Tahlequah, l. T., Dec. t, W
The last week of the Cher
okee legislature promises to be the
most interesting of all. The ques-
ton of the collection of the claim
of 81, 100000 against the United
States is a matter of great interest
and many eminent attorneys are
on the ground among whom are
Gov. James T. Troutman, of han-
sas, Wiley o Cox, of Kansas City,
William Reed Trasher, of New
York City, and Robert L. Owen,
of Muskogee and others too mum
srous to mention, besides these
are the Cherokee lobbyists, OF
whom Vinita furnishes a few.
GOV. TroUtman submitted a
proposition TO collect the claim for
| 5 per cent Of the first two million
dollars collected and six per cent
| for the balance. Robert l.. Owen
and Wiley o. Cox have not sub
mitled their proposition yet.

now u for consideration is the

terday on the charge OF printing bogus
cigar union labels. over $4,000 worth
were cap.uied and rs tons OF paper on
which they were printed seized. IL rs
said that this counterfeiting scheme has
assumed extensive proportions, and that
certain manufacturers are reaping
handsome profits from their use. Dur
Ing the past two years the officials of the
union Gceived word at various times
that their labels were being counter
feited. and that the Pennsylvania rev.

imitation. Nortons arrest solves the
mystery. John Burkholder and l.. W.

BULLS AND BEARS.
An Unsteady Market Which Had
Some Very Bad Breaks.

nature, however. Continental to-
bacco which opened at 5lla broke

bacco followed suit breaking firm

lowest figures. but gave no sign of any

bic, however, that such stocks as had
been at all active during the day suf-
fered a loss more or less serious and il
appeared that the bears were coming
in for a swing all through the list.
New low records were made to-day
by Northern Pacific, Consolidated Gas,
Continental Tobacco and American To-
bacco.
The market closed steady at figures
somewhat higher than the lowest on a
