CHOCTAW LEASE MONEY.

The Choctaw payment of lease mo-
ney, for Wade county of thai Nation
was still in progress at Talihlna yes
terday. There are still large num-
Der of people at that place to be paid.
1t is thought that payments at that
point will be finished tomorrow night
as the next point to visit will be
White Sulphur Springs in Cedar Co.,
sixty miles from Talih1na. All pay
ments are being made in checks and
numbers of spectators are on hand
endeavoring to discount the checks,
but are meeting with poor success as
the Choctaws have learned something
from past experience and are getting
their own checks cashed on the bank
on which they are drawn. AT White
Sulphur Springs, the next pay ground
there are large number of fakirs,
tin horn gamblers and other sharpers
on hand to fleece poor Lo. but they
will most likely meet with poor sue
cess, as most indians have been advis-
ed of the the nature Of their schemes
and will steer clear of them. Every.
thing is quiet at Talihina, although
there are no United States soldiers on
the ground.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life mere, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs
and being well informed, You will not
accept any substitute if offered.

An ordinance to provide for the pro-
lection of the Water Works in the
city of Texarkana, Arkansas, and to
better secure the Texarkana Water
Company in the enjoyment of their
rights and privileges under their

Be it enacted by the Council of the
City Of Texarkana, Ark:
Sec. I. It shall be unlawful for
any person to injure in any manner
any reservoir, tank, fountain, hydrant,
stand-pipe, corporation cock, stop

Come to the Rescue.

AS surely as any known effect fol-
lows cause, just so surely will dis
ease of the kidneys succeed their in
activity, if that inaction be not
promptly remedied. Come to the
rescue with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which gives healthful impulse
to the action of both the kidneys and
the bladder, without exciting them,
like an unmedicated stimulant. Rem
dered active by this genial diuretic
and tonic, they perform their func-
tions thoroughly and regularly, re-
moving from the system impurities
which beget rheumatism, dropsy,
gravel, Bright's disease, diabetes and
catarrh of the bladder. The contrac-
tion of either one Of these formidable
maladies is the penalty exacted by ma
turo for indifference to that plain
warning--sluggish action of the kid
neys. When this exists, not mo-
ment should be lost in the use of the
remedy indicated. Bear in mind that
the bitters will relieve with equal
prompitude disorders Of the stomach,
liver, bowels and nervous system, and
cure or prevent malarial complaints.

ANOTHER SHERIFF ROBBED.

Only few days since news of the
assault and robbery of an Arkansas
Sheriff was flashed over the wires
from the scene of the outrage, ON the
Little Rock & Memphis railway, and
now, before the echo of the first affair
has scarce died away, another equally
sensational affair of like kind and
character is reported The victim OF
this latter robbery is Sheriff NJ. NJ
Smith, of Cleveland county,
The details of the robbery, which
occurred in Little Rock, where Mr..
Smith was in attendance upon the
Sheriffs' convention, are best related
in his own language, as follows:
81 came from home yesterday, COM
ing to attend the Sheriffs' convention
and also to wind up my settlement
with the Treasurer. | had 81, ,288 OF
the states money IN a folding pocket
book and $205 of my own money in a
pocket in my trousers. | intended to
deposit the money in the bank upon
my arrival, but l found out all the
banks were closed. | went to bed
about midnight. | put my money
and pistol under pillow on the bed.
"About o'clock this morning | was
awakened by the fire bells. | thought
| would go to the fire, so / dressed
myself, putting the money and pistol
into my pockets. | went down stairs
and out of the hotel starting east on
Second street. When / reached
Louisiana street ! noticed two men
standing at the alley, half block away
When reached them attempted to
pass between them. One of them, a
thlh DullC liiaI, WIN lgnt m0ustache,
well-dressed, wearing a white felt hat,
grabbed me round my body. The
other man, who was short and chunky
and not as well dressed as his partner,
and who had black moustache,
sprang in front of me with q drawn
revolver. My pistol was taken from
me first, and then my folding pocket
book, containing $1,2SS belonging to
the State, went next. The robbers
then turned me loose and ran down
the alley, going south. They make no
effort to get the $2O5 in my pants
pocket

Peculiar Hallucination.

News of a very singular occurrence
has been reported from Waco, Texas.
1t appears that well known planter
living some miles from that city, was
aroused on Tuesday night of this week
by cries for help proceeding from
mesquite prairie near his house, and
accompanied by his son he fastened
to lend assistance.
They found young man who had
climbed a tree and was violently ex-
cited He entreated them to drive
away the bloodhounds so that he
could come down and rest, for he was
very tired, he explained, from a chase
of twenty miles, in which he had bare
ly escaped from the teeth of the dogs
and the rope of the pursuing lynchers.
Mr.. Mason and his son--the parties
who had found the young man up the
tree-went through the motions of
driving off dogs, and after beating the
ground energetically, calling "get out,
"begone" and all the familiar ejacula-
tions attending the driving away of a
pack of hounds, they assured the man
up the tree that he could descend with
safety, whereupon he came down.
He was was well dressed, wore a
gold watch, had plenty of money and
talked nationally, stating that he was
wrOngfully under suspicion and de-
sired protection pending trial. MIR.
Mason hitched up his buggy and car
ried the young man to Waco.
The officers were as much puzzled
at first as the kind farmers had been,
but friends Of the young man came
forward and explained, and after TAX
ing a prescription of physician he
went to bed and passed quiet night.
He was much better the next day and
did not remember the lynchers and
hounds.

High Living,

If you keep at it, is apt to tell upon
the liver The things to prevent this
are DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Take
one of the little Pellets for a correc-
tive or gentle laxative-three for ca
thartic. They're the smallest, easiest
to take, pleasantest and most natural
in the way they act. They do perma-
nent good. Constipation, indigestion,
Bilious Attacks, Sick or Bilious Head
ache and all arrangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels are prevented, re-
lieved and cured.
They're guaranteed to give satisfac-
tion in every case, or your money Is
returned.

NATIVE ELoQUENCE.
Hon. A. W. Terrell, United States
Minister to Turkey, Addresses
Turkish Students.

Reports have just reached this ooun-
try of an address delivered by that
most eloquent of Texans, Hon. A. w.
Terrell, at Constantinople, the oc-
casion being the commencement ex-
ercises at Robert College, in that city.
This college, founded by an American
citizen and endowed through his mu-
nifcence, is one of the most success
full institutions of learning in the Sui
tan's Dominions. 1t has long been an
established custom for the resident
Minister of the United States to de-
liver the commencement address to
the students of this college, and Mr..
Terrell only followed the example of
his predecessors in office. In the
course of an eloquent and mastery
Grafton the distinguished gentleman
spoke as follows:
1t has been to me source of mex
pressible pleasure to witness the ex-
ercises of this day. AS l assembled
this bold promontory and saw waiv-
ing from the walls of this college the
starry flag Of my country, l felt some
thing like the thrill of joy Zenophon
described as animating his ten thous-
and Greek when, after their wonder
full march through Asia, they first be-
held the ocean from another emlnence
near this spot. AS assembled to this
college from the banks of the Bospho-
rus and saw the proud ensign of my
native land dancing in the breeze, my
heart swelled with exultation and
pride, for l remembered that an
American philanthropist had estab-
lished and endowed this institution.
AS the portrait of Washington occu-
pies an honored place in our federal
capital, so it is proper that the por-
trait of Mr.. Robert, whose munificent
endowment established this college,
should be suspended there, as it is
above you, graduating class.
Gentlemen of the Graduating Glass:
You are about to go forth from your
Alma Mater, each to his chosen sphere
to become,-I trust--a factor of prog
ress in this busy world. Though you
have graduated, you have only gath
cred a few sheaves in the great field
of human knowledge which lies unex-
plored before you. Here, your cheif
triumph has consisted in learning how
to think. The conquests of science
and Of art, in exploring and utilizing
the forces of nature, have been SO ex-
texsive in this wonderful age that no
one man can explore it all in the COM
pass of life. Each of you will choose
his own department of knowl-
edge, and your success will depend on
persistent labor Let, therefore, a
noble ambition inspire you to help
him with acts Of kindness, Of forgive
ness, of charity and of love; and then,
when weary of the journey of life you
have crossed the stormy sea, until you
approach the narrow isthmus that
separates it from the mysterious ocean
of eternity that flows beyond, the
memory of your kind deeds and low
ing charities will sweeten the death
pang and gild with hope the opening
visions of the future.
The minister's speech was received
with loud and prolonged applause.

Gus names the successful man. He
has made no personal canvass and
says he viii make none, relying on the
theory that all of the officers of the
last House viii be given another term
on the Democratic second term idea.
The best judges say he is badly mis-
taken. The race is regarded as being
between Smith of Texas and Hurt of
Mississippi.
