VINITA. IND. TER.. MARCH 11.
Official Paper of the Gtv.
THE COMMERCIAL CENTER.
The pud in hie courue around
the globe perhaps does not look
cj?on a finer section of country
Uken as a whole than the northern
portion of the Indian Territory.
Climate soil coal and mineral
make it a region of maryelous re.
sources. There is a gentle eloping
stretch of rich alluvial prairie
land interspersed with streams
and timber belts fifty miles in ex.
tent from north to south and more
than one hundred east and west
from the Kansas line on the north
to the Arkansas river on the south
that embraces what may very
properly be designated the garden
spot of the Indian Territory. It
is not the intention of the writer
to over state the real natural re-
sources pf this wonderful country
Indeed when the most glowing
picture is presented every one ac-
quainted with the country must
feel and know that "the half has
never been told." In the geogra-
phical center of this magnificent
belt of agricultural and mineral
land at the ' junction of the two
great trunk lines of railway the
Et. Louis and San Francisco and
the M. K. & T in the heart of
the north country is situated the
growing pushing and enterprising
town of Vinita the commercial
metropolis of the famous Chero-
kee country. This thriving little
city of three or foar thousand peo-
pie has the making of one of the
beet towns in the whole south
west. Supplied with an abund
ance of fine artesian water fifteen
flowing wells within the city limits
it has the first requisite for a
manufacturing center. Within a
radius of fifteen miles it has more
than ten thousand acres of coal
lands and at a depth of one bun
dred and twenty-five feet ia found
a five foot. vein of fine coal praoti-
cally untouched by the miner's
pick. This section has coal
enough to heet the furnaces of the
smelters of the world for a genera-
tion. Whether to divide the city into
three or four wards is one of the
issues before the city council to be
settled prior to the election.
The southern part of the terri-
tory is in mourning on account of
Denisoa Texas going "dry" at
the recent election. If Seneca
should go and do likewise there
would be weeping and wailing
and gnashing of teeth in the
northern part also.
Frank Greer of the Guthrie
Capital has notceasod to slander
the Indian territory. His latest
offense is printing an account of a
territory man whipping a waiter
in a Kansas City restaurant for
not bringing a knife aa well as a
fork with the peice of pie he had
ordered.
The newspapers as well as the
people throughout the Territory
Are getting excited about the con-
dition of the roads. In Vinita
there has been any number ot
cases of hysterics on account of the
depth and tenacity of the mud
Dot among the newspaper frater-
nity however. But a ftw days
of sunshine will cure it all. We
are somewhat like the man de-
scribed in the "Arkansaw Trave-
ler;" when it rains we cannot
work the streets and roads and
when it is dry they are good.
The quota of work from day to
day at the land office is gradually
increasing. Nearly one hundred
day is now reached. There are
more reasons for this increase than
one. Those who appear to file are
getting to be better prepared for
filing when they appear. They
have the correct numbers of their
allotments with their homesteads
marked out so there is no delay.
And the cfSce force is perhaps get-
ting more and more proficient as
the work progresses. From now
on the work will progress rapidly.
The Internatioo Trust Company
will occupy the Ratcliff corner
abont May 'in first. This new
banking inbtitutinn will be especi-
ally beneficial to Vinita and the
artjuuent oouo'ry inasmuch ' as it
will in a inasur io a different
sort of business to that of the four

nesa in Vinita. U will carry real

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Latest Idem for the Mistress WH
Would Be RlwUt Vp to the
Times. '
Flower muffs are shown among Tar
isiaa novelties lor spring. They are
huge flat lined with chiffon frills aa
a rule intended to accompany toques
made of the same flowers.
Flower turbans are to be preemi-
nently the things this spring and al-
ready charming models of the kind
have been 6ent over from Faris says
the New York Sun.
Dangles and tassels of all kinds re-
appear on the spring model gownB and
these pendent ornaments are being
made in linens and cottons for use on
the wash frocks.
Pendants made of velvet to match
the material of the gown are a new
wrinkle. They are made of velvet
rolled into semblance of a bud and are
an effective change from chenille and
silk pendants.
Several tailored frocks of white on
black cloth are a fad of the moment
with the fashionable Farisian woman
The -white cloth is in most cases em
broidered in black chenille. The black
cloth is trimmed In white bands em
broidered in black chenille.
All white tea gowns are the height
of the mode and grow more elaborate
week by week.
Tea gowns of bastiste oa finest mus-
lin silk lined and lace trimmed are
considered particularly chic.
Milliner's folds have had a renais-
(iancc and appear upon the new frocks.
Another old-time favorite once more
cominer into favor is the niching of
taffeta.
Yak lace or Vavy cluny dyed to
match material is much used upon
woolen frocks. The cloth is cut away
under the lace and a chiffon lining is
used to soften the effect.
Irish lace has lost much of its pres
tige chiefly because its tremendous
popularity brought about a flood of
cheap imitations.
Fleece-backed pique washes perfect
ly yet has a warmth that commends
it for early spring shirt waists.
Buede leather bands and hand-em
broidered suede are finding much fa
vor la Paris as trimmings.
Wool embroideries in crewel stitches
are to be more popular than ever for
trimming woolen gowns. The wool
laces will also be used.
TRAINED NURSES' NEW FIELD.
A Bright Member of the Profession
Tenches Rudiments of Tallin;
to Well-to-Do Women.
A bright woman holding the certifi-
cate of a trained nurse has discovered
a new field of labor for members of
that profession. Possessing a talent
for imparting knowledge rather than
a love for tending the sick she has
opened classes where well-to-do wom-
en in private life may learn the rudi-
ments of trained nursing enough to
enable them to assist the doctor intel-
ligently in their homes in cases not
serious enough to require the service
of the professional nurse or where an
Invalid member of the family has con-
stantly to be cared for.
The house in which she lives has
been fitted up as a model of its kind
for nursing purposes. The rooms con-
tain all modern sick-room improve-
ments and appliances. When a class is
In session it moves from one room to
another according as the lesson of the
day demands. How one should dress
in the sick-room and personal hygiene
in order to prevent contagion is the
first piece of instruction given to the
class. Each pupil is asked to provide
herself with the necessary cap and ap-
ron and a linen dress is recommended
for regular sick-room work is done
and street costumes might get dam-
aged or be very inconvenient.
The care of the bed how to keep it
clean and comfortable is next learned.
The shaking of the mattress how to
spread the sheets and best to arrange
the pillows that the patient may lie
easily and be cool. Ufting the pa-
tient lightly and gently in order to
change the bedding or shift the posi-
tion is then mastered followed by in-
struction in moving the convalescent
with many little hints toward making
her comfortable on any available
couch or chair. For lessons when
practice of this kind is required a wom-
an is engaged by the teacher to repre-
sent the patient. The last few lessons
says the Boston Post are devoted to
teaching the most approved diets for
pa tients in various cases. The cooking
of the food for invalids and the dainty
erring and the best method of feeding
these are also taken up.

A Remarkable Case.
One of the most remarkable cases of a
cold deep seated on the lungs causing
pneumonia is that of Mrs. Gertrude E
Fenner Marion Ind. who was entirely
cured by the use of One Minute Cough
Cure. She says: "The coughing and
straining so weakened me that I run
down in weight from 143 to 92 pounds.

until I used One Minute Cough Cure.
Four bottles of this wonderful remedy
cured me entirely of the cough .strength-
ened ray lungs and restored me to my
normal weight health and strength."
