BRICE NOT THE PURCHAS-
Err.
John Jacob Astor to Buy the
Ohio Southern.

SPRINGFIELD, o., Sept. 29.-It has
been current rumor that Calvin s.
Brice would be purchaser of the Ohio
Southern railroad at the sale Novem-
Der Z. This statement is entirely
without foundation, however. The
people'who will buy the road are
John Jacob Astor, of New York, and
Messrs. Haskell and Richie, of Lima,
and Joseph Megrue, who was until
recently receiver OF the road. Mr..
Astor is the monied man. The syndi-
cate also owns the Lima Northern,
and Mr.. Astor owns the Fipdlay, Ft.
Wayne & Western, which extends
from Findlay TO Ft. Wayne. Mr..
Astor is president of the road, and it
is to be put into a system with the
Ohio Southern and Lima Northern.

Notwithstanding the rainy wealth
er fair crowd gathered at the court
house Tuesday evening to hear the
speech of Hon. T. Il. Dunn of Find
lay. Those present were all repaid
for turning out upon such an unpro-
pitious evening, for Mr. Dunn made
an able argument in favor Of silver
and the double standard, and his
speech will bear good fruit for the
silver cause in Napoleon, as many
wavering republicans turned out to
hear him and went away convinced
that the white metal should be re-
stored to it's proper or former place
as money. Mr.. Dunn is a pleasant
speaker, and his arguments are clear
and forcible.

Particular People.

lar people, and we are glad OF
it, for we are a little particu-
lar ourselves. People who
are particular about the goods
they buy, who insist upon per-
fection as to durability, goods
to be as represented, best ma
terials and quality, are people
who know what they ought to
pay for goods and who refuse
to pay exhorbitant prices.
AS we have said we are par
ticular ourselves. Particular
in selecting our goods, and we
do our own selecting, from the
best concerns in the country;
insist upon the very highest
grade of goods, and as we pay
the plank down cash for every
dollars worth of goods pur-
chased we get them at the
lowest notch, and that is the
secret of now we can sell first
class stock at a price which
most dealers ask for second
class and inferior goods.
We are especially particu-
lar in the selection of our
stock of drugs and medicines.
They must always be up to
the standard, pure and fresh.
We pride ourselves in this de.
partment, and truthfully be-
lieve that we have drugs and
medicines for all the aches and
pains known to the human
race, and to the animal king
dom as we'll. We keep none
but what we can recommend,
and it is always wise to keep
an assortment Of goods, true
and tried remedies on hand, SC
that they may be near when
wanted, for it is a fact that
many lives are sacred, and
diseases prevented, by having
the right medicine at the right
time, and in time.
And while we are especially
particular with our stock o.
drugs and medicines, we are
equally particular in the Sc

house in the county dealing
in these goods, and we have

We keep no inferior paints o.

Extract From Presidents Message

The condition of affairs among
the five civilized tribes who occu-
py large tracts of land in the In
dian Territory, and who have gov
ernments of their own, has as
sumed such an aspect as to render
it almost indispensable that there
should be an entire change in the
relations of these Indians to the
general government. This seems
to be necessary in furtherance of
their own interests as well as for
the protection OF non-Indian resi-
dents in their territory. A com.
mission organized and empowered
under several recent laws is now
negotiating with these Indians for
the REIMBURSEMENT OF their courts
and the division of their common
lands in severalty, and aiding in
the settlement Of the troublesome
question of tribal membership.
The reception of their first proffers
of negotiations was not encouraging
but through patience and such con-
duct on their part as demonstrated
that their intentions were friendly
and in the interest of the best,
prospect of success has become
more promising. The efforts
should be to save the Indians from
the consequences Of their own mis-.
takes and improvidence, and to Sc
cure to the real Indian his rights
as against intruders and professed
friends who profit by his retrogres-
sion.
A change is also needed to pro
tect life aud property through the
operations of courts conducted ac-
cording to strict justice and strong
enough to enforce their mandates.
As a sincere friend OF the Indian
am exceedingly anxious that
these reforms should be accom-
plished with the consent and aid
Of the tribes and that no necessity
may be presented for radical or
drastic legislation. / hope, there
fore, that the commission now con.
ducting negotiations will soon be
able to report that progress has
been made toward friendly ad-
ljustment Of existing difficulties.

bringing about Of a change Of gov
ernment, why not do II now9
If the former reports Of the
Dawes commission concerning this
country were true, and they we're
in the main, congress is not justi-
fed in leaving present conditions
a single hour. If the real Indians
of these tribes are in need of pro-
lection against the rapacity of the
monopolists and boodlers Of their
own people, they need that pro-
lection without further procrasti-
nation. Away with the idea Of
eight years delay. The known
conditions here demand immediate
and sweeping legislation by con-
gress. When the government
names eight years, or one year, or
any time, 1T only grants that much
:ime for pillage and plunder, and
further violation of the treaties
that guarantee to the Indian pro-
lection from his own kind as wei
as from those without. The inter-
est Of the poor common Indian of
all these tribes demand immediate
relief. The leaders of all the five
tribes have adopted the fabian
policy of masterly inactivity. The
longer they can get the govern
ment to put off the inevitable
changes here the more money they
will have. and the less land and
money the poor Indian will have.
The Macedonian cry that is going
up to congress from this country
from now on is and will be, to
make the politicians and pasture
owners turn loose the Indians s
money and land that they have
gobbled and fenced up away from
him and his children till many Of
them are actually homeless. No
measure that does not compel
these land sharks TO disgorge will
be of any benefit to the real Indian
in this territory.

Indian Agent Wisdom is in
Washington on business connected
with the agency. While in Saint
Louis he was interviewed by the
Post Dispatch as to the conditions
here, and among other important
matters discussed hat the follow
ing to say about the repeating OF
the permit law: THE whites and
certain of the Creek tribe are
much exercised over the repeal by
the Creek council, on Nov. 10, OF
what was known as the Creek per-
nit law. This provided that, on
the issuance of a permit by the
proper officer of the tribe, a white
person could come into the terri.
tory as an employe of member OF
the tribe. The new law forblds
the employment, after January l,
1897, of any non-citizen or white
person by a Creek citizen. That
will mean that every white person
not a licensed trader, will have to
leave the territory. An effort is
to be made to have the~ United
States interfere to prevent the new
law being enforced, which is a
matter | shall discuss at Wash
ington."

GROUNDS OF APPEAL.

Following are the points of the
nine errors set forth in the appeal
OF the Watts citizenship cases in
the U. S. court at Ft. Smith:
That the commission erred in
rendering decisions on claims ad-
versely to the appellants and
against the proof submitted by the
appellants.
That it erred in investigating
claims and denying same in the
absence of a majority of the men,
bers of the commission.
That it erred in refusing appel
lants the right to produce proof
in rebuttal.
That il erred in denying appel.
lants the right of a trial of their
claims by a competent jury, as
granted to them by law and the
constitution of the United States.
That it erred in refusing appel
lants the right TO be present in
person or by attorney during the
trial and determination of their
claims before the said commission
That it erred in refusing to issue
process for witnesses and to send
for persons and papers when re.
1uested to do so by appellants.
That it erred in examining the
claims and proof of appellants and
denying same while the commits
sicn was not clothed with any
legal authority, nor had jurisdic-
ton, to render a decision on said
claims and deny the same.
That the act of congress, APP
proved June 10th, 1896, was un.
constitutional and had no power OF
legal right to confer jurisdiction on
said commission to try and deter
mine the rights to citizenship OF
said appellants, and said commits.
sion erred in determining the right
and denying the same to said ap,
pellants.
That congress had no power by
enactment to create, appoint anC

commission erred in denying the
claims Of said appellants without
any legal authority to do SO.
Wherefore the appellants in this
cause pray that an appeal be grant

Choctaw tribe there is at least one
palpable defect. The fixing OF a

BY an act of congress, approved
March 2, 1895, an appropriation OF
$500, 600 was made for the survey
of the Indian Territory. This
amount to be expended at the op.
tion OF the secretary of the interior
either by contract or under the SUI
pervision of the director of the U.
S. geological survey,
The secretary of the interior
placed this work under the geolog-
ioal survey, thereby departing, for
the first time, from the custom of
awarding such surveys by contract.
The economy and success of this
change is borne out by the fact that
out Of this appropriation the geo.
logical survey has been enabled TO
make a more complete and accu-
rate topographic map, without ad-
ditional expense than had the work
been let oy contract.
An additional amount of $780,
600 was appropriated by act of
congress, approved June 10, 1896,
for the continuance of this work.
This survey comprises the lands
of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek
and Seminole nations-the Chick
asaw nation having been surveyed
in 1878.
The field work was begun in
April, 1895, and up to November
1, 1896, the following is a tabulat-
ed statement of the progress Of the
work Of the land survey:
