The Biggest Country in the
World.

Measured by every gauge and
the United States of America is the
biggest country in the world, and
her people the greatest. The GEN.
sus shows that this is now a nation
of more than 76,OOO,OOO people.
Only three other nations exceed the
United Stf tes in numerical strength
China, Russia and Great Brita n.
But these three nations are made
up OF vast numbers of people
speaking different languages and
widely separated from one another
in distance, in sympathy, in reli-
gion and in race. The United
States is the only nation in the
world made up almost entirely of
people speaking and reading the
same language. The English tongue
is almost universal in this country
and is bound 10 become thoroughly
so in the course OF few years.

1000 complaints filed against non

had intruded themselves upon the
Indians and had gained their con-
fdence to a sufficient degree to
secure possession of their pros

ing secured possession refused
either to pay rent or to vacate,
thus preventing the Indians from
receiving any rents or profits
therefrom. Many of the Indians
are too poor to institute suit for

Noon yesterday there was not a
drop of the rain falling in any part
of the United States of America.
This has not happened before on
the occasion of a Presidential
election in many years, and it GER
tainly is a remarkable incident,
considering the magnitude of the
country and the season of the
year. Fair weather, for some
curious reason, has always been
consider ed favorable omen for
the Republicans. 1t has been the
custom to assert that Democrats
will take the pains to vote, even
If the day is stormy, while the
Republicans are fair weather
partisans. This is largely an
idle notion, but all the same q
wet election day usually modifies
Republicans confidence. There
are plenty of persons who will
never believe anything else but
that Blaine would have been
elected in 1884 instead of Cleve-
land if it had not rained in New
York. But there were so many
things to "hoodoop poor Blaine
that it would not be fair to Law it

LACKS MONEY.

Pcnca City, 0. 7. Nov. Cd,
P. Barton, one of the allottIng
agents in the Kiowa and Ccmanche
c~untry, has come home to vote.
He says that the allotting Of the
land to Indians can not be CON-
pleted before next spring, unless
congress makes a special appro.
prlation early in the session to
greatly increase the force of allot-
tiers.
He says there are a hundred or
more cases of smallpox among the
Indians and there is a fear that the
disease may become general and
spread through the whole tribe
when the weather turns cold.
Should this prove true it will be
necessary to suspend all work of
until the d sease can be
stamped out.
Indian Agent Randlett is doing
everything possible TO prevent the
spread of thu smallpox and is vac
all of the Indians as fast
rs possible, though in many cases
they resist, and it is necessary to
bring them in by force and compel
hem TO submit to vaccination.

chautauqua's Answer.


Last week the editor of the
Express, complimented our CHATEAU
quau work by making note of 8
special point in his editorial, and
requested an answer to, ''What
control has the Secretary of In
terror over the Chick Choc ma
tions ~
1t would require considerable
time, as my information is to
limited, and that brings up the
point that / think we are too
neglcctful of the Civics of our
beautiful Indian Territory. We
should take just as much interest
in posting ourselves on its laws,
and busineis affairs, as we would in
the state OF our birth. Every thing
is new to the most of US and we
take long time TO learn, but if
each one would add an Item the
budget would increase.
Ny question this week is, why
should not the Secretary of In
terror pay over the accrued royal
ties of the school fund, 10 the
school officers of the Chick -Choc
nations;
The money accumulating in the
Treasure Of the United States is
the just dues of the school children
of INDIAN blood in the Indian
Territory. If it is to be dormant IN
the Treasury, as it has done for
two years, it will count up many
dollars, but what will 1t pay to the
school boy or girl today or last
year They are being cheated out
of their rlghtful dues. 1t seems to
me that something should be speed.

DIXON DEFEATED.
The Ex-Champion Compelled to Quit
Last Night.

NEW YORK, July 31.-The one-time
invincible George Dixon succumbed to
Tommy Sullivan, of Brooklyn, at
Coney Island tonight in their battle
at 122 pounds. The end came as the
men shaped for the seventh round
when Tom O'Rourke, Dixon's chief
second admitted defeat for his man,
and claiming that his left arm was
disa bled refused to permit him to
continue, which left no other alter
native for the referee than to declare
Sullivan the victor. Dixon was get
ting all the worst of the body punch
ing each was administering, and just
before the close of the sixth round
was looking appealingly toward his
corner. 1t looked simply case of
youth being served. AS matter OF
fact Dixon looked particularly big
about the body Sullivan was willing
to mix it up on the slightest provoca-
ton and it was the consensus of opin-
ion that Dixon was beaten and we'll
beaten. 1t was popular victory, and
was greeted with wild cheers.
A great volley of cheers greeted
"Old Chocolate" when he entered the
ring Sullivan's adherents made
themselves heard by blast of tin
horns, which they sounded upon the
slightest provocation. The betting
was two to one on Dixon and consid-
cradle money changed hands.

STANDING OF CLUBS.

The Toledo pitchers were not hit
hard yesterday, but they may be said
to be directly responsible for the loss
of the double-header which gave the
Nailers three consecutive victories
from them. The pitchers were very
much in evidence in both games. The
battle was confined principally to the
box, and Wheeling had decidedly the
better of the argument
McConkey, the local amateur twirler,
was given a trial by Wheeling in the
second game. When it was learned
that Joss would oppose him, there was
not one man in ten among the spec
tators, who expected Wheeling to
win. McConkey proved an agreeable
surprise. He showed all kinds of
steam, good curves, and a cool head.
He had excellent control, and after the
first inning the crowd was with him,
and applauded him generously.
The two games were remarkably
fast, the first being played in 1:S0 and
the second in LIS. tombstone was
roasted a great deal more than he
deserved He is one of the fairest
and most competent men, who have
ever officiated with the indicator in
this city.
Wheeling made bad and Toledo a
correspondingly good start in the first
game. Hartman got a life on Con-
gallons muff, taking two bases, and
scored on an error by Turner. Pardee
put the sphere over like a rocket, and
but one more run was scored by the
visitors, In the fourth inning Turner
led off with a double, and scored on
timely single by Smith
Wheeling could not score until the
fifth, through inability to hit consecu-
lively. In that inning Taylor's bad
throw to first gave Rothermel life,
and he scored on Boyd's two Dagger to
right garden. Pardee's sacrifice ad
vanced Boyd to third, and he came
in On Meaney's single.
Neither side scored again until the
tenth, but Toledo gave Wheeling a
bad fright in the ninth. Hartman
drew gift, and Beck followed with d
single, Turner struck out in attempt
ing to sacrifice. Smiths infeld hit
forced Beck out at second, and II Tur-
ned had not dropped the ball when
fielded to him by Rothermel, double
play could have been executed. Gilks
ended the agony at first.
The game was handed to Wheeling
by Butler in the.first half of the tenth.
Meaney led off with a safe one and
Ritter hunted. Butler fielded the ball
to second but threw four feet wide
Of the plate, and Meaney went to
third, scoring on Poole's timely single
to center. Turner went out on an in
field fly, and Taylor and Poole were
doubled The visitors went out in
order in their half Score.

STILL UNDETERMINEn
Whether Towne VIII Continue ms
Candidate for Vice President


Candidate for Vice President
LINCOLN, Neb., July S1.-The
withdrawal of Charles A. Towne from
the Populist ticket as a Vice Presiden-
tial candidate is still an undetermined
question. Mr.. Towne spent nearly all
OF to-day in Lincoln and most of the
time was with w. ]. Bryan. Just be-
fore leaving for Chicago tonight. he
declared that he was not prepared to
say whether he will remain on the
ticket or withdraw.
Neither Mr.. Bryan nor Mr.. Towne
would discuss the subject OF their con-
ference. That it had TO do with the
proposed withdrawal, however, there is
little question. Populist leaders here
who talked with Towne say he is still
of the opinion that he should retire.
He has offered his services to the Dem
ocratie National Committee as a speak
er and to continue as a candidate for
Vice President would, they insist. put
him in a position not far from ridicu-
lous. Mr.. Towne is en- route TO his
home at Dulu,L in a roundabout way
and after he reaches there it is be-
lleyed he will announce his decision.
He came to Lincoln direct from Ne
vada, where he has been making
speeches and regards the outlook from
his standpoint good in the Western
States.
A meeting of the Democratic State
Central and Populist Executive Com
mittees was held here to-day. Mr..
Bryan made short address to the
Democrats, counseling and predicting
harmony among the fusion forces in
Nebraska.
E. S. Corser of Minnesota, and
Judge Joseph Brown, of LAio, called on
Mr.. Bryan to-day.
