THE COMING ELECTION /.

From this time forward till the
chiefs election next August there
will be plenty of politics in the
Cherokee nation. There is not
much possibility of any definite
action being taken looking to al
lotment and the final settlement of
affairs with the government till
alter the political campaign of this
summer, and a new chief and
council are installed. True there
does not seem to be much in the
way of emolument and honor left
in holding office in the Cherokee
nation any more, but there are
scores of Cherokee citizens anxious
to run for office, and as eager for
places Of political preferment as
ever.
Just what issue will di-
vide the two old parties, the
Downing and the National, is
difficult to foresee, other than the
direct question OF allotment.
Heretofore no party ever had the
boldness to declare unequivoeably
-
for the changing OF land tenure,
though individuals have now and
thea ran upon that proposition in
sections where it was well known
that that idea prevailed.
The Downing party will no
doubt declare in its coming plat
form for all there is in sight in the
way ofprogressive change, and in
contra distinction to the known
tenets of the full-blood element.
The real Indian is perhaps as
much opposed to all these things |
as he ever was.

General Solicitor Parker, of the
Frisco railroad, told the people OF
Ninita recently that in five years
the town would have a population
of 10000. One year ago Superin-

dicted that South McAlester would
have population of 10000 inside
of five years and that there would
have to be three tracks between
the two towns. South McAlester

Texas Crop Bulletin.

The weather and crop report of
the Texas section Of the United
States department of agriculture
gives the crop conditions through
out Texas as follows:
The general rains throughout
the state have materially bright
ened the prospects and improved
crop conditions, Notwithstanding
that the continued low tempera-
lures, with occasional frost, have
been unfavorable to termination
of seed and crop growth. Replant-
ing corn, killed by the recent
freezes, over the northern and GEN.
tral portions of the state, has been
about completed, while over the
southern portion of the state culti-
walton of the crop has commenced.
Cotton planting is well advanced
over the southern portion of the
state; early planted came up well,
but has been killed by the frost,
except over the southwest portion,
and will have to be replanted.
Planting has commenced over the
central and northern portions and
will be general in a few days. The
rain was generally beneficial to
the wheat crop, although the
drouth had already cut the crop
short. In some places the crop
was dead before the rains occurred |
and viii not revive. The oats
crop is doing well, except where
the rainfall was very light and in |
parts of southwest Texas.

AbdnrA AMMAN OF AfghantEtan One or the

The most interesting ruler in the
world at present is probably Abdur-
rahman of Afghanistan.

durrahman, capable of waking up
his doctor to ask if it would hurt
him to eat a peppermint lozenge,

iron cage to starve to death.
Once a beggar in Kabul asked

asked the ruler.

piled. 81 am beggar."
Then, said Abdurrahman, "we
can do without YOU" and forthwith
directed that the beggar should be
hanged. He is, however, susceptible
to ilattery and can sometimes be Ca
joled.
A man whom he had sentenced to
have his ears cut off for some indis-
cretion happened to be friend OF
his chief secretary, who averted the
mutilation by offering to perform
the task himself, provided it might
be done in the ameer's presence.
To this he assented, whereupon
the secretary explained that he had
never executed this form of punish
ment before and would his highness
show him how much was to be re.
moved.
The ameer passed his hands over
both ears of the trembling wretch,
whereupon the secretary reminded
him of passage in the Koran say.

A docket of 800 criminal cases
at Ardmore is astounding. The
reason for this may be found in
an Increase of crime, or in the
number of cases that have been
continued from one term to anoth-
er. or in the efficiency of the dep
uty marshals and their ability in
apprehendiug law breakers and

cyanide plant. With the concentrating

WADE HAMPTON'S FEAT.
Octagenarian and Crippled he Extin-
guished Fire on his Roof

Columbia, S c., March 5.-Though
General Wade Hampton, one of the few
surviving Acknowledgements of the
confederacy, is within a few days OF
celebrating his eightyfrst birthday,
he performed q characteristic feat a
few mornings ago. showing that he has
lost none of his old time dash and
courage. His feat was indeed very
much like that of Wheeler at Santiago,
though more difficult Of performance
by reason of the fact that the aged
warrior has a cork leg, and had no tree
linn BIS to aid him.
1t was yet very early in The morn
ing when one Of the servants at Ger.
Hampton residence, near the city.
came to him and informed d him that
sparks had fallen upon and ignited the
roof of the house, which was then
burning. The CID general, without
permitting any OF the household to be
awak ened, hastened out and himself
proceeded to climb ont upon the roof.
Reaching the blaze, he, with the as
sistance OF his servant, managed to ex-
tinguisL the flames. 1t was not until
the breakfast hour that any of the
household were aware OF the fire or of
the aged soldiers risky, but effective
climb upon the roof.
The incident was known to but few
of the generals friends until today,
and they are as proud of his feat % of
any CT those daring charges he led
during tho civil war.
The above press dispatch tax On from
the Phoenix Republican of March 9th
will be of interest to THE VIDErTB
readers on account OF the fact that
General Wade Hampton, of whom it
speaks, is the father of Lieutsnant AL
fred Hampton OF the customs service
