Thornton. All thronged around the Eng.
lishman to congratulate him. Then, in
obedience to n sign from Stransky, Olga
placed in her lovers hand q pistol, dag

Finally the committee led Thornton
apart TO acquaint him secretly with the
name Of his victim. He nearly tainted
when he read on the card handed to him
by Stransky the name of General OzoteroI,
the father of his hancee. He turned away
from Stransky and the committee with
smile and escorted Olga home in the
gayest of moods. After night of rehec

marry at once and leave for England. When
he told her his desire she looked on him

Ten times within the week he called on

She was already there. AS he entered the

From every member of the circle came

LOVB AND NIHILISM.
Adventures Of an Englishman
in st. Petersburg.
BOUND BY MOST FEARFUL OATHs.

George Thornton, to Please His Beauti-
full Sweetheart, Joins the Nihilists and
Is Selected to Remove an Enemy,
Treaohery, Discovery, Death.
George Thornton was a rich young Eng
lIshman of noble birth. A year ago he
went to live at the Russian capital, where
he fell in love with Olga Ozoterof. She
was the only child of famous Rus
sian general Her mother was dead. One
evening she bade him accompany her Sc
cretly to an unknown part Of the city. For
half an hour they drove through various
streets. When the carriage stopped she
led him into a large, vaulted hall among a
hundred men and women. Strange ban
ners and symbols were displayed along the
walls When he turned to her he saw the
light of triumph and exultation in her eye,
and thus he learned the truth, She was a
nihilist.
These were all nihilists. This was their
council hall Would he be initiated and
enrolledY At oncel And he pressed for
ward to take the oaths with headlong zeal
Serious thoughts came on the morrow.
He would get out of 1t all. They would
soon, must soon, be married. Then he
would take her home to England, and all
this would be dream Of the past
A short time after this, to Thornton's
horror, it was announced that an enemy
was to be removed" and the executioner
was to be selected by lot Forthwith all
members of the circle, two by two, re.
newed their oaths and added another to
obey unhesitatingly the commands of the
committee on action, whatever they might
be.
In this way George Thornton and Olga
Ozoteroff took their oaths together. And
the president of the circle grasped their
hands with unwonted fervor He had
been a suitor Of hers, this Loris Stransky,
and there were those who said he hated
the man who succeeded where he had
failed Stransky, as president, drew the

rHn oAuAhs on DELAY.

II is now practically settled that
the Strip agreement will not be
ratified by the present congress.
The cause Of the refusal Of congress
to act upon the matter is not to be
found in the fact that it is a bad
trade for the Cherokees, but prob
ably the most potent reason is the
disposition of congress to retrench
in the matter of Indian appropria.
tions, together with the non-polit-
ical character of the measure. The
United States has, according to the
provisions OF the agreement, until
March 4, 1893, to accept or reject
the work of the commissioners.
Nothing could be further from the
truth than the claim set up by
some of the newspapers of the
country that lobbyists and cattle
men, who are interested in this
years. grass, are the cause Of the
delay. There are also other things
that may cause a postponement of
action in the matter. There has
been legislation proposed and bills
already introduced in congress that
would render the ratification of
this deal useless. A confirmation
by the higher courts of the decision
of Judges Green and Seay, or the
passage Of the Harvey bill, would
end the whole matter aud render
further legislation unnecessary so
far as the opening of the outlet is
concerned.

was put down to make a speech in

remarked after looking carefully
over the audience that everyone
in the house could understand En-

to talk in Cherokee. The house,
large brick building, was filled
to overaowing, and nine-tenths
were Indians by blood and from
all portions of the Cherokee ma

A Noted Woman Among the Cher

okeee who Died in 1920.
We so often hear it said, "I'm
the Granny Ward stock" or, 81
belong to the Granny Ward fam
ily." Below is a short biography
of Granny Ward.
Granny Ward died about 1920.
She was said to be by those best
informed, 1l5 year old, and must
have been born in 1705. She was
a full blood Cherokee and could
not speak a word of English. In
a battle between the Cherokee and
whites, Granny Ward. who was a
woman of great influence and
strength of character, took a white
woman prisoner and kept her from
being killed She, the prisoner.
afterwards became the great grand.
mother of Mark Bean and others
of our citizens. She kept this
woman about two years and from
her learned and taught the art to
the Cherokees. OF using and max
ing butter, and many other useful
things which Granny Ward trans
mitted to her descendants who were
by far the largest connection in
the Cherokee nation. Granny
Ward had only three children by
her first husband, and by the man
whose name she bore (Jack Ward)
she had no children. The names
of her three children were Five.

from Katie Harlan, Granny Ward :
daughter. that mos. of the descen.
dants came. Katie first married
Candy, by whom she had one son;
then she married John Walker.
the ancestor of our Walker, Tay-
lors and a host of others. She
then married Ellis Harlan and by
him had eight children. Nancy,
the oldest, married Caleb Starr,
grandfather of Watt aud Caleb
Starr. George Harlan was the
grandfather of Jim and Oce Har-
Ian; Zeke Harlan, grandfather of
Alb. Harlan. Sallie married Jacob
West, grandfather Of Jim Marcum.
Then came Ruth who married
Phillips, and Betsy who married
Peter Hilbebrand. Ellis and Aky
died before marrying. All were
married to white men. Fivekiller
had no children, was a drinking
man IN which a good many of his
relatives were very much like him.
Nanny, Granny Wards other
daughter. married Gen. Martin,
father Of Major Jim Martin and
Nancy Hildebrand. Rachel, her
other daughter was a Hughes
Gen. Martin was a white man of
good education-quite prominent
man among the people of his day.
Granny Ward lived on the OcOwe
river in Tennessee and was well
of; she traded her white prisoner,
mentioned above, for a negro
woman. She always attended the
councils of her people and it is
said after she became too old to
attend in person, she always sent
her walking cane to represent her.
Granny Ward always. kept a nice
place in her own yard especially
for the Cherokee 'green corn
dance" and was said to be the
best house keeper in the whole
country. Everything was kept as
clean as soap and water could
make il.

In regard to the opening of the
Cherokee Strip to settlement, Sem
ator Perkins has this to say: at
is very doubtful if the Cherokee
Strip is opened 10 settlement this
session. The spirit of so-called
economy which controls the lower
house of congress leads to the be-
lief that no appropriation can be
obtained to carry out the provi-
sions of the treaty" Considering
that the senator himself is strongly
in favor of opening that country,
as he says in the same commune
cation, and will do all that he can
to that end, the prospect looks
doubly unfavorable.

THE man who opposes the open
ing of the Cherokee Strip, no mat.
ter in what part of Oklahoma he
lives, is a selfish soul who thinks
the world was built for a chosen
few. 1t was built for everybody,
and everybody wants a chance at
the Strip, and that quick Okla
