library and educational bills, the house
went into committee of the whole on
the indian appropriation bill.
Mr. ELLIS explained the provisions
ol tne Dill. He suggested, as practical
solution OF the Indian question, the ap-
polntment of commission to select In
the northwestern country a territory
similar to the Indian Territory, where
the Indians would be grouped, where
Industrial schools aud missions conld
% established, and where the Indian
could be taught. If that Idea were car
rled out, after ten or twelve wears
congress would not be required to pass
~ Indian appropriation bill. The
trlnes would become seif-supporting,
ana IN the course of time their territory
might be admitted into the union of
states.
Mr.. THROCKMORTON advocated
granting lands in severalty to Indians
rs an important fa9tor in the work o
civilization.
Mr.. MAGINNIS spoke in opposition
to The practice of Indians, in leasing
lands FIR nominal price to cattle kings.
Mr., RYAN earnestly pressed upon the
attention Of the committee the import
ance OF taking some immediate action
TO settle the disputed question as to
whether that portion OF the Indian Ter
ritory known rs the oklahoma strip.
was open to settlement. Men had set
Tied upon that land claiming il be-
longed to the United States, and, there
fore, they had right to set
tie upon it. 1t was claimed
by the government that the Seminole
and Creek Indians had coded the land
TO the United States in order TO enable
he government to locate friendly Ia
dams there. subsequent to the session,
the government changed It's policy and
congress passed law prohibiting the
settlement Of any more indians in the
territory. He neither affirmed or de-
MED the claim on either side, but the
Importance of settling the disputed
question could not be over-estimated.
Mr.. PERKINS followed in the same
vein.
Mr.. CUTCHE0N gave it as his iudg-
ment that the Oklahoma strip WAS not
public domain. 1t was parcel of land
which the government held as a trustee
Tor specific purpose.
Mr.. O'NElLL, of Missouri, said
that, the Indian question had
reached point where IL must be taken
hold of by congress, not only for the
purpose Of taking care Of the Indians,
but Tor the purpose of taking care of the
white people. The Indians should be
recompensed for whatever land should
be reserved for actual settlers only.
Pending further debate, the commit
tee rose, and the public business being
suspended, the house proceeded TO pay
fitting tribute to the memory of the
late John Ii. Evans, of South Carolina.
Eulogistic addresses were made by
Messrs. BrattOn, Dibble and Tillman,
Brown, of Indiana, Hardeman, of Geor-
gia, D0wd and Durham, and then as a
further mark of respect TO the memory
of the deceased, the house adjourned.

with the hope that dame fortune may
smile upon them. Among those who
held lucky numbers were Mr.. A. T..
Hall, salesman in Sanger Bros. dry

one of the largest in
this state. He was the fortunate holder
of the fitch OF n ticket which drew sl0,-

firmly believes that in these drawings
every man has a svuare deal. His little
investment of 81 netted him the snug
sum of $1,000 cool cash. Mr.. Fred
Cheadle, shoemaker here, was also
fortunate in holding a fifth ticket that
brought him $4,000. Both the lucky par
ties are industrious, deserving
men, dependent upon their labors
for daily bread, and dame fortunes

At the station house there are at present
two very sad cases of illness that would
| arouse the sympathies of almost An ybody.
The first is that of Charles Miller, who was
struck in the head with beer glass by
| Charles Foster in brawl last
Thursday night st Eby's saloon, on
Center street. His wound has rapidly
grown worse and his whole head
is swollen to An abnormal size. Last evening
the wound was probed again by Dr. Han and
| a piece OF glass lying neI' the skull removed
The man suffers intensely, not only from the
pain OF his wound and consequent weakness,
but also from want Of sufficient care and atten-
ton. He lies there on rude couch, with
musty linen, where he must endure the ioul
language and noisome fumes eIhaled by the
nebriates in the cells below
The second case is that of small child,
six months old daughter OF Julis Free nan,
an old offender. The child is very i'll with
tever and is gradually dying for want OF air,
