An Agreeable Surprise.

Surprises may be pleasant or unpleasant,
depending entirely upon literature Of the
occasion and its results. There are proba-
lily but few who would consider the an
nouncement of series of low-rate excur-
slons anything but agreeable. for if they are
not themselves contemplating trip, it may
be of interest to their friends who would
take advantage of such reductions.
The Minneapolis & St. Louis railway will
sell tickets at one fare for the round trip on
April 22d, May Goth. September 9th and 23d
and October 14th, to all points west of
Franklin onthe Watertown Line, also, from
II points on it's lines to points west of the
Missouri or, to the south and to the
northwest. The limit on such tickets will
be thirty days with stop-over privileges.
Information will be cheerfully furnished by

Close by, in the stiffness of the night,

invalid. But once the nerves are braoed
and the system invigorated with Hostetter'e
Stomach Bitters, this abnormal sensitivenesa
is succeeded by a tranquility not to be dis
turbed by trivial causes. impaired digestion
is fertile cause of nerve weakness and I'M
natural mental gloom, and a vigorous re-
newal of the action of the stomach is one OF
the surest means Of invigorating and quiet
ing the nerves. Insomnia, or sleeplessness, a
form of nervous disease, is unquestionably
benefited by sedatives, when it is pro-
lonRed, or of frequent occurrence, but its
permanent removal ia more effectuallv

is also signally eficacious for malaria, rheu-
matism. constipation, liver complaint, and
torpidity of the kidneys and bladder.

considering the offer and making
up counter propositions. Saturday
morning both commissions met in
joint session and the Cherokees
submitted their proposition which
calls for So 80 per acre for the land;
the abrogation of the 10Th article
Of the treaty Of 1865; the removal
Of the freedmen Of the Cherokee
nation to the strip with an allow
ance Of eighty acres Of land to each
adult and forty acres TO each mi
nor; the removal Of intruders and
the settlement of all unadjusted
claims against the United States.
This proposition the u. S. COM
missioners received and said they
would give notice Of their answer,
which it is understood, will be at
10 o'clock to-day.
1t is generally believed a trade
will be made, although the com.
missioners on the part of both are
very reticent and say but little as
to what they think the result will
be. All are much pleased with
the manner and spirit of Gov.
Jerome.

A REACTION SET IN.

Since the passage Of the per
capita bill over tho chiefs veto,
and on mature reflection, many
persons, both in and out of coun-
ell, begin to realize that a mistake
has been made. Further than
this, there it manifest some dis
position TO rectify it. To declare
a dividend to the stock holders
when a corporation was badly in
debt would be pronounced very
poor hnanciering and certainly
methods which would be fatal in
private enterprises cannot prove
very satisfactory when applied to
the conduct of the nation. Not a
few members admit that they
would like to vote for a repeal OF
the law and the transfer Of $50, 900
or 100000 of the appropriation to
the general fund for the settle
ment Of outstanding indebtedness
The average member, however,
harbors grave apprehensions as to
the views his constituents would
take on this subject. Still, there is
more than a possibility that such a
proposition will be made and it is
certainly to be hoped it will find
its supporters in the majority,
The various steps in the passage
of this bill through council dis
closed a series of political moves.
Now that it has passed, the chic f
has vetoed it and IL has still be-
come a law, the political bearing
of the measure has lost much of its
interest and the cold, hard facts
have shown themselves again. To
be sure, the people will not toler-
ate, good-naturedly, the squander-
ing of any portion of this $500, 600
but the people can always be de-
pended upon to lend approval to
every measure which is just and
right.

GENERAL NOTES.

"A large portion of the time Of
this session was spent on the rolls
of the several Districts - revising
them.
Nothing has been before this
council except the election of Of
licers that brought out the political
lines.
The demise of James NJ. Mon.
roe, member from Delaware dis
trict, was sad affair. lie became
suddenly sick one night and was
never conscious from the start.
Phillips and Peabody are yet
hangers on, both having succeeded
in getting something upon the
appropriation bill of claims, which
was lodged in the senate the last
day.
The town corporation and the
Arkansas law has had a whole
some influence on the behavior
usually attending council which
caused comment by old attendants
here.
Less time was spent in debate
than ever before and it was con-
Anel to few .aembers-Col. Ross,
Wolfe, Bell, Gray aud Bunch, of
tho senate, Vann, Jackson, Spade
and Gritts, of the council.
The present session, altogeth-
er,was more agreeable than usual;
the clash and wrsngle Of last year
was avoided this time and only
one veto-the per capita bill
which was, with little debate,
passed by two-thirds majority.
The per capita bill and the
bill TO force the treasurer to return
his 90 per cent. on collections on
the strip, and the chief to pay
over the S6250 he collected, pro-
voked the greatest discussion in
the council. Jackson and Vann
espoused the terms of the bill
with Spade and Gritts against it,
the two latter in the native tongue.
Gritts closed his argument with
motion that if upon investigation
it was found the chief had no au-
thority to collect tax, he be sus-
pended from office.

TEE STRIP NEGOTIATIONS.
A Proposition by the q. 8. and a
Counter Proposition.

TAHLEouAH. /. T., Dec. s, 1890.
The Cherokee and U. S. COM
missions, after having organized
last week, were addressed al
length by Gov. Jerome, chairman
Of the commission for the U S.
He stated at the outset in a bus
mess way that he was a business
man and not a diplomat; that his
life had been a commercial one
and that the business of their COM
mission was to buy the lands of
the Cherokees west of 96 degrees;
that he wanted the Cherokees to
be free from embarrassment and
restraint, and not feel that any
pressure was being brought to
bear to induce trade; that they
(the Cherokees) were tree to act
as they saw proper; to make any
propositions they deemed best Tor
the interests of themselves and
that any proposition they made
would be considered. He said
they, the U. S. commission, did
not feel themselves restrained by
the instructions, as whatever was
done had to be ratified by con-
gress and he believed the act OF
congress creating them gave them
that scope. If the Cherokees ac-
cepted the terms upon which the
U. s. bought the Creek lands, the
trade was already ratified by con-
gress; but if the Cherokees did
not see proper to accept that they
might agree upon something else.
Then it would have to be ratified
by congress, but whatever might
be done, he insisted upon a free
discussion and an agreement II
possible. IL none could be reach
ed no one need be disturbed over
the result. He also stated that il
only a money consideration was
to be considered, that would be
one thing. but if other considera-
tions were embraced in the propo-
siiions by the Cherokees that
would be another thing.
After the talk the controversy
arose as to who should make the
first proposition. Messrs. Bell
Gray and Ross insisted on the u
$ making the FIRST offer, MrGray
stating that the CherOkees would
insist upon other grievances being
settled. when Wilson, Of the u s.
insisted two OF three times TO
know what grievances they had 10
present. Hooly Bell curtly re-
piled, "To be let alone;" that
settled Mr.. Wilson.
The U. S. commissioners finally
agreed to make the first proposition
which was read by Mr.. Sayre. Il

rnE cALL Session

TAiLEQuAu, Dec v loSO,
Council met in extra session At
10 o'clock Monday morning and
in the senate it took some "rus-
Ting" TO get quorum. Each
house notified the chief that II
was ready for business and at 2
O'Clock, when they ro-convencd,
his message was read.
The chief recommended nppro-
priations for the high and primary
schools, Jail, Advocate, etc. He
argued at length the propriety Of
taking at least 100000 of the per
capita money and applying it to
the payment of the public debt
Among other things he says:
For the three years Immediately
preceding my induction into this
Office there was S104, ,649.95 used
out of the fund derived from the
lease of our grazing lands for
school and other purposes This
deficiency had been supplied in
like manner for many years pre-
vious to this time. Although
since my arrival in Office the lease
fund has been double its for
mer amount, it has been placed
where it is pretended it cannot
be used for any but per capita
purposes. The annuity for next
January will be S24, 440 81, gen
eral fund, SIS, 1000 of which goes
indirectly to the Choctaws. F"
Hence he says we have nothing to
meet the exigency. He sympa-
thizes with the destitute and needy
but says he thinks the first thing
to be considered is the credit and
perpetuity Of the nation. The
necessity of delegation is urged.

GREAT AMERICAN MAGAZINE.
Tho Success of 1.-THE Century
and It's Plans for 1901.

The Century Magazine is now
so well-known that to tell OF its
past success seems almost an old
story. The N. Y. Tribune has
said that it and its companion
ST Nicholas for Young Folks, is.
sued by the same house, "are read
by every one person in thirty OF
the country's population, ,"-and
large editions Of both are sent be-
yond the seas. 1t is an interest
ing fact that few years ago it was
found that seven thousand copies
of The Century went to Scotland, -
quite a respectable edition in
itself. The question in England
is no longer "Who reads an
American book ?" but "Who does
not see the American magazines p"
A tew years ago The Century
about doubled its circulation with
the famous WaE~ Papers, by Gen
eral Grant and others, adding
many more readers later with
the Lincoln history and Kennan's
thrilling articles on the Siberian
Exile System. One great feature
Of 1891 is to be "The Gold Hun
ters of California" describing that
remarkable movement to the gold
fields in 40, in n series of richly
illustrated articles ,0ritten by sur
virors, including the narratives of
men who went to California by the
different routes, accounts Of the
gold discoveries, life in the mines,
the work of the vigilance commit
tees (by the chairman of the COM
mittees) etc, etc. General FIRE.
mont's last writing was done for
this series. In November APP
pears the opening article, "The
First Emigrant Train to Califor-
MIA, ,"-crossing the Rockies in
lS4l by General Bidwell, a pio-
neer Of pioneers. Thousands of
American families who had some
relatives or friends among "the
Argonauts of '94n will be interest
ed in these papers.
Many other good things are
coming, - the narrative of an
American S travels through that
unknown land Tibet 600 miles
over ground never before trod by
a white man) the experiences OF
escaping War-Prisoners; American
Newspapers described by we'll
known Journalists; accounts of the
great Indian Fighters, Custer and
others; personal anecdotes of Lin
coin, by his private secretaries;
The Faith Doctor" novel by
Edward Eggleston, with a wonder
fully rich programme Of novelettes
and stories by most Of the leading
writers, ETC., etc.
II is also announced that The
Century has purchased the right to
print, before its appearance in
France or any other country, ex-
tracts from advance sheets of the
famous Talleyrand Memories,
which have been secretly preserv-
ed for half a century-to be first
given to the world through the
pages Of an American magazine.
All Europe is eagerly awaiting the
publication Of this personal history
Of Talleyrand-greatest Of intrigu-
ers and diplomats.

A RESOLUTION passed the U. S.
senate few days ago authorizing
a committee of that body to visit
This territory and endeavor to. .ex-
pedite negotiations for the Strip.
The prospects are that we can get a
better trade out of the senate than
out Of the interior department or a
commission which is under the
secretary's control. Let US take
courage.
