MIXED VERSUS FULLBLoOD

White Traders on the Side.

Guthrie, 0. T., Dec. 16.-(Special. )-Ad-
vices have been received concerning the
conflict between the full-blood and mixed
blood parties in the Usage Nation, giving
the true state of affairs now existing at
Pawhuska- The interior department has
recognized the full-blood council and gov

Special Inspector Mclaughlin, of the in
terror department, has been in Pawhuska
for nearly two weeks, but save the first
day or two of his stay has been confined
to his bed, dangerously i'll with typhoid
fever. He hopes, however, to continue
his investigation within a week. The
whole matter hangs upon a debt which
white traders al Pawiluska claim is owing
to them and has been for a period of
some years. The traders, with the excep-
ton of one new firm, are in fact the lead
ers of the mixed-Slood party, who claim
O-Do-Tho- Walla as governor. They have
about two or three dozen rnixed-bloods
as their immediate followers, and these
dominate the action of the rest. The mixed
bloods, If they get into power, will pass
an act asking for an appropriation of
s450000 to pay the debt claimed to be due
by the traders.
The full-bloods. with Jim Big Heart at
the head of the party, claim that there is
no such debt owing the traders, and will
fight any effort to ask for money to pay

assisted by Chief Justice Petit, of the

The GATES Of GOLD
A REPUBLICAN ORATOR AND HIS
INsCRUTABLE LOGIC
Pomona Audience Treated to Mis-
shapen and Moth-Eaten TRADE
Against Republican Opponents

POMONA, Oct. 26.-The Republican
| meeting last night was not as well attended
as usual. The first speaker, Mr.. Gates, in
his haste to catch the train, must have got
hold of the wrong speech, Tor the greater
portion of 1t was devoted to discussing the
Issucs OF the campaign OF 1883, ana his logic
was so smeared with cobwebs that 1T was
impossible to decipher where his conclusions
concluded. lie intimated that the Demo
Gratis were a set ol fools in 1883, when they
wanted tariff Tor revenue only. lie also
stated that, with less money in circulation
per capita in the United States, commodi-
ties were higher than in France, where the
circulation per capita was greater, thus ad-
hitting unintentionally good Democratic
doctrine. Then he proceeded TO a TRADE
against the Populist principles, and If any
'mlddle-roader' was present, he doubtless
ly knows what the Republican party thinks
about him now. He said the Populists were
deep IN the cellar OF discomfort, amid the
toads and other velmin. He urt>d the
young Americans OF that party to quit it
and step out into Gods sunlight, which he
termed Republicanism, and told the Pomona
girls under no circumstances to think OF
marrying lad with Populistic proclivities,
because he would be IA sure failure. He
abused the Populist doctrines throughout
and proclaimed them as class failure and
Il disturbing element of discomfort. If they
didn't like the way this country was run,
they ought to follow the Kansas lady to-
the gates of hell. where he said the Demo
Gratis would he sure to follow if they per-
sisted in their present alliances. The sum
and substance of the gentleman speech
were that the Populsts had no right to
think for themselves, much less to advocate
their doctrines. Mr.. Gates is evidently Il
believer i'll one standard and one infallible
party, and the shipping Of the rest to some
warm country. In the course of his speech
he told a couple of stories-onc about the
ch cuckoo" laying eggs, and another about
Il dove and an lrishman An old gentleman
sitting in the audience remarked that he
remembered hearing these stories about
th,rtytive years ago, but in those days the
he cuckoo laying eggs. and another about

that if the fusionists elected him on the Sth

when later discussing this particular phase.
said that we weren't Just prosperous as
we ought to be, owing to the dry season
and other untoward circumstances. All in
all, Mr.. Gates speech was the most illogi-
cal of the campaign, and it was almost a re-
lief to listen to straight Republican talk
from Judge Mckinley, notwithstanding
that it was devoted chiefly to the tariff,
which, he said. would vanish if the next con-
gress should be Democratic

STARVED TO DEATH
NELLIE THOMPSON, A CoLoRED
FANATIC, THE VICTIM
Followed the Teachings Of the Woman
Preacher Known as the Bride
Of Christ

A young colOred woman named Nellie
Thompson died in the patrol wagon yes
terday, while being conveyed TO the county
hospital. The colored people of the city
are up in arms over the girls death, claim
ing that she starved herself to death as
a result of the teachings Of one Mrs. Miner
va Williams, a colored religious fanatic,
who calls herself "the bride of Christ"
Mrs. Williams followers admit that the
dead girl tasted at different times for as
long period as eight days, but claim her
death was due to consumption.
Mrs. Williams and her peculiar religion
are not unknown to the police courts of
this city, and this Is not the first time
that many of the best known colored peo-
pie OF the city have objected to her methods.
Mrs. Williams does not fast or punish her
self in any way, as she claims that having
been welded to Christ, she is beyond the
reach of earthly sin and contamination.
~ number OF the colored people. however,
do not hold the same views and 1t Is prob
able the inquest on the body of Nellie
Thompson to be held today may develop
some interesting facts regarding Mrs. Will
liams and her work.
The Church of the First Born" as Mrs
Williams calls the congregation of people
whom she rules by apparently a sort of
hypnotic power, has caused the police Of
icers no end of trouble on various occa-
sions. While claiming to live by faith.
Mrs. Williams does not fast, nor does she
hesitate to accept the contributions of her
followers. The cause of her former trou-
bles has been the advice she gave to women
of her congregation, which made trouble

Whether or not the law of fasting, ETC.
as taught by the Bride of Christ" can
be reached by the common law is not
known, but some of the colored citizens are
firm in their demands that Mrs Minerva
Williams and her peculiar doctrines be
looked after, and that such deaths as that
OF the poor. deluded colored girl. Nellie
Thompson, be prevented If possible.
