Hutchings Bets $100 to
$1 He'll Win Chero-
kee Case.
Washington Feb. 20-W. T. Hutch-
ings of Muskogee is so confident of
winning his case before the supreme
court this week that he lias been lay-
ing odds at $100 to $1. Hutchings is
the attorney for the adopted whites
or intermarried whites of the Chero-
kees who are seeking to get on the
rolls of the tribe. The last bet placed
by Hutchings was a $30 suit of clothes
against a pair of good shoes. Another
interesting bet is a $30 suit against $5.
Then to cap the climax the Musko-
gee attorney who was much in evi-
dence during the recent tribal-tax
agitation in the territory closed a
cash bet of $100 to $1 with one of his
territory friends. Edgar C. Smith
and the other attorneys for the Chero-
kee nation are just as sanguine of suc-
cess but are not expressing their con-
fidence in so lavish a manner.
Hutchings began his arguments be-
for the supreme court yesterday.
SPARKS FROM
WASHINGTON
Washington Feb. 20. The House
Committee of the Interstate and For-
(Commerce today decided to make
dfavorable report on the Tillman
resolution as amended. In amended
form the resolution provides for the
investigation by the Interstate Com-
mission of "railroad incrimination
and monopolies in coal and oils."
The compromise measure is a combi-
nation of the Tillman Gillespie
Campbell resolution.

residents of Oklahoma praying for
prohibition in the proposed new state
of Oklahoma. One contained the
names of eight thousand voters and

THREATENING
HOSTILITIES
Associated Press
Pekin February 20. Foreigners arc
receiving telegrams from relatives
which would indicate that there is a
feeling of alarm abroad over a possi-
bility of an outbreak of Chinese hos-
tility. No disquiet whatever is felt
at Pekin. It is no anti-foreign move-
ment. North China is likely to lead
to hostilities.
Vinita Choral Society.
The Vinita Choral Society met for
their regular weekly rehearsal at the
Court House last evening with thirty-
five members present notwitlistand-
ing the inclement weather. Owing
to the fact that so few were out last
night the trustees decided to keep the
roll open for another week in order
that some who have been unable to
attend as yet may do so. It is hoped
that this extention of time for en-
rollment will enable a goodly number
to get their names on the list. The
directors want the public to under-
stand and realise that the Vinita
Choral Society was organized for the
purpose of doing some good consci-
entious work and as a reward there-
for the production of a concert this
spring which no music lover can af-
ford to miss. All members and any
others who may desire to enroll are
requested to be present next Monday
night. The chorus meets every Mon-
day night at 7:44 irrespective of bad

case today Attorney John S. Miller
read a letter of President Roosevelt to
Attorney General Moody which was
authenticated some time ago by the
attorney general. This Is the letter
in which he declared that the depart-

Drilling for Oil
G. W. Ellis came in from Estella
Saturday night where he has the con-
tract to drill the deep well. The drill
is running smoothly and has reached a
depths of 150 feet and is making good
headway. The indications are good
for gas and oil and the com patty own
twenty acres of land and have leases
on about 800 acres.
The Emir's Capital.
It is reported that the emir of Af-
ghanistan contemplates the removal of
his capital to a more northern site.
Owing to the energetic way in which
tho present eniir and his immediate
predecessor have been manufacturing
guns and machinery the country
around Kabul has been denuded to such
an extent that fuel is now unobtain-
able. So great are the straits to which
the emir is reduced by the want of
wood that it is imperative that a new
3lte should be obtained and this will
probably be found in the wooded slopes
it the mountains farther north.

Earl Cunningham died at his home
on the South side last night after a
long weary sickness lasting some six-
teen weeks. He injured himself by
lifting a stove at the beginning and
after having pleura-pneumonia he was
operated on by the doctors and large
quantities of pus was taken from the
cavity of. his lungs. St ickenwhen he
was young and unusually strong he
suffered on patiently through weary
weeks until the end came last night.
Mr. Cunningham leaves a wife and
four children besides his aged mother
live sisters and five brothers. He was
a man of industry and good habits
and had many friends who regret ex-
ceedingly Ids untimely death being
only 32 years of age.

sea and being besides a place of de-
posit for innumerable eggs of various
creatures. In Scotland the tender
parts of tho seawracks known as
tanglers are used as food and when
cooked are considered choice diet for
cattle. The stems of a hard horny
variety of the seawracks are used as
knife handles. They are cut in short
pieces and while still moist or green
the blade is forced in at one end.
When the stem dries it clings firmly to
the knife blade. Being gnarled and
horny it resembles buck's horn and
I when tipped with metal and fully nn-
I ished forms a neat inexpensive knife
handle.
The rose tangles are higher up in
the scale of vegetable life and their
delicate tints render them beautiful.
Of these pulse is an important variety
to the Scotch and Irish who besides
using it as food both in its raw state
and cooked in milk find it a substi-
