The First Fall Opening of
the Season.
A GREAT SHOWING.
A Healthy State of Trade at
Vinita.
The prettiest attraction of the
fall season was the Millinery open-
ing at the Jumbo Store last even-
ing. It was a buccess from every
point of view. Both humelolks
and strangers decided it so. The
criticisms ol the people were al-
most unanimous it was all right
everybody was delighted. Miss
Bertha Hayward who has charge
of the Millinery assisted by Miss
Myrtle Webl. and Miss Kennedy
made and trimmed every hat which
was on exhibition last evening. A
great deal of j;ood taste was shown
in selecting their handsome stock
of Millinery this tall. In the mil-
linery window was a handsome
arch of white and yellow with a
beautiful background oi smilax.
In the center was a large doll
dressed in white wearing hat with
all the style of the season. The
Dry goods window was pretty the
arrangement of which was very
artistic. A beautiful life like doll
stood in the center of this dressed
in full evening dress. Plaid skirt-
ings waist to match handsome
patterns of crepon and with them
a suggestion tor suitable waist to
match were also there presided
over by Mrs. Will Ward. Further
down we met the pleasant gentle-
man Mr. Ed Rhea who has
charge of all the staple dry goods.
Here we found a neat 6trictly up
to date stock. The Clothing de-
partment was decorated for the oc-
casion and in this we found every-
thing in the clothing line that
could be asked for. The window
of same showed much good taste
of the artist Mr. John O. Davis.
In the Furnishing goods depart-
ment as UBUal whether you are
"a-'ookin" or "a-tradin" we found
everything neat and in order.
Sank knows bow to keep them.
The entire shoe side was covered
with white with mirrors on same.
ThiB with the hat stands between
the mirrors made quite a pretty
picture. John Harlin had every-
thing on this side "just right."
The center tables were cleared
and hats of all kinds were on same
down the entire length of the
store. MiBS Dolle Ledbetter the
pleasant young lady cashier as-
sisted in making the opening a
success. Mr. Churchill could be
found most everywhere making
things pleasant for everyone.
Beautiful roses and a neat alum-
inum Bhoppers'memorandum.were
given as souvenirs to all the
ladies. The employes of the
Jumbo Store should feel proud of
their efforts which made this
opening such a success for indeed
it was.
A NEAT SOUVENIR.
The Jumbo Store Issues a Handsome
Aluminum Note Book.
"Lud" Churchill the energetic
and progressive buyer of the Jum
bo store Vinita sent his friend
Jim Jump one of the aluminum
covered note books which the com-
pany is giving away to the trade
for advertising purposes. It is one
of the most elegant and neatest
souvenirs the Gazette has seen is-
sued from a retail (or wholesale)
store in a long time and it proves
that there are a lot of people down
in the territory who are not afraid
to advertise. The Gazette hIiouM
liku to see more advertising from
the Jumbo. It is sure to be good.
Levied on a Tombstone.
George Shaffer of Vagoncr has
levied on a tombstone the property
of Ellis Childcrs the ex-treasurcr of
the Creek nation now serving sen-
tence in the penitentiary at Jefferson
City on account of the fraudulent
warrant deals.
His Life Was Saved.
Mrs. J. E. Lilly a prominent citizen
of Hannibal Mo. lately had a won-
derful deliverance from a fitghtful
il.ilh Tn nll!n. rt It-. Im covf T-j
was taken sick with typhoid fever
that ran into pneumonfa. My luns
became hardened. I was so weak I
couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing
helped me. I expected to somi die of
consumption when I heard of Dr.
King's New Discovery. One bottle
gave great relief. I continued to use
It and now am well and strong I
can't say too much In its praise."
This marvelous medicine is the surest
and quickest cure in the world for all
throat and lung trouble. Regular
Fire 50 cent and SI- Trial Imttles Jree
at A. "V. Foreman's ami People's
drug store every bottle guaranteed.
Of all the weeks it has been pub-
lished the current issue of The
Weekly Chieftain is uuique. It
has perhaps contained a greater
quantity of advertising because
a single firm has on two occa-
sions used two pages in an issue.
But the current issue surpasses all
former ones in number of adver-
tisers using large space. Two mer-
chants take a page each and four
or five other firms use from one
column up to four with the usual
quota of smaller ads. without
which the paper could hardly ex-
ist. This issue makes a fine show-
ing of Vinita'8 business interests
and tells of progress and prosper-
ity and of a wholesome condition
of trade as nothing alee could tell.
It is notice to the world that busi-
ness is conducted on broad above-
board lines and carries assurance
to the purchasing public that at
Vinita there are unlimited oppor-
tunities for selection and that at
"prices always right."
NOBODY BID ON THE HAY.
Revenue Officers Encounter
Difficulty.
A rather curious proceeding took
place down in the Katy yards in
the south side of town yesterday
afternoon at 5 o'clock. Two cars
of hay had been seized by the gov-
ernment inspector and were to be
offered for sale at auction. In-
spector Frank C. Churchill an
uounced to the crowd assembled
that the hay was held in default
of payment of royalty and would
be bold and the money applied to
the payment of the legal royalty
and to defray tho expenses of the
sale. B. F. Rasmus went to the
cars broke the seals and opened
them up. James Leforce then an-
nounced that one car had been sold
to a man at Quincy 111. and the
party purchasing from the inspect-
or would certainly purchase a good
sized lawsuit. Mr. Hall made a
similar statement as to the other
car only the revenue on it had
been paid and it was now being
held for tax on cars shipped here-
tofore.! No one bid on either car and the
sale was adjourned till 6 o'clock
this afternoon at which time it will
again be offered to the highest bid-
der and from time to time till pur-
chased. THE END IN SIGHT.
A SERIOUS LOSS.
Spaulding Institute Burned
Last Night.
The mam building together with
the gymnasium of Spaulding In-
stitute. Muskogee formerly Har-
rell Institute was burned early
last night. The fire originated in
the gymnasium where some chil-
dren had been playing shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock. Most of the furni-
ture and all the books and supplies
were saved and the boys' dormi-
tory escaped. The total Iops will
it is said be about $35000 with
$20000 insurance. The school will
be rebuilt at once. Arrangements
had recently been made for the ex-
penditure of about 810000 in im-
provements and this amount ad-
ded to the $20000 insurance will
give a very good fund for starting
the work At the recent opening
the institution was very full and
the prospects for a successful term
were most flattering. Boys who
persisted in smoking and against
the rules at that are said to be re-
sponsible for the fire.
A gentleman who witnessed the
fire is authority for the statement
that two barrels of water judicious-
ly applied at an early stage of the
fire would have saved the main
building. Let us have water-
works before the same thing is
repeated here.

A Cherokee School Will
Probably be Opened.
The school matter appears to be
about adjusted. A member of the
city school board stated last night
that the Cherokee authorities had
never accepted the proposal of the
Vinita school board relative to
maintaining a teacher Hnd that he
did not believe Viuita would ever
get the Cherokee money. This
being the case it will be in order
for the Cherokee authorities to ap-
point a teacher and have the
Cherokee public school opened at
once. This will provide school
facilities (or every Cherokee child
within a radius of three miles.
EXCEEDINGLY FORTUNATE.
Lawyers Pleased That Judge Spring-
er Is to Hold Court.
The lawyers are generally of the
opinion that it will be exceedingly
fortunate for the Cherokee nation
as well as for the whole Northern
district to have Judge Springer
hold the next term of court at Vi
nita. There is a vast amount of
civil buMness that will come be-
fore the court during the coming
term that concerns the Indian
citizens especially and Judge
Springer has been a close student
of the condition hero and under-
stands them as does no one else.
Tho finishing up and rounding out
of the judicial business begun by
himself will be a great boon to the
Cherokee people.
An old lady perhaps CO years of aj;e
died in a wagon at the crossing of Bull
