Death of Adam CLARK.

great many people throughout the
Indian Territory will regret to learn
of the death of Adam Clark which oc-
cured some time since at his home in
Lawrence. Years ago he was mer-
chant in Chetopa but reverses result
ing from the credit system drove him
out Of trade aud he went to Sac and
Fox Agency and for time was book
keeper loEJol9 Whistler and otlers
at that point. From that place he
moved to Econtuchka, in the Seminole
nation, where he was able to handle a
large volume Of the Sac and Fox In
dian trade. By care and thrift he
here accumulated a moderate compe-
tency with which home in Lawrence
was purchased and farm near by.

THE LATE COL. BoUDINoT.
Resolutions OF Respect Adopted
by the Bar, Dec. 8, 1890.

Whereas, since the last session of
this court it has pleased Almighty
God to call home our beloved friend
and distinguished professional broth
er, COL L. q. Boudinot. therefore be
it resolved, by the Bar OF the United
States court for the Indian Territory,
held at Muskogee:
lst. That in the death Of Col .Boud.
mot the Bar Of the Indian Territory
has loet one of its most eminent and
exemplary members aud one who was
endeared to us all by the many amia-
bic traits of his character. He was a
courageous and honorable man, a
faithful lawyer Of high attainments,
an eloquent advocate, an educated
and mplished gentleman, who
was ever courteous aud kind to his
professional brethren and who carried
with him into all the walks Of life a
geniaity. a culture and go)d humor
which shed light aud commanded
respect and admiration, whether NOV
ing in the humble sphere of his own
people, or among the most afiluent and
powerful, and honored, Of the nation.
End. That as the blood OF the two
races ran in his veins, so he exempli.
fed IN his life many Of the best char
acteristics Of both the Indian and
Anglo Saxon. His heart was singularly
devoid of race prejudice or Partially,
and he loved his friends and family
among both with equal fervor. The
just and impartial spiut Of the man,
his anxiety for the welfare OF the
Cher0kees, his statesmanship, knowl-
edge and forecast OF events, led him
TO the advocacy Of advanced positions
among his own people, which for a
season estranged them from him, but
time vindicated and is still vindicating
his wisdom and foresight, aud at the
period Of his sad taking of in the
prime Of a vigorous manhood, ostra-
eism had been transformed into pop
ularity and he was welcomed around
all the fires of the Cherokees.
3rd. That we sincerely and pro-
foundly lament his death aud warmly
cherish the bright example he has
left Us as a legacy 70 his professional
brethren and the whole country.
9Th. That a copy Of these rcsolu-
tions be sent to bis bereaved widow to
whom we extend our heariiest sym-
pathies and that they be spread upon
the records Of the Z. S. court Tor the
Indian Territory.

A Remnrknhla November.

Even though it be somewhat Of a
back number considering the foot OF
snow we have had since) it may be of
interest to know that the late Novem :
ber was ono of the four warmest OF
which the Lawrence University has
record. In 1870, 1874 and 1889
the month was but slightly war
mei, the mean temperatures being
A 81, 1925. degrees. No other Nov
ember has had 50 small per-
centage OF cloudiness. The rainfall
was 2.56 inches, which is O.8O inch
above the November average. Rain
fell in measurable quantities on five
days. There were no thunder showers.
The entire rainfall for the IL months
of 1890 now complete, has been 35.32
inches, which is 50 inches above the
average for the same months in the
preceding % years, and 0.22 inch
above the average annual rainfall for
that station.

THE ELECTRICAL STREET RAILROAD
AGAIN,

Fears are entertained that the Electrical
Street Railway franchise will yet be de.
feated. 1t is to be hoped that there will
be no such disastrous result. The request
of the stockholders that it shall be pro
vided that the question of the road becom-
ing nuisance, if it ever arises, shall be
passed upoa by the Courts of the land is a
reasonable one. Why two of the Trustees
should refuse to consider il, passes compre-
hension. Why they should refuse to hear
the petitioners, is incomprehensible The
right of petition is a sacred one, not even
denied by an enemy. 1t is of our history
that Congressman once presented petit
ton favoring the dissolution of the Union,
though he was an uncompromising Union
ist himself
The Trustees know that the people of
the city want the electrical road. The
grant has been surrounded by many condi-
tions; one of them takes from the Courts
of the land the right to determine, if the
road ever becomes dangerous to life or
health, whether it should be pronounced a
nuisance. 1t IS asked that this proviso be
amended so as 10 have the Courts pass upon
any such possible issue. Totbis two OF the
Trustees object, and walk out of the
Council Chamber. We submit that this is
not becoming conduct; that what is asked
is but reasonable, and that it has been pc
titioned for properly. If the loss of the
road results from the refusal Of the
Trustees TO hear and grant the petition,
the city will be seriously injured enter
prise and capital will not soon again knock
at our DOORS and energetic men viii de-
cline to make ventures in this community.
Let the two Trustees who walked out
and left the petitioners request un-
granted reflect that an appeal to the
Courts is the proper resort to determine il
a scientific apparatus in use in public roads
is dangerous to human kind. Before our
Coutts we try facts under the law, and do
Justice under the accepted methods of de-
termuing the truth. Why should the
Trustees refuse to trust such determination
to the Courts instead of to municipal
board not judicial in character?
We trust that cooler moments viii bring
wiser counsel, and that the electrical rail
way will be promoted, not killed off.
