FRAUDS UPON INDIANS

Charges Which a Texan Is On His Way to
Washington to Prefer.
st. Louis Chronicle.
\ prominent Texan is in the city, on his
w2v to Washington to make and press
charges against Secretary Teller. He says
among other things:
THE first charge is that of defrauding the
Wichita-Indians out OF their lands. The
Wichitas occupy that section OF the Territory
known as the Panhandle and lying along
the Wichita river. OLD General Pike will
testify that he found the Wichitas there
forty years ago. Recently this great grazing
country, including about 100000 acres OF
land, was leased to syndicate for ten cents
HI acre to which transaction the consent of
the Indians was not obtained. The bargain
was manipulated by Indian Agent Smith,
who is alleged TO be acting in conjunction
with Indian Commissioner Price.
OF course, the Wichitas kicked,
as did the Arrapahoes, but they
appeared to be powerless. War Cloud, the
Wichita chief, is getting old. and he relies
for advice upon his son-in-law. In order to
apnease that son-in-law the agent gave him
10o coo acres OF land and then bought it of
nim Tor $1,000. This closed the chiefs
mouth, and the poor Indians were left out
in the cold. Of course | championed their
cause beng Wichita by adoption, and the
Territory. But my wife is a Cherokee, and
they can only drive me across the river into
her country, The agent has anCoyed and
arrested ME and my rangers with false
charges until am tired of the whole BUSH
aess, and have determin ed to take big hand
in the transaction
WHO are concerned in the syndicate?'
The real names do not appear, AS the cor
DOrators are hiding behind lot of English
capitalists But Senator Plumb and Con-
Gresham Haskell, of Kansas. are interes ted"
Are there any more charges?'
YES; and the most serious one is the bar
gain by which certain grazers are admitted
into the Territory on payment OF bonus to
government officers while the army is busly
employed III keeping out Captain Payne and
others, who refuse to pay. That's the point
that will reach the closest to Secretary Teller.
During the last six months Senator Garland,
of Kansas, has visited the Wichita country,
and he will stir up a holy war when his facts
are presented. We have also employed a son
OF General Pike. who sat in council with us
on one occasion. The agent notified Pike
that he must Withdraw from the Territory.
We csmed his right to remain as an attor-
ney. but the agent refused to yield. Finally
| rode two nights and one day to the nearest
station. Atoka, and telegraphed Senator Gar
land. He then telegraphed Teller, and We
thus obtained Pixies detention in the Terri
tory"
'Who are interested in this latter scheme?"
"Oh. the same crowd, with some add tons,
including, as | am informed, Hunter and
Evans. / tell. you, the people OF this coun-
try have no idea of the frauds and robberies
that are being perpetrated upon the Indians
by those whose duty 1T is to protect them,

The Crown Prince,s wish to Rome.

ROME Dec. 12.-The Popolo Romano states
the Italians in no wise object to the German
Crown Prince Frederick William visiting the
Pope. The Monteur de Rome, Papal organ,
saws nothing was decided at the Vatican re-

certainly mbarrass King lambert and the
Pope. 1t shows the difficulty created by both
the King and the Pope living in the same
city The Opinione, on the contrary, re-
marks that the visit would prove that it is
perfectly possible for both the King and the
Pope to live in Rome.

JAMES w. Brit.

We can't congratulate Mr.. Butt
upon the exterior of his business
stand; the building is not handsome.
but all the same, a right good sales
room and large shop is afforded,
and it is very evident that Mr.. Butt
makes the most of his opportunities.
His trade is that of stoves, tinware
aud house furnishing goods. In
March, 1882, he succeeded to the
business of E. r. HarrelI-an estab-
lishmcnt that was originated in 1877
by the firm of Davis & Harrcll. For
merry Mr.. Butt had been carpenter
and builder. For about twenty-five
years he had followed that business
for fifteen years here in Charlestown,
and he had no more idea than baby
of the stove and tinware trade, when
he entered into it, still he has been
successful to a degree beyond his
most sanguine expectations. His
trade has enlarged from month to
month and year to year, despite the
fact of active competition, and he now
employs five workmen in the shop
greater number than any other tin
smith in Jefferson or Berkeley county
employs.
Mr.. Butt makes fine display of
stoves in his saIesroom. Leading
foundries of Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Reading, Eric and elsewhere are rep
represented, and styles of stoves, both
for cooking and heating purposes,
are certainly very pretty this season.
Prices, we are told, remain about the
same as year ago, but there have
been many improvements introduced,
so that really better article for the
same money is procurable. Mr.. Butt
dcvotes his time to the sales depart
ment; the shop is under the charge
of j. w. Russell, young man who
has had ten years experience,
and who thoroughly understands his
business. Mr.. E. r. HarrelI, than
whom there is no better workman, is
also employed in the shop.
Mr.. Butt informs us that the sea-
sons sales are all he could possibly
expect. He has made every prepa-
ration for big trade this fall and
winter, and we don't think he will be
disappointed.

1t is rarely that one, finds in any
part of the country, in a place. the
size of this, as neatly appointed
drug store as the one presided over
by the gentleman named above.
There is no tawdry or garish dis
play, no attempt at impossible COM
binations-on the contrary every APP
pearance is that of quiet elegance.
The stationary furniture, such as the.
table counters, drawers, shelving,
prescription desk, &C., is in imitation
of walnut, trimmed with somewhat
darker shade, and the ornamental
panels are certainly very handsome.
The floor is covered with oil cloth in
imitation of thing, Ga capital imita-
ton, too), and the glassware, the
cases devoted to toilet articles, drug
gists' sundries, etc., are all in excep-
tionar good taste, and reflect credit
upon the Doctors ideas of the "cter-
nal fitness of things" for he was the.
designer.
Doctor Pratt is a native of Rich
mond,-a son of the late VIM. A.
Pratt, who. was the. architect and Su-
perintendent of the University of Yir-
ginia. He first became connected
with the drug trade in 1867, as an ap-
prentice to E. Walton Russell, then
doing business at the corner of Balti-
more and Eutaw streets, Baltimore.
Subsequently he studied medicine
with DR.. John St. p. Gibson, then of
Waynesboro, Va, but now of Staun-
ton, and he graduated from the Uni
yersity of Virginia in the class of
1874. Very soon after, he began
practice as resident physician in the
Bayview Asylum. One year later
DIR. Pratt removed to Walker, Vernon
county, No., where he was engaged
both in practice and in the drug trade.
He afterward returned east, attended
lectures at the University of Mary
land, and in September, 1882, located
here, buying out the drug business of
n. F. Henderson & Co., house that
had been established for thirty years
or more.
As between the old house and the
new one there is vast difference.
DR.. Pratt has aimed to make his place
of business somewhat metropolitan,
both inappearance and facilities, and it
is not to be wondered at that not only
is the old trade of the house retained,
but that it has been supplemented by
much that is new.
Which department of the business
takes precedence VIC hardly know.
As matter of course there are full
lines of drugs, chemicals and med
icines; all the standard proprietary
remedies are kept, the sundries de-
partment makes a capital display:
paints, oils and glass are carried in
full stock, and especial attention is
paid to the prescription department,
as, indeed, ought to be the case where
an educated physician is in charge.
Though DR.. Pratt has been here
butlittle more than year, he has
made hosts of friends. His attention
to his business is very closc-he
seems to realize that whatever is
worth doing is worth doing we'll, and
we sincerely hope that he may never
have occasion to regret casting his
fortunes with those Of Charlestown.
