MAyFSJ MESSAGE

TALLEQUAH. J. T., Nov. 5.-Chief Mayes
has delivered his message TO the national
council. He stated the financial condition
Of bis people and drew picture of the
gloomiesu times. He cite 1.-THE condition of
the western land and brought to light all
the difficulties in collecting the $lO0, 600
due the Cherokees for the lease cf the strip
and urged that some steps be takS1 by the
council to force the cattle men to lay the
revenue, impressing very fOrcibly the en-
barrassing position that the nation world
he in unless the money was collected to
defray expenses. He stated that he would
ubmit a proposition to the council by
which this money could be collected and
urged that the legislature act advisedly
and not too hasty in this important Ques-
tion; that il they should allow political
strife to govern them the nation might
lose thousands of dollars. In conclusion
he asked that a strong police force be
authorized TO take charge of the improve
ments left by the Cherokee Live Stock as
sociation on the strip. II. few words he
recommended that strong delegation be
sent TO Washington at the next session Of
congress, and that S300.000 per capita pay
ment be paid as provided by law To bona
fide citizens and favored the appointment
OF revenue officers.
Mayes is of the same opinion aS o. old in
regard TO the strip and said that today the
land was worth from S3 TO $40 per acre.
Regarding the intruder question he said
that nothing had been done in regard TO
moving them bv the United States, al
though they had been reported time and
time again and urged that the council
make n strong appeal to the government
for assistance in ridding the country Of
this nuisance.
A large audience listened TO the delivery
OF the message which occupied two hours
time. The council then adjourned until
mnrnin I.

to be suspended for failure TO pay their per

cept perhaps two. Counting one hundred
members for these five lodges will give us
as the net increase for the year l,759 There
has been but one year that the order in this
jurisdiction had larger increase, and that
was the year ending June 30, 1880 We

PAL MFRS CAMPAIGN

CHICAGO, Nov 5-Great interest has
been felt in Illinois i'm the outcome of the
vigorous canvass which Gen. !. NJ Palmer
has made for the election of the majority
of the general assembly on joint ballot.
Early in June the Democrats departed
from their usual custom. and named Gen
Palmer in state convention as the senator
ial candidate against Charles B. Farwell
the present incumbent Gen. Palmer has
made personal canvass of the state in be-
half of his party. The Republicans have
had an advantage of several members in
the politics of hOldOver senators. and this
alone has prevented the Democrats from
carrying the general assembly, if. indeed,
they have been unsuccessful. Both parties
tonight are claiming a majority on Joint
ballot, and the Democrats are hopeful of
electing Gen. Palmer to succeed Senator
Farwell. In the doubtful districts
throughout the state the Democrat have
almost uniformly won, by electing two
majority representatives., as well as a sena-
tor in the districts where senators were to
be elected. The house will certainly be
very close, with the chances in favor of
the Democrats on the face of the incom-
plete returns.

A wonderfuI rriumph of SURGERY,

From Paris comes the report of a most
extraordinary surgical operation which has
resulted in giving intelligence to an idiot.
The patient, an inmate Of the Children's
hospital, is girl years old. She had
deforIned head of small size; never
smiled, never took notice of anything and
could neither walk nor stand. Dr. Ian
nelongue, an eminent specialist, became
convinced shat the condition of the little
creature wss due 70 the abnormal narrow
ness Of the head, which hindered the nat
ural grow Ga OF the brain. Some time ago
he made long incision at the center of the
skull, ana cut out portion of the left side
of It, taking care not to injure the dura
mater. The result of the operation WAS
astounding The child began - walk in
lcsa than a month, and now she smiles,
tabes interest in everything around her
sDd plays with doll. She has been ele-
waited from the rank Of an animal to that
Of an intelligent human being.

appeared. He then drew a prstoE put 1t 20
bis temple and fired. The aim was true
he fell dead
Almost at the same instant a pistol
sounded in the room above, and when the
landlady entered it she found Emile lying
on her back on the bed, her night robe
slightly opened in front, a small hole in
her breast, and the pistol lying on the floor.
The ball had gone straight through the
heart and lodged just under the skin Of
the back The pistols were of the same
make, and had been bought by Koch the
previous day. When he walked home with
Emile in the evening he carried them in
paper candy box, and at friends, whore
they remained while, they spoke of the
contents as those precious candies"
The funerals of the two suicides took
place at the same time. Their bodies were
reduced to ashes in cremstory on Long
Island. A large, riotOus and indecently
curious crowd witnessed the ceremonies.

THEY DIED AT DAWN.
Sensational Suicide of a Young Actress
and Her Artist Lover.

Sensational Suicide of a Young Actress
and Her Artist Lover.
Gustave G. Koch and Emile Rossi have
astonished the country by a mutual agree
ment to die and cotemporary or double
suicide-he handsome. wronged and en-
bittered man; she an ardent, sentimental
and unbalanced woman-both far from
their native Germany, and by temperament
unfit to adapt themselves to the hard, ma
terial life of New York.
The case is to the last degree remarkable,
and the gradual unfolding of events which
made the man mental wreck is curious
as anything in the imagination of Zola or
Gaboriau. Gustave Koch was a young and
handsome Austrian-German, who had
served his time in the Austrian army and
came at once to America, where he soon
married woman who proved unfaithful
to him. Her guilt was conclusively proved
and the proof was, indeed, realistically
a sly use Of the snap shot photograph
camera, Koch's employer, a photographer,
making the arrangements for this proof
The sensational details were published
and Koch obtained a divorce, but in the in
terval of waiting he had formed the ac-
quaintance at his boarding house of the
young and beautiful Emile Rossi. Her
father was a well known singer of Berlin;
her mother was, and still is, a writer of short
stories for the German magazines The girl
inherited to large degree the talents Of
both, but the self control of neither. She
was educated with view to making her
the wife of some noble or well to do Ger
man, but revolted and became an actress,
against the angry protest of her mother.
They were sadly estranged, and as far as
can now be known this was the melting
cause of her self destruction.
The passionate, romantic, beautiful girl
and the sad, sentimental Koch met. He
loved her and she esteemed him; she
went to Germany, only to get stern re-
buke from her mother; she returned and
received a telegram which seemed to add

SUICIDE.

GOSHEN, Ind, Nov. 5.-The suicide at
Etna Green proves to have been much
more horrible than at first reported. Asa
Gray. prosperous young farmer, called at
the home of Miss Eva Pottinger and asked
her, for the second time. to become his
wife. She declined, whereupon Gray
seized her around the neck with one arm,
pressing his face close up to hers, and with
his right hand placed 3S-calibre revolver
to his head and fired, the ball penetrating
his brain and causing instant death. His
brains and blood besp altered Miss Pott-
inger's face and garments. She has be-
come a raving lunatic.

RIRCAAI [

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 5-Petitions from
Great Britain for the reprieve of Birchall
were received al the department of justice
today. They are two in number, and were
signed by persons in all parts of England
and Wales. They bear 1890 signatures.
The main ground upon which commuta-
tion is asked is that the case was unduly
prejudiced by the dishonest practices of
Birchall, and by the supposed motives
suspicion of the existence of a system of
decOying young gentlemen to Canada as
agricultural pupils for purpose of murder
ing them for their money; that the whole
evidence on the part of the prosecution
was circumstantial, and, in the opinion of
the memorialists, so unsatisfactory as not
to justify conviction. Among the memoir
alists are the mother of the condemned
man and his half-brother.
