THOSE INDIAN NAMES.


There ls one tnlng on WHICH the
Indian Territory will have the pull
over Texas when she becomes
state, and that is the classical
names of communities and towns.
The Goingsnake district and the
Cooweescoowee communities have
no rivals in Texas. This applica-
ton of the classics to localities is
bound to make the country famous.
-Denison Herald.
Now if the esteemed Herald will
get map of the Cherokee nation
it will observe that Cooweescoo
wee is not community, but the
largest district in the Cherokee
country. 1t was named tor the
distinguished Chief John Ross,
who governed the Cherokees Tor
more than quarter of century,
being his Indian name. .-Ninlta
Chieftain.
Indian legendary lore goes be-
yond all this. Cooweescoowee
was the Ross name, but the writer
distinctly remembers the legend at
given by w. P. Boudinot, and the
name antedates the Ross family
but is connected with it only as
being appropriated through a
notable circumstance that occurred
long before the Cherokees came to
the Indian Territory.
II was when the first Ross cams
to this country. and among th'
first white arrivals of lot OF these
sturdy Scots that have by admlx
ture made the Cherokee tribe
wonderful combination OF sturd.
patriotism and cunning statecrait
There was one boat that LANDED
on the shores of Georgia. In thi
boat coming from wreck was to
first Ross that came to this coun
try. The Cherokees met him o.
. the beach. They were then at wa
with other tribes. 1t was deter

An Alligator Terrapin.
Some of the antiquities of this
country which find their way into
museums are rivaled in age by a
living creature at the zoo. 1t is an
alligator terrapin, or Mississippi
snapper, whose $50 pounds of sub
stance have been accumulated in a
lifetime of five centuries or more.
At least that is what the scientists
calculate, and they say that there is
no reason to doubt that it was pad
ding around as a little turtle in the
Mississippi when De Soto first gazed
upon that river. The giant terrapin
measures about s feet from snout to
tip Of tail, and during its residence
of seven or eight years at the ZOO it
has grown not a particle. 1t is too
lazy to move about much, and so
nature has endowed it with special
facilities for catching food. When
hungry. it lies in the water with its
mouth wide open, and: the bright

The Nationals are making
strong fight against the towns Of
the nation, The average National
candidate is IN favor Of repudiat-
ing the sale Of town lots by the
Cherokee Nation, and of ignoring
the equities in said lots held by
Cherokees who have bought and
improved them. The people OF
the towns should flock to the
Downing standard, as well as all
who want division of land and
title to the same. The National
party promises nothing that will
be beniicial to the Cherokee peo-
pie.

MISSISSIPPI CHOCTAWS.
Previous Citizenship Rulings Remain
unchanged.

When the Dawes Commission
began the work of taking the GEN.
sus of the Choctaw and Chickasaw
Indians they ruled that in order
to be enrolled as an Indian oil eth
er Of these nations the applicant
must be a resident OF these nations
at the time of filing applications.
A great many who have Indian
blood within the required degree
were rejected by the commission
because they were not bone nde
residents of these nations at the
time of tiliag their applications
for citizenship in '96. 1t has been
circulated throughout the country
that A. S. McKennon had been
called to Washington and that
while there the Department order
ed him to change the rule so that
if they were residents June 70,
1898, when the Curtis Bill went
into effect it was sufficient. The
commission stated to Capital re-
reporter that no such order had
been promulgated and that the
rule is the same they have been
working under. Hon. A. S. Me-
Kennon has just returned from
Washington and the only speclaf
instruction he brings back is that
the commission are not to enroll
any Mississippi choctaws; they
are simply to identy them as Miss
