An Ohio Convict Is Going Through
One of the Late II. III. Holmes
Experiences.

Angelo del Beilo, prisoner in the
penitentiary at Columbus, o., is un-
dergoing facial changes similar to
to those experienced by Fl. II. Holmes,
the Chicago fsnd. The prison ply
sicians have noticed something pc
euliar about Del Bello within the last
few weeks, though for a time they be-
lieved they were under sr optical IL
lusion. But repeated observations
have confirmed them in the belief that
Del Bello's face is actually changing
form and shape. The left side of the
mans face seems to be caving in, while
the right side is bulging out, and the
mouth is gradually moving toward the
right ear. On one side Del Bello looks
like an ordinary man. On the other
side all the meanness with which his
nature is filled comes to the surface.
Del Bello is the latest wearer of the
title ''prison demon, having complete
" dethroned Ira Marlatt, who wore
that title for years, until subdued by
Warden Collins unvarying kindness.
Marlatt, however, became a demon be
cause he believed he was unjustly i'm
prisoned and unjustly punished, and
he protested against this in the most
effective manner he knew. Naturally
a man of violent temper, he became
prison terror.
Del Bello made his trouble from a

fly in due time before reaching the
falls. After awhile the time came
for him to rise as the cake of ice
was nearly to the precipice; he
lunged forward and spread his
great wings but could not rise
his feet were frozen in the wool of
the carcass upon which he was
feasting, and in another moment
he was dashed to death over the
roaring cascade. An apt illustra-
ton of the man or woman who
gets the idea that the only thing
worth striving for in this world is
money. As we enter the new year

FROM THE MISSIONS
A Few Notes from the Center
of Interest.

Capt. A. S. McKennon of the
Dawes commission left Muskogee
Saturday for his home in Arkan
sas, where he will spend few
days and return Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Sargey Sanders and Wolf Coon,
of the Cherokee commission, at
tended a fullblood meeting at
Tahlequah Saturday and intended
to join the commission at Musko-
gee today.
C. V. Rogers, J. E Gunter and
H. C. Lowrey spent Sunday at
their homes.
1t is said that Dave Muskrat
and some other fullbloods are at
Washington trying to keep the
Curtis bill, and the Cherokee COM
mission is at Muskogee trying TO
get rid Of it.
Chief S. II. Mayes has been with
the Cherokee commission, giving
them many valuable suggestions.

TREATY OR CURTIS BILL

Much anxiety is felt as to the ulti-
mate outcome of the present nego-
tiatiOns with the Dawes commits
sion. Iftne time allowed for COM
pleting the work expires and no
agreement is made we will simply
be in the hands of the Curtis bill.
While there are some very unsat-
isfactoTy features of the Curtis bill,
on the whole it is not damaging TO
the Cherokees. There are many
incoBveniences in the Curtis bill,
and portions of it are undoubtedly
unconstitutional and therefore will
never be enforced.
The rule of the department oI
the interior restricting the holding
OF land to so acres to each CherO'
kee is not far wrong when the fer,
tility of the land is taken into con-
sideration, as so acres is perhaps
as much tillable land as can be
found per capita.
Unless there is a radical change
in the views of the two commits.
sions there will be no agreement
reached. The time is now 81
short that the separate PROPOSE.
tions would have to be agreed tC
very rapidly in order to ger
through.
The fulibloods are constantly
writing letters to their representa-
tIves on the commission urging
them to steadfastIy refuse TO treat
which is having a retarding effec
upon the Negotiations. There is {
general feeling that the fullblOodi
will be able to defeat the ratifca
ton of any treaty that is made.

That COlieyVille Road.

1t is difficult to ascertain the
facts in regard to the proposed
extension OF the Coffeyville road
into Oklahoma, but we get from
pretty high authority the following
as the real status of the extensi on:
By some means money was
raised to grade, or partly grade
the road to Bartlesville, in the In
dian Territory. A proposition
was then sent to the Santa Fe
to take the road of the hands OF
the projectors, which required the
Santa Fe to furnish the iron. The
Santa Fe officials thought favor
ably of the proposition, and sent a
representative to look over the
road and examine the coal fields
south of Bartlesville about thirty
miles. The Santa Fe representa-
tive reported tavorably provided
the road was graded at once to the
coal fields which lie twelve or
fifteen miles north Of Tulsa on the
Frisco. The local company, il
seems, was not able to do more,
and so all the work stopped and
the Santa Fe pursued the matter
no futher.
The Santa Fe had not intimated
that it intended TO do more than
aid in building to the Wild Horse
coal fields.-Times Journal.

GLOOMY PROSPECT AHEAD.

A sigh of relief will 60 up from
the people of the Cherokee nation
when the commission now in ses-
sion reaches an agreement with
the Dawes commission, or failing
in the effort, expires by limitation
of law on the evening of the l4th
instant. There is a wide spread
belief among Cherokee citizens
that no agreement will ever be
reached as a result Of the present
negotiations. The feeling is also
general that should an agreement
be consummated that it would be
rejected when submitted to a pop
ular vote of the Cherokee people.
The fact has developed that the
division of the land would best be
left to an outside and a disintsr-
ested commission for settlement.
The fact has developed that
nearly if not quite all leading,
intelligent Cherokees have per-
sonal interests in the final divis-
ion of the lend which they are not
able to overcome.
The people of the Cherokee ma
ton are less and less afraid of the
Curtis bill that has been held up
to them as the acme Of evil legis-
lation. This sentiment has been
engendered in part by the absurd
proposition made by our commits
sion to the Dawes commission a
few days ago pertaining to the al
lotment of land. The sober,
thoughtful Cherokee cannot fail
to recognize in that proposition
the great danger that menaces the
common Indian in the matter OF
The final allotment of his land land
to prefer rather TO leave himself
and his people in the hands of the
Curtis bill than TO risk the con-
summation of so unjust plan Of
the division of an estate in which
all are alike entitled to share.
The talk of cutting the freedmen
down to 40 acres is the merest idle
chatter, never considered seriously,
and only a sop thrown to the full
bloods to gain their aquieseence in
formulating an agreement.
That the full-bloods will vote
solidly against any agreement that
can be made there seems TO be lit
tie doubt. In the first place they
are opposed to the whole scheme,
and all their natural tendencies
are averse to every proposition
submitted looking to allotment
and final abolition of their tribal
autonomy. In the second place
the plan urged does not comport
with a full-blood Indians sense ot
justice and equity Al! these con-
ditions are patent to every one al
all posted as TO the traditions Of
the Cherokees and no man can sec
in the immediate future anything
but unrest and chaos, and ii does
not take prophet to foresee the
overwhelming rejection Of any
treaty that the present commission
can make.
