Thomas Howie, Of Vinita, In
dian territory, and formerly a
justice Of the peace in Mitchell
county, Kansas, is now in the City.
He is a witness in the star route
case of the United States %. w. Z.
Parker. Mr.. Howie is a citisen of
the Cherokee nation, having mar
ried into that tribe Of Indians. He
is an old acquaintance Of Col. <.
c. Boudinot and they have both
worked in the interest of civiliza-
tion and progress. Mr.. Howie says
that Col. Boudinot and he are
jointly instrumental in causing the
present investigation of Indian
frauds and the cattle lease swim
dies. Mr.. Howie says that after
the next session Of congress the
Oklahoma country viii be opened
up for settlers. Then there will
be rush of at least 100000 per-
sons-a sufficient number TO con-
vert it into a state; but as congress
passed a bill not admitting any
small states into the union, the
only alternative will be to take a
part Of the lands east of the Ar
kansas river and according TO Mr..
Springers theory that will be very
easily accomplished. Mr.. Howie
was a caller at this Office and we
found him TO be a man well posted
about the Oklahoma country

ates-Miss Cynthia Parrot, Nose
Saunders and Will French acquitted
themselves most creditably and
showed that they had with the
assistance Of excellent teachers
applied themselves closely TO their
studies. In the afternoon Col. w
P. Ross in q few well chosen re-
marks took occasion TO commend
the evidently prosperous condition
Of educational matters; he thought
the school board, backed by an
interested constituency, was doing
all that could be done in the mat
ter Of education. The exercises
closed with an entertainment in
the evening. The programme was
replete with vocal and instrumental
music, essays, recitations, dialogues
etc. After the concert a reception
was held in the parlors and those
present passed the time in prom
enading, singing and other diver
sions. Everybody seemed in their
happiest mood and the songs and
friendly greetings passed away the
hours that will long be remem-
bered. r. II. +.

TEE cholera has assumed such
an epidemic form and has become
so widespread over Spain that the
government has been asked for
$4,000 to be employed in COM
batting the disease and caring for
the afflicted. This state of afiairs
in Spain, s country with which the
United States has intimate COM

eastern and gulf seaports TO take
every precaution against admitting
vessels having cleared from Span

THE Indian exhibit at the New
Orleans exposition will probably be
presented to the French govern
ment, as the representatives ofthat
nation have indicated a desire to
secure the collection, which ex-
hibits the progress made by our In
dian tribes toward civilization. The
entire government EXHIBIT is now
being transported to Washington,
1900 cars beng required for that
purpose. Apart ofthe exhibit will
probably be turned over to the
Smithsonian institute for per-
mament exhibition.

On THE principle that there are
no good Indians except dead In
dians, the inhabitants Of New
Mexico are urging the formation Of
a cowboy brigade for the purpose
Of exterminating the Apaches. The
plan is entirely feasible, 30 far as

''in many counties farmers have
recorded more mortgages than
ever known before, and for the

which could have been produced

the south wants is less cotton and
moro pork and corn.

NOTES FROM FAR AND NEAR.

At Seneca on Friday last w. G.
Workman, an old resident Of that
place, died from the effects Of a
dose Of strychnine, taken with
suicidal motives.
Independence Kansas was again
made the victim of fire bugs last
week. That town seems to be
rather unfortunate in regard TO
fires and murders.
The country in northwest Ar
kansas is full Of locusts. The
farmers anticipate a great deal Of
trouble from the squirrels in their
corn crop. They infest the woods
in numbers larger than in any
former year.
A steamboat has been chartered
by the Memphis & Little Rock
railroad, 10 carry freight between
Fort Smith and Little Rock. She
will make two trips per week, and
give the merchants Of the latter
place less exhorbitant freight rates
than is charged by the Little Rock
& Fort Smith railroad.
Fayetteville SentiAel:-rwo and
half miles have been graded on
the Pacific & Great Eastern rail-
road. One hundred and twenty
FIVE hands are working on the
grade, and it will take but q short
time to have the road-bed ready
for the ties and iron IS far as
White river.
Arkansas City Traveler:-News
comes to town Of a very serious
disturbance among the Cheyennes,
growing out of their dislike Of
their agent, Col. Dayre. This
agent is said TO be intimidated and
unable TO get away. Two COM
panies Of troops have been sent
from Fort Reno and more are held
in reserve, if needed. 1t is not
supposed that any violent outbreak
will result.
Considerable anxiety, says the
Baxter Springs News,is manifested
in regard 10 the little green worms
that are playing havoc with some
fields Of corn. 1t seems their ap-
pearance is proceeded a few days by
myriads Of little white millers ia
the fields, which no doubt lay the
eggs that produce the worms. 1t
seems also that they are more
plentiful in weedy corn than in
clear fields. We believe their APP
pearance has caused really more
scare than damage, many fields
having been entirely unmolested
by them and these present as fine
an outlook for a large crop as
could be wished.
Fort Smith Times:-A visit 10
Jailer Burns Office at the United
States court and a casual inspec-
ton Of the walls, will certainly
recall to mind the "curiosity
shop" In most inglorious con-
fusion are hung cartridge belts,
boots, hats, spurs, shackles, chains
and things generally belonging 10
the inmates of the prison, while in
the desk are numberless pistols,
revolvers, dirks, pen-knives Of all
shapes and sizes, and pocket books
and memorandum books. These
items Of personal property are
carefully labeled with the name Of
the prisoner, and when he 10 re-
leased it is duly returned. The
reporter saw an old darkey sent
out this morning, and the sole
property he had tho possession of
the kindly jailer was pen-knife--
it was All old barlow, such as we
used 70 buy for a fip-penny-bit
when We were boys. Still the old
man got his property back and
was oyerjoyed TO find il was not
lost

THE star route case which was
tried recently in the Kansas
United States district court ;s one
which should have been tried three
or four years ago. The evidence
was collected by Postmaster-G ZEN
eral James and turned over to
Brewster, who proceeded TO do
nothing with it. Tried in a rabidly
republican state, before a prejudiced
judge and fanatical jury it is by
no means strange a verdict was
rendered in favor Of the defendants.

joint Casper saft, q former resident Of
Bridgeport, committed suicide at Canton,
Ohio, on Wednesday. a special telegram
from Canton To a Cincinnati paper, tells the
following sensational story Of the cause
which inauced satt Is take his life:
From developments made concerning
John Casper Satt, it appears he was driven
10 suicide by, fears oil being assassinated,
and not from poverty. When Marshal
lSlagls learned certain facts in the case he
remembered that on Wednesday Of last
week Salt came to him nj the Mayors
office and wanted two men arrested for fol-
lowing him. He said that while residing
III Bridgeport, Ohio, he had some trouble
with q man, and that he had reason
10 believe that he would kill
him. On that account he moved
away from Bridgeport. This man, he
said was in Canton and be had met him
the day, previous. He! said that the man
was accompanied by another man, and he
wanted the men arrested. The Marshal
accompanied him home and q search was
made for the men, but they could not be
found. Concerning the trouble with q
man in Bridgeport, Mrs. Salt says IN ex.
policeman in bridgeport was an enemy Of
theirs, and that another man OF that place
and her husband had some trouble con.
cernipga woman that the man abused
the woman and that her husband shell
tered her in their house one night, they
having lived in q double building. ty'
"A letter found ON Salts person substan-
tiated this story. twas written to Salt
by q friend, Felix Fagin, of Bridgeport,
September s, 1881, and warned him OIL
certain people; that they would harm him
| iflhey could get,hold OF him. !
The note written in German found near
Salt was, until this morning, only partly
deciphered, 1t being difficult to make ont
the latter part Oft on account Of the poor
writing. The balance Of the note solves
the story as given above, that he took his
life fearing he would be murdered. II

Early yesterday evening between 8 and

severely and possibly fatally burned ct
the residence Of her father, corner Of Thir-
iteenth and Jacob streets She came down
stairs to procure an article that was
wanted, which stood on maatei IN one

was wrapped in flames. She screamed
loudly and her father rushed 10 her aid.
Picking her up he ran with her 10 q
hydrant in the back yard and
eadeayored to 4quench the flames with,
water, but with little success. A lady
living next door, attracted blythe child's
screams, picked,up,a piece Of old carpet
that was lying near by and going to Mr..
Norris aid succeeded in smothering the
flames. The girl was ina pitiablei condis
