The new arrangement, Whereby
Uncle Sans agents handle all the
Indians revenue has tendency to
befuddle the fnaDciers who in the
past have manipulated tribal Sc
curities. Uncle Sam is wont to
encircle good deal of red tape
about little matter like the paw
ment of few hundred thousand,
and he is 10th to give much lsti-
tude to the Spectator or manipu-
lator. Perhaps, in 10 particular
so much as in the manner ofhand-
ling the Indians funds, has the
new law been CALLING to the old
crowd who he'd their fingers in the
tribal strong-box and in no way so
beneficial to the citizens at large:
Thousands and thousands of the
Indians funds, in the years that
are gone, have been needlessly
and unlawfully squandered-to
say nothing of the million or SO
that has literally been stolen. Un.

COMMENT OF THE CRAFT.
What the Leading Territory
Papers Say Of the Chief
tain's Libel Suit.

Judge Springer discharged the
petit jury at Vinita Tuesday even
ing, the libel case against The
Chieftain concluding the trials by
jury at this term of the court at
that place. The verdict of the
jury in this case sustains The
Chieftain so far as making an un-
just attack on the character of any
one is concerned. The paper took
q bold but conservative stand in
the matter and victory can be
claimed for it. because it is evi
dent that the jury thought that no
ones character had been damaged
by the publication in The Chief
tain or it would have rendered a
verdict for the damage of more
than s5. To say the least, the
item in the paper amounted to
very little with the jury or the
character of the party was consid.
cred OF very small value. Wagon

THE TALE OF AN OYSTER.
Some Have no Tales, but
Those Here Mentioned
Are Not That Kind.

Speaking Of gun fints reminds

a New York firm with a big trade
4 oil over this broad land of freedom,
but one of the oldest things ever
fell into and got safe out Of without
calling for the police or resorting to
life preserver occurred down in
Harper's Ferry, which, notwith-
standing half of the letters to sum-
mer visitors there are addressed by
loving friends to either Harper's
Ferry, Nd, or Harper's Ferry, Va,
is really in West Virginia and has
been since 1853, though for 11s years
previous to that date it was in Vir-
ginia.
"Oh, yes" he continued in re-
sponse to query, tits the same old
place where John Brown dropped a
cog in October, 1859, and less than
six weeks later old Governor Wise
put the specs upon his eyes and sent
him to the happy land of Canaan

you're getting me off the subject.
What ! wanted to talk about hasn't

Chambers, when the train stopped

something or other, if there was
place in the three states where | |
could get bite of oyster meat. He
pointed out the little restaurant and |
told me the restaurant man was a |
friend of his, and he also served
oysters in every style.
THAT was enough for me, and I
toddled along that way and slipped
in to see what there was to be had.
The boss of the cookery was man
that suffered, and he was apparent
ly q serious kind of man besides,
which all suffering men are, more
or less, l believe. He did not have
the most inviting place l ever saw,
but an oyster under certain circum-
stances is as safe as an egg, and !

Domitian would place boys in the circus at
a considerable distance from him. and as
they held up their hands with the fingers
outspread, he would send the arrows be-
tween them with such nicely and accuracy
of aim that he never inflicted wound.
The wicked Emperor Commodus hoasted
that he never missed his aim or failed to
kill the wild beast that he shot with a
single arrow. He would set a shaft in his
bow as some wild beast was set free in the
circus to devour living criminal condemn

was springing on his prey the emperor
would strike II dead at the mans feet.
Sometimes enc hundred lions were let loose

TrOu bic at NIelrOSe.

A special dispatch to the Minneapo-
lis Journal says that a row which
luckily did not terminate in murder,
occurred Monday night. One man is
in Jail and another very feeble from
loss of blood. On Sunday, Henry
Tenyon of Meters Grove, and Herman
Weibel, who lives in Melrose town
ship, came to town and filed up with
"booze." Some time in the evening
they, in company with several others,
crossed the river to Hammisch's brew
cry and there continued their drinking.
Some words passed between Tenyon
and Weibel. The latter pulled keen
bladed jackknite and went at Tenyon
like crazy man. He cut deep cash
in Tenyon's scalp, another in the lip,
one in the chest and two in the arm,
while there are more than dozen cuts
in the clothing. ranging from an inch
and half in length to six inches.
After considerable difficulty Tenyon
got away from his assailant, with
blood gushing from numerous wounds.
Weibel was arrested and will have to
answer to assault with a dangerous
weapon.
