VINITA I.T. APRIL 17 1000.
It has been suggested that a
special train be made up to carry
the Indian Territory delegates to
Kansas City for the national con
vention July 4.
The Indian appropriation bill
has passed both houses of congress
and will no doubt be approved by
the president It carries an appro
priation of $640000 for the use of
the Dawes commission.
Judge Thomas is in 'Washington
and it is confidently expected that
when he returns be will have Dis-
trict Attorney Soper's head upon
a charger a trophy of his prowess
as a political headsman.
It is now announced that the
Ke-too-wahs will oppose the new
agreement. Of course they will
oppose it; they opposed the old
one but it was ratified by a big
majority just the same.
-
The future outlook for Vinita
was never quite so bright as at the
present time. The prospect of an
early settlement of the chaotic
conditions that have prevailed
hear have given a new impetus to
business prospects generally.
Atoka the very first town in the
Indian Territory to appraise lots
is now involved in a lawsuit. It
is hoped Vinita will be able to
avoid such a condition by having
a fair appraisement. It is a good
time for Vinita people to stand to-
gether. J. J. McAlester and others have
had a bill introduced in congress
authorizing them to construct an
electric railroad and operate the
same between the towns of South
McAlester Old McAlester Krebs
Alderson and Cherryvale and to
other points within five miles of
any of the points named.
It is to be hoped that when the
time comes when lots may be
bought and sold in Vinita and
title given to the same that no ex-
hoibitaui prices be placed upon
unoccupied town lots. The expe-
rience the town of Atoka is now
having ought to be a warning to
other towns to not make the same
fatal mistake by appraising lots at
a figure far beyond their value.
It is now almost a . foregone
conclusion that the treaty will be
ratified by a vote of the Cherokee
people that will be practically
unanimous should it be adopted
by congress. There are very few
expressing themselves as being
against it. There are however
some who will oppose it and
would oppose any agreement that
could be made ; the masses seem
to be for the treaty.
Wants to Reform.
The following letter addressed
to a Tennessee newspaper shows
how hard some men are pushed
and how badly they want to get on
in the world:
"Geentlemen I wish to put my

THEY ENJOYED AN OLD TUNE.
Mm.lo to Which Lord CornwallL'
Army Surrendered at
Yorktown.
At the banquet of the Massachusetts
Society of the Cincinnati on Washing-
ton's birthday a piece of music which
attracted general attention was an old
revHal: "The World Turned Upside
Down" the music to which Lord Corn-
wallV army marched out to surrender
at YVrktown. The history of this is
interesting in connection with the cele-
brated historical event.
The following is a selection from the
diary of Dr. Thacher(i a surgeon in
Washington's army in which he jot-
ted down events from day to day:
"Oct. 19 1781. This is to us a most
glorious day but to the English one
of bitter chagrin and disappointment.
Preparations are now making to re-
ceive as captives that vindictive and
haughty commander and that victori-
ous army who by their robberies and
murders have so long been a scourge
to our brethren of the southern stntes.
Being on horseback I anticipated a full
hare of satisfaction In viewing the
various movements of the interesting
scene. The stipulated terms of capitu-
lation are similar to those granted Gen.
Lincoln at Charleston last year."
Dr. Thaeher says: "it was about two
o'clock when the captive army ad-
vanced through the lines formed for
their reception. Every eye was pre-
pared to gaze on Lord Cornwaliis
the object of peculiar interest and
solicitude but he disappointed our
anxious expectations pretending in-
disposition aud made Gen. O'Hara his
substitute as leader of his army. This
officer was followed by the conquered
troops in slow and solemn step with
shouldered arms colors cased and
drums beating a British march."
The tune selected by the English was
that with what they considered the
most appropriate title: "The World
Turned Upside Down." The song has
for the first line the words: "Since
now the world's turned upside down"
etc.- It was written in 170C probably
by Tom D'l'fcey for it was in his op-
era: "The Kingdom of the Birds"
that it first appeared. This opera was
dedicated to the celebrated Kit Cat
club of London. The song was revived
in 1750. -
Referring to the surrender of the
British army the Yorktown Centen-
nial of October i6Sl says: "By the
articles of pnpitulntion the Brwieh
were compelled to march forth with
colors cased uud drums beating a Brit-
ish or a tierriian tune.''

missioners. "'Which artii'li-?" answer. d 11;r lat-

Bread In Havana.
Havana's bread carts are usually
two-legged that is bread is carried
about the streets In large shallow

Anuteot Mines of Slant.
History furnishes records of the
working of the copper mines of Sinai

These possessions brought on several
bloody wars. The scepter of Pepl II.

the huts of the miners and some frag-
ments of tools still exist. In the debris

. In the East childlessness is considered
a curse from the gods. It is a pathetic
sight to se some childless Hindoo
mother prostrate before sn idol implor-
ing that the curse of childlessness may be
taken away.
Are we much
wiser than the
heathen ?
Thousands of
( childless
women are
not as tbey

t a diseased
condition of
the delicate feminine organs. It may be
debilitating drains or" female weakness
and perhaps an ulcerated and inflamed
condition of the parts. In any case the
diseased condition must be removed and
a healthy condition established before
the maternal function can be fulfilled.
