With Indians as Agenta.

CALDWELL. KS, August 25.-J. B.
Mayes, chief of the Cherokee nation,
with twenty-five of his followers, is al
this place to-day holding conference
with the cattlemen. The recent order
of President Harrison admitting Cher
okees to hold cattle in the strip in their
own name is virtually turning over that
country to the cattlemen again, and
while it will not benefit the Cherokees
as a nation, few of them will receive
great benefits.
Thousands of cattle will be transferred
by bill OF sale and otherwise to the In
dams within the next few days by the
cattlemen. OF course there will be a
silent understanding that those cattle
will be sold back to their original own
ers when they are ready for market at
an advance ofS2 or 81 per head, which
will amount to great sum to the indi-
vidual Indian who will have in his pos
session from 5000 to 10000 cattle. Be
sides, it will be cheap grazing for the
cattlemen.
Chief Mayes and his followers are all
very jubilant over this victory. and say
that the presidents concession is an adj
mission of their absolute title to the
strip. They propose to carry things
with high hand, and no one will take
anything from the strip from now on
without paying tribute to Chief Mayes
or some Of his followers.
Here is an example OF what the Kan
sas farmers along the state line will
have to compete with from now on:
One man made contract with the
CherOkees this morning. for the privi-
lege of cutting 800 tons of hay from the
strip within four miles OF Caldwell at
thirt--five cents ton. Another man
has an option on a stone quarry just
across the line at such figure that
the quarry here cannot possibly COM
pete against it.
At an informal meeting this forenoon
Chief Mayes offered to compromise the
suit for 5000, 1000 recently begun against
the cattlemen for $4,000, and it is
limited that before night he will accept
a smaller sum and the suit will be dis
missed.
There is very bitter feeling against
the administration here because OF the
presidents action. The southern Kan.
sas farmer has had to compete with In
dian territory cattle always. He has
had TO pay taxes on his stock and pas
ture them on land worth from $l5 to
S25 an acre, while just across the line
were cattle that were placed on the
market at 4 years OF age at a cost of not
more than $40. The people OF this Vi
cinity will hold an Indignation meeting
Saturday and express their sentiment
on the situation and forward them to
Washington.

PROPERTY SECURITY FOR MONEY
The Financial Ideas of Mr.. westrup.

The Financial Ideas of Mr.. Westrup.
TOPEKA. Kas., August PA mum,
Der Of alliance leaders were recently
in secret meeting with Alfred P. West,
rup OF Chicago, editor OF the Auditor
ium, the organ Of the mutual bank pro.
paganda, and listened to the idea he is
advocating on financial matters. Mr..
Westrup is an avowed anarchist and
does not believe in government. Con-
sequently he does not take much inter
est in the sub-treasury scheme OF the
peoples party. What he wants is a
mutual organization that will issue its
own money regardless OF the govern
ment and entirely independent OF it.
His plan is to make all property, whether
personal or real, basis Of credit
for its owner who will put in an appear
ance at the office OF the mutual banking
propaganda, register there his belong
ings and on the strength OF it receive h
receipt which will entitle him to a GER
tain amount Of credit, the understand
ing being that his property is ample
security for its payment.
These receipts or certificates OF credit
are intended to circulate freely as
money. which Westrup thinks they
will do without trouble. He has been
in the city several days talking his plan
over quietly with the leaders of the
new party and so finally arranged for
the little meeting which was held in A.
NJ. Mackay's Office. He pOr-
trayed to the finauciers in the new par
" the advantage OF his more advanced
ideas and urged those present to use
their influence in securing for his
scheme the Endorsement of the peoples
party in its platform in this state.
He assured them that the peO-
pies party of Kansas had progressed
further on this line of thought than
any other in the country and he in
sisted that they were sufficiently ad
vanced in financial education TO take
the study of his higher course.
The Kansans who attended the meet
ing, while they are in favor of all the
money they can get from the sub-treas-
ury and everything else in the list of
categories OF the proposed financial leg
islation, are hardly prepared at this
time to take the power of making
money from the government provided
the government will make enough for
them. They promised Mr.. Westrup
after he had answered all the knotty
questions propounded to him they
would take the matter under advisement

Big Consolidation Scheme.

TOPEKA. KS, August 25.-Tne alli-
ance commercial convention of Kansas
which will convene in this city to-mor-
row gives promise OF being largely at
tended. Delegates have already COM
menced to arrive and alliance leaders
believe that much substantial good will
result from their deliberations. The
convention will be composed of the
members Of the farmers alliance, indus
trial union, the national indus
trial alliance, the Knights
of Labor, the farmers mutua-
benefit association, the mutual pro-
tective association, the alliance mutual
benefit society, the Kansas alliance ex-
channe COMPANY, the alliance insur-
ance company, the elevator company
and other commercial offshoots from
the farmers alliance.
Each county alliance is asked to send
at least one delegate and each organiza-
tion is entitled to representa-. ion. The
object of the convention as stated in the
call is to exchange ideas upon the i'm
portance and necessity Of maintaining
and building up the numerous CO.
operative associations now in exist
ence or hereafter to be organized, such
as insurance companies. fire, life, and
hail mutual protective associations,
Kansas alliance exchange company and
other kindred organizations. The in-
tention is to economic by placing all
these institutions under one manage
ment and thus simplify the machinery
by which they are operated. Alliance
business institutions are increasing in
Kansas in numbers at q very rapid rate
and should the attempt to organize
them az one association prove success
ul it will be one of the most gigantic
BUSINESS concerns in the country.

TOPEKA, KS, Aug. 24.-In his report
for August Professor Snow says that

demand for infected bugs has greatly
lessened, but $50 lots OF bugs have been
sent out during the month, making a
total to date Of 1850 lots, At pres

errors in manipulation, lack of careful
and intelligent observation and prede
termined unfavorable results, as spoken
of above, are considered. Encouraging
also, is the fact that in many instances
where unfavorable reports have been
received, a second or even a third trial
has resulted in success. In not a few Of
these cases the reason for the first I'M
favorable results were apparent and
were not such as would initiate against
the value of the remedy.
Field Agent Hickey has returned

A SURPRISE ron DIR. TEvIs.
His Charges Against Elder GIL Dismissed
by the Senior Preacher.

by the Senior Preacher.
KANSAS CITY, August 24.-The
charges against the Rev. Edward Gill,
presiding elder of the Leavenworth dis
trict OF the Methodist church, with
headquarters at Baldwin, Ks. have
been quashed. The charges VT re
brought by the Rev. DIR. A. II. Tevls
formerly pastor of the Washington
Avenue Methodist church. and were
filed with Bishop Merrill, June 18th.
The charges were:
First-Of creating dissension in the
Washington Avenue church.
Second-Defamation OF character in
stating in the bishops cabinet during
the annual conference that DIR. Tevis
was not fit man to occupy a pulpit for
the reason that he was addicted to the
mOraphine, chloral and opium habits.
Third-Lying in denying that he had
made these statements referred to in
the second charge.
These were supplemented by fourth
charge OF lying at the ecclesiastical
court during the trial OF DIR. Tevis
This last charge was filed after the con
cluslon OF the church trial aud the sus
from the Methodist church.
Bishop Merrill referred the charge:
hook to DIR. Tevis with instructions tt
file them with three senior ministers o
this district for investigation, accord
ing to the rule of the discipline where
in charges are made against presid
ing elder. DIR. Tevis accordingly re
ferred the charges to the Rev. John A
Simpson, pastor Of the First Methodist
church of Kansas City, KS.
The Rev. Mr.. Simpson is one OF the
senior preachers of this district. He
returned from Minneapolis, Mimi, thi:
morning, where he has been spending
his vacation, and to a reporter he sale
that the charges against Elder Gill haG
been dismissed.
Upon receiving the information
against Elder Gill ne conferred with
the Rev. w. G. Osbourne of Wellsville
Kas., and the Rev, c. r. HOuts of Gar
dener, Kas., both senior preachers
Their conclusion was that on account o
the pending civil suit OF the Rev. Mr.
Tevis against the Rev. Mr.. Gill for $40,
600 damages for alleged defamation o.
character, which allegation is the same
as the charge brought against Elder
Gill before the committee, it would bt
wise for the committee to dismiss the
charges. This was accordingly done
and they were dropped. DIR. Tevis
however, has not been notified OF the
action OF the committee, and only few
days ago he wrote letter to Bishop w
Y. Ninde telling him of the delay and
asking him to investigate the matter.

Girl Who Posed as . Spirit at o sesnce
Discovered IN Hiding.
TOPEKA, August A.-The following
story was sent out by the Associated
Press last night and published this
morning:
ONSET BAY, Mass, August 17.-Yes-
terday the Onset Bay association
through its executive officers served q
formal written notice upon Mrs. Eta
Roberts of Rochester, N. Y, request.
ing that she leave the grounds OF the
association.
Mrs. Roberts gave seance In her
cottage last Thursday to a party that
included Mrs. DR.. Blande of Washing
ton, ID. c., NJ. B. Little Of Glen's Falls,
and Mrs. Lillian Wood and Mrs. F.
Baker of Topeka, KS. 1t became evil
dent to those assembled that all was
not as it should be and at the close OF
the seance Mrs. Little and Mrs. Baker
took possession OF the cabinet for the
purpose of Investigating. They found
secreted beneath bed Miss Annie
West OF Topeka, Kansas, who had been
preambulating about the room as q
spirit and had made such poor work
that the party easily perceived the de-
ception. They also found other evil
dences of fraud and made report OF
their discovery to the officers of the as
ISOLATION.
This story is probably mixed. F. P.
Baker and other we'll known spiritual
lists of this city have attended the an
nual conventions Of spiritualists at
Onset bay for years and Mr.. Baker is
there now. Mrs. F. p. Baker, to whom
reference is made, is now in Topeka.
Mrs. Lillian Wood is also resident OF
Topeka. Nothing is known here OF
Miss Annie West, who posed as the
ghost. 1t is claimed that an alleged
medium named Mrs. West gave seances
here years ago, but whether they are
one and the Same person is not known.
