FLOUR FOR CHEROKEE INDIANS.


Acting Secretary Sims has decided not
to pay 81 bushel for wheat for the
Cherokee Indians in the Southeast, but
will buy flour for them instead. These
Indians have flour mill at their reser-
vation, and the Indian bureau wanted
to make use OF it; but, as the Indians
have raised no wheat of their own, the
other alternative is deemed proper.

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, June 25.-The Cam
palgn County News in an article in.
wolves Chief OF Police Kent in the
most inhuman treatment of a negro
who was suffering from small pox.
The News story in substance is:
zone day last week a negro came to
this city. He had been at Tolono.
where he informed the authorities that
he had smallpox, caught from nursing
a smallpox patient, and they had con
structed Pesthouse, from which he
escaped by some means and made his
way to Campaign. The report had
reached this city Of the smallpox scare
at Tolono, and when William Lemons.
tile factory teamster, found the negro
lying in the ditch at the roadside and,
being informed that he was sick, i'm
mediately became fearful that he was
afflicted with the dread disease. Later
he saw the chief of police and informed
him of the condition of the tramp.
The chief took Lemons whip and went
to where the negro was lying. At
this time there were several workmen
with Lemon, and great was their sur
prise to see Kent raise the whip and
strike the negro several blows. The
negro in his pitiful condition scarcely
had strength to rise to his feet, but the
blows of the mule whip finally forced
him to rise and attempt to struggle
awav. Even after he raised himself
the lash was applied to him, and in his
attempt to obey orders and get out of
town he struggled along the railroad
track, almost falling at every step.
Not content with the inhuman treat
ment he had given him, Kent continued
to prod him with the but end of the
whip until the fellow had gone beyond
the city limits. For three days and
nights the negro lay under a tree
writing in agony, ministered to by a
kind old Scotch woman, who would put
out food and water for him. Scandal
stories leaked out and a physician
visited the negro, and, after an examin-
alton, said that he was afl icted with
smallpox in its worst form. A rudelv
formed pesthouse was built and in this
swealtering pen the negro lay in his
paroxysms of torture.
The negro died and was buried on
the spot. The negroes of both this
city and Urbana are highly incensed
at the. barbarous manner in which one
of their race was treated"
