RnRYRY OF TIE STRIP

AS soon as surveyors can be employed
the work of surveying the Cherokee
Strip, now leased and in the possession
Of the Strip Live Stock Association.
will be commenced. This will be done
to ascertain the number of acres occu-
pied by the different members of the
association, for on this basis will the
expenses be calculated. 1t was thought
at first that the expense Of the lease
would be pro-rated among the members
I'm proportion to the number of cattle
owned by each; but as this would vary
each year, it has been decided to take
the number of acres in the range as the
basis. 1t is important, therefore, that
the exact number of acres OH each
range be known, and to ascertain this
the survey will be made.
There will be no restriction OH the
number of cattle members may desire
to put on their range; for every one will
either fence his own territory or will
have it protected by riders; most likely
however, everyone will fence.
When once the lines are established
and the members know the amount of
grazing land they will be permitted to
occupy for five years without Interrupt
ton, matters will commence to move
smoothly. StOckmen will calculate on
the cattle needed to stock their range,
and can almost to a certainty figure on
their expenses, their probable increase
and can rest easy in knowing that
whatever may occur to disturb other
enterprises, they will be nearly secured
from vexations.

A MODERN ADAM AND EVE.

A couple over in Sumner county,
near Belle Plains, got queer ideas into
their heads the other day. They were
religious cranks, and after diligent
study Of the bible concluded that any
one might establish Garden Of Eden,
If they but possessed a vivid magma
ton, grove with flowers in it and a
snake. Accordingly this couple, man
and wife, DOTTED their wearing apparel,
and arrayed in only the garb Nature
fitted them with, they sailed forth look
ing for fruits and expecting to meet the
tempter. Their explorations were near
their house, and though the neighbors
were notified they could do nothing
with this modern Adam and Eve. They
might have continued in their fancy
had not Mrs. Eve come in contact with
real, live serpent. This one did not
cast any bewitching glances on the wo-
man, nor did 1t point out any particular
fruit which promised to be particular
ly wholesome or especially knowledge
imparting. But being rattle-snake
with thirteen buttons on its tail, it pro-
ceeded to punish Mrs. Eve in manner
she never dreamed of. This brought
the female portion of this exploring
party to her senses and she retired from
her imaginary Garden of Eden, before
she had an opportunity of investigating
the horticultural surroundings. She
told the neighbors and they soon sue
ceeded in capturing the self-constituted
Adam. He is now watched closely by
his friends. The woman will recover
from the serpent's bite.

Kansas City had a fine opportunity Of
practicing toadying last week, and took
advantage Of it. Roscoe Conkling was
billed 20 appear there before the u. S.
Circuit Court, in case, and make a
speech. He was met by committees,
rendered receptions and slobbered over
generally. And to make the case more
disgusting the court met in the Board
of Trade hall, the regular court room not
being large enough to accommodate the
large audience that wanted to hear
Conkling speak. His subject was
well suited TO the occasion, it being a
discussion of oleomargarine, its manu-
factIUe and substitution for butter.
Under the Missouri statute this truck
cannot be sold as butter. Some one vi
olated the law, and Conkling was en-
gagged to defend the violator. The Re
publican leaders were of course the
principal ones who did the soldering.
though we notice many prominent dem
ocrats occupied front seats Mt the exhi-
bition. We believe western people are
even worse than those of the east in the
matter Of hero-worship.

The board of overseers of Harvard
college have refused to confer the de-
gree og l. l.. d., on Governor Butler, of
Massachusetts. II has long been the
custom to confer this degree OH the
governor of Massachusetts,; but Gov
ernor Butler has been stirring up the
corrupt leaders Of the Republican par
ty to such an extent, that even Harvard
college feels the shock. 1t appears at
this distance that this action was as
small piece of business as could posi-
bly, be expected from the overseers of a
great educational institution. While
Butler don't care much for the intend
ed insult, he will more than likely get
even with his high-toned enemies, even

The Barber county stockmen, who a
year or two ago, cUmmiscrated the poor
grangers Of Pratt. now appreciate the
value of their. neighbOring agriculture
alists, and the result is mutual benefit.
Pratt County Press.
Barber county stockmen have always
had great respect for Pratt county gran
gers, as long as the grangers kept on
their own side Of the fence; but when
they INDUCED in the amusement of
dogging cattle, taking up strays and
starving them to death; swooping down
and stealing our posts and timber-then
"commiserated" is not n good word.
Instead Of plying them the stockmen
rather hated them, and would have
been glad TO put head on Pratt
county agriculturalist ON short notice.
We believe a slight reformation has ia
ken place aud that the Pratt county
granger will do better.

from the situation in which his body

VOLUME POUR.


With this number the INDEX enters
on the fourth year Of its existence. The
three years II has been published have
been years ofprospority for IL, and more
especially may this lie said Of the past
year. When the present management
took charge Of the INDEX 1t was a fair
paper; since then its sire has been doub-
led; It's patronage has been more than
doubled, aud II has been improved in
every way. We have no rash promises
20 make. further than saying that IL
will continue 10 improve; aud as its adj
vertising patronage increases its size
viii be increased. II will continue To
be plain and outspOken on every sub
ject, and while conservative in all
things Il will be neutral in nothing.
We don't ask patronage for the sake OF
keeping the paper alive; for il it is not
worth the subscription price we don't
ask anyone to take Il.
So here goes for another year.

GRANGER FRAUDS.

The experience of our stockmen who
placed their cattle and horses in the
hands of the grangers of the adjoining
counties, for the purpose of having
them taken care Of and fed, during the
winter, has been anything but pleasant.
\ number of cases have been spoken of
where the granger actually starved the
stock to death, and at the same
time, demanding considerable sums
for feed that he alleged had been
fed away. Brisbin Bros, it will be re-
membered lost number of horses; so
did Gregory, Eldred s. Co., and nearly
every stockman who sent any cattle
away from home were heavy losers.
One case we mentioned last week was
peculiarly aggravating. G. III. Phillips
had lot of thoroughbred and high
grade Shorthorn heifers, that he left
with party in Sumner county, with
instructions to feed them all they need
ed. The man who agreed to keep them
let more than half of the lot die of star
walton, though he charged for feed they
never tasted; and though he correspond
ed with Mr.. Phillips regularly, he only
mentioned that two of the animals were
dead. When Mr.. Phillips went to see
about his stock the old scoundrel jump
ed in bed and pretended to be very sick
with chill. When he had been paid
the balance due by Mr.. P, and he found
he would be in no danger of merrited
whipping, he was up and about, and as
we'll as anyone.
These are class of men stockmen in
this country have to contend with.
They are the same men who robbed
this county of its timberand who liv-
ed by selling bones from these prairies.
They are closer than the bark ON
tree and have no more principle than a
Piute Indian. We do not claim that
all the population Of the herd law coun-
ties near Barber is made up of this
class; but there is fair sprinkling, Ger
tain.
These are the men who take up strays
as business; who put out small patch
es, which they call fields, with no hope
of ever harvestinga crop from, but feel
ing that the damages they may force
stockmen to pay, may compensate them
Yet our stockmen are occasionally
placed at the mercy of these men. Ere
quently bulls and fine blooded animals
should be driven from the range to feed
/ md chaltar ond tbaSa crronuaro ora tI,a
only ones near here who can even pre-
tend to take care of stock. How well
they be it, is known to the sorrow of
stOckmen.
If reliable and energetic farmers
would get possession of the agricultur-
al lands of Harper, Kingman and Pratt
counties, where grain can be profitably
raised, there would be no difficulty in
them obtaining all the stock necessary
to eat it up. This would pay better
than hauling the grain and hay from
their farms, and in a few years the bus
mess of feeding cattle during the win
ter months would be profitable alike to
cattle owners and feeders.
But as long as the stockmen are rob-
bed, tn cir cattle and horses allowed to
die, as has been the case the past win
ter, there is no money for anyone in it.
Let us hope there will be a reform in
the granger population surrounding us,
or that they will sell out and give way
to better men. Any change will be for
the better.
