Stopping the Paper.

A Pennsylvania editor thus relates the
mishaps Of farmer in that State who
stopped his paper:
"A man got mad at the editor and
stopped the paper. In a few weeks he
sold his corn at cents less than the
market price Then his property was
sold for taxes because he didn't read the
sheriff's sale. He paid $40 for a lot Of
forged notes that had Deen advertised
two weeks and the public warned against
them. He then rushed to the printing

Office and paid several years subscrip-
ton in advance and had the editor sign
an agreement that he was to knock him
down II he ordered his paper to be stop
ped again."
That may have occurred in the old
Keystone State, but it could not have
happened in Kansas, for Kansas farmers
are too wise to stop their papers.

UNITED STATES COURT.

The morning hour in Judge
Springer's court today was devoted
to hearing motions in cases of
default.
The trial OF the Coon brothers,
from near Claremore, charged with
stealing cattle, has occupied the
attention of the court today.
Ernest Stevens was fined S25.
and sentenced to one hour in Jail,
charged with aggravated assault.
He pleaded guilty and paid the
fine.
The jury in the larceny case
against W. G. Cooper, tried
yesterday, have been unable to

THE LAST ACT.

In the beginning of the struggle
a few weeks ago, THE CHIEFTAIN
opposed the appointment of a
com mission on the grounds that
the chances for making a better
treaty than already existed in the
Curtis law were slim. The policy
of THE CHIEFTAIN has been to
steadfastly stand upon the law
and the treaties, and cling to the
unimpaired title to the lands of
the Cherokee nation. This would
have left US in the hands of the
Curtis law, or such portions of it
as should stand the test Of the su-
preme court of the United States.
But the commissions have made
an agreement that is IN many
ways very satisfactory, and on the
whole much better than the
Curtis law. There are some very
glaring weaknesses in the agree
ment just completed, but it will
never be possible to make better
one. The labor of the Cherokee
commission just ended at Musko-
gee demonstrates the fact that the
problem is a hard one and that
many of the difficulties are insur-
mountable.
1t is the duty of every citizen Of
the Cherokee nation to consider
we'll this agreement, and to take a
broad, patriotic view of the whole
question. Ii the agreement is good
for the masses Of Cherokee citizens
it should be ratified, and if it is
not it ought to be defeated at the
election. No race prejudice should
enter into the consideration of this
great question. No unreasonable
sentiment should be allowed to
sway the judgment of any voter.
The campaign will be short, sharp
and decisive. Within less than
two weeks the battle will have
been fought and the fate Of the
treaty forever settled. If ratified,
it means the dawn Of new era in
this country; if defeated it means
the slow and tedious contention of
the weak against the strong, a
long. g.drawn, hopeless struggle that
will surely end in defeat for the
Indians.
There is deep sense of pathos
in the reluctant acquiescence OF
the representatives Of the Chero-
kee nation in the final abolition of
their nationality that dates back
in song, and story, and legend, in.
to the twilight of antiquity. The
foremost tribe Of that peculiar race
Of red men found roaming the for
ests of North America four hundred
years ago, is at last yielding to the
onward sweep Of civilization.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-01-19

A poll Of the grand jury yester.
day revealed the fact that all the
members were in favor Of the rat
ification of the agreement. All
the members are Cherokee citizens.
The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-01-19
A Settlement Desired.

In considering the treaty with a
view of voting intelligently upon
it, the citizens of the Cherokee
nation should not lose sight Of the
fact that the possibility of making
better one is very remote. The
Cherokee nation has been plum
dered so long and so persistently
by her own citizens that most any
kind of settlement that is to be
final, is better than remaining ex-
posed continually to the rascally
leaders who are always in the
saddle. The Cherokees have
needed protection from their own
thieving leaders more than from
the inroads of the United States
government. The settlement Of
fered in the treaty will at least be
final if it is not just and equitable.
The suspense that has hung
over this country for years is tell
ing upon the temper Of the Chero-
kee people and the majority are in
favor of most any sort of perma-
nent settlement of their property
interests. A fair division of land
and money in every instance is a
physical impossibility, it seems
from the experience Of all the
commissions that have ever at
tempted it. The average Chero-
kee has reached a point where he
is exceedingly anxious to know
where his future home is going to
be and that it belongs to him indi-
vidually.

FEDERATION
Work of the Convention at Detroit
Convention.

Detroit, Dec. ia resolution rec.
ommending members OF labor bodies t.
use their election ballots independently
Of predominating political parties wa:
adopted today by the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, after first eliminating
the declaration Of suspicion against
labor men who might advocate the in.
terests of the present political parties
A provision for submitting the question
to a referendum vote OF all affiliated or
CARNATIONS was also stricken out.
A resolution uurging the union labor
men more closely to define their crafts,
mems duties was warmly argued upon
as being one of the most important and
pressing questions before the world of
labor. Among the speakers was P. J.
Mcclure. He held the resolution in
sufficient to cover the matter. since it
contained nothing to prevent trades or
CARNATIONS from claiming jurisdiction
over branches Of employees not strictly
of their W calling. He doubted
whether the question could be settled
by the convention.
Secretary Frank Morrison depreciat,
ed the idea of the convention trying to
dictate where the work of the various
crafts began and ended.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on organization, pending re-
ports from the grievance committee as
to similar troubles. An action was I'm,
animously taken toward bridging the
chasm between the rival painters or
CARNATIONS. The executive council di-
rected a call of a joint convention of the
two 'belligerents within six months, a
special committee of three to be ap-
pointed to act with the joint meeting
and finally settle the questions on
which they have failed to agree, a new
charter to be issued to the new nation
al organization, and the charter of the
present federal body to be revoked i'm
mediately after it is adopted, as fol-
lows: Protesting against the use OF
government employees (marine band)
for private purposes; endorsing the
eight hour demand of the boilermak-
ers; directing the president of the fed
Grafton to lobby against convict labor
laws; for the election of senator's by
popular vote; directing the executive
council to confer with the cracker bak-
ing trusts in an effort to induce them
to recognize union labor; for the ap-
pointment of the mex mining inspector
of Missouri from the ranks Of the zinc
and lead miners: denouncing anti-tick,
ct scalping laws; favoring a national
law for reducing the hours of labor; d.
recting the executive councillors to rep
resent the federation at the meetings
of the various branches Of railway en-
ployes with a view to a closer alliance
with the federation.

A NEW TIMBER DESTROYER.
Worms Rae Pine Forests-l5O Square
Miles Destroyed.

A report m from the north that
people living in the Black hills are be-
coming alarmed at the destruction OF
the pine timber by a little worm which
made its appearance about two years
ago. Recently the government sent In
spector G. A. Steele of Portland. Ore
gon, TO investigate the matter. Mr..
Steele estimates that $50 square miles
of the heaviest pine pine timber has
been already been totally destroyed in
the W years time by these worms.
Where the insect came from no one
knows, but it is increasing at such an
alarming rate that the government
will take hold of the matter Immediate
ly. The worm is about three quarters
of an inch long and a quarter of an inch
thick, and travels in packs" The
worms start at the outer bark of a tree
and o bore through and drink up the
sap, which kills the tree.
There is at present no remedy
known that will destroy them; in fact
they are an entirely new insect to the
department at Washington. An at
tempt will probably be made to inocu-
late the worms and kill them off in this
manner. The woodpecker will devour
the insects whenever it can find them,
but there are not enough birds to go
around.

MOONS ECLIPSE
AN INTERESTING ASTRONOMICAL
PHENOMENON TO OCCUR
TONIGHT.
Will Be Visible in Nearly All Civilized
Countries-Dr H. A. Howe Of Dem
yer, the Eminent Astronomer, De-
scribes the Event-Eclipse Begins
This Afternoon at 4:45.

This evening come IN eclipse of the
moon which will be almost total. says
DR.. II. A. Howe. the astronomer of the
University of Denver, in the Rocky
Mountain News today.
1t will be visible in nearly all civil
lied countries. In the extreme west
ern portion of this continent the COM
mencement will not be visible, because
the moon will not have risen at the
time when the darkness of its surface
begins.
The sun shining upon the earth
causes a long conical shadow of that
length Of the shadow being on the aver
age S57 900 miles. As the moon circles
around us, taking a month for each
trip, it usually passes owe or below
the shadow. On the occasions when it
passes through the shadow it suffers
eclipse. For it radiates no light of it's
own and simply reflects on the light
Of the sun; if the sunlight is shut off
by the intervention Of solid earth. the
moon becomes dark, and we say thai
it is in eclipse. Usually the moon does
not disappear from sight entirely. For
many sunbeams push their way
through the envelope of air which sur
rounds the earth, and are bent by it
out Of their course, and caused to fall
upon the moon, lighting it up some
what, and giving it a reddish hue. In
rare cases where clouds effectually OBJ
struct the passage of the sunbeams, the
moon becomes visible. In some in,
stances so much sunlight gets through
that the noon is finely lighted up, and
simply looks somewhat DINNER and
redder than usual.
On the evening in question the 400
rises about half past 4, its rising point
being over one-third of the way from
the east point of the horizon to the
north point Of the same. At 4:45 p. m.
the eclipse is to begin; a slight dark
notch then commences to form on the
left-hand edge Of the moons disc, one,
fourth Of the way from the extreme
left-hand point down to the lowest
point Of the periphery. The notch grad
noon is enveloped in the shadow, the
eclipse being most nearly total at 6:28
p. m. At this time only a very small
portion, at the right of the lowest point
80 tlo Isrn ryt1l hp ,-oa1t~,~ 4H
this the bright part increases at the
expense of the eclipsed portion until
8:06:42 p. m, when the last vestige Of
the main shadow will have passed off.
The noon will still be in what is called
the penumbra of the shadow, so hat
it will not be Of its full brightness, but
in a few minutes no evidence of the
eclipse will be apparent, though the
moon does not emerge from the pen
umbra until nearly 9:19 p. m.
The phenomenon is more beautiful
to the naked eye, or with IN opera-glass
or spyglass. than with a large tele-
scope, in which one cannot see the en-.
tire moon at once. II the weather be
clear the eclipse will be watched at the
Chamberlain observatory, but it is not
expected that anything of popular in
terest will develop during the course Of
the observations. The moo will be so
near the horizon during a large part Of
the time that telescope observations of
value will be quite difficult.
