Death OF Col, JOhu n Carroll.

Col. John 7. Carroll, one of the
best known men in Northwest Ar
kansas, died at Eureka Springs on
the morning of Saturday, the Oath
He was 81 years of age. His fun.
eral took place on the following
day and was attended by an i'm
mense concourse of people. Col.
Corroll had been a resident of Ar
kansas since 1865. He was born
in the state of Virginia, but the
early years of his life were spent
in the old Cherokee nation east of
the Mississippi. In 1858 his father
came west with the Cherokees and
settled at Fort Gibson. The sub
ject OF this sketch lived with the
Cherokees until 1853, marrying q
full-blooded Cherokee lady. In
that year he moved TO Missouri.
When the war broke out he joined
his fortunes with those of the con-
federate army, serving throughout
the entire struggle and participat-
ing in a number of battles. Before
the close of the war ne reached the
rank of colonel. Shortly after
the close of the war he settled in
Arkansas. He served in the legis-
lature and in the constitutional
convention of 1874, and during
President Cleveland's first admin
istration was marshal of the west
ern district of Arkansas. He was a
descendant of the famous Mary
land family of-Carrolls of revolu-

The Queen Of All.


Honor the dear old mother.
Time has scattered the snowy
locks on her brow, plowed deep
furrows on her cheeks, but is she
not sweet and beautiful? The lips
are thin and shrunken, but those
are the lips which have kissed
many hot tear from the childish
cheeks and they are the sweetest
lips in all the world. The eve is
dim yet it glows with the soft
radience of holy love which can
never fade.
Ah, yes, she is a dear old moth
er, the sands of lite are nearly run
out, but feeble as she is she will 90
further and reach down lower for
you than any on earth; you cannot
walk into q midnight where she
cannot see you; you cannot enter a
prison whose bars will keep her
out;you can never mount a scaffold
too high for her to reach, that she
may kiss and bless you in evidence
of her deathless love. When the
world shall despise and forsake
you, when it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed, the dear
old mother will gather you in her
feeble arms and carry you home
and tell you of all your virtues
until you almost forget that your
soul is disfgured by vices. Love
mother kindly and cheer her de-
clining years with holy devotion.

Allotment.

A very able editorial on "Divis-
Ion of Our Lands" appeared in the
last issue of the INDIAN CHIEFTAIN.
If We had space in this issue of the
Advocate we would be pleased to
copy, but the editorial will appear
in our next issue. The editor
handles his subject well and very
plainly shows the good benefits
that would arise from the dividing
of the Cherokee lands among the
citizens. There is no denying the
fact, that something will have to
be done in the near future, in or
der that each citizen gets his or
her pro rata share of the lands. 1t
is much TO be regretted that few
of our citizens worship the dollar
so much that they forget that their
poor neighbor has any rights in the
country whatsoever. Because they
have the money, they proceed to
fence in large tracts of land, (more
than their share) for the only pur-
pose of selling the hay that grows
upon it. Their poor neighbor has
just as much right to the grass and
needs it just as bad. But no, the
poor man must stand back and see
what is his gobbled up by those
who happen to have money. The
Cherokees have more greedy and
avaricious people among them than
any other race of people upon the
globe.
The CHIEFTAIN says in Coowee-
scoowee district it is impossi-
bic for a citizen to move into that
district and locate a home upon
the public domain-all the public
domain is fenced up. Men in that
district, the editor further says,
hold large tracts of land more than
their share, at a higher figure per
acre than land can be purchased in
the surrounding states The Cher
okee constitution forbids selling
land and he can only dispose of
his improvements. Something
VIII have to be done to check this
awful evil. 1t is coming to a bad
state of affairs in this nation, when
a citizen can go upon the public
domain, fence ND more land than
his pro rata share and when anoth-
er citizen desires to make for him.
self and family home, to be told
by the person having the large
tract of land that before you can
get this land you must pay me for
1t. This is wrong. Yes, doubly
wrong, and those whom we have
elected to look after all of our in
terests, at the last election, should
pass a law, booting these greedy
people off of what they are keep
ing to the detriment of other citi
zens. Do this, ye solons, and you
will give us all a home and allow
us to get what is ours. We say do
this for your poor people and your
act of kindness, justice and Eu-
manity will stand pleading in your
behalf on the great judgment day
before Him who is so just and
merciful.-Advocate.

Thomas ]. Thornton.

The sentence of Thos. J. Thorn.
ton to be hanged Oct. 9th, for the
murder of John Ortner, was a Sc
we're trial to the prisoner.
In passing sentence the court
said; The evidence in your case
shows you shot your brother-in.
law in wanton and unprovoked
way. Your action evidences great
recklessness, great wickedness, and
great malice and such disregard Of
human life as to exhibit that you
have heart void of social duty,
and mind fatally bent on mischief.
The testimony shows you shot John
Ortner in the back while he had his
hand on the door knob. Evident.
ly he was trying TO escape fromyou
at the time he was killed. There
was no use whatever for the kill
ing. The verdict of the jury, from
the nature of the evidence and the
law applicable to it. is just and
correct one. They could not have
found otherwise than they did and
have performed their duty to the
country, its laws and its people.
The verdict is one which must
have followed the evidence in your
case.
Your life has not been what it
ought to have been. l am sorry
to say your actions in the past as
well as in the killing of Ortner,
were of character to show you
to be man of blood, man with
out regard for human life. Facts
have come to the knowledge of
the court showing that 13 years
ago, at Southwest City, Mo-, you
hid behind some cord wood near a
mill leading towards your home,
and when man by the name of
Franks came along you shot him
from your place of concealment.
You then fed so the officers of the
law and friends of the murdered
man knew not of your where
abouts. Justice is sometimes
tardy but it will at last overtake
those who offend it by the COM
mission of great crimes. 1t is so
ordained that no man can commit
even a wrong of the slightest char
acter, much less a great crime,
without aging some penalty. He
must make atonement for his
crimes to man as well as to God.
He cannot escape this though he
may sometimes evade justice, fool
juries and cheat the law. God has
so willed it that man must answer
Tor every wrong, every crime.
Your greatest duty is now to
yourself.

A SUBJECT of much needed legis-
lation and one that should claim
the attention of council without
delay is the matter of granting
franchises by municipal councils
and the secret sale of city bonds.
1t is a dangerous power to repose
in FIVE or six men and a matter
that involves the property and the
rights of the whole country. In
our own town it is said bonds have
been sold during the present ad-
ministration and probably not a
halt dozen citizens know anything
about it, as to quantity or price.
Pay day will come sometime and
the city will have to meet it.
There has been a vast amount of
money handled by our city govern
ment within the last two years and
SO far as the public knows no ac-
count made of it.

WE ANSWER WITH PLEASURE.

We would like to ask the INDIAN
CHIEFTAIN-suppose the Cherokees
would agree to an equal division
of lands, would the United States
agree to allow the Cherokee peo-
pie to say who were entitled to the
land? If the Dawes commission
will grant our people this priv
ilege, We see no reason why an
could not be reached.
Something will have to be done;we
See that inevitably. Some op
posed the last payment on the
2rounds that the full-bloods would
brow their money away-it has
roven the contrary. We were in
lhe bank a few days ago and
fhile there saw two full blood

fhe full-bloods have not squan-
(dered their money as the half
breeds, and if the lands were di-
Tided they would not fool their
Ind away. We have opposed di-
ision of lands, but our own peo-
e @bse who are so greedy as to
E1ce more land than their share,

The Missouri Editor, a ,

The Missouri Editor, a very
brainy magazine for editors, has
said that it is impossible for an
editor to do his duty and keep on
good terms with everybody. There
i S great deal of truth in this as
sertion, and doubtless has for its
origin the tact that it hurts some
people 70 publish the truth on
them. An editor who lacks the
nerve to fearlessly and truthfully
publish his opinions editorially,
need never expect to carry very
much influence with his readers.
The man that can pass through this
world without being assailed by
opposition, would hardly be worth
much TO himself or the world
either. Hence it would be foolish
hecome-d discouraged because you
have enemies. Rater rejoice and
be exceedingly glad, and instead
of hating, love them.

CHEF HARRIS, so it is related

controversy as the Shawnee case
was arranged, outside of court. He
is, as stated, willing that every
freedman who was a Cherokee
slave or is a legal descendant of
one, should receive every dollar
due and looking to the perfecting
of a genuine roll of the same will
meet with delegates from each
neighborhood on the 18th inst.

way to abridge some expensive liti-
CATION and gives more promise of

The killing of guard Larry
Heating by Cherokee Bill was part
of a plot on part of the prisoners
to break Jail. Cherokee Bill was
only the tool to be used in over
coming the guards. The grand
jury investigated the case and Sc
cured enough evidence to warrant
them in indicting, Frank, Ed and
Lou Shelly, George and John
Pierce, Henry Starr, and Sherman
Vann for murder. Mrs. Shelly and
Vann are accused of passing in the
pistols to the conspirators. The
