From Sand Greek.

Meeting called to order by the president
DR.. Puff offered the following resolution:
Whereas, We have been badly defeated by the
Alliance, anu the dictates of common sense
demand that we change our policy; therefore
be 1t resolved, that we form a Reciprocity Club
for the extension of trade-and the modifica-
ton of the tariff. Its adoption was moved, and
Joe Smith said he would second the move with
all his heart for he felt that something must
be done Immediately; he did not think it wise
to tell all that reciprocity would lead to: in
fact, our leaders at the Lodge said not to de-
fine it. Reciprocity was all right with Canada
and South America-but IL would never work
with Europe.
why notY' said Sam Jones. Because"
said Smith, .they give us now a market free
for our produce" Jones SAID, BRO. Smith,
must England retaliate to get fair trade? Must
she sin that grace may abound? Paul said:
God Forbid what say you Mr.. Jones? You
can speak when get through. But | must
tell you one thing now. the bible has never
been used as text book for the republican
party" Sam Berger WAS the next speaker and
said II am opposed to the resolution 1t is
too narrow; prohibition has hurt our party
and we must fight it or go down. We were all
right while we had the church and saloons I'll
on our side. The party cannot keep the Ger.
man vote unless they keep beer. The beer
gardens of the East form the backbone of the
republican party. Bro. Henry burst will not
stay with us unless he can get beer, and BE A
FREE MAN. think we must form resubmis-
sion club"
Sam Jones said he was ordained by Senator
Kelly to form republican club, and arrange
to run the party with new machinery; that we
were hopelessly defeated with the old policy.
That the West must fight for the West that
we had been asleep to our own interests-tin
we had been badly LEFT. Now, Mr.. Chair
man, l think the Senator has the truth. Don't
know just what he means, but he says not one
word about reciprocity. 1 now move that
this question be tabled till next meeting-at
which time letter be read from Kelly and
Senator Ingalls,, then we will know for certain
what to do" Motion carried. Meeting adj

EXPLICIT WARNING.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 26.-In
view of the published statement that a
large number of persons have entered
or contemplate entering the Cherokee
outlet" contrary to law, the secretary
of the interior has issued the following
public notice:
Department of the Interior, February
20, 1S9l.-Notice: Let it be under
stood by all persons contemplating en-
trance either upon that part of the
Indian Territory ordinarily termed the
Cherokee outlet or those portions re-
Gently acquired by the United States
through agreement with various Indian
tribes, that while it is the purpose of the
government by just negotiation and
earnest effort to have these lands
opened to set Element at as early day
as possible, yet in the meantime or un-
til all necessary conditions to which
the Indians are entitled precedent to
entry are complied with, and due no
tice is made thereof, no person will be
permitted to locate or enter thereon, OF
any part thereof, and those who at
tempt TO do so will not only be peremp
torily removed, but will forfeit rights
they might otherwise acquire by obedi
ence of the law.
The government will observe its obi
cations and maintain it's authority by
force, if necessary, but relies confident
ly upon the intelligence and good sense
of those wishing to make settlements
TO induce them to wait the necessary
legislation and proclamation.
1t is deemed proper also to warn all
persons against the schemes of certain
men or corporations pretending to have
claims for entry at their disposal, which
are in fact illegal and intended to be
fraudulently used. They will involve
those relying thereon in serious
trouble.
JOHN w. NOBLE, Secretary.
The president has appointedJamesE.
Emery, of LIE Mars, Iowa, a special
agent to make allotment of lands in

we are reminded by one of our ex-
changes that the father of medicine rec
commended as healthful practice, that
a person on arising in the morning,
should run in circle for half an hour
clothed in the garb of Adam. In city
houses it would have to be pretty small
circle, and in some of our flats, there
would only be room enough to jump up
and down, but the advice is good-to
give the skin every day an air bath
while keeping up enough muscular ex-
eFcise and hand-rqhbings to ayoid catch-
ing cold. The skin is not so much of a
breathing apparatus as the lungs, but
breath of fresh air once day is good
tonic for it.

1t Is limited, somewhat openly. that one

and her daughter, his first cousin, despite
the fact that the Prince of Wales's eldest
son is undoubtedly in love with his
second cousin, Princess May of Teck, and
has apparently his fathers permission to
continue so. However, the queen can
not get over the fact that Princess May
is the daughter of that Mary of Cam
bridge of whom she was SO jealous in
the days when the late Prince Albert first
came a counting; and so, as young Albert
Victor has no spirit of his own, il is not
unlikely that the announcement of his
engagement with the Princess Margaret
will come to as before the empress has
concluded her visit here. Margaret of
Prussia seems to be a delightful and
highly educated young woman, but there
is no doubt that she has win of her
