boarding at the Oxford hotel for some

was somewhat of surprise until to-

Lake called at the hotel and inquired
if Tobey was still boarding there.
She said that he had promised to
marry her some time ago, shortly
after he came to Topeka. When he
left Topeka she heard he had gone to
Hope, Kas., and followed him there.
He renewed his promise of marriage,
but disappeared the same day from
that town. This was a few days ago.
Thinking be had probably returned

that she was carrying revolver for
Tobey's benefit and also that her
father was keeping close to shotgun
for the same reason. No one here
knows Tobey's present address.

TARTAR Held Up.
10Th KANSAS DID NOT START

New YORK, Sept. ia Hong
Kong dispatch says; "Many serious
complaints have been made by the
discharged soldiers now on board the
transport Tartar, which repaired
here. These men declare that the
vessel is overcrowded, that she is in
bad sanitary condition and that the
supplies of food are not sufficient.
The officers in charge admit the gen
uineness Of some of these complaints,
but they declare that the discharged
soldiers crowded the ship on their
own accord, although they had OPP
ton Of remaining in Manila until the
next troop ship should sail.
1.-The condition Of the vessel will
seriously affect the health Of the re-
turning soldiers. There are 1900 Of
them on board being carried back to
to San Francisco.
"The Tartar which expected to sail
Tuesday has been detained by the
harbor authorities under the British
merchant shipping act, whereby her
capacity is limited to $50 passengers,
although the Tartar has a licensed
capacity of l,S4O. The authorities
have been discussing the matter all
day and it is very probable that 450
of the soldiers on board will be left
behind when she is finally permitted
to sail for San Francisco"

Luckyman is getting 5000 more
than an equal divide. Would you
say, friend Mode, that it is right
that he should have it? In other
words, that he has a right to it?
You do not; you can not; you dare
not, il you really have that nobility
of head and heart about you of
which you have been SO long well
known to be possessed.
But my friends, Bell, Starr,
Citizen, and all the rest-well, J.,
they remind US of a flock of hens
when possum gets onto the roost;
what fiuttering and cackling!
The articles by these gentlemen
are dwelling upon the scarey side
of the question. The drift of
their argument is this: "Vote for
the agreement, else take the Cur
tis law" But the argument is
fallacious and deluslve, so glaring
ly so that we can hardly believe it
to be sincere. There is no such
alternative as this before us. If
we reject this unrighteous agree
ment simply because We insist up
on fair and equal division of the
property, do you suppose the gov
ernment will hesitate TO grant us
our desires in this respect? We
have been ere edibly informed that
general appraisenent Of all the
lands at its real value was the ia
yorite plan Of the Dawes commits
sion; and that the absurd grading
system was an invention of the In
dian side OF the convention. Now
if this be so, we have much good
reason for believing that when the
people declare against this foolish
and inexcusable method of allot-
ment, the Indian committee of the
senate will readily recommend an
amendment in this respect to suit
the wishes OF the people.

UNITED STATES COURT.

The morning hour was consumed
in hearing motions in civil and
probate matters. W. H. Doherty,
of Grove made, final report and
settlement in the matter of the
guardianship of Jacob Splitlog and
was released from further obliga.
ton.
The trial of David Slade, charged
with assault with intent to kill,
was taken up and has consumed
the most of the day.
The grand jury made its final
report this afternoon and ad-
journed sine die. Sixty-fve in
dictments were returned.
The great weakness of the argu-
ment of those who oppose the
ratification of the treaty is that
they utterly fail to show how any,
thing better than the treaty can be
obtained. They content them
selves with attacking the weak
places in the treaty without sug-
gesting an alternative. One looks
in vain through their objections
for even hint at anything better.
Any intelligent man who opposes
the treaty either does so from
selfish motives or contrariness.
There is yet another class who
may vote against it because they
are simply ignorant of its pro-
visions.
Will Mayes, who is here attend
ing court, received letter from
Chief s. H. Mayes, today, giving

adian and Tahlequah. Against,
Saline. With the knowledge that
Delaware and Cooweescoowee
will surely bein the "for' column.
the victory may clearly be counted
as assured.
