BEGINS SATURDAY JAN. 12.
It's a Cash Sale! The Sale of the Season! First Sale of the Century!
It is our intention to close out every item in our store belonging: to the Fall and Winter season. We have taken out and clas-
sified the goods in every department fo it will be no trouble to you to find just what we adyertise. In many instances the lots
are small. The small lots will be sold out without any reference to their original cost. Read over our lists carefully and see if
you don't find something you want. If you do it-will be at a lower price than you have ever bought similar goods.
Clothing Hats Furnishings
In this department you will
see values not shown in any
other store in Vinita. We ex-
pect to materially reduce our
clothing stock and we know of
but one way to successfully re-
duce stock and that is to lower
the price to where the people
will buy the goods. In our
clothing department we have
lowered the pricey r"r below
the actual value of'trfe goods.
A glance through this depart-
ment will convince the most
skeptical of this fact.

BADGETT'S THE GOOD GOODS STORE.
HANDS OFF.
H
There is much in the altitude of
the congress of the United States
with reference to the work of die
Dawes commission in the Indian
territory that is highly digusting
to the intelligent individual who is
conversant with the real conditions
here. That the task is a slow and
tedious one is admitted by all but
it is vastly more complicated than
the average member of tho house
or senate is able to conceive. The
same spirit of impatience that
characterized and called into ex
istence the South McAlister state-
hood convention is shared by con-
gressmen unacquainted with the
conditions. The idea prevails
throughout the states that there is
a vast domain of government land
to be opened here and that the
Dawes commission is in somo
vague maimer responsible for the
delay. To cripple the commis-
sion now by withholding the neces-
sarry appropriation would be a
piece of folly unpardonable. To
chide the members for the slow
ness of the work has the ear marks
of the boomer and not of the
statesman. If the work is com-
pleted within the next five years
the commission must have liberal
appropriations and be allowed to
proceed nilh the work unhindered
hi the clamor of the impatient
political huckster who only wants
to lengthen the pie counter. Keep
hands off the Dawes commission
and the work will be completed in
due time.
Our
THE VITAL ISSUE.
Tho foremost question with
Cherokees at this time is whether
the agreement ratified by the sen-
ate last Saturday will be accepta-
ble to a majority of the voters of
the tribe or not. Until a copy of
the printed treaty as it coaies from
the conference committoe is re-
ceived it is impossible to form an
intelligent opinion as to whether
it will be ratified by the Chero-
kees. There were three things in
this Rj-reen;ent a it passed tho
lower house of congress at the last
session that are particularly dis-
tasteful and either of which would
be sufficient to defeat the measure
at the polls. Tho confiscation of
tho public buiUjings of the Chero-
kee nntion the clause relating to
mineral leases and the eighty acre
allotment proposed. If .the treaty
iu submitted to c popular yote of
tho Cherokees with theso features
eliminated it would bo ratified by
an overwhelming majority as was
the Muskogee agreement. The
burning issue with the Cherokees
now is lo obtain a favorable set-
tlement of all their business and
to secure the individual allotment
of the lands which are now held
in common.
The act of the Cherokee National
Council contracting with W. E.
Halsell of this city and JI. L.
Turner of Oklahoma City for tha
collection cf the $1800000 due the
Cherokees was vetoed by the pres-
ident Saturday afternoon. This
action was due to the recommenda-
tion of the Secretary of the Inter-
ior and we believe on misinforma-
tion with reference to the status of
the claim. It is unfortunate that
the government officials at Wash-
ington allow themselves to be
swayed by the most irresponsible
people that hang around the lob-
bies there from this Territory and
more especially from the Cherokee
Nation. It is however a notori-
ous fact that persons wholly with-
out standing at home can go to
Washington and get the ear of the
government oflicials and thus hin-
der legislation and embarrass the
interests of the tribes. Halsell and
Turner are responsible have been
selected by the Cherokee Council
to collect tha claim and they havo
u right to go into the courts and
be hoard on the merits of the claim.
Nobody denies the justice of the
indebtedness and the government
is in honor bound to pay it. The
question as to whether it will be
paid to the emigrant Cherokees or
to the whole tribe does not enter
into the refusal of the president to
approve the act; in fact it makes
no difference who is to receive it;
as under their contract the money
would be paid to whoever it was
found to he due. The case will ba
taken to tho Court of Claims at
once and sooner or later it will be
paid.

indication that Judge John II.

A correspondent wants to know
by what authority and at whose
expense Chief T. M. Buffington Is
spending the winter in Washing
ton. We are not able to answer.
The chief is perhaps paying his
own expenses and has as much
right to go to Washington as a pri-
vate citizen as any one else. We
do not understand that he claims
to represent the nation or expects
the Cherokee people to pay his
expenses.
