INDIAN AUTONOMY ENDED.

No intelligent Cherokee need be
frightened or discouraged at the
action of the president in not ap
proving legislation by the Cher
okee council. The individual in.
terests of Cherokee citizens are fal
safer in the hands of the United
States than they were when We
had unlimited power and author
ity as an Indian government. The
shameful waste of tribal funds is
sufficient reason for congress to
forever put a stop to the useless
expenditure of money for delega-
tions and attorneys. The masses
of Cherokee citizens would have
been vastly better off had congress
taken this step a quarter of a cen
tury ago. The United States gov
ernment has no motive to do other
tnan exactly right by the Chero-
KEGS, and it is not wise for them to
enlangle their interests by the con-
slant presence of paid lobbyists
sndexpensive delegationsin Wash
ington. The thing to do now is to
trust to the honor of the United
States TO do right in the allotment
of tribal lands and in the per cap
ita distribution of the funds be-
longing to the people.
Indian autonomy is a thing of
the past and it is very fortunate
for the common Indian hat il is.
Capt. Jackson, of Wagner,
would better have addressed his
smallpox denial to the Kansas
health board, which has quaran-
tined Montgomery county against
his town. But the captain has the
satisfaction of knowing that Mus
kogee, as well as South McAlester,
has also fallen under the ban.
By the way. what great harm does
the Indian Territory suffer by her
people being barred out of south
ern Kansas towns?

Snyder, a big Dutchman, who
had been killing beef for the Ware
brothers, who were the beef con-
tractors for the graders on the
Frisco, was the first butcher. He
was a gross, sluggish, stoical fel-
low, dirty and greasy; had no con-
science and knew a thief on sight,
whether he was red white or black.
His shop, which stood in the angle
north of the Frisco and east of the
II. X. & 7. tracks, was the rendez-
vous of petty thieves, whiskey
peddlers and such ilk. When he
wanted beef or a mutton he would
suggest the matter to some of his
dodgers, and within the next forty
eight hours his shambles would be
with some fat yearliDgs,
or COWS, at a very low price.

If all signs do not fail the year
1900 will be the greatest building
year Vinita has ever had, with the
possible exception of 1894. Plans
are materializing for a number of
buildings fronting on Illinois ave-
nue. on what used to be railroad
land, that will help the looks of
that quarter and raise the price of
lots on both sides of it. Wilson
street, always able to take care Of
itself, will have several hundred
feet frontage of new business
houses before the snow hes next
winter.

The Wichita liar has again broke
loose. His press dispatches now
show that a white woman fell in
love with an Indian who had
smallpox, drank his blood and
died, and to complete the story the
Indian commits suicide. The last
part of the tale is very improbable
and in fact discredits the whole
story. There never was but one
Indian suicide, and that was full
blood Sac and Fox, over a hundred
years old, who cot his throat on
the street here a few years ago.

The story was started about a
month ago that Bill Cook, the out
law, was dying in a New York
penitentiary. He is still dying
but not dead, and what is more, he
wants to get out. The thought of
a man like Bill Cook dying is too
awful to contemplate. Ten years
ago the report was sent out from
Saltwater, Minnesota, that Cole
Younger was dying, and almost
simultaneously a petition was
started asking for his pardon.

The center of attraction all day
Sunday was the .artesian well.
A constant stream of people Wis.
tied it all day long. Crowds oi
ladies and gentlemen and children
stood around il looking admiringly
at the big stream of water rushing
through the pipe below the dam.
Some carried cups to test the quail
lty of the water, and between sips
dilated upon the greatness of
flowing well of good water in vi
nita. A very perceptible tinge OF
sulphur is detected in the taste
but it is soft and fine, and some
thing that most any town in the
world would be proud of.

Cherokee Warrants.

Inspector Zevely is now making
arrangements to enable the United
States Indian agent TO make the
payment of Cherokee warrants, in
accordance with a recent law pass
ed by the Cherokee council and
approved by the president. The
outstanding interest on all warrants
to a given date will be paid instead
OF yearly interest as has here
tofore been the custom. 1t is
thought the payment will be made
in February next. Public notice
of the time and place of the pay
ment will be given together with
the number of warrants to be paid
and such other information as may
be pertinent.-Muskogee Times.

fer man and teamster in Vinita.
He came with the Frisco grading
outfit, and when the road stopped
building, located here. He had
worked on the grading of the
Union Pacific and had spent years
on the plains and could tell many
thrilling stories of early life in
western towns. He told of one oc-
casion, where party of plainsmen
and cowboys started out to have a
"little fun" in Cheyenne. They
were all armed and more or less
drunk. Hiring an omnibus, with
Jack as driver, they drove through
the tough districts and ran things
TO suit themselves. Finally a row
was started and when the shooting
was over, there were seven of the
party dead and three or four
wounded. Jack escaped by max
ing a good run.
