mon thing that people are careless about
it-so careless that more serious sickness
ensues and frequent visits to the doctor
become necessary.
1t really seems strange, when the REM

allow themselves to remain subject to
such troubles. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets cure constipation. That means that
they are good for biliousness, sick and
bilious headaches, indigestion, sour stom-

"heart-bprn," Aatulence and dyspepsia.
They are tiny, sugar-coated granules that
the merest child will take readily. They
are mild, gentle, quick and efficient.
They are Of purely vegetable composition
and work in strict accord with nature.
They cause no gripping and are as pleasant
in their action as they are pleasant to
take. Their help lasts. Therefore you
don't become slave to their use as with
other pills. Once used they are always
in favor. One little Pellet is laxative,
two are mildly cathartic. One Pellet
taken after dinner will promote digestion
and to relieve distress from over eating
they are unequaled.

a DISPATCH from Washington a
few days since gave out the infor-
nation that the Dawes commission
pleased neither the Indians nor
the whites in this country. Those
who are best acquainted with the
gentlemen OF that commission
know their desire is 10 care for the
rights of the true Indian only and
that they have never displayed
any great solicitude for the vel
fare of the whites in this country
white Indians, white adopted
citizens and on-citizens. The
facts are, they know the latter
classes need no help-they can
take care of themselves.

which provides for military train

There is a humorous side even
to the the new curriculum of alco-
hol, tobacco, and opium in the
schools. Recently teacher said
to her class of infants: Now, girls,
| want you to tell me which is the
most beautiful of all liquids? One
little tot raised her hand and said,
tea ma'am. While this seems cum
ming at first glance yet there is a
large grain of truth.in it, as many
people, especially women, use tea
to an injurious extent. We should
be temperate in all things. The
effects of tea when taken in large
quantities are very injurious tend
ing to an irritation of mucous, sur
faces and drying up of the natur-
al secreiions.

probably find out something about

W. C. T. u. COLUMN.

Owing to the kindness and cour-
tesy of the editor of this paper
there has been a space allotted to
the use of the local w. e. T. U.
We therefore shall in the future
endeavor to have something in
this space which will be of interest
and possibly profit, to the reader.
A mass meeting by the w. C. T.
U. was held last Friday evening in
the Congregational church of this
city. Despite the muddy streets
and darkness, the house was
crowded. There was an interest
ing program which was listened to
most attentively. The principal
features of the evening was the ad-
dress by Mr.. Downing. He took
for his subject "The influence of
an idea," the idea being the
germ of thought which originated
in the mind of Mother Thompson
several years ago, and the result of
this idea being the w. C. T. U. of
the present time. He spoke of
himself as having been a temper
ance lecturer since his residence
here, a fact well known by all. At
the close of the meeting an oppor-
tunity was given any one present
to sign the pledge and become
member of the local union. Fol-
lowing is the pledge:
| hereby solmnly promise, God
helping me, to abstain from all dis
titled and malt liquors including
wine, beer and cider, as beverage
and to employ all proper means to
discourage the use of and traffic in
the same.
The object of the union is to
educate public sentiment up

If IT BE true as stated by soms
of our exchanges that E. c. Boudi-
not has said that the Cherokee
people ought to get ready for the
inevitable change that is surely
coming to this country and that
the wise course would be to select
a commission and take hand in
shaping the change to the best ad-
vantage of the Cherokees, then we
believe he is acting the part of
benefactor of his people. Mr..
Boudinot is as well qualified to
speak of the Cherokee tribe
as any man living, and is
in a position to know how
to speak intelligently on this SUBJ
ject. 1t certainly will not Increase
the damage to Cherokee institu-
tons for the people interested to
know the truth. 1t certainly
would not inure to the advantage
of the Indians to refuse to discuss
a question of such vital importance
to themselves as the dissolution Of
their government. Harm has al
ready resulted from the sickly
sentimentalism of some OF the lead
ers of the Indians and of part of
the press that ought to stand for
the sturdy and honest enlighten-
ment of the people of interest. If
it be fact that change of land
tenure. and OF tribal government
wirhal is in store for the Indians
in this territory and that the con-
gress of the United States is de-
termined to bring it 10 pass, then
it is uDquestionably the duty of
the press of the country to present
the whole matter 10 the people
honestly and fearlessly. 1t is the
duty OF every patriotic citizen of
these Indian tribes to labor for the
best interests OF his people, and to
assist 10 the extent of his ability
in protecting and preserving what
ever is worth saving Of his govern
ment and his heritage. The cry
that has been and is being raised
in certain quarters whenever an
honest and fair presentation of the
situation here is attempted by an
in ndividusl or a newspaper is get
ting 10 be very mOnotonous, and to
the thinking ones it begins to
sound mighty silly.

A VERY mischievous system of
of defense set up almost daily in
the courts is that of drunkenness.
A few days ago in Judge Spring
er's court man was being tried
for disturbing the peace, assault or
some similar crime, and in making
his statement to the jury it was
plainly noticeable that his desire
was to impress both court and jury
with the idea that he was drunk
when the crime was committed.
And criminals frequently escape
severe punishment on the plea
that they were under the influence
of drink when they committed the
crime. There are a class of fel-
lows that carry a convenient 'jag"
about with them nearly all the
time, and if this be a defense they
can certainly never be guilty Of
any great crime.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1896-02-13

When a man dies many people
have many good words to say for
him and perform in no ostenta
tious manner many kind acts. His
former competitors in business at
tend the funeral and perform many
kindly offices for the dead, when
he is iairly out of the way. Now
if these words were said when he
was alive and pulling hard against
the stream he would have appre-
ciated it more. Men are noticed
at funerals who a few days or
weeks before could not find words
mean enough to use against the
poor fellow in the coffin. You
might as well stay away. The
kindly offices after death are not
appreciated by the man in the box,
and the folks at the funeral only
smile in their sleeves and size you.
Give your words when it will do
good. Do not throw on a thin
gauze of sympathy at the fun al; f;
everybody can see through it.
