poor sinner.

before his death. At the last hours. then

bedside and said: Il do not fear death; why

With a smile he continued; DO not weep.

sing Rock of ages. cleft for me; Let me hide
myself in thee" Lastly he bade those stand
ing by goodbye; Lets meet again with
Jesus" Now Jesus. take me home."
This is only sketch of his last words. Yes.
Jesus is ready to receive the vilest person.
Come now and let US reason together saith
the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet
they shall be as white as snow; though they
be red like crimson. they shall be as wool"

of the United States, in case of the
eastern band of the Cherokee In
dians against the Cherokee Ma
ten, decided that the eastern
Cherokees could not, residing and
maintaining their citizenship in
the State of North Carolina, par
ticipate in the common funds of
this nation. But the court there
said: at Indians in that state
North Caroliua) or in any other
state east of the Mississippi wish
to enjoy the benefits OF the com
mon property of the Cherokee ma
ton, in whatever form it may ex-
list, they must, as held by the
court of claims, comply with the
constitution and laws of the Cher
okee nation and be readmi'te to
citizenship AS there provided.
"They cannot live out of The ter
ritory. evade it's obligations and
burdens of citizenship, and at the
same time enjoy the benefits of the
funds and common property of the
nation"
This language would strongly
imply that if these eastern Chero-
KEGS should comply with this re-
guirement, move to this nation,
offer to take upon themselves the
burdens of citizenship, then they
might participate in the common
property.
In the language of the negro
preacher: "Dere's good sputin' on

The quarterly meeting conducted by Rev.

as was hoped on account of so much sick
ness in the neighborhood. However. he de-
livered one of the ablest discourses ever
given in this community.
Nearly every farmer is done threshing
wheat. Independent crews have been in
demand this year, as the women rebelled
against so much cooking this hot weather;
then it was so nice too for the boss" to sit
in the shade and watch someone else toss
the bundles.
Mr.. Rodman, our blacksmith. is very
sick of typhoid fever. and Leonard Beck is
just recovering from brain fever. Riley
lIildebrand and wife were very sick of mala-
years died very suddenly with brain fever
while her parents were down with fever.

cheerful disposition. She leaves a husband

were with her when she died and she was
taken to that city for burial.
Some very ill mannerly boys. or young
men rather. went into the orchard and pulled
the half ripe fruit on some fine budded peach
trees at Grandma Beck's last sunday morn

in but one of them remarked afterward that
he went after peaches and he wouldn't be
scared back. Their names will be kindly
furnished if any one desires their acquain-
tance.

gret AT his demise.

LAST week ]. ]. McAlester is
sued an address to the citizens OF
the five tribes that is in itself the
most unique document of its kind
yet issued. Those who know Jim
McAlester say that he makes no
pretentions to being a humorist,
and that he means every word he
says. The man has simply been
a martyr, sacrificing himself will
ingly upon the alter of unselfsh
personal interest for his innate
love of the Choctaws. Since the
days of David and Jonathan the
world has seen nothing like Jim
McAlester's martyrdom. Hear
him: my fellow countrymen:
Having in early life left the coun-
try of my birth and the people of
my childhood days, and having
come to your country and married
one OF your daughters, thereby
becoming from choice a citizen of
your nation, under the sanction of
the laws of your government, iden-
tifying myself with your people,
making my interests your inter-
ests." But the most remarkable
utterance is yet TO come. 1.-The
coal interest is a constitutionally
vested right in and to the citizen
who develops the mine giving him
the right to work and acquire spe-
cial benefits for developing the
same and is superior to all others
for the further reason that he paws
for it in the way of royalties. g"
Mr.. McAlesier is great miner, so
you see how he is going to claim
vested rights in the property that
he has been monopolizing all these
years. Now listen what be says
about farms: "The farm interests
are also vested rights and cannot
be legislatsd away by acts of
council" The Choctaws hold
their country under the land-in-
common system, and Mr.. McAles-
ter knows perfectly well that the
individual citizen could not ac-
quire vested rights. How could
the Choctaws divide their country
per capita if Mr.. McAlester and
other monopolists can hold all
they have in possession?

THE international council was,
as usual, dissatisfied with the press
and declares against "the vile mis-
representations to the world
against US by the newspapers. :"
THE CHIEFTAIN has repeatedly
called attention TO the misrepre-
sentations of some of the papers
and appreciates the situation fully.
But as pointed out before, it is not
necessary to start any new papers,
or even to get up any new'matter"
on the subject. A reprint of The
CHIEFTAIN for the last few years
gives the situation exactly as it
has and does exist, and in such a
manner that no one has endeav-
ored to controvert its statements.

There is little transpiring at the
rooms of the Dawes commits
sion this week. General Arm
strong has been called to Sulphur
Springs, Va, by the dangerous ILL.,
ness of his wife and may not return
for some time. Thus far sixty
claims have been filed. When
presented they are examined to see
that they contain evidence that a
duplicate has been served upon the
chief-registry receipt or an affida-
Wit being required-and are then
briefed up and filed. A great many
stories are afloat as to what is re-
quired and what difficulties beset
claimants. They have only to fol-
low the rules laid down in the off,
cial circular, published some weeks
ago in The CHIEFTAIN, and their
claims will receive thorough atten-
ton. About September 10th the
commission will hear oral argu-
ment, upon both sides, as to what
constitutes a valid claim to citizen
ship. Until after that no general
rule will be laid down, as to do so
at this time would be unfair and to
the prejudice of the cause OF one
side or the other Without wish
ing to play into the hands of the
claim attorneys, it is but fair to
state that it is the judgment of
those best informed that the servi-
ces of an attorney are almost indis-
pensable, or at least that it is not
prudent for claimants without ex-
perience to attempt to conduct
their own cases. OF course, there
is nothing to prevent their doing
80 if they desire.

An effort will probably be made
to enjoin or restrain the Dawes
commission from its present con-
templated action in the matter OF
citizenship and other investigations
along the line of its duties under
the law. Hon. John H. Rogers of
Fit. Smith, has been retained by
the Cherokee nation for this pur-
pose and he is here now.

Speaking of claimants brings us
TO the many phases of citizenship.
One can hear rumors as to how the
rolls are to be purged, on every
side. The North Carolina and
Georgia contingent are frightened
within an inch of their lives lest
their names are left off and they
be forced to make another fight
for citizenship. These people are
represented by the most influen-
tial lobbyists around the capital

One of the most interesting look
ing delegates to the international
council which convened in Eutau-
la this week was Nakedhead, one
of the Cherokees. He is of pure
Cherokee blood; has clear, reddish
brown skin, a high classic fore
head, thin straight nose and close
cropped thick white hair. He is
a big man and his appearance is
striking and dignified. He looks
to be about 80 years of age though
his whiskerless face is unwrinkled.
Nakedhead speaks no language
but Cherokee, but looks as though
he could speak that eloquently.-

the sight of Mrs. Proctor might relieve
him af his insanity, and she was sent for

mind became unbalanced it is said that a
very strong feeling is being generated
against her; especially is this the case
among railroad men. The writer does
