Joseph M. Patton, of Topeka, Responsible
for One "ThrlIllng story"
Topeka, Kan, May 5,-Some weeks
ago an account was published here and
sent out purporting to give a descrip-
tion of the fight Of an ''airship' over
Topeka. The story said that it carried
two big lights and sailed majestically
over the city, its light rivaling the
brilliancy of Venus. 1t turns out
that the mysterious visitor was
nothing more than scientific
kite sent up by Joseph NJ. Pat
ton, manager of the Topeka street
railway, who is something of a me-
teorologist and who bought the kite in
Boston for the purpose of making at
mospheric tests. The kite is about 2S
inches high and carries two enormous
lanterns and in the heavens looks start
lingly big. When Mr.. Patton read
what sensation his experiment had
caused he laughed in his sleeve and en-
couraged the reporters to further in
vestigation He kept his secret until
to-day, when he confded it to friend
and who made it public.

Pensioning Ex-slaves.

WASHINGTON, May 5, - Rev. Silas
Myers, of Simpson county, Miss, is in
the city looking after the bill to pen
sion the ex-slaves. The bill was intro
duced by Senator Thurston some years
ago and created a great fnrore among
the ex-slaves in the southern states,
particularly those in Mississippi and
Louisiana. Because of the credulity
of the southern negroes, many sharp
ers and schemers took advantage of
them and have worked all sorts of de-
vices to extort money from them. Rev.
Myers brings with him the signatures
of over 5000 Mississippi ex-slsves who
have sent him here to investigate the
matter and to see what can be done.
He is Endorsed by the colored people
and the eolored press of the south and
proposes to state his business before
congress in a few days, He is re-
markable negro of the old slave class;
is 10 years old, and was slave AZ

INDIAN TREATY.
Objection to RatiFying the One Made
with the ChoctGws and Chickasaws.
THE UNINTAH RESERVATION
A BnI to AIlOt Lands TO Indians in Utah-A
Negro Preacher Looking After
the Bill to Pension ca
Slaves.

WASHINGTON, May 5.--There is some
objection being manifested among sem
ators to ratification of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw treaty with the Dawes
commission, on the ground that no
provision is made in the treaty for
taking care of the Chickasaw freed
men. The freedmen of the Chickasaw
nation number over 1900. 1t is the
general opinion here that the agree
ment made by the Dawes commission
with the Chickasaws and the Choctaws
will, if ratified by the senate, hasten
the settlement of the whole Indian
territory question, as no difficulty is
apprehended in making terms with the
rest of the five civilized tribes. The
reason is that the questions which will
come up in the negotiations with the
Cherokees Seminolss and Creeks will
be very much less complicated than
those which were involved in the me-
gotiations with the Choctaws and
Chickasaws Under the provisions OF
the Indian appropriation bill the other
tribes will be obliged to enter into
agreements with the Dawes commits
sion next, or else their tribal relations
will be dissolved. As the Choctaw and
Chickasaw agreement provides for the
continuance of the tribal relations for
eight years and permits the allotment
of lands under less Objectionable CON
ditions than would be the case under
the law of congress, the Cherokees,
Creeks and SeminOles may be expected
to effect an understanding with the
commission without delay.
