VINITA IND. TER. JUNE 10 1904.
The sooner freedmeu ami others selling land learn that
it 's a trade that will stand the better it will be for them.
A warranty deed is or should be good for whatever it is
given.
The Muskogee Phoeix suggests Pliny Soper for vice-
president. It don't matter much who holds that position
while Teddy lives but suppose he should die? Great
heavens !
3 If Muskogee can get so swelled up on account of G rand
river water what would it do with a few drinks of arte-
sian under its belt?
The Cherokee people have a right to see into the work-
ings of the land otlice at Tahlequah. It is of far more
importance to them than it is to anyone else. Their
patrimony is at stake and all they will ever get is being
allotted to them. It is indeed disquieting to have their
suspicions aroused by seeing irregularity about the land
office "when their allotments are being made. The Chero-
kees only insist on decent treatment and that they must
have.
The necessity for a passable driveway to the city ceme
tery north of town is becoming imparative. The city ;
council or the Commercial club should take steps with
out delay to put that road in better condition.
The talk of compromising the intermarried citizens
case out of court is nonsense. There is nothing to com
promise. This class of Cherokee citizens are wmini: to
have their case investigated by the courts and will stand j
or fall by its finding.
Vinita has never been a boom town and does not care
to become one at this time. A city with the natural
resources this town has need not go daft on the hot air
tangent. The way to build a city is not alone by noise
but by steady strokes.
The refusal of Agent Shoenfelt to oust an alleged in-
truder from land sold by a Creek freedman and to which
a warranty deed had been given will simplify matters
with reference to the purchase ef freedmen land. When
such land is sold the agent will not lend his help to re-
possess the seller on any pretext.
It is very grave question with the peopleof thiscountry
whether an employe in the government service when
overtaken in crookedness should be allowed to quietly
resign and by quitting the service escape prosecution.
The government service must be kept on a high plane
and the standard of character should never be lowered.

How He Won Hii Spur.
An interesting man is Governor John
Green Brady of Alaska. His rise in
life is a hard-tisted romance. He was
born in the slums of New York about
1S50 and was cast adrift. He is not
sure where he got his name. The
Children's Aid society finally picked
him out of the streets and lie was one
carload of homeless youngsters
Ped west. At Tipton ma. a oe-
nevolent citizen named John trreen
came down to the station and asked
the man in charge of the waifs to give
him the raffgedest ugliest poorest boy
in the lot. With a promptness equaled
only by his candor the superintendent
ordtied "Jack'"Brady to step forward.
The lad took a study and money was
found to give him a course at school
and college. He went into the Pres-
Lyterian ministry finding his way by
degrees to Alaska. The natives inter-
ested him greatly and he did good
work among them. Later he resigned
his ministerial office to start a tide of
emigration toward Alaska. 1 ie went
to Washington in the spring of 19.

A 5try of Human Klndne..
Ou an eastern Oklahoma passenger
tra'n that left Arkansas City last
Tl -rlav was a destitute family go-
n.g to Pauls Valley. The mother had
.'-ii.t l er last cent at Arkansas City
f.r a Utile of icu for her baby and
had diluted the milk in ice water from
the tank in the coach. The milk was
so cold that the baby could not drink
it. A little girl on her way to Ral-
ston was touched with pity at the
sight of the thinly clad shivering
family and took up a collection of
.X20 to aid them. As she was cross-
ing from one coacli to another her hat
blew off. She sat down in tears at her
loss. A young man asked passengers
for contributions to buy her a new-
hat and soon had money enough to
buy her a ood one but the little girl
refused it. Conductor "Tom" Quirk
came along and hearing the story sig-
nalled the engineer to back the train.
After running two miles the hat was
found and the little girl went smiling
to Ralstrcn. Okiahoman.
AN EXTRAORDINARY THING.
Dodleby Married Money with. Hii
Wife and Didn't Run
Through It.
"Most extraordinary thing" said the
with the triarwooG pipe as te laid
asice the newspaper rc-latt-s Loncon Tit-
Eils. "Don't believe it" rttu-i.ee tUe ciaa
with the cigar bluntly.
"Hut you don't know what it Us" j-ro-tested
tte n:an with tte piie.
"Doesn't n.ai;e any diflerence." re-
spcnCeci the man with tte c-igar. "I mace
tLe assertion .n general principli s and
what I I r.ovv ot tun.an nature. We re
h i given toi exaM ration in the us-eof ad-
jectives. We tay a thitg is extraordi-
nary v T.en we only rrear. it is a trifle un-
usual. 's say it is rerr.arkiLle when
t:;ere is very iittie in it ta call attention
to something ttat we want to gar. and
not with any iu'i'a thUt they are really
descriptive of it."
"But this is really extraordinary" as-
serted the man with the pipe.
"I'll bet it's something that's fairly
common when you tome right down to
it" f aid the man with the cigar aggres-
sively. The mar. with the pipe thought he'd
like to take some such wager as that and
alter the preliminaries he was called
upon to relate the extraordinary tale.
"The exclamation" he explained"
was calied forth by a reflection as to the
present status of affairs between Mr. and
Mrs. Dodleby. She was worth 20.c:3
when she married him three months ago
ard now "
Tte man with the cigar broke into the
tale with a ecornful laugh.
"Nothing extraordinary about it at
all." he said "nothing even unusual.
Everyone knew how it would be when
she accepted him. Possibly he's gone
through with it a littie quicker than i
generally the rase bit there's nothing
remarkable about that."
"But he hasn t gone through with It"
protested the man with the pipe.
"What?"
"I have It upon unimpeachable au-
thority that she's worth Just as much
now as when she married Mm. He haFn't
squat cered a penny of her money."
The man with the clpar never said a
word but r ushed his hand down into his
pocket and two or three minutes later
the man with the p!pe was richer by the
amount cf the waer.
