our mixed blood citizens, too, there
is destined to be some perplexity
and difficulty, owing to the fact
that it is among this class of our
people that spraDg up those ad.
venturous spirits who deemed the
Indian home too narrow a place
for their enterprise, and went
abroad and spent the better por.
tion Of their lives in the states in
pursuit of wider and better op.
portunities. Many OF this class
have allowed their right to Cher
okee citizenship to become clouded
by their sojourn abroad, and it re.
quired some effort on their part to
clear up their claims.
We have been informed that,
1.-The secretary Of the interior has
authorized and directed the Indian
agent, and Special Agent Wright,
both located at Muskogee, to enter
into a contract with any RESPONSE.
BILE person, or corporation for the
purchase OF timber. or stone from
any public lands within the terri
tory OF the FIVE civilized tribes" 1"
We do not question the power Of
the honorable secretary to do this,
but his moral, or legal right to do
it, is wholly. We submit, without
foundation. This territorial ques-
tion is said to be, and it really is,
a complicated problem. But who
has made it 30? These Indians
have not done it. They have been
all the time in the hands of the
government like clay in the hands
OF the potter. The government
has had il all her own way. II
there is any difficulty in the mat
ter, anything wrong, anything un-
just or absurd, the government
has done il. One thing. however,
is certain; II the government had
always dealt with the question &C.
cording to law and the treaties
with these tribes, there never
would have been any complication
in the question.

Itis one thing for congress to
make laws for the Indian Terri
tory and quite another for a corps
OF clerks in the department at
Washington to construe them and
lay down rules for their applica-

effect they originally intended.
In passing laws, If congress could
adopt the plan Of the old man who
made his will in which he be-
quethed everything to his wife
and forbade others from putting a
finger in the pie. il would have an
exceedingly wholesome effect.

Freak Of Lightning .

President T. W. Buell., of the Asso- ciated Charities, who has returned from visit at Burlington, Wis, told the Milwaukee Sentinel of peculiar fatality near that place, in which a man driving a moving machine was struck by lightning and left still sit ting on the machine as though petri- fled.
 William Ulp was the victim of the accident, and was farm hand em- ployed by Peter Bartlesoh on the Har- low farm. He was in the meadow at work when sudden thunder storm came up.
 He raised the knives from tue ground and still had his hand on the lever controlling the blade when bolt of lightning struck. The iron of the ma chine seemed to attract the lightning, for both horses were killed and Olp was struck dead. While the horses fell together when killed by the stroke, Olp remained in his seat on the ma chine dead though he was.
 The storm came up in the early af- ternoon and olp's employers supposed that he had gone under shelter when the storm broke and resumed his mow- ing soon afterward when the sky was again clear. When he did not return to the house for supper his employer began to look for him. The horses and the moving maching were found to be out of their accustomed place in the barn. and the farmer and his fam fly started out to the field to hunt foI the missing man.
 It was dark when they started, ani after short search they saw the fig ure of man sitting upright outlined against the sky. One hand rested on the machine lever, while the other firmly grasped the reins with whief the dead man had been guiding his horses when death came. His bod! was rigid as iron when found, and i was with considerable difficulty that the limbs were straightened after al undertaken had been summoned ! [Prospector.

she was ro.ted on Logs.

A young married woman, whose home is in that vague region known as uptown, startled some of her rela- tives greatly the other day by quite unexpected humorous onslaught. She is an impetuous young woman and she was just ready to go. out, downtown, presumably, when she suddenly turned back and rushed into the family sit ting-room. Several members of the family were there and she exclaimed:
 Did you hear about those New York takirs?"
 "What about them9" cried some body.
 "Why, they're just earning loads of money selling canes made from the log of the Olympial He, ha, hal' And she rushed from the house to catch the oar.
 All the listeners laughed save one.
 1T don't see," said this exception, ''how they could spare it.'
 Spare what?" queried one of the laughers.
 That log"
 Do you know what log is?"
 The exception smiled in a superior manner. Hadn't she just been up the lakes?
 "Why, it's one of those timbers," she said. that they hang over the side oi the boat to keep other boats from pumping into it."
 This time the laughers roared.- Cleveland Plain Dealer.

 The Tombstone Prospector says - "At no time within the history of Ari- zona has there been as great activity in mining circles as during the last year and at present. The Star says in connection the surveyor generals of- flee furnishes some interesting figures which show plainer than any amount of writing just what Arizona is doing in the mineral way. The year in the surveyor generals office ended July 1, up to that time 1885 has been de- posted to cover the costs of surveying mining claims and doing the necessary office work incident to application for a patent. This was more than the ag- gregate for any three previous years combined. The year preceding $3,- 945 was deposited, making balance in favor of last year of $z, 1900. Proba- ply the most striking showing, how ever, is in the number of surveys for paVCh So ilh0C AdSb J C1l L4uln USTluk fUO, large and significant increase over the year previous when only 166 sur. veys were made. The surveyor gen. earPs office also used up last year the the entire appropriation of $1O,- 900 for surveying purposes, which shows great activity. The worl this year is being pushed and there is no let up in the constant number oi applications for surveys. Eight engi. neers are at work surveying the forest reservation on the Grand canyon here are 10000 for the field and offic, work Arizona has constantly been talk ing higher place in the column of wealtl producers but if the present rate of in crease in mines opened and minera wealth developed of all kinds, is kep up it is only question of time whel she goes to the head of the list.

Bryan is called a dictator because he refused to accept the nomination for the presidency unless the platform suited him. The opposition feels like it must say something mean about him, but we believe every thinking man among them secretly admires aud honors him for his manliness and patriotism; and every time they com pare him with their own candidate it is to McKinley's disadvantage. Bryan has his own ideas as to right principles, and he refuses to be swayed from the path of duty as he sees it, even to gain the highest office in the land. Me Kinley is willing to accept office on any old platform, and to swallow any old dose his bosses prepare for him. Sometimes he ventures an opinion oi his own, but if it proves contrary tc the ideas and wishes of the bosses he never refuses to discard it. Anybody can see the difference between the two men. If Bryan is elected he will be president. If Mckinley is elected il will only be another four years reign of Hanna.-fJefferson Democrat.

At the end of an hour she had broken three win dow panes, hit small boy and de- stroyed several rose bushes; while he had smashed four vases, knocked down two pictures and brushed some bric- a-brac into the fire.

Iron Giving Place to steel.

Steel has almost superseded iron in the manufacture of pipe and tubing un- til it is estimated that almost T5 per cent. of the entire product of the coun- try is now made of steel. Up to few years ago wrought iron was used al- most exclusively. The lap-weid joint proved a serious objection. and the change to steel has been rapid and com plete. Steel pipe is stronger. has long CT life and is less liable to corrosion. Steel tubing has enabled the bicycle industry to become revolutionized. and pipe forms leading article in tonnage of the steel industry in this country and foreign markets,

Had the people of the United States said an employe of the rail road companies here, taken the mon ey they put into the Dewey home, which he immediately gave away and for which he had no personal need, and. with it established seme charity to bear his name, they would have equal ly as well shown their appreciation of his services while they would have erected to him monument to endure long after the battle of Manila shall have been forgotten.

Battle With a Snake.
From the Tombstone prospector.]

lfrOIQ the 1OmDStOHe HrOSpecCOr.j
 Miss Lulu Buck, who lives with her parents at Madison, Conn.,, had an ex- citing fight with big black snake in the pantry of her home. Miss Buck had been busy preserving fruit, which she had set out to cool on the sill of the pantry window. She went in to remove the jars when they were sufficiently cooled. The door closed behind her with bang that sent a draft through the little room, blowing pile of loose papers.
 Presently the pile of papers began to move across the room and to arise from the floor. Miss Buck stopped over to pick up the papers. Her hand gripped something that moved and felt like piece of rub Der hose. She drop ped the papers, but no more quickly than a big blacksnake emerged and struck one of her knees. Miss Buck screamed, and the snalze slid to the far corner near the door,. shutting off re treat and making ready for fight. Realizing her danger; she nerved her self, and seized big carving knife The snake coiled and struck again Miss Buck aimed cross blow, but the snake moved quick and knocked ths knife from her hand. The girl seized a meat ax and swung it quickly, catch ing the snake. The snake strengthened out, and Miss Buck stepped on it, deal ing death blows.

away wounded, Miss Buck struck harder, and succeeded in severing it's head from it's body. Then she rushed out into the yard and gave the alarm. The snake was 10 feet in length and IS inches in circumference. It is said the girl is not in any danger from the wound on the knee, as it was cauter- ized at once.
