TOPEKA. Kan, July S-Surveyors
representing the United States Geolog-
ical Survey are camped at Logan,
Phillips County, gathering figures for
a map of the State. This survey is
geographical in purpose, and the results
are chiefly of scientific value. Some of

value, the chief of which is that the
typographical map being constructed
may be used as the basis of the engi-
neering surveys now being made

retaining by irrigation those lands

SAVAGE klckApoos.

They Refuse to Treat After Eating the Gov
eminent Cow-Rumor of Taking the War
Path.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok, July 3.-The
Cherokee Commission arrived here yes
terday after a trip among the Indians.
They were successful in negotiating
with the Iowas, Sacs and Foxes. Shaw
nees and Pottawatomies, but failed with
the Kickapoos. The latter tribe Is the
widest one in the Territory and Wa
Ba-Ma-Sha, the chief, refused fatty to
have any thing to do with the Com
mission and the other members of the
tribe maintained q suspicious and
menacing attitude. The Commission
ers ordered COW feast. but after
the beef was all devoured the In
dams still maintained their deter
mination not to listen to any PROPOSE
lions. They gathered together, while.
their chief, Wa Ba-sda-Sba, told the
Commissioners of this determination,
and when Governor Jerome attempted
to speak the chief made a gesture and
in minute the Governor was without
an Indian audience. Without further
parley and being naturally anxious to
get away from such savage set of peo-
pie the Comm issioners broke camp.
The Commission will leave to-day for
Fort Reno, where they will pave the,
way for negotiations with the Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes.
The failures with the Kickapoos is
likely to result in the Commission rec
ommending that these Indians be re-
moved or else compelled to take allot-
ments. They hold their reservation by
executive order only There are some
rumors that these Indians are on the
point Of running away to the mountains
of Mexico again.

Wicked Feeling Working Up Over Original
Package Shipments-Bloody Riots Not
Unlikely.
OTTAWA, Kan, July 3.-Another sem
sation was created here yesterday over
the original package" question. At an
early hour two agents of a Kansas City
house made their appearance in Ottawa
and employed dray to convey their
goods from the Santa Fe depot, to 121
Main street This fact had no sooner
been noised about than church bells be-
gan ringing and hundreds of the citi-
zens were to be seen rushing pellmell
toward the spot. The original package"
men were already there, and on being
confronted by the Infatuated mob and
asked to return to Kansas City they re-
fused.
While thus parleying dray load Of
packages arrived, which had the effect
to excite to unbounded fury large
majority of citizens present.
They accordingly attacked the wagon,
unhiched the horse, and rushed down a
back alley with the dray and contents.
They had not proceeded far, however,
until the wagon containing 1.-The
packages" broke down and scattered
the packages" about upon the ground
A convenient wagon was brought into
service and the packages" conveyed to
the Santa Fe depot and reshipped to the
firm at Kansas City.
The package" men, with their attor-
ney, ]. w. De Ford, left on the after
noon train for Topeka and their final
actions will no doubt determine the
course of the citizens.
Public feeling, while opposed to the
opening of an original package" house,
is not at all one-sided and great riot
may be the outcome of another attempt
to start one in this city.
