INDIANS PROTEST. .


South McAlester, /. T., Dec.
19.-At a largely attended meet
ing of citizens of this city held
this afternoon a committee COM
posed of w. II. Hathaway, s..
A. Wilkerson, j. G.. Harley, G..
w. Ware and b. F. Jobe was
appointed to draft resolutions
expressive of the sense of the
meeting upon the treaty or
agreements recently entered in
to between the Dawes commits
sion and representatives of the
Choctaw nation. The commit
tee reported the following pre-
amble and resolutions:
Whereas, n treaty or agree
ment was on the 18th day of
December, 1896, concluded be-
tween the Dawes commission
and the commission of the
Choctaw tribe of Indians, and,
Whereas, such treaty or
agreement is unjust, unfair and
oppressive both to the Indians
and non-citizens, and especially
to those owning homes and i'm
provements within the towns
located in the Choctaw nation,
therefore be it
Resolved by the people of
South McAlester in mass meets
ing assembled, that we do here
by enter our solemn protest
against this treaty oragreement
because the tOwnsite PROPOSE
ton in said agreement or treaty
will operate as a practical con-
fiscation of the improvements
made and held by the people in
such towns. The agreement or
treaty provides that the lots
held be appraised at their pres
ent value. This would entail
upon the people owning homes
or property in said towns the
burden of paying twice for their
property and in every case a
larger sum than is Just and
equitable.
We hold that the Indians
ought to receive full and fair
compensation for the lots so oc-
cupied by the people living in
the towns. We hold that the
valuation of these lots shall be
determined without reference to
the value which has been added
to them bv the enterprise and
industry of the people who have
built up and maintained these
towns and we confidently rely
upon the wisdom and justice of
congress to prevent this great
wrong from being perpetrated.
We favor any fair and just
method and we appeal to all
good people who have an In
terest in the prosperity and de-
velopment of this territory to
aid us in bringing this matter

Mayor Jones Is For Cuba.


Mayor Jones received a tele-
gram from the New York Jour
nal last evening. asking his
opinion of the Senate committee
ordering a favorable report on
Cameron's resolution recogniz-
ing the independence of the
republic of Cuba, and how the
United States should endeavor
to bring the war in Cuba to a
close. This was his reply:
''Iu its favorable report on
the Cameron resolution, the
Senate committee demonstrated
the humanity, love of liberty
and patriotism of its members.
| earnestly trust that the SEN
ate will adopt the resolution
unanimously, and thus set the
patriotic pace for our country.
To protect American citizens in
Cuba and speedily terminate
the war, the United States
should either send an army of
occupation, establish a protec-
torate, or employ any and all
other measures known to the
laws of nations to end at once
and forever the fearful butch
cries being there committed .

4 Pleasant Surprise.

Last Wednesday evening, after the
Rebekah Lodge, Mrs. A. Pope WAS very
agreeably surprised when it was an
nounced that the Rebekahs and invited
guests were assembled to wish her God
speed while on her visit East.
The Sisters having heard OF Mrs.
Pope,s intention of going on six months
or a year visit, thought it would be no
more then right to wish her a pleasant
journey, for we know not what time may
bring.
A few kind remarks were made by
Brother Bellam, whom the Sisters SC
often depend upon to be the speech
maker. The Brother is ever joyial and
witty, which makes the Sisters wonder
how they ever got along without him.
Sister Pope responded by thanking
the Rebekahs for their thoughtfulness.
Dancing and card playing were in
dulged in until = late hour, when the
tables were spread for fourty-fve
persons.
After the repast all took leave of the
Sister wishing her u safe journey and 8
pleasant time during her stay.
The Sister left on Friday morning.

The attendance ut the school meeting
held at the library Thursday night was
good. The Chairman of the School
Board, j. w. O'Brien, called the meet
ing to order and Hon. W. IL. A. Pike
was elected as chairman aud +. l..
Voorhees, rs secretary. Mr.. 0'Brien
then presented the following statement !:
Income of this district averages from
~ $500 to $4,000 per year. The salaries
amounted to 81, 300 and the rest went
for current expenses of many kinds.
Generally there is a small balance left
at the end OF the school year. For in
stance last year it was about 800. This
year, however, owing to decreased APP
preparations, there will be no surplus.
The district compares in this respect
very favorable with the others through
the State.
After some discussion the following
were nominated for candidates for

Druneau VALLEY.

Artesian wells are proving a great sue
cess in Brunei valley, says the DeLamar
Idaho Nugget. Since the first n was
bored ON the ''second bench on the east
side of the valley, Mr.. Newt Robinson
has bored one on the west side, and at
a depth OF 300 feet struck a stream of hot
water which blows out So feet above to
top of the tubing. With supplies OF
water like this use for irrigation, in adj
dition to the bitches which cover nearly
all the tiilable land in the valley, that
happy section is destined at some future
day to become one of the noted places
on the continent for fruit growing and
the location of beautiful homes. The
valley is fifteen miles long aud from two
to three miles wide and through the
centre flows the beautiful Bruneau river.
The valley is surrounded by high bluffs
and it's climate is SO mild that but few
places far north can compare with it.
The head OF the valley contains several
hot springs, whose properties are just
beginning to be appreciated by invalids
as their curative value is being tested.
The grandeur of the canyon above this
valley is only surpassed by the great
Colorado canyon. The Bruneau river
for seventy miles runs between pre-
cipitous walls OF basalt, reaching to u
height of more than three Thousand feet
supplying d scenery which for snblimity
and picturesqueness is rarely equaled,

IT consider strikes a failure" said
Eugene v. Debs the other day. THAT
is, l consider them q failure under ex-
listing conditions. A strike in these
days is almost lost as o as the en-
durance Of mans stomach. On the one
side you have the man or men who can
eat three meals "a day for an indefinite
time. He ran afford CLOSE a little trade
that he may retain his bold upon the
man who labors. But with the mar
who works for wages it 500 becomes

An actual "strike OF SEX has lately
taken place among the women OF the
Akona tribe in Western Africa. Accord.
ing to the Women's Herald, they pro-
tested against the treatment to which
their fathers, husbands and brothers
subjected them. Remonstrance being OF
no avail, rthey tried a strong measure.
A neighboring tribe with whom the
Akonos were not on good terms was ap-
pealed to. and it was agreed to take in
all the dissatisfied women. A village
awoke one morning to find all its women
and girls had gone, and work of almost
every kind at q standstill. Messengers
were sent after the women with instruc-
tons to grant their demands in full.
Our Washington Correspondent says {:
There is much uneasiness among the
more conservative men in Congress, re-
gardless Of party, because of the APP
parent certainty that Gov. Mckinley
will be nominated for President by the
Republicans. The older members OF,
Congress have not forgotten the scandals
which floatsd around Washington when
this Mckinley tariff bill was being pre-
pared by the House, Ways and Means
COMMITTEES. OF which Gov. Mckinley
was then chairman. 1t was charged
that that a clique OF wealthy manu-
~facturers absolutely controlled the max
ing of such portions OF that bill as they
were directly interested in, which re-
suited in making the duties on many
articles ourayeonsly high-much higher
than was needed for legitimate protec-
tion-and finally resulted as everybody
knows in the defeat OF the Republicans
aud the repeal Of the Mckinley law.
These men fear that Gov. Gov. Mckinley
is still under the domination of those
greedy manufacturers, who care for
nothing but their own profit. II Me-
kinley doesn's get that nom nation, it
will be largely because of this conserva-
tive element working quietly against
him.
