His Honor Chief Justice J Scales,
of Yartunner Vann and Mitchell
Squirrel, for the murder of ThOs-

to a close Monday morning last,
when the jury in the case brought
in a verdict of not guilty. The So
TcitOr of Tahiequah, Mr.. Gritts,
and Messrs. Walker and Wolfe
prosecuted, and Messrs. Benge,
Lyon and E. c. Boudinot, Jr., de-
Tended. The testimony adduced
on trial was wholly circumstantial,
and, while strong in some respects
in others it failed to connect and
was therefore weak. The verdict
was no surprise.-AGUOcatG.

G. R. Blilburn, Esq, Special
Indian Agent, left, last Monday
night, for Washington, after spend
ing few days in Vinita, engaged
in making inquiry into certain
Shawnee land selections in Kansas.
From other sources we learn that
the Shawnees, by their treaty of
1854, had the right to make indi-
vidual selections of 200 acres, from
lands held in common by the tribe.
1t so happened that "double Sc
lections, " perhaps not intention
ally, were made n a half-dozen
cases or less, by persons who were
known by two different names.
Such persons being entitled to only
one patent, the other selections re-
verted, and became a part of the
common property of the Shaw
nees. These lands, amounting, as
we have been informed. to from
six to seven hundred acres, have be-
come, owing TO their quality and
location, very valuable, and any
scheme looking to their sale at the
appraised value of other lands at
the time Of the removal Ofthe Shaw.
nees to this NatiOn-s2.50 per acre
would be an act Of injustice TO
the Shawnees, who retain a COM
mon and undivided interest IN
them, however much II might inure
to individual speculation. OF
course the Shawnee representatives
now in Washington are quite as
well aware Of the facts in the case
as any Of their people Eow at their
homes in this country, and. il con
junction with the Department Of
the Interior, viii do all they can TO
obtain exact justice for them

AN ATRoCIous CRIOIE.-Erery EreH-

that the people of Odessa were startled
Friday morning by a report that a
Young man was chlOrofOrmed and
nearly emasculated in a house of i'll
fame in that town on Thursday night.
The victim was left lying in the rear
portion of the building until the effects
of the anesthetic passed of, until an
early hour Friday morning, when, still
very weak from the drugging and the
loss of blood, he made his way home
and DR.. Hamilton was called in, who
found it necessary to complete the
operation.

1900. Friday was set apart as
children's day, and large number of
teachers and pupils of the public
schools took advantage of the free ad-
mission offered and made their presence
conspicuous. Visitors came from all
directions, and by noon the grounds
were almost one solid mass of people,
while every available space, command

Important news about
black velvets.-Importance
in black velvets centers
around these two points;
first, the fabric; second, the
black.
There are a great many
makers. Those who make
all-silk are in Lyons, France;
and those who make cotton
back are in Krefeld and Eber-
field, Germany. All-silk are
therefore commonly spoken
of as Lyons velvets, and cot
ton-back as German.
We have seen about all,
possibly all the makes of both
in the wholesale market. We
do not buy abroad. Wed
rather let somebody else have
the job ofo getting them
through the Custom House.
We look them all over, and
buy what we consider the
best Of the several grades.
This results in our having
these:

and we'll get finer, if anybody
wants it.
Now in these few figures
we state almost the whole of
what we presume is the most
carefully chosen and compre-
hensive stock in any one store
in the country. $50 broad a
statement as that calls for
your remembering that we
need just that. We have the
largest trade in the country
and the most varied. What
should we do with a surpas-
sable stock?) .
1--WE have no objection to
telling how we choose, what
we look for, what we require.
German velvets from 81 to
the best that is made, and
Lyons from S. to the best
that is wanted. But wherein
does quality reside?
Quality Of silk, closeness
Of pile, back to hold it, black.
The best Of silk is not to
be expected in German vel
vets. They are made of
duller silks and worked-over
silk-wastes; as many sorts
and mixtures ~as makers;
more. Lyons is famous for
quality Of silk.
Closeness Of pile means
quantity of silk, yielding
solidity, soft resistance to
touch; what you expect of
velvet. The back is too
plain to more than speak of.
Black! k!OThere's where nine
out Of ten are astray.
The black that is wanted
varies = little around the
happy medium; neither blue
oor jet; between. Not all
lliie, but as near as we can,
Mere color is more than
quality, quantity, purity Of
fix, more than all else,
Color first; then quality
zen how will it wear? Or,
- put it another way, how
looks it for color? for gener-
us tu!lness? only then how
iclg will it hang together?
And this leads to a nice

Somebody once accounted for the e<
cesses of the French Revolution on the
ground that the nation had become in
sane, arguing that people may go mad in
masses as we'll as individually. This idea
appears to find conirmatio in France
now, in the case of the prejudice against
doctors in the cholera snitten districts.
The explanation of the prejudice is that
pamphlet written by German, and
containing the assertion that cholera is
natures means Of Kidding the earth Of
surplus population, and especially of
that part not fitted for the struggle of
existence, has been widely circulated in
France, and that the people think the
views OF the government accord with
those. of the German writer. The doc
tors are looked upon as the agents Of
the government, and their object to en-
courage instead of suppress the disease.
A good, many follies may be attributed
to sinple ignorance under the influence
OF fear, lbut this folly is SO extreme as
to lead Ito the suggestion that it ema-
mated from and is believed in only by
persons stho are insane. :

Chief .Instice Daley Of New York,
presidential the Geographical Society,
writing to tthe New York Herald, ex-
presses disbelief in the existence Of the
open polar saa SO earnestly advocated
by Lieutenant Maury, DR.. Kane and

the ice bonna condition Of the portion
of the Arctic that is known to us should
be assumed tooentinue in still greater
degree to the pole.!ss the nearer we ap-
proach it the further we are removed
from the influence, cf6he sun. The idea
OF an open polar sea originated in the
sinaag inary representation upon old
maps Of the early part ,of the sixteenth
century Of such sea at the north pole,
with four rivers corresponding to the
cardinal points flowing from it, and a
statement made during The same CEN

Important to Tree Culture Claimants.


Hon. II. B. Strait of shakopee, Mimi, men,
Der of Congress-, has received from L. Harri-
son, acting commissioner Of the United States
land Office at Washington, the following COM
municaton regarding extentions to tree claim
ants:
am in receipt, by reference from you, Of a
letter from Mr.. G. 3. Tyler, register at Tracy,
Mimi, dated July II. asking that an extention
Of time be granted to certain timber culture
claimants because 'sof q new enemy Of tree
culture that has made its appearance in this
locality for the first time and which is destroy
ing young trees-particularly cottonwood and
ash by the thousand" In reply Ihave to state,
that the amendatory act Of Juue IA, 1873, pro
vides for an extention of time, when the stress,
seeds or cuttings shall be destroyed by grass
hheoppera or by extreme and unusual drouth:"
This act repeats all acts and parts of acts III con-
fict Herewith The act of May 20, 1876, provides
that where the seeds, nuts or cuttings are prop
erly and we'll planted, the ground properly pre-
pared and cultivated and they fail to grow or
shall be destroyed by grasshoppers or othor in
evitab1e accident, that the ground shall be re-
planted or the vacancies filled within one year
from the first planting 1t further provides
ssThat parties claiming the benefit Of the pro
visions of this act shall prove, by two good and
credible witnesses, that the ground was proper
outings, and were so destroyed by inevitable
accident such year." This Office holds that this
portion of the act of May 20, 1876 does not con-
fiict with that of June IA, 1878, and is there
fore still in force, and parties desiring relief
Hereunder shall make application to the prop
er local office for an extension of time az abov
provided.
