CYCLONE IN ALABAMA.

Selma, Ala, Aug. 6.-News
was received here today from
Augustine, Perry county, four
teen miles from IA telegraph
station, that a terrible aud
most destructive cyclone swept
over that place on Thursday
last, leveling everything in its
path.
Twelve negroes and three
white people were killed by
houses falling i'll on them and
ten other persons were more or
less injured. Twenty-four head
of horses and mules We're crush

The cyclone was followed by
the heaviest rain that has fallen
in that section in fifteen years.
Creeks and branches were con-
verted into raging torrents,
sweeping away cotton, corn and
other crops, causing heavy loss
to planters.

Al She Had Len.

She looked the picture of despair
as she entered the pawnshop. Her
face was thin and very pale, the
clothing she wore shabby but care
fully brushed; her large, expressive
blue eyes were sunk deep in her
head, and in her arms, wrapped in n
tattered old shawl, she carried ba-
by less than a year old.
No, the clerk could not let her
have So on the plain gold ring she
pulled from her finger.
Bursting into tears, she said: "Oh,
good God, what shall do? / must
have $5 for the rent, OF baby and /
will be thrown on the street.
With look of misery she sudden
ly took from the baby's neck a very
thin gold chain, to which a small
locket was attached. Having Sc
cured the required amount on the
last things she had to pawn, the
woman, all the while sobbing and
weeping, tenderly folded the shawl
around the baby and disappeared in
the throng of pedestrians. The ring
bore the simple inscription, John
to Mary, 1895, and the locket con-
tanned a tintype of the baby.
That was all.-St Louis Post. Dis

the Importance of using every

be, are perfectly legitimate, let

Creek Council.

South McAlester, /. T., Aug.
15.-The Creek council has adj
journed after doing a fair weeks
work. A committee of confer
ence to meet the Dawes commit
tee and find out what t desires
was elected and directed to re-
port at the October session.
The committee consists of
William A. Sapulpa, COncharty
Micco, Rolin Brown, Hotulke
Emartha and John Reed, all of
whom are full bloods. An
amendment to the citizenship
law was made authorizing the
present commission on citizen
ship to enroll all newborn that
have been born since September
a, 1895, and prepare a list of
the deaths since that date and
erase the latter from the rolls,
and as the commission must
complete its work by September
so it is directed to make a cor
rect copy of the several rolls as
added by the newborn and
erased from by death and ehgi-
bility and submit to the council
for approval. The attorneys
were elected to prepare rebuttal
evidence upon the applications
for citizenship before the Dawes
commission, and also authorized
the employment, with the ap-
proval of the chief, of an attor-
ney to argue the appeals be-
fore the United States supreme
court. The attorneys elected
were y. p. McKellop and VIM.
McComls.
Fifteen hundred dollars was
appropriated to repair the capi-
tol building. In all the appro-
priations amount to $S151 %.
Three members of the lower
house to take the place of dead
members since last December,
presented credentials.
The delegates to Washington
presented the reports by re-
quest of the council.
The citizenship commission is
still at work and will continue
in session until Sept. 80.
At the adjournment of the
council +. ID. Childers made a
stirring address on the finances
OF the country and took a stand
in favor of statehood and allot-
mant.

The Creek council has ap-
pointed a committee to confer
with the Dawes Commission in
regard to allotment. President
A. J. Watts of the Cherokee
citizenship association has be-
gun the revision of the Chero-
kee rolls. Ex-Delegate Childers
of the Creek nation Is out in a
speech for statehood. The
Choctaws and Chickasaws in
their national elections held
this month have chosen allOt-
ment candidates for office from
governor down as against pull
backs" the non progressive,
and prominent congressman
from neighboring states have
expressed a determination to
introduce a bill into congress
before the holidays for a terri
torial delegate to represent the
10000 white people of the terri
tory. All these facts may mean
nothing, but to one closely in
terested and reasoning from
cause to effect it is apparent
that the end of present condi-
tions is at hand and a general
breaking up of tribal govern
ments will soon come. With
the land tenures changed so
that capital could secure a safe
investment the Indian Territory
will enter on an era of prosper
lty unequaled In its history.

HOME JURISDICTION.

On the first of September the
Fort Smith and Paris courts
lose their jurisdiction over
crimes charged in the Indian
Territory. A greater injustice
has never been practiced on
civilized, helpless people than
in giving these alien courts
jurisdiction over us for these
many years, and the fact that
this injustice has been done us
so long Is a monument to the
ignorance of the law makers OF
the land regarding this country
and people. Congress with IA
true understanding of the con-
ditiOns here and the hardships
and the injustice that it was
imposing, would have abolished
that jurisdiction and conferred
it on the home courts some
years ago. The change of juriS-
diction is hailed with delight
| for two reasons, because it is
justice and convenience to the
people of the territory and be-
cause it gives evidence that the
true light on territory problems
and conditions is dawning on
congress. This is one step in
the right direction. Now we
need another step-that the Of
ficers of the courts in the terri
tory shall be nominated by the
people of the territory and our
express wishes regarded by the
administration. Everything
from judge down to constable
should be selected from the
community they are to serve,
where they have cast their lots
and feel all the interest of
established citizenship. On the
first of September several towns
will celebrate our deliverance
from judicial bondage to alien
courts. The most prominent
among these celebrations will
be at Purcell on the 31st of
August and the first of Septem-
ber. We suggest to the man
ayers of the celebrations at
Purcell and elsewhere that on
the occasion of these celebra-
hOns some systematic plan be
attempted to aid in securing to
the Indian Territory the right
to name the officers who are to
serve over us. Nominating con-
ventiOns of the organized politi-
cal parties would be a fair and
acceptable manner of electing
officers, and the administration
should consider them as bind
ing III making up the appoint
ments, unless the fitness of
se nominated candidate
S9sTad be impeached.-HOlden-

south Araoan Diamonds.

In 1867 the first diamond ever
found in South Africa was picked
up by hunter out of a heap of
shining river pebbles. This was near
the banks of the Orange river
little above its confluence with the
Vaal river. Then a diligent search
for diamonds began in all the sur
rounding districts. In 1870 dia-
monds were discovered in consider
able quantities near where the town
of Kimberley now stands A rush
of miners soon filed the neishbor-
hood, and from that time onward
Kimberley has been the center of
the diamond getting industry,

tered here and there TO the west and

THE HIDE MARKET.


III HAS fallen On Very ieaViiy OF h~'o'
Few people in this vicinity are aware
that the hide market Of this locality
is rapidly dwindling down to one-third
the trade OF five years ago.
A Register reporter had an inter-
view with a hide merchant yesterday
who, in the course OF his remarks, said:
Very few hides are being bought in
this vicinity of late, owing TO the little
slaughtering that is being done by our
local butchers. In the past five years
branch houses of the Swift Beef Com
pany, of Chicago, and Cleveland Pro-
vision Company, of Cleveland, and the
local wholesalers, F. Schenk & Sons.
Home Dressed Beef Company and Fred
Weimer & Sons, have been successful
in selling the local butchers their fresh
meats almos' as cheap as they were
able to slaughter
Previous to the establishing Of these
wholesale beef houses the hide mer-
chants and tanneries of this vicinity
were able TO buy I'D five hundred sheep
skins weekly, which has dwindled
down to two hundred at present.
Three hundred beef hides we're to be
had, but now only one hundred and fifty
can be purchased weekly.
All the hides gathered in Wheeling,
Steubenvile. Fulton, Bellaire. Martin
Ferry. Bridgeport and Wellsburg could
not supply the local tanneries. which
has been clearly demonstrated by the
fact that John G. Hoffman, & Sons,
who are heavy buyers. are going to the
Western markets for their hides.
The small sprinkling of hides in the
local market keep the smaller tanneries
in this locality in operation.
The sale of fresh meats by the for
eign wholesalers has decreased the
slaughtering in the East wonderfully.
