VINITA. IND. TBR., DEO. 22. ..
Official Papef of the Gty.
Happy should be the one who
wears a big stocking about this
time of year. No one should be
ashamed of the largest size on
Christmas morning.
It should be the ambition of the
people of Vinita to open the doors
of its free schools to every child
within reach, and to open them
wide enough for each one to get an
education. Raise the grades until
the puplio school will be a high
school. .
It is the intention of the Chief
tain to print every item of news
that will interest any of its read
ers. Those who happen to know
a good piece of news, will confer
favor upon the Cheiftain force of
newsgatherers to let them know
about it. Parties, meetings, society
functions, religions services, eto;
ought all to be reported,
ThoBe who get the idea that the
rich have no sympathy for the
poor should study the recent act
ion , of one of America's richest
men: Mr. J. Ogden Armour, whose
little daughter was recently saved
from a life of suffering by an oper
ation will express his gratitude in
a form at once practical and beau
tiful. The little girl was treated
for congenital dislocation of the
hip by the German surgeon,
Doctor Lorenz, Mr. Armour
baa now announced his
intention of building and endow
ing, at an expense of three million
dollars, an institution where the
children of the poor can be treated
for the same deformity, without
charge. "My daughter has practi
cally been given back to me," he
says, "and my wife and I are grate
ful. Other parents are joyless be
cause their children are afflicted
with the same trouble. I want to
make them happy too" Could
there be a better expression of
gratitude than this?
Palatial Barber Shop.
Joe Davis has caught the spirit of
the times and got a Vinita move on
himself by purchasing the finest set
of barbers' furniture perhaps ever
shipped into the territory. The outfit
consists of four chairs of the very best
and latent make with mirror, marble
top fountain, and every thing usually
found in a city barber shop. Vlni'a
is to e congratulated on the posession
of such a swell tonsorial parlor. Joe
ha a good patronage and deserves It
all.

Familiar Figure done.
The announcement, tbisjmorning of
the death at 7 o'clock of James Lld
dell or "Dad" as he bas been culled
about the railroad yards, removes a
familiar figure from Vinita. The old
man has been car inspector on both
roads here for many years and he
could be seen early -and late with
hammer in hand walking about the
yards. He was an omniverous reader
and was socialistic in bis views, ne
was as loyal to his Job as It was possi
ble to be, and had the air of owner
ship of tbe railroads. He was a friend
to tbe newspapers and was always on
the lookout for Hems of Interest.
Wedding Bells.
Miss Ai wa Robertson of West Point,
Miss , and S. K. Waymer of our city
will be united in marriage at the par
lors of the Cobb Hotel tomorrow

public school teacbersand has made
a host of friends In Vinita during her
f bort stay here. Mr. Waymer is a re
airtfintof our city and is regarded as
one of our worthiest and most exem
plary young men. Tbe Chieftain ex
tends congratulations.
Coughs, Colds and Constipation.
Few people realize when taking
cough medicines other than Foley's
Honey and Tar, that they contain
opiates which are constipating be
sides being unsafe, particularly for
children. Foley's Honey and Ttr con
tains no opiates, is safe and sure and

Business Men In Theatricals
The New York Herald of May 8th
says: "It's strange what strides the
stage has made during "the past five
years, not to speak of a century. Busi
ness men have now taken a band in
tne pie, and find it a very profitable
investment. Lawrence Barrett, dur
ing his grand struggle through num
berless difficulties, was backed by
some of the solid business men of
Boston. Viola Allen, who has elec
trified this country and at tbe present
time Is the talk of the entire east, in
"Tbe Christian," was furnished the
necessary funds by a large printing
establishment in New York. And
now a leading business man of Chica
go has taken bold of tbe comedy farce
"A Wise Wotrian," and having en
gaged an extraordinary good company
will appear in all the principal cities
in a trip across the continent. Prior
to their run in San Francisco they
will take in some of the minor towns
and thus make tbe journey to the
coast with more ease. Theatrical
managers, Jook sharp. The business
men will crowd you out."
If you feel ill and need a pill
Why not purchase the bet? ;
DeWitt's Early Risers
Are little surprises,
Take one they do the rest.
W. H. Howell, Houston, Tx., writes
"I have used Little Early Riser Pills
in my family for constipation, sick
headache, etc. To their use I am in
debted for tbe health of my family."

A Cold Wave.
The forecast of sudden changes In
the weather serves notice that a
hoarse voice and a heavy cough may
invade the sanctity of health In your
own . home. Cautious people have a
bottle of One Minute Cough Cure al
ways at hand. E. H. Wise, Madison,
Ga., writes: "I am Indebted to One
Minute Cougb Cure for my present
good health, and probably my life,"
It cures coughs, colds, lagrippe, bron
chitis, pneumonia and all throat and
lung troubles. One Minute Cough
Cure tuts the phlegm, draws out the
Inflammation, heals and soothes the
mucous membranes and sirpnirtheos

R. II. Foster, 313 S. 2d Street, Salt
Lake' City, writes: "I have been
bothered with dyspepsia or Indiges

Dear Old Santa Claus It is nearly Christmas;
please bring me a little farmer wagon and some shafs
for it, aid a bow and arrow. If you come down to
this country you will have to come in a boat, for it
has been raining for a long time. I wish you a merry
Christmas. I am ten yews old and my name is.
FLOYD PERRY.
Aft-n, I. T., Dec. 14, 1902.
My dear Santa You will not be surprised to hear
from me as I write you a letter every Xtnas. Last
XniHS you brought me lots of nice things, so please
don't forget me this time. Don't forget my liUle
br other, mamma and grandma and all the little boys
and girls who have no parents to love and care for
them. Mamma reads me lots of sad stories about
poor little children in the far north who are suffering
with cold and have nothing to eat. If I was ri' h
like you are, Santa Clus, I ould give them all a
present and make th"m happy, for I know how hap
py I am when I wake up on Xmas morning and find
njy stockings full. I want a picture book, a little
Eiano and a broom, so I can help my grundma keep
ouse. Now, good bye, Santa Claus. I am a little
girl most six years old and my name is
MADALEN DONOHQO.
Echo, I.T , Dec 16, 1902.
Dear Santa Claus I have written several times to
you, through the Leader, and have always failed to
win the prize, but as there are so many others who
have failed, too, I do not feel discouraged I think,
if you don't succeed, "try, try again." 1 don't ask
very much of yoa this year, but will be pleased with
anything you wish to bring me; and I want you to
not forget my big sister, Sarah. She is away at col
lege and will not be at home. She is a good girl and
will re pleased with anything you take her. My age
12 years. With love, ETHEL BALLARD.
Vinita, I. T., Dec. 16, 1902.
Dear Santa Clans-I thought I would write you a
letter to let you know that I am well. You must not
forget my mamma and my little brothers and my
papa, the poor cildren, Santa. I will have a fine fire
for you and you can find something to eat on the
tab e. I will be eleven years old the 4ih d ty of Jan
nary and my little brother is 8, mamma 40 and papa
48 years old. I live at No, 5, South Smith street.
Santa, after you have given a l the poor children and
my mamma, little brother and papa something then
if you have anything left you can bring me some
thing, also. I bad rather have a testament than any
thing. Santa, I will always remember yoa, as long
as I live. I will have to close; good-bye. Remem
ber mamma. ( ANNA THOMPSON.
" Vinita, I. T Dec. 6, 1902
Dear S" CNus I am a little girl, ten years old
and or It is nearly time for you to come and visit us
lltt!c folks, I thought I would write ana let you know
what I want. I want a doll and a little trunk to keep
my dolls' clothes in, a little stove and a set of dishes.
But, Santa, if you wovld rather give me money than
the presents I asksd for I could take it and buy some
thing for some poor little child that you might not
visit. I remain, as ever, one of your little girls,
MARY CHANDLER.
