The Choctaw council has an ele-
phant ON it's hands. The nation
j. in bad financial strait, with no
prospects for any relief. There is
over $50. 900 in outstanding war
rants and not a dollar on hand to
liquidate them. They will not sell
for SO cents on the dollar, and the
banks do not care to handle them.
It was at first thought to be adYis-
able to issue bonds, and a bill had
been drafted for that purpose; but
1T seems that some of the members
of the council are afraid the presi-
dent of the United States will veto
the bill. Some thought it best to
withdraw 5000, 900 of the invested
funds belonging to the Choctaw
nation and now being held by the
United States, but it will take an
act of congress to withdraw it, and
the schools and academies would
necessarily have to close before
they could get any relief on that
line. One of the high Choetaw Of
ficials remarked that there are only
two solutions-one is to stop the
schools and the other is to issue
bonds and try the president and
see if he will approve such an act.

Information from Kingfsher,

gave Fort Worth as his home, had
been instantly killed in that place
some time during last Friday night.
1t is claimed that Nordrie, in
search of employment, reached
Kingfsher late at night and went
to hotel, where he was assigned
to front room on the third floor.
Early Saturday morning passers-
by discovered his body, mangled
and bleeding, on the pavement di-
rectly under the window of his
room. Nordrie was dead, having
fallen from the third story window.
His skull was frightfully crushed
and one of his legs broken.

The settlement of the Indian
Territory has been an exception to
all the experiences that have ever
occurred in the Territories west of
the Mississippi river. For over 60
years it has been the continued eff
fort of the United States to keep
settlers out of the Territory on the
account of this country belonging
to the Indians; and, nOtwithstand-
ing this fact, over 10000 white
people have made their way into
this country and most of them
built for themselves some sort of a
home, and not one of them can
say that he is the owner of the
land on which he lives. Many
persons have splendid residences
and are fixed up as well as in the
states, where they have warranty
deeds or patents from the state.
These facts prove at least two
things: first, that this is a very
excellent country, and very desira-
BILE to live in; and, secondly, that
they have an abiding faith in be-
lug able at some future time to Sc
cure title to the soil.-Muskogee

The general belief in Washing
ton has been from the beginning
that this country would not pay
cent of Cuba's debt of $3.50, ,O00,-
600, represented by Spanish bonds,
about two-thirds of which are said
to be held by French bankers,
about $50,000,00O by American
capitalists, $50, 100000 by the vat
lean, and the remainder by bank
ers III Berlin, Vienna and other
European capitals. But the agents
of the holders of these bonds have
by no means abandoned hope of
getting some provision made for
them somewhere in the deal. The
news from Paris shows that the
European capitalists who hold the
Spanish bonds representing the
$40, ,000,0 900 debt of the Philip
pines are also at work trying to
get the peace commission to saddle
the debt on the United States.
Powerful as are the influences that
are being utilized in the interest of
holders of Spanish bonds, they are
likely to fail, for the simple reason
that. public opinion in this country
is overwhelmingly opposed to the
assumption of the debt.

THE HEART OF THE YEAR.

We have fsthoned the heart of the year;
And We ask as our pleasures abound,
II In all the glad years We have found.
There was ever another so dear?
Was there ever such verdure before,
Or such fair fragrant lilies as these,
With whole meadows OF daisies TO plea Sc,
Dr. Of fruitage so lavish q store?
And we think how We watched for the
spring,
How we hailed the first bloom with de-
light
How We questioned by day and by night
What the new year. the strange year would
bring.
And her heart she has shown us, and Oh,
There are pleasures and treasures Of
worth.
And she scatters them over the earth,
Where the feet Of her lovers may 40.
And we follow. like children DER blest
Win more gifts than they see in their
S-eams
And we linager by forests and streams,
And drink of the fountain OF rest.
Oh. year. that Is bonny and sweet!
For thy blessings so lavish We fain
Would thank thee again and again
And pour out our love at thy feet.
