Northern district Of DR.. f. B. Fite,
A. w. Foreman and B. F. Fortner;

Richard Fite.
These three boards will organize

becomes a board of appeals; also a
board Of health. This new law
has repealed the old and requires
both citizens and non-citizens to
undergo examination before engag-
ing in the practice Of medicine.
The penalty for violation is very
severe, and there will be no chiId's
play about this. Violators will be
punished and men who expec. to
engage in the practice OF medicine
had better brush up their wits and
lrunt up their diplomas. We know
of some most miserable things call
ing themselves doctors. who have
the certificate of the old board and
by virtue oil it, are Staying their
hosts. Unfortunately there is no
way Of stopping this slaughter of |
innocents. The failure of the for. !
iner board has turned these loose |
upon society and there can be no
end Of their depredations, unless

Pryor CREEK. Dec. 20. 1s9

Pryor CREEK, Dec. 30, 1890.
INDIAN CHIEFTAIS:-Please al.
low me space in your valuable
paper to cay a few words in regard
to our lodge. To start off, l will
say j. w. Parker, our county lee
turer, was with us and delivered a
good lecture TO an open lodge on
the 9th, the evening of our last
meeting. Everybody was invited
but owing to ono or two disap-
pointments lately the audience was
small. If all of our members,
sixty-seven in all, had been pres
ent as they should have been (for
it was our last meeting in the
quarter) we would have had a
good audience. Our members are
getting very careless of late and
there have not been more than one
third of them present for some
time. This can easily be construed
into a violation of the obligation
assumed and portrays failure for
Pryor Creek Union if the evil is
not promptly remedied.
Up TO the present time
only sixteen members have paid
their dues. This is a bad state of
affairs as my report has to be sent
in at once. l trust there will be
as little delay as possible but l
will wait on them a few days
longer.

STORES AND poLTTTorANs.

menace the Union-the Alliance
store and the politician. There
are consequently two elements
whenever such orders as this
union exists that say to them
selves, ITO what extent can /,
with my friends, use this society
for personal gain ?" These two
elements are...the money catcher
and the politician. These two
elements destroyed the old grang.
ers. The grange store did as much
to destroy the order as the politi-
clan. The store by the order, rec.
ommending exclusive trade which
ended nearly always in ruinous
profits, under protection of the
order or guise OF fellowship, the
members being victims OF mis-
placed confidence. The same dan.
gers from politicians were the
other cause of the wreck. They
form collisions and combines with
trusts, combines with themselves,
combines with their opponents.
form trusts with anyone, to spocu.
late or advance themselves, either
financially or physically. This is
the other element that helped to
destroy the grange, that in its
eaily days bid so fair to help
break up these dangerous trusts
and combines that keep the la
borer and the farmer SO very poor.
Every new store should be encour-
aged aud the good will of the
Union should go with it and every
encouragement possible given. to
stimulate it and to encourage
other stores to start, bringing about
as much competition as possibl
to help reduce high prices and
ruinous profits. But to recommend
Alliance stores exclusive trade is
destroying the very principles upon
which this order is founded, for
protection is the very element that
is running this country and which
this order has to remove first and
to recommend exclusive stores is
as dangerous as the trusts and
combines Of the manufactures.
The same restraint needs to be !
held over the politicians. Here !
is where the protection is needed |
10 keep them from uniting within
our order. A few of any clique
admitted results in no great dan
ger, but to admit a ring or clique
is a danger that menaces every
order and calls for the enforcement

The Republican National Convention of
lSS2 viii meet at Minneapolis. After a
spirited but good-natured contest. the
national committee decided in favor of
the Minnesota city, and on the seventh
ballot selected it as the place in which the
next president will be named.
The selection of Minneapolis is marked
recognition of the growing power and
political importance of the Northwest.
Never has the national convention of a
great political party been held so far west.
Never before has the political greatness
and the political influence of that portion
OF the nation which has practically come
into existence since the close of the war
been so distinctly acknowledged. 1t is
fitting that this acknowledgment should
come from the Republican party, the lusty
offspring of the West
Aside from this recognition of the i'm
portance of the West, the selection of
Minneapolis has no apparent significance.
Minnesota is. and has long been, a strong
Blaine state. and if Mr. Blaine is candi-
date before the convention the local in
huences will be overwhelmingly in his
favor. This might. however, be said with
equal truth if the convention were to be
held in any city Of the United States, with
the possible, though by no means certain,
exception of indianapolis.
