CHOCTAWS At CONFERENCE
VOTE TO SELL LANDS

McAlester, Okla, Nov. ia mass
meeting of Choctaws, held here We'd
nesday, was attended by nearly three
hundred representative members of the
tribe The meeting had been called by
a hu- ber of influential men in favor
of having tribal affairs wound up, and
efforts will be made to induce congress
to dc something at the coming session.
The movement was opened by Gov
ernor Dick Locke and other officials in
the tribal government, but the COVER
nor did not attend the meeting. 1t was
soon discovered that the sentiment of
those present was largely with the
men calling the meeting.
The meeting lasted all day, and late
this evening the resolutions reported
by the committee were adopted as re-
ported with the exception of the Sec
tion providing for the abolishment of
tribal government. This was so amend
ed as to do away with all the officials
but the principal chief. his duties to be
limited TO the signing of deeds and his
salary reduced from $5,4OO to 5000 per
annum.
The resolutions favor the sale of the
surface of the segregated lands, the
sale of remaining unallotted lands in
tracts to suit the purchaser, the abol-
ishment of the Indian schools and the
sale of the school and other public
buildings, the sale of the coal as soon
as market conditions justify it and the
payment per capita of all money due
the tribe not later than January 1, 1918.
Representative w. F. Semple of Cad
do was elected permanent chairman.
w. H. Durant, former speaker of the
lower house of the Choctaw council,
WAS The active spirit in the meeting.
A central committee was named to
have its headquarters at McAlester and
appoint men in every county to cir
culate petitions in an effort to induce
80 per cent of the members of the tribe
to indorse the action of Wednesdays
mass-meeting, and another committee
was appointed to present the resolu-
tions to the Representatives in con-
gress from this side of the state.
A telegram was sent President Taft
last night protesting against the action
of the council in appropriating $4,000
for sanitarium and $4,000 to pay the
expenses of delegates to Washington,
and against the contract signed by Gov
ernor Locke appointing J. P. J. Hurley
as attorney for the tribe for the rea-
son that he was trying to reopen the
rolls.

"The Travelling Salesman"

"The Travelling Salesman by
James Forbes, author of "The Chorus
Lady" will be the offering Tuesday, No
vember 28, at the Grand Theatre.
The story of "The Travelling Sales
man" concerns Bob Blake, a jovial
drummer, who is compelled to spend
his Christmas day in a lonely village
of the middle west. and on arrival finds
in the presence of Beth Elliott, the
ticket agent at the depot, most con-
genial person. They strike up an ac-
quaintanceship which soon ripens into
affection, and for the first time in his
life, the young, well-meant drummer
discovers that he is enthralled with
the sweetenss, and beauty of charm
ing young lady. Through her he learns
that she is about to loose tract of
land, and he at once takes steps to
protect her rights, and thereby runs
counter to his employer, who has laid
plans to obtain what the girl thinks is
worthless piece of real estate, but
which suddenly has assumed consider
able value, as it is needed by the rail
road company to complete some i'm
provements they have in view. Blake
jeopardizes his own position in es-
pousing the rights of the girl and this
leads to many interesting complica-
tions. The comedy of the play is of
the most delicious character, and never
before in the history of the stage has
there been play which includes so
many laughs as does "The Travelling
Salesman" So well does it depict the
life of the drummer on the road, that
it has won the endorsement of the
United Commercial Travellers If Amer
lea and the Travellers Protective Asso-
citation. If the success attained by
this play in New York and Chicago
is any criterion, crowded houses should
await it's advent in this city.

commercial paper created, and the cur
rency automatically expands; when
business contracts, commercial paper
is retired, and the currency contracts.
The business community always has
the currency it needs and no more.
Every working man and woman in
America should have the equivalent of
an insurance policy against dire dis
aster from financial panics. A coop
erative banking reserve will give this
insurance.

CONGRESS
GIVEN new LIFE BLOOD

Kansas City, Mo, Nov 16.-The del
egates to the Trans-M Mississippi con-
gress in Convention hall yesterday aft
ernoon decided a question which may
mean that hereafter the congress is
to play a role much more important
than hitherto in the national problems
of the United States.
Durign the twenty-five years of its
experience. the congress has held an
nual sessions, during which the great
issues of the day were discussed When
the congress adjourned its work and
problems were also adjourned until
the next session. But yesterday after
noon, when the delegates unanimous
ly adopted the new bylaws and amend
ments to the constitution of the organ
ization as drafted by John l.. Powell
of Wichita, chairman of the commit
tee on permanent organization, the con-
gress was given new life blood. Under
the plan adopted, the congress will be
a permanent organization and its great
work will go on the year round. Stand
ing committees appointed during its
annual meeting, will work on the So
luton of problems presented A per
manent headquarters will be establish
ed, with the probability that Kansas
City will be the city chosen. The an
nual sessions. however, will be held in
the different cities.
The radical change, however, is the
creation of sustaining membership of
about 1000 persons. This will be OBJ
tanned fro mthe different comercial
clubs throughout the country, each
member of the club paying 25 cents.
The club then will be allowed to send
two delegates to the annual sessions
of the congress for each 100 members
of the club.
In addition to this representative
membership, the governors of states
and territories will appoint twenty del
egates from each congressional dis
trict and twenty at large. The men,
bership is given further scope by the
power of the executive committee to
appoint 400 members at large. This
will permit all those desiring repre-
sentation to come in who otherwise
would not be available. Each member
of the congress so elected will pay Sc
a year toward the support of the or
ganization. This is the plan to create
a working capital which will produce
results.
When Mr.. Powell explained his plan
yesterday afternoon only small num-
ber of delegates were present. When
NJ. NJ Sweetman of Kansas City, who
presided, announced that the question
would be decided then, a stormy dis
cussion was started by the delegates
many of them having understood the
announcement made in the morning by
President Fred Fleming to mean that

viction in the case of Chas. Culver.

instructions that If one SOW in the lot
was docked she was not to be sold.
This occurred, il is charged, and then
Greenfeather took the SOW and sold
it to Andy Rider

Strength Comes
Not From What You Eat. But From
What You Digest.
A Tablet Digests a Meal. Trial Pack
age Free.


Most people eat most foods without
discrimination-it matters little what
Few stop to think what that food does
for them. This is the first turn on
the road to dyspepsia Reckless dis
regard of the proper choice of foods,
rapid eating and improper mastica-
ton, are the unquestioned causes of
all stomach disorders from the slight
ache to the malignant cancer.
There is nothing more revolving
than a dyspeptic stomach very vat
for putrefaction, sending forth it's
poison throughout the entire system,
depressing the brain, befouling the
breath, sOuring the taste, deadening
the muscles, incapacitating the liver
and kidneys for their work, debilitat-
ing the heart, choking the lungs and
cIogging the bowels
All of these disag reeable and dan
gerous conditions are due to the i'm
nroner digestion of food and the con-
else can be expected? If the food lies
in the stomach, if the system is con-
stipated, fermentation is the natural
outcome 1t shows itself in sour wat
cry risings, belchings. heartburn and
painful breathing
There is only one way to remove this
condition. If the stomach refuses to
digest your food put something into
it that will. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's are nothing but digestives. They
are not a medicine. They work when
the stomach will not.
Each tablet contains enough pepsin,
diastase, golden seal and other
digestive elements to reduce 1900
grains of ordinary food to the proper
consistency for assimilation into the
blood.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are alb
soIutely pure There is nothing harm
full in them as shown in their endorse
ment by 10000 physicians in the Unit
ed states and Canada
Ask your family physician his opin-
ion of -Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
if he is honest toward you he will
state positively that they will cure
your stomach trouble whatever it may
be. unless you have waited too long
and have allowed your disorder to de-
velop into cancer.
