OUR TAHLEQUAH LETTER.
Council Proceedings and Other
News in the Capital.
TursnAY MnnNINa. Nnr 5 lsnl

luhhbAh MohhINGi NOV = 1877.
Tahlequah is full to overho wing.
The generous residents of the city
have thrown open their doors in
order that the members and many
visitors may be accommodated, as
the hotel capacity is not sufficient
for the occasion. Owing to the
wreck on the NJ, X. & T., num-
ber of the members from Coowee-
scoowee and Delaware did not get
in until Monday evening; Presi.
dent Burlington, OF the senate, was
among the number. Up to date
nothing has been done; the two
houses met Monday morning with
a quorum in the lower house but
not in the senate; Hon. Daniel
Redbird was elected president,
pro tem,of the senate in the absence
Of Mr.. Burlington.
A report has been current that
a bill would be introduced to move
the capital to Ft. Gibson, as the
old government building would
probably be turned over to the ma
ton. Some Of the members claim
that FIVE districts, Cooweescoowee,
Delaware, Illinois, Canadian and
Sequoyah would favor it. Mem
bers from those districts are hav-
ing considerable fun over the re-
port, joking the citizens of Table
quah who are fearful that there is
a good deal of truth in it; it il
rather dry iun for Tahlequah mer-
chants. Senator Keys suggests
that the capital must either be
moved to the railroad or the rail-
road to the capital

To reduce this expenditure now
and hereafter, it is suggeted that
the expenses of council, pay Of
members and other officers and
the pay of jurors be cut down; that
all persons charged with crime,
who do not give bond, be com
mitted to the national Jail to await
trial. Phe repeal of the revenue
collector law Is recommended am
that it be placed again In the
hands of the clerks without addi-
tional expense.
1t is also recommended that the
supreme judges be relieved of the
criminal jurisdiction now exercised
by them, and that this jurisdiction
be given to the circuit courts, and
the jurisdiction of the district court
be enlarged, so as to equalize the
labors OF the circuit and district
courts, and that appeals under
necessary restrictions be granted
from the circuit and district courts
to the supreme court. In all civil
suits wherein the amount involved
exceeds twenty FIVE dollars, either
party may appeal TO a higher
court, but when the life or liberty
OF the citizen is jeopardized he has
no such right under the existing
lazy

VERY little can be done in the
way of curbing monopoly until
survey of the land and an official
count of the people is had-not a
hap hazard census, but a count
which the government will accept
That is the only one which will
dispose of the intruders. Exper-
ience has shown that we have
ample authority and power to ad-
NIT as many persons as we see fit
to Cherokee citizenship. And the
same expensive teacher has shown
that we have not power to remove
or keep out anybody This is one
of the poorest Of "poor rules that
won't work both ways"

LEGISLATION TALK.
A number OF important bills are
to be introduced; prominent among
them are about six On the monop-
oily Of the public domain. Several
members have bills Of their own,
so when one is killed another will
be put in to follow its predecessor
TO the burying ground. The
Adair measure seems to have con-
siderable support, but the forty
acre amendment is Objectionable
to many. Some favor running it
off into sections at our own expense
and letting all have so or 160 acres,
while others favor allotment
straight out. The solons are all
puzzled to know exactly what is
best. The party prejudice that
existed last council seems to be
almost eliminated and the general
desire among them is to "do some
thing for their country"
THE EDUCATIONAL END.
j. w. Duncan's proposed school
bill is meeting pretty general ap-
probation. The following are
a few of its provisions, in brief:
Wherever there is a school house
built and as many as three citizen
families for directors, a school
may be established; the directors
elect their teacher ana dlscnafge
if not satisfactory; the nation pays
each Of its children Cor rather the
teacheD Sl25 per month; the
legally resident whites go by pay
ing the same; the commissioner OF
education to issue 1st, 2nd and
Bird grade certificates to those who
are competent to teach, and a pro-
vision for allowing the principal
teacher of schools like Vinita and
Tahlequah higher salary. The
bill relates only to the primary
schools. There is some talk of
reestablishing the board Of educa-

Interest on this subject is not
tagging at all, since it is one OF dol
lars and cents in the people S
pockets. A great many are very
sorrowful now that we didn't all, (,
or as many of us as wanted it,
get an so acres as well as 'the 7O'
chosen ones. Others wonder if we
can't get it changed and yet secure
a piece of the coveted land. One
man says, why, if | just had so
acres along side of one of those
towns that will spring up like
Oklahoma City or Guthrie, | would
get from two to three thousand
dollars for it Alone All are de-
termined that the Watts outfit
shall not have a dollar OF it, and
if the United States senate com
mittee insists upon us paying the
intruders for their improvements,
they had just as well retrace their
steps for Washington. Applicants
for citizenship are here by no

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

The bill for its charter or right
of way from Tahlequah to Fit. Glib
son is actually being drawn. Two
weeks ago the idea of such a road
was almost hooted at, and is yet
by some, but Mrs. Morgner and
others are pushing the wheels that
may start the electric cars to roll
ing over to Gibson before another
council meets. Quite number
think that an electric road termi-
mating here would be better for
Tahlequah than a steam one pass
ing on through, since the latter of.
tentimes kill town instead of
making it, by building up others
on either side. 1t is proposed
that the fare from Gibson will be
reduced about fifty cents, and that
the company may in conjunction
with the generating engine have
an electric light attachment for
Tahlequah and the seminaries. If
electric light for these institutions
can be furnished as cheaply as oil,
and it ought to be, it would be
quite an improvement. and an
agreeable one for the boys and

HAVE YOU THE GRIPPE?

i Many People Have 1t and DO Not Know
1t. Bow to Recognize tho Symptoms
and How to Treat Them.
Hundreds of people have the Grippe who
do not. know il. Not necessarily the final
stages but the first stages. They feel pains
in the head, ard bad taste in the mouth,
get tired and despondent, have chilly sensa-
t!ons, limbs and muscles ache. In some cases
these things are overlooked. In most cases
perhaps they are considered simply a slight
cold. In nearly every case they indicate the
coming of Grippe.
There is but one thing to do when these
symptoms appear, and that is to take prompt
and vigorous measures, to fortify nature to
repel the enemy a little well directed effort
at just the right time will accomplish very
much Inore than labored efforts afterwards
There is but one thing to be done, and that
is to use pure stimulant, something that,
something endorsed by scientists, recon-
mended by physicians, and popular because
so oefficient-Dutfy's Pure Malt W hisiley. Two
years ago, and last year when the Grippe
was raging. this was the standard remedy
used, and recommended by the profession.
1t did more to prevent the Grippe than all
other known or recommended remedies. IL
preserved many people in health who would
otherwise have been grievously sick, per-
ever. IL should be borne in mind that OTHER
so called whiskies may not be SO Efficient,
and ii any dealer asserts that such whiskies
are the same, distrust him at once. There is
but one medicinal whiskey, and that is
Duff's Pure Malt. ia2I-wED

That's What the League VIII Do IL Denny
Signs With New York.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-[Special president
Young was interviewed tonight concerning
Pittsburg's further efforts to secure the SER
vices of third baseman Denny Lyons for the
coming season. Mr.. Young was shown the
statement from Pittsburg published this
morning. He said he received q commune
cation from Manager Powers, of the New
York club, saying Lyons wanted to know
what he Should do about signing. Mr..
Young in reply said Lyons was regularly as
signed to play in New York, and it is his
duty to sign with that club, unless the
latter consents to his transfer to Pittsburg.
AS Lyons is said to have received $50 AL
vance money from Pittsburg, MIR. Young
directs that the money shall be refunded at
once.
In reply to a question Mr.. Young says
there IS nothing in the rules Of the new
League TO preventive New York and Pitts
burg clubs from reaching an amicable agres-
ment with regard to Lyons. The assia
rIent OF players was made with q view 30
eGuallzing, as far as possible, the playing
strength of the various clubs, and is was i'm
possible to satisfy everybody. If the New
York club feels that it can get along without
the services of Lyons, and wants to waive
claim to him IN favor of Pitssburg, there
would be no objection to such an arrange
ment. 1t seems, however, that Lyons pre-
fcrs to play in New York, and Manager
Powers is disposed TO retain him, and there
is but one thing tor Lyons TO dc, and that is
for him to play in New York, where he was
assigned by the authorized committee.
Manager Powers, in a letter to Mr.. Young
from Cincinnati, intinates that Lyons wants
to play in New York, but desires advice
from the President of the League as to how
sustain him if he put his name to New.
York contract.

Thus she was at the mercy of a terrible sea

The greater terror, however, was about
the garbage scows Ehich had been towed out
into the oceaH. On these scows it is stated
there were at least 60 Italians These help
