CorFEYvILLE, Kan, Feb. 25.--A large and
enthusiastic meeting was held In this place
the evening OF the twenty-ilrst for the pur-
ceded lands In the Indian Territory. About
one hundred Of the leading business men Of
this city participated In the meeting.
Speeches were made by several OF the wealth.
lest men q Southern kansas, after which
they went into committee of the whole and
drafted resolutions expressing their DETER
minatlon to enter the territory and remain.
The meeting was gotten up by the "Coffey-
Vile Emigration Society" an organization
which was chartered under the laws OF the
state OF Kansas some two years since, the
object Of which is to enter and settle upon
the unoccupied government lands lying III
the Indian Territory.
Heretofore this society has been very dis
doing business with cloeed doors, but as they
now deem themselves self-protecting they
have concluded to fling out their banner to
the world, and are inviting and receiving the
co operation OF the entire country. This

TINS ORGANIZATION can secure transporta-
ton at greatly reduced rates, and
every train over the above-named road brings
from fifteen to twenty persons bound for the
garden spot Of America. The hotels are
crowded To overhowing with the anxious gold
and home aeekers. Coffeyville is all bustle
and hurrah. All are going to Oklahoma. It
is the opinion Of each man that the govern
ment would be powerless to. check the inva-
sion, II 1t so desired. The watchword Is, "On
to Oklahoma"
The excitement over the ceded lands of the
Indian territory is undated. The entire
Southern border is ready to move at days
notice. Forty-nine colored people, from Rob
inson county, Texas, are now encamped
about two miles below this place and are
asking to become members or the van They
state that there are 800 more OF their people
this place In few days. Every train over
the 4. e., i. and s. railway brings additional
members for the colony. II the weather con-
tinues pleasant 1t Is the intention Of the colony
TO move In very short time.

stopped, persons from each delegation got
Out Of their own cars and into the cars OF

fun began, and rocks, stones and reyolyers
were freely used, as the smashed windows
and broken doors Of the cars will show
Then, too, the cars were uncoupled Us
many as five times. Each time the con.

We understand that the Order OF Rech.
abites, who were to picnic in the grove on
Saturday, blame our band for the failure.
We desire to make the following state
ment: Sometime ago they asked us to
make them a bid for music for that occa.
sion. We did so, but had no werd from
them until last Friday, when a member OF
our band saw one OF them and was told they
were expecting US to furnish them music.
In the meantime we had made an engage
ment to play for an excursion up the river
on Friday night. On our return from that
trip the boat stuck fast at the ISLANDS
and we did not reach home until alter
O'Clock Saturday morning, and two Of our
members being sick It was impossible to
hunt up others to fill their places and be
in Wheeling in time to head the process
sion. Another fact that led US to think
they were not depending on US was that
they advertised that the Martins Ferry
CoTet Band would play for them, which
Is the name Of another band in this place.
