The Chieftain, a successful pa
per published at Vinita, l. T., has
just emerged from alibel suit with
a verdict ofs5 againsti it. In June,
1898, The Chieftain published a
ten or twelve line item headed
"Rough Riders in Jail. " in which
a party by the name of Smith was
mentioned, the occurrence being
described as happening in Tampa
Florida. The item was culled
from a Kansas City paper and was
true, save that the initials used by
the Chieftain were wrong and i'm
plicated another Smith. This
Smith brought suit to the amount
of 81 900 for damage to his lacerat-
ed feelings, after the Chieftain had
published retraction upon learn
ing its error. A discriminating
and conscientious jury, in award
ing Smith verdict of So, probably
placed a proper estimate upon the
damage to his character.-Oswego

May Be Appointed at Once.

Aside from routine matters little
attention is being paid to Indian
affairs at the present time. Secre-
tary Hitchcock is practically del
uged with business relating to the
other branches of the interior de-
partment and has little or no time
to look after Indian affairs. He
assured me, however, that within
the next few days the townsite
boards in the Greek and Cherokee
nations would be appointed and
the machinery set in motion for
the perfecting OF titles to the town
site property. Secretary Hitch
cock is desirous that the men ap-
pointed to these boards should be
of the highest standing and famii-
lar with the work, having knowl-
edge of land values.
1t is now apparent that the work
of appraising the various towns in
the territory will be far greater
and require much longer period
than was at first anticipated. 1t
is doubtful whether the charts and
maps of the towns, together with
the surveys, can be completed
within the next eight months, and
the appraisement of each town
will require at least twelve or four
teen months additional. No effort
will be made to hasten operations
but on the contrary the greatest
caution will be exercised so that
no mistakes will be made.-Wash-
ington correspondence South Nc

GRATIFYING PROGRESS.
Vinita Forges Ahead Regard
less of Conditions.

1t is gratifying to every progress
sive individual in Vinita to note
the constant growth, and TIE great
increase of business of the town.
Independent of the unsettled con-
dition of the country the town is
enjoying a healthy and very sub
stantial growth. The number of
good dwellings now in course of
construction is greater than at any
time since '94, the year of the strip
payment, and there are no empty
houses in town. Property in the
business section of Vinita is more
valuable than ever before in the
history of the town.
The same increase of population
and enterprise is also noticeable
throughout the country. A great
many good farmers have within
the last year located in this Sec
ton and the appearance of many
farms show it.

"URIAH HEEP AND BUzFUz. .

In all the voluminous writings
of Charles Dickens, that matchless
delineator of human character, OF
the virtues and frailties Of human
ity, and of the mental and moral
ills of which flesh is heir there Is
nothing more scathing thanhis with
ering arraignment of the pettifog-
ging lawyer. Indeed it is said to
be q matter of English history that
Dickens "Buzfuz" and "Uriah
Heep," revolutionized the practice
of law in England. The former
represented the class of disreputa-
BILE lawyers who took cases on
"speck," depending for their fees
upon damages obtained against
innocent persons against whom
they now and then could get judg-
ment for libel or some similar
charge, which they divided with
their INSCRIPTIONS clients.
The "Uriah Heep" class of
English lawyers were perhaps
more numerous and much more
contemplate. They were the
"humble," insinuating, snaky,
slimey fellows that would fawn,
and with sycophantic smile and
palaver, lick the very feet of those
whom they intended to rob, and
when detected in their villainy
plead their great poverty and lack
of knowledge of the common cour-
tesies due from one gentleman to
another. The tribe of these pro-
fessional scavengers is about ex-
tinct, but now and then a speci-
men of either type shows himself.
In communities where there is
much legal business they come
like the common yulture follows
the battle, or as the hyens seeks
the tent of the traveller to sneak in
and plunder him while he sleeps.

THE FULL-BL00D INDIAN.
Becoming Very Scarce in
the Territory.

Washington, April 23.-"The
full-blooded Indian amounts to
but little now in the affairs of the
people of the five civilized tribes
that make up the Indian Terri
tory" said P. L. Soper, United
States district attorney for that
territory. "The mixture of the
races has been going on so long
that the number of full-bloods is
rapidly approaching the vanishing
point. There are thousands of
people among the Cherokees so
white of skin and so thoroughly
Anglo-Ssxon in every way that no
one would dream that they had
the slightest strain of Indian blood.
There is no racial prejudice in
the territory, and hence no social
stain on a white man who marries
a half-breed girl, Usually these
girls have been sent to some good
female college in Missouri or else
where, where they have acquired
excellent educations and on COM
ing home feel themselves so much
superior to the average young male
Indian that they naturally prefer
to become the wives of white men.
Such unions turn out as happily
as if both parties were of the same
race. One of my office assistants
is married to a very beautiful and
highly intelligent young woman Of
the Cherokee tribe and they are
just as happy as any couple | ever
saw. These white Cherokees, l
want to tell you, are as smart a
people as exists in this country.
in no respect can you see any in
tellectual differences between
them and the pure whites and the
offspring of the two, which will
always be a big element in the
Indian Territory, will rank among
the most intelligent and worthy of
the entire population"

FULLBLOOD POWWow.

A large gathering of fullblood
Cherokees was held on Brush
creek in Delaware district last
Monday, the 18th, to listen to a
report from David Muskrat and
Daniel Gritts, the representatives
of the fullblood element who re-
Gently made a pilgrimage to Wash
ington to find out the true status
of affairs relative to the Curtis
bill and the recent orders from the
interior department.
One hundred and seventy-nine
Cherokees were present and lis
tened attentively to the speeches
of Muskrat and Gritts, and ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied
with their information and willing
to make the best of existing con-
ditions. They advised the Indians
to acouiesce in the enforcement OF
the Curtis law, and prepare to take
their allotments and accept titles
to the same. They advised the
wiping out of all party differences,
and division as National and
Downing, but to stand together
and vote for men in the coming
August election for chief and coun-
cillors who would have the best
interest of the people at heart and
do the best for them in the final
settlement of their affairs.
Muskrat and Gritts are making
a tour of all the nine districts of
the Cherokee nation and meeting
by appointment the fullbloods, and
addressing them upon the condi-
tions, and reporting to them the
results of their visit TO Washing
ton.

The friends of Representative

leave congress to take up the

Members OF the house who are in

dict that in the event that Mr..
Reed relinqUishes the speaker
ship his successor in that position
will be Representative Sherman of
New York. Mr.. Sherman is now
chairman of the house committee
on Indian affairs, and his relations
with Representative Curtis are
very cordial. 1t is known that
Mr., Sherman placed the highest
confidence in Mr.. Curtis judg-
