Just how the ordinary reader is
going to figure out the reports be-
ing sent to the daily press as to the
final report of the Auditors office
investigating committee is a 'ques-
tion. A dispatch not long since
stated that the fraud would reach
into the hundreds of thousand dol
lars. Then another is to the effect
that the committee failed to find
anything irregular that the moun
tain had groaned. Itisnotneces
eary to discuss this matter because
the people and the press know
very little of the real bndingoi tni
committee and it is safe to remark
that no informatioe of a reliable na
hire is riven out. This will not be
done until the Cherokee nationa
oonnriil convenes in November
Then and not until then will th
. facts as gathered be made public

It is expected that - the Indian
Territory Press Association wil
meet at Vinita early in October
An interesting programme is being
prepared for the two days' session
and an excursion will be arranged
so as to take in the fall festivities
at Kansas City and St. Louis. We
hope to see a large attendance at
thin mantinor. Several editors in
V LA l U WW
the territory have frequently epok
en in their papers of the need of
and the benefit to be derived from
a press association yet when the
meetings are held are conspicuous
hv their absence. If these brothers
1 believe what they preach they will
attend the meetings prepared to
do their part in building up and
strengthening the . association
We hope every editor in the Indi
an Territory will make arrange
ments to attend the Vinita meet-
ing. Write at once to B. F. Jobe
secretary South McAlester and
apply for transportation for your-
self and wife sister or sweetheart.
Let's get together and learn to
know each other better. Purcell'

Appreciated the Letter.
A few weeks ago Mrs. J. C. Ander
son of this city sent a letter of con-
gratulation to Hon. Adlal Stevenson
candidate for vice president on the
democratic ticket. The letter was
written In both English and Cherokee
and elicited the following' reply from
the wife of Mr. Stevenson. Mis.
Anderson has met the ex-vicc-presi-dcnt
at Mammoth Cave Ky. before
her marriage:
Mitmctonlu Leach Minn.
MyDearM rs. Anderson: Mr. Steven-
son has granted me the privilege and
pleasure of conveyiutf to you his high
appreciation of your letter of cordial
congratulations received m.nie days
since lie recalls very distinctly his
pleasant meeting with you and regrets
too that It was not his honor to
have seen you when lie pa-ed through
your town some months ago. Again
thanking you iu his behalf but. un-

TAHLEQUAH ITEMS.
Interesting Batch of Notes
Clipped From Arrow
Tom Shade was bound over by
Commissioner Reville yenlerday
on a charge of larceny of cattle on
two counts. Shade was indicted
by the Cherokee circuit grand jury
several years ago for the murder
of a young man on Fourteen-mile
creek. He scouted a long time
and finally the Curtis bill was
ushered in and Shade goes unpun
ibhed.
Will Clark was tried last night
for selling and introducing whisky.
Judge Reville promptly bound
him over to await the action of the
October grand jury for Tahlequah.
Clark not long since assaulted TJob
Thompson and John Losier on the
streets of the town because they
asked him for money they bad
given him for whisky which he
failed to deliver. Thompson's
jaw was fractured and Losier's
nose was broken by Clark. For
this little fun Clark was given
some time on the streets and the
balance in the calaboose.
On last Friday week George
Parker ("Bud" as he familiarly
called by his friends) the seven
teen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
George G. McDaniel complained
of being ill but no one thought by
the following Thursday that he
would be in the great beyond and
it is with regret that we say he is
dead. Thursday at noon he was
better but at 5 o'clock he grew
worse and at 5;3$ expired. The
deceased was just entering into
young manhood and all the world
seemed a' brightness and he little
thought that in life he mus pre
pare for the end. Funeral ser
vices were held at the family res
idenoe Friday evening' interment
in city cemetery.
After an . illness of only a few
days Mrs. Christina Ross wife o
Rev. John Ross died. Thursday
afternoon she was taken seriously
ill ana at nrst no one ever
thought such a sad end was so
near. Friday morning about six
o'clock when all nature in the
Bummer morn was at its Zenith
she resigned herself to her Maker
wrapping the drapery of her couch
about her to forever enjoy pleas
ant dreams. She was a devout
member of the Presbyterian church
and leaves several children and a
devoted husband to mourn her un
When winter comes the vital forces of
nature are low and the tree stands like
a solitary
monument to
the dead sum-
mer. In the
winter of life
active men
experience a
similar lower-
ring of vital-
ity. In some
the effect is
- startling.
TTiey loose
their grip on
life. They
seem like
monuments of
a buried past.
At this crisis
there is need
of a medicine
which will nourish and build up the
body and increase its vital power. Such
medicine is Dr. 1'ierce s Golden Med
ical Discovery. It enriches the blood
purifies it carries off the clogging waste
of the system increases the nutrition of
the body and produces a sound healthy
condition with abundant vital power and
physical energy.

According to a ruling of the
Dawes commission all adopted cit-
izens of the Cherokee nation who
present .themselves for enrollment
must show a certificate of mar-
riage from the Cherokee records
before they are recognized by the
r 1 1 . .
commission in several districts
(he records have been either de-
strov.ed bv fire' or misplaced. In
many instances mere are no re
corde to be found of prominent
marriages. In Tahlequah district
Beveral vears aeo some of the
clerk's records were .destroyed by
fire and consequently it will be
rather difficult for the adopted cit-
zens who married in this district
as well as in many other districts
to produce the evidence required
by the Dawes commission.

nently with the fullbloods who

he was of the opinion that the

of enrolling by 'the Dawes com-
mission. He said that a majority
of the fullbloods were being lead
to believe that if they enrolled
with the commission they virtual-
ly accepted the Curtis bill. The
convention is about over now but
no definite information as to what
the fullbloods really accomplished
has been made known.
