Justice Fuller. eyes °f other states and other
It was learned from reliabl
and authentic sources Monday
night that a motion will imme-
diately be made for a review.
The decision as rendered holds
that all white men that married
Cherokee women prior to the
year 1877 and paid $500 into the
coffers of that nation's treasury
for the rights to citizenship are
entitled to enrollment as inter-
married Cherokee citizens. The
court also stated that all white
husbands of Cherokee women
who have abandoned their wives
have by such acts, forfeited all
claims to such intermarried citi-
zenship.
The case was that of Daniel
Red Bird, et al vs the United
States. The Dawes Commission
thus far has enrolled about 1100
Cherokee intermarried citizens,
About 200 will be entitled to al-
lottments.
SUIT AGAINST FREEDMEN.
Tulsa, I. T., November 6.—A
suit will be filed at once in the
United States court to deprive
the freedmen in the Cherokee
nation of their right to allot-
ments. An announcement was
made tonight by local represen-
tatives of attorneys in the inter-
married white case of the Chero-
kees, which was decided adverse-
ly to the whites by the United
States Supreme Court today.
The suit will effect thousands of
negroes in the Cherokee nation,
also many whites who have pur-
chased freedman's land.
HOW SOME PEOPLE PUMP.
A boy went after a pail of
water says an exchange. It was
necessary to prime the pump and
give a dozen strokes at the hand-
le to start the water. He poured
in the priming water and pumped
out as much as he poured in, then
he stopped to rest and the prim-
ing ran down agaiu. After two
or three ihours of pumping and
resting he concluded that it did
^not pay to pump and therefore
gave up in digust. The story re-
minds one of the merchant who
advertised and then stopped a
while and allowed the people to
forget him and his business be-
fore he advertised again and
concluded it did not pay to ad-
vertise. The fact is the pump
lost its priming while he rested.
nations. Well may our estate be
the envy of the world. No na-
tion on earth has known during
the last half century a more fa-
vorable and eventful year than
has the United States the year
now closing. We are at peace
at home and highly respected
abroad. No state in the Union
has greater reason for thanksgiv-
ing than has Oklahoma. State-
hood is at least a glorious assur-
ance and the favor of Heaven
has rested upon our fertle prair-
ies and continually gone before
our people everywhere. Toil has
its reward in prosperity and con-
tentment. The standards of civ-
ic honesty are high and the as-
surance of continued good gov-
ernment is ours. This assurance
and the quality and degree of
our prosperity throughout the
Territory call for gratitude un-
confined.
The people of the United States
may in part prove the reality of
their thankfulness and their ex-
pectation of future blessings by
a full and appropriate observance
of this anniversary. That we as
a nation are grateful for our
wellbeing and reverent toward
the Great Giver, we may best at-
test by a high degree of national
honor, national pride, and quality
of national achievement. This
we as a state are thankful for
the kindly disposition of our af-
fairs in government and in our
daily business we may best show
by pledging our heartiest en-
deavor to keep the state above
reproach and high in the equality
of states and by keeping this
pledge unbroken. Withal, final-
ly, the return of this Thanksgiv-
ing day reminds us t^at we can
best convince the Almighty of
the sincerity of our gratitude by
putting into the sum of human
progress as indivinuals, that
which will, so far as each of us
is concerned, send the world far-
thest on its way forward and up-
ward.

The autumn time is with us! It's approach
Was heralded, not many days ago,
By hazy skies that veiled the brazen sun,
And sea-like murmurs from the rustling
corn,
And low-voiced brooks that wandered
drowsily
By purpling clusters of the juicy grape,
Swinging upon the vine. And now, 'tis
here,
And what a change hath passed the face
Of Nature, where thy waving forests
spread.

Then robed in the deepest green!
through the night
The subtle frost hath plied its mystic art.
And in the day the golden sun hath
wrought
True wonders; and the wings of morn and
even
Have touched with magic breath the cling-
ing leaves.
And now, as wanders the dilating eye
Athwart the varied landscape circling far,
What gorgeousness, what blazonry, what
pomp
Of colors, bursts upon the ravished sight!
Here, where the maple rears its yellow
crest,
A golden glory; yonder, where the oak
Stands monarch of the forest, and the ash
Is girt with flame-like parasite, and broad
The dog-wood spreads beneath a rolling
field
Of deepest crimson; and afar, where looms _
J The gnarled gum, a cloud of bloodiest red! ▼
