INFORMATION WANTED.

A standing offer of chrome of
George Washington, the father of
his country, to remind anyone
who undertakes the task, that he
is the only man that ever lived
that could not afford to tell lie,
will be given to that person Of the
National party who will give the
public the benefit of the reasons
why his party in the late national
council were so bitterly opposed
TO advertising the grass lease out
west, and why there was such a
decided preference to release to
the old company by the National
members at price they must
know to be far below the real
value Of the lease. Come out with
the whole truth, and be like
George Washington. who in the
face of tho evidence against him
couldn't afford to tell lie and get
licked beside, and tell all about
the whole transaction. Tell why
there was such a marked intimacy
between the National members
aud the old lessees who were pres
ont during the session, why they
worked, schemed, and seemed to
be so mutually interested in ef-
fecting the lease. Tell why John
son Fields, poor old idiot, was
kept away from council. hid out
so he was seldom seen, and kept
under guard, for a time, almost as

tighten the public why Senator
Teehee was offered 10000 last

DEAR CHIEFTAIN:-- On closing
my communication last week i
was telling of congress. The
house was discussing the Mills
bill, and ii may not be inappropri-
ate to say right here, there is no
harder worked man anywhere than
faithful congressman. Take Mr..
Mills as an example: In Decem-
Der he began the work Of framing
the bill which bears his name, a
work Of extraordinary delicacy
and difficulty; this was n work Of
some months in his committee
room; besides this there were the
regular sessions Of the house and
the usual correspondence, of which
every congressman has enough for
the strength Of one man, were
there no other cares. At length
after the bill was reported and
called up for debate, for six long
months every day Mr.. Mills was
obliged TO be in his place, to ex-
plain and defend and answer any
and all Of the 100 enemies Of the
bill on the republican side Of the
house. All this would have been
too much for one man, and Mr..
Mills would have succunbed were
he not supported by faithful asso-
clates in the persons Of Brecken-
ridge, Of Kentucky, McMillen, Of
Tennessee, Bynurn, Of Indiana,
and others. To get a really i'm
poriant measure through congress

As could only be expected. the
people are being stirred up, and
without being mealy.mouthed, to
express freely their opinions OF
the conduct of the late council.
They have, though, been a littl c
slower in doing this than was be-
lieved, but the deliberate and
gradual progress of sentiment in
one direction is more to be dread
cd in political upheayal than the
hasty and frenzied. As a proof
that the people are moving, you
will find a string Of resolutions,
passed at Bartlesville, in Coowee-
scoowce district, published in this
issue Of the CHIEFTAIN, condemn
ing the action of the council on
the lease question. They are out
spoken and don't need any expla-
nation, as there is no room to
doubt that the members Of the Ma
tional council aimed at can but
understand. The move is a sig
nifcant one, to be followed per-
haps by others equally as plain
and demonstrative, if the people
are interested in themselves and
do not care TO sit quietly by and

STRANGE RESEMBLANCE.
Twin brothers whose Signatures Proved a
Puzzle to Patent officials.

81 heard good story the other day."
said one of the orators ION couple of
Lewiston men. They are twin brothers
and the most remarkable in some re-
spects that ever existed. Both are of
scientific, artistic turn of mind and re-
markably capable in many ways. The
most curious thing to me, however. is
the fact that their great resemblance
extends even to their handwriting and
has been a great puzzle to bank officials
and every body else. These brothers
are inventive and have lately patented
an important device. The story. ms
heard it. is that after the specification
and atlidavits, ETC.. etc. were made. it
was required that both should make
oath and sign documents. They did
so and the papers were sent to the
Patent Office.
Not long after their attorneys re-
ccived notification of irregularities in
proceedings and soon the specified state
ment was made, from the United States
Patent Office, that the law required
that both persons should sign the
papers, while in this case it was very
evident that one person had signed
both papers. The lawyer smiled.
Here was direct statement. The
United States Patent Office experts
didn't say that they thought that the
names had been signed by the same
person. put they deliberately stated,
IN so many words, that one person had
signed both names. He had to make
a personal explanation to the Patent
Office and relate how wonderful is the
wondrous affinity of birth. "-Lewistoa

Detective Agencies That Are Nothing
More Than Blackmalling Concerns.
Something ought to be done to con-

porter They are nuisance, and
work more harm than any one i'm
agines. / don't refer to the straight
agencies, but these concerns that do all
the dirty work are the ones | refer to.
Anybody can start detective agency.
and some of the men who work for
many of these in Chicago ought to be
in the penitentiary. Many private
detectives make their living by black
mail, and it is easy to see that they
have fine field to work in. Take, for
instance. Il case of woman, or even
man, who has some standing. Some
one-it may be a husband or wife. or
even an outsider-puts a detective on
the track of the one he wants to find
out about. and the victim is followed
everywhere. Suppose something is
found out and there's nobody but has
little dark spot that shouldn't be ex-
posed-and here's where the chance for
blackmail comes in. The detective
makes his report and receives his paw.
but doesn't let the matter rest there.
He has hold on the one he'd been
shadowing, and when the proper time
comes he works the racket for what it's
worth. He wants a loan after letting
the victim know. of course, what
knowledge he possesses, and nine to
one he gets it. The one affected knows
that he can't afford exposure and he is
willing to pay for secrecy. Mind you,
all private detectives don't work this
snap. but many of them do
Il know of young man who robbed
his employer. The latter knew some
thing was wrong, so he hired a shad.
over Proof against the young man
was complete. and when he was
confronted with it he confessed
every thing. He begged not to be
exposed, and the employer consented
to his remaining, provided he made up
the shortage This he did and after
wards regained his employers conf
dence Then he married fine girl
and was halvy. The world smiled on
him and ne was getting along as nicely
as any one could wish when one day
he was called on by strange man,
who soon let him know that he was the
detective who had done the shadowing.
He didn't say that he would expose the
young man. but the latter knew what
the matter was and readily consented
to make small loan. Instead of tell |
ing his wife and employer about it he
struggled on. meeting demands made
on him. and finally took to drinking.
His employer discharged him, he went
lower and lower, and when he got clear
into the gutter his wife left him be-
cause he couldn't support her. The
other day, l see by the papers. she sued
for divorce. and she'll get it,
