Choctaws Reach an Agreement with the
Dawes Commission and Express
Themselves as Satisfied

Fort Smith, Ark, Dec. r.
The Choctaws have at last
reached an agreement with the
Dawes commission, and the
members of their delegation
left for their homes today. This
is the first of the tribes to con-
clude a treaty looking to the
allotment and abolition of tribal
government. This agreement
has not yet been signed, but
delegates expressed themselves
as satisfied with the matter as
it now stands, and said that the
agreement would be written out
and they would meet the Dawes
commission in Muskogee next
Saturday and attach their sigma
lures to the document. The
present proposition is to set
apart town sites and all minera
and coal lands in the Choctaw
Nation and divide the remainder
equally between citizens. Town
lots are to be sold at not less
than their appraised value and
non-citizens may be purchasers.
Allotted lands are to be inalien-
able and untaXable for a period
of % years. The abolition OF
tribal government is also includ-
ed. 1t is not to be accomplish.
ed, however, in less than eight
years, although lands are to bC
allotted as soon as the survey
is completed and the agreement
ratified by congress. There j:
no provision for per capita pay
ment for surrender of triba
autonomy, although the natioI
does not relinquish any of it
present claims against the gov
ernment. The Dawes commits
sion is not as confident of tn,
success of negotiations as tn,
Choctaws are. They say tn,
agreement was as nearly reach
ed several times before, bu
new discussions arose before
was signed. The commission
leaves tomorrow for Muskoge

care is required than in cooking any
thing else. Tho quality Of the coffee
Is the thing. and because Americans
insist on buying cheap grades OF
coffee they don't get good coffee.
They blame their wives and their
servants for the result of their own
false economy. Americans drink
moro coffee than any other nation,
but they don't drink the best. They
drink coffoe as a staple article of

to 20 cents moro n pound on an aver

STATE HICKMAN les.

South Carolina is called the "Pal-
metto state" either from the abundance
of that plant, which grows to great per-
fection in it's semitropical climate, or
from the appearance of a representation
of the palmetto in the state arms.
Iowa almost from the date of its ad-
mission has been called the "Hawkeye
state" Hawkeye was the name of a
noted Indian chief, who, in the early
days, caused no little trouble along the
western border of American civiliza-
ton.
Indiana Is called the 'Hoosier state"
The origin of the word hoosier is yelled
in obscurity, but the most reasonable
conjecture is that it was derived from
the word ''husher," formerly used in
the western states to indicate an over.
bearing person or bully.
North Carolina in colonial days was
called the "The Old North Colony" and
the name, with state instead OF colony
has been retained to the present time

in the person of Sixth Auditor Howard,
has been making so much trouble by
holding up post-office accounts that 1t
is said Postmaster General Wilson has
notified Mr.. Cleveland that If Howard
isn't fred he will himself resign. The
clerks in the Sixth Auditors Office,
commonly called Botany Bay" are
much interested in the outcome of this
squabble. They hate Howard, who is
a fussy, self-consequential sort of a
duck, but, of course, do not dare to say
so publicly. But Howard has pull
somewhere. He was made Chief Clerk
OF the Post Office department by Mr..
Bissell shortly after he became Post
master General, and was later promot-
ed to be Sixth Auditor. This position
is under the Treasury, but it is said
that Mr.. Cleveland appointed Howard
without consulting Secretary Carlisle.
Mr.. Cleveland's announcement that
his only desire hereafter is to be pri-
vate in the Democratic party is regard
ed as a sort of last ditch eXpedient to
prevent the adoption of free coinage
plank by the Chicago convention. 1t
may have that result, but the best in
formed Democrats in Washington
doubt it. Some time ago Senator Brice
begged Mr.. Cleveland to make a plain
announcement that he would not be a
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton, and it was because of Mr.. Cleve-
lands refusal to do 50 that Brice
abandoned the fight he had intended
making against the silver Democrats
in Ohio, and told his friends that he
didn't care continental what either
Cleveland or the Chicago convention
did. So far as Mr.. Cleveland's an
nouncement relates to third term
nomination for himself it is absolutely
meaningless, and was entirely unnec-
essary. The Democrats had them
selves already made it so plain that he
who ran could read that Mr.. Cleveland
would heaeafter be only private in
the party. In plain English he has
simply resigned something that he had
been convinced that he couldn't get,
just as Jack did his supper in the
nursery book. S.
