It needs no argument to demon-

fHE VENEZUELAN controversy
was being discussed a few days
since by several gentlemen in the of-
fice of this paper when another who
had just entered became a participant
in the conversation lie said that in
1867 he lived in the country which
Great Britain is now claimlngaud had
a grant of upwards of a thousand acres
of land from the Venezuelan govern-
ment. Further than that the British
subjects who came in from British
Guiana procured permission to work
the mines from the same source.which
would seem to be conclusive evidence
of the recognition of Venezuela's
rights at that time. These mines the
gentleman said were ricli enougli for
him to wash out four dollars a day with
a wooden bowl. The country in about
twice the size of Texas is very pro-
ductive and the temperature owing
to the trade winds reasonably temper-
ate. There were millions of acres of
wild coffee orchards and a sugar cane
field which the speaker worked had not
been cut for several years but simply
fell down from its weight and the tops
started up again and continued grow-
ing. He thus had a solid mass of
cane several feet in depth which was
very rich in sugar. Bice was another
important product of that country.
Instead of plowing. all crops were
made with a hoe both the native
women and men working in the field.
The pay at that time was 25 cents a
day and board of two meals but one
American could do more in a day than
four natives. A certain caste line
however forbid the owner or even the
man who might lease it from working
in his field. The gentleman who was
speakng on being asked how lie came
to visit that country said he was a con-
federate soldier and at the close of the
war shipped from New Orleans witli
some companions for Brazil. ile
stayed there for awhile became a
Brazilian citizen and then went to
Venezuela where he also became nat-
uralized. But seeing no one in weeks
or perhaps months with whom lie
could converse in English soon became
unbearable and lie came back to the
United States. In turn the gentle-
man has been a citizen of the United
States the Confederate States Brazil
Venezuela the United States and the
Cherokee nation.
Ts)EIL THOMPSON a n-gro was
( drowned Christmas night at
Hall's old ranch on Rock creek three
miles above the mouth while endeav-
oring to cross the btream hor&etfack.
Mr. Clevinger's folks live near and
heard the man halloo and that is ail
that is known of the accident. The
horse saved itself and the man's body
was found at the ford next day. The
water had backed up making the
crossing quite deep but not swift. It
is more than likely not a few persons
were drowned as there are campers
along the streams all through this
country. It is reported that at Ft.
Gibson a woman was seen floating
down Grand river in a wagon body but
could not be rescued. It is truly to be
fcoped that this report i6 untrue.

BUD TRAINOR was killed at a
negro dance on Rab's creek west
of Oolagah last Thursday night. Of
late the young man had been drifting
back into his old habits of drinking
and on this occasion his purpose was
to break up the dance as reported.
There arc two stories reganling the
killing. One is that Trainor went to
the house thrust a pistol Into the
breast of Jack Rogers ami threatened
to kill him and that Rogers jerked the
pistol away and shot Trainor through
the head; that Trainor drew a second
pistol and fired a return shot before he
fell but missed. Another report is
that Trainor was sitting at a table
eating his supper and was killed with
a Winchester. Jack and Nick Rogers
and Tat Hawkins all negroes the
latter a porter at the Western hotel In
this city a short time ago were taken
to Ft. Smith Sunday afternoon by
John Taylor and his brother to answer
for the killing.
RS. ALICE M.DAVID of Le-
ivl Roy Kan gave a temperance
address Friday night Dec 20th at
Chouteau in the M. E. Church. She
was kindly received. Chouteau may
well be proud to have her name ad-
ded to the list or W. C. T T. workers
in the Indian Territory. A union was
organized with nineteen members
Mrs. A. O. Crainc president; Miss
iiattie Lindsay corresponding secre-
tary. In the spring the national W.
C. T. U. will send help though it is
not yet known who will come here.
Chouteau will be ready to open her
doors for the "stranger within her
gates." They will also be ready to re-
ceive any instructions offered them.
Q FLOOD-TIDE of religious fer-
2el vor seems to be sweeping over
this town and country and even now
a great religious revival is in progress
at the Methodist church in which all
the pastors and churches in town are
taking an active part. Evangelist
Robinson after preaching two weeks
witli great jwwer and efficacy was
called to his home in Arkansas Monday
by the sickness of his family but the
meeting is going on the pastors of the
different churches preaching alter-
nately. A number of conversions have
resulted and great interest is mani-
fested. T5 AILEY 1SIJELL was shot clear
Hy through the body Christinas af-
ternoon by George Cochran.at Catoosa
who is the marshal. He was alive at
last reports and it is not impossible
may recover. In company with two
other persons Isbell was riding down
the street drunk and while not
the chief offender like old Dog Tray
came to grief its a result of being in
bad company.

You
Mr. Customer
Are responsible for
this store's existence
and conduct. The
goods we send out
every day would al-
most stock an ordinary
store.
This is the only store
in Vinita so far as we
know where business
has doubled and treb-
led. This store has
nothing to hide a store
that makes no deal that
e its patrons need regret.
We have so many good
things to explain but
newspaper talk is so ex-
expensive that we in-
variably find our theory
blocked so just a mere
mention of'a few articles
in a spasmodic way has
to suffice. "

A Prosperous
....Year With Us
S.
Notwithstanding the general cry of hard times
throughout the land we are well pleased with the
treatment the public have shown us and instead'
of grumbling at our lot as others do we are happy
to state that this has been the banner year of our
business career.
Why are we so well satisfied while others howl
about dull trade and hard times?
w
First We have the money to do business on.
Second We buy our goods right and from the
right markets.
Third and lastly we are willing and do sell our
goods at a smaller profit than any house in
the territory thereby doing a volume of bus-
iness far in excess of anything we could hope
to do by asking war prices on what we sell.
Notwithstanding we have had a prosperous
year we have more goods all through our
house than we wish to invoice and in
order to move them quickly we have
marked them down FAR BELOW
THEIR ACTUAL VALUE.
