THE GOVERNMENTS POLICY.

The policy of the government
now seems to 9.te impress the
l-.Eherokces with the belief that
they have no right to the strip--a
difficult task. Ex:fhief- -Bushy-
head and-J. w. Jordon have been
operating a stone quarry south of
Arkansas City. Recently the sec
retary ordered their removal as in
truders and surmising that he
might be laboring under a misap-
prehension as to their nationality
they informed him upon that
point. In reply a dispatch was
sent them last Friday reading
thus: There has been no over
sight, and it is not my intention
to change the order. l have the
opinion Of the law officer of this
department that you have no right
where you are TO quarry stone.
Whether Cherokees or not, the
order will be enforced" This ac-
tion, following the order for the
removal of the cattle, makes it
evident that all steps possible are
to be taken to render the strip
valueless to the Cherokees and to
impress them with the govern
ment's right and power in the
,rcmises. Simultaneous, nearly,
2sith this last act, comes word that
a committee of senators will be out
in a very short time TO try their
tlill at concluding an agreement
for the cession Of the strip and
there are a great many reasons to
anticipate that they will be sue

.AoruAL LossEs sTAFRp.

The citizens on Big creek and in
the vicinity OF Rome, to the num-
ber of "a, in petitioning the chief
70 call an extra session Of council
to repeal the COW law, assign the
following reasons therefor:
We have all suffered more or
less from the introducing Of south
ern cattle upon our range during
the spring aud summer months.
We feel that we will be robbed
Of our range by class Of men who
are smuggling cattle in our country,
claiming them for outside parties,
who care nothing how great our
losses are.
We feel that we as a people
should be protected and without
an immediate repeal Of the late
cattle law we are hopelessly
ruined.
We herewith give a few names
of citizens who suffered losses from
Texas fever caused from the in.
deduction OF southern cattle upon
or renge in one neighborhood,

SrSN1oR HENDERSON, of Della
ware, desires it understood that he
was not the party mentioned. who
"voted for the COW law without
knowing its provisions" He
favored the law and voted for it,
he says, but was not in favor Of
extending the.sime to April 18th.
Continuing, the senator said ne
would like TO see the strip sold,
the money divided and the country
run by direct taxation; he stood
ready TO vote for n proposition Of
that kind at any time and believed
that if the people furnished the
money out Of their pockets they
would take more interest in seeing
that it was not squandered.

A FEW WORDS FROM WAC
ONER.

ON NV
Ma. EDIToR:-It is through the
medium Of pen, ink and paper
that we have the pleasure of i'm
parting to you our ideas and views,
and it is by ink, paper and ma
chinery that you likewise have
the privilege Of transferring and
imparting our ideas to your many
readers of THE INDIAN CHIEFTAIS.
1t seems that in this early day
Of the history Of America, that
laboring man, such as a farmer,
stockraiser, ETC., would not have
to resort to a combination of them
selves and thereby force the mer-
chant to sell his wares at a rea-
sonable aud living price. At this
present day q laboring man does
not have to take a telescope to see
how far of the grim monster Of
starvation is from his door (God
forbid, but it is true) but he can
see it with the naked eye.
We have a union with fifty.two
members enrolled. Although we
were not represented at the con-
vention, it was not because we did
not want TO be, but, II am almost
ashamed to state the reason) it
was because none Of our members
were readers of your valuable pa
per. We had our delegates ap-
pointed and were waiting patiently
for information as TO when it would
meet but 10, it never came, and
therefore we knew nothing about
it until one OF our members has Of
late subscribed for your paper and
saw that the convention was over.
We hope to keep posted hereaf-
ter and always ready to send dele
gates to any convention that is foi
the interest and welfare of the lab
oring class. am.

Among the microscopic varieties may be

fourth that rots the fruits, fifth that
spells beer, a sixth that gives bad taste
to pickles and a seventh that causes catsul

Still other families attack the hoofs and

A CARD.
WICHITA, Kan

WICHITA, Kan, May 2S, '9l.
take pleasure in stating that the fam
ily vault jast completed for me in Maple
Grove cemetery by the firm of Webster,
Gruber Marble company, of Muscatine,
10, is in every way satisfactory, and that
w. w. Webster, the president and founder
of the company, with whom | contracted,
has we'll and faithfully carried out his
part of the contract and done all he agreed
TO. and | wish to recommend him as an
honorable, competent gentleman, and
can but speak in praise of the firm as be-
ing worthy the patronage of those wish
ing fine vaults or monumental work.
(Signed) I. w. FULLER.
The vault referred to in the foregoing
card is, indeed. beautiful piece of work
manship and looks to be as enduring as
the Rock of Ages.
We must add our own words of praise:
It is not only a credit TO Mr.. Fuller, who
has so literally contributed for the build
ing of this lovely work, but it also is a
credit to Maple Grove cemetery, and espec-
tally so to the grand firm Messrs. Webster,
Gruber Marble company.
We consider it a credit to Wichita to
have firm so able and competent to come
TO our city looking for business, and GER
tainly orr very best citizens can patronize
them, and with a feeling of confidence that
their work, whether monumental or vault
design.
This firm makes a speciality of the better
class of work, such as many of our eastern
people have seen before coming to this
that was so recently the ''far west, )" and to
patronize them is only encouraging the
best class of business men of their line.
able and thoroughly skilled and in every
way competent to come to our lovely city.
Mr.. Webster, the president of the COM
pany has been in the city some ten days,
experimenting personally the erection and
completion in every detail the fine vault,
and Mr.. Fuller feels every assurance that
he has the best in material, workmanship
and design.
This firm is looking for location for at
least a branch of their concern and speak
favorably of Wichita. Can'twe encourage
this enterprise? 1t will be a creditable ac-
cession to Main street or Douglas avenue.
Let our business men look after it, and
that soon. A location will be decided on
within the next six months.
