made it clear to Great
Britain that some latitude must be
given her in the way of Selling goods
conditionally contraband provided hos.
tile destination is suspected, as Pre-.
mier Balfour in his last statement re-
ferred to the necessity of neutrals
recognizing the rights possessed by
belligerents. 1t Is believed in Rus.
