Don't Suit the Secretary.

The special Washington cores
dent of the South McAlester Capt.
tai has the following in reference
to the Cherokee agreement:
The Cherokee treaty has been
sent to congress by the interior
department without any recon-.
mendation. The department has
left the ratification of the treaty
solely and absolutely to congress.
There are many features of the
treaty which are not satisfactory to
the secretary of the interior and
tie other officials; but the desire
to reach an agreement with the
Cherokees at the earliest possible
moment operated as balm and
accordingly they swallowed their
objections and sent the treaty in
without any official comment. 1t
is doubtful however, whether this
treaty will be ratified at this ses-
sion, although determined effort
will be made to secure action before
congress adjourns.

THE DRIFT OF A DAY,
BY RAMBLER.


Last Saturday l observed a COW
cred wagon with four horse team
to it passing through
Oklahoma the streets of this
or Bust. town. On the cover
was scrawled the le-
gend: "To Oklahoma or bust, by
Cd" The man inside evidently
felt perfectly safe with his wife and
children travelling with an open
insult to the author of his being en-
blazoned upon the sheet of his
wagon. Some morning the wife OF
that man will send one of those
little children to the home of some
preacher and meekly ask that he
be given Christian burial, and it
will be very embarrassing situa-
ton for the minister, but OF course
he will be expected to say that the
deceased was a man possessed of a
marvelously good character.
This reminds me of story OF
the great Spurgeon. Once as he
was passing along the streets he
saw man cutting stone with
chisel and swearing at almost every
stroke of the mallet. Mr.. Spur
geon stopped and remarked to the
man that he was very protane, and
asked him if he ever prayed, to
which the man answered that ne
did not and never expected to
Spurgeon took a piece of money
from his pocket and told the stone
cutter that he would make him {
present of it if he would promise
never to pray as long as he lived
to which the man assented. Tht
money was paid and the man wen

home to his family that night with
a troubled conscience. Finally he
took the money from his pocket
and threw it into the fire, told his
wife that it was "Judas money"
and that he could not bear to have
it in his pocket and that he could
not live without prayer.

the Texas Cattle Raisers' Associa-
ton, recovered so head of cattle
yesterday that we're worth about
100000. The cattle had been
stolen in Taney county, Mo-,
about year ago and had passed
from hand to hand until they came
to market. They were branded
with a D on the left hip and had
all kinds of ear marks. The cat
tie were recovered for the Lone
Star Commission Company who
are new members of the associa-
ton. The cattle were shipped
here from Atlanta, Kansas, and
presumably in the hands of inno-
cent parties. 1t will require a
suit at law to establish the claim
and in the meantime the money is
tied up awaiting the decision.
Inspector Toups has broken the
record by this capture.
During the first five days of the
present week quarantine cattle
offerings amounted to 305 cars.
Texas furnished 172 cars, the In
dian Territory 6, Mississippi 33
cars, Arkansas 81 cars, Louisiana
A cars, Alabama 2 cars and Ten.
nessee car.
The best price paid for Texas
and Indian Territory cattle this
week was $500 for | l,156-pound
steers from Grandview, Texas;
ST 50 for ,254.pound steers from
Adair, /. T., s4 65 for l ,0Sl.pound
steers from Bonham, Texas, and
s4.60 for 1,09l-pound steers from
Grandview, Texas.
During the week Texas and In
dian Territory beef steers 673 to
,254-pound average, sold in ex'
tremes at 1915 TO $500, the bulk
at 81. 10 to $3.50. All Of the cat.
tie were fed.
This week Texas and Indian
Territory cows and heifers were
rather scarce. They sold at full
range of S2.S5 to s4.00 and tht
bulk sold at $500 to 1925.

Through the solicitation of
friends and of prominent Chero-
KEGS all over the nation, Hon. E
NJ Landrum of Tahlequah, has
consented to take the initiative in
a movement having for its object
the erection of a suitable monu-
ment to the memory of "Sequo-
yah, the inventor of the Cherokee
alphabet.
This movement is peculiarly ap-
propriate at this time as the ma
.tion will no doubt soon exist only
in memory. Sequoyah was'one OF
the greatest geniuses the tribe has
produced in all the centuries OF its
existence' and certainly deserves
something to preserve his memory.
No more suitable person could be
selected than Mr.. Landrum, and
we hope to see him succeed. AT the
proper time we have no doubt but
that Vinita will be represented
and do her part in preserving the
name and memory Of the invent
or OF the Cherokee alphabet.
