Those members of the five civiliz-
ed tribes of the Indian Territory
who desire to sell their lands and
improvements there and emigrate
elsewhere are to have no obstacles
placed in their way For the pur-
pose of facilitating the emigration
Representative Wilson of Idaho
has introduced in the house a
measure intended to carry out the
views of the Indians.
The bill provides that when 800
or more Indians of the Territory
shall request each by petition or
through authorized representation,
of the secretary of the interior to
sell or otherwise dispose of their
lands or improvements, for the
purpose of buying elsewhere, the
secretary of the interior is author
lied to at once ascertain their
proportionate share of loans and
funds. He is also directed by the
bill to set aside their share and to
assist them to sell, and to give
deeds and patents in fee, or exc
cute papers for the United States
| government to carry Out the de-
sireS of the Indians. The secre-
tary is to see that their rights are
protected or secured by the patent
to them or their order, in full, of
all moneys due them for such
lands, or that good and ample
bonds or securities for the payment
of such lands be secured to the In
dians. The bill contains this pro-
viso: Provided, however, that
such moneys or bonds shall be held
by the secretary of the interior not
longer than two years after such
transfer, a portion to be paid for
such lands as are selected by said
Indians, portion to be used in
) moving, and improving said lands.
and if any is left thereafter, to be
paid out as instructed by a major
ity of the entire band, tribe, or or
: ganization so emigrating at any
one time, provided, however. that
if any such Indians emigrate or
move to foreign country the sec
retary of the interior be authoriz-
ed, and is hereby instructed, to
approve of such terms or agree
ment with such foreign govern
! ment as will best promote the in
/ tereSt, wishes and desires of such
, Indians; and provided further,
however, that said Indians so en-
igrating or separating themselves
+ from the others of their nation OF
t tribe shall not lose any of their
e rights TO participate in any other
claims, property. or funds belong
ing to the nation or tribe of which
a they are a part, which have not
a been already set aside; and the pl q
: rata share of said property OF
: funds shall when determined from
time to time be turned over to the
secretary of the interior, and sci
: apart for them subject to their or
8 der; and that after emigrating
from the territory of the United
States all reliance aud support of
, said Indians or any by the United
, States government shall cease.

f 1t is very hard to stand idly by
and see our dear ones suffer while
awaiting the arrival of the doctor.
An Albany, N. " dairyman called
at drug store there for a doctor to
} come and see his child, then very
} sick with Group. Not finding the
: doctor in, he left word for him to
| come at once on his return. He also
} bought bottle of Chamberlain g
Cough Syrup, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor
should arrive. In few hours he re-
! turned, saying the doctor need not
come, az the child was much better.
The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz, says
the family have since recommended
Chamberlain Cough Remedy to
their neighbors and friends until he
has constant demand for it from
