Persistent Payne.

The Fort Smith Herald Of recent
date. contained the following in
reference to Capt. Payne, Of Oklaho'
ma fame: 9tg'r "
Capt. D. L. Payne and party were
yesterday released from the custody
of the military authority that
brought them here, and Immediately
the United States District Clerk
served a summons upon them to ap-
pear at che November term OF the
court to answer the charge of in
vasion into the Indian Territory.
They are not at all pleased with this
procedure, as they wished hear
ing at the present term of the court,
and not be subjected to the incon-
yenience and expense OF returning
in the fall. 1t will be remembered
that Captain Payne was tried about
eighteen months ago for the same
offense with which he is now charged.
The case came before Judge Parker
on demurrer, and he decided that the
defendant was liable under the suit
for fine of $1,000. 1t was the opin-
ion of the Judge that the lands coded
by the treaty of March 81, 1866, had
not been opened for settlement under
the homestead and presumption laws,
and that while Government property
by terms OF the purchase, they were
reserved by it as Indian country.
Capt. Payne and his followers claim
ed then, as they do now. that the In
dams, if they ever had title to the
Oklahoma country, sold and trans
ferred it by their treaties in March
and July, 1866. Captain Payne, in
his circulars to Oklahoma colonists,
thus states their right to occupy the
Beautiful Land" "The act OF
September 20, 1S4l, granting pre-
emption to actual settlers, provides
that all lands where the Indian title
is. or shall hereafter become, extin
guished, shall be subject TO the pro
visions OF this act. Section 2, A. d
p. r. II. charter, provides that the
Government OF the United States
shall extinguish as rapidly as may
be CONSTANT with the good feel
ing OF the Government, and only by
the voluntary cesslon Of the Indians

The following preamble and reso-
lutions we're recently adopted by a
society of young gentlemen Of Pine

as worthy of limitation: 7ais

men associated together for mutual

and realizing as we. do that gam

In Favor of Local option.

Below we give the deliverance OF
the republicans of Missouri in state
convention assembled on the goth
inst, it being the fourth resolution
of the platform adopted:
We affirm that the undivided lib
erty of the citizens should be subject
to governmental control only SO far
as demanded by the general welfare;
that it is the duty of the State to SO
legislate as to confer the greatest
good on the greatest number of its
inhabitants. Recognizing these prin
clples and recognizing that the in
temperate use of and unrestrained
traffic in intoxicating liquors jeopar-
dlze the safety, health and morality
of any people among whom they are
tolerated, we believe and declare that
It Is the duty OF the State to restrain
the abuse ofintoxicating liquors and
reduce its harmful effects to a mini
man. To this end we demand the
vigorous enforcement Of existing Ii
cense laws, and the immediate enact
ment and faithful execution Of such
further statutes as shall enable the
people ofthe several localities and
sub-divisions Of the State to deter
mine for themselves whether dram
shops shall exist among them or not;
also a large increase of the cost OF
licenses, so that the liquor traffic
shall bear its just proportion OF taxa
ton and be conducted by responsible
persons; also that the persons en-
gagged in said traffic shall be made
ciyilly liable At law in damages for
injuries to third persons resulting
therefrom, and for the effective pun
ishment by imprisonment of all per-
sons violating said laws, 80 that a
strict and adequate control of said
traffic shall be maintained wherever
it is permitted; and we further be-
lieve that the rigid and impartial
enforcement of laws such as above
proposed would furnish more com
plete and practical remedy for the
evils of intempersnce than any at
tempt to enforce general prohibitory
laws against adverse local senti-
ment.

Fine Fruit.

following regarding that magnificent
fruit, the Shannon apple; .H
Never before did we see such mag
nifcent apples offered for sale here
and in such abundance. The King
apple, the Shannon, is bought now at
from 60 to75 cents bushel. Last
year they sold as high as three dol
lars. The aroma, flavor and tender
iulciness Of one of those noble APP
pies would delight the satiated pal
ate OF the most fastidious epicure

the title to all Indian lands lying
along the line Of said road. The
United States, acting in good faith,
did extingulsh the title to all lands
{ Indian west of the Sac and Fox,
Pottawattomie and Chickasaw reser-
vations, Red river on the south, and
to the Pan Handle on the west.
Congress in 1878 passed an act pro
yiding that wherever there was a
land grant to any railroad or for any
other purpose, land it does not mat
ter in what State or Territory that
the pre- emption and the homestead
laws of the United States should ap-
ply to all, even sections of land with
in the limit OF said grant. Take all
laws and treaties away and we can
hold under the grant to the Atlantic
and Pacific railroad. This law is
plain and emphatic. 1t makes no pro-
visions as to treaties, reservations or
conditions. The wording of the law
is, sail lands where ssth.se j u grant.
Section 8, charter Atlantic and Pa
clfic railroad, further provides that
the President Of the United States
shall cause the land to be surveyed
for forty miles in width on both sides
of the entire line of said road, and
that odd sections shall not be liable
to sale or pre- emption, homestead or
entry before or after they are survey
ed, except by said company, but the
act of September 20. 1S41, granting
pre- emption to actual settlers, the
act of July 16, 1862, granting home
stead to actual settlers, and the acts
amendatory thereof shall be, and the
same does hereby apply to all other
lands on the line of said road not
hereby granted to said railroad COM
pany. Ex-Attorney General Devens
decided October 20, 1880, ''that the
A. Il. p. r. r. had forfeited no right
or franchise, but that they were emit
tied to their grant, right Of way" etc.
Upon these grounds Capt. Payne
and his followers claim the right to
take,up lands in the Oklahoma coun-
try. The Captain is very sanguine
that he will carry his point, and that
the new Territory will soon be thick
| ~ settled with white people.

not be grown anywhere else, any

The average size of a Shannon APP
pie is about IL inches in circumfer-
ence, though l6 or Is inches is not
uncommon. Full sized, well pre-
served specimens, of a pale golden
tint, have been known to bring as
high as twenty-five cents apiece in
New York. We advise our farmers
to be more painstaking in gathering
them, as well as other fruit Care
full handling will double and triple
the price of fine fruit. In our young
days we used to watch the farmer
taking of each apple or pear by
means of long pole with a little
bag attached to the top and carefully
placing itin an open+mouthed sack
slung across his shoulders. Apples
SO gathered would keep almost till
the new crop would come in.

BY reason Of her peculiar relations,
and her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled to suffer, not only. her

want Of knowledge, or of consideration
on the part Of those with whom she
stands connected in the social organi-
cation. The frequent and distressing
Irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to degree which
no language can express. In the man

which none but she could endure-and
without remedy. But now the hour
