The Cherokee Payment,

Inc Cherokee payment of the money
leaiized from the sale of the Strip.
was had In Sequoyah District, at the
court House, eight miles from Mul.
uroW, the past week. We spent
Moneay there. Ii was surprise to
see city Of 1000 or 500 inhabitants
grown up In II day as it had, so quiet
ana orderly, containing SO large and
diversified interests. This was owing
IN a great extent to the grand and
complete system of sworn Indian
guards and deputy sheriffs. The
Court House where the payment is
made Is surrounded by rope at least
d hundred feet from the building.
wnefe no one unless personally
interested In receiving money, are
permitted to enter. Treasurer Starr
and his chief deputy, l. B. Bell, have
thelr arrangements so perfected and
complete that the work goes on in the
simplest and most satisfactorily
manner. Within the time of about
three hours $45 900 was paid out. in
sums ranging from $2i5 to So, 900 the
larger part in paper money, and silver
com and checks when desired.
The city is laid off In streets and
no trade or occupation will hardly be
found missing. The hotels, restau-
rants In large numbers, dry goods,
groceries, druggists, doctors, jewelry
stores, photo galleries, butcher and
blacksmith shops, gambling dens
running wide open and in fact every
money catching device was there,
not omitting the laundry and boot
black. The "Merry-go-roundn had
the richest harvest there and IL is
said S4O0 or $500 day was taken In.
The Payton Comedy Co., in a large
tent, Is ON the ground and it Is doing
a remunerative business
The Cherokee people, as a people,
are certainly honest as many of ths
collectors present, who had accounts
for collection, found them very
prompt, showing no disposition to
shlrk out of paying all claims against
them.
No one that can conveniently attend
this payment should fail to do so, out
OF curiosity if nothing else and see a
city that has sprung up in day
The place of payment is five mics
from Hanson or eight miles from
Muldrow. Hanson is the nearest to
the grounds and said to be the best
road to travel.
We wish to thank Treasurer Starr
and Col. L. B. (Hoo.ey) Bell for very
kind treatment and courtesies shown
us and the same to the accomplished
clerks of the Treasurer. These
officers are not, perhaps, as handsome
as some we might pick out but they
are thorough gentlemen and most
competent officers and are doing their
work well. The payments in this
District closes today. Next week the
payment in Saline commences which
Is the last of the payments.

A Sad Death.

We copy from the Fort Smith Times
the following notice of the sad death
of Mrs. Will Schultz. Mrs. S. is the
sister of Mr.. 7. S. Euper of our city;
Mrs. Will Schultz, born Miss Eda
Euper, died yesterday morning early,
about 2 o'clock. Mrs. Schultz had
been growing weaker, but her death
was not at all expected anyways soon.
Indeed, but day or two ago Mr..
Schultz expressed himself as hopeful
of his wife's ultimate recovery. But
the strong hand of consumption had
laid hold of her and after little
warning in the way of a prolonged
cough, she sank in her long eep.
The death then came almost unex-
pectedly and this renders it all the
more sad. But it is touching one in
many ways. She was still bride
when she died, her marriage having
taken place last September, few
days more than eleven months. She
showed some symptoms ofthe disease
about two years ago and expressed
her fears to her good old mother, whes
in y good, motherly way laughed
away all her fears. When Will wooed
and won her she told him her old
fears, but he also persuaded her oul
of that frame of mind and hurried OIL
the marriage with the hope that she
would cheer up.
Will always encouraged his wift
that she would soon be well. When
she began to fail he sent her to Den
yer. That helping her little she came
to Winslow, improved there awhile
and then returned to Fort Smith
where her young husband broken
heartedly watched her waste away
day by day until the weary eyes
looked their last on him, and tht
weary head sank back to rise nt
more.
AS Miss Eda Euper she was knowr
to nearly all our citizens who were
raised here or who were here lons
time. She was just Is years of age
All of our older citizens will remen'
Der the handsome, brown.eyed, fair
haired girl on her way to and from
school. AS she grew into womanhooo
she was beloved and admired for hel
many truly womanly qua tiles. Many
friends will mourn over her untimely
death; her relatives have the sympa
thy of the community, and may hel
young husband bear his weight O
woe and tread his lonely pathway
with Christian resignation.

it was awarded a first prize or a

jury was the best equipped to make

Their verdict was supported by the
testimony of DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief
