purchased it, and it is to be exhibited

be thought to be a drawing card, and

probably find crowds to come and

Fifty Years Old.

The observance Of the iftieth ami
versary of the Patriotic Order Sons
of America, which occurs on Decem-
Der 10th, will be general throughout
the jurisdiction of the organization.
Almost every n Of the six hundred
and sixty camps in this state are
making extensive preparations to
celebrate in an elaborate and appro-
pirate manner. In the larger towns
and cities, having a number of camps,
arrangements are being made to hold
a joint celebration on an extensive
scale.
There are three camps Of the order
located in Shenandoah, and at least
n or two Of them will ]appropri-
ately celebrate this important event.
1t might not be out of place to sug-
gest the joint celebration in the
nature Of a public meeting. 1t
would be both entertaining and in
struetive to the members as well as
to those notidentifed with the organ
ization.
The order has certainly had a his
tory OF fifty years of glorious achieve
ment, and practical work well rem
dered and duty religiously per
formed. 1t points with pardonabl
pride to the proud record it estab-
Iished for1tself during the war Of the
rebellion. Among those who com
prised the first five companies of
volunteers to reach Washington were
many members OF the order, and the
enlistment continued until almost the
entire membership of the order in
the entire country were at the front
fighting for the preservation Of the
Union, aud many hundreds gave
their lives a willing sacrifice upon the
altar Of their country to saw it from
hat : divided.
a4eneral was the enlistment that
le OF all the many camps then
q 60, maintained its organization.

sRISTLES FOR sRUSH-MAKING.

Are Suitable for the Purpose.
To a very limited extent the bristles
from the American hog are utilized in
the manufacture of brushes, yet most
of this product of the swine is insult
able and must go to other uses. Be-
cause American pork is superior, Amer
lean bristles are inferior. Improving
the quality of pork diminishes the quail
ity of good bristles and slaughtering
the hog while young prevents long,
heavy bristles from being produced in
this country. The quality of the do
mestic bristles is not so well adapted
for general purposes as those from Rus
sia and China. and this accounts for the
fact that every year million pounds
and upward of foreign bristles are inn
ported, worth that many dollars.
The bristles obtained from American
hogs are used only i'm cheap, poor
brushes. The great bristle market of
the world is st. Petersburg, and Russia
is the largest bristle-producing coun-
try. Leipsic is second in Importance
as a bristle market, although many of
the bristles sold there are actually pro-
duced in Russia, and are made ready for
sale in Germany. From Russia and Ger
many the brush manufacturer obtains
all of his supply of long, heavy bristles
in the different colors-white, bronze,
gray and black. France produces in
quantity next to Germany, but only
white and yellow colors, and those kinds
only in short and medium lengths.

lem in the labor question, and in
the matter of morals it is too i'm
portant to be overlooked. In the
first place there is something
wrong and morally unsound about
the family, or the man, or the bus
institution, that habitually, and
knowingly, and purposely desc
crates and violates the Lords day.
There is "screw loose" some
where in the business that must be
run on Sunday, that will, if per-
sisted in, bring disaster and ruin
to the owner who so fondly covets
more time than the laws of God or
man will give him. Just keep
your eye on the people that respect
not the sabbath and sooner or later
you will see moral, financial and
physical wrecks. There is nothing
superstitious about this statement,
but on the contrary it is a scien-
tific and also a scriptural fact be-
ing demonstrated constantly.

IT is said Captain A. S. McKen-
non, of the Dawes commission,
has sent in his resignation at the
solicitation of the secretary of the
interior, and that his successor
will soon be appointed. There
was a time when this announce
ment would have caused universal
sorrow among tie Cherokees, as
McKennon has stood for all that
was good in the Dawes commission
and was the only man on the COM
mission who the common people
could approach. But there has
been a great change of sentiment
among the Indian citizens toward
him. The commission has failed
signally of the accomplishment of
the object for which it was created
and sent to the Indian country; but
perhaps no other commission
would have done else. Ofthe sew
en- propositions submitted last year,
every one Of them was a PROPOSE
tion to ignore some solemn treaty
stipulation. 1t was certainly a
novel position for the Indian to
be placed in, the emissaries OF
the government asking him to vio-
late his own treaties. McKennon
recognized the necessity Of a
change in tribal affairs in this ter
ritory, as indeed does every think
ing man, be he Indian citizen or
white man, and the first years ol
his labors here were along right
lines. But since last winter his
conduct has not been above sus-
picion, and the work of the whole
commission has been mysterious
and dilatory. The failure of a
man like McKennon to perform
satisfactory service is probably tC
be taken to mean that no man
could succeed, and that the CON-
mission might as well be with,
drawn entirely.

FOR ONE TIME AT SEA.
Scheme of Unifcntion which Is Be
ing Considered by Scientists.

Scheme of Unification Which Is Be-
ing Considered by Scientists.
A scheme for what is called ''the uni
fication of time at sea" emanates from
the Royal Society of Canada, the AS
Economical and Physical Society of To-
ironto and the Canadian institute, which,
for the good of navigation and COM
merce generally. have invited chambers
of commerce and scientific societies in
this country to cooperate with them IN
bringing about a change for which
there Is much to be said. The council
of the Royal Colonial institute has
taken the matter up and has sent me-
mortal to Lord Salisbury, urging the
government to take the necessary meas
ures, and Mr.. Sandford Fleming, an ex-
president of the Canadian Royal society
has written a letter to the Times, in
which he states the case somewhat as
follows: At present there are, nom
inally, three differnt reckonings OF
time at sea, civil, nautical and astronom
ical. The civil day is measured from
midnight to midnight, the nautical day
and the astronomical day from noon tc
the former. For instance, to-day is JAN
uary II by civil reckoning, and noon is
midday, but by nautical reckoning JAN
uary II began at noon yesterday and
ends at noon to-day, while by astronom-
ical reckoning January Il does not be-
gin until noon to-day and ends at noon
tomorrow. speaking in terms OF civil
rnQl
time reckoning has fallen into disuse,
and it only remains TO reconcile civil
and astronomical time by putting on
the astronomers clock (assuming IL to
have 24-hours' diaI 12 hours. The two
interests chiefly involved are, of course,
the nautical and astronomical. The
Canadian reformers say that-Out of 500
representative masters of British and
foreign steamers and sailing ships can
vassed 81 per cent. have declared them
selves in favor of the change. A large
majority of the astronomers, so far as
it has been possible to obtain an ex-
preston of their views, are willing that
the change should be made, provided
It go into force at n time epoch which
would easily fix itself on the memory
Otherwise, they fear errors might arise
in future astronomical calculations
Such time epoch will present itself
at midnight on December 81, 1900, wher
the nineteenth century passes into the
twentieth, and the present urgency OF
the matter lies in the fact that tht
Nautical Almanac, which would have tC
be corrected in accordance with the new
reckoning, is usually prepared nearly
four years in advance The opportuni
ty which now presentsitselfw will. there
fore, not recur until another century
has elapsed.-Manchesie er Guardian.

THE TRUE STATUS.

The Miami Herald continues to
be ignorant in spite of abundant
opportunities for information. 1t
says: "The Delaware claim arises
from a bargain made by the Cher
okees which it now seems they are
anxious t. repudiate. The Cher
okees have no desire to repudiate
any agreement ever entered into.
If the Herald would buy, beg or
borrow a copy of the agreement
with the Delawares and read it,
we feel safe in saying that it would
not make the assertion above
quoted. Under the agreement
the Delawares who registered as
Cherokee citizens were to have 16O
acres of land as their share, in the
event of allotment, and their de-
cendants were to be in all respects
regarded as Cherokees. Now the
Dawes commission proposes to al
low them 100 acres each, dead and

THERE is better prospect now
of an early and an equitable set
tlement of the problem of tribal
sovereignty in this territory than
ever before. Congress is getting
into a position to deal directly
and intelligently with the question
by and through the medium of
legislation. The days of sending
expensive commissions to this
country TO negotiate" with the
Indians are numbered. The In
dians and the government have
both been victimized by the work
of commissions. 1t is but a reit-
Grafton of the history and dealings
of congress with Utah. Commits
sion after commission was sent 10
negotiate with the Mormons until
finally congress took the matter in
hand and legislated all the diff
culties out OF existence.
The Indians of the five tribes
understand thoroughly that the
progress of events have made il
imperative that they change their
form of government and their sys-
tenn of land tenure. The five
tribes now only seek to protect
the individual property rights oi
their citizens, and are willing to
agree to any plan that is fair to
all their people. They also recog,
nize that they don't have to sub
nit to any plan, or TO any edict Of
the United States government that
is not right, and that they have
their remedy in the courts when.
ever wrong is perpetrated. Or
the other hand, the government
