Enid, o. T, Sept 23.-Captain ]. ]. S.
Hassler. receiver of the Enid land office,
and department commander of the G. A.
r. of Oklahoma, died ar about 10 o'clock
this morning at his residence in Enid.
Captain HassIer has been sick for about
a month with Bright's disease and for
the last few days was supposed 10 have
been improving, having been able TO go
out driving in the evening. He, however,
was taken worse early this morning and
soon became unconscious and passed qui-
city away. The Bar association of Enid
met at the probate court room this af-
ternoon at o'clock and committee was
appointed 10 draft suitable resolutions.
The body will be buried in the Enid GEM
terry. The funeral services will take place
Monday afternoon at O'Clock. His death
was a shock TO the citizens Of Enid
among whom he has lived so long. and
who. one and all. mourn his untimely
death.
Guthrie, o. T, Sept 23.-Hon. George D.
Orner, United States land office inspector.
who is visiting in Guthrie, today received
a telegram announcing the death of Cap
tain J. J. S. Hassler, receiver of the
United States land office at Enid.
To the public at large the death Of
Captain Hassler comes as an unexpected
shock His intimate friends. however.
for the past year have been aware OF his
falling health. the seriousness of which
was accentuated by two strokes Of apo
plexy, which for the past eight months
practically incapacitated him from per-
forming the duties Of his office. Captain
IIassler was appointed to his official po-
sition under the Cleveland a6ministra-
ton six years ago. when the Strip was
opened TO settlement. In the free silver
campaign Of 1895 he announced himself as
an uncompromising gold Democrat and
in the territorial campaign of last all he
came out squarely as a Republican. He
was an enthusiastic Grand Army man
and at the last encampment was elected
territorial commander.

Of education is what caused them to

Strs-In speaking Of the cases or the

will say that there is hardly a man liv-
ing now, today, who, at that time, knew
what the results were, and so, therefore,
it means no blame can be attached 10 the
young generation of the Cheyenne tribe
of Indians, or in any way trying to swim
die or deprive them Of what they have.
We are not afraid TO meet the cases.
Why? Because there is no evidence prov
ing US but liberty, and we know that no
law can compel US to lose our rights,
neither shall claims be made against our
tribal justice.

constitutional lawyer appointed by the

for our future welfare.
Don't the people know who is ''of the
people 10y the people and for the people,"
in their treatment of these primati tive own
ers Of America? Sir Mr.. Whiteman, If
I am right that there is no object under
heaven which can be brought against
these people, for you know that govern
ment of the people has owed the Indians
millions upon millions of dollars for value
received from the end Of the fifteenth

what more can my people do to be rec
ognized by the world, while the United
States, itself. is rich enough to progress
peacefully without further interference
with our rights? Sir let this grievance
be taken to the heart Of some charitable
organization and let them help US, and
guide our thoughts to be considered. |

IN FINE TRIM FOR FOOTBALL
Norman Eleven viii Meet the Rock
Chalk Boys on December

Guthrie, o. T, Sept. 23.-The admirers
Of athletic sports will be pleased TO learn
| that foot ball match has been arranged
between the teams representing the Uni
versity of Oklahoma and the Kansas
State University, the game TO be played
at Oklahoma City on December 9. The
Kansas athletes bear the reputation OF
being a hard proposition to go against
but just the same, the prediction is here
ventured that they will recognize the
fact that they have met something when
they come against the brawny young
sters from the Oklahoma university. In
anticipation OF this and similar events
interest in foot ball is lively among the
members of the team and student body.
Practice began the first day Of the term
and is being carried on vigorously. Rob
erts, Clapham, Tribbey, J. and F. Mer-
kle, Hefiey and Short of the '9S team,
and Smith OF the 81 team. are back in
the university. and there is a good deal
Of promising new material TO fill up the
gaps. The following is the schedule of
games as 1t stands at present: October
16, Oklahoma vs.. Kingfisher college. at
Norman; October p. Oklahoma VS. Uni
versity of Texas. at Dallas; November
+, Oklahoma VS.. Ottawa University of
Kansas. at Norman; November so, Okla
homa VS.. Arkansas City, at Norman; De-
cember 9, Oklahoma vs.. Kansas Univer-
sity, at Oklahoma iCty.
Regarding the educational outlook for
the university President Boyd writes:

o. year ago. The largest increase this
year is in the school Of pharmacy and
the college of arts. IN both the number
is almost twice what it was last year
at this time With the decided increase
in the departmental schools the higher
work has been sharply divided from the
work of the preparatory school. and the
latter, instead Of being, as IL was three
years ago, the chief department OF the
university. is now a subordinate school.
A number of changes in the building
have been made to accommodate the in
creased number of classes. An additional
room has been added to the library and
another TO the biological Laboratories. I
Fifteen hundred dollars worth of new
apparatus has been put in and 400 vol

pleted. The reason Of this hardness on
the part of the Usage annuitants in
coming forward to claim their money is
two-fold, as explained by the Usage
Journal: First, they stand back because
they have TO place their children in school
before they can draw their money, and.
second, many of them have so far over
traded their income that their checks
must go az once TO pay their debts. and
the paying of old debts with the Osages
is most unpleasant duty and one that
is not always performed. The Journal
suggests that It would be far better for
the Indians and also for the traders IL
the credit business could be entirely and
forever stopped.
