TUB ONWARD TIDE.
To the thinking mind Ihe ques
tion presents Itself as to what is
the cause of the great unrest among
the people of the Indian territory
touohlng mnttlers of government?
The people aro now earnestly
debating the question of statehood
with Oklahoma, and a lage ma
jority are undoubtedly in favor of
such union. The orient govern
ment of the Indian territory, if it
can be called government, is un
satisfactory, mainly because the
people hbvo no voice in its admin
istration. Ever since Jefferson wrote the
Declaration of Independence tho
people of America, and of the
whole world moro or less, have in
sisted upon those inalienable rights
ho laid so much slreta upon.
Here in tho Indian territory the
people have just as much of that
American spirit, or perhaps a lit'
tie mure of il, ns elsewhere, and
ineiat upon having a voice in tho
selection o( their rulers. It line
come to be, nay, always was, as
ruuih a republican sentiment as
democratic; it is not confined to
political parties. It is innate, we
breathe it in the atmosphere and
drink it in tho water it permeates
the being of every American citi
zen. No government oan be ideal that
does not recognize that key note ol
freedom. The Indian territory Ib
governed by marshal law. Her
rulers are appointed at Washing
ton and not elected by tho 400,000
citizens whom they govern, Tho
present system of government
in the Indian territory cannot
stand. The people are chafing
under it and will not be contented
witli it, and sooner or later wil!
change it. The sooner the people
of this territory are given state
hood the lees friction will il occa
sion. No man nor party can stay
or Btop effectually the tido that is
setting in toward a stable form of
government. It were as leasible
to dam up the Arkansas river and
stop its current as to turn back the
tide of public sentiment now turn
ing toward statehood and the right
of local self government. If it
should bo held up temporarily it
will only break loose in larger
volume and sweep away all ob
stacles later on.
The men who are now planting
themselves against the movement
will be carried away with the cur
rent and destroyed. Their names
will be forgotten in the onward
march before ihe present genera
tion passes.
Delegate Flynn, of Oklahoma,
the most powerful man in that ter
ritory, sees very plainly that the
single statehood idea ic a menace
to his political existence. Flynn
cannot hope for the senatorial toga
with the two territories as one
state, and with that end in view
he will work, as only Flynn nan,
for the admission of Oklahoma
But this plan, if successful, has no
bearing on the Indian territory.
What we want is some recognition
as a people powerful onough to
sustain our own government with
out long distance dictation from
Washington orcarpet bag rule. If
every man in Indian territory
would exert himself, would bring
pressure to bear on at least one In
fluential citizen in the old states,
congress would listen to our plead
ings. Commence today in the agi
tation of relief from the existing
oppression. So. MoAlesler Capi-tal.
99 The question of slnglo or double
Btatebood has been practically set
tled. It Is no longer debatable.
No one need seriously consider the
feasibility of forming two states of
the twin territories. The logic of
eveiite has settled the controversy
and by common consent, in con
gress and out of it. Now the part
of wisdom is not for tho people of
the Indian territory to deplore
their fate, but to go to work to
make the best of it. Already the
politician and office holders are
''reporting" agalnBt the move
menl, and may be able to side
track it to some extent, but even
tually it will be accomplished.
Col. Robert L. Owen declaimed
against single statehood with great
fluency at the South McAlester
W. C. T. II. convention. He de
plores tho probability of the in
troduction of Intoxicants in the In
dian country. This is well and
the Chieftain lets no man go before
it in the advocacy of temperance
in or out of the Indian territory,
but Mr. Owen knows perfectly well
that statehood is coming, and that
the Indian territory will hays to
go In with Oklahoma eventually,
Why debate a question that is al
ready settled. Mr. Oweu i a
throwd politician.

Tho Chieftain has passed
through a poriod when porson
alitios woro a nocossity, but
happily that poriod has almost
passed. Thoro aro still a fow
puny shoots printod, now and
thon, that aro full of venom
and dolight lO'bortUo tho Chiof
tain. Ono of tlioso insignifi
cant ours edits tho Cholson
Commercial. Moro than a year
ago ho borrowed a quantity of
print papor from this ofllco
with the solonm promiso that it
would bo returned as soon ns
tho next shipmont was rocoived.
Tho paper has novor boon ro
t timed, but tho littlo weakling
has continuod to snarl and snap
at tho Chieftain. Such a shoot
is a poor advortiscmont for tho
good town of Cholsoa. Such a
whimporing froak in tho ranks
of Indian Torritory nowspapors
is an abomination to tho pro
fession. It is not very clear as to just how
an exhibit that will fittingly do
justice to the Indian territory is in
be made nt St. Louis in 1003. It
will take moro money thnn is likely
to be raised by voluntary contribu
tion, and an appropriation is out
out of tho question. The expon
tion mny possibly pay I ho salary
of a commissioner, but will cer
tainly stop at that. The Indian
councils will be slow to appropri
ate money when they represent
about one filth of Ihe population
of the torritory.
If J C. Onrpontor, nttornoy

fco has not yet boon ollowod,
has inndo tho romnrk attribu

ho ought to bo ousted without

The Purcell Register suggests
that the press of the territory, or
such papers a favor statehood, get
together at Muskogee, on the 14th
instant, and map out a plan of
campaign. The suggestion is a
good one, and. the Chieftain -will
have a representative there to tnko
part in such a move without furth
er notice. Let the press of the
territory take hold of thlb matter
intelligently and in earnest and re
Bulls will surely follow.
A fat, live 'possum was present
ed to President Roosevelt at tho
White House a day or two ago
with the compliments of Booker
T. Washington. Tliia "southern

sweet potatoes would be a fitting
viand to regale the strenous exec
utive and his Iriend Booker at an
other dinner parly.
The range cattle business does
not offer the opportunities for the
accumulation of colossal fortunes
it did in this country a fow years
ago, but the outlook is s'.ill good,
and the man with brains and in
dustry can make money yet.
Prices are good and. the demand
increasing.
Muskogee is miking prepara
tions to entertain the statehood
convention, next week, royally.
This convention will go down in
history as the first real good send
off statehood has had. Opposition
to union with Oklahoma is melting
away like mist before Ihe morning

The people of the Cherokee na

prise in the way of salutary legis
lation by the national council now

too late to paB a measure that
would provide for land titles and a
general settlement of Cherokee
tribal affairs.
Despite the absence of a big corn
crop in this country there comes
from every section the story of
prosperity and progress. A coun
try of such marvelous resources as
the Indian territory cannot be hurt
much by the failure of any one
crop.
The organization of the national
council at Tahlequah showB the

be able to accomplish, Hill bn the

There are 505 children 'enrolled
in tho public schools of Vinita,
and when the number attending
the other schools of the town is
added to this, Vinita has a larger
school attendance, according to
population, than perhaps any oth
er town in the territory.
The South McAlester Capital is
still banging on to the forlorn hope
of single Btatebood, The dome ol
aatate ctpitol is fading from its
vision, like a dream.
The isothermal line between tho
Indian territory and Oklahoma
will be wiped off the map at Mus

The aftermath of the great
drouth may be seen in the fact that
all kinds of live slock are for tale.
SERIOUS CHARGE

of A, H. T.A.Lodge,
RIOTOUS NEGROES
Alleged" to Have Confessed That
White Advised Them to Aim
Against tho Whlloe After
Recent Raco Trouble
at Ctntralia.
A seneational aftermath ol the
recent race trouble at Centralis,
has developed through tho confer
slnn of several negroeB arrested in
that town for carrying concealed
weapons, alleging that Capt. Gen.
S. White had advised them to arm
against the whites as a precaution
ary measure against further
trouble.
That somo crodence is placed in
the confession of the blacks by thf
reputable citizens of that town is
evidenced by tho following resolu
tions pasted by the local lodge of
tie A. II. T. A.
ICentralia, I. T.,Nov.4, 1001,
Editor Chieftain:
Whertnp, there was ptinted in
tie Daily Chieftain of Oct. 1, 1901,
an article claiming to givo an ac
count of a certain riot in the town
of Centralia, I. T., and
Whereas said article was furnish
ed from the U 8. Marshal's office
in the town of Vinita, and
Whereas, said article is a vile
slander rn Ihe town of Cenlralin
and tho good citizens thereof, and
Whereas, there was' arrested in
Ihe town of Centralis, on or about
the 0th day ol October, one negro,
Whitmlre, charged with carrying
concealed weapons, and said Whit
mire, upon being brought before
the Mayor of the lown, claimed
that G. Sv White, of Vinita, I. T ,
had told him to carry his weapon,
and
Whereas, on the following day
Jack Sandeis, another negro, was
in Centralia with a gun, and upon
being questioned, said that G. S.
While had told him to arm him
self against the whiter; and
Whereas, if G. 8. White, of the
town of Vinita, I. T., did give
such unlawful and uncalled for ad
vice, which is o&ainBl the peace
and dignity of the country and
contrary to the laws of the United
StateB, which ho has sworn to up
hoW und enforce. Now, therefore,
belt
Resolved, by Centralia Lodge,
No. 291, A. II. T. A., in regular
meeting assembled, that we con
demn G. S. Whito as a man unfit
for the high position he holds and
a traitor to the law and good gov

Capt. White when interviewed
as to his responsibility for the rio
tous conduct of the blacks, made
an emphatic denial of the truth ol
the confessions, and later incor
porated it in Ihe following com
munication: Vinita, I. T., Nov. b, 1901.
To the Members of Centralia Sub-
ordinate Lodge, A. II. T. A:
Greeting:
Through the kindness of the rep
resentative of the Indian Chieftain,
I have been shown an article pur
porting to be a resolution of said
lodge, in which they charge me
with having advised one negro,
Whitmire, and one negro, Jack
Sanders, to arm himself as promo
tion against the white citizens of
Centralia.
1 positively deny ever having
made any suck statement or giv
ing any suoh advice to said negro's
or to any other negro at any time
or place. Respectfully,
G. 8, White,
Office Deputy Marshal.
What further action the mem
bers of the A. II. T. A. will take
is not known, but it is thought
probable that they will bring tho
accusers and accused together in
an effort to definitely determine
as to ihe officers responsibility for
the criminal conduct of the ne
groes. Dissolution Notice.

THE RELIEF UNION.
A Useful Organization That Ought
to be Revived.
Three years ago there was or
gnized in Hub city an organization
known as the Vinita R-lief Union.
Il was composed of about one hun
dred ladies and gentlemen of Vin
Ita, who undertook the charitable
task of relieving the distressed and
helping those who were in need ol
food and clothing and sympathy.
A large number of families were
helped through this organization,
and it has done a great work,
though quietly and without osten
tation. The hundred people who pledg
ed themselves to pay twenty-five
cents per month to keep up the
institution and to furnish funds for
disbursements, gradually stopped
paying umil a mere handful of
people are left to bear the burdtn.
This organlz. lion ought not lo
be allowed to cease its minim.
tior.B for lack of fuda and for i
iii oi interest, it is the beft
way to Help those in want, and la
a systematic way As winter
comes on there will be many caees
thol will have to have help. There
are, and will continue to be, sick
ones' who must have medicines
and nursing. The physicians and
drug stores of (he town are in a
Urge measuro oarryine these nn.

share. If the business men and
others wilL rally to the help of
this union a way will thus be pro

A CHAPTER ON MATCHES.
Ilesnlls nC InKPlilnun Mnplilnrr)- III
Clicrtpcnliiir (lie l'roilnt-l Anpcn
lic 1'iuorlle Wand Use.
It was fotiml year ago that efloh
of tho Inhabitant ot Ureal llrltnln
consumed oh an nrernge eight,
matches n day. Tho consumption In
this country por capita Is consider
ably lnrgcr, though exact stntlstlps
cannot be given because treasury
returns of tho imports of nmlohca
convoy no Idea of tho numbsr
brought into the country, which Is
certainly larje. Tho foreign matches
aro not so cheap ns oura, but for ono
renson or anothor tlioro Is consider
able, demand for tltoni, ys tho New
York Sun.
If wo figure on tho British bnsls ot
eight mutches per capita a flay tlio
homo - consumption is 010,487,090
matches n day. This enormous fig
ure may bo accepted ns approxi
mately the home consumption ot
homo inndo matches In addition to
tho foreign matches that are found
in all our mnrhots, but it by no
means represents our totnl output,
for a considerable quantity of Amer
ican matches nro sold in European
nnd other countries.
Success in mntchmaldng, nt tho
present time, Is largely n question of
mnohlncry. Matches nro sold nt n
price so exceedingly small tlint tho
mnohlncry for eliminating hand la
bor nnd producing excellent mntchos
nt n minimum cost Iirto a great ad
vantage in trade. It Is next to im
possible for one mntclt factory to
competo with another unless Its ma
chinery is equally efficient. It enn
not buy tlio machinery used in rivnl
factories, for It la nlmost inrnriably
tho cose that n manufacturing con
cern absolutely controls the patents
it has thought it ndrantngeous to
employ. In order to competo suc
cessfully in the match industry, now
ndnys, it is practically cutentlnl to.
own machinery that is at least ns
perfect ns any used by rivnl wtab
llshmenU. American match-making machines
arc tho best in the world, which ac
counts for the success ot tho Amer
ican concern in England the other
day in absorbing the plant bs busi
ness of the largest British l$(.btih
ment. In the meeting held for tho
purpose of voting upon the proposal
to nmnlgnmato tho two concerns, tho
president of the American company,
addressing the phnreholdcrl of tho
British company, told them plainly
Hint though tho American ontcrprlso
had occupied the British Mel' only n
few yenrs it was competing success
fully with their own industry on
their own ground, largoly for tho
reason that American machinery wan
feuperlor to that of British, invention.
Our public U paying for nwtehest
to-day less than half what it paid to
years ngo, though tlicy were then re
garded ns very cheap. Klderly per
sons can remembrr the tlmo whon
mntchos vero husbanded with con
siderable care, for it did not tnko
very mnny of them to represent tho
rnluo of n cent. But now, thanka to
machinery nnd improved procoasos,
nobody caros cry much how many
matches he wnstes trying to light hi
pipe on n windy day. Infact, match
es arc to clrrap tltat the cost of sup
plying n grent country with all tho
matches it wants doe not reaeh n'n
impressive figure. The total product
of nil our match factories is sold for
less thnn $10100,000 n year, .which
cuts n very small figure whwiit is
remembered that the value of inn
chinos of all kinds that are nroduced
in this country every year is alone
about $100,000,000. Match manufacturing-
is a small Industry after all.
Not many establishments are re
quired to turn out the matches thli
country needs. Over in Xew Jersey,
only n few miles from tlds city, there
are two factories with capacity to
gether of 00,000,000 matches a day.
Tho largest factory in the country,
at Barberton, ()., can turn out 300,
000,000 matches u day, probably a
seventh of the entire consumption.
This country has a great advan
tage in the abundance- of apenr
which tree is superior to all other
timber for match nmking on account
of its natural qualities and the case
with which it is worked. It is light,
spongy, nnd splints easily, and
though pine, linden birch and other
woods are nlso used in this and
othor countries, aspen is preferred
to them nil. European match manu
facturers have been engaged in n
scramble for yearn past to secure n
sufficient quantity of aspan. Gor
many Is importing from Ilussla every
year nbout 3,500,000 oublc feet of as
pen to supplement her own suppllos-.
Awhllo ngo the German manufac
turers petitioned the mlnlstor of bjt
rlculturo and forestry to cause llhr
forcsters in the district where molsilt
fnctorlos are situated to give more
attention to raising tho aspen, X
similar appeal has been made to
their government by the matchmak
ers of I'rance. Ilusslan manufactur
er.! have been opposed to the whole
sale depletion ot their forests by for--rlgn
matchmakers and have not been
alow to nppenl to the government to
stop the exportation of aspen. For
tunately for our matchmakers, tho
homo supply of aspen is very large
and the wood is little used for other
manufacturing purposes.
FOUND HER RING IN A TREE.
The Youiiic AVuiiiuii llnd I,ot It In a
Lnkc Some Tnll Summer
Yarns,
The regular crop of summer Hm is
beginning to come In' from the sur
rounding oountry, and expert aay
that the quality is even better than
usual. Ono of the important duties
of tho loeal newspapers Is carefully
tq ohronlole nil the yarns sent in
from localities contiguous to this
city, and this alight encouragement
is more than enough to set in mo
tion the thin); tanks of the liars of
southern New York aud' northern
Pennsylvania, auy the 'ew York
Bun.
Prom one of the maiir'emall lake
in this region comes this yarn, whloh
Is vouched for by the leading hotel
keepor of the plaee, and the postmas
ter, who Is his brother. Three years
ago a young murrled oooplo came up
from Jew York to spend the summer
ot the lake. A tgw kiy liefore their
return to the city a hey wore out row
ing, when the youse; wife, who had
been trailing her lurid In the, water,
screamed that eh a lad lost her wed
ding ring.
When alio pulled in lier liand. ure
enough the ring was gone. Jt hod
slipped oft and gone to the bottom,
nnd ns the spot where alio Inst it la
ono of tho deepest In the lake no at
tempt trtiH made to recover It. Bo
bud did tho young woman feel over
her loss that alio never returned to
the lake agnia until this summer.
Airubx,mr- t.o JaoleViOcoer andlhd
postmaster, rIip was out rowing on
the lftko with her lionband Sudden
Jy tho glint of metnl high In one of
tho trees attracted the attention of
tho couple. It seemed to them to be
a ring, nnd rowing nshoro tho hus
band shinned tip the tree to find out.
It la stated ns n positive fact that he
found tho wedding ring that his wlfo
dropped in the Inko three yenrs be
fore on tho branch of the tree.
- How it got from the bottom of tho
lake to tho top of the trco wns of
courso'n mystory, which tho wisest
man might hcsltnto to nttompt to
explain. But did the hotelkcoper nnd
his brother, tho postmaster, hostthto?
No, sir. They were right handy with
nu explanation.
They found n flahhnwk'a nest In tho
tree, n few fcot bnck from whoro tho
ring wns found, nnd it revealed tho
wholo thing to thorn nt onsc. A fish
had swallowed the ring, nnd cavorting
too near tho surface wns nnbbed by
tho hawk, which took it up to tho
nest and ate It. Finding tho ring n
trlflo hnrd on its masticating appa
ratus tho hawk threw it out, nnd it
caught on tho limb, where it wns
found.
There is n fellow down in Susque
hnnnn who tolls snnko lies nbout ns
artistically ns anyone. 1- this region.
Ho protends to have found n two
headed blneksnnko In n desorted quar
ry li-i vrcek,. nnd n dotnlled no
count of this wonder of nature has
nppenred in several newspapers. It Is
described ns being three feet long.
Onofoot ot this is body for two, for
there nro two heads, onch perfcotly
formed, nnd two tails.
This snnko liar has built his two
headed woifder on the general plnn
laid out by Mark Twain in hU story
of tho cxtrnordlnnry twins, for ho
anys that one head recmed to bo do
ing nil the controlling ot tho body
"when he ran ncross it. The other
head Just went along ns though it had
nothing to any nbout the direction In
which the whole should go.
Straight ncross the quarry in n
westerly direction went tho annkc,
when suddenly, to the nmnzement of
the man who found it, the head whloh
had seemed no indifferent to tho wny
things were going perked up nnd
aecmed to tnke command. It turned
tho body nround nnd started In nn
easterly direction, the other head
sinking into n condition of complais
ance, much like thnt exhibited by Its
fellow n few momenta before.
How long this sort of thing would
have kept up nohody knows, for the
snake -hunter just dropped on tho
freak, and took It homo In n bag. The
story goes thnt it can be seen nt the
home of ita captor nny time, but no
one from this city has taken the
trouble to go to Siisquelinnnn ycf to

The British vice consul at Leghorn,
in his report on his district for the
past year, mentions a curious indus
try in whloli orris root plays tho
chief irt, anys .tno- London Times.
Tills is the production of beads mndo
from the root, Wjth a flno liolo
through the crjitor. , The beads nro
of many alzos, the smallest being
nbout that of a marble. Not many
years ngo nbout 20,009,000 of theso
woro exported each year, but now
the export ha fallen to 4,000,000. It
nppcars that thero vras onco u med
lenl theory tbnt tho beat menns of
curing scrofula nnd certain, diseases
of the blood vraa to keep nn open
wound in the body of tho sufferer,
and these orria root beads wero in
serted into the wound for this pur
pose. It Is i-tlll potsiblo to buy at
Italian medlenl instrument makers'
the sptelal wiro-grntcd liandago pre
pared for tho nrm in this process.
Orris was probably used In this way
beeauae of ita tendency to dilate In
nny liquid substance. Tho practice
undoubtedly still prevails, though
medical science hi is long condemned
It. A factory for making these beads
has recently been established in
Paris, nnd tho greater part of the
Leghorn oxpori-goos to Lyons, while
part goes to Frankfort. Tho uso of
the beads is dying out in Italy, bnt
it Is not uncommon to meet with
people who have been treated in this
w-ay. Another nrtlclo made from
orris root is tho dentarnolo, or finger,
which is designed to take the place
ot the old-fashioned infanta' coral
nnd nsslst lu teething. Tho Juice,
of which n small amount is absorbed
in sucking, is snld" to bo an excellent
digestive. This is n modern nnd n
growing Industry, nnd apparently
reached Italy from Germnny. Now
halt n million of them; fingers arc
sent from Leghorn to Germany nnd
Austria overy year. Orria root grains,
colored In blue, red, yellow, green and
other colors, are e up or ted to the same
countries, where tnpy arc used to
throw on fires to .slvo an agreeable
odor to aajoons and entrance halls,
while in the form of tiny chips the
root la chewed, mostly by men serv
ants, to remove the smell of tobacco,
garlic and the like, "it may lie men
tinned that sari pies nt these various
articles made from orris root have
been sent home by the viee consul,
and have keen transferred by the
foreign office to the Association of
Chambers of Commerce.
