SHOULDER STRAPS,
Their Effect Upon the Form Is Very
Bad.

Their Effect Upon the Form Is Very
Bad.
"a number of women have hopeless
ly deformed their shoulders by the
wearing of shoulder straps" said n
physical culture enthusiast the other
day to a class of ladies. THE weight of
the skirts on the straps has worn little
burrows in the heavy muscles of the
shoulders. Just notice the shape OF
women who wear narrow straps. OF
course, it is not observable when they
are dressed in ordinary costume, but
in evening dress L can pick out every
one in the room who is in the habit of
wearing straps.
"The proper thing is a fitted waist
with heavy material set in around the
armholes and down the sides as stays
or strengthening pieces. To these are
attached the buttons or hooks that sus-
tain the weight of the skirt.
''It is absolute suicide TO hitch these
things upon the ordinary corset. That
throws the whole of the weight upon
the body below the waist and is the
cause of more distress than one can
well imagine. There are a great many
people who could not be induced to
put shoulder straps on growing chill
dren; indeed, the waist is in every re-
spect more desirable. 1t need not be
high in the neck, but should cover the
curve of the shoulders so that the
weight of the garments may rest even
ly over them.
THE physical culturist has n wide
field, and the time is coming when the
possibility of developing the figure of
child will be studied as carefully as
the development of the mind. ~. Y.
Ledger.

Indian Bill Conference.

Washington, April 30.-The con-
ferees on the Indian appropriation
bill have not yet come together.
Representative Sherman of New
York has returned and the house
conferees are ready for the meet
ing, but so far the senate conferees
have shown no inclination TO begin
operations. The senators proba-
bly, have some inkling of the trou-
bic they are going to have through
the efforts of the members of the
house to secure important legisla-
ton affecting the continuance of
the Dawes commission As has
been before stated in the dis
patches the house conferees intend
to secure as comprehensive a cata-
logue of the duties of the commits
sion as possible in the section con-
tinuing their salaries. The incor-
poration of general legislation in
appropriation bills is always Wig
orOusly objected to, and is often
met with by final and effective
opposition at the White House.
In this instance, however, the
general Indian bill, enlarging the
duties of the Dawes commission,
which is now pending before the
house, originated with the presi-
dent, and if this bill, in whole or
part, should be incorporated in the
Indian appropriation bill. he could
not be expected to object.

The GOSpcl Truth,

1t is disgusting to hear persons
speak scorufully of girls who have
to work for a living. No sensible
man is dazzled by the glitter of a
jeweled hand, a gold bracelet or a
watch, bought on "tick" perhaps.
All these have not so much fasci
nation rs a pleasant disposition, a
happy intellectual face, a well
cooked meal and a glistening, we'll
ironed shirt front. A dimpled
chin and q sunny face in the kitch-
en- are worth a dozen fine, millinery
singers in the parlor paving ivory
and screeching "A Flower From
Ny Angel Mothers Grave" when
very likely the poor woman is in
the back yard hanging out clothes.
1t is all right to know how to ap-
pear as 4 cultured, refined and en-
tertaining lady, but to know how
to be a housekeeper. even if the
work has to be superintended only,
is better than superficial airs. s.-Ex.

Passenger Rates in Indian Territory.

Washington, April BOT h e
house committee on Indian affairs
today reconsidered its vote making
a favorable report upon the bill
imposing a maximum rate of 3
cents per mile for passenger
charges in the Indian Territory. 1t
will be remembered that this bill
was passed upon unfavorably by
the comptroller some time ago,
but the report had never been
made to the house, and at the in
stance of the Indian territory
railroads a reconsideration was
obtained.

Agent d. NJ. Wisdom is disburs-
ing money to the Old Settlers OF
the Cherokee nation at FIT Gibson
this week, having began the pay
ment there last Friday. He will
likely pay at Gibson for the next
ten days. The payment necessa-
rily progresses very slowly, as it
is quite complicated and must be
handled carefully. Up to Wednes-
day morning last about $50, 900 had
been paid out, including what had
been paid at Muskogee. The agent
thinks it will take him fully two
months, if not more, to complete
the payment.
This payment is similar in many
respects to the Strip payments of
1894, except that the crowd is not
so large, but the flying jenny plays
the same old familiar tunes that
all those who attended the other
payments are so familiar with,
while other catch penny games
are numerous on the grounds.
There were originally 5000 old
settlers who came to this country
in 1886, and were at that time
known as the Ridge party, and the
present roll is made up of the de-
scendants of these old Cherokees,
only a very few of the original old
settlers being alive. After the
Ridge party came the Ross party,
and very turbulent times followed,
many killings resulting from feuds
between the two factions. At the
breaking out of the late war the
Ross party, or PIN" Indians, re-
mained loyal to the government,
while Stand Waite led the other
faction in fighting on the confeder-
ate side-hence nearly all who
served in the confederate army
participate in this payment.-Ele-
vator.

McRap of Arkansas.

tom" McRae, as he is univer-
sally named, is one of that bright
array of young men who gather
about Judge Culberson as their
chief. He is a sober-sided, hard
working, clear-headed, Scotch Irish
Presbyterian, who acts on both
parts of Oliver CrOmwell's famous
order to his soldiers-"Trust IN
God, but keep your powder dry"
On Sunday McRae is to be found
leading a Sunday school class, but
he keeps his political armory in
shining conditions. His speciality
is the public lends, and he is the
leader in congress, as the Repub-
lie is the leader in journalism, in
a task difficult of accomplishment.
but full of glory-the establish
ment of statehood for Oklahoma,
including the civilized tribes of
Indians. On that question the sell
styled humanitarians of the east
make a man of common sense very
weary. They shed copious tears
over the wrongs of the poor red
man, and hold up their hands in
holy horror whenever any of us
Southwesterners propose to open
up that Garden Of the Gods to

is one thing certain, it was a bad
day for the Cherokees when Mr..
Wallace was allowed to set up his
court and proceed with the work
without the Cherokee nation being
represented. The Cherokees have
always felt that a great injustice
had been done them in the making
OF this roll, for it is a well known
fact that large number of colored
people are enrolled that had no
good claim TO citizenship in this
country, and could not have Justly
been admitted under any single
provision of the treaty of 1866.
But it should not be forgotten that
about one hundred additional
names were added to Mr.. Wallace's S
roll by the interior department
after Wallace had submitted it,
and that there were still others left
off that were, without doubt, enti-
tied TO citizenship. The Wallace
enumeration amounted TO nearly
$500, but what the present one
will be no one would hardly risk a
guess, for withal, ii is an uncanny
subject, and the most conservative
are afraid to even think of the re-
suit. OF course all will admit that
the natural increase of these peo-
pie has been large. for they are,
under favorable circumstances, the
most prolific people of any race or
country. Whatever may be the
result, there is little question but
that the roll now being made will
be final and that those who sue
cee2 in getting their names on this
time need have no doubts of their
citizenship in the future, and their
rights will extend to land and
moneythe property of the tribe.
But there is one consolation alike
to all concerned, and it is a con-
summation long and devoutly
wished--the final settlement of
this matter is near at hand, and
the rights of these people will be
ultimately settled and their num-
Der known.

Fort Smith Court.

The May term of the United
States court opened Monday morn
ing. The Juries were empaneled
and sworn but there was scarcely
anything else done. The docket
is of the usual size, but has only
nine murder cases set for trial.
One of the most important features
of the day was that it was the be-
ginning of Judge Parker's twenty
second year upon the bench. In
his charge to the juries he briefly
reviewed the changes in the condi-
tion in the Indian Territory since
he went on the bench. He said a
Ieign of terror existed there when
he first came twenty-one years ago,
and he feared that it would be en-
acted again when the full jurisdic-
tion was given the territory courts.
He thought congress had made a
mistake and that full jurisdiction
should not be given the Indian
Territory courts until that country
was organized as a state. He was
especially severe upon mob law
and said that it taught disrespect
for the law. In the Indian Terri
tory, though, he had only known
of three cases in two years.
A number of Indian Territory
papers have copied an article from
the Tulsa New Era upon the work
done by the Ft. Smith deputies
that does them a gross injustice.
Ike Rogers had a commission from
Col. Crunp in one inside pocket
and a siXshooter in the other when
he took the fire stick to Cherokee
Bill. Bill Smith was with Marsh
Tilghman in the capture of Bill
Raider, and two of Col. Crump's
deputies were in the party which
had the fl ght with the Cook gang
in which Henry Munson and Lon
Gordon were killed. Bob Rogers
never held n commission as a dep
uty and was killed by a deputy
from this court. He led the dep
uties into the camp OF his gang but
they did not surrender without a
bitter fight, in which two of them
were killed. The list of bad men
captured by FIT. Smith deputies is
too long to mention.
John and George Pierce and
Webber Isaacs were hanged here
last Thursday afternoon. They
walked to the gallows firmly and
calmly but all showed a consider
able degree of nervousness and
that they were laboring under a
great mental strain. They made
no talk on the gallows and simply
requested prayer by the priest.
They made no protestation of in
nocence nor did they acknowledge
their guilt. Webber Isaacs told
the same story that he did before
to his cell mate the night before
the execution.
A. W. Craig and Ed Lunsford,
charged with being accessories to
the murder of Thomas r. Madden,
had their examination Friday.
Craig was held and Lunsford dis
charged.

FREEDMEN ROLL BEING MADE.

The long-looked-for commission
TO take the census of the freedmen
of the Cherokee nation is now en-
gagged in that important work.
This commission will take the au-
thenticated census rolls of 1880
the last rolls of the nation that
have been authenticated by act of
council. as a basis and a new roll
will be made, governed by the
treaties bearing upon the subject.
Six years ago the famous Wallace
roll was made. Wallace was sent
here by the interior department to
take the census of the Cherokee
freedmen. The Cherokees were
not represented in Mr.. Wallace's
court, because the chief refused to
appoint an attorney TO represent
the nation. Council had made no
provision for such appointment,
and Chief Joel B. Mayes did not
care TO assume the responsibility
of appointing an attorney under
such circumstances. The respon-
sibility of the refusal of the chief
to act in this matter has been
placed variously; some have
claimed that the chief was respon-
sible for the Wallace roll, but the
masses have, We believe, laid the
lame on the council. But there

Claimants Uneasy.

Washington, May 2.-There is
great deal of uneasiness among
claimants for Indian attorneys
fees as 10 the action to be taken by
the conference committee in the
Indian appropriation bill. The
house promptly refused to insert
many of these claims and they
were adopted by the senate after a
vigorous debate lasting for several
days. The conference committee
appointed by the senate, however,
is said to be not very friendly to a
number of them, and, combined
with the opposition they will meet
at the hands of the house confer
ees, it is not unlikely that several
OF them may be omitted from the
bill as it finally passes. Particu-
lar opposition is being made to
the attorneys claims growing out
of the old Cherokee Indian settle
ment, and it is stated upon what
seems to be good authority that
lucoc CldllllS Will Uc Ouuilltu from
the bill. A great many Indian
claims are meeting with a very
cool reception at the hands of this
congress. The committee on In
dian affairs has just sent in an ad
verse report upon the bill to pay
TO holders of the Kaw 0r Kansas
Indians scrip the balance due upon
this scrip. The bill is to pay to
certain holders of this scrip which
was issued without authority an
additional l per cent interest on
the scrip from 1862 to the present
time, there having been paid the
principal with 5 per cent interest.
The committee is satisfied that
there was no authority in the be-
ginning to issue the scrip, and that
the parties holding the same have
already been paid more than they
were entitled to.

CatOOsa to the Front Again.

Catoosa again comes to the front
with another killing. On Monday
John Green shot and killed the
wife of his cousin, jeff Green, at
Fox Taylor's ford on the Verdigris
river. AS near as we can learn
the facts it came about in the fol-
lowing manner: John Green was
working in the field when JEFF
Green and wife came out to him
with the avowed purpose of whip
