SEMINOLE CHIEFS DECLARE THERE IS
 N0 UPRISING.
8ut Nevertheless tbe People Along ht Oklahoma Line Fear the Vengeance
 Of the Indians.

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 11-A special to the News from Oklahoma City, O. T., says: There is an uprising in the Seminole Nation and one hundred armed Indians have killed twenty-five citizens of Pottawattomie County. this territory. The Indians are seek ing to avenge the recent burning of Lincoln McGeisy and Palmer Simp- son, two Indians of the Seminole tribe, who were accused of murdering Mrs. Leard of Maud postoff1ce A spe- cial train load of armed citizens has gone to Earlsboro, ten miles from Maud, and excitement Is higher than ever known before in the Indian Ter ritory.
 Another special to the News from Wewoka, Ind. T., says: To-day United States Commissioner w IT Fears and F. F. Wisdom, chief clerk to Indian Agent Wisdom, accompa- nied by O. P. Linn, the national physi- clan of the Seminole Nation, went to the farm of Henry Taylor, a Seminole Indian, where the bodies of Lincoln McGeisy and Palmer Simpson. the

small farmers receive the benefit of the act of 1893. The primal duty of the board is to endeavor by every economy to reduce the cost of production and to make the cost, as much as they pos sibly can, the standard of market quo- tations. It is by developing the possi- bilities, or at least fairly testing the merits of the Ostrom act, that such an end may be achieved.
 Two causes initiate against the mass Of small farmers getting sacks at off, cial rates. One, their want of funds for the preliminary 10 per cent deposit and the final payment before realizing from their crops; the other their ig- norance or misapprehension of the law. Between them and the State the board should serve voluntarily as advisers and negotiators. They should address annually to every small farmer in the State letter explaining the law and ofIerlng cooperation on the part of the board in the matter of securing tenn porary loans for the needy through the many banks that could be persuaded to extend credit, say, for 50 days, at a reasonable monthly percentage. They should refrain additionally from fixing prices or making sales until the prox- imity of harvest would enable the farm- CTS to estimate the number of sacks they might need.
 The whole transaction; the fixing of price on the basis of cost, the accept ance Of applications with deposits, and the delivery and receipt of final pay ment, might be made to cover period not exceeding sixty days in which the farmer could sell at least enough of his sacked crop to liquidate his note. Take for example the experience of 1897. Say farmer needed 1000 sacks. and he could have secured acceptance of his ! application in June or July under the February rate, which was ample for the State, as 1t covered the cost of pro- duction. A deposit of S4 75 would have been required. Now a small farmer is poor indeed who cannot raise S4 75 or twice or thrice that amount. In thirty days he would have wheat to sell, with the proceeds of which he could take up a note covering the 90 per cent final payment and freight
 At per cent, or say 113 per cent, for such small accommodation, he would pay for this assistance less than one dollar. As it was he was made to pay on the thousand sacks he used s6 50 premium, a distinct loss to him even as borrower of S5 50 on that small lot of goods. So it runs through the countless list of minor wheat producers who are the very ones the board should go out of their way to protect and assist in l the spirit of the law for which they have shown such regrettable contempt. With these men the board should put themselves in touch by persistent and systematic correspondence. and when all has been done for them that can be done by the 18th of June each year. then the discretionary power of ac- cepting applications for sacks in num- bers exceeding 5000 may be exercised.

PITCHED BATTLE
 BETWEEK NDHNS
 AND SETTLERS.
Conflict Near the Maud PostoMce m Which Several Families Are Exterminated
 by Redskins.

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 11-A special to the Eagle from Shawnee, O. T., says: The train from the east tonight brought to this city a car containing every woman and child of Earlboro. The passengers confirm previous re- ports and say a pitched battle between the Indians and settlers took place this afternoon near Maud postoffice, result ing in the wiping out of several fam iles.
 At later dispatch from Shawnee says: A message call for men and arms has just been received from Earlboro, a town of about 100 inhabitants, nine miles east of here, saying that nearly 300 Indians have declared vengeance on the town and are moving forward declaring that they will burn the place. Grave fears are entertained for the set tiers on the border. A special train was made up from here and 15O men, armed to the teeth, left for the scene, The whole country is aroused.
 GUTHRIE. O. T., Jan. 1.-Deputy marshals arriving here from Maud re- port a reign of terror in that section of the territory, following the recent lynching of two Seminole Indians, which has provoked the Seminoles to threaten vengeance. A dozen families are reported to have left their farms in the vicinity of Maud. One deputy brings a report that two white men were captured by Seminole bucks yes terday and put to the thumb torture.
 United States Marshal Thompson received instructions to-day to send a force of deputies to the line marking the border of Oklahoma and the In- dian Territory to cooperate with the Indian Territory officials in quelling the threatened outbreak.

SANTA ROSA FORGERY
 CASE OF GREAT INTEREST.
Trial for Signing the Name Of Another Person

SANTA ROSA, Jan. 1.-The trial of G. w. Patton, a prominent contractor, charged with forgery on an indictment brought by the Grand Jury, began in the Superior Court here this afternoon. It is alleged that Patton signed the name of an agent of the San Francisco Lumber Company to a receipt for $500 for materials furnished for a house built by Patton here. Patton claims that he is not guilty of the charge. The case is exciting much interest here.

abuses of the OStrOm law. He is a storekeeper, like many another benefi- ciary of the premature grain sack sales. Many small farmers patronize him, and doubtless receive favors as debtors They appeal to him for assistance when they want sacks, or, as has been learned he advises them early that they should put in their applications. The majority Of them, short of funds at that time of the year, are made de- pendent on him for the deposit of the required 10 per cent of the purchase money. He agrees to advance this. and further pay the residue of 90 per cent and the freight charges when the sacks are delivered to him.
 But the farmers must commit a mis- demeanor under the law before they can secure this assistance One man will need 800 sacks, another 1000. The middleman could not help them out on such small purchase. They must ap- ply for the full limit of 5000 sacks-in excess of it in some instances-and make affidavit that they are actual con- sumers of the given number He carries in stock, in fact all his kind do, a SUD- ply of blank forms. The form is as follows:

In spite of the fact that George Mere
dith AS an author is so complicated many
refuse to read him, he voices numerous
clever thoughts throughout his books in
the form OF aphorisms. Here are few:
Speech is the small change OF silence.
Observation Is the most enduring OF the
pleasures Of life.
What q woman thinks OF women Is the
test OF her culture.
There is nothing the body suffers that
the soul may not profit by.
The future not being born, my friend,
we will abstain from baptizing IL.
We women miss life only when we have
never met the man TO reverence.
That small motives are at the bottom
Of many illustrious actions is modern
discovery.
Intellectual differences do not cause
wounds. except when very unintelectual
sentiments are behind them
The hero Of two women must die and
be wept over in common before they can
appreciate one another.
The young who avoid the region or
