Some months ago there was feel
ing that union prayer meeting
among the ladies would prove very
helpful. So at the suggestion of one
of our consecrated women it was de-
cided to hold such service once each
month. Its purpose is to awaken a
deeper spiritual feeling in our homes.
The fifth meeting was held at the
home of Mrs. J. r. Scott, Jan. 4, with
Mrs. George Clark as leader, who con-
Quoted the service in her own helpful
way. These meetings have been we'll
attended and have proved very in
spring. 1t is hoped more Of the la
dies will become interested thus add
ing power and strength.

TO PASS ON
CHEROKEE CLAIM
Tribes Suit for $4,OOO,OOO
in the Supreme Court
This Week.

Washington, Jan. 8-A claim Of the
Cherokee nation against the govern
ment aggregating oyerfour million dol
lars will come before the supreme
court this week
Charles Nagel of ST. Louis, Edgar
T. Smith of Vinita, attorney for the
Cherokees, and Frederick D. McKen-
ney of this city will submit arguments
in behalf of the tribe. The claim Of
the Indians dates back to the treaty
of 1885, under which they were moved
from Georgia to the Indian territory.
The. court of claims decided that the
government is liable for the principal
and interest and the case was appeal
ed to the supreme court. The attor-
neys for the Indians must show, first,
that the government owes the Indians
81, 100, 900 and, second, that interest at
the rate of per cent year should
be paid
In the event that they succeed in
doing this the attorneys for the Cher
okee nation must convince the court
that the money is due that nation and
not the branch known RS Eastern
Cherokees. The latter will be repre-
sented by Robert L. Owen and others
Their contention is that the money
shoulu be paid to the Eastern Cher
okees. An element of the Eastern
Cherokees is represented by Mrs. Belva
Lockwood, who has been granted by
the supreme court half hour to pre-.
sent her argument.

ISLAND IN LAKE SUPERIOR.
Where Gulls Do Not Take the
Trouble to Make Many
Nests.

Gull island, one Of the Apostle
group of Lake Superior, is one of the
most interesting bits of land in this
country" said Charles II. Collins, Of
Ashland, Wis, to the Milwaukee Sem
tinel, 'for the entire island, early in
the SUMMER is literally mass Of
gulls' eggs. The birds do not bother
much about nest making A little
clump Of mud, kicked up into a mound,
with hollow top filled with grass Or
feathers, Is all that gull requires to
lay its eggs. These are usually laid
three in nest In the daytime they
are left to the tender keeping Of the
SUMS rays, while the old birds hunt
food. When night falls the mother
gull sits upon the eggs until the sun
has again come well up into the sky,
so that they are never chilled.
"The nests are built within a few
feet of one another and there are
thousands of them Fortunately the
island is seldom visited by a vandal
class, and most tourists are content
to take one or two eggs as souvenirs,
leaving the rest undisturbed. While
walking about among the nests one ID
surrounded by crowd of shrieking
gulls, but in spite Of their size they
are not savage before the eggs are
hatched. After the nests are filled
with young, however, the parent birds
will fly into the faces OF any ma
rauders and make a savage fight for
their little ones"

Washington, Jan. s-President
Roosevelt today transmitted to cong
ress his message on an annual report
of the Isthmian Canal Commission.
The president says the work on the
Isthmus is being admirably done and
great progress has been made. "All
the work, /" says the president, so far
has been done not only with the ut
most expedition but in most careful
and thorough manner, and what has
been accomplished gives us reason to
believe that the canal will be dug in

the estimated amount. The president

DYNAMITE BOMB
FOUNDON STREET
Daring Attempt to Blow up the
United States IailMarrOw-
Iy Averted.

Saturday afternoon excitement
reigned on South Wilson street and a
vast crowd of men and boys gathered
around what appeared to be a dyna-
mite bomb lying in the middle of the
street covered with soft mud. A
bunch of boys discovered the internal
implement of death and quickly gave
the alarm Men braved the mud al
most hip deep and stood fearlessly in
front of the globular object ready for
the worst. The striking of match
would have caused a stampede. Many
veterans who had faced open-mouthed
cannon on bloody battle fields felt
their knees smire together and their
teeth chartered audibly. The crowd
grew rapidly until The whole city, at
least the male portion Of it seemed to
be gathered about the agent Of des-
truction. When the tension had
reached its zenith and the city SEEM
ed doomed, when men thought of their
wives and sweethearts tenderly as
though they would never see them
again in this world, grizzled old man
with a look of desperation on his
weather beaten countenance walked
straight up to the mud-covered object
and poked it sayagely with his cane
it was cabbage that had rolled off
of grocers delivery wagon into the
mud.

hat,
Hey. there" cried the ex-resister,
stop that brand new hat of mine!
Won't some one stop liz"
There was something in the profes-

looking stranger, who made a lunge
at the head gear, but could do no
better than put his feet through 1t.
Consequently the brim was the only
part recognizable after the fatality.
Well, YOU certainly have put your
foot in it, shouted Mr. McGill
Beg pardon. what did you say?"
