monster mass meeting was held hare to
night to urge an carly opening Of The Indian
Territory to settlements Many citizene from
surrounding towns were preeent Steps
were taken for the formation of : perma-
nent organization with headouarters at this
place to push with vigor the favorable con-
sideration Of the proposal to form . new
territory out of ''No Mans land" Ok
lahoma and the Cherokee strip of
the 50 meriden. The assemblape was en-
thusiastic for the proposition. al. W. Rey-
nolds of Geuda Springs, better known as
Kicking Bird, made a lengthy address on
the question. The substance Of his speech,
which voiced the sentiment of the meeting
was as follows: CAN lawful rights of tho
Indians are to be resp scted by compensation
for any shadow OF title they may have
to the lands referred 10. The legal title of
these lands virtually is in the United States
government, and they should be opened to
settlement at once" In conclusion he said
that the formation of such q territory would
be of 1ncalculable benefit to Kansas, and
Kansas cities in general, and Arkansas City
in particular, which sustained tho same re-
!ation to this new territory a. Kansas City

To Prevent Disease Among Cattle,

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 27.-The Sec
rotary of the treasury has informed the GUS
toms officers that he has officially determined
that the importation of neat cattle from
Great Britain and Ireland under certain
prescribed conditions will not tend to the
introduction or spread of infectious or con-
tagious diseases among the cattle of the
United States. The operation of the first
clause of section 2, 1872 revised statutes,
prohibiting the importation of meat cat
tie into the United States is therefore sus-
pended as to those countries upon condi-
ton: First-That it shall be shown that
pleuro- pneumonia has not existed in the
districts whence the cattle are obtained for
one year prior to their expectation, and that
the cattle are fully protected from
contagioD in transportation from the
farm. Second-That such cattle will net
be permitted to land unless accompanied BY
certificates and afidavits certifying to their
health, and the permit from the commits
sioner of agriculture required by depart
ment circular of August 25, 1886. Third
All cattle imported under these circum-
stances will be subject to quarantine of
ninety days.

streets of Kansas City after night are safely
jailed. Three of the men have been in Gus

liams and Charley Ward, alias Swede Pets,
