READY TO SELL.
cherokees are willing to Dispose Of the
Outlet.


TAHLEoUAH, l. T. Saysrsaf e.
1t is no longer question of doubt that
negotiations will be renewed by the
United States government for Cherokee
surplus lands this coming session of the
Cherokee council. Senator Butler,
chairman of the senate committee on
the five civilized tribes, has written 2
letter to his kinsman, eX-Chief ID. w.
Bushyhead, and informs him that the
senate committee will visit the Chero-
kee capital some time in November,
during the session of the council, for the
purpose OF investigating various mat
ters that are likely to figure in the next
congress.
This committee will make no attempt
at negotiations, but simply ascertain
the sentiment OF the Cherokees on land
selling. From the tone of the senators S
letter one would conclude that the Cher
okee commission will follow the senate
committee. and open negotiations for a
sale of the Cherokee outlet.
1t is rumored that Chief Maves has
also information of the coming commits
sion, but no official announcement has
been made from the executive Office as
yet Characteristic of the man, Chief
Mayes says very little in private con-
versation OF his views on the questions
of national Importance. His most inti-
mate friends and those associated daily
with him say he favors sale of the out
let to the United States at fair price,
and that he will so recommend in his
annual message to the council on the
first Tuesday in November.
A great change has come over the
Cherokees since Green's decision was
rendered against them. They are most
ly respondent. and a majority of them
are anxious to sell and pocket the pro-

The Cherokee Sfrin.

TAHLEQUAH, October 6.-From an
official communication just received at
this place from Senator Butler, it is
learned that senate committee will
visit Tahlequah in November for the
purpose OF ascertaining the sentiment
of the Cherokees in regard to the sale
of the strip. A short time ago the COM
mittee wrote Mr.. Mayes q letter asking
to be informed of the feeling of the
Cherokees in reference to sale. The
letter was answered by the chief, who
said that several matters, including the
troublesome intruder question, would
have to be adjusted before the Chero-
KEGS would begin entering on negotia-
tiOns with the government for the re-
linquishment of their right to the Cher
okee strip.
To this answer Senator Butler, who
is chairman of the senatorial commit
tee, has just replied that the conditions
would be complied with as near rs pos
sible by the governmentSand that the
Cherokee commission would visit the
Cherokee nation on the lst Of NOvem-
Der for the purpose, after which they
will again resume negotiations for the
strip. There is but little doubt as to a
settlement among the Cherokees in IA
for of sale OF the strip, and If the in
truder question is settled. the sale will
be made without further trouble, and
probably at price not higher than has
been offered, Sl20 per acre. Judge
Green's decision that the Cherokees
have no title or right to the strip has
been strongly condemned by the CherO-
okees, and has created considerable in
terest throughout this country, yet it
has seemingly not weakened the intelli-
gent Cherokees as to their rights to
that land, and it is thought will cut no
figure in the coming negotiations.

oHIcAGo's HISTORIC CANNON.
A Gun that Was Used to Threaten Colum-
bus Son $50 Years Ago.

bus Son $50 Years Ago.
WASHINGTON, October 6.-On the
way to Chicago at the present moment
is an old cannon with a history. When
F. A. Ober, the special commissioner
to the West Indies, was at Santo Do
mingo. his attention was called to a
large cannon lying half way buried on
the banks of the DIANA river. 1t lay
beneath the bluff on which stands the
great castle, the Homemade, tie Oldest
castle now standing in America.
The city council called the commits
sioner's attention to it and declared that
its history was second only in interest
to that of the city itself. When Don
Diego Colon, the son of Columbus, was
sent out with his titled wife Marie Do
ledo, to govern the island of Santo Do
mingo, he began the erection Of a grand
palace THE ruins of which may still be
seen on the right bank of the Ozama)
which gradually assumed the appear
ance and proportions of fortress, rath-
er than gubernatOrial residence. The
city authorities fearing that Don Diego
would seek to intrench himself in his
castle and defy the King of Spain,
mounted some cannon in fortification
hastily erected. and warned Don Diego
that he was subject to their commands.
The fortress finally fell to ruins and
the cannon, one by one. tumbled over
the bank, and now, after lying $50 years
beneath the walls of ancient Santo Do
mingo, this piece of rusty ordnance
turns up in Chicago, perhaps to send
up salute to the memory of the great
Columbus. whose son it was once used
to threaten.

because he thought he wss doing

because he thought he wes doing
right.
Is il not possible that he may again
wish to change his mind? Is it notpos-
sible that the changing conditions OF
politics will make one party the most
desirable one year and another party the
most desirable another year? The man
who reserves for himself his freedom OF
action can choose what be thinks best;
but the man who ties himself up by an
oath has lost his freedom-he Is a slave
to his own folly. Ofsuch are those who
become members of that most foolish o
all foolish political societies called the
citizens alliance.
An example of its character is told by
the Marion Record as follows:
Quite number of citizens of this city
who voUed at the recent republican pri-
maries were last week served with the
following notice:
LOCAL ASSEMBLY No. AZ.
CrTlZENS' ALLIANCE
MARION. KAN, S-17-9l.
Dear Sir: You are request ed by the proper
committee to appear before them on Friday,
August 81, at 2:30 D. m. at X. OF l. hall TO
answer to a charge OF violation OF your solemn
obligation TO this order. II you 90 not appests ear
the comnitte will be compelled to proceed on
that basis Hoping you will attend,
LEON sH RIDDLE, HSoI Secretary.
Some of the accused" ex-union sol
diers presented themselves at the place
designated. and at the time last Friday
afternoon) proceeded to inform the
committee that they, the accused"
had fought for liberty, under the old
flag, and they didn't propose to surren-
der their rights to anybody now.
Can il be possible that in Kansas,
where the great conflict began for uni
versal iberty-where the old guard
fought fight for freedom of opinion in
politics-where the dictation of DOM
ineering southern politicians was first
resented-there ican be found secret
oath-bound organization, whose MEM
bers are required to swear away their
liberty.
Can it by that an American citizen of
school blessed Kansas can be found who
is so weak in intellect that he dare not
do as he pleases without being called
before the petty inquisi ton Of some
secret conclave to defend himself
against charge OF having violated
his obligations TO the order?"
Down with such politics. We want
none OF it in Kansas.
Good government can come only from
men who are freei
Bull-dozing organizations like that
have no place in Kansas. Their cOun-
terpart may be found in Georgia and

The Jarvis Boys Escape.

WARSAW, H., October GA report
er has just returned from a trip
through Harmony township, where the
battle between the Jarvis boys and a
band of men took place Saturday and
Sunday. Several of the pursuers were
met, and say that fully 400 or 500 men
were out after the desperadoes. The
Jarvis boys had not as yet been cap
tured, and are believed to be hiding in
some familiar haunt in the Crooked
creek country. The boys are dead
shots, the youngest lad OF Is years,
being able to cut a peach from the
stem at almost any distance. Among
the large quantity of booty captured
were a number of dime novels of the
dare devil order. The excitement over
the chase is still great. The Jarvis
boys came from Virginia a few years
ago, ana have always been accounted
hard cases.

An old-Time Colored Leader

Thornton Davis, whose death occurred last
week, was well-known politician in the days
OF the Feather-Duster regime. Among the
colored race since then he has led a quiet life,
and was best known to the lawyers for his
politeness and efficiency as a janitor of law
buildings, and at the last of the Webster Law
Building, where he died. He was one Of the
Oldest members of the Capital City Guard,
the crack colored corps of the District Militia,
and he was sergeant of the corps when he
retired. During the early days of the late
war he was the body servant OF Lieut.. War
rem Fitzhugh, of the so-called s'Black-h
Cavalry" but after the first Bull Run he con-
cluded to cast his lot with the Federals, and so
he made his way into their lines. But 1t is
certain, that, according to his statements and
descriptions Of the fight, he charged with
Welby Carter's troopers in the rear of the
line, when they broke the ranks of the Brook
lyn Zouaves. He served five years in the
Navy on the Tallapoosa. He leaves widow
and three children. He was q member of
