THE general opinion is that there
is some kind of a scheme behind
each of the townsite bills with
which the national council has
been wrestling durin the days OF
the present call session. However
true this may be, it is a notorious
fact that there is little legislation
attempted at Tahlequah of late
that does not embody something
detrimental to the welfare of the
people at large.

AMOnopOly Measure.

Senator Geo. W. Benge intro
duced a bill in the senate last week
to prevent monopoly in the pur-
chase of intruder places, and also
to check monopoly in the owner
ship of improvements on the pub
lie domain. Following is the bill:
An act. to prevent monopoly of improve
mente:
Whereas, half mile square OF
usufruct, or a quarter o. a mile
from any commenced improve
ment on the common domain, has
since the formation of the govern
ment. been allowed to all citizens
alike to enable such citizen to
complete his improvement or to
extend the same when inspired by
a spirit of industry and enterprise,
for which latter stated reason also
no limit has heretofore been fixed
to the number of any citizens i'm
provements, and,
Whereas, The letter and spirit
of the constitution, article l, sec
ton 2, forbids any citizen to
speculate in improvements by ac-
quiring possession of more of the
common domain than a comfort
able living demands, and than the
equal rights of all other citizens to
make use of the common domain
for the same purpose will allow
the national council being empow-
cred to enact laws to prevent such
speculation-and,
Whereas, The condition of affairs
in the Cherokee nation as respects
the settlement of the common do
main requires the Immediate en-
actment of such laws: therefore,
Be it enacted by the national
council, That in consequence Of
the restrictions imposed upon pur-
chasers of improvements in the
"act providing for the sale of i'm
provements left by intruders," it
shall not hereafter be lawful for
any citizen of this nation to own
more than one improvement at
one time. No improvement ex-
ceeding in extent one-half mile
square shall be considered lawful,
so far as the excess is concerned.
Any citizen holding in his own
name more than one improvement
shall be allowed to make choice of
one of the number which he shall
have registered in the district
clerks office by metes and bounds,
and shall be requested to sell the
others within a year from the date
of this act to some citizen who
owns no improvements; failing in
which at the expiration of that
time, such citizen shall be requir-
ed to paw - dollar, annually,
per acre, in advance, to the nation
for the use of such improvements,
which Improvements, In default of
such payment in advance, shall re-
vert to the common domain. And
the requirements and restrictions
shall apply to all single improve
ments held by citizens which ex-
ceed in extent one-half mile
square. The excess shall either
be sold within the year as provid
ed, or the use of such excess shall
be paid for, or the same shall re-
vert to the common domain as
above provided.

The much-advertised and the
much -disfgured silver--tongued d
Kentuckian has recently mounted
the political stump. 1t is safe TO
say that if he draws no better than
he did in his attempt to lecture
last winter, he might as well climb
right down off the stump, and
bathe his silver tongue in golden
silence, the only decent thing that
a man Gisgraced as he is can do.

THE farm and improvements o.
J. ]. Hubbard, near Alton, were
sold by Constable Isbell last Sat
urday under chattel mortgage, F.
NJ. Crowell being the purchaser,
and the price paid was $780,
Hubbard is on the intruder list,
but the farm was not appraised,
having been made since August i
1856. Mr.. Crowell is a Cherokee
citizen and the question as 10
whether he violated the law in
making the above purchase is one
of the legal points involved.

CHANGE Is THE IMMUTABLE LAW

Our daily familiarity with the
conditions of things around us
often hinders our due apprehen-
sion and appreciation of them.
Yet it should be our earnest duty
to amend to the utmost of our
ability all existent evils. The
person who does not live with an
earnest desire to make the world
in which he lives better is failure.
To be continually whining about
evils that everybody knows do ex-
ist, without making any effort to
remedy them. is little short of pes
simistic. So with the govern
mental affairs of the Cherokee ma
ton. You sSrcely meet a man
who is not willing to tell you
that our affairs are in bad shape
and that the business of the nation
has been shamefully neglected.
But Notwithstanding all this there
are very few unselfish enough to
come out openly and declare for a
remedy. The present is a time
when mems ideas are rapidly
changing; especially is it SO here
in a country and under a condition
of affairs that is an amomoly in the
history of governments, namely, a
nation within a nations so to speak.
The idea or the policy that was
perfect five years ago, relative to
the affairs of the Cherokee nation.
is moss grown and antediluvian
now and does not meet the ext
gency of the present time. There
was a time not far back when a
man was considered the enemy of
his country if he even limited at al
lotment of lands, but now the
more thoughtful of our people
openly avow that such a measure
is the only alternative.

WADDIE HUDSON, of the Table

The Cherokee Advocate, that
fossilized old mossback, has finally
decided to advocate allotment.
When the idea can gain a lodg-
ment in the brain of its editor that
the time has come for a change, it
ought not to take long for the aver
age citizen to reach the same con-
clusion. OF all the unreasonable
opposition that has come from any
source, of all the foolish objections
that have been urged, the worst
have come from that sheet, as
quoted by its contemporaries

WHAT ABOUT
OUR KIDNEYS !?
Some Facts About Their Pains and
Diseases.
The Symptoms Of Sick Kidneys and the
Diseases That Sick Kidneys VIII Cause.
A Sure Cure for the kidneys and for
These Diseases.

I There are great many people who
don't know that the kidneys are simply
filters
All the blood made by the food we eat
passes through our kidneys
The kidneys separate what Is bad from
what is good, what is unhealthy from
what Is healthy, throw out the bad and
let the good pass on to nourlsh our body.
And this Is going ON every minute Of
our lives
Some folks overwork their kidneys
They have to suffer the consequences
But the consequences would not be so
bad II they would take DIR. Hobbs Spara-
gus Kidney Pills,
The kidneys get overworked from
worry, hard work of the body or mind,
excuses. overeating, etc.
Worry Is probably the most common Of
these causes.
Overwork of the kidneys makes them
sick, and they make us sick.
When the kidneys are sick the blood
suffers. 1t gets poor, thin, unhealthy, poi
sonous
When our kidneys are sick we may have
Brlght's Disease, Diabetes, Nephritis and
other dangerous kidney troubles.
Or We may have Rheumatism, Gout,
Neuralgia, General Muscular Weakness,
etc ; or Annmis, Pale and Sallow COM
plexion, Chlorosis or Green Sickness, Dig
illness, etc. or Skin Diseases pimples.
Blotches, Eruptions etc.
1t may seem wonderful that one medi-
cine should be able to cure all these dis
eases, but when we remember that they
are all caused by impure blood, and that
the impure blood is caused by the kidneys,
it becomes a question Of simple common
sense
The kidneys make pure blood.
Pure blood means health.
Therefore, when you have diseases of
impure blood, cure your kidneys with DIR.
Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills.
This will make you well and strong
and hearty.
DIR, Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills con-
tain, in concentrated form, special vegetable
drugs which cure and renew the kidneys.
The combination from which they are
made is found in no other medicine or
prescription. 1t was first used by DR..
Hobb in his private practice many years
ago, and was so unfailinely successful
that his original prescription was finally
made up into DIR, Hobbs Sparagus Kid
ncy Pills. The concentrated extract Of
Asparagus which is tho principal ingre-
dent is prepared exclusively by the Hobbs
Medicine Co, under special process.
DIR. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills will
cure you when you are sick
They will put new blood and new life
into you They will give you new ambi-
ton, new looks and new brightness Of
eyes and skin.

FRANK BUTLER OF AUGUSTA,
Rourns Loss Of His Companion and S73 in
Cash. at Lewiston.

Last Saturday, man named Frank
Butler of Augusta, who has been work
ing at Rumford Falls, was paid off and
came to Lewiston with companion, whom
hs says lives in Winslow
Both men got drunk, and were around
town all day. At night they were found
on the street, and, as they professsd to
want to find hotel. the officer directed
them to the nearest boarding house.
B itler is sure that when he went TO bts,
taat night he had s73 in his pocket. He
occupied room with his chuln, and when
he awoke the next morning the friend was
dressing.
"Oh, lay down and so TO Sleep said
the man who was getting up. Butler was
so sleepy that he decided to do so and lay
down at once. When he next awoke the
sun was high in the heavens as Scott
says, and the pocket in which he had his
money was empty. Search where he
would, he could not find trace of his
chum In the city. He was still under the
influence Of liquor when he complained TO
the police, today.-Lewistcn Journal,
Oct. 90.

The Y. M. C. A. Meetings.

Yesterday was truly very blessed day.
Certainly the people of Augusta owe Mr..
Corson, our Y. NJ. G. A. secretary, more
than Il debt of thanks for making it pcs
sible for them to know and feel the in
lluenco of this humble servant of God.
The young men S work has been having
decided influence in our city all the year.
Perhaps the friends generally have not
known that up in this little room, wholly
unsuitable for the use of young men, a
quiet but positive work has been going
forward for Christ. They deserve, let it
be said here, a better place, and let the
| successful meetings emphasize the need.
Let people who pray and who give ask
this question: SIS there not something
which can do to help along this cause
for the young mem" Never before in the
history of the association has such a noble
work been undertaken or carried forward
Yesterday, the secretary passed about q
few facts" relating to the Ladies'
Auxiliary, which were very interesting.
From these facts clear idea Of the work
can be obtained. The appeal must GER
tainly be very strong for ell ladies to as
sooiate themselves in this work for the
Master All receiving these leaflets should
consider seriously their duty. The cause
of the young men, we are sure, will have
more of our thought in the future.
1t was a great pleasure to look upon the
large number who gathered, last night,
to make their first public confession Of
Christ. This meeting was the last of the
Y. NJ. c. A. services, and Mr.. Gale took
the Pullman for Boston, whore special
duties demand his attention. But the
interest has been so great and the pastors
and Christian workers were so anxious to
have him come back, that it seemed bes.
to ask the Y. NJ. c. A. boys in Colby to
release him from an engagement with
them He will therefore come back at the
earnest request of the pastors and the
l,rge audience which completely filed the
Baptist church, last night, to work with
the churches for four days.
! While the meetings will not be under
the auspices of the Y. NJ C. A.. longer,
they will continue 10 be of similar
character and will probably be held at the
same place. The same Christian people
will unite in them and we may look for
ward to week of great blessing. The
interruption Of a few days will enable us
all to rest and be ready to work with re-
newed vigor
Mass meetings will be arranged for Sun
day and the further services will be an
nounced at the proper time.

STATE HOUSE.
Two New Corporations File Certif-
Gates at Secretary Of States Office.
Encouraging Repairs Of Fish Propagation
and Abundance Of Game.

| The following new corporations filed
their papers at the secretary Of State
office, yesterday:
The Boston Toilet Soap Company, or
ganized at Kittery, for the purpose of buy
| ing, selling and manufacturing toilet
soaps and articles, with s25, 900 capital
stock, of which s125 is paid in. The off,
GERS are: President, F. Howard Chase of
Boston, Mass treasurer, David Il. S.
Tappan of Brookline, Mass.
| The Franklin Land Company, organized
at Jay, for the purpose of buying, holding
and selling real estate, with $4,000 capital
stock, of which s25 is paid in. The Off
GERS are: President, f. H. Lane of North
Jay, Me-; treasurer Stanton Wasgatt of
North Jay, Me.
| Hon. Henry o. Stanley Of the fish and
game commission, was at the Capitol q
short time, yesterday morning, and spoke
very encuuragingly OF the fish propagation
prospects. He has recently been engaged
at Auburn, sending out salmon and trout
to the different waters Of the State. He
apprehends that there will not be quite as
large an amount of eggs for Matching
purposes as was at one time expected,
owing to the low water throughout the
State, in brooks, rivers and lakes, but Say S
that a few rains within week or 10 days
will prevent any serious loss in that direc-
tion. At Sebago lake they have nearly
i 400 salmon in the pound, but high water
is there much needed to continue the run
of salmon on their spawning grounds
| Mr.. Stanley said cit is very encourage
ing to hear the reports about the good
hunting The fish question we are, at
present, giving the greater part of our at
tention. Hardly day goes by in which
! do not hear reports Of a deer being killed
close by Dixfield, and they are more plenty
than they have been for years. I ~
derstand from the agents of the American
Express Company that, If the shipment of
deer continues at the rate it has since the
first of the month, by Nov.S1 it will have
reached 1000, with an unusually large
number of moose and caribou"
Recently Mr.. Stanley has been engaged
in working on an English brown trout
which will exist in warmer waters than
the ordinary speckled trout, and proposes
to put them into various waters and
ponds throughout the State. They are
very prolific and hardy, and excellent eat
ing.
A few days ago the commissioners
placed some young salmon in Afford s
lake at Hope. The salmon number about
1900 and are from three to four inches
long They had been fed since last May
and were brought in cans. They came
from the State hatchery at Auburn, where
there are now between 40, 200 and so, 000
