In most other assessment companies the.

they become source of annoyance aud

INDIAN AFFAIRS IN CON-
aRH9a.

On the ~ inst. Mr.. Seeney NJ. c.,
submitted 'leti.;on Of the Kansas
City Clearing House association,
for legislation respecting the In
dian Territory.
A clearing house is a method
used by banks and bankers for
making exchanges and settling bal
ances. How this can be applied,
under existing relations between
the territory and any state of the
United States, is a matter to be ar
ranged by legislation. What
change in the law regulating trade
and intercourse with the Indians
will be necessary to effect this pur-
pose, and to preserve things as
they are, may satisfy the Kansas
City Clearing House, but not the
Indians generally.
Mr.. Logan, of the senate, pre-
sented a petition Of Galesburg To-
cal assembly of the Knights of La
boz, of Illinois; Mr.. Maxey, a pc
tition of the same sort, of the
Knights of Labor of Texas; Mr..
Wilson, of the Rights of Labor of
Iowa; Mr.. Conger, of those of
Michigan Mr.. Evarts, of those of
New York, all praying for the
opening to homestead Settlement
of the Oklahoma lands in the Indi-
an Territory.
The following is the warding of a
bill as reported from the committee
on Public Lands, in relation to No
Mans Land:
That the law of the United States
except those providing for pre-emp-
ton, timber-culture, and desert
land entries of the public lands, are
hereby extended over the morgan
lied territory south of the states
of Kansas and Colorado and be.
tween the Indian Territory and the
territory Of New Mexico, known
as the public-land strip; and that
for the purpose of the execution
of said laws said public-land strip
is hereby created a land district
and is annexed to the Judicial DIS
trict of Kansas and the subdi--
visional lines of townships in said
public-land strip may be surveyed
under current appropriations for
the surveying service, the work to
be done under the direction and
supervisors of the secretary of the
interior.

London: Printed by Bernard Alsop
for Lawrence Chapman, and are to
be sold at his Shop over against
Staple Inn, 1920. Now reprinted
in a neat volume, Long Primer
type, bound in fine cloth, gilt top,
beveled boards. Price so cents.
The quaint poem, of the title
page of which the above is tran
script, appeared nearly half a GEN.
tury earlier than Paradise Lost.
There are striking points of re-
semblance between the two poems,
and many have supposed Milton's
immortal work to have been inspir-
ed by the former. Only two cop
les are known to be in existence
previous to the present edition, one
being in the British Museum, the
other in the Bodleian Library,
Oxford. Some years ago a gentle
man Of Virginia, Mr.. J. l.. Payton,
sprung from the old English family
OF that name, made an accurate
transcript Of the copy in the British
preserving even the
quaint spelling, punctuation, capi-
talizing, and italicizing of the orig
inal. John b. Alden, Publisher,

SAYINGS OF OUR NEIaHBoRs.

Chetopa Statesman "A party of
Melrose people went TO the ma
ton on q wolf hunt last week.
They came home with the
scalps of four wolves, eight squir-
rels, one deer and an empty lunch
basket dangling from the belt. 4
= y We are informed that there
has been large mortality among
the fish in the ponds and small
lakes in the nation. It is supposed
that low waiter had exposed them
to the severe cold of the winter,
and also that ,the ice prevented
them from obtaining the needed
supply of air. Our informant says
it was sorry sight to see so many
thousands of black bass, catfish,
perch, ETC., lying dead in the water.
y y 4 Mr.. Pullen brought
duck to town on Monday which
was of variety that is stranger
here. 1t had a green head, neck
and underside white with a tinge
of yellow, wings partly white and
sides white, and back black shad-
ing lighter toward the tail. The
beak had a sharp hook and the
mandibles were furnished freely
with sharp teeth. DR.. Lisle, who
is good authority on ornithology,
says it is a shieldrake duck.
Independence Star and Kansan
We regret that on Monday last
Mr.. j. Il. Wells, Of the Indian Ter
ritory, met with a very serious ac-
cident in this vicinity. While rid
ing rapidly in order to overtake a
friend who was a few rods ahead of
him, his horse stumbled, making q
complete sommersault, and falling
upon the prostate body of Mr.. Wells
broke one ofhis legs about an inch
and half above the ankle, and Sc
riously injured his back. Il y +
Rev. Charles Journeycake, John
Bullette and George Swanuck,
special commissioners on the part
of the Delaware Indians, will leave
for Washington City on the 2Sth of
February. Their object, as stated
to the writerof this by Mr.. Bullette
