Sixty Million Bushels of Wheat
A Bushel for Every Inhabitaut
of the United States. The
Kansas Crop of '02.

Never in the history of Kansas
has that state had such bountiful
crops as this year. The farmers
cannot get enough hands to har-
vest the great crop, and the Santa
Fe railroad has made special rates
from Kansas City and other Mis-
souri, river towns, to induce har-
vest hands to go into the state.
The wheat crop of the tate will be
from sixty to sixty 70 million
bushels, and the qual is high.
The grass crop is made, and is a
very large one; the early potatoes,
rye, barley and oat crops are made
and are all large. The weather
has been propitious for corn, and
it is the cleanest, best looking corn
to be found in the country to-day.
Cheap rates will be made from
Chicago, st. Louis, and all points
on the Santa Fe east of the Mis-
souri, river, to al Kansas points,
on August 80 and September 27,
and these excursions will give a
chance for eastern farmers to see
what the great sunflower state
can do. A good map of Kansas
will be mailed free upon applica-
tion TO Jno. j. Byrne, 723 Monad-
mock Block, Chicago, ILL.,, together
with reliable statistics and info--
nation about Kansas lands.

MUST TURN no FARM1Na.

The importance and safety of
farming as business enterprise is
becoming more and more apparent
every year, in this country es-
pecially. If the vast sums of
money that have been invested in
the cattle interests here in the west
had been used to develop farms
and in carrying on farming opera
tions, there is scarcely doubt but
what all parties would be better
off financially than they are.
In Delaware and Coo-wee-s 5000
wee districts the fact is just now
becoming known that this is one
of the finest wheat producing Sec
tions in the United States-a
single crop often paying the en-
tire expense of breaking out and
fencing II farm on the prairie.
And then farming leads to a
developme of an interest in bet
ter and finer took of all kinds.
The very best of horses and mules
are required TO carry on farming
properly. The very best cattle
are the most profitable for the
farm. Improved grades of hogs,
sheep and poultry, are to be found
on the farm. The man who is en-
gagged in farming has no need oi
the bronoho or the long horn wild
Texas steer, but in preference he
will have the powerful Norman
and English draft horse, the meek
eyed Jersey or the stately Dur.
ham.
More farms mean more business
for our merchants, in fact more
business of all kinds. 1t means
bigger towns and better towns. II
means an aooeleration IN every en-.
terprise that is conducive to the
advancement and civilization of q
people.

LAST summer the Downing party
charged the National and Col.
Phillips with having on file in
Washington a contract whereby
Phillips was TO receive IL per
cent. OF the proceeds of the Outlet
when it was sold. This charge
was reiterated on the stump
throughout the whole campaign.
Col. Phillips was denounced as a
rascal of the worst kind, yet the
Downing party made haste to en-
ploy him as soon as their delega-
tion got to Washington. There is
something in all this that the peo-
pie do not understand and will in
sist upon having explained. 1t is
well known that Col. Phillips was
the attorney for the men who held
cattle on the Strip last year, and
it is. generally believed that he is
their attorney yet, thus being en-
ployed on both sides of the same
case.

NOTES FROM ADAIR.

Miss Lima Langley and brother
"Fat" spent several days last
week visiting friends at Fairland.
Mrs. d. S. Cumming is contem.
plating spending few weeks
among friends at Seneca, Mo-, in
the near future.
S. l.. Tucker returned to Vinita
today under the impression that
this climate was entirely too warm
for him especially about 9:45 p. m.
We are pleased to state that
after a severe spell of sickness
lasting five weeks Miss Lou
Langley is again able to be up and
about.
6. III. Warren is Just completing
a 24x40 granary which is built so
that it can be used as a store house
at any time he may desire to make
the change.
DR.. Youngblood returned home
Sunday evening, and in spite Of
has misfortune he seems to be in
excellent spirits and his many
friends are glad to know that he is
improving.
We were pleased to meet our
old friends J. II. Kendall in town
today. "Jack" has been spend
ing the past two years in Alabama
and Mississippi, but returns look
ing as natural as ever.
The II. II. Crow stock which was
sold under mortgage a few weeks
ago has been moved to Clarelnore
and as a result we will miss the
smiling faces Of j G. Chitlim and
w. G. Julian who have been em.
ployed to look after the goods and
leave here today, taking their
families with them.

mens, for all their permanent inn
provements.
''lf this is the case" said Mr..
e. G. Boudinot. the Cherokee del
egate, tonight, "you can state
upon my authority that the Cher
okees will regard the treaty abro-
gated, for not a Cherokee in the
nation will consent to such a con-
dition. 1t was not so set down in
the bond. The agreement made
with us by the representatives of
the government covers no such
provision, and will never be rati-
fed by the council, now nor here
after"
The agreement describes as tres
passers all such settlers who en-
tered the Cherokee lands since
1886. They number from 1000 to
5000. Many of them have inn
proved farms and have made
strong representations of their
rights. They are not recognized,
however, by Cherokees, who claim
that their pretensions to Cherokee
citizenship are based upon ficti-
tious titles. Boudinot and his as.
sociates in Washington declare
that these persons are not entitled
to compensation and could not es-
tablish such claims in a court Of
equity. They have had possession
of the land since 1886, and have
enjoyed the benefit of it without
consideration. The Cherokees ask
that the government shall live up
to its contract. 1t can not now
inject into the terms Of the agree
ment condition not contemplated
at the time they were made.
A lame attempt by such dema-
gogues as Jerry Simpson and others
is made to saddle the responsible.
ity for the delay in ratifying the
agreement upon the president and
Secretary Noble. 1t is charged
that the latter is hand in glove
with the cattlemen, who are re-
ported to be grazing stock ON the
Cherokee Strip. The president
sent his message in which he rec
commended the ratification of the
agreement, to congress in Febru-
airy. The bill has been in the
house practically every since, and
no attempt was made until two
days ago to call it up, when Jerry
Simpson asked the committee on
rules to set day for its discussion.
1t is believed that Simpson had no
expectations of having his motion
considered favorably, and Mr..
Holman promptly objected, which
ended the matter. As for the Sec
retary OF the interior allowing the
cattlemen to invade the Strip, the
suggestion is laughed at by the
Cherokee delegates. With them
it is not a question of cattlemen
grazing stock in the Strip, but
whether congress will ratify its
il is honor-bound to do, without
equivocations or evasions.

A PLAIN DUTY.

Col. w. P. Boudinot, in last
weeks Advocate, suggests the dis
cussion of national issues through
the columns Of that paper and backs
up his suggestion with a well writ
ten article on the land question
There is probably no one in the
Cherokee nation better qualified
to speak knowingly upon this
question than Col. Boudinot.
When such men as the above
named writer tells us that "some-
thing must be done" the Chero-
kee people may well heed the ad-
monition. 1t is no idle talk to
say that "all the finest land of
our nation is in the hands of COM
paratively few men," A thous-
and proofs of this are plainly Wis
ible upon every hand. Those who
have been able have extended
their improvements as long as any
public domain was available and
now farms are being bought almost
daily by those who have the
means to purchase from any who
will sell. 1t is no figure Of
speech TO say that the situation is
indeed alarming and the outlook
for the rising generation is grow.
ing more gloomy every day.
Col. Boudinot says: "If, then,
something must be done to make
the settlement of the common do.
main more equal and equitable for
the citizens OF this nation, that
something must be done now in
order to keep the evil from be-
coming worse or fatal" This sen.
timent, coming as it does from one
so well informed and so influential
among his people, comes like a
benediction to the poorer classes
Of the people of the Cherokee ma
tion. Yes; by all means let the
discussion open at once, not only
in the columns of the Advocate,
but let the entire press Of the coun-
Try discuss the question from every
standpoint. If any one has any
thing TO say in defense of the
present system Of holding lands in
common let's hear it. The CHIEF.
TAIN has advocated allotment of
lands, not as a pet measure Of its
own and for personal reasons as
has been charged, but for the one
grand reason that IL must come,
soonet or later. No sentiment or
tradition can stand in the way, for
when the matter is fully discussed
and understood there will be few
to dissent. Allotment will make
the poor as rich in lands as the
wealthy, whereas at present they
are destitute. If We love our gov
ernment, our people, our homes,
our best interests, we should seek

CnEisEA, lNp. fEn., July Is, 1892.
EDIroR CnIEFTAIN:-My letter
published in your paper of the 9TH
inst caused the wire cutters to
take ia this section OF country on
the 9th whilst the citizens were
attending the barbecue at Chelsea.
There were three squads in charge
Of Messrs. Ward, Holt and Mccoy,
who claimed to have authority
from Sheriff Sanders to cut un-
lawful pastures and hay Enclosures,
and not cut drift fences. Under
the provisions Of the law they are
very lenient indeed, as all inclos-
ures by wire and post alone are
unlawful, and the law requires
the sheriff to remove them. Now,
the question is, If one part Of the
law be executed how can the sher-
III eyade the full execution Of Il?
The law was made to prevent mo.
nopoly for speculative purposes,
as provided by our Constitution
Section 10, article 9, says, I" No
power Of suspending the laws of
this nation shall be exercised nm

days amusement.
Good order prevailed and a
camp-meeting could hardly have
been more peaceable. The sher-
iff appeared in town early in the
morning and warned the beer
men not to sell but they could
not heed him and one is now in
Jail and the other fugitive.
Great credit is due nearly every
resident of the community for the
success of the picnic and to partic-
ularize would be TO give the GEN.

however, entitled to special men.

to place them upon sure basis
When death comes we should
know that our little ones are pro-
tected in their birth.right by a
title to their pro rata share in their
common heritage. Allotment will
bring about a happy epoch in the
history of the Cherokee people,

it must, it will be benediction to

In case the Strip agreement is
ratified in its present form and on
the conditions set forth therein the
would be subject to the action of
council. Just what council will
do with 1T no one knows, but that
there is a good deal of dissatisfac-
zion in the matter there is no doubt.
Eight and one-half millions is
too much money to be handled so
carelessly, and the people of the
nation should ask that the money
be paid to them per capita, direct
from the United States. This is
the sentiment of nearly every one
interested. Council itself should
not assume any such responsibility
when it is so needless.

The above cut conveys q good idea of
one of the great GAR Watches made
expressly for our subscribers. So many have
called for them that we have at last decided
to sell these elegant Watches at so low a
price that all veterans may enjoy the pos
session of handsome durable, and accurate
Waltham and Elgin Watches. The GAR.
Watch is either a Waltham or an Elgin, as
the purchaser may choose. The works are
made from the finest selected material Each
contains eleven valuable jewels, tempered
steel springs, compensating expansion bal.
ance, patent safety pinion, winding
and pendant-setting apparatus, full plate, a
dust-band that excludes every particle of
dust, quick train, jeweled balance, selected
porcelain dial, and all the latest and greatest
improvements. The case is made of nickel
silver, composition just as handsome and
durable as coin silver. The case is dust
proof, and need never be opened because
the Watch winds by turning the crown
Tor stem j and sets by pulling it out till it
clicks, then pressing it back into place after
setting, a wonderful feature that makes this
Watch unique. On the back Of this case
the " G. AR" badge, the emblem Of glorious
service, patient suffering and triumphant
victory, is engraved by hand. AS the for
tunate purchaser sees this beautiful reward
of patriotism thought will come to his
mind of the boys in blue who never saw
ga. r." badge, but who gave up their lives
in battle. This watch is well worth double
what we ask for it, but we have placed the
price SO low that all may get it. We will
send it for a club of 10 subscribers and SIS
added money. -
