THE COW PEA.
Vegetable Unknown to the North
That Has Mnuy Uses In the south.

The COW pea is not mentioned in the
market quotations, and it is not found
among the heaped-up varieties of peas
at the produce dealers. Planters even
as far southwark as the Potomac are
unfamiliar with its merits; but further
down on the coast, in the Carolinas and
in Georgia, the unpretending little len
til is of consequence. 1t stands for the
coin of the country in certain seasons
and is a recognized factor in the Christ
mas trade.
In that region when a farmer, white
or black, refers to the amount of peas
he has harvested, II goes without say
ing that he is speaking of the COW pea,
and it is the cow pea that the quail has
in mind when he calls Dob white!
Peas ripei" so confidingly across the
fields. The black-eyed pea, the aristo-
cratic little lady pea, the speckled pea,
the sugar pea, the garden pea, aud so
on, may have their special uses and
patronage. but the COW pea heads them
all in solid. practical benefits for man
and beast in that region.

As to skirts, they will be much mar

more than five cores will be used. The
front and side pieces will be narrow
and tight-fitting. while the back cores
will be laid in tiny plaits at the belt.
Either overskirts will be worn or
skirts trimmed to simulate them. A
pretty style for young girls has double
skirt, the upper one drawn Up and back
slightly at the hips.
Although skirts are so narrow. IL is
still necessary to have them stand out at
the bottom. To secure the proper effect
a band of haircloth y inches wide is
used and n stiff underskirt is always
worn.

OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE.

Those who have staked so much
on the passage of the Curtis bill,
believing that it would bring about
such radical changes in the Indian
country ss-would be conducive to
the interests of non-citizens, are
doomed to disappointment. As
the measure passed the senate last
week it is stripped of most if not
all its Objectionable features Ito
the Indian) and its enactment will
make little or no difference to him.
The provision for the allotment of
land is undoubtedly for the best
interest of the Indians, aud it is of
vastly more importance to them
than any proposition the govern
ment has made in recent years.
The Cherokees, we believe it can
be stated definitely, desire allot-
ment at the earliest day possible.
provided II can De dune wffn Jus.
tice TO all.
The abolition of tribal govern
ments has already, to all intents
and purposes, been wrought. AT
the beginning of the present year
their laws ceased to be operative,

forts of the indians, backed by the
courts and the Indian agent, to
revive them.

AT THE MERCY OF THE SONS.
Lack OF Food for the Army Due to the
inefficieney of staff Officers.

WASHINGTON, June 8 Political
pap is being served out to the vol.
unteers In the field when the reoui.
sillons for substantial food are
made. This explains, in a meas.
ure, why the volunteer troops are
today suffering for the necessaries
t oi lie at the various encampments.
There is no intention on the part
OF the war department to neglect
the troops in the field, nor is there
any desire on the part of the com.
mlssary of subsistence or the quar-.
termaster general to put the troops
on starvation rations.
The trouble seems to lie in the
rank lnexperience of the newly ap-
pointed members OF the staff de.

olllty ot a few seasoned officers to
perform the gigantic duties impos.
ed upon them in equipping and

LATEST OF THE WAR.

The war movements for the
past week have been somewhat
slow and tedious. The two events
of most importance were the land
ing of 900 marines near Santiago,
the battle with Spanish guerrillas
lasting thirteen hours Saturday
night, and the embarkation OF To-
600 troops at Tampa for Santiago.
These forces are expected to land
about Saturday and move upon
Santiago simultaneously with the
sea forces.
The situation fhthe Philippines
is still Gavorable to the e-Americans.
Saneuinsllo, the insurgent leader,
with an army of natives armed by
Dewey, has captured all the out
ports around Manila and is expect
ed to take the city soon in the
name of the United States. Four
companies of the trough riders"
were dismounted at Tampa and
have gone with Gen Skaters
army
A special received late last even
ing at this Office stated that Samp-
son had just been heard from by
cable to the effect that several
hundred insurgents under Garcia
were cooperating with the Ameri-
cans. Also that everything was
satisfactory at Guantanamo, the
point east Of Santiago at which the
marines landed and which is to be
the base of supplies for the Cuban
invasion.

JUDGE THOMAS HISTORY.
Parsons, Kans., June IA, 1898.

PARSONS, Kans., June IA, 1898.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN, Vinita, L. T. ::
in order to settle dispute here,
l desire TO ask you for the follow
ing information: What is the date
of the appointment of Judge John
r. Thomas as war governor?
And isn't he the judge of all the
Indian Territory?
And therefore the ranking Judge
of the Indian Territory?
How many brothers has Judge
Thomas, and are they in the U. s.
navy?
Which one is with Admiral
Dewey, and which will Adoairal
Sampson3
Is John M. Taylor, jr., chief of
The Indian Territory scouts, cou-
sin of the Judges?
What additional salary does
Judge Thomas draw for these ad-
ditional services? Yours truly,
JNo. M. GLASS.
The above letter was received
yesterday, and all who have been
keeping up with current events in
the Indian Territory, especially
the organization OF the trough
rIders, viii not Oe at a loss to
understand why people on the out
side might be seeking information.
To the first query we have to
state that Judge Jno. r. Thomas,
Of this city, is not now, nor never
vas, war governor" of this terri
Tory. Judge Thomas was appoint
ed iudge-at-lsrge for the federal
court Of the Indian Territory last
-yeaE~ The Indian Territory is d.
vided into three judicial districts:
the Northern, Southern and Mid
die. Judge Townsend presides
over the Southern, Judge Clayton
over the Middle, and Judge
Springer over the Northern. The
business of the territory was so
voluminous that it became neces-
sary to appoint another judge, to
be sent anywhere in the territory
that the size of the docket might
suggest. Judge Thomas holds
court at points designated by the
appellate court of the territory. He
is not the ranking judge of the
territory.
II Judge Thomas has brothers
in the United States navy we
are not aware of it. The
story in circulation that he has
q brother with Dewey, and another
with Sampson, is a pure fabrica-
ton, started probably by some

For the last twenty years this
country has been considered a
great stock country, and a great
many thousand cattle have fatten-
ed upon the ranges of Coowees-
coowee and Delaware districts and
been shipped to market. A few
years ago the range was practically
boundless and the greatest trouble
the cow man had was to keep his
stock from ranging too far and
over too much territory. AS the
country has gradually filled up
with farmers, and the big ranges
been cut down, the cattle business
on a large scale has been rendered
more and more impossible. Just
the amount of good grass land it is
necessary for the fattening of one
steer has never been definitely de-
termined, but it has been demon
strateI that it does not take as
large an area as was thought not
many years ago. 1t has been
proven again and again that one
acre of good grass is sufficient to
fatten a steer, and probably much
less piece of grass will yet be
found to be enough. There is
large amount of grass land fenced
up in fields and pastures and much
of it will be worth more in native
grass than when broken out and
put in cultivation.
