ABBOTSBURY SWANNERY.
The Muskogee Phoenix was sold
yesterday to the employes of the
concern for 88000. The Phoenix
has been one of the most success-
ful weekly newspapers printed in
the Indian Territory.
"Kid" McCoy won the fight
with Peter Maber at Coney Island
yesterday. Maher was the favor-
ite in the betting ring but McCoy
disposed of him easily knocking
him out in the fifth round.
The appointment of T. A. Cband-
ler of this city as deputy clerk of
the United States court at Vinita
is a just recognition of the home
rule plank in the Republican plat-
form. Mr. Chandler is a home
man a Cherokee by blood and
very competent to fill the position.
When you see a dandy appear-
ing chap walking down the street
with a college strut and a far-
away detective sort of look in his
eye you must tip your hat and
give him the road for very likely
he is a new federal appointee that
has come to 611 a position that
rightfully belongs to some citizen
of this country. Tahlequah Re-
publican.
If reports be true there are sev
eral families across the river in
the Jeff Dick neighborhood who
have smallpox but there seems to
be no immediate danger of a spread
of the disease. A member of the
board of health of Vinita will visit
that section today and ascertain
definitely the situation. The fam-
ily in the east side of town who
had been exposed are being close-
ly guarded and have all been vac-
cinated. Women as a rule are not given
to peddling whiskey but occasion
ally one "bobs up" serenely and
of course gets yanked. Mary Car-
ton and her husband whose given
name is Tooley were tried the
fore part of the week on a whiskey
charge and both were held for the
action of the grand jury the
woman in 8300 and the" man in
8500 hond. Neither could furnish
the necessary security and of
course they took a trip to Musko-
gee. Tahlequah Republican.
A Historic Kuire.
W. A. Falconer justice of the
peace has the knife with which
Bob Dalton wan severely stabbed
several years before his tragic end
at Coffey ville. The stabbing was
done in the territory and the
knife presented to Mr Falconer
by an Indian into wose hands it
came. The blade ik five inches
long and is covered with dried
blood. Ft. Smith Times.

One ol the Mont Ancient Gm Pre-
serve In Kiiulnuil and It
Itrcalatlun.
Lord IU-liester'g swnnnery nt Ab-
bot&bury is one of the most nncieut
game preserves of Knglnuil. It ling ex-
iited for 800 yeara the swnns bfinff
the property of the ubbots from which
tb place takes its name nd they were
entitled to legal protection. Henry 1L
enacted penalties for deMroyin? them.
Anyone who Btoie bwiuis kk- -the
nest wiu liable to be imprisoned
lor a year and a day in addition to pay-
ing a large fine. Henry VIII. granted
the lands of this monastery to (iiles
Ktrangwnvs the ancefitor of the pres-
ent Lord ilehester and raised the num-
ber of swans from 800 to 1..100 birds.
The home of the swans to-day is as
nearly wild as possible and is a fluo
combination of sea and land the beau-
ties of which are unrivaled. Bamboos
pampas grass fuchsias and exoti
shrubs flourish. When not engage
with the swans the men on the estaU
go' mackerel fishing.' Karly in AprU
the swans gather like so many gian
albatrosses and compete for nestinf
ground a very ancient habit peculiar
to the Abbotsbury birds. Each pnt
crouches down on its choice of laud
and as there are perhaps 200 nests ove
two acres the swans cover the fielcU
like a flock of snowy sheep. The oli
birds grab the best places and wer
it not for the swanherd the newcom-
ers would fare badly.
The swans' method of building U
different from that of other birds. Th
swan sits on the ground and gather!
every morsel of portable stuff she can
reach piling it up around her. Th
male bird drags reeds from the watet
edge and places thein within her reach.
A KEYLESS LOCK.
The Latent nnd Most Acceptable I
novation proponed for Post
Offlce Boxe.
There is more than $400000 of th
people's money locked vp in. post of.
lice keys each and every key-holder be
ing required- to put up with the postJ
master a deposit for his key the amount
deposited being returned when the box
is given no and rent paid says the
AVashingtou Times. Postmasters are
required to keep a strict account of the
key-deposit fund while the post office
department here has a regular division
set apart for keeping this account. As
a postal official puts it there is a great
deal of trouble and no money in the
transactions and the final outcome of
the trial of the keyless locks which are
to be tried in the principal offices of the
country is eagerly looked for. The de-
partment haa long wanted a keyless
lock but none of the lock inventions
until the present was regarded as in any
way calculated to prove acceptable.
Contracts have been mde for a supply
of the new locks which will first be
tried in New York Boston Philadel-
phia Chicago and St. Louis as the
largest and most importaut offices and
then in St. Taul Minn.; Cleveland O.;
Hartford Conn.; Madison Wis. and
Kockford 111. These offices will be fit-
ted out as soon as the factory can com-
plete the making of the boxes. If they
prove in every way satisfactory to the
department and to the patrons they
will be placed in the offices throughout
the country but not to the entire ex-
clusion of the lock-boxes. It is the be-
lief of the post office department lock
experts that the keyless box will prove
a blessing.

A Hfniple Home Dinner.
A simple home.dinner may begin with
a clear soup made from the bones left
from the roasts and steaks or it may be

Among the many objects of interest
in the collection of .vur trophies and
curios from the riii'ippir.es lhat has
recently been placed on exhibition in
the P.attle of Manila blinding on Wa-
bash avenue is a b'-nt am! shattered
Kemington rifle. This ride is of in-
terest because of the following story
pays the Chicago Inter Ocean.
During the first battles of the Amer-
ican troops with the Filipinos around
Manila a charge was ordered to drive
the enemy from a stro-jg position. The
charge took the American troops ovcra
rice field which the enemy had occupied
Et the beginning of ihe engagement
but from which they laid ber n driven.
As Ihe American fori es cls irr - d
ncrofs the piteous cries i t a woiouu -?
Filipino for water excited the com-
passion of one of '.he boys who hast
ened to give him a dr-i.k from Ms can-
teen. As he knelt down by the side of
the insurgent the latter drew a dogger
and tried to stab him. Several of the
American soldiers saw the ntti nipt and
!;asfr.ir? ip tfir-V the irsnrgent's pun
