Miss Julia Johnson's crayon drawings
of ''Pushmataha" and Gov. Cole. both
splendid specimens of rare taste and most
decided merit, will be exhibited at the
Muskogee Fair by Mrs. Dr. Bond. of

The article then proceeds to give
biography of these distinguished men.
Pushmataha was Choctaw chief who was
born in l764, fought on the side of the
United States in the war of 1912, and was
a distinguished orator. Coleman Cole is
the principal chief Of the Choctaw Nation

Rebel Claims and Republican Lies.


The Inside Editor of the Union is dread
fully given to lying. This morning he
says:
The Democratic organ here publishes a rebel
claim made by one r. j. Henderson, OF Ten
soldiers as one Of the claims passed by congress
and approved by the president.
On the contrary, we published it as one
of the claims not allowed. and warned peo-
pie against voting to send Tom Henderson
back to congress where he could vote to
pay his kinsman this outrageous swinde.

Just so sure as the Democ Eats secure the power
to do SO, VIII this wood claim pass and be paid.

will allow it.-and Gov. Tilden 10 his letter

looking to the assumption or payment of
ANY debts, losses, damages, claims, or
for the refundlng Of any taxes, incident
to the war, Mr.. Tilden says he will inter-
pose the executive power. He will not re-

measures, for the greatest danger to the pub.
