The history of this 81, 600, 900
claim. as a factor in our Cherokee
affairs. is not only unfortunate,
but exceedingly disagreeable to
the national name of the Cherokee
people. 1t has perverted the leg
islatiye mind; it has absorbed the
executive attention to the neglect
of the better interests Of the peo-
pie; it has stimulated into excess
sive activity the depraved ingen-
uity Of jobbery' and speculation; it
has damaged che standard of pub
lie morals within our nation, and
has furnished motive for unholy
cupidity abroad.
Some years ago this claim was
let out for collection to General
Butler of South Carolina, at a fee
Of five per cent, neat little sum
of $500, goo; this was some four or
FIVE years ago. The arrangement
was made with Mr.. Butler by Mr.,
Mayes, our present chief execu-1
tive. Long, long, has been the
time since this job was thus "salt-
ed down, = and all these years not
syllable has ever been heard re-
porting progress in the work Of
collection; while, from session to-
session Of the national council, re-
peated applications have been
made for an increase Of the fee,
from FIVE to ten, to fifteen, or even
twenty per cent. General Butler
says the fee is not large enough;

a Disease Battling Medical
Skill to Cure.

bon) which was prevalent among
the horses and mules in the sec
tion southwest OF here q few weeks
ago may break out again, possibly
something in reference to it may
not be amiss. On account of its
frightful mortality this is one Of
the most dreaded diseases that
attack the brute creation. 1t usu..
ally occurs in the form Of an epi-
demic, and an outbreak oft means
certain destruction to large pro-
portion of herbivorous animals in
the path Of its march. Horses,
mules, cattle, sheep and goats are
theinvariable sufferers. It's progress
is so rapid that stock owners rare
ly have time to adopt measures Of
relief when the disease has once
made its appearance in the vicini-
ty, and its ravages are so terrible
that absolute bankruptcy often
follows in its wake. As a rule
the disease breaks out in June,
July or August, just at the time
when horses and mules are most
needed, although it may appear at
either an earlier or later period.
Anthrax Ia also communicable to
man and this adds greatly to it's
terrors. Ii is germ disease, the
germs entering the body usually
with food, but sometimes through
sores or scratches in the skin.
The germs are very hardy and live
in the soil for number of years
and are communicable in an al
most interminable numb Der OF ways,
as may be imagined. Therefore
all carcasses should be burned as
soon as the animal dies, and with
out moving it from the spot where
it died if possible.
Anthrax is SO infectious, SO con-
tsgious and so fatal disease that
once it appears in herd total
loss may result. It is incurable
and recoveries are very rare.
The treatment is most unsatis-
factory; in fact, there is no cure
for anthrax. Itcannot, like Texas
fever for instance. be checked or
prevented by quarantine, as the
germ, if not already there. finds
its way to.a farm, ranch or plan
tation in sometimes the most un-
accountable way. II would appear
at times to the uninitiated that the
pasture had been poisoned. The
only way Of combating anthrax is
- prevent it by vaccination. II is
we'll known how human beings
are protected from smallpox by
vaccination. Mules, horses, cat
tie, sheep and goats are in the
same way protected by Pasteur's
anthrax (charbon) vaccine. Pas
teur's vaccine was FIRST put to
practical use in France. and its
employment has during the last
twelve years gradually extended
TO every civilized country Of the
world. About twenty millions Of
animals have been successfully |
vaccinated, and thereby protected
against this disease during the
last few years, and the saving ef-
fected runs into millions Of dollars.

in the general whirl OF our Cher
okee affairs which deserves some
serious attention.
What are these men doing?
What are they driving at? 1t is
said thatthey are collecting their
counsels and preparing the neces-
sary proceedings to contest the
election of T. M. Burlington; that
is all right enough. If Mr.. Buff
ington's election is illegal and un-
fair, it is right that he should be
denied the chieftaincy by the pro-
per tribunal. But that is not the
question; what is ii in such pro-
ceeding that should draw these
men to Kansas City2 What juris-
diction has KansasCity or any ofits
magnates, in matters pertaining to
the contest of elections in the
Cherokee nation? 1t is noticeable
that Mr.. Coon was mum bered in |
this delegation; be was the defeat
ed candidate, and is to be the |
complainant in the contest pro-
ceedings. How is it that. in his

back upon his faithful Indian con

arms of a little knot of strangers?
How is all this? How is it that,
when they return, they wink
about significantly and mysier-
iously, and say they have got 1t all
fixed; that something awful is
brewing up there somewhere, and
that ere long, it is to be expected,
q tornado Of upheavals, reversals,
and restorations, etc, will roll
down upon US as the result of their
masterful contriving? If these
men have done anything, or are
doing anything, in conspiracy with
any junta of white men at Kansas
City. it is important that the Cher
okee people, especially the friends
of MIR. Coon who stood firmly by
him during the campaign. should
know little something as to the
real nature of the job.
What are these men working af-
ter? Did they run their part Of

The town of Malacca was In 1907 par

Wales island, or Penang, then newly
founded, might increase in Importance.
When the East India company arrived at
that decision, 1t was arranged that Malao
ca should be abandoned and that the staff,
stores and population should BIO removed
to Penang. Orders were sent out in 1905
to dcmolish the fort, and tho intention of
the Penang authorities was ''to gradually
transfer to Prince Of Wales island the
trade and capital of Malacca together with
the most valuable part Of the population. "
For time, however, Penang did not re-

A Wicked Parrot.

A parrot that had grown old and gray
and wicked was the property of mon
who was delighted by the bird g nncanny
speeches and yet was often annoyed by
their rudeness. One day the rector Of the
parish came to call on the owner, and the
bird happened to be in the room. The
pastor was short, fat man, with q
smooth face, a clerical coat and q white
tie.
For time the bird was quiet but sud.
denly, after some personal experience, re-
lated by the Clergyman, the wretched crea'
ture squawked out, "Oh, what lie!"
OF course Polly was punished, and
severely, too, and for a time seemed to
mend her wicked ways.
One day friend Of the family from out
of town came to make visit. As soon
as he caught sight Of Polly he at once tried
to make friends with her. He was a
short, fat man, with smooth face, and
Polly looked ut him with her head cooked
on one side in decidedly wicked fashion.
But she didn't say word.
Finally no turned away, and then that
naughty parrot shrieked after him:

Lady Ripon told mo that Immediately
before tho Boulogno attempt Louis Napo-
leon was occupying her fGther-in-law 5
house in Carlton Gardens. A housemaid
who had been left by the family kept
writing to them that these foreigners were
clearly up to some mischief Largo guam
titles of arms were, she said, being brought
into the house, and they had also got a
tame eagle, who was taught to perch upon
cooked hat by having a piece Of meat
placed upon it. This creature was usually
kept below, but was sometimes, which
the housemaid considered highly inappro-

were treated as of no consequence, but
