oherokees Protest and Leave.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The dele
gates of the Cherokee Indian Ma.
ton, who are now here, have left
with the president and Secretary
Smith memorial protesting
against the conclusion of DAVIS
commission. In this protest the del.
egation says "that the commission
judge sus from afar, without hear
ing, and has condemned US out of
the mouth Of our enemies. They
attempted to induce Cherokee peo-
pie to make certain changes look
ing to ultimate statehood, using
as an inducement and argument
the final and complete removal of
intruders from our country. We
hold our lands and money in COM
mon, and in the light OF past eXpe-
rience it would be criminal on our
part to enter into further negotia-
tion until we are prepared to def
nitely determine for ourselves the
heirs to our estate and be placed
in full possession. Otherwise end
less litigation would be the result
and the outcome easily foretold.
The full-blooded Cherokees as a
class would be reduced to destitu-
tion and beggary. No action on
the part Of Cherokees can be rea-
sonably anticipated until this
vexed question is first settled. Mr..
President, your official acts and
public utterances in behalf of weak
and defenseless nations inspire
my people with confidence that
you will see they are honorably
dealt with and their treaty pro-

him in cold water; they mobbed him.
His long hair and beard they shaved
half off. Then they hustled him aboard
a train for Jersey City, threatening
him with even worse treatment should
he return to preach what they called
"detestable doctrines"
But the mob reckoned without their
host. The modern Christ" did re-
turn. His was courage capable of
coping with any foe. He was welcomed
to the home of one of his most sturdy
converts, Garrett Storms. 1t was not
long before many crowded to his stand
ard. But persecution broke out afresh.
All the county formed itself into Wig
lance committee to inquire into the
practices of the Lords People"
One Sunday morning q watchful
neighbor, who presumably staid home
from church to watch, discovered four
of the Lords People" openly and
shamelessly husking corn, and swore
out warrants for their arrest as Sab
bath-breakers. The so-called Christ and
his followers really husked corn on
Sunday and refused to pay their fines,
accepting three days Imprisonment
without murmur of resistance as per-
secution for conscience sake, declaring
that the laws of God were more holy in
their eyes than the laws of New Jersey.
All are men of education, of broad
ideas and evident refinement. They till
the soil of the Lords Farm" claim
ing personal revelations from God, and
have an abiding faith that their re-
ward will come because of works well

THIS MAN SEES VISIONS.
Therefor His Followers Call Him
the Modern Christ"
Underclif, n. j., Has Messiah in the Per-
son of Munson t. Huntsman-He
and His Disciples Are Tiliing
n Small Farm.

At Undercliff, N. j., there have come
new tenants for a bit of farm land
whose presence is bound to give world
wide publicity to the place. They are
none other than the Lords People,"
led by Mnason T. Huntsman, an avowed
"Son of God," or better known to the
country folk as "The Modern Christ"
He is a man of striking personality,
with long hair and flowing whiskers,
who could not fail to attract attention
wherever he might go. His powers of
eloquence, his visions and revelations
have caused his band of faithful follow
ers to look upon him as veritable sec
ond Messiah.
The community has known this "Mod-
ern Christ" for some time, but it was
not until lately that he began to make
felt his remarkable powers. He is of the
Methodist faith. Nothing daunts him or
makes him afraid. When he first be-
gan to see visions" he produced per-
feet turmoil in the social life of the sur
rounding villages. These visions"
greatly disturbed the young men of the
district, as they chiefly related to the
personal imperfections and vices, large
and small, of those of them who had
ostensibly renowned the devil and his
works." So correct were the preachers
visions" that a reform movement re-
sembling the Parkhurst crusade was
soon under way. Much opposition was
aroused against the reformer, who
worked against the pipe and the demi-
john with unceasing valor, and declared
also against the purple and fine linen
and small besetting vanities of the
women.
Just as the Savior of Men suffered I'M
told indignities at the hands of the pop
ulace centuries ago, so did the idol of
the faithful of the Lords Farm" They
dispersed his meetings. They doused

der His NOSE.
John j. Quinn, manager OF
Pugilist Peter Maher, must feel
very confident of Peters success,
from the fact that he did not give
exhibitions on his way to New
Orleans. Even Billy Sheehan, who
is conceded reliable prognostica-
tor of pugilist C events, aud who
foretells that the lad OF Erin's
Isle will be the winner within six
rounds, says that Fitz may lick
him, and Peters future, like Steve
O'Donnell's, would then be shat
tered.
"Peter Maher should have given
exhibitions along the line on his
way to FL Paso," said Sheehan.
"Coming by way OF New Orleans
an exhibition there would have
meant at least 81, 200 for Pete. Then
there is Galveston, Houston, San
Antonio, and going up to Austin,
Fort Worth, Dallas, and then to
Ell Paso. He would have made
about $500 in each of these cities
on an average, because he was
never down this way before, and
the people would have fiocked to
see him. He could have made at
least 5000 on his way to Ell Paso
that would be a clear pickup, win
or lose the fight. Now he's got to
win, or people will not go across
the street to see him. Quinn
seems to be new in the business.

he is the best man in the world

At Veno's consulting parlors are
the scenes of miracles in Menger
Hotel. Last night Mr.. Henry Gus
ties, aged SO years, who has been
paralyzed for the past fifteen years
and notable to stand or walk a
step in that time, was carried in
to Veno's office by the respective
gentlemen, as above mentioned.
Mr.. Custes stated to Veno he was
helpless within himself and hope
lessly given up by all physicians
whom he ever consulted. In 20
minutes time he was given the
power and strength to arise from
his seat unassisted and walked
down and out of the hotel to his
carriage, where he had been carried
from only 20 minutes before, both
to the wonderment and edification
of many people, who were sitting
outside the consulting room. Never
before in the history of San Anto-
MO has any physician obtained so
sudden and remarkable results as
in this case of Mr.. Custes and by
the continued use of Veno's Cura-
tive Syrup and Electric Fluid Mr..
Custes will undoubtedly be perma-
pently cured. Other prominent
men speak. Col. Pat. Fields, whose
eyes have been afflicted for many
years and has been treated by many
physicians, after applying Veno's
medicines three times, can see
better than he could for years. Mr..
Clark Ramsey, of No. 305 Burleson
street, Of this city, who has been
constant sufferer from catarrh for
over ten years, he too, had tried
all kinds of medicines and en-
ployed several physicians to cure
him, but all failed, until he APP
piled to Veno, who prescribed for
him, and now he is numbered
among the many well people of San
Antonio.S Scores of others have given
these teitimonials to Veno, many
are astonishing. Veno will remain
until January IA, which will posi-
lively be his last day in San An
tonic. All afflicted and disabled
SuOulu call lOI SAdlllludClOu dU
once, which will be given free of
charge from 9 a. IN. to s p. m. daily.
By calling on or addressing Mr.. r.
ID. Jones, teacher of room No. 3,
San Pedro school, the particulars
in the above case can be obtained.

The estate of Franklin" was born ITO
years ago, but died after a life of two
and half years. The residents of what
Is now east Tennessee, but which formed

western boundary was the Mississippi,
were told by the North Carolina legis-
lature that they could be independent
IL they wanted 10. Almost impossible
mountains separated them from the re-
gions to the east, and they fancied that
the people living there were regardless
of their interest. So they formed gov
eminent for themselves and named their
state after Ben Franklin. Then they APP
piled to the congress of the confedera-
ton for recognition, but it was slow to
act, and North Carolina took back its
consent to the separation and sup
pressed the state of Franklin by force

The Cry of Falling Prices.

The last issue of the Review gave space
OH It's first page to an explanation of the
silver question, taken from Chas. Y.
Wells in the Northwestern Lulnberman,
in which they put forth the republican,
argument; that the present condition OF
falling prices and cheap products is a
great national blessing. The writer
presents only one view OF The case; and
If it were accepted without further ex-
PLANTATION, it might look plausible
enough, but let us investigate a little.
We admit ut once that All attempt to
put all OF the comforts aud luxuries of
life within the reach of man is a laudable
undertaking; but TO make one set of
things dear and another set Of things
cheap by operation of law is to place
society into two classesland is to organ
ize class legislation.
If the people who are to buy SO cheap
~ aud enjoy this great national blessing
are unable to obtain the dollars to buy
anything with, how are th-y going to
be benefited by the reduction OF prices
When produce is so cheap that the farm

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
o,KEEFE FOR CONGRESS.

The Democratic Convention tor
the Ninth Congressional district
is called to meet at Ashland on
the 9th inst.
In order to elect Democratic
Congressman from this district,
good, clean, able man, who is
in sympathy with labor and close
to the toiling masses, must be
nominated on the 9th inst.
Should such a man be nominal
ed, Congressman Stewart, IN
spite of his barrel and influential
friends, will be relegated to PR
vate life.
A man with these qualiflca-
tons has announced himself as a
candidate for the nomination, on
the Democratic ticket, in the per-
son of w. w. O'Keefe, ex-mayor
of Ashland; a lawyer of state
repute, and an announced tree
silver advocate. Mr.. O'keete
has many friends in this locality
who will only be too glad to re-
ciprocate at the poles next No
vember for the bold and unflinch-
ing stand he took in the labor
difficulties in this locality some
five years ago.
In all differences in which labor
was involved he has unhesitat-
ingly advocated the laborers
cause. Such man we hope to
see pitted against Stewart and
his barrel, believing that labor
will win against capital.

Minnesota's Greatest Exposition.

Those desiring TO visit any portion OF
the interesting and comparatively new
state OF Minnesota will have an excep-
tionnlly favorable opportunity for graft
tying the wish during the week ending
Saturday, Sept 5. Atthis time the Ma
tiomal Encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic will be held in St. Paul;
the encampment OF the Knights OF
Pythias will be in session in Minneapolis,
and upon the grounds of the Agricultur-
al Society, midway between these cities,
the great Minnesota State Fair will pro
vide entertainment for all. For these
important events, very low passenger
rate, available for every one, have been
announced upon all the railways of the
country. While the tickets will be on
sale but two or three days, the return
portion of the tickets will be good for
a month, So that no one need hurry III
making the trip.
In anticipation OF an unusually large

the Dakotas, Montana, idaho. 5Orego,

making it possible for visitors to see and
learn as much or more of the resources
Of the Northwest in day az during an
extended trip from the Mississippi river

after the Fair, excursion trains will be
run at low rates into the Agricultural.

Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1896-08-10

We take the following from
the Ashland News and is an edi-
torial from the London Finan-
eial News. It was written for
English readers and it presents
one of the best arguments ever
made in favor Of indepeneut BIZ
metalism in the United States:
There is a plain moralin Their
mark that if the United States
would venture to cut herself
adrift from Europe and take out
right to silver she would have
allAmerica and Asia at her back
and the command ofthe markets
of both countries. The barrier
of gold would be more fatal than
any barrier of a custom house.
The bond of silver would be
stronger than any bond Of free
trade. There can be no doubt
about it that if the United States
were to adopt silver basis to-
morrow British trade would
be ruined before the year was
out. Every American would be
protected, not only at home, but
in every other market. Of course
the United States would suffer
to certain extent through hav-
ing opay her obligations abroad
in gold, but the loss of exchange
under this head would be a mere
drop in the bucket as compared
to the profit to be reaped from
the markets of South America
and Asia, to say nothing of Eu-
rope. The marvel is that the
United States have not long ago
seized the opportunity. 1t has
been a piece of luck that it has
never occurred to the Americans
to scoop us out Of the worlds
markets by going on a silver
basis, and it might serve us right
if, irritated by the contemplate
apathy of our government to-
ward the silver problem, the
Americans retaliate by freezing
out gold. It could be easily
done"
