TO DYE A FAST BLACK.
With Diamond Dyes One Can Color
Black So That 1t VIII Not
Fade or Wash Out

1t is only within the last few years that
it has been possible for an inexperienced
person TO dye a black that would not
crock, fade or wash out. Even blacks
dyed by city steam dyeing establishments
were seldom reliable and fast.
The advent of three Diamond Dye Fast
Blacks-for wool. for cotton, and for silk
and feathers-has changed all this. With
a ten cent package of one Of these Dia-
mond Dye Fast Blacks the first trial gives
perfect success The directions on the
packages are so plain and simple that
even a child can get better results than
the experienced dyer of a few years ago.
Success n home dyeing IS secured only
when the Diamond Dyes are used. Do not
be persuaded by any dealer TO buy imita-
tons of the Diamond Dyes that have no
past record to recommend them. The
Diamond Dyes are the only warranted
colors for domestic dyeing.

DELEGATION OF INDIANS
From AnadarkO Go to see the Great
Father in Washington.

Anadarko. o. T, March 12.-CSpeciaL)-
A delegation of twenty-three Indians
of the Kiowa. Comanche, Apache, Wich-
tia and Caddo nations left this agency
Thursday for Washington to lay their
troubles before the Great White Father.
They will appear before Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs Jones to protest against
the the ratification of the treaty of 1852
When this treaty was signed by the Five
Tribes the Kiowas came TO the conclusion
that the terms of it had been misrepre-
scented 70 them and asked that it be re-
turned and proper changes made. The
matter was held in allegiance and the
agreement has never been ratified These
Indians ow nlands south of the Washita
river from which they derive large rev.
enue by leasing them for grazing purpo-
ses.
The main trouble is caused by a few
squaw-men who strive in every way to
make trouble for the agent, Major Frank
D. Baldwin, for it was through his efforts
they lost control OF the Indian lands.
These men are working day and night
trying to have the major displaced. but
such chiefs as Quanah Parker, Of the
Comanches; Ahpeaton. the Kiowa:
Apache Jim, the Apache: Towarcie Jim,
the Wichita and White Bread. the Caddo,
say the agent is all right and is their
friend and propose to stand by him and
have him retained.
