The Right Kind Of a Girl.

There was a young man with a
little Indian blood in him who
brought his best girl with him to
take in the show. They came by
team and put up in one of the wa
gon yards, and then strolled out TO
see what they could see about the
town. The young man saw a
friend going into saloon, and he
excused himself every time as he
desired to see the friend on impOr-
tant business. He talked 80 much
that it was not very long before be
found navigation difficult and the
young lady discovered that he had
big load to sustain. She being

Quoted him back to the wagon
yard, induced him to go to sleep,
and then she went through him,
took his pocketbook and went to
the show. When it was over she
returned to the wagon yard and
found the young man still asleep.
She hitched up the team and start
ed off with her lover asleep in the
wagon bed. The proprietor OF the
wagon yard said that he never saw
more practical girl in his life

An ImpOrtant Law Nnit.

1t took the jury just fourteen
hours last Friday to decide the
suit growing out of a promissory
note in which there was rendered
verdict for the plaintiff. 1t
seems, according to the evidence,
that several years ago, T. +. Mea-
CHER gave note for $500 to some
parties in order to prevent them
from fencing in large pasture
around his farm, and which note
fell into the hands of J. E. Turner
and later into the hands of the
Commercial bank. The note has
been due for some time, but Mr..
Meagher refused to pay the same,
claiming that he had been coerced
into signing the note. The jury
held differently, and on last Fri
day rendered a verdict for the
plaintiff for 1862 and some cents as
the principal and interest on same.
A motion for new trial was fled
by the defendant, which has not
yet been argued. Phoenix.

A Warning to Cherokees.

J. R. Jewell, in charge of the
New York Indian agency, says in
his report to the Indian bureau of
the interior department, that after
careful investigation, he finds that
the funds of the Seneca Indian
nation are almost wholly absorbed
by the officers of the nation ,and
that they are in collusion with
white men for such purposes. The
history of the socialistic or COM
munity system has been the same
all over the world, and the Chero-
kee nation is nearing the same
disastrous end. 1t is time to call
q halt.-Fairland Bee.

In his report to congress, Indian
Agent Wisdom says: II have re-
ceived information that there is
liable to be an influx of negroes
into this Territory which may
assume alarming proportions and
provoke a racial issue to be de-
precated by every lover of law and
order. In Texas an organization
composed OF white men exclusively
has driven the negroes from small
towns to the larger ones OF that
state. The cities revolt at this
phase of the matter, and are
organizing committees of safety for
their own protection TO drive the
negroes elsewhere" Mr.. Wisdom
is right in his apprehension. The
negroes are coming here by hun
dreds, lots of them thinking they,
too, like the Indian freedmen, can
get lands free for homes from the
government. If the courts make
the Indians give their freedmen
the 40 acres each as stipulated in
the Curtis bill there is going to be
rocky times in the Territory for
few years.-Gainesville Hes

good people, and that he would
sanction bill looking to the pro-
viding of schools for the white
children of the territory. With
the Dawes commission recon-
mending a bill of this kind, the
secretary of the interior urging its
passage, and the president willing
to sanction it, there remains for
the educational forces of the terri
tory complete organization and
understanding, and a method de-
vised which will bring the needs
of the territory children before
members of congress. All educa-
tional interests that have an exis-
tence here should take this matter
up and treat is as live and burn
ing issue. Colleges and churches,
bar and medical associations, se-
cret societies, commercial clubs
and leagues, all should go to work,
and at once, while the signs are so
favorable, and bring this matter to
a focus. Any action taken by the
people will be heartily endorsed
by the Dawes commission, and
that commission will give every
possible assistance in its power to
further the cause of education in
this territory Capital.

Fourteen men who have renters

Delawares from whom they have

they were not getting enough for

fiDally gone out. Miss Knecht had
been i'll for many months but bore
her suffering with remarkable cour-
age. Loving hearts and kind hands
caring for her during the long days
and longer nights, prolonged a life
over which the Angel Death had hov.
cred for year. Months ago MISS
Knecht came to this city from her
home in Dayton, Ohio, in the hope
that the dry atmosphere OF Western
Kansas would bring back to her the
health she 80 longed for For a time
a marked improvement was noticed,
but too soon she and her friends real
lied that the end was near, and she
was taken back home to die. Miss
Knecht made warm friends Of all who
met her, as her sunny disposition and
many accomplishments drew every
one to her. After her return home
she seemed to improve, but soon fail.
