PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY

Entered nt the postoffice at Chelsea,
Ind. Ter., for tr u niiMion through
the iiiuila* us second-clus* matter.
91.QO A YEAR,
There is no reasonable excuse
for any man to live in town if
he doesn't like it. If you have
no word of commendationto say
for your town, its institutions or
people, emigrate. You won't
stop the sun by going away.
The church bells will have the
same musical ring, the little dog ,
home at the Weekly Star Office.
—Nowata Star.
Wrong, Brother I^amb, as to
the first gas engine in this sec-
tion of the country, the Chelsea
Reporter has had a gas engine
in its office for more than two
weeks now. But we are glad to
SB rVeli? aid the | know that you have at tat got
pure air, bright sunshine and one of those labor saving, pro-
WoNDERif Tulsa will extend
her city limits so as to include
Mounds, too, since the discovery
of oil there?
Among the many good things
the Catoosan mentions as being
in Catoosa, is a good, live up-to
date post office and a telegraph
station. What good live town
would want more?
Senator Warner, of Kansas
City, has in our estimation solv-
ed the problem of the Indian
Territory land. He has intro-
duced a bill removing restrictions
from all classes of Indians ex-
cept full-bloods and minors.
The question as to whether
the Panama canal should be|built
above, below or on a sea level
has at last been settled, and the
canal will be built on the sea
level. This will save pumping
water in or pumping water out
and some one is out a good job
by this decision.
The Catoosan shows marked
improvement under the pretty
management of Miss Lynette
Dean. She is giving Catoosa a
good paper.—Pryor Creek Clip-
per.
Didn't your printer make a
mistake and get the 'manage-
ment of' and 'pretty' tr, in the
above? If not, where is your
gallantry?
Now that the New York ho-
tels have thrown out Maxim
Gorky, the Russian author, be-
cause he is traveling with a
woman who is not his legal wife,
wonder what they will do with
those people whose divorces are
declared null and who are living
with companions to whom they
are not legally married. Will
they be evicted also?—Vinita
Leader.
The following from the Col-
linsville Times is the best piece
of advice we have seen for some
. time. It is about equal to Hen-
sley's advice "If you don't want
to read such news don't make
it."
Take what is due you and
don't be a baby. If you have
done things that merit censure
and disapproval do not expect to
escape and do not whine when
you get "yourn."
Nothing doing yet in the
Wickliff line. The marshals are
still in the hills drawing a good
big salary, but are going rather
slow toward completing their
work. The marshals are like a
lot of our other office holders
they do not want to draw any-
thing but their salary, and when
it comes to drawing the fire of
the enemy they would rather
some one else weuld do that.
They are playing one half the
Nighthawk gang against the
other with the chances about a
million to one in favor of the
other half.

sparkling water will have the
same health giving properties.
Speak a good word for your
neighbor, if you can; if you can-
not. don't everlastingly enlarge
on his faults. If you have become
thoroughly disgruntled, move
away; go somewhere where
things will suit you. - Roff Eagle.
This is the only way the class
of men referred to could really
help a town, and you may be
sure they will not do it.
The Leader notes with some
amusement that Secretary
Hitchcock is after the Standard
Oil trust and will not permit it
to get its claws on the Indian
Territory oil fields. Secretary
Hitchcock as a friend of the
poor is a different man, it would
seem, from the Secretary Hitch-
cock who toured this country in
the finest private car in the
United States, said car being
furnished by the head of the
brewers' trust. Secretary Hitch-
cock has evidently been basely
maligned and is truly a great
and good man whose only aim
is to knock out the grasping
corporations. Of course the
glass trust of which he is a mem-
ber is not included as it is one of
the "good" trusts the republican
party doesn't intend to punish. —
Vinita Leader.
The assault and murder of
14-year-old Hazel McKenney, at
Cave Springs last Thursday,
again emphacizes the fact that if
it is known to a certainty that
such a thought ever dwells for
a moment in the brain of such a
being, there should not be a
moment's delay in taking them
out and hanging them to the
nearest tree. - This brute had
just ser.s3 enough to know the
punishment he deserved, and
saved the citizens the trouble by
taking his own life. Such a
death is too good for this class of
men, and they should be made
to suffer all the tortures they
have inflicted upon their victim.
Let us hope that the good, law
abiding citizens who have not
read the story of this assault will
do so, and see if they can find
one iota of sympathy in their
hearts for this class of men.

The Reporter has always
been the best advertising medium
in this part of the Cherokee Na-
tion, and if this has been true in
the past, it is doubly true now.
In the past two months the Re-
porter has more than doubled
its subscription list in and around
Chelsea, and the list is growing
every day, thereby making space
worth more than double the
amount to the advertisers. The
price of space has not been ad-
vanced one cent, nor will it be
for some time to come. The
merchants who patronize our
columns reach the majority of
the people who trade in our town
and it is safe to say the people
do the majority of their trading
with the firms whose advertise-
ments are found in these col-
umns. Get in line and get
space in the columns of this rap-
idly growing paper. Let the
people know you are here, and
your trade will grow as the Re
porter grows, and we are not
going to stop growing until we
put the paper in every home in
Chelsea and the surrounding
country.
Babies Cheaper than Pups.
The following is an extract
from a sermon by Rev. Randolph
Cook of the Christian church,
preached at Tulsa last Sunday
"The past centuries has wit-
nessed notable advances in
knowledge, skill and industry;
and we contend that results
should be seen in shorter hours,
cheaper products and better
men. But the facts are that
the cheapest thing on earth to-
day is labor, and this means that
human life is cheap. A human
baby is cheaper than a pup. A
baby can be secured anywhere
for nothing, but a well bred pup
will cost you from $25 to $100.

or the coal being full of clinkers.

There is nothing just as good
for Malaria, ChillB and Fever as
Dr. Mendenhall's Chill and
Fever Cure. Take it as a gener-
al tonic and at all times in place
of quinine. If it fails to give

Steve Minshall who was
postmaster at Collinsville until
recently, was sentenced to six
months in the Fort Smith jail for
embezzelment. He plead guilty
but said it was his intention to
return the money. There are
thousands of men in our jails and
penitentiaries to-day for th«
same offense, and why should
not a man take his punishment
even if he did intend to return
the money? We '.now nothing
of the case only the bare fact
that Minshall plead guilty and
therefore ought to be punished
like any other crimenal. His
apparent standing at Collinsville
makes the case look even worse
than if he had not been a popul-
ar man.
Following the recent report
of two of the worst assaults in
the history of Missouri we print
an article from the Times-Jour-
nal of Oklahoma, describing the
return to his home of a gentle-
men who had helped avenge thie
crime against the women of our
land. He returns as a hero and
not as a criminal. Thus should
it ever be:
Monte Ballard, after serving
seven years in the military pris-
on at Leavenworth, returned
home last week and was given
the reception of a prince upon
his return to Maud, Oklahoma,
his former home. Hundreds of
citizens met at the school house
to greet him, bands played, elo-
quent speeches in eulogy of his
alleged martyrdom were indulged
in, a sumptuous feast was pre-
pared and the ladies gave him
elaborate floral offerings. His
crime was an alleged participa-
tion in the lynching of two In-
dians for assaulting a white
weman.

Russian's Demand on the Czar.
St. Petersburg, May 17.—The
draft of an address to the throne

The flour mill has been rebuilt
and is now in the hands of the
painters. This is one of the en-
terprises that has given Chelsea
such a good name, and it fills us
with pride to know that the
Chelsea Milling company now
has one of the largest and best
equipped mills in the Territory.

Co., phone 42, and get a sack of

A farmer's wife near Chand-
ler drove over the bridge the
other day and was drowned.
Her husband went up the stream
from the bridge in search of the
body. He told his story to a
fisherman and inquired if he had
seen a woman's body floating.
The fisherman told him to go
down stream and he would no
doubt fine her, whereupon the
farmer replied that she was so
contrary she would not float the
way the current went.—Africo-
