Q SAD ACCIDENT occurred at
.Ml Adair last Saturday afternoon
in which the 6-year-old son of J. W.
Skinner Jimmie lost his life. The
little fellow was out horseback riding
in company with two other small boys
and by some means fell with his foot
hanging in the stirrup; he was dragged
about fifty yards across the railroad
track and battered to death instantly
being lifeless when picked up a mo-
ment later. The interment took place
in the cemetery north of this city Sab-
bath afternoon.
HE ODD FELLOWS held thr-semi-annual
installation of c
cerslast Monday evening. The t ul-
cers chosen for the ensuing term are
as follows. Ed Jones N. G.; F. G.
Cowan V. G.; J. P. Scott treasurer;
L. P. Cass recording secretary; W. J.
Burnett permanent secretary. The
installation was conducted by District
Deputy H. It. Allen of this city. The
report of the closing term shows a
very satisfactory growth of Odd Fel-
lowship. The organization of a Camp
should be the next step.
ffipHE WATTS CITIZENSHIP as-
1 sociatlon or what little.tliere is
left of It met in convention in this
city last Saturday afternoon. W. J.
Watts was not present but Col. II. II.
Hubbaid was on hand to represent the
association. The handful of members
seen here Saturday in contrast with
the large attendance formerly tells
the tale of the dissolution of that erst-
while mighty organization. It is very
evident that the great mass of citizen-
ship claimants have lost interest and
have given up the fight for good and
all. The attorneys that have grown
wealthy off these people cannot fool
them longer. Judge Spriuger's decis-
ion settled forever the question of cit-
izenship with the most of them.
IHE HAYDEN postofllce robbery
P cases have" been on trial in the
commissioner's court this week. This
office kept by Henry Haydcn was
broken open the night of Dec 12 and
also a week later and in each case
postoffice money and property were
stolen. Ike Glass Dave Derrick
Chas. Landrum Napoleon Gibson
William and George Lynch all col-
ored are the accused and the last
named has made a confession. This
has grown to be a very bad neighbor-
hood and it will be no loss to its bet-
ter residents if a number of persons
are "sent over the road" for very good
long terms. It is said that unbranded
calves are as scarce iu that section as
the proverbial "hen's teeth" if once
they get out of the owner's sight.
X-GOVERNOR McCONNELL
likewise ex-senator of Idaho
one of the special agents sent out by
the interior department to investigate
the freedmen outrage spent a day or
two in the city this week. The gen-
tleman ib fully posted in all the de-
tails of that gigantic steal and ex-
presses himself in positive terms that
the work of the Kern committee will
be set aside and a new and correct
roll of freedmen made. He also is
of the opinion that the United States
will have to reimbuie the Cherokees
for the money paid to freedmen who
shall be hereafter shown to have no
rights to Cherokee citizenship.
But while we were especially im-
pressed with the full and accurate In-
formation Gov. McConncll bad pos-
sessed himself of with reference to
the subject which he is investigating
we could not fail to note his woeful
lack of knowledge of the citizenship
question where Cherokee blood was
the test. If we understood the gov-
ernor correctly he takes the broad
ground that Cherokee citizenship can-
not be forfeited by removal from the
Cherokee nation or in any other man-
ner. Perhaps if the gentleman had
studied the citizenship question as
Judge Springer or Judge Thomas or
Capt. McKennon of the Dawes com-
mission he would modify his views.

40 YEARS THE STANDARD.
fHE MATTER of incorporation of
this city under the federal stat-
ute is of course being discussed among
all classes of the residents of town.
Some are opposed to incorporation at
present; others arc anxious that no
time be lost in taking the proper
steps for becoming a city with all the
privileges that would accrue from such
organizatien. Of course the time will
come when the incorporation of Vinita
will be a necessity as it is to soon be
a city of no mean importance. It
sbsuld be the aim of all good citizens
to do their part as individuals to bring
about a better state of affairs morally
and politically than have existed here-
tofore. Already the chronic office
seekers both citizen and non-citizen
arc industriously 'trimming their sails'
for office when the new incorporation
is effected and it is quite likely that
some of them will be .chosen as the
average business mau and citizen has
neither the time nor inclination to
run forofflcc. The real voting stiength
of the town will be hard to bring out
as there are so many men who are
such moral cowards as to prefer a trip
to the country or a day in bed to
walking up to the pol's and voting
their sentiments. This condition of
affairs has come about largely on ac-
count of the loose and disorganized
state of political affairs in (he Indian
country. Some professional men seem
to be here solely to make money and
do not consider that they owe any-
thing to church or state. The fires
of patriotism have not burned as
brightly in Abe hearts of many other-
wise good citizens as they should and
probaDly will under a new regime.
The proper enforcement of the law by
those who are inducted into office
should be the great desideratum and
when that is done reasonably well the
average citizen will be satisfied. We
are not entering upon a millenium
period and no one must expect too
much but that the moral standard
should be raised a little higher prob-
ably none will deny. So let us act de-
liberately aud with discretion and
let the movement be upward and on-
ward to a better plane of existence.

To the Public.
I have this day sold out all my In-
struments office fixtures practice
etc. to Dr. W. R. Straw and will re-
tire from practice for the purpose of
devoting my attention to my other
business which demands it. I bespeak
for Dr. Straw my successor a contin-
uation of the favors extended to me
as you will find him a gentleman well
qualified and in every way worthy of
your confidence.

LIGHT FANTASTIC EFFECTS.
Titer Are the Idenl of the Embroidery
of the Comlns Season.
The keynote to the coming season's
decorations is lightness and brightness
combined. Everything is to be gay.
There is a subdued glitter about even
the richest ornament. Pillows banner-
ets shades screens and all manner of
holders are etched out -with spangles or
tinsel and the designs applied to them
either in embroidery or water-colors
are sprightly and fanciful.
Paris Bends the quaintest little can-
dle shades with more width than
length and with a zigzag bordering of
spangles and a bright little French
scene done in colors for a center piece.
Lamp shades no matter how largo or
cleverly ornamented are starred with
iridescents or they have Inlaid work
about the edges that sparkles with gilt
cat steel or silver. Grotesque designs
are introduced in this way and the effect
is novel and bizarre.
A unique sofa cushion newly exe-
cuted has a trio of ballet girls on its
white satin Burface. Instead of heavy
painstaking' embroidery with set
stitches and miles of floss silk this novel
style of work is done with dash and
originality. The figures of the dancers
are well drawn in the beginning then
they are simply etched out in blaok.
The spangled gauze that forms the
triple layer of ballet skirt is genuine
black-spangled gauze applied to the
satin background. The low-cut bodloes
of the dancers are outlined and filled in
with heavy-raised threads. The scar-
let stockings are worked up-and-down
fashion with long stitches that fill in
easily. The jaunty waists are spangled
also. What perhaps gives the most
natural touch to the figures is the elab-
orately arranged powdered hair all
puffs and curls cleverly produced with
a knotted stitch done in blond-colored
lusterless silk. The faces of the ballet
dancers are of course left much to the
imagination being merely outlined on
a flesh-colored surface but the pose of
the red-stockinged figures is so life-
like that the effect is spirited and pleas-
ing. No visitor could remain in a bad
humor long with those gay figures look-
ing from the sofa cushions. One partic-
ular cushion was of thick white satin
with a dull red for the reverse side and
a filling and bordering' of the color of
the ballet stockings. "
Another novel sofa cushion shows
three cats In black holding golf stloks in
their paws. Cats are for luck as all the
world knows and these cats are etched
out and filled in with the same airy
grace that distinguishes the ballet
dancers. Other cats have tennis
racquets but none of these designs is
worked according to the rules of em-
broidery. The figures are expected to
caper for a season on these cushions
and wall banners and then only to
be relegated to obscurity.
The newest photograph frames show
b heavy band of gold tinsel drawn
across the top and tied in a flat prim
bow. These frames are made of straight
up-and-down stripes in gay colors mfter
the Louis XVI. style. They are nnore
novel than pretty. X. Y. Sun.
HOMEMADE GOWNS.
Accomplishment Which Many- Well-to-Do
"Women Have Acqnlned.
A surprising number of well-d ressed
women you meet are arrayed in cos-
tumes manufactured by their own
hands. Some of the smartest c.r cling
costumes worn are "homemade"" ns are
many handsome street and evening
dresses. Yet so well and eo cl cverly
are they constructed that there is never
a hint of "homemadeness" about them.
It used to be much more so thaniat the
present time so that those who could
not afford the services of a dress maker
were the ones who made their own
clothes. Indeed it was not unu $uai to
hear a woman boastfully remark that
she could not thread a needle or sew
a straight seam so ignorant ras aha
of sewing. Xowadays many wollfto-do
women consider it a great accomplish-
ment to be able to be lndepenclent of
dressmakers. They have learned how
to sew how to cut and fit and drape.
Their sewing rooms are fisted with
modern appliances. There is a form
over which skirts may be hung and
adjusted; a bust form over which cor-
sages may be draped and. arranged is
one of the necessary adjrmcts. Where
the home dressmaker hrts not supplied
herself with a "system" she is guided
in her cutting by patterns.
It is the woman of limited means who
derives the greatest benefit from know-
ing how to sew well; far oftentimes the
expense of a dress is no in the materia!
but in the making. Therefore she who
makes her own dresses may afford two
dresses for the price of owe. Home

Dear with the Idttle Obm.
Children are undoubtedly very
troublesome at times in asking- ques-
tions and should without doubt be
taught not to interrupt conversation in
company. Hut this resolution being-
made we question the policy of with-
holding an answer at any time from-
the active mind which must find bo
many unexpected daily and hourly-
mysteries. They whohave cither learned
to solve these mysteries or have be-
come indifferent as to an explanation
are not apt to look compassionately
enough upon this eager restlessness
on the part of children to penetrate
causes and trace effects. "By giving
due attention to these "troublesome
questions" a child's truest education
may be carried on. Have a little pa-
tience then and sometimes think how
welcome to you would be a translation
if you were suddenly dropped into
some foreign country where the lan-
guage was for the most port unintel-
ligible to you and you ware bursting
with curiosity about every strange ob-
ject that met your eye. X. Y. Ledger.

Alnaknn Indian Dance.
Alaskan Indians are very fond of'
dancing and although some of them
understand the dances of modern civili-
zation they all prefer the dance of their
forefathers. This mainly consists in
jumping around in a circle the center
of which Is occupied by the musician.
The latter beats a drum which is gen-
erally made of an Iron kettle with mus-
lin or some similar fabric stretched
over the head and tightened by means
of a paste of flour and water. The beat-
ing of this drum Is accompanied with a
chanting of the wax songs passages of

THE GIRL FIXED HIM.
When IheCondnctorFurnUhed Pri'cl
It Warn Sufficient.
She was on a train westward bound
from New York and traveling in her
party was a fresh young1 man from the
second largest city in the United States
who was disposed to guy Chicago and
Chicago people as persons of his en-
vironment are inclined to do.
She rather permitted his little jolly-
ing at the beginning of the trip having
better manners than he had but she
began to grow weary after awhile and
sought to get even.
It happened at a station about 50
miles out from Chicago when a man
weighing at least 350 pounds and not
under six feet Ave inches in height
came aboard the train.
A few minutes later the young man
from Neiw York who had been out in
the smoking compartment came back
to the young woman from Chicago.
"I presume you saw the passenger
we took aboard a few minutes ago?"
he said to her.
"The big man?" she asked.
"Yes."
"Oh yes I saw him."
"He's just like everything else with
you too much overgrown."
"Why do you say 'with you?' I don't
know anything abouthim."
"But he is a Chicago man."
"Oh no he Isn't" and the girl was
very confident.
"I beg your pardon" insisted the
New Yorker "I heard the cond uctor eay
he was."
"I say he isn't" persisted the girl
"and I'll bet you something on it. What
do you say to a dozen pair of gloves
and ten pounds of candy to a pearl
scarf pin?"
"Done" laughed the young man
"and 111 go and get the conductor. Will
his word settle It?"
"Of course" and he went after the
conductor who had a home in Chicago
himself.
When the conductor arrived on the
scene the girl took him in hand at
once.
"You understand" she said "that
this gentleman says that large party
is a Chicago man and I say he is not?"
"I do" replied the conductor as if he
were under oath.
"Very good. I say he isn't a Chicago
man because he is only a Chicago boy.
Isn't that correct?"
"It Is" said the conductor solemnly
and the entire car load of passengers
xose as one man and told the New
Yorker that he had lost the bet. and if he
didn't want to go back enst feet fore-
most he had better pay it.
Which he did. Washington Star.
