Opposition of the Greek Council to Col.
Boudinot's Newspaper

Parsons, Kansas, dispatch of the Gath
says:
The first number of Boudinot & Har-
ris' paper, the Indian Progress, made its
appearance at Muscogee yesterday. 1t
is neat seven column paper, and shows
great ability on the part OF It's editors.
1t is reported that Shanks and Roberts
have procured charter from the Creek
council to publish an international paper
at Muscogec, and that they have also OBJ
tanned an order from the council direct
ing the suppression Of the Progress and
the removal of the printing material and
building within ten days outside the lin
its of the Creek nation. If they fail to
obey this order then the building is de
clared the property Of the Greek nation
by an order from the council of contisca
ton. 1t is surmsed that NJ. p. Roberts,
who is understood to be the coming edi-
tor of the newspaper and now agent oi
the associated press at Muscogee, has
made himself very busy in this matter in
order to get possession of the elegant
building of the Progress company IN
which to publish his paper. Boudinol
and Harris have appealed to the United
States for protection, and the question il
likely to be decided, whether there Is {
place in the United States where news
paper can be suppressed at the direction
of anybody or censorship exercised
over its columns. A complete histor,
of this cowardly attempt to muzzle th'
freedom of the press will be published IL
this weeks issue of the Progress.

DEAR SIR: 1t is wonderful
what a revolution is being brought about
through The northwest in public sentl-
ment as to our State; that look OF con
tempt that was shown year ago when
Arkansas was mentioned as place to
settle and make homes, find has passed
away, and substituted for it is the belief
that it is the best State in the Union Tor
the home seeker and capitalist Every
body wants information about Arkansas
There will not he only hundreds OF FAM
lies, but thousands, from the States OF
Indiana and Illinois, who will seek homes
in Arkansas soon. AS an evidence OF
the interest manifested in the State, am
told by all those whom | have met that
were on the late editorial excursion, they
have had calls for their papers contain
inc their accounts of our State largely
in excess of the supply. and n many
eases they are reproducing the articles
that the demand may be met. Yours
