Where DO welcome Int

After all the efforts which have
been made to pass treaties and
prepare this country for more
prosperous state of affairs, 1t be-
gins to dawn on us that even il
the treaty does become the pre-
vailing law and the most favorable
allotment should be made under
the treaty, that even then the con-
dition OF the people within the
territory who are not interested in
the ownership of the lands, will
not in any way be improved. The
man who is land renter here is
now, and will remain, in about the
same condition as in the states,
with the exception, that in the
states he can send his children to
school at the public's expense.
Here he cannot send them at all,
unless he dwells within the limits
of some incorporated town which
provides for free schools. This
item alone viii serve to build up
good towns and even cities in
many portions Of the territory; but
it can never be of advantage to the
real poor tenant-which class are
largely in the majority in this
country, and their numbers are in
creasing rapidly-whose children
are growing to maturity without
any opportunity whatever for an
education. 1t is the duty of every
lover of liberty to cry aloud in be-
half Of these poor little children,
scattered all over this territory.
They are here, and it matters not
how they got here. The govern
ment is responsible for their edu-
cation. 1t is a useless waste Of
philanthropy to go beyond the
seas to bestow aims and educate

Hanging of Jim ohootaw i.

The hanging OF Jim Choctaw by
three men in the Spavinaw country
during the search for the body Of John
Morrison, is developing into serious
case. II was began yesterday in the
commissioners court and continued
today. One of the three Cherokees,
Sam Boney, who went to Choctaw's
house and took him out at night and
put a rope around his neck and threat
cned to hang him in order to make
him tell where the body Of John Nor
rison was, turned states evidence to-
day and related the whole circum-
stance.
Jim Choctaw's real name is Bird;
he has been somewhat noted whisky
peddler, and has been convicted twice
az 1T. Smith, and served two terms IN
the penitentiary for the same. Cook
has not been arrested, and Sam Boney
was held ia 5000 bonds and Berry's
bond was fixed at 81 900, and will have
to answer for the crime OF impcrson-
atIng an officer as well as the abuse Of
Jim Choctaw. The reward offered by
w. H. Morrison Of $500 for the tlud-
Ing Of his brother was doubtless the
cause Of the hanging Of Choctaw as

Cedar Rapids, H., May 1o.-One of the
worst cyclones that ever visited Iowa
passed over the eastern part of the state
Wednesday afternoon. 1t started d
mile south of Stanwood and travelled
in northeasterly direction, passing
over the northeastern part of Cedar
county, northwestern part of Clinton
county, and southeastern part of Jack
son county. No towns were injured,
but farmhollses and barns were torn to
pieces in the country districts. The
wires are down in every direction, and

meager details of the disaster. 1t is
estimated that not less than 25 persons
have been killed, and as many injured.

1t will be several months before she;
will be ready to be turned over to the:

would necessitate the putting on of q

night and day.
The Alabama is the first to be launched
of the three new battleships of her type, the
other two being the Illinois and Wisconsin.
She presents marked Emergencies Of design
from the first three, the Oregon, Indiana
and Massachusetts These differences in
volve both the arrangement of the battery
and the disposition of the armor as well as
a considerable increase in size and dis
placement.
The general dimensions Of the Alaba ma
class are as follows: Length over all, 374
feet: breadth, y feet: freeboard forward,
20 feet; freeboard abaft the after turret, 10
feet, inches; draught, 20 feet inches; dis
placement, 1880 tons. The guaranteed
speed is to be 16 knots, and the estimated
horsepower, 10000.
The main battery Of the Alabama type
consists of four 13-inch guns in turrets
and IA six-inch rapid-flring guns.
The secondary battery consists Of II
six-pounder rapid-tiring guns, six one
FOUNDER rapid-iring guns and four Cat
lings
On the whole the armament armor and
speed Of the Alabama with displacement
Of 1850 tons compares favorably with the
