GOING TO WASHINGTON.
Six Usage Indians on the
Way East.

Republic.
10, the poor Indian, to the
number of six, Of the tribe of the
Osages, living on their lands in
and about the town of Pawhuska,
Okla. passed through Union sta
ton Tuesday on their way to
visit the Great Father, to whom
they pay a visit annually. The
six braves are the chiefs of their
people, and are splendid represen-
tatives of one of the finest physi-
cal tribes of the American Indian.
They were under the leadership OF
C. n. Prudemon, who acts as in
terpreter, and who is a graduate OF
Carlyle.
They were dressed IN the regu-
lation dress of reservation Indians.
They wore great gaudy blankets
and the usual Indian ornaments.
Their hair was worn in plaits down
their backs, which were secured at
the ends by thongs of beaded deer
hide. A large crowd of tourists
gathered about the braves during
their stay in the station, but the
stocial redmen paid not the slight
est heed to the curiosity which
they attracted. They would not
answer the questions put them,
and though they all speak English,
they affected not to understand.
l. was learned from the interpre-
ter that the delegation hopes tC
get certain changes made in the
distribution Of the allowance made
them by the government. They
believe that the amount should be
raised or that the land be allotted
among the tribe. The Osages are
among the purest- blOoded Indians
in existence today. They seldom
marry with the whites, and pre-
serve their tribal customs. The
tribe is also one of the richest in
the country.

Subject of Preston Davis Lecture at
the College Last Evening.

Attorney Preston 5. Davis delivered
a splendid lecture Friday eve. at VIII
lie Halsell college. His subject was
"The Victory Of Peace" He was
greeted with a large audience, and his
talk was well received.
The college faculty proposes to have
these lectures once every month, and
no doubt 4 great deal Of interest will
be manifested in them in the future.
There are a great many people IN vi
nita who would be glad of an oppor-
tunity to hear such lecture as last
nights, and the college people deserve
much credit for inauguratiug such a
series or entertainments.

The increased cost of paper and
other materials used in the max
ing of local paper has started the
discussion of the advisability Of
raising the price of subscription,
and a good many have already
done so. Doubtless at The great
papers of the country will be
forced to advance their price as
soon as contracts for paper made
before the advance have been full
filled and then we may look for
the local paper to follow suit.
Undoubtedly they will be justified
in a moderate advance of the sub.
scription list.-Phoenix.
