As good as barber ever gave,

At morn or night, or busy noon.

To suit the contour Of the face.

Scissors sharp and razors keen
And everything think you'll hnd
To suit the taste and please the mind
And all that art and skill can do

A NEW YoRK paper sent IA lady
reporter very poorly but decontly
clad, to various churches for few
Sundays past to see whether poor
people are welcome or not. in such
places. The story of the reporter
was to the effect that out of eleven
fashionable churches visited she
was cordially welcomed at four;
tolerated, but rather cody treated
at two; given good seats at three,
though regarded with apparent Gu
risoity; and told there were no
seats at two. She was the only
poorly dressed person at any Of
the churches. OF such is the King
dom Of the New York heaven.

WHEN Oklahoma was opened
on April 22nd it is alleged that
there were between 700 and 1000
deputy marshals in that country.
They managed to secure many Of
the most desirable pieces of land
and town lots and in consequence a
deafening howl is going up from
the disappointed ones.

witheJone effect. But II wont do
now. People don't forget so soon.
The Arrow in its sensativeness
to the indignity offered the coun-
Gil seems to be ignorant of the
shameful indignity with which
Chief Mayes was treated by the
National members of the council,
who displayed studied methods to
annoy and harass him to COM
pliance with their wishes. There
is no possible indignity, according
TO the Arrows estimate Of polite
al or personal character, to which
any is subject, except his party or
or its members.
The council or the people, is the
question and not the council and
tho people, as the Arrow seems to
prefer, in.meeting the proposition
TO buy the lands of the outlet, is
what THE CHfEF-rAIN selects in its
designation as to which is the
proper authority to receive and
entertain the proposition of the
commissioners. When the council
is authorized by the expressed
consent Of the people, and not un-
til then, can it be claimed that the
council has anything to do with
the question, further than as a
part Of the people.
The rumpus raised against Chief
Mayes, because of the report that
he does not intend to convene the
council on the occasion OF the ar
rival of the commission, but that
they speak directly TO the people,
is only jump at conclusions, as
far as the exercise of any authori-
ty contrary to the laws or consti-
tuition Of the nation. The COM
mission can be received with all
the respect due them and the gov
ernment they are to represent,
without the exercise of any undue
authority, further than the official
courtesy of the executive and of
such officers and members Of the
council as may feel it their duty to
receive the commission with the
respect due them and their mis-
sion. We are not in a condition
to go into expensive demonstra-
tions of pomp and national huge
ness, in order to receive with be-
coming national appreciation an
embassy authorized to offer us on
ly a dollar and a quarter for our
western lands, and not to treat
with people as having an opin-
ion Of their own in fixing the val
ne of property, unless some bene-
fit or advantage is TO be realized.
From what is generally known Of
that which the commission is au-
thorized to do, and of the senti-
ment of the people on the question,
no good nor satisfactory results
need be expected. Then why con-
vene the council2
The lights before him have de-
termined Chief Mayes not to con.
vene the council and only to that
extent has he so decided. When
the powers of the commission are
fully made known, as to what they
are authorized to do, he may de.
eide differently. A premature step
it would be for him to issue a
proclamation TO convene the coun-
Gil before he is officially informed
as to the extent of the commits.
sion's authority in negotiating a
price for our lands. If for only g
dollar and a quarter, there is nc
need to convene the council, be-
cause it will result in expense anC
trouble without any material bene
fit. Iffor something near the val
ue of the land, the council may be
convened to consider their propo
sition and refer it to the people

Oklahoma Lsuts Occupied.


About al the land that is fl for az icul-
tural purposes in Oklahoma, except the
school land :, have beel no nesteaded. 1t is
e,timated that there are nov 10000 people
in the territory. A great many who won't
there when the country was opened have
gone elsewhere because they uld not fild
an unoccupied quarter section that was
sufficiently valuable to justify them in set
ting upon 1t.
There does not seem to be any disposition
TO contest the claims Of tiose, who, as dep
uty marshals, entered the territory AID Sc
lected quarter sections and town lots before
the legal time for doing so. While it is
admitted that the government should not
recognize tie claims Of these deputy mar
shals nobody WAITS to engage in law suit
which might cost more than the value of
100 acrts of and.
There is a great deal OF doubt about the
future of the towrs which have been
located. It's in the power Of the railroads
to make or ruin them, because they can
draw attention to them or away from them.
The indications are that they will draw
attention away from them and to towns
which the lave quietly located, and in
which they have a very large interest.
