Washington, d. c., April 22.-Auth-
orization to begin negotiations with
the Mexican government for an i'm
mediate armistice was received from
General Francisco !. Madero, Jr., to-
day, by DR.. Vasquez Gomez, confiden-
tial agent of the insurrectos in the
United States. Madero's message
says: General Madero accepts the
armistice proposed, covering the one
of Juarez, in order to negotiate peace
in conferences that are to follow"
The news of the agreement to the
armistice was Immediately telegraph
ed Senor De La Barra, minister of
foreign affairs at Mexico City. The
belief is general here that Mexico will
quickly agree to an armistice, although
action may be taken unofficially to
avoid a public recognition of the in
surrectos.

NorIcE 10 SHAWNEE INDIANS

All members of the Shawnee Tribe
of Indians residing in Northeast Okla
homa and Eastern Kansas will take
notice that through the friendly sup
port and influence of the Oklahoma
senators and congressman, and espec-
tally Senator Owen, have secured
legislative action which enables us to
make proof of the Shawnee depreda-
tions claims against the United States.
An appropriation of nearly half a
million dollars was made to meet the
claims after they have been passed up
on by the Court of Claims. II is now
necessary that all persons having
claims under this class, or where the
claimant is dead, all the legal heirs of
such claimant must present to the
Court of Claims due and formal state
ment of his claim
| hold power of attorney from about
ninety per centum of the persons com
ing under this legislation, and WILL
as soon as possible, file in the Court
of Claims due and formal petition for
Judgment in favor of each claimant
or the heirs of the claimant where the
original claimant is dead.
All Shawnee Indians knowing them
selves to be claimants or heirs of
claimants, who lost property during
the period between January /, 1861,
and January /, 1866, should, if they
have not already signed formal power
of attorney do so at once, authorizing
some one to represent them in the
of formal proceedings to col
lect their interest in this fund.
The class of losses is of course limit
ed to what are known as the Depreda-
tions Claims. The members of the
Shawnee Business Committee of which
Mr.. G. G. Cornatzer of Vinita, is pres
ident will give full information con-
corning the character of claims.
If you desire me to represent you,
write me at once and / will enclose
blank power of attorney for you to
sign.
All persons so writing should give
the name of the claimant and whether
he is an heir and the names and ad-
dress of al the other heirs. l have
a full list of all persons who lost prop
erty and the amounts thereof at my
office at Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Yours truly,
44-6 CHAS. B. ROGERS.

The farmers greatest problem now
is to sustain or increase the fertility
of his land. The best and most prac-
tical way of doing this is by keeping
cattle. Cattle are manufacturing ma
chimes to which the farmer can sell
all his rough feed, besides his corn,
clover and alfalfa at a greater profit
than upon any other market. They
manufacture the BEST KNOWN GEN
ERAL fertilizer, and this needed in
large quantities on every farm. Keep
all the stock you can, even if you are
compelled to buy extra feed. Buying
feed and manufacturing 1t into fertili-
ger through cattle is far better than
buying commercial fertilizer. Good

LADIES HAVE MAJORITY
RT MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT
From Saturdays Daily.

Except for a comparative dearth of
men the meeting at the Commercial
Club was a grand success, from
social standpoint. Owing to other
meetings a number of the leading
men of the city were unable to attend.
However, there were probably one hun
dred and fifty people there, and those
who attended were glad they went.
Pleasing talks we're made by Seymour
Riddle and Judge Gill, and a splendid
musical program was rendered. AS
most Of the attendance was composed
of ladies, the business of the meeting
was dispensed with and a general good
time was had. Refreshments were
served.

Washington, D. c., April 22.-Presi-
dent Taft's Canadian reciprocity agree
!. ment, supported by all but a handful
of democrats and opposed by ma
jority of republicans, passed the house
of representatives Friday evening by
vote of 265 to 49,
With nearly 200 democrats in con-
troll and their action endorsed by
many of the republicans, the bill was
adopted with no amendments and is
almost identically in the form in which
it passed the house in the last session.
The bill seeks to put into effect the
formal agreement reached by Presi-
dent Taft and members of the Cana
dian cabinet for the reduction of tariff
on many articles across the Canadian
border.
Added to it by the democratic lead
ers is a section which authorizes and
requests" President Taft to make fur
ther efforts to secure still freer trade
relations with Canada in the form of
additional reciprocal relations.
The passage of the bill marked the
close of a fight that has ragged in the
house for six days. In that time the
safety of the measure was at no time
threatened. The democratic and re-
publican leaders working for its pas
sage conceded all the opportunity de-
sired by it's opponents for debate and
protest. Following the same policy,
amendments were admitted in the
house for almost every section of the
bill, and in every case rejected by an
overwhelming vote given by friends
of the measure.
Three democrats voted against the
bill on it's passage, while 1877 voted
for it. AS in the case when the bill
passed at a preceding session ma
jority of the republicans were found
against it. Representatives Berger of
Wisconsin, the socialist member, voted
for it, and Representative Aiken of
New York, who ranks as an independ
ent voted against it.
The attempt to amend the agree
ment began with the final reading of
the bill at o'clock. The threat of
the republicans opposed to the meas
ure to make the democrats vote
against amendments for free meat,
free lumber, and agricultural machin-
cry, were carried out BIT as their
party leaders declared tina. my amend
ment would defeat the whole, they
voted it down. The republicans who
taunted them with opposing free adj
mission of these important products
were met with the assertion that the
democrats would slay the new farm
ers free list bill"
Il challenge the statement that we
are going to pass the free list bill with
the expectation that it will not be-
come a law" said Democratic Leader
Underwood in reply to statements
. from republican opponents of the reci-
procity bill.
"The free list bill will become law

For some time it has been the vogue

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

! Did 1t ever occur to you that there is
such thing as selfshness Of obliga-
ton?
I think there Is.
Yes, 1 would have given anything to
stay a week longer. but they wouldn't
let me pay a cent for my board. and l
didn't feel right to, without. know they
want to be kind. but it really cut my
vacation in half
The speaker was a Woodworking little
| woman. She was persuaded to take
rare and much needed breathing spell
this summer. One week of this vacation
she spent with some friends, who. al
though not much better off in worldly
goods than she, manage to have q sum-
mer cottage.
The other week she spent at home be-
cause these friends would not let her con-
tribute a little toward the expense OF the
cottage.
So what was undoubtedly meant kindly
on the part of her friends ended by
working a great deprivation to her.
How often people do things like that
from a mistaken sense of kindness.
And how often it makes other people
uncomfortable or works deprivation to
them as in this case.
| know a girl who is very skillful at
doing little dinner and dance cards. Her
friends often want to get her to do some
thing of the sort for them. but although
she always seems glad to do the work
she W II never take any payment. and so
they do not feel like asking her to he p
them out. The result Is that they pay
professional much larger price.
Last summer" 1 heard a woman say
, Just the other day. Il got little neigh
Dor of mine to take care of my cat while
/ was away. OF course, l paid for its
food, and when l came back l wanted to
pay the little girl for the care, but her
parents wouldn't let her take a cent. 1
felt terrible and. of course. this summer
/ couldn't ask her again. 1t would have
been a great convenience to me and l
know the little ri would be glad to do
it, for she loves cats, but what can you
do? 1 think people are SO foolish that
way"
So do I.
There are many times when gracious
acceptance of money for services rem
dered even when the transaction Is
between friends, is the highest courtesy.
And think those people who will not
accept such payment are selfish Of OBJ
ligaton
They want to keep the other party
eternally under obligation. And s.nce,
as every one knows. being under too

heavy obligation Is uncomfortable, that
is really a selfish state of mind.
OF course, there are times when people
offer to pay for things merely out OF
pol teness or a sense OF duty.
But / think such offers are easily dis
cernible.
Far more often people want to pay for
services rendered, N order that they may
not feel under uncomfortable obligat on.
and in order that they may feel free to
time.
Surely in such cases the kindest. most
courteous. most unselfish way is to let
them pay.
