Non Citizens OF the Chickasaw Nation Re-
sisting Lsw which Would Break Them
Up.
Special to the Gazette.
GAINESVILLE, TEX, Msy 25.-Psrties
from the Chickasaw nation report that
there are grave fears of more or less
bloody conflicts between the Indian
authorities and the non-citizsns who have
organized for the purpose of resisting the
collection of the tribal cattle tax. It is
stated that farmers who are opposing this
measure have thoroughly organized and
that they hold regular meetings at school
houses and other places for the purpose Of
formulating plans for concert Of action.
A few dsys ago they passed set Of res0-
lutions addressed to Collector McLish
setting forth their intentions and deter
limitations In the premises. The sub
stance Of their manifesto is that they will
resist the further payment Of this tax,
peaeeably II possible, but forcibly II neces-
saty, and therefore civilly warn all Off
GERS to abstain from trying to collect any
more of the cattle tax. Collector McLish
and his posse have suspended their tax
gathering work and the former
has appealed to Governor Guy
for additional aid in order to over
come the hostile oppos ton and coerce
the opposers into paying the revenue.
1t Is reported that the Governor will call
out the militia in few days unless the
menacing farmers back down from the
stand they claim to occupy at present and
in the event the militia is not strong
enough to subdue the opposition the Gov
ernor will call upon the United States
authorities for government troops, and
the threat has gone forth that not only
will the authorities, in the event
they are compelled to resort to
military force, take what the tribe
demands as tribute but also enough
to pay the expenses of the troops in addi-
ton. The farmers give as reason for
their opposition, that they are tenants
they pay rent they have complied with
lords, or the tribal laws by which they
are governed. The tax proposed to be
collected is 81 per head per month on
every head over ten in number, including
calves, and the enforcement of the law
would annihilate the cattle business Of
on-citizens in the Nation. A remon-
STRANGE against this law and Pc
tition Endorsed and signed by
every non citizen IN the localities where
the officers have been resisted have been
sent to Secretary Villas, asking him to
give ruling on this matter at once, and
the farmers declare they will resist any
forcs that may be sent against them until
the matter is definitely settled by United
States authority. This trouble OCCURS
every year when the collection of this tax
Is begun, and from the present condition
Of affairs serious trouble is expected. |

YOUNG GIRLS.

The Home IL tho Salvation Of City Girll
Omaha Herald.
When fifteen-year-old girl is asked BY
the Judge whether she prefers to go home
or to the reform school, and replies with
an oath that she does not care, she has
reached q point in the moral scale so low
that there is little hope for her.
The girl who goes wrong is apt to 90
very wrong. Having passed . certain
point she seems to take pride in sinking
deeper into iniquity. Dora Harmon, q wan
ton and yet child, thus answered the Judi
cial inquiry. She showed herself nard
and bitter beyond her tender age. The
poor girl should be cared for. She does
not know what ia best for her. She
would choose the streets rather than the
reform school, but the matter ought not
to be left to her decision. Perhaps few
seasons away from the faint Of the brothel
and the reach Of temptation would elimi-
nate 8 part of her evil qualities and
develop the good. In the interests Of
humanity the experiment should be tried.
The depth to which this child has sunk
is particularly sad, In that she is but one
of many, and that the safeguards standing
between purity and kindred fate are
often meagIe. The barriers whi.h So
ciety has erected are easily overthrown
in the absence of constant care. Parental
guidance snd restraint are ignored often
times. The counsels Of the father and the
pleadlugs of q mother are UNDECIDED. Girls
are allowed too msny liberties. Little
girls who should not be on the
streets alone are permitted to wander
at will. They come in contact with
charscterless loafers whose business is
the betrayal Of virtue, who have nothing
to lose, who plan and plot ruin and exult
in the success of their efforts regardless
of the blighted lives of their victims.
These pestilent vipers Are a curse to the
earth, and deserve to be, like their fellow
snakes, trodden under the heels Of men.
In providing for the moral ssfety Of
girls there is no middle ground to assume.
On the downward path one step leads to
another so rapidly that the journey once
undertaken is short. The pert school
lass permitting the advances of q stranger
soon becomes the floating vulgarity
termed ''chippie." She is seen in places
where no child should ever be admitted.
She makes appointments on the corner.
She tries to attract attention and always
succeeds. Having reached this stage OF
her career her decline is swift. From
having been the tempted she becomes the
temptress. She was lured by men
and, as she grows hardened, she
lures men. In one sense there is
justice in her course. At last, . painted
courtesan, shameless, abandoned, she
shocks the sense Of decency, and decency
wonders sleepily how she became that
which the usages Of the times has made
her.
Dora Harmon is but sample. There
are others like her. There are many 9TH
ers drifting towards her condition. The
home is what must save them. To finally
pick them from the dive and put them
under lock and key is sorry and almost
useless reform.

special to the Gazette.
HILLsBoRo, Tex, May 25.-Proiessor
j. A. Clark, who has been superintendent
Of the public schools here for the past two
years, was again elected superintendent
by the City Council. His management of
the schools has been eminently satisfac-
tory, as an evidence of which the pupils
of the schools, unsolicited and unknown
to the teachers, got up petition among
themselves asking the Council not to
make any change in the present manage
ment OF the schools.
Your correspondent WAS in error when
he stated that q committee of three had
been selected from the Abbott Club to
solicit votes from the primaries for Judge
Abbott. He should have stated, q motion
was adopted to appoint committees to
represent the interests of Judge Abbott
in the different voting precincts.
The coming election for postmaster on
tomorrow wakes warm. There are now
only three aspirarts for the position.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, May 25.-Last
night in Speeds pasture, nm south
Of the city, on the International and Great
Northern, Will Jacobs and j. Watson
were riding along the road on horseback
conyersing, and without any apparent or
known pfovocation, Jacobs commenced
to fire on Watson with pistol, two balls
taking effect in his neck. At LAST reports
he was not dead, but 1t is thought impos-
sible for him to survive. Jacobs escaped
and has not yet been arrested. He is one
of the most notorious desperadoes on the
frontier, having murdered two or three
men, one of whom was deputy sheriff.
He is also suspected Of being implicated
in several train robberies.
