from the United States treasury. if the

G. A. Smith, of st. Louis, yesterday:
The government got the land at much
less than it was worth, simply because.
under the government treaty with the
Chickasaw nation, it was imp ossible TO
sell the land to private individuals There
was syndicate made up, OF which 5. b.
Elkins was the representative, which
offered IS an acre for this land. That
meant nearly $4,000 600. Every possible
effort was made TO get this offer accepted
by the government, but there was no way
in which it could be done. | had some in

about the disposition of the money that
theChickasaws will receive. believe Judge
Love and the other Chickasaw COM
missioner are now in Washington closing
up the transaction. The Chickasaw peo-
pie, as | understand it, get only about one
fourth of the entire amount, out of which
attorneys fees are to be paid. There will
be about 500 900 to be divided among the
5000 persons who comprise the nation
that is, little over Sll6 apiece. The man
with a large family, you see, gets a good
pull at the payment, while the young
bucks get left. The Chickasaws have
about 5000, 600 acres left after this transac-
ton, and understand they would like to
sell half of it, but it would certainly be
only fair to them that the government
should allow them to sell it to private in
diyiduals."

STOP IT.

Among the noteworthy incidents of the
late election is the fact that Mayor
Clement, of Wichita, who was a candidate
for reelection was badly defeated The
particular thing which makes this note
worthy is that Mayor Clement was a
strong resubmissionist. He stumped the
state on that issue last fall.-Lyons Re-
publican.
The noteworthy point in the foregoing
item is that the parson who wrote it did
not know what he was talking about and
drew upon his imagination for a con-
clusion. Nh. Clement was and is a repre-
sentative resubmissionist, but so also
were and are two Of his rivals for the
mayoralty-one of them the successful
candidate-while the anti-resubmission
candidate was the hindmost one in the
race. In word, the question of result
mission had nothing to do with the case.
Unless some one feels inpelled, by an
irresistible impulse, to whack Wichita,
and Resubmission over Wichita's
shoulder, it is hoped that this, about the
dozenth statement of the facts, will
suffice to put an effectual period to this
bit OF misrepresentation that has been
on the go ever since the election.

Acres do not govern the country, but
brains, quoth DIR. Chauncey Depew in a
recent interview. Mr.. Depew is correct,
bend that the two go together in most

occupation and control of acres necessa-
rily implies the presence Of brains. AS
a sharp bit of sarcasm the observation
may be taken as quite clever, but that
line of argumentG0 isn't just the sort to
capture the section of the country char
acterized by the profound railroad presi-
dent as ''acres."

Buddhism in Boston.

From the New York Herald
The truth is a Boston man wants
something good deal profounder than
Christianity for his mighty intellect to
wrestle with. Buddha can enmesh him
in the web of intellectual ecstacy, can
tell him weird, ghostly stories of a
thousand reincarnations in the past and
promise him a thousand more in the
time to come. Therefore Buddha is
warmly welcomed He is so full of
mystery that if you attempt to under
stand him you totter on the delightful
brink of insanity, and get so mixed up
that you can't tell whether you are the
wisest man that ever lived or driveling
idiot. For these reasons he is full of
facination-better than the dreams of
opium or the Mysteries of hashish, a
perfect leg tangler, SO to speak.

The Grip, What Is 1t?

From the Oklahoma Hawk.
The above question was asked in the
EAGLE one day this week, and then an
answer attempted which we deem an
utter failure. We have had the grip,
and we know a good deal about it. In
the first place it is a conglomerated mass
of affiiction, and means good to neither
man nor beast and has no hesitency in
demanding its pound of flesh and taking
it; it toys with man for several days
and makes him feel sick at heart and
act as though he had been disappointed
in love. And when it leaves, his joints
are sore and he rather suspicious that
several different brands of rheumatism
have been experimenting with him or
that he has been shot in the back of the
neck with stuffed stocking. He feels
worse than a Republican when he
thinks of the sgd congress. and
mean enough to organize an amateur
band, yes the grip makes man feel bad.
We would rather hold the next number
to man who drew $4,000 in a lottery,
attend home talent concert or spend
week in Perkins than to have another
attack The grip is peculiar in that
some things are too Insignificant for it to
notice. Now there is Man-Afraidof-
White-Pants and his partner Dan Posey
Foot that are enjoying splendid health.

The Tyranny of Fashion.
From the New York Recorder


Such is the tyranny of fashion, as a
matter of cold fact, in the last decade OF
the nineteenth century, that the sensi-
BILE women of New York city who feel a
disinclination to sweep the streets with
their walking dresses are autually afraid
to have their length reduced for fear of
being pointed out as not only ''being out
of the fashion" but as coming from ''the
country" There seems to be sort of
genial conspiracy among the purveyors
of feminine attire to enforce this edict
absolutely.
