The First Open Session of the Commission will

Early Agreement.

Special to the Gazette.
TAHLEQUAH, l. T., July 30.-The
Cherokee commissioners arrived here
this afternoon and were quartered in the
new female seminary.
A committee composed of four mem
bers of the chiefs cabinet met them a
few miles from town and entertained
them for a short time upon their arrival.
At 4 o CLOCK the chief called upon them
and held private conference with them
This, however, is not a business meet
ing, but merely friendly one.
The commissioners are being highly en-
tertained, and the first open session " i'll
be held tomorrow morning.
No one can tell at present the outlook,
but it is very probable that they will not
come to an agreement very soon.
However the chief has not heard their
instructions as yet and he may come up
to their terms.
Business will be suspended in the exc
cutiye offices while the commissioners are
here, and the entire attention of every
one will be given to the work of the COM

Took Them by Surprise.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La. July 30.-Eighteen
of the ringleaders in the mob which bat
tered in the Lafayette parish jail three
weeks ago and took therefrom prisoner,
Felix Key, charged with murder and
lynched him, were arrested to-day by
Sheriff Brossard, assisted by Adj
Gen. Fairies and three companies of
state militia.
Since May, when the ring leaders pre-
vented the election being held in LaFay-
ette,l they have largely dominated affairs
in that parish Three weeks ago $50 of
them rode into the town of Lafayette
and insisted upon the sheriff opening the
Jail to them. He tried to collect posse
to protect the jail, but could not find
man in town to back him. In the mean
while the mob in broad daylight ham,
mered away for two hours at the jail,
and finally
FORCED IT OPEN,
took Key from it and lynched him. Some
of the ringleaders of the mob were IN
dicted for this, but public sentiment in
the parish was such that the sheriff could
get no pssse to make arrests. He came
to New Orleans and laid the matter
before the governor, who prom
lsed him assistance. The attack
on the regulators to-day was arranged
secretly and the arrests took every body
by surprise. Three companies of state
troops, the Baton Rouge Fencibles, the
West Baton Rouge Rifles and Iberville
Guards, were sent from Baton Rouge to
Cheneyville, in Rapides parish, under
Adjt Ten. Fairies, to suppress some
alleged race troubles there. At Che
NEVILLE a special train was waiting,
which took them to Lafayette.
NO ONE EXPECTED THEM
there, and even the troops did not know
where they were going until they stepped
from the cars. Backed by the militia,
Sheriff Brossard arrested without difficult
ty the prisoners for whom he had war
rants, and who were taken by surprise,
placed them on the train, brought them
to New Orleans and locked them up in
the parish prison here this afternoon. 1t
was decided coup 'etat, and the pa
.pers here were not aware of
the arrests until the men were

the arrests will break up the regulators,
an organization which has sat to regu-
late affairs and administer the laws in
Southwestern louisiana, somewhat after
the manner of the White Caps and which
has been all powerful III the parishes of
Lafayette, ST. Martins and New Siberia,
numbering several thousand men. The
local authorities have hitherto been
powerless against the regulators, but the
prompt and vigorous action of the COVER
nor to-day has greatly nerVed them.

VERNON.

The Benefits of the Spring Palace Beginning
to Be Felt-"The Biscuit End" Of Texas
Special to the Gazette.
VERNON, TEX. July 30.-The largest
deal ever made III real estate was con-
summated to-day. F. V. Evans s. Co.
sold for Messrs. Waggoner s. Son of
Decatur, Tex, $50 200 worth of Beaver
creek land TO Frank s. Kerr, a shrewd
young lawyer of Vernon. This is a cash
transaction.
The Spring Palace is over but its ben
etts are beginning to be felt in this
section. ProspeoUors are coming in very
fast and land transactions are very
lively. Our land will be in demand at
its value after awhile. 1t is
yet cheap, but now good farmers
with plenty of money are coming in and
buying homes. SchOOlhOuses and churches
are being built and what was once con-
sidered dry. barren region has become
the biscuit end of Texas.
Vernon is moving along finely. Our
big Touring mill is buying wheat in large
quantities. 1t does one good to see the
long trains of wagons coming in loaded
with grain for market.

present crop. Taking it alto
gether old :Wilbarger county and
Vernon, her seat of government, are
happy and will join Fort Worth and the
Northwest Texas counties in any effort to
advertise this section. Call your con-
vention and our county will have her
representatives there.
The ball given by the hook and ladder
fire company last night was one of the
best Vernon has ever known. Our peO-
pie realizing the Importance of assisting
the "fire laddies, - turned out en- masse.
We are proud of the boys, and will give
them every assistance possible, for the
time will come when their services will
be demanded The music of our string
band was all that could be desired.
Every one present regretted to leave
when the hours of joy grew late.
Vernon has no boom, and never did
have boom, but she has the most sub
stantial growth of any town in North
west Texas, and she is just beginning to
grow. The near future will make her
the leading city of Northwest Texas.

fact during our stay was that we never

about one hundred and eighty neat resi-

We consider this to be one of the great

The sanitary conditions Of the mining
camp are very strict, and everything is
being done TO make things comfortable.
There is some talk of incorporating for
