Tho Sensations That Are superinduced
by Its Rising and Failing.
A dim sunlight strikes us IN the bal
loon. Suddenly we realize we are in
bright sunlight again, with heecy
white clouds below us and a deep
blue sky above. Look at the shadow
Of the balloon on the cloudsl See the
light prismatic colors like halo
around the shadow OF the car. Here
we are all alone, in perfect silence. in
the depths OF a great abyss-massive
clouds towering up on all sides, a
snowy white mass below. But no sfgn
OF earth-no sign OF anything human.
Not a sound, not a sign OF life! What
peacel What bllssl Horrorsl What
that report? The balloon must have
burst Oh, nonsensei Keep still! It's
only fold OF the stuff nipped by the
netting being suddenly released; that's
all. Well, we are falling, for see the
bits OF paper apparently ascending.
Andwe must take care, for the cold
ness and dampness OF this cloud will
cause the gas to contract and we shall
fall rapidly. So get bag OF ballast
ready, for we are already in the dark
ness OF the cloud. Now the gas bag
shrinks and wrlthes, and the loose
folds rustic together, and II gets dark
er. You can feel the breeze blowing
upward against your face or hand held
over the edge OF the car. Well, that's
not to be wondered at, for remember
we are falling, say 1000 feot a minute,
which is the same thing as II We were
going along ten miles an hour sitting
In a dogcart. Not quite the same, you
say-you'd sooner be in the cartG
Well, perhaps II the horse were going

JUST what the call council now
in session at Tahlequah will do is
a matter of speculation and con-
lecture. 1t is said by some in a
position to know that the princi-
pal thing to do will be to arrange
for attorneys to represent the ma
ton before the Dawes commission
in making a roll of citizenship.
II is understood that the commits
sion under the present law has a
right to go into any and all rolls
made subsequent to 1880 and
purge the same OF any names ap-
pearing thereon, that may seem to
the commission to have been fraud
ulently placed there. The rolls Of
1880 are presumably correct rolls,
at least they are to be accepted as
such, but all other census rolls are
to be Investigated and purged OF
such names as may upon investi-
cation prove TO be fraudulent. 1t
is quite likely that the rolls made
last year will be adopted with the
exception of such names as the
Cherokees may object to them
selves. Any person whose name
may be stricken from the roll may
appeal to the United States and
show cause why their name should
not be dropped.

The establishment Of the seat of
government for the five tribes at
Fort Gibson is good plan and
one that we favor, only it is ear.
nestly hoped that the two commits
sions will not find it necessary to
saddle the claim Of the Delawares
upon the Cherokee nation in order
that this very beautiful scheme be
consummated. Fort Gibson has
many natural advantages to recon-
mend it for site upon which to
build the capital Of the splendid
state that is now in embryo in the
Indian Territory, and to secure it
there is a contamination devoutly
to be wished, but only deliver us
from the scheme of robbery con-
tanned in the Delaware claim. Sep
arate the two propositions and
settle them, and build a town the
size Of st. Louis or Chicago at Fort
Gibson If possible; but don't rob
the Cherokee nation in order to ac-
complish il.

SHERIFF NEAL WARD, in this
district, has perhaps the easiest
race of any candidate in the field.
Ward has made an exceptionally
good officer in the past, and is a
good citizen, whereas his oppon-
ent is one Of the most disreputable,
irresponsible men in the whole
country. "Red" Sanders is known
throughout the district as a very
tough character, drinking, gamb-
ling, whiskey peddling pimp, that
no decent man can afford to vote

Along with the abolition Of tho
Indian governments in this terri
tory, and the utter and final ex-
tinguishment Of what has been
designated "lndian autonomy"
there has been settled on pretty
large scale number Of other social
end political questions. A trial Jf
more than half century of the
theory of land.in- common, under
the protection Of the government,
and surrounded on the whole by
favorable circumstances, has proven
beyond q doubt that such a system
must inevitably result in failure.
There is something in the human
makeup, both in the savage and in
the civilized state, that Graves and
demands the ownership of the
home, and seeks the exclusiveness
Of private title to the rooftree
around which grows the family,
and upon which after all the very
foundations of all human govern.
ment stand. To deny the family the
right of ownership to the home is
to undermine the whole govern
mental structure which must sooner
or later fall headlong because
built upon the sands of uncertain
and transitory title. A great les.
son in civil economics may be
learned by a study of the rise and
fall of these Indian governments,
planted in the unsettled west under
the most auspicious circumstances,
and with the best possible oppor-
tunities for working out and prov
ing to the world the feasibility of
the communal system of land own
ership. The Indians believed in
the system and would have no
other, and the government set off
to them an amount OF land aggre-
eating in individual shares thous-
ands OF acres per head, and in less
than three quarters of a century
they have utterly failed and run
through with nine.tenths of the

decided as a last measure to allot
the few remaining acres among
themselves and quit the expert.
ment. With a fully civilized peo-
pie the experiment would not have
lasted so long. With the avarice
and greed of the Anglo-Saxon, a
like experiment would not last a
decade.

BETTING ON THE RAIN.
ouserest Gambling Game In the World

ouserest Gambling Game In the World
IL Played In Calcutta.
One OF the most curious forms OF
gambling In the world is rain gam
bling" which at this season OF tho
year is at its height in Calcutta, says
the New York Herald. The principal
rain gambling den Is on Cotton street,
Burra bazaar. No one who has
not visited the place can have
any conception OF the vast crowds
which at every hour OF the day and
far into the night pass in and out.
The great majority are Mawaris. who
are born spectators, but there are as
well plenty OF well-tO-dO Europeans,
Eurasians. Jews, Armenians and
Greeks, and women, too. All swarm
into the small courtyard where this
strange form Of gambling is carried
on through a narrow entrance barely
three feet wide The courtyard IL
about 200 feet square. The far-famed
tank with a spout falling into tho
courtyard Is the one spot where all
eyes are fixed. The tank stands at the
edge OF a second-hoor roof. II Is about
six feet broad by four feet wide and
nine inches deep. with the spout open
ing Inward. some three or four inches
from the bottom. From this II will
be seen that Il requires a pretty heavy
downpour for at least ten minutes to
cause the spout 10 flow. Intermittent
drizzles, which partly an this tank. do
not count, as the shower TO All Il must
pour down unintermpteily and then
the bets are won or lost. Chances
are taken either for OF against
the spout running. A gray
haired, wizened old man Is the owner
OF the den and there Is another similar
place across the road. only smaller.
On the roof. over the fifth floor there
Is a small, square watch tower, In
which are stationed five or six men,
whose duty Is TO scan the horizon
closely and report on the formation OF
rain clouds. On these reports
the odds rise or fall A bet
made and won one day is al
ways paid the following morning.
Everything seems 10 be ION the

chance for cheating. The odds range
an high as to rs on some days. even

a fortune In a single day. One person
recently won over 1900 In the course
OF a few weeks. But he worked tho
