The new plant recently put in opera

The superiority of Carter Lead is due
to improved methods and the putting
into use the very latest machinery by
which a perfect corrosion is obtained,
and, consequently, when you purchase
a keg of Carter Lead you get keg of
Lead that is perfectly corroded.

Some of the citizens of Adair,
have had a touch of bad luck.
Only a few hundred short by mis-
take. We can hardly call it a case
of misplaced confidence for the
gentlemen were deceived by false
pretenses. Jim Johnson, better
known as Billie Anderson, alias
Jay Gould, alias Klondyke Bill,
aliases until you can't rest, is the
man wanted. He sold a team,
wagon and harness to blacksmith
by the name of w. P. Pennington
for $50 cash. The team was a
stolen one. Then he hired liv-
cry team of Abe Harman and left
not to return. A posse from Adair
with winchesters were here Mon
day hot on his trail. They
thought they knew his wherea
bouts, but up to going to press
they have not caught up with him.
We imagine there will be some
fun when they do. The pursuers
have blood in their eye and they
will make a hot time in the old
town when they catch him. 1t is
expected they will give a neck-tie
party when they get home.-Si-

gressed with varying results, but
never successful, if success is to
be measured by reaching the object
aimed at in the beginning. The
commission was not long in arriv-
ing at the conclusion that political
changes were badly needed in this
Indian country and that for the
protection of the masses of the In
dians allotment OF land was i'm
perative. To bring about allot-
ment under the policy of the
Dawes commission it was neces-
sary to get the consent of the In
dians themselves and in this the
commission failed. But the dis
ease is not cured; the skill of the
physician is only baffled; the same
old troubles exist and in aggra-
waited form, and the thing that
seems to be needed now is prac-
teal craftsmanship and business
principles applied by congress in
adjusting a matter that seems to
be inevitable.

Dress Goods.

Our purchases for this season
we're double any former purchases,
and we were in on the "ground
floor" on prices. We never paid
a rise on a single item in our stock,
although the new tariff called for
from 5 TO SIC yard advance. We
secured our stock at old prices; in
soma instances for less money.
Now as the season has been
rather backward for this depart
ment we have decided to use the
"knife" freely on all kinds of
DRESS GOODS. We do not in
tend to carry over single piece of

them.

may be said for the credit of the
Downings that their nominations
were far more creditable than
those of the Nationals but the lat
ter had the "call" by a score of
something like 80 to %.
Several places were filled earlier
in the week by recommendation
of the chief and confirmation by
the senate, including R. K. Adair,
steward at the male seminary, Joe
French at the female and George
Vann at the colored high school.
AS will be discovered, fitness en-
ters not into the question of get
ting an Office. The chief judicial
officer of the nation just elected
was the defendant a very few
years ago in case too revolving to
be recited in these columns and
escaped just punishment by legal
technicality. The writer's inform
ant was at the time either the pros
ecuting officer or the sheriff, and
his opportunity for knowing is not
to be doubted.
Albert Taylor, elected auditor,
is said to be "boot.legger" and
his name is also connected with
misfortune which befell w. w.
Hastings one night some years
ago. He is a son of John Taylor,
who played the blind pensioner
dodge on the United States some
years ago to the extent of more
than five thousand dollars and for
which he is "doing time" at one
of the federal prisons.
These two examples are prob
ably the most fiagrant ones, but
several Of the other persons elect
ed had better been left at home.
There is a conviction that the
present is an admirable time to
make a "strike" for the four mil
lion dollars due from the United
States as per the Wyly accounting.
Negotiations being of, the prospect
for favors are not bright, and any
thing got out of the government
will in no sense be gratuity. But
the nation, so the feeling is, has a
good fighting chance for success
and its prospects will be materially
impaired rather than improved by
delay. Fortunately for the people
at large, the government has de-
clared against paying any more
money into the Indian treasures,
and whatever is appropriated will
be paid direct to the beneficiaries.

A VISIT TO TAHLEQUAH,
WHAT WAS SEEN AND HEARD By
A "CHIEFTAINo MAN.
An Air Of Resignation Short COllec-
tiOns and Long Bills-Ofllcers and
Some Of Their Records Miscellan-
cons.

An air of resignation to the in
evitable" is more manifest about
the capitol and upon the streets
than ever before. Nearly every
observation regarding the future is
prefaced by some allusion to the
prospective termination of juris-
diction and, if reports be true, this
prospective dissolution of author
ity has been worked" by the
district officers and those who
should either pay or collect reve-
nue, for its full value. Believing
that escape from punishment was
certain, it is said that officials
have been very careless, at least,
in reporting collections and remit
ting, and permit and other reve-
nues have not been paid with that
degree of alacrity which once pre-
vailed.
Time was when the advent of
the solicitor in one of the towns of
the upper districts meant a great
business for the deputy permit
clerk located therein, and the dis
cussion of adverse permit legisla-
tion produced a great sale of
twelve month permits. But that
was before the present very fool
ish law which sends a man to Jail
for hiring a white man had a
place upon the statute books. 1t
was not difficult to find jury will
ling to fine man of respectability
$50 for a violation of this kind, but
sending them to Jail is a different
matter.
Little legislation is talked of;
one member had the temerity to
talk of restricting monopoly of
the public domain, but his col
leagues all know, il he does not,
that such a thing cannot be done.
The offices were, as usual, the
engrossing subject for the first two
weeks of the present session. Sat
urday last they were disposed of
by joint ballot as follows:
Supreme judge, John Grass, { Nc
Intosh) of Chelsea; editor Advo-
cate, Joe Sequitchie, of Chelsea;
national auditor, Albert Taylor of
Tahle9uah; member of board of
education, George Mitchell of Vi
nita; superintendent Cherokee or
phan asylum, Rev. J. F. Thomp-
son, of Tahlequah; medical super
intendent at orphan asylum, DR..
Mitchell of Pryor Creek; members
of executive council, Pigeon and
Bait.
These are the nominees of the
National caucus, with The excep-
ton of Thompson and DR.. Mitch
ell, who succeeded in breaking
the estate" to that extent.
Rev. J. f. Thompson and DR..
Mitchell were the only persons be-
longing to the opposing party who
got III. The former got not a lit
tie help, it is more than probable,
from "Uncle Johnson" aud the
latter had the help of the Year
gains, Claude Washbourne and
others, of Delaware district. 1t

The final settlement of the issu

The final settlement of the issues
confronting the congress of the
United States with regard to tri-
bal affairs should be left to prac-
tical statesmen and not to philoso-
pliers and sentimental dreamers.
The time is fast approaching, nay,
is now here, when the issues must
be met squsrely and fought out
and settled, finally and ultimately.
1t is definitely settled beyond all
controversy that the Dawes COM
missionn either knew how, nor had
the authority when it came among
the Indians to make an equitable
settlement of the difficulties in the
way. Congress erred in assuming
that negotiation" would ever
bring the Indians to terms, or
induce them to surrender their au-
tonomy, and the forthcoming re-
port of the commission ought be-
yond all peradventure to disclose
that fact.
In the first instance the govern
ment started out with the avowed
intention of fully recognizing all
the rights, real and imaginary, that
the Indians could possibly claim.
The end, however, always to be
kept in view, being the abolition of
of the tribal government and the
admission of the territory as a
state of the Union, the condi-
tion of affairs in this country
seemed to justify the course laid
out by the congress of the United
States. There was every reason
why change should be brought
about, and the attention of con-
gress had been repeatedly called to
the anomalous condition of affairs
here, and commission after COM
mission had been sent here on
tours of inspection. and tor years
and years had made practically
the same report. The coming of
the Dawes commission was against
the wishes of the Indians, and
they began negotiations By refus-
ing to accede to any of the princi-
pal terms proposed by the COM
mission. After a time it was ap-
parent that the commission would
have to have more authority or be
Withdrawn altogether, and, in the
light of events, it is practically
settled that the latter course should
have been pursued. But, as the
work progressed, new difficulties
arose that were not to be seen in
the beginning. The question as to
what should be done with the in
truders and their improvements
puzzled congress and the Dawes
commission for at least two OF the
four years since the latter's crea-
ton, and has not yet been finally
settled. The laborious and long
drawn negotiations have pro-

precinct is secured and the rolls
are gone over carefully, particular
ly the 1894 roll, in which most o
the late frauds lie buried. Bill

ton OF the nation.
Both houses of council present {
thoroughly Indian appearance
more so than for a great many
years. The man of most com.
manding appearance in the senate
is not member at all, but the in.
terpreter, Mr.. Eubanks. There
are not half dozen white Indians
in both bodies combined and we
believe ]. S. Davenport is the only
white man in either body. 1t is a
singular fact that while the full
bloods will oppose with all the
power that's in them any encroach-
ment upon the lands of the nation,
they have no compunction in join
ing raid upon the treasury, and
no appropriation is too big, pro-
vided they have been "seen."
The present has been not only a
bad year for collections, but an ex-
pensive one for the nation. The

fortune and in addition the law
yers' fees and costs in the citizen
ship cases have run into big figures.
Friday last the game of foot ball
between the male seminary team
and that of Henry Kendall college.
Muskogee, took place at Table
quah. Having won the first game,
played at Muskogee, the seminary
team was full of confidence, as
were its friends, and the blue and
white colors were seen on every
side. They fell by the wayside,
however, the game closing six to
four in favor of the visitors. 1t is
expected the third game will be
played at Muskogee, Thanksgiv-
ing day. An idea of the interest
manifested may be gained when it
is stated that not only was the
town nearly depopulated during
the time OF the game, which was
played at the male seminary, but
both houses of council adjourned
and most OF the national officers
witnessed the game. Considering
that most of the conspicuous men
of the nation, who speak English
and have any considerable degree
of education, have at one time or
another attended this institution, |
it is not to be wondered that at
council time there should be a /
generous turn out to witness the
sports or take an interest in all
that concerns the pupils.
A familiar face is that of Sena-
tor Gunter, of Sequoyah district, !
but he is in poor health and |
spends as little of his time as is
