but it can't stop the grass from
growing, nor the wheat, and oats,
and corn, and potatoes and fruits
all over the Cherokee nation from
making big crop The lands of
the Cherokee nation will not be
less in area, nor lees productive,
and the hidden treasures of min
eral will still be buried beneath
the surface. The sun will rise and
set on time, the moon and stars
will shed their glory over hill aud

birds will sing from every tIee.top,

Grant once said of CHARLES Sum-
neE THE reason Samner don't
believe the bible Is because he
didn't write il bimselE" Perhaps
the chief reason why Representa-
tive Curtis Of Kansas seeks TO de-
stroy the new Cherokee treaty is
because be didn't make it, and it
does not bear the tali,,mantic
name Of Curtis. This is tile most
charitable view that can be taken
OF lbss action OF the conceited little
..ansan. However, there is an
other, and a more general view OF
his action, and that is that he may
be the employ Of the Standard oil
company and is simply playing
the part Of a paid attorney at the
bar looking after the interests of
his clients. II is not improbable
that Curtis amendment will even
tually prove a boomerang and
swing back some time aud knock
its author into oblivion.
One of the resources Of this sec
lion that is not usually considered
of much consequences, but this year
promises TO be factor in tina ma
terial prosperity Of the country is
the fruit crop. Within a radius. Of
ten miles Of vinIta there is not
less Than fifty thousand bearing
fruit irees-apple, peach, plum,
pear and cherry-all full TO break
ing this season. Then added 10
this are acres Of slrawbersies black
berries, grapes and other fruits.
The fruit in ibis section Of the
country this year will be source
Of considerable money, and comes
al lima when ils worth will be
appreciated

HE CURTIS AMENDMENT.

The bill introduced by Congress
man Curtis, Mon Jay, TO ratify
and confirm the Cherokee agree,
ment has been received in printed
form, and while il is not quite so
bad as the Washington dispatch
painted it, it Is bad enough to not
De acceptable to the Cherokess,
and II ii should pass as introduced
there would be little use to call an
election as not one Cherokee voter
in one hundred would vote for it,.
But there is certainly no reason
why 1t cannot be amended yet so
as TO leave it practically what our
del, cation intended ii should be.
The clause admitting persons to
citizenship whose cases were re-
ported favorably by the masters in
chancery is nothing more than
senseless rwaddle, as the courts
overruled the masters reports and
excluded tbuse claimants.
l'he great burden Of Curtis
amendment, and perhaps the
only point hoped To be gained, is
the recognition Of mineral leases.
The bill seems to indicate that the
Sandaid Oil Co. has a champion
in congress. and that he is doing
his very best to protect his clients.

The Washington dispatch states
that the Curtis bill, providing for
toe ratification of the Creek and
Cherokee agreements, was the
handiwork of Curtis himself, and
that the Indian committee had
no part in the forming of the
outrageous amendments that could
only have the effect of killing the
treaty, or delaying it. 1t is pos
sible that when the Indian COM
mttee reports, matters may
change for the better. The agree
ment will get consideration very
soon, and if favorable, may pass
without friction. Col. Bell will
see to it that the Cherokee end of
the business don't suffer.
The chances are now favorable
for Vinita being well represe uted
IN both the democratic and rep ub.
lican national conventions, and in
a political way generally. Davis 8
Hill lie makinga a race for delegate
from the Cherokee nation to the
democratic convention at Kansas
City, and Preston Davis is out for
delegate at large to the same con-
vention, and both have fair show
of being elected. Then p. L. Soper
will be delegate to the repubh-
can convention at Philadelphia,
and VIM. Mellette will be republi-
can national committeeman.
The omnisciont Muskogee Time IS
is in error in accusing Supervis or
OF the Census Darrough Of beincs a
"singe statehood Oklahoma car
petbagger." Darrough has been
in the Indian Territory longer
than anyone connected with the
Times, and is one of th a original
anti'single-statehood men He has

OF its way to roast The census man
because the ceAsus bureau saw fit
to move him to a more convenient
location than Muskogee.
The Curtis amendment with
reference to the reports OF regular
aud specials masters in ohancery,
assumes that the court erred in its
findings, and that the report of
the masters should be taken in
preference. This is an 'idheard Of
proposition, and no known rule Of
law would sustain such practice.
The work Of the master in
chancery was never Intended to
pass for final decision of court,
only preliminary examination to
be passed upon by the court hav-
ing jurisdiction.

The proposition of Represent
ative Curtis TO accept the reports
OF regular and special masters in
chancsry in lieu of decisions Of
the higher courts, was never made
in sincerity. Mr.. Curtis is a law
yer and knows full we'll the func-
tions and authority of a master
in chancery. The i n tent o n
doubtless, is to obscure the real
meaning, namely, the protection
Of the interests of the Standard
Oil Co., in the Indiau~Territory.

vesuvius Has Lost It's Cone.

This fiery clater, now suddenly silent,
was explored by scientific mon who dis
covered that the cont had disappeared.
Several theories are %propounded as to
why the eruption ceased, also regarding
the disappearance of the cone. The
general belief is that it was due to subsi-
dence. and which is looked upon as
providential. 1t was as unexpected
as are the stomach disorders with
which people suddenly find themselves
afflicted. Slight symptoms are neglect
ed until dyspepsia is chronic. The
remedy to take is Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bitters. This valuable medicine
is u%ne9ualled in all cases of constipation,
indigestion biliousness, or malaria, fever
and ague. 1t brings about a healthy
condition of the bowels and improves the
appetite. Be sure to give it a trial.
