Bicyclist TWyman.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Dec. 2.-B. w. Twy-
man yesterday made a bicycle record of
$50 miles, less thirty-six feet, in twenty
four hours, at Fountain Ferry track, break
ing the twenty-four hour record for the
limited States. This was accomplished in
spite of a steady and sometimes binding
rain.
This is wrong. The old record was 402
miles held by Waller, and this he broke
at New York Saturday, making 439 and
over. Both Ashinger and Golden went over

A synopsis Of the report Of the
Teller committee that recently
visited this country may be found
on the outside Of this issue. This
is the most interesting Of all the
reports concerning this country.
Scarcely a month has elapsed
since the creation of Senator
Teller's commission, yet the most
thorough aud exhaustive report ev-
er made with reference to the five
tribes has already gone forth.
Doubtless Senator Teller and his
colleagues were greatly assisted in
their labors by the Dawes commits
sion, tn at is now here and is max
ing the most thorough investiga-
ton of affairs. The problem of pre-
pairing remedies for the evils exist
ing here has at last been un-
dertaken, and both political
parties are in harmony and in
favor of solvingit at once. Special
stress is given in the report to the
inefiiciency of the judicial system
here, as is also to the school sys-
TEN. Mr. Teller seems to have
been astounded at the number of
non-citizen Children denied the
privileges of an education here.

THE PART or WISDOM.

Those who are ranting against
change of land tenure in the five
tribes should stop long enough to
reflect that this land which by SOL
emn treaty was to be the common
property of the Indians forever
has gradually drifted away from
the real Indian and into the hands
of a few men who have appropri-
ated all the agricultural and all the
range land, and are now in posses
sion of it right under the eyes Of
the Dawes commission. Is any
one so dull as to suppose for a
moment that these facts are not
going straight to Washington, and
that their frantic efforts to beat
back the change that is inevitable
will only serve to accelerate the
movement that is now on to change
these tribal governments2 The
change may be fraught with i'll re.
suits to the people at large but il
need not necessarily be if our peo.
pie would fall into line, take hold
with the Dawes commission and
save as much as possible out oi
the wreck. 1t would certainly be
the part of wisdom.

lF those members OF the senate e
and council who fought Vinita so
persistently in the recent contest
TO secure a payment think that
Vinita is not excepting tab" on
them they are surely mistaken.
The member Of either house from
Delaware or Cooweescoowee who
does not look after the wants oI
this town, does not properly rep.
resent his district. Situated as il
Is in both districts, and accessible
by rail from four directions, and
having hotel facilities, commercial
interests, and a population second
TO no town in the nation, it GER
tainly has right 70 demand fair
treatment.

In the second proposition made
by the Dawes commission the chiel
difference from the first one sub
mitted is the acknowledgements of
the non-citizen element of the
country. The commission doubt.
less foresaw the difficulties that
would have been inevitable under
a system that allowed minority
rule. 1t is very probable that
such an agreement would have
caused trouble. Whenever the five
tribes are included in a state or
territory Of the United States, the
right Of suffrage will inure to all
alike.

If Senator Berry's amendment
to the sundry civil bill, introduced
last week, providing for an appro.
priation Of 100000 to pay the ex-
penses of surveying the lands OF
the five tribes should become a
law, our tribal system would have
to go. AT least it shows the trend
of congressional action with refer
ence to this country. Senator
Berry is friend to the five tribes
and more especially to the Chero-
KEGS, but he evidently understands
the condition of affairs here to be
such as to warrant drastic meas
ures. Great events are in store
for this Indian country.

THE question of forfeiture Of
citizenship by white adopted citi-
zens marrying ont" Of the nation,
has begun to attract considerable
attention of late. At the recon-
term of circuit court 80 Deiawar'
district sevo- ~ cases were DIS.
-~asseu because, as the court held,
it was the duty of the attorney
general TO bring such suits, and
that the law creating the Office oi
attorney general annulled the law
making it the duty of solicitors to
prosecute such suits. If the
statute of limitation obtains in
these cases, their dismissal would
simply mean a chance to take ad-
vantage of the law.

ONE Of the reasons urged by the
representatives OF Claremore and
Alton against making a payment
at Vinita was that there was no
grass growing in our streets on
which the people could pasture
their horses. That, gentlemen, is
fair and honest statement of the
case and the party who advanced
that idea had certainly been on the
ground and knew what he was
talking about.

771 Shawnees, making a total of

would give each citizen somewhere
near $50 acres. II one half the
public domain is good enough to
build a home on, the size of that
home would be rs acres; yet some
individual citizens are occupying
several thousand acres each. A
very small homestead is all any
citizen would get if the country
was allotted now, and it is getting
less and less.

Gov. Pattison at Houtzdale.

Gov. Pattison was at Houtzdale IN
Clearfield Co. last Saturday and during a
talk to the miners in the Opera House cali
ed attention to the decorations, explained
their object, recited the first paragraph OF
the preamble to the Constitution OF the
United Srates, and declared that the prin-
ciple of individual liberty which had caus-
ed our forefathers to sacrifice their lives
would prompt hundreds of citizens at this
time to make the same sacrifice if neces-
sary.
Then he talked on the contest now being
waged by the operators and the miners
and declared it was q business difference
and must be settled on business lines. and
that it was the duty of the operators to
meet their employees in spirit Of fairness,
to the end that an honorable compromise
should be made and the Industries of the
country be set TO work. He said the pres
ent situation could not continue and the
public peace be maintained, and ii the
parties to the contention did not settle 1t
on business lines the State would have to.
He explained the purpose of having a
State militia, saying it was not to settle
disputes between employers and employees,
but to preserve the peace and to secure to
every citizen individual liberty; and only
when individual liberty was denied would
the militia be called into service.
He was particularly plain in saying that
if the miners would not work themselves
ON the conditions named by the operators
and the operators could secure others to do
the work, those others should be protected
and that if the State government was not
strong enough to afford them the neces-
sary protection, the United States govern
ment would be asked for its aid, and all
knew what that meant.
The Governor concluded by expressing
the hope that his visit would lead to an
early conference of the miners and opera
tors, and promised to do all in his power
TO bring about an adjustment of the differ
ences.

NEroHBoRHooD NOTES.

A sensation was caused in New Castle,
last Tuesday by the finding OF two human
heads at the city dumping grounds: The
heads were wrapped in pieces OF oil cloth
and were inclosed in q small wooden box.
The flesh on the skulls was in an advanced
stage of decomposition. On the pieces OF
oil cloth were the names d. A. Metzgar
and Clell Elliott, also the figures 1884.
The skulls are taken as evidence of some
horrible crime and q full investigation ls
being made.
The burning of the 30.000-bbl. oil tank
belonging to the Producers OIL 20. near

by the flames.
A farmer near Kittanning recently heard
a smothered squawking in his hen house,
and twas midnight. When he went out
he found the hen house door ajar, and
sounds indicating that the intruder was

self outside of the hen house until morn
ing did appear. Then he looked in the
window and discerned neighbor, who
came contritely forth and paid the farmer

the house. The robbers placed the aged
couple in a room, locking them there
while q search for money was made.
Finding but $40, they attempted to
friohten the old man into telling where
the money was hidden by placing re-
volver at his head and threating to biow

Judge Ewing af Allegheny Co. filed an
opinion, Tuesday, refusing to confirm the
report OF the board of viewers on the pro-
posed condemnation of that portion OF the
Allegheny and Butler Plank road lying
within the limits of the borough of Etna.
The opinion first gives history of the
road from its construction in 1S4Q- The
road was constructed distance OF 32i
miles. little more than half of it being in
Allegheny Co.
The boundaries of Allegheny city were
extended and some years ago the city OF
Allegheny took portion of this road
about IL miles in length, paying for 1t 3d.
200. On this hearing it is stated that the
city has failed to keep in proper order that
portion so taken to the detriment oil the
company and those having to travel over
road.
In this case the viewers reported that 1t
was 10 the best interest ot the people OF
Allegheny county that this part OF the
road should be condemned and freed from
tollgates, and assess the damage to the
company at $40, 600, to be paid by Aile-
gheny county, but the Judge objects both
