CONFEDERATES
TO new ORLEANS

The next annual meeting Of the
United Confederate Veterans will be
held in New Orleans on April 25, 26
and 27. Several ViniUa veterans
and sons of veterans expect to be pres
ent The local camp will meet soon
to select delegates. The railroads
have made rate of one cent per mila
each way, and it is expected that
there will be a large attendance.
John L. Calf, major general of the
Indian Territory division, in an-
nouncing the date Of the reunion
says; "The remarkable death rate
among the old Confederates admo1-
ishes us that but few more short
years will have passed when none of
us will be left to meet in reunion.
Therefore, let all who can, attend
this meeting. Ample arrangements
have been made for your entertain
ment."

M 'CLELLAN HARD BLOW
viii Build on His Lots
at Wilson and
Canadian.

G. NJ. Mcclellan, of Claremore, is in
the city today looking after his prop
erty interests. He says Claremore is
booming, and is one Of the best towns
in the territory today. He is just
from Nowata, which he says is MAX
ing phenomenal growth just now.
While there the other day he disposed
Of some Of his property at price just
double that which he was offered five
weeks ago.
But though Claremore and Nowata
are both good towns, Mr. Mcclellan
has by no means lost faith in Vinita.
In fact, he considers this the coming
city. He is rushing work on his
building on the east side, and has
about decided to commence the erec-
tion o. a large three story building on
his three lots at the corner of Wilson
street and Canadian avenue. He is
convinced that Wilson street is to be-
come the business street OF the city.
and that his corner will be in the cen
ter Of the business district. He is,
Of course, in favor Of paving.
Mr.. Mcclellan states that his build
ing is now practically a certainty. It
will be three stories high, the first
floor TO be divided into store rooms,
the second to be for offices, and the
third to be occupied by the Cherokee
club. The club will have a dance
hall 5Ox75, besides several smaller
rooms. The building will be equip
ped with all the modern conveniences,
and will be In all respects the equal
of any building Of its size in any city
in the territory.

JUSTIF
Court Holds Merchant
Cushenberry Blame-
less for Killing
Burglar.

Deputy $. J.. Burns reached VinIta
late Yesterday afternoon with a. r.
Cushenberry, Of Okoee, who early yes~
terday morning shot negro who was
trying to break into his store. Yes
terday evening MI. Cushenberry was
given a preliminary hearing before
Commissioner T. j. Farrar, who found

Mr., Cushcnberry.
Mr.. CushenberrY testified tha6 he
had gone to bed ia bis Store with bis
eight year old son. At midnight
they were awakened BY the smashing
or a ws1 ow. Arising, Mr. Cuahen-
berry heard three men talking outside
the window. They finally made an
opening large enough to admit man
and one Of the three was hoisted up.
Mr.. Cushenberry fired, the man drop
ped, and his partners fed, Mr.. Cush-
enberry firing three shots at them,
and they firing thrice at him, none Of
the shots taking effect,
The man shot by Mr., Cushenberry
was found dead net five feet from the
window. The bullet, a .3s Colt, en-
tered his body an inch behind and
above the left nipple and probably
passed through the heart or one OF
the great arteries. The dead man
was identified as John Blair, young
negro. His horse remained hitched
to the fence, but his Two companions
escaped Efforts are being made to
capture them.

Tariff Bill
is Killed in Senate
Committee.

Associated Press
Washington, Mar. President
Roosevelt was given perhaps the
worst blow of his administration to-
day when the senate committee on
Philippines refused altogether to re-
port the Philippines tariff bill. BY a
vote Of eight to five the committee
voted against favorable report, and
by vote Of seven to six refused to
allow the courtesy Of an adverse re-
port, which would at least bring the
bill before the senate in open session.
AS it is the bill, which was one Of the
administrations pet measures is ef-
fcctually disposed of for the session.
The bill was killed by Republican
votes. The Democrats on the COM
mittee favored a report The bill
narrowly escaped defeat in the house,
being passed only after strenuous ex-
srtions by Speaker Cannon and with
the assistance Of Democratic votes.
/ The defeated measure, which was
known as the Payne bill, provides for
free trade with the Philippines for all
articles except sugar, tobacco, rice,
which for three years we're to be
admitted at twenty per cent Of the
present. Dingley rates, after which
there was to be absolute free trade.
After the Payne bill had been ef-
fectually disposed Of Senator Nc
Creary, Democrat, Kentucky, moved
to report his bill, which provides for
free trade immediately. The motion
was lost, only four senators, all DEM
ocrats, voting in the affirmative.

the sale Of coal lands Of the Choctaw
nation being the pending question.
Senator LaFollette continued his
speach in support of his amendment
The fact that the senate has not
displaced the Curtis bill, but has re-
sumed consideration oft, gives ground
for the hope by the friends of the
territory here that the bill will be
passed within a short time. There
was considerable fear lest it should
be dropped altogether now to give
way to the statehood and rate regu-
lation bills.

Washington, Mar. 2-The senate to-

Of the Indian Territory. The bill pro-
vides for the continuation of the
Dawes commission, and also of the
tribal schools, which would have been

FRISCO
Will Transfer All It's Alton
Business to Vinita at Once.

The Chieftain is informed on re-
liable authority this morning that
'the Frisco has great things in store
= for this city, Improvements contem-
plating the expenditure here of thous-
ands Of dollars, and that will bring to
this city fifty or more families.
Briefly, these changes contemplate
the removal to this city from Alton
Of all the freight business now trans
acted there. A new freight depot
has been ordered here, the construc-
tion of which will be begun as soon as
tie srajyerial, which is ordered can be
secured. At the same time 600 foot
platform win be built for the trans
fer Of freight.
When these changes have been
made all freight trains from
the north and east divisions will be
run through to Vinita, and the loads
will be shifted here, the small loads
being consolidated and sorted before
being sent on to the west. This work
wiz require large force Of freight
hsAsdlers
or course with Vinita division
point for all freights, as it is now for
local freights, a round house and turn
table will be necessary. All crews
will run to this city, and make Vinita
their head quarters Additional sid
ings to accommodate greatly in
creased traffic have been surveyed,
and will be built at once. The stub
passenger trains which now run only
TO Alton will be built to Vinita, and
their crews likewise will make this
city their headquarters.
Brick are now on the way for con-
astruction OF an eight foot sidewalk
from the Frisco station to Illinois
ascnue Agent Deck says that the
work Of laying this walk will doubt
less be commenced Monday or Tues
day.
When the changes now mapped out
are made Vinita will be the most i'm
portant division point on the Frisco
between Monett and Sapulpa. The
road has always been friendly to this
city, and vinita has cordially reclp-
rocated the feeling.

PLANS FOR SELLING SEATS
NEW HAVEN ORATORIO SOCIETY
 MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT.

Interest in It's Coming Concert is Keen
 -T,ruch's Beautiful, Secular OratOrio
 Will be Superbly Sung by Great
 Chorus, Noted Soloists, Augmented
 Orchestra, Harp, Newberry Organ.
 The sale of seats for the coming pro- duction of Bruch's "Arminius," by the New Haven Oratorio society in Woolsey hall, will open on Saturday, March 10, at 10 a. m. The first days sale will be held at the Woolsey hall box office only it will last fro mic @. m. until D. m.
 Thereafter there will be double sale when seats may be had every morn ing from Il a. m. until D. m. at Wool sey hall, and every afternoon from 3 to 6 o'clock at the M. Steinert Sons co. On the day of the concert seats may be had at both Woolsey hall and Steinert's ! all day from a. m. Prices are 50c, 75c and $1, and whether one buys a ticket at 50 cents or at $1 the purchaser will be assured a seat as the society managers have decided to have the en- tire house reserved.
 The New Haven Symphony orchestra. considerably augmented, which is Co as- slst the society in the production of "Arminius, will hold a very important rehearsal on Friday afternoon in Col lege street hall in preparation for the coming concert. Dr. Parker conductor of obth organizations, has invited the members of the oratorio society to at tend Fridays rehearsal so that the singers may get an idea of the wonder full orchestration of the Bruck work. The deepest interest is felt in the com ing concert and the society has every reason to feel hopeful that the public will give this production as generously of It's support as was given to the first concert when "St. Christopher" was sung.
 The soloists in themselves are of such note that they alone would attract a. great audience There is the operatic baritone, Giuseppe Campanari, of the Metropolitan opera house, whose recent appearance here in song recital is so fresh in the minds of the cast crowd | that heard him in Woolsey hall that it is sufficient to simply state that he will sing tine role of Arminius, and this fact is impressive enough. Then there is Madame May Gertrude Stein, of whom MT. Krehbiel of the Tribune once wrote: "The indispensable Miss Stein. whose trustworthiness in all musical undertakings has won for her almost a monopoly of the contralto field in this l country as far as oratorio is concern | ed" And finally Edward Johnson, the young tenor, of whom some day not far distant things just as sweeping will be said Already he is in demand for or atorio all over the country wherever oratorio is given.
