Court of claims Decision.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-The United
States Court of Claims to-day rendered
two Important decisions. In the case of
the Delawares against the Cherokee ma
ton the original decree declared the Della
wares, as adopted citizens. to have equal
rights with the native Cherokees in the
common property of the nation. and to be
entitled to their proportionate part OF a
fund of $500. 600 derived from the public
lands of the nation. After the case had
gone to the Supreme Court the United
States purchased the Cherokee outlet and
the Cherokee government distributed So
$4,000 of the purchase money among those
who were "Cherokees by blood" Con-
gress reserved 81, 6oo,0 600 for the protection
of the DeIawares, ~Shawnees and freedmen
of the nation, and to await the event OF
the pending suits. This case now comes
back from the Supreme Court with the
former decree affirmed, and the Court or
Claims to-day extended it to the new 1uno
derived from the sale of the outlet ana
awarded the compliments, the
an additional Judgment of S1SS, 254.
In the case of the freedmen against the
Cherokee nation a decree was entered Tor
the first time in like manner declaring
that the compliments as adopted citizens
are entitled, under the Cherokee conStltu-
ton, to share equally in the common prop
erty of the nation. AS the number of the
freedmen greatly exceeds that of the Della
wares, the Judgment in this case is for a
very large amount, $780,, 1865. In each case
the opinion was by Justice Mott.

lands within the next three weeks. The
proclamations that nave been prepared for
opening the Yankton reservation in South

and by philosophizing upon Joe's cure

But sthe star of that goodly COM

When the minister had called atten-
ton to the now publicly renewed mar
riage VOWS Of Joseph and Mary Gust,
he departed somewhat from his usual
coarse, to deliver a homily on the
marriage state.
dearly beloved friends said he,
God has never before permitted me
to illustrate genuine marriage with
such a living example of what
it is. Here the fires of love
burn bright, as they burned
thirty-five years ago. Here is
the heathenish phrase of honeymoon

nubial love, ever fresh as in the hour.

the past-giving you a son without
the pains of maternity, and lifting
that son from mental darkness by his

There were tears in many eyes as

WELLMAN CITY.
BY JIM.

DI JIM
The health of the people here and
surrounding country is better than for
some months past.
1t is said that Mr.. M. L. Rails, one of
the Keystone Lumber Company's fore
men, has some of the finest growing
corn in this section of country. He
has an extensive farm run on the in
tensive plan, and we predict for him
great success.
Crops are some two weeks later than
last year. A great many farmers have
some planting to do yet. The cool
nights for the past few weeks have been
quite favorable for the propagation of
cut worms. They have done consider
able damage to cotton and gardens.
The bud worms have also done great
damage to corn, especially on low bot
tom lands.
We have observed of late that some
Democrats who voted against the sale
at the local option election in this
county few years ago and have ever
since boosted as being "as good a Pro
hibitionist as you are" now object to
being called ''Prohibition Democrats
but say they are only "anti-saloon
Democrats"
If there is any credit to be given to
newspaper reports, and they may some.
times tell the truth,-the political
clouds lowering over the Nation just
just now look ominous. They are
boiling up from the West and South
and have already reached to the North
and East. 1t certainly requires no
prophet to see that the storm will break
in all it's fury in the near future. II
will be settled either with ballots OF
bullets. Which shall it be?

sent there as the result of whisky,
is hoped that he will explain to his

element of his own city, where Mr..
