A Curiosity, Even to Indians.

Ah-na-me, Sac and Fox Indian,
accompanied by his family, attracted
considerable attention yesterday on
the streets, dressed in blanket. The
young man for number of years re-
sided in Iowa but as his father, Che
quo-skuk, familiarly called "Old
Chick" one of the four chiefs of the
nation, got along in years, the son
moved down to this country and on
the fathers death attained to his sta
tion and property. Ah-na-me was, years
ago, and perhaps is yet, a good deal OF
a sport and the white man tricks he
carried down TO Sock" on his visits,
kept his red brothers in perpetual
state of being broke, as long as he
STAYED. When he first went down
moccasin playing was the chief
vice to which his brethren were
addicted, but the seductive jack
pot and Spaniard's monte, likewise
the chuck-a-luck layout, wiped out
the game of his fOrefathers in short
order and when it was all too late
Hiram, and Talbert, and Captain, and
Colonel, and Mart, and Charley X, and
Jessie Rulo discovered that theiI
friend had not "traveled the white
mans road" in vain.

Impure Flour.

Few people, it is believed, have any
idea how general has become the prac-
tice of millers throughout the south
western states diluting their flour,
probably nine out of ten resorting to
this deception. 1t is possible TO incor-
porate in the low grade fiours as much
as twenty-five per cent of corn without
discovery by the consumer, if only
biscuit is made. For light bread it is
impractical to use this flour, but un-
fortunately for the mills making pure
flour only, the south uses little light
bread, and it is in the south that a
market must be sought. BY this dis
honest device the mills are enabled to
place their product in the retailers
hands at considerably less than the
wheat is worth in the pure flour, and
the result is the latter is driven out.
The consumer, if he could really be
made to understand, would probably
rebel against paying q or cents a
pound for corn meal, but the con-
sumer is slow to appreciate these
things and in the meantime the honest
mills will be kept out, as the wheat in
their flour is worth more than they
can get for the flour. One test Is To
wash out the -four and the corn Will
remain in the vessel; another is to
sprinkle some of the flour on a hot
stove, when the corn may be detected
by the smell. So far as known, it is a
pleasure to say, none Of. the Territory
mills are resorting to the fraud cited
above

Dynamite.

A stick Of dynamite was found under
house on the east side occupied by
some loose women Tuesday, and caused
considerable fright TO the inmates,
ana an uproar in the immediate neigh
borhood. 1t had fuse and cap already
adjusted, but had evidently failed TO
explode on account of the fuse going
out before the fire reached the pow
der. If the explosion had occurred as
planned the two women would have
perished and perhaps several good men
along with them. The CHIEFTAIS
advises the women to leave town inn
mediately.

TAHLEQUAH. L. L.. March 81. ISIS.
To the District Sheriffs: Com
plants from the various parts OF
the nation have been made 10 this
department to the effect that large
quantities of walnut and other val
liable timber are being cut and
shipped out of the Cherokee ma
tion in violation of the laws of said
nation and the United States rela-
tive thereto. The laws of this ma
tion prohibit the sale or shipment
of any timber other than down
walnut or walnut stumps on la full
claims, and walnut timber cut for
the purpose of placing the land in
cultivation, such timber cut being
within a lawful enclosure, and any
citizen wishing to sell any of the
above named walnut timber is re-
quired to obtain permit from the
clerk of the district and pay him
as a royalty So for each thousand
feet so sold. The law which au-
thorized the sale of railroad ties
and other material for railway use
has been repealed and licenses is
sued while said law was in force
authorizing future delivery of said
material declared null and void.
The act of congress approved June
4th, 1888, provides that 'every
person who unlawfully cuts or aids,
or is employed in unlawfully, or
wantonly destroys or procures to
be wantonly destroyed, any timber
standing upon the land of tho
United States which in pursuance
of law may be reserved or pur-
chased for military or other pur-
poses, or upon any Indian reser-
vation or lands belonging to or oc-
cupied by any tribe Of Indians
under authority of the United
States, shall pay fine Of not more
than $500 or be imprisoned not
more than twelve months or both,
at the discretion of the court"
You are hereby directed to seize
and hold all timber not authorized
by Cherokee law to be sold or
shipped that you may have good
reasons to believe is being pre-
pared for shipment, and report the
same, giving kind of timber, num-
Der of feet, where, when and by
whom cut, the names of persons
aiding in such cutting or shipment
and the names and postoilice ad-
dress of witnesses of such unlaw-
full cutting, ETC., to this depart
ment, that criminal prosecution
may be instituted against such
offenders Very respectfully,

Diagnosis of Grippe.

True grippe is a germ disease These
germs are in the circulation, and per-
wade every tissue and organ of the body.
This brings speedy collapse and often
death TO the aged and debilitated. After
the acute stage people wonder that they
do not recover. They call it the after
effects of the grippe. The fact is the
germs are still alive, and if not destroyed,
Will go on breaking down the constitu-
ton, and leave you a physical wreck
The only germicide known that searches
out and destroys every grippe germ IN
the system is Brazilian Balm. A week
or ten days treatment effects a com
plete cure.

Wanton Cruelty.

An act Of unusual cruelty, and Of
foolish desperation, was witnessed last
sabbath afternoon when a reckless
drunken fellow attempted to ride his
horse across the railroad bridge east
of town. The poor beast was whip
ped and spurred till it was forced onto
the outer timbers of the bridge where
it fell between the ties and skinned
its legs numerically. The law against
such wanton cruelty to poor dumb
beast should be enforced and the
drunken whelp fined heavily.

Gan We Incorporate? /?

As there seems to be a diversity OF
opinion with reference to the PROPOSE
tlon to incorporate the city of Ninita
under the Arkansas statutes, and the
matter is being discussed pro and con
with good deal OF vigor, we present
below the views of Judge G. B. Deni-
son of this city, who we believe to be
as competent TO pass upon the legality
of the question at issue as any one in
the country:
The territory to be Incorporated
must be territory mot embraced In
any city or incorporated town."
This excludes the town Of Downing
vile.
The petition must be presented TO
the county court" We have none,
and county court powers have never
been conferred upon the United States
Court in the Indian Territory.
Two transcripts of the record made
by the recorder (clerk United States
COURT Of the order Incorporating, the
petition and plat of the town, must be
made out by the recorder and one f1led
with secretary of state.
We have no secretary of state.
The officers and voters must be
''oualified electors of the state"
If we read territory for state, then
the only voters will be Cherokee citi-
zens. for they are the only qualified
voters of the Cherokee nation in the
territory.
If we say that this language was
meant by congress to draw with 1T SO
much of the law of Arkansas as de-
fines qualified electors, then only clti-
zens of the United States and those
who have declared their intention to
become such can vote, and the Chero-
KEGS are not citizens of the United
States and cannot vote.
When the town council levies TAX
they must certify the levy to the
county clerk, and he shall place it on
the tax book of the county, and il
shall be collected in the same manner
that state and county taxes are.
We have neither county clerk, coun-
ty tax books or collector of taxes.
The first question is: Where is there
a court with jurisdiction?
The second: Where are there any
qualified electors To hold office and
qualified voters to elect them?
The act of congress of 1890 only
adopts the chapter on corporations SC
far as applicable. Here it would seem
to be almost wholly inapplicable.
Last night a meeting was held at
the court house to hear the report of
committee previously appointed to ia
the boundary lines of the new corpora
tion, to be, and prepare the petition

A Reliable Remedy,

The object of opium in medicine is to
deaden and parslyze the nerves tempor-
arially to stop coughing or pain. Moth
ing promotes the opium or morphine
habit so much as cough mixtures that
contain this nefarious drug. Brazilian
Balm does not contain trace of it, but
is true balsam that removes the cause
of the trouble. Mr.. w. T. Barber, 10O]
n. 45d ST., Philadelphia Pa, says: 'Bra-
lillian Balm not only quickly removed
all trace of my cold but had generally
reviving effect upon my whole system
which has beeu permanent. recon-
