School for the Blind.
To the general public:

To the general public:
In behalf of the pupils of this
institution, in behalf of the many
who have knocked at our door for
admission, but whom we have
been financially unable TO receive,
in behalf of the blind and deaf
mute Indians and whites of the
entire Indian Territory, We ear
nestly and prayerfully make tie
following request:
That all christian people in this
land and country, and all persons
who feel an interest in the fur
therance and ultimate success of
this much needed work, make Us
a Christmas offering, either Ct
money, provisions or supplies Of
any kind, to aid in the further
support Of this Institution, and
we make a special appeal TO al
the ministers of the different de-
nominations who have charge
of churches in the various towns
and cities Of the territory and
neighboring states, to urge the
members of their congregations,
sunday schools and different
church organizations, to make a
self denial Offering at Christmas
time, to assist in the carrying for
ward of this educational work for
the blind and deaf Indians and
whites of this territory. Cast
thy bread upon The waters, and
after many days thou shalt find
it" Give literally to this insti-
tuition, now, in its hour Of great
need, and in the future when we
have succeeded in getting it upon
a firm financial basis, supported
by the government, you will dou-
bly, realize the truth Of the scrip
ture which says, "Itismore bless
ed to give than 10 receive" "

The Cherokee national council
did not adjourn last Saturday as
was hoped by about $1,000 Cbero-
Eee citizens, but concluded to
hammer away another week, and
do as much damage to the interests
of the Cherokee people as possi-
bic. Outside of the employment
Of Judge Springer as attorney,
their work has been pretty much
of failure, and much of it will
prove an absolute de,iiment. The
people ought 20 petition the pres
ident of the United States TO not
allow a delegation Of four, and an
interpreter, to 60 to Washington
this winter at the expense of the
Impoverished Cherokee people. |
Judge Springer was employed to |
look after all the interests of the !
Cherokees and will do all that can
be done. The sending of an ad-
ditional delegation there now at
an enormus expense Is a shameful |
outrage upon a patient and help |
less people. Such acts are iufam- /
Gus and ought TO be branded such /
by the whole Cherokee people
1t is hoped congress, the interior
department or the president viii

priaiion against this wanton and ]
needless eXpsndiLure of money.

TAHLEQUAH LETTER.
No Delegation yet 81, 300,
900 Claim Again.
Tahlequah. 1T. Dec. 16. ls99.

Tahlequah. I T. Dec. It. 1883
The principal chief nominated
and the senate today confirmed the
nomination of Thomas F. Wagnon
as superintendent OF steward OF
the insane asylum.
Chief Burlington today recon-
mended that some action be taken
with reference to the collection of
the 81, 100000. Trasher instantly
introduced his bill in the house
proposing to pay so cents on the
dollar for the claim and offering to
put up $4,000 forfeit that he
will pay for it within four months
after the act authorizing the sale
is approved by the president. Gov.
Troutman left for Kansas and
made no proposition. The prop
osition of Wiley o. Cox is now be-
fore the house. He wants 10 per
fat for the collection and asks un-
til March 4, 1901, to fulfill his
contract. In the event of failure,
all expenses shall be paid by Cox.
As both houses sat down on these
proposals during the regular ses-
sion, is is expected that they will
again be rejected.
The chief has not named the
delegation yet and the council will
not instruct the delegates until
they see them. The slate seems
to be L. B. Bell, Percy Wyly,
Charles Scott and David Hitcher.
The vote on confirmation is close
in the senate, but il is expected
that the delegation will be made
Monday. 1t is generally conceded
that L. B. Bell will be one of the
lucky ones.
Now that Judge Springer is our
resident attorney at Washington,
it will be a useless expenditure of
the peoples money to send large
delegation, when he can do US
as much good as a hundred del
egates. Why let out the 81, ,300,-
900 claim when we have already
employed Shelley, Butler & Mar
tin to collect it, and we have res
ident attorney in Washington?

his hoardings During the scuffle the
old man called for help and the two
men pushed a potato into his mouth.
