Congressman Perkins interviewed

Congressman Perkins interviewed
KANSAS CITY, July ia special to
the Times from Washington, d. c.,
says that Congressman Perkins was
interviewed to-day on the offer of the
Cherokee Cattle company to the CherO-
kee council to extend its lease oyer the
Cherokee STRIP for ten years beyond its
present termination, with a system of
purchase. Mr.. Perkins regarded it as
An effort to obstruct the attempt of the
United States Indian commissioners to
to purchase the land and open it up to
settlement. Congress would resent
any such attempt in a very decisive
manner and would show the cattlemen
and Chief Mayes, of the Cherokees
that they were playing very danger
Gus game. The present lease was
illegal at any rate and renewal of it
would be declared null and void by con-
gress. The best thing for the Chero-
KEGS to do, continued the congressman
was TO except the governments offer
and thus prevent themselves from be-
ing busted for illegal occupancy. Their
title to the land was most imperfect
and the government could remove the
Indians from it at any time.

The once despised cottonwood is now

The once despised cottonwood is now
a valuable article of commerce. A few
years ago the cottonwood was looked
upon as almost useless for lumber.
Now cottonwood is crowding white
pine out of the market for certain pur-
poses, and sawmills are making for
tunes out of it. 1t has hundreds of
uses. Cracker boxes are now made
altogether of cottonwood. Cracker
barrels, fruit barrels, fruit crates and
grain bins are all made out of this
wood, and for the purpose it is the best
in the market. 1t does not cause grain
and fruit to Sweat" and in the case
of crackers and bread the wood does
not in any way impart its own peculiar
| favor or smell to the contents, as is
always the case with pine. 1t is used
for candy boxes for the same reason
1t is also valuable in finishing the in
terror of houses. 1t holds a nail vel
and will take beautiful polish.-Ex

Dua,s Weekly Review.

NEW YORK, July 12.-R. G. Dun s.
Co. s weekly review of trade, says:
Substantially all news this week has
been favorable to business prospects.
The official crop report for July 1stwas
an assurance of large yield. Gold ex-
ports were stopped by the Stacking OF
provements here in the offering of
commercial bills. The treasury put
out money more easily and the demand
from the interior was made without
change of rates here.
The railroads made great progress,
apparently, toward a settlement OF
their controversies. and the stock mar
ket took an upward turn on Thursday.
Pork products have been weaker, but
with no great change. and oats are lsc
lower. The average prices OF all COM
moditieS has moved upward 1t per cent
during the week.
The reports from interior towns
show that collections have improved
where there has been most complaint,
and the latest accounts are more salts
factory than usual. At Chicago the
banks have been so far prudent, with
an eye to the probable commercial de-
mands in the near future, that bro
kerS are circulating rumOr that
banking trust has been formed, though
outside money does not appear to be
obtainable at better than 5 per cent.
Indications point TO some monetary
pressure this fall unless the treasury
succeeds in disbursing freely. The
great industries are on the whole in
better shape, though some signs of
danger are discoverable. Some south
ern pig iron recently offered in vain
at $3.50, has been sold at SIT. The
great strike at the Carnegie mills,
accompanied with violence at the
very outset may lead to rather ex-
tended disturbance of industry. Stock
exchange has been strengthened by the
very favorable accounts of negotiations
between railroad managers. The aver
age of prices is a fraction higher than
week ago, not including the trust
stocks which have caused another SEN
sation by the disclosure of the amounts
outstanding. The information that
SS3 200 600 of lead trust stocks $50, OO0.-
600 of sugar, S42 600 600 of cotton oil,
$3l 200, 600 of whisky and $13 600 900 of
cattle trust were outstanding caused a
break in lead and some selling in
others.
The business failures during the last
seven days were 2O9 against 202 last
week and 215 the week previous to the
last. For the same week of last year
the figures were 240.

Wellington was travelling man who
had caused separation between the
doctors daughter and her husband,
and persisted in making frequent visits
to the faithlesS wife at Clay Center.
Friends warned him of the danger of
going there so often, but, infatuated
with the woman, and dead to shame,
he could not stay away. On his last
visit, he encountered her father on the
street, who shot him through the head
