MEMORIAL DAY AT STERLING.

A patriotic little band met in Mr..
Fruits grove near the cemetery, to
show their sympathy for the soldiers
who fought so bravely and well for the
cause of the Union, and listened to
an excellent program of exercises ap-
propriate to the occasion.
The singing by the choir, under the
charge of Mrs. Luther Wells, was fine
and elected praiseworthy comment.
The class of little girls, under the
direction of Mrs. VIM. Ellis, rendered
their songs in a manner that impress
ed all with the fact that they had re-
ceived careful training at the hands of
their competent leader.
The remainder of the exercises were
perfect in every particular and showed
that deep interest was manifested
in making everything success.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures Of the entertainment was the
address delivered by Mr.. VIM. Webb
His addresses are always listened to
with interest and appreciation and
this one was fully up to the standard.
In fact, it was said by some to have
been the best ever delivered in the
town.
After the program, an hour was
pleasantly spent in eating dinner.
At one O'Clock a procession was
formed, headed by the old soldiers,
and the usual form of decorating the
graves was gone through with, after
which the people were free to wander
whithersoever their fancy led them.
Many employed the time in visiting
the different graves and viewing the
beautiful flowers and wreathS with
which they were decked.
When the time for leaving arrived,
all returned home we'll satisfied with
the days pleasures, and felt that it
was day well spent. II.

her seat over the dashboard by hold
ing to the lines to prevent runaway.
Her father was in the rear OF the bug
gy leading some colts, but could not
get to her quick enough to be of any
assistance, for it was the frOlicing OF
the colts that caused the ponies to
run. Fortunately no one was hurt.
Hon. j. T. McCleary our next con-
gresham from this district delivered
an address at the Opera-hOuse in this
place last Saturday night. The audi
ence was quite large and number of
ladies were present. The subject he
talked upon was finances. How and
when our system of exchange was
brought about. 1t is dry subject at
the best but, his audience seemed
greatly interested. Mr.. McCleary is
posted on civil government if anyone
is. He has made it a life study, aud
this seems to be one thing very much
needed in the halls of our congress.

can Club was organized with j. E.

THE OUAPAW LANDS.


WASHINGTON, July 25-Delegate Harvey
of the committee on Indian affairs has
made report on the Quapaw Indian al
lotment bill, the same as that introduced
in the senate by Senator Morgan The
proposed action, IL will be remem hered,
aroused Il great deal of opposition among
the representatives of various tribes in the
agency, who claimed that the demand for
the allotment of the 81. G5S acres of land
belonging to the Quapaws comes from
white men who have had themselves
naturalZed by the tribe in order TO get
their share of the allotment, and that TIE
Indians have not sufficiently advanced in
the ways of civilization to sustain them
selves as citizens of the United States.
The report upon the bill, which is largely
based upon the testimony of Abner w.
Abrams, a white man, who belongs to the
Quapaw tribes aud represents them in
Washington, says:
"The provisions of the bill herewith re-
ported cover all the lands in the respective
tribes located in the Quapaw agency that
have not been allotted in severalty. The
Indians of all these tribes are self-support-
ing and have made such progress in educa-
tion as to be qualified for useful and
creditable citizenship of the United States.
Owning their lands in fee simple, for
which they have paid r great price in the
surrender of lands in their original reser-
yations to the United States, and all of
them having homes on their respective
locations, the committee consider that it
was due to them that in framing this law
they should cansuit the wishes of the In
dians as to the manner of disposing of the
tribal domain. The bill reported by the
committee in all essential particulars con-
forms to the wishes of the people of several
tribes as to the disposal of their property.
Their consent to passing from under the
tribal authority into the civil government
of the territory of Oklahoma is deliberate
and cheerful. after a thorough and wise
consideration of the Importance of the
change in their political relations and of
the duties imposed upon them
by the new situation. 1t may
be that the taxation they are
able to bear, rs contributors to the support
of the territorial government, Will not be
entirely just to other communities in that
territory. If such condition should be
found hereafter to exist, IL will only be
just that proper assistance should be
given to the territory by the United States
until the lands allotted to the Indians be-
come alienable and taxable. The policy of
exempting lands allotted to Indians from
taxation and forced sale, as we'll AS volun-
tary alienation is a necessary part of the
plan for inducting them safely and
gradually into the full advantage and Ie-
sponsibility of citizenship of the United
States.
''As matter OF economy it is greatly to
the benefit of the government that these
Indians should be self-supporting and
prosperous. In these respects they are in
marked and pleasing contrast to many
thousands of Indians who are equally able
to work and to provide for themselves,
who still rely solely upon the government
for food and raiment."

THE KANSAS CORN CROP

KANSAS CITY. July 25.-It is admitted
by everybody that the prospect for good
corn crop in Kansas is not Very bright.
Probably the next ten days will settle the
Qestion whether or not Kansas will have A
crop of corn. The situation in Kansas at
the present time seems to be lust this:
There have been terrifically hot days all
over the state for week, but the reports
of hot winds have been so few that there
is grave doubts whether Kansas has ex-
perienced any genuine destroying hot
winds this summer. The entire state has
had rain within two weeks. Half of the
state-the southern half-has received
good rains within eight days, bat the tenn
perature has BEEN so hot that the moisture
has dried out quickly, and now the whole
state Is in need of rain. According TO pres
ent information, iG seems probable that
the state can raise corn crop If there are
no hot winds this week, and if rain falls
within week

OPENING IKE CANAL,

The most acceptable proposition that
can be made to persons troubled with
chronic constipation, is to open that i'm
portant canal-the bowels. That PROPOSE
ton can be carried out by the parties in
terested if they resort to HosteJter'
Stomach Bitters, the most effective, most
genial Alternative eXtant. 1t is the mistake
of many otherwise sensible people, that
they resort to drastic, or. III other words,
violent purgatives. Without exaggera-
tion, this is highly injurious, since such
medicaments weaken the bowels, besides
convulsing both them and the stomach
with pain. Relief sought from the Bitters
comes freely enough, but they never pro-
duce pain, excessive action, or subsequent
weakness of the bowels. Liver and kidney
trouble, malaria, dyspepsia, lack of STAN
ina and tendency to rheumatism, are
remedied by this pleasant substitute for
drenching cathartics.
