have accomplished much. The
work of the committees is be-
coming systematized, and it
would seem that If they con-
tinue to make the same degree
of progress their labors will
soon be completed and their
recommendations put into the
form of bill, and the bill put
on the calendars of the house
and senate for final consider
alton.
The proceedings had at the
two meetings were as follows: !:
At the Monday meeting there
were present Senator Jones and
Congressman Curtis, Little,
Fisher, Lacy and Benton.
Major McKennon of the Dawes
commission was also present.
The discussion was general; the
whole situation was gone over,
and Major McKennon present
ed the views of the commission
as to the scope and extent of
proposed legislation. touching
specially on the status of allot-
ment and townsite questions.
The Curtis bill was before the
committee as a basis for their
labors. At the close of the
meeting Major McKennon was
authorized to prepare the views
of the commission ON these
questions. in the form Of amend
ments to the Curtis bill, and
present them to the committee
at its Thursday meeting.
At the Thursday meeting
there we're present Senators
Platt and Jones and all men,
bers of the house sub-commit-
tee. Major McKennor was
present with the work assigned
to him. The amendments were
taken up and discussed at some
length. He and Mr.. Curtis
were instructed to take the
amendments of the commission,
the suggestions of the commit
tee at it's two meetings, and the
Curtis bill and incorporate them
into bill. This they are now
doing and the result Of their
labors will be reported to a
meeting of the committee which
will be called as soon as they
are ready to report.
As indicated in former COM
munications, the two all absorb
ing questions that command
the attention of the committee
are allotment and townsites.
1t is now understood that the
bill being prepared will contain
the following provisions:
The allotment of the use and
occupancy of the land to the
Indians, reserving townsites
and coal and mineral lands
from allotment, and that when
the allottee is placed in posses
sion of his allotment he may go
into the United States courts
and ask that the fee be decreed
to him.
This decree vesting the fee in
the allottee shall make 160 acres
inalienable as a homestead q,
with the privilege of disposing
of the remainder under certain
restrictions imposed by the
court.
The townsites are to be sur
veyed, plated and appraised
and those in possession of inn
provements authorized to de-
posit a percentage OF their ap-
praised value into the sub-treas-
ury of the United States at st.
Louis, as an offer to the tribe.
This is practically the proyis-
ions of the Flynn bill of last
session.
The bill will further provide
for the levying of a municipal
tax for schools and city i'm
Iprovements.

mittee will lose no time in
agreeing upon a bill and asking
its passage by congress.
The settlement of the Indian
Territory question has been an
issue during the whole time
Judge Little has been in con-
gress. and during this time he
has given that branch of legis-
lation a great deal of his time
and a very thorough and pains
taking consideration. Among
other things, it has been his
idea to do justice first to the In
dian and also to the white citi-
zen who has gone there and
made improvements upon the
invitation of the Indian. When
allotment comes, the bill will,
of course, carry with it a pro-
vision for putting the allottee
in possession of such land as
may be given him. Judge Lit
tie has prepared an amendment
for the protection Of the white
citizen who may be in posses
sion of the allotment and who
has made valuable improve
'ments thereon. The amend
ment will be presented and
pressed at the proper time. and
reads as follows:
Provided always. that the
person in possession may, in
defense of said action. show
that he is and has been in
peaceable possession of such
lands and that he has, while in
such possession, made lasting
and valuable improvements
thereon; that he has not enjoy
ed the possession thereof a suf-
ficient length of time to com
pensate him for such improve
ments. Thereupon the court
or jury trying said cause shall
determine the fair and reason
able value of such improve
nents, and the fair and reason
able rental of such lands for the
time the same have been occu-
pied by such person; and if the
improvements exceed in value
the amount of the rents with
which SAID person should be
charged, the court, in its judg-
ment, shall specify such time
as, in the opinion of the court,
will compensate such person
for the balance due and award
to him possession for such time.
unless the amount due be paid
by the claimant within such
reasonable time as the court
shall specify. If the finding be
that the amount of the rents ex-
ceed the value of the improve
ments, judgment shall be rem
dered against the defendant for
such sum, for which execution
may ISSUE"
The question of the protec-
ton of church, school and
graveyard lots when allotment
is made has been discussed,
On this Judge Little will pre-
sent the following amendment:
''Reserving from allotment
all ground or plats of land that
may be necessary and proper
for school and church houses
and grounds and cemeteries. "
Many letters are being re-
ceived daily by members of the
Indian committees from those
in the several nations who have
been refused citizenship by
both the Dawes commission
and the courts. AS to whether
or not the question will be tax
on up by the committee and re-
opened remains to be seen.
One member of the committee.
in answering a letter of this
kind, made use of the following
laaguage:
Recognizing the difficulty

fair a tribunal as it could for
their settlement. with the right
Of appeal to the courts. The
Dawes commission has ruled.
Those who felt aggrieved ap-
pealed to the courts and their
decisions have been rendered
upon what they deemed TO be
grounds of equity and justice.
With these facts in view there
does not seem to be any dispo-
sition on the part of congress
to reopen the question or to
seek to modify the rulings of
these tribunals of its OVID Gre
alton"
The report of the agents of
the interior department on the
Creek warrant frauds, is still in
the hands of the secretary of
the interior.
One member today expressed
the opinion that a resolution
would likely be presented to
congress recalling the appro-
priation of the 100000 of the
Creek funds made at the last
session.
The report of Superintendent
Chas. d. Walcott, of the United
States geological survey, rela-
tive to the progress and status
of the Indian Territory survey,
is interesting and contains
many pithY facts. 1t states.
among other things, that it is
desirable to complete the sur
vey along Red river during the
winter that the surveyors may
escape the malaria of that sec
ton; that much more work has
been done by the survey than
was at first contemplated. the
additional work including the
iron monuments set at every
township corner. upon the brass
caps of which have been stamp
ed the township courses and
elevation above sea level as de-
termined by the running of
lines of spirit levels from the
base monument at Fort Smith,
Ark; that this work will neces-
state the setting of 1900 posts
and the running of 1000 miles
of spirit levels; that the cost of
posts has been $1,000 and of
spirit level lines, $50 that
instead of the usual number of
three copies of land Office plats,
there have been transmitted to
the general land Office twenty
copies, thus providing for fu-
tnre demands in connection
with the subdivision of land
and the settlement of land ques-
tions in the Indian Territory;
that the topographic map of the
Territory will be the best yet
made, and that il it had been
made independent of the regu-
lar survey, would have cost
$120,000; that it will be the best
and most elaborate in existence,
with the exception of that of
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
and Connecticut; that up to
this time there has been appro-
priated for the survey the sum
of $4,000, exclusive of the
Chickasaw nation. and that the
sum of $141 800 has been appro-
priated for its survey and that
the whole survey of the Indian
Territory is expected to be COM
pleted by July /, 1898.
From private letters it is
learned that Col. j. j. McAles-
ter. the coal and land magnate
of South McAlester, is On his
way to Washington to lay his
views as to mineral and town
site matters before congress.
Chairman Curtis, of the joint

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
iDfiamed condition of the mucou lin
ing of the EustachIan Tube. When
this tube gets mf1amed you have a
rumbiing sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf.
ness is the result, and unless the i'll
flammatioD can be taken ont and this
tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, winch is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucou sur-
