8TATEH00D QUESTION.
Discussed at Convention Composed of
Creek and Seminole Delegates.
Okmulgee I. T. Jan. 30 Over 300
delegates Topresontlng thlrty-nlno cit-
ies of tho Creek and Seminole nations
were presont at tho convention hid In
this city. It was th largost meeting
ever hold In tho Indian Territory to
discuss pandlng and prospeotlvo legis-
lation. A esolutlon passed endorsing tho
administration and an agreement was
reached advising tho plan known aa
"tho piecemeal plan" looking to state-
hood with tho admission of tho Crook
and Seminole nations at once.
The attendance was much largor
than expected. Tho program of the
day commenced with a big parade and
there wero two band in the city. Tho
opora house In which tlio meetings
wero held waH crowded to tho limit.
An address of welcomo was delivered
by Okmul'-fe's mayor who was follow-
ed by many others who took up the
question of the meeting.
Promptly at 2 o'clock p m. Mr.
Charles H Myers of Okmulgee called
the convention to order and proceeded
to the election of a temporary chair-
man. This was the signal for a hot
contest Muskogee Holdenvllle and
several other rielppatlons espousing
Hon. H. M Tate of Wewoka for that
position and Okmulgee and the bal-
ance throwing their votes for Judge
Orlando Swain United States commis-
sioner. After some little balloting
among tho delegations the roll was
called and Judge Swain was found to
be the leader by a substantial major-
ity. Hon N G Turk of Cheeotab
was choeen for temporary secretary.
Three committees ware then ap-
pointed with a delegate from each
representation on each committee.
They were the committees on resolu-
tions permanent organization and cre-
dentials. The credentials committee
found that there was a lrge delegation
from every town comparatively in
both nations. Okmulgee took the lead
having ovor 80 delegates. Tho com-
mittee on permanent organization rec-
ommended that tho appointment of the
temporary olllcors be mado pornianeut
This was carried.
The only fight that developed during
the meeting waB whether it would bo
best to endorse tho plecomeal plun of
statehood legislation or to advocato
tho admission of the two territories on
an absolutely equal baels as provided
by bills of that character now pending
In both branches of congress.
The convention seomed pretty even-
ly divided on this matter and it had
to bo threshed out on tho iloor of tho
convention.
Finally the advocates of piecemeal
statehood succeeded In passing a reso-
lution endorsing tho bill now In con-
gress which provides for the admis-
sion of Oklahoma with tho Creok and
Seminole nations attached .... is ses-
sion and a provision for tho absorp-
tion of tho other three nations as soon
as thoy aro ready to be taken in all
to be known as tho state of Oklahoma.
A feature of tho convention was that
every person who so desired were ad-
mitted ns dolegatos and every ono
had a volco in the debate if he want-
ed to. It was a red hot meeting and
thore wore republicans onough pras-
ent to carry Oklahoma and tho Chick-
asaw nations combined.

Muskogee I. T. Jan 2S 1904.
To the Democrats of Indian Territory:
I have Just returned from a session
of the Democratic National Committee
in Washington D. C at Which all sec-
tions of tho United Staates were re-
presented. It was determined to hold
the next Democratic National Conven-
tion for the nomination of a President
and Vice President In St- Louis. Miss-
ouri on July C 1904.
The meeting was harmoBlous and
enthusiastic and reports from many
of the usually doubtful states Indicated
wide spred disaffection In the Republi-
can Party and pointed to a sweeping
Democratic victory this year.
The Importance of early active or-
ganization In every section of the
united States was fully agreed upon
If every democrat does his duty success
is assured.
I respestfully call to the attention
of every Democrat In the Indian Terr-
itory the necessity for party organisa-
tion not only In the towns but every
hamlet.
There are pending In Congreas sever-
al measures for statehood for the
Indian Territory and wheather any of
these measures will become a law at
the present session Is problematic
yet it behooves the Democratic Party
to be ready to sere-guard with ballots
the lntreeu of the people.
Within a few days I will be furnished
with the proper blanks for the organ-
isation of Democratic Campaign Clubs
and upon application will be pleased
to furnish thate blanks to every dls-
trictlu the Indian Territory.

SECRETARY HAY.
Discusses Possibility of War Between
Japan and Russia.
Thomasville Ga Jan. 80. Secretary
of state John Hay was asked today
for a statement in retard to the rumor-
ed settlement of the war crisis in the
cas..
"1 never dhcuss matte-s of this kind
uw.iy from Washington." he said "but
1 do not ihlnk the lnform.it.lmi is def-
inite e-iough to call for any formal
expression of opinion at this time
from me. It Is probable that Japan
has received the communication from
Russia In which is pointed to as the
basis of the rumored settlement and
In tho natural course of events it will
not be known for n week or more whe-
ther the provisions will meet Japan's
approval. If one country determines
on war of course war will be Inevi-
table. In international relations it
does not require two to make a quar-
rel and aggressive action on the part
of either party at issue will naturally
precipitate a conflict."
He was asked what effect on the cot-
ton and wheat markets of the country
a declaration of war in the east would
produce and replied:
"I do not believe it would have any
effect whatever on either the size of
next season's crop or the prices these
products will bring In the markets of
the world."
"Do you think a Russo-Japanese war
would increase the output or con-
sumption of these commodities''"
"I do not think It would."

eumatism

Most people have an idea that rheumatism it contracted like a cold that the
damp chilly air penetrates the muscles and joints and causes the t-rabln aches
and pains or that it ts something like a skin disease to be rubbed away v.iih lini-
ment or drawn out with plasters; but Rhuemutum originates m the blood and is
caused by Urea or Unc Acid an irritating corroding poison that settles in mus-
cles joints and nerves producing inflammation and 6oreness and the sharp cutting

"Really I never discuss matters of
this sort away from Washington. I
hope however that Colombia will
realize that such an a' tempt must he

Panama fs too well recognized to ad-

"does not play politics. Any question

NOAH'S ARK.
It Lnmlril In Sloxlrit Aoeorillnfr to n
Struwze Tribe of Indiana
Noah's ark according to tho latest
shipbuilding advices brought to this
port by Carl Luniholtx the distin-
guished explorer who has been travel-
lug In the Interests of the Amerlcnr
Museum of Natural History never rout-
ed on Ararat at all. Tluit story Is nil s
fnfco. Noah wasn't a Jew either und
his name prplwbly wasn't Noah at all
Ho was n Ilulcbol Indian and his sto-
ry Is part of the Huichol family his-
tory. His ark rested on one of the
mountain tops of central Mexico and
the Hood was not merely a paltry forty
days' go as you please. It lasted ftvr
years. They do things thoroughly thosr
savages.
It Is really very curious that Noah's
arl: legend of the I.Iiilcliols for they
are a hermit people. They have kept
themselves to themselves. Mr. I.uin-
holtz bolleves Unit he Is tho first white
man certainly the first scientist to
ponetrate and remain in their territo-
ry. There are some 4000 of them and
thoy live In an almost Inaccessible can
yon or narrow defile In the Sierra
Madre mountains In the state of Ja-
lisco. They are hemmed tu by rugged
and precipitous cliffs whose walls tow
or up from 8000 to 10000 feet In the
air. They lead au Isolated and primi-
tive life. Their present belief ami cus-
toms are those of their ancestors for
centuries long before Cortes canut to
Msjcioo. And yet they have a distinct
ly recognizable Noah's ark tradition
and science Is interested lu speculation
as to where they got It
Mr. Luiuholtz has brought home wits
him an exact replica of the otiglnW
ark which the Hutchols still point oul
resting on one of their mountain tone.
This replica was made out of a log el
wood which was hollowed out Twt
places of carved wood glued on to tba
tip are intended to represent deer
horns whose purpose wss to cntanglr
the ark in the bushes when the water
subsided and thus ltold it fast The
sides 'of the'srk are decorated with di
