The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1906-12-14

Guthrie, Dec. 40. b. Colquit Of
Texas railroad commission, addressed
the constitutional convention this
afternoon. He says commission rate
making is not success because Of
the courts, and urges Oklahoma to
give the commission judicial powers
and fix a maximum freight and pas
senger rates in the constitution The
labor forces have entered fight for
large counties.
A strong undercurrent against
county divisions, especially in Okla
homa, has become manifested here,
and the indications now point to re-
vision of sentiment among the dele
gates that will result in but few II
any changes being made on the Okla
homa side.
There can be no doubt tnat the
storm Of protest aroused In Comanche
and Woodward counties has been a
surprise to the majority of the dele
gates to the convention. AS one OF
them expresst it, many Of the dele
gates are taking a different view Of
the matter since hearing from home.
The assertion is openly made that
nineteenth Of the men who are here
advocating a county division have a
county map in one pocket and a
county seat In the other. On the other
hand, In the past day or two many

is READY.
Indian Appropriation
Bill Will Be Re-
ported Soon

Washington, Dec. l4-Chairman
Sherman of the house committee on
Indian affairs will in a few days re-
port the Indian appropriation bill.
1t carries appropriations Of s7,500,000
as against 100000 last year. An
appropriation Of $4,000 is made for
delivering allotment deeds to the In
didns. Twenty-Five Thousand dollars
is appropriated for the enforcement
of the prohibition law. Indian Ter
ritory schools secure 100000, double
last years appropriation.
Contrary to the expectations no
item was included for the removal Of
restrictions except that providing for
the expense of officers to prepare re-
cords for the removal Of restrictions.
1t is understood that the senate will
try to amend the bill to wipe out re-
strictions. Congressman Curtis says
the house will not stand for that: tho
it might meet the senate half way and
agree on removal of restrictions where
Indians are capable Of handling their
own affairs.
The committee believes that the
appropriation in this bill will enable
the department. to complete the work
of allotments in the Indian country.

FINDS $4,000 PAINTING.
Rare Work of Art Discovered by New
York Woman While
busting,

New York.-Mrs. Louisa MacNanara.
who lives In the Bronx, few days ago
wiped the dust and grease OF the pic
ture that had hung over her kitchen
range ever since she had possessed one,
and found that she had a great MASTER
piece that has been lost to the art world
for many years.
There has been excitement in the
MacNGmara household ever since the
discovery was made. That It is Il
masterpiece is assured by the decision
of an expert named Henzinger, who de-
clares 1t is worth about $4,000.
Mrs. MacNamara has thought the
matter over and decided that, as she
lives in frame house, and the great
work might be lost to the world of art II
n sudden ire should occur, she will ac-
ccpt the price II anyone comes forward
to give it.
The painting is supposed to be by
Levera. French artist, who painted in
the beginning OF the seventeenth CEN
tury. The subject of the painting is
1.-THE Fortune Teller"
If cracks and the general appearance
of age count for anything. there can be
little doubt that the picture that Mrs.
MacNamara possesses is old.

Rainfall and Tree Growth.

hseport has recently been published
which shows how closely the growth
of trees is dependent upon rainfall. Not
only was this seen In the case of one
and two-yearoid trees. but in an inves-
tigatIon extending over period of
twelve years. during which time the
annual rings of growth were carefully
examined. with an annual precipita-
tion of from thirty to tnirty-fivc inches
II width OF ring was produced varying
from IL to Is inch. If. on the other
hand, there was either an unusually
large or small rainfall in any given
year this was followed by CORE
spending tree growth in the following
year.-Harper's w ,kly.

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing Is Abandoned.

It is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use Of coffee rs 1t is for
u whisky or tobacco fiend to break OF.
except that the coffee user can quit cof-
fee and take up Postum Food Coffee
without any feeling Of a loss of the
morning beverage. for when Postum IL
well boiled and served with cream, It
Is really better in point of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur 1t
Is like the flavor of fine Java.
A great transformation takes place in
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left off and Postum Food
Coffee used. for the reason that the poi
son to the nerves has been discontinued
and in its place is taken liquid that
contains the most powerful elements of
nourishment.
1t is easy to make this test and prove
these statements by changing from cof-
fee to Postum Food Coffee.

DEMAND FOR CEMENT.
Used for Buildings, Sidewalks. Bridges.
Railway Construction and
Dams,

The steady Increase In the demand
for cement liz one of the prominent fca-
lures OF the Industrial world. Although
the number of cement works Ii greater
every year and although the produc-
tion has been multiplied many times
over recently. the demand continues
to ou,run the supply. and there Is rca-
son to believe that this state of affairs
Will continue for n number of years.
One OF the sources of the demand for
cement IN found In the irrigation works
of tho United States government, and
an immense amount OF liquid stone"
Is required for the building OF the great
dams now building or soon TO be built
across western streams.
The railroads OF the country arc also
increasing their demand ior cement.
which Is found to be the best possible
material not only for bridge abut-
ments. but also in many cases for
bridges. viaducts and culverts. The
rapid improvement OF the road beds OF
American railways. now in progress.
has called for n vast quantity OF ce-
ment, and the railway companies have
not been able to get the material us
fast as It is needed.
Cement has also been found to be
the best possible material for side.
walks. and 1t Is rapidly supplantins
brick, stone and wood for this purpose.
1t is also used almost exclusively for
the footings or foundations of heavy
walls.
Closely connected with the increased
demand for cement is the very rapid
rise in the price of lumber. The sup
ply of timber suitable for building pur-
poses In the United States is rapidly
diminishing. while the use of concrete
for small as we'll as large buildings is
increasing very rapidly.
One of the largest cement works in
the country Is already located in the
Arkansas valley. and the supply OF this
material is practically illimitable. The
development of the cement industry in
Colorado to many times Its present
proportions is assured.-Pueblo Chief

IA RUSSIAN MARTYR.
WOMAN WHO DIED FOR OTHERS
Assassin of Cruel and Unjust Gov
ernor-Fiend Who Burned. Slew,
Ravished and Tortured.

We Americans. SO carefully nurtured
in the lap OF liberty. SO thoroughly
broken TO the rule and the reign or
law. so used to see political events run
along smoothly and serenely. and So
generally well governed that the slight
est resort TO extraordinary power IL
viewed with suspicion and alarm. have
a horror OF the political assassin. We
have seen three OF our best and noblest
Presidents stricken down By the assas'
sins bullet. We have noted that the
men guilty of the crime were monsters
In human guise. We have been so ut
terly stunned by the causelessness OF
the attacks that We are hardly in
mental condition to do full justice to
the conditions in Russia. which has
led to the formation OF n party which
has for It's object the taking OF the life
OF those high in authority. We are not
inclined to yield them much sympathy.
We are told that IL is a wrong method.
and that II will only make the lot OF
the people over there much worse.
And yet after reading the story OF
the young woman who killed the gov
ernor OF one OF the provinces Il must
be admitted that she had right and JUS
,ice on her side when she deliberately
took the life OF this official. Her story
OF this monsters fiendish cruelty reads
like tale from out the barbarous past.
This Russian ofiiciai. who seems TO be
fair sample Of the petty satrap sent
into the country by the merciful Car
TO ''pacify" certain province. appears
To have been devoid of every instinct OF
humanity. He was like some wild and
rayenins beast. who slaughtered for
the pure lust of blood. He was per-
fcctly safe from Official prosecution.
In fact he was the law. He carried the
commission OF the Emperor. He came
as one In authority. He and his Cos.
sacks burned. slew. ravished and tor.
turcd. They spared neither age nor
sex. guilty and Innocent were alike tho

She took on herself the cs-

have been branded. but most OF the
horses have never felt the sting OF the
