She was united in marriage with

lived with them on the farm. She

member of Orient Chapter, No. IS,
o. E. S. at Baton and later a mem
Der of Intervale Chapter, No. LOG, o.
E. S.. at Orleans. She was a loving
wife and mother, thoroughly devoted
to her calling, and a hard working
woman who never spared herself, but
gave of her energy far beyond her
strength.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her
husband, John w. Brennan;ia daugh-
ter, Mrs. Harry Bailey, and son,
Maurice, both of Irasburg; six sis
ters, Mrs. Kershner of Ottawa, Kan;

INDIAN LASHING RECALLS
LAW OF CHOCTAW TRIBE
Superintendent of Five Tribes
Tells of Whipping Posts on
Oklahoma Reservation.

A recent whipping administered at
Victor M. Locke, Jr., superintendent OF
the five civilized tribes and one of the
leading members of the ChOctaw tribe.
served to recall to the Indian superin-
tendent's mind a custom that many
years ago was pursued by the Choc-
taws to punish their members when
they were found doing evil.
This punishment consisted of pub
lie thrashing for the offender and SUI
the last legal punishment of this kind
administered by the Choctaws. 1t took
place in 1899 at Alikachi, and the vic
tim was full-blood who had been con-
victed in the tribal courts of stealing
'roan setting hem
The chicken in question was dom1-
nique hen. There was no word in the
Choctaw language for dominique, so
the indictment was worded to read
"roan" hen instead, that being the
nearest accurate description that
could be supplied.
The Indian was given 80 lashes on
the bare back with hickory switches. =
Superintendent Locke says that up
to 1900 the Choctaw tribe kept three
whipping posts to control Offenders.
One was located at Alikachi, another
on the forks of Boggy creek and a
third three miles south of Wilburton.
Although the Choctaws had jails, they
were seldom used, as trials moved so
swiftly and sentences were so quickly
imposed that the jails were of little
use.
Under the old Choctaw law person
convicted for horse stealing was given
100 lashes for the first offense. If the
offense was repeated and the defend
ant convicted, he was shot to death, as
the Choctaws never resorted to hang
ing.
In the Cherokee nation capital pun
ishment was executed by hanging

Congregational Church Notes
Rev. r. A. Hamilton, Pastor

AS a result of the canvass for
church attendance, 1873 signed cards
have been turned in to date. This on
the basis of an actual resident mem
bership at, Orleans of 120 is consider
ed an excellent record. Of the 1873
signers, 80 classified themselves as
regular attendants, AZ as frequent,
and SO as occasional attendants. The
most gratifying result of the canvass
is to be seen in the marked increased
attendance at the Sunday morning
service.
The offering for Russian relief will
be kept open for one week so that
anyone who has not contributed to
the fund will have chance to do so
during the week or on next Sunday.

FAVE NEW ORE TREATMENT
Experiments May Prove Valuable to
Mining Men.

Experiments May Prove Valuable to
Mining Men.
Mining men of the Black Hills, in
South Dakota as we'll as those of the
mining districts of Colorado and other
districts of the West, will watch with
deep interest experiments in the treat
ment and handling of what are termed
rebellious ores, with the object of saw
ing all the values in gold, silver, lead,
antimony and the semi-precious met
ais.
One of the new processes for the
treatment and handling of these ores
will soon be in operation in Denver,
Colo, plans for this, it is reported to
mining men of the Black Hills, having
been perfected.
A company has been organized for
the erection of a plant near Denver, in
which the new process will be given
a trial on scale that would prevail
were the ores handled being treated
In commercial quantities. The discOv-
erer of the process asserts that it has
passed the experimental stage and he
expresses himself as being confident
that the trials will fully demonstrate
it's worth and value to mining districts
which have large quantities of these
so-called rebellious ores.
Experiments in the treatment of re-
bellious ores also are being made In
the Spruce Gulch district of the Black
Hills. Those who have witnessed
tests of the process on small quanti-
ties of rebellious ore are very hopeful
that it will prove a success when large
quantities of this class of ore are be-
ing treated.
