The result of the election in Del
aware district leaves Keel and the
Alton News in a sorry plight. In
stead of plodding along in the even
tenor of his way and printing the
news of his town he pitches head
long into politics, tries to pose be-
fore the intelligent people Of Alton
as an cold timer" and az Down.
ing man since '6S," talks about
"aliens," showed plainly that he
was a hireling Of Hoolie Bell, and
was willing to sell his "inflooence"
to boost into power the greatest
enemy and the most notorious
demagogue the Cherokee nation
ever had. Poor Keel You have
made a most ignomineous and in
glorious failure. In trying to pose
as a lion before the Cherokees
your protruding ears have given
you away, and now we all know
that you are only miserable ass.

NEIaHBoRHooD NOTES.

Coffeyville Journal: Looting
drunken Indians is getting to be a
common occurrence. The depot
dive is the resort of crooks and
bummers. 1t ought to be wiped
out of existence. Il y Mrs. Henry
Starr, accompanied by her sister
in.law, Mrs. Morrison, spent Tues
day forenoon in Coffeyville. She
is young and pretty, and has for
some reason or other, donned a
mourning garb. She is at home at
her fathers residence, near No
wata, 1. T.
Eufaula Journal: Several weeks
ago the Journal mentioned case
where a Seminole was let out on
his honor to come up to stand his
trial for murder whenever the au-
thorities wanted him. His case
was called few days ago and he
was promptly on hand. He was
tried, convicted and sentenced to
be shot next Tuesday, which exc
cusion is bound to come off as the
Seminole chief has no power vested
in him to pardon a condemned
murderer. The prisoner was sat
isfied that he would be convicted
all along, but said that if such was
the case he could stand it as it was
the law.
A correspondent in the Eufaula
Journal gives this recipe for snake
bite: Take one raw onion about
the size of a pullet egg, lump OF
salt about the same size and piece
of plug tobacco, mash the three to-
gether in a morter and make q
poultice. Apply the pouluce to
the wound and let it remain there
until the pain ceases, if it is two
days. In case the poultice gets dry
make a fresh one at once and place
it on the wound. This has cured
snake bites in cases where medical
skill has failed.
Hon. Wm. Connor, an Usage

Oklahoma and has begun the prao,
tice of law. He served in the 9th
Kansas cavalry during the wal

LAST Friday Secretary Smith
said of the Strip opening: at has
been my hope to get it opened by
the first of September, but after
looking at the information which
has accumulated during my alb
sence, am forced to the conclu-
sion that it will be impossible to
come up to my original plan. We
will have trouble to decide who
should be admitted to the roll Of
seventy settlers on the strip, pro-
vided for in the treaty, and this
will delay US if there is no trouble
elsewhere. have also discovered
some townsite schemes which we
will try TO obstruct when the re-
port OF Colonel Duncan reaches us.
1t will lake me some time TO get
my bearings."

THE final disposition of the Strip
bonds is now the leading topic
throughout the nation. As the
days 90 by it becomes more and
more apparent that something
must be done to bring about a
speedy payment Of the Strip mon
ey. The merchants are leading
off in a movement to bring about
the payment in some shape and
they are heartily seconded by the
masses who are beginning to feel
anxious least they be deprived Of
what they feel is justly theirs, and
which has repeatedly been prom.
ised them.

A TYPICAL BAD MAN.

Luke Short, a noted sport
throughout the southwest, is said
to be dying at Fort Worth. Some
years ago Short ran a rival dance
house and saloon at Dodge City to
one conducted by Bat Masierson.
There was not a little enmity be.
tween the men and finally Master
son was elected city marshal. This
was a signal TO Short to move, and
he was not long in making his way
10 Topeka to entreat the governor
to interfere and suppress riot. In
some way or other a truce was
patched up, but their neighbors
were always certain there would be
one or two select funerals in town
some fine day, as Short and Mas
terson enjoyed the reputation Of
having furnished the local grave
yard more subjects than disease
and all the balance Of the commu-
nifty combined. Masterson acted
as timekeeper in t.Ie great Corbett-
Sullivan prize fight at New Orleans
a year or SO ago, and was referee
in a fight at Denver last week in
which "The Sailor Kid" received
fatal punishment, He was the
first marshal Of Creede, Colorado.
These two men are about the last
Of a class or generation whose race
is run and one the world can well
spare.
