Last week we stated that the Talla-
hassee Mission, near Muscoga, Indian
Territory, which was burned on the
night of the Goth inst, belonged to the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions. In this we were mistaken. The
buildings belonged to the Creek Ma
ton, and the children taught there
were supported by that Nation, and
the provisions were also supplied by
it. The Presbyterian Board had charge
of the institution and hired and paid
the teachers. This mission has done
much toward educating and ciyilizing
the Creek Nation, and they cannot
afford to be without it. The PROBABLE
tiles are that it will be rebuilt as soon
as possible. OF the one hundred pu-
pills at this mission twenty-five were
sent to school in Pennsylvania and
the rest were sent TO their respective
homes.

The President has sent Gen. Crook to
the Indian Territory to investigate the
the alleged wrongs that have been
committed against the Ponca Indians.
The story of their wrongs as set forth
by the Indian maiden "Bnght Eyes,
has turned the attention of all our pe0-
pie to this tribe. One thing that would
indicate that many Of their wrongs
are imaginary is the fact that the
chiefs, from their tribe who lately went
to Washington say they are satisfied to
remain in the Indian Territory, while
they have been represented as down
cast and heart broken because they
were not permitted to return to their
old homes.

On the last page Of today,s paper
will be found, under the above heading
q communication to the Parsons Sun
lot December 21st, from a member Of
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, q preamble and resolutions
signed by number Of the. leading cit
liens Of Parsons, and also an editorial
from the Sun in reference to the same
matter. By a careful reading Of these
articles It will be seen that they entire
~ vindicate Miss Travis, and in q pub
lie manner justly rebuke those parties
who had through envy and malice put
in circulation the .basest falsehOods
about her. 1t is only because these
lies about Miss Travis have been cop
led into other papers in different parts
of the State that we feel it necessary to
notice them through the columns of
The REGISTER; for by the articles
referred to it will be seen that the true
character of the parties who made this
uncalled for attack upon this young
lady is well known to the people Of
Parsons, and the rebuke given them
by the citizens of that place is timely
aud all that could be asked for.
Miss Travis came with her people to
make her home in this community
some two years ago, bringing with her
testimonials from parties in other states
high in social position and influence
endorsing her character and recon-
mending her as lady of literary cul-
ture and high ability. That she has
sustained her reputation here, and
made host of warm friends, all our
people can testify. We hope this vim
dication may reach every part of the
country where the falsehoods against
her have been circulated, and that all
newspapers that have published arti-
cles calculated to injure her will give
like publicity to the complete answer
thereto.

The Growth Of Farmers, ALI

GnCe.
This new farmers movement is at
tracing wide spread attention among
farmers both East and West. The
Publisher of The Western Rural has
secured the organization of a National
Alliance which through its Secretary
is sending out hundreds of charters,
authorizing the organization of local
4 lliances in all parts Of the country.
Fer full particulars about the move
ment send for free copy of The Western
Rural, Chicago. The Rural is boldly
advocating measures for the purpose
of preventing the adulteration of the
food products of our country. This
adulteration is not only fraudulent,
but is threatening the health of our
people, and is destructive to legitimate
production and trade. The Rural ex-
poets to accomplish this together with
other reforms which will be of great
benefit to agriculture, through this or
ganized effort.

Rev. D. G. Miner, of Ottawa, Kan
sas, recently wrote a good letter to the
Kansas City Journal, in reply to a
paragraph copied into that paper stat
ing that "what is more particularly
racking the brain of the average cor
poration statesmen in Kansas just now
is the perplexing problem of how to
maintain city organization without
any revanues. The adoption of the
prohibition amendment cuts Off COM
pletely the principal source from. which
was paid city officers, police force and
street improvements" Mr.. Miner
says that the city of Ottawa has been
without licensed saloons for three years
past, and that the city council has had
no reason to worry over the supposed
loss of revenue from that source. He
says it is an admitted fact that there
has been less borrowing and less trouble
about city expenses during the years
they have been without saloons than
ever before. He makes a good showing
for the city Of Ottawa in the way of
peace and prosperity. This question of
raising revenue for the support of city
governments seems to frighten some
people, but we believe in most instances
the talk about cities becoming bank
rupt is more from an unwillingness to
see the saloons closed than from any
real apprehension of financial trouble.
