The Citizenship association is
making a great show Of a burning
desire for final decision in their
cases before a court Of competent
jurisdiction. This may be true so
far as some are concerned, but
many that belong to that associ-
alton would not 90 near a court Of
that kind if they thought a fair
prosecution Of the case would be
had. Justice is the one thing they
are steering clear Of because if
they should get a fair trial they
would surely be found to be in
truders.

TEXAS CATTLE.

j. +. Baker has had considerable
trouble in getting his Texas cattle
into the Miami pasture which he
has occupied for several years.
Last week he received several
train loads Of steers at Chetopa
and proceeded to drive them
through the state to the pasture,
but was met by about 100 armed
citizens of Cherokee county who
were determined to prevent the
cattle passing through any part of
the state. After delay OF several
days a compromise was effected
and the citizens withdrew their
opposition, the cattle being per-
miited to 90 to the pasture, but
there is a very bitterfeeling on the
part OF the citizens living along
the line Of the territory against the
introduction of Texas cattle at any
time and more especially during
the spring and summer months
and this question should be settled
by the sanitary commissioners,
having in view the interests of the
stock raisers Of Cherokee county
as well as the cattle men of the
territory. The Indians and farm
ers Of the territory would no doubt
be glad to see the importation
of Texas cattle done away with al
together as they lose more or less
every year by Texas fever and
their stock is never secure from
disease whole the present law ex-
lists. If they will lease their sur
plus lands for purely agricultural
purposes they will be the gamers
in every way, and can then feel
safe in improving their breeds of

THE settlement of the intruder
question and their removal from
the country will be effected when
ever the Cherokee people decide
to allot their land; not before.
These two events must and will
come together, because they are
inseparable. Until this country is
allotted it will be full Of intruders.
After it is allotted there will be
no intruders; there will be no in
ducement for them; their occupa-
tion will be gone.

Now that congress is taking no.

will eventually be done to settle
this, the greatest Of all questions

the FIVE tribes would not be 2 bad

A FATHERS LESSON.

Money for Drink But None for Necessa-
ries.
1t makes the heart sick to think of
the misery and degradation to which
the demon drink subjects those who
have given themselves up to him. The
Philadelphia Methodist vouches for the
truth of this incident:
Papa, can you please give me fifty
cents for my spring hat? Most all the
academy girls have theirs"
mo, May, can't spare the money"
The above request was persuasively
made by sixteen-year-old maiden as
she was preparing for school one fine
spring morning. The refusal came
from the parent in a curt, indifferent
tone. The disappointed girl went to
school The father started for his
place of business. On his way thither
he met friend, and, being hailfellow-
well-met. invited him into a saloon for
drink. As usual, there were others
there, and the man that could not
spare his daughter fifty cents for a
hat, treated the crowd. When about
to leave, he laid half-dollar on the
counter. which just paid for the drinks.
just then the saloonkeepers daugh-
ter entered, and on gong behind tho
bar said
Papa, l want fifty cents for my
spring hat"
GAN right" says the dealer, and
taking up the half-dollar from the
counter, handed it over to the girl.
who departed, smiling.
Mays father seemed dazed, walked
out alone and said to himself: II had
to bring my fifty cents here for the
rumseller's daughter to buy hat
with, after refusing it to my own
daughter. I'll never drink another
drop" And he kept his pledge. -

NOTES BY THE WAY.

BELGIUM is the paradise of saloon
keepers Although the enactment of
a license law two years ago compelled
about twenty-five thousand keepers to
close their saloons, yet about one hun
bred and sixty thousand remain, or one
for every forty souls in the population.
The committee of the British Med
ical association on legislation for the
inebriate has reported in favor of en-
downing proper authorities with power
to compel inc briates to be placed in re-
treats where they will be treated by
physicians employing the most APP
proved methods.
BEFORE the British began to rule in

change! One distillery in Mandalay.

five hundred gallons of liquor every
day, and there are now one hundred
and thirty-uine licensed liquor shops.
MRS. SHAEN, a lady guardian, speak

house to take employment as a nurse.
She made known the request to the
master who after considering the
matter, reported that out of four hum
bred women inmates in the Kensing-
ton worllhouse, lie could only remem-
Der one, and that a woman of eighty,
who was to be trusted not to drink the
brandy provided for the patient
THERE is one thing vastly more inn
portant than the cure of every drunk
ard in the country, and that is the ces-
sntion of drunkard- making by legisla-
ting against the liquor traffic, and by
each persons own abstinence. If we
could have emphatic testimony against
the drinking habit it is the welcome
that is given by thousands to the news
that drug has been discovered that
will deliver them from the curse of
rum. One need not go any farther
than this fact for a pretty cogent tenn
perance lecture.
THE cause of prohibition is making

many parishes or communities enjoy
absolute prohibition. Total absti.

woman's suffering and woman's
weakness. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription puts a stop to it. It's
a remedy for all the delicate de-
rangemente and disorders that make
ner suffer, and a cure for all the dis
eases and disturbances that make
her weak. It's legitimate medi-
cine, that corrects and cures;
tonic that invigorates and builds
up; nervine that soothes and
strengthens. For bearing down
pains, displacements, all the func-
tional irregularities peculiar to the
sex, it's a safe and certain remedy.
Other medicines claim to cure +?
That's true. But they don't claim
to do this: if the Favorite Pre-
scription fails to give satisfaction,
in any case for which it's recon-
mended, the money paid for it is
refunded.
Judge for yourself which is likely
to be the better medicine.
And think whether something else
offered by the dealer is likely to be
"just as good"

years ago that crowd of us boys
were gathered together one night in
one of the fellows rooms in college.
1t was a cold, dreary night ia January,
and the snow was already n foot or
more deep, and it had set in to raining
and sleeting.
We were all gathered around the
roaring fire, telling tales and trying
hard not to think of home. Tucker
had just finished his last story, and was
staring into the fire in his thoughtful
way; Starke was playing "Home,
Sweet Home" on his harp, and Tobin

when saw the small light of a lantern

headed for our room. l knew by its
swing, and the merry whistle that ac-
companied it, that jolly Hal Harris was
coming.

other log on the already roaring fire, I
filled my big meerschaum and got a
chair ready for him. We all knew that
he would have some news, and he was
such good company.

covered with ice, his big boots mud to
the top. and his jolly red face all aglow
with the exercise of pulling through
the drifts.
"Well, boys" he said, Topping him
self into chair and lighting his pipe
with a piece of firewood, ''have you
heard the news?"
We all answered in the negative, and
he went on.
"Well. this afternoon six convicts es-
capped from the mines (that were just
twelve miles distant and got scot free.
One of them was forger, and there is
