VINITA IND. TER. JAN. 6 1904.
J. N. Holland an old time reader of the Chieftain at
(J rove was a pleasant visitor in Vinita this week.
The time is rapidly approaching when tribal
merits will expire by limitation of law and the
will have to abandon their form of government.

The brick layers and stone masons employed on the
government jail at South town struck yesterday. The
grounds for t heir grievance were the employment of a
superintendent who was not a practical brick layer.
The alley back of the Cobb hotel is in an exceedingly
filthy condition and needs the attention of the authori-
ties. It is a menace to the general health of the town
and should be cleaned up at once at the owner's expense.
There is an ordinance which if enforced would make
such a condition impossible.
Speaking of the fact that the president used
Joe Folk idea in his message and called vigorous atten-
tion to the need of an extension of extradition treaties
reminds one that Mexico has surrendered Kratz but New
York still holds on to Zeigler and Indiana to Taylor. Bet-
ter amend our inter-state extradition matters so that po-
litical power may not protect men charged with criminal
acts.
While the large cities are in a state of fevered excite-
ment anent tire escapes and death traps there are a
number of small towns that might profitably undertake
the same. Inspection will show that Vinita hotels are
lamentably bad in this important matter and there is
an ordinance on the statute books of the city that is
being openly and flagrantly violated. In justice to those
who spend a portion of their time sojourning at our
hostelries they should have some protection.

CURTIS ON STATEHOOD.
'The passage of a statehood law is possible and even
probable" said Representative Curtis of Kansas "but my
word on it no bill will pass at this session unless the
friends of the Territories agree to accept a measure crea-
ting two states one Oklahoma and Indian Territory
i-ombined and the other Arizona and and Xew Mexico
joined in one" Mr. Curtis bases his opinion on some-
thing more than a casual canvass of the situation and
authorized himself to lie quoted to that effect.
:"In the event that this should be made the issue be-
fore congress" he continued. "I think a provision might
lie olered as an amendment to the bill along the lines
adopted when Kansas Nebraska and other states were
adinieed which had a large Indian population the same
as the Indian Territory now has; in other words a pro-
vision that nothing in the act contained shall be con-
strued to impair the rights of person or property now
lierrainlng to the Indians in the Indian Territory so long
as such rights remain unextinguished by treaties between
the United States and such Indians and the property lie-
tjiiging to such Indians shall not lieconie subject to laws
of the state until after March 1 l!NXi; and provided fur-
ther that such state shall not lie authorized at any time
to pass law abridging the rights of any Indians or
changing the status of their property. Several states
have been admitted with a provision excluding state ju-
risdiction over Indian tribes and Indian lands for. the
t line being.
Kansas was so admitted without interfeiing with the
rights of the cit izens which they were entitled to enjoy
a.s cit iens of a state.
Tin-re is an active statehood sent iment in congress
t tit my observations are that the only chance Oklahoma
has (if coming in is in conjunction with the Indian
Territory."

There was a law suit in Justice U. C. Greer's court
Monday in which Lemuel Collins sued Wm. Head and
brought an attachment and garnishee! J. J. Coffman
who was owing Mr. Head. The suit originated over a
claim of $.1 On account of Mr. Collin's failure to put
up a printed notice or advertise in a county paper as re-
quired by law he was unable to enforce his claim and
lost the case. The costs amoun'ed to some "Js. The
trial was by jury. A.I). Rennett appeared for the de-
fendant and J. L. Clurgen for the plaintiff. This is
another case in which it would have paid to advertise
and for failure to do so $2H went up in smoke for court
and lawyer's fees. There is no doubt had the proper ad-
vertising been done Mr. Collins would have won the suit.

BARX 'JtRNEKS NEAR GROVE.
On Tuesday night two barns with their contents were
entirely destroyed by fire located a couple of miles east
of Groveone belonging to the W. R.Mayes farm the
other to Mrs. Rauline Rates. The tires occurred wit bin
20 minutes of one another and were undoubtedly of in-
cendiary origin probably set by one and the same pervm.
The Mayes barn contained lieside the 8 horses burned to
death I'.ooo bushels of corn and some implements. The
tenant Allen Rle ins was seriously injured. . One hor-
burned to dep tli in Mrs. Rates' barn. While the Rates
family were looking at the Mayes barn burning over a
mile distant the flames shot upward from their own
barn and soon enveloped the building. The two barns
are Jes than a mile and a half apart. Miami Record.
A person was heard running from one of the tires
laughing immoderately and the coneliion 'was that the
tires were the work of a demented person.
The distracting headaches from which
so many women suffer make life a daily
purgatory. If men suffered with head-
ache as women do business would be
almost at a stanstill. Does not the fact
that men do not suffer from these severe
headaches suggest that there must be a
womanly cause for them ?
When the womanly orirantsm is dis

and sleeplessness are consequences which
are sure to follow.
