Ten Days of Fair.

The Minnesota state fair of 1900 will
run 10 days, beginning Wednesday of
one week and continuing to Saturday
of the next week.
This is the news that came through
one of the early discussions at the
meeting of the Minnesota State Horti-
cultural Society. It all came about
through wordy war, started by Ell.
S. Dart, Owatonna, who objected to
the manner in which the state fair
management had treated exhibitors.
He said he had been with the fair at
previous exhibitions, but the Judges
made rules to please themselves and
make it easy for them, and as a result
his exhibit was so distributed around
in various classes that he was ashamed
of it, and didn't exhibit again. =
Mr.. Dart also objected to the
sweepstakes idea. The largest money
prize of the fair was that offered for
sweepstakes, where the exhibitors
could gather here and there few
things from different people and ex-
hibit them under guise of sweep
stakes, while the real growers and
producers were relegated to back
seats.

We do not intend to say we raise

the sale of those seasonable products.
Because we advertise Herring for

not persuade our customers to buy

are often confusing, frequently we do
not recognize them, the spelling, the

T0wnsite Extortioners.

Mr.. EDIToR.-The early Chris
tians were forbidden to associate
with any one who bore the name
of being. See l Cor. 5 10 an ex-
tortioner, and in l Cor. 6-10.
"SucE cannot inherit the Kingdom
of God" We would not assume
to designate "extortioners." But
may we not inquire the meaning
of the word, which makes those
that practice it come under the
prescription named above. Web
ster says, "Extortion, the act of
extorting; the act of practice of
wrestling anything from person
by force, or by undue exercise of
power, illegal exaction." Would
the enlarging of townsites as pro-
posed by the Dawes commission
Omitted States governmenD be ex-
tortion? No necessity exists for
the enlargement of any of the
townsites in the Indian Territory,
at the present time and should an
increased population and enlarged
volume of business require more
land. could not the same be pro-
cured in legitimate and business
like manner. But if the Indian
people are compelled to submit to
say the least, to this uncalled for
surrender of their land, the scrip
lures quoted show that injustice
whether practiced by a govern
ment or individuals, has penalty
attached. vengeance is mine
saith the Lord, | will repay"

propriating money from a joint

been hanging fire in the interior

will fix the fees Of the attorneys

paid when the funds are divided. =

Readers of our weekly will OBJ
serve an innovation this week in its
advertising departments, provision
70. which is made by the addition of
two extra pages. And the employ
ment of two pages by one firm to make
its announcement, is an incident
worthy of consideration. This is the
first time The CHIEFTAIN has ever
been favored with an order for two
page advertisement, and so far as we
are aware, it is the first time an adj
yertisement of this size has been
printed in an. Indian Territory news
paper, or by an Indian Territory firm
and we are pretty close observers of
the advertisements. 1t is a matter of
congratulation to the people of Vinita
that the city has store which can
|judiciously, as its managers believe,
employ such quantity Of space and
incur such an expense. The CHIEF
TAIN Of course hopes the results will
Justify the outlay, and the paper will
be pardoned for expressing the wish
that its readers visit the store during
the dates of this sale and at least let
the management know their an
nouncement has been seen. 1t is not
alone an advertisement of the Jumbo
Store, but is an advertisement Of the
lefty and If it is not the means of ex-
tending the city's trade, its purpose
has not altogether been served.

THE effect the present negotia.
tions will have upon the immedi.
ate and remote future prospects of
Vinita is not apparent. 1t is to
be presumed however that whether
the town is made six miles square
or remains in its present limits the
difference will be little as to the
growth of the place, The injury
will be to individuals owning ada
cent farms. And on the other
hand the enlargement of the bound
aries of the city will not cheaper
desirable town property or bring
boom to the place. The Dawes
commission seem to have an idea
that the whole country ought to be
reserved for one vast townsite and
that the people ought to yield up
their homes without word of
protest.

Of Wagner, with his friends, will
endeavor to induce the committee
to grant an extension OF the term
of leases of the minor lands in the
territory, and an organized effort
will be made to secure changes in
the Curtis law relating to leasing
Of mineral lands. Thus far, how
ever, these questions are in an
undeveloped state and the action
of the committee is exceedingly
problematical.

practice of medicine and surgery
in the territory. 1t provides for a
compile system of medicine and
surgery, and the sale of drugs,
similar to the law in force as set
forth in Mansfeld's Digest.
Secretary Bliss, of the interior
department, has recommended to
the president the disapproval of
the resolution passed by the Che
rokee council setting aside 81 800
from their tribal funds to employ
an attorney to represent their in
terests in the suit brought against
them by the Delaware tribe for a
portion of the proceeds of the
funds from the sale of 157, 900
acres of their joint tribal lands.
The action of the secretary is
based on the ground that the
Cherokees have no right to ap-
propriate money which jointly be-
longs to the Delawares for the
payment of their attorneys in the
suit against the Delawares. In
other words Mr.. Bliss holds that
if an appropriation is to be allow
ed the Cherokees for the payment
of attorney fees the Delawares are
also entitled to an appropriation,
providing the courts hold that the
Delawares are entitled to part OF
the proceeds.

izing either the Cherokees or
Delawares to bring suit for the
distribution of these funds. Last

The Creek commission to treat
with the Dawes commission is
now in session at Okmulgee, and
has about finished the formula
ton of their proposition and will
be in Muskogee about Thursday
to lay their propositions before
the Dawes commission; and if
the "zones" of the Dawes commits
sion do not get the Creeks tangled
they will, no doubt, make fair
treaty. The Creeks want to- di-
vide their entire domain equally
among all their citizens without
any mineral reservations; they
want to make clear sale of the
townsites to the town corporations
of just what land the corporations
include at the present time, no
"zone" to be included nor re-
served. 1t seems to be the desire
and intention of the present COM
mission to allow an equal divide,
share and share alike, with all Of
the lawful Greek citizens. This
will, of course, include the negro
citizens and their descendants who
have actually been slaves to the
Creeks and have resided in the
Creek Nation according to The
treaty of 1866. .-Muskogee Times
