OBITUARY..

The subject of the following sketch
der, of Bellefontaine, and daughter of
Henry Freer, formerly of East Liberty,
who has been dead some 25 years. De-
ceased was well-known in Logan coun-
ty. She visited here two years ago,
and lived in Bellefontaine about eigh-
teen months, moving to Decorah, Iowa,
some five years ago, where she died,
December "A, 1899:
After many weeks of suffering, Mrs.
Exum Johnson found release at 3 o'clock
last Sunday morning, December "a,
1899. Her maiden name was Lea Freer.
She was born in Logan county, Ohio,
September 2, 1886, where she grew to
womanhood. When about IA years old
she was converted and joined the Free
Will Baptist church. After coming to
Iowa she united with the Friends
church. In 1858 Miss Freer became
the wife of Exum Johnston, with whom
she lived happily some 46 years. They
soon left Ohio for Indiana, where they
lived few years, returning in 1858.
But the tide of immigration was yet
westward. Great stories were told of
the fertile prairies of Iowa, and they
came to this state in the early sixties.
For thirty-five years they lived on a
farm east of Hesper, but of late their
ho,,yo bac haap in Dacorab
Afflicted for a number of years, but
especially for the past four months,
Mrs. johnson was great sufferer. But
she bore her sickness with great pa
tience. Her trust was in God, and she
seemed reconciled to his will. A hus=
band, two sons and two daughters re-
main to mourn her loss.
The funeral was on Tuesday. After
brief service at the hone the body
was taken to Hesper, where the funeral
was held in the Friends church. Rev.
J. w. Allen, of Decorah, assisted by
DR.. Slack, conducted the services.
The sermon was preached from John
5: 4, ''This is the victory that over
cometh the world, even our faith,"
The floral tributes were tatty and ap-
propriate. A large audience was
present and followed the remains to the
cemetery, where the burial took place.

THE FLOWER OF FAME.

He s,rght it before the billow of spring the
meadow seen,
When only the flush of the willow was tracing
the river with green;
He scanned to the edge of the fraying SHOWS that
dappled the mountain slope.
And ever too late the March rose, for ne
searched the world with hope.
saw him at Eeoa of the summer day, and that
was the favarite hour
To one who had hunted from March to May and
never had found flower,
For the light was FULL though the sun were
aiding his eager quest,
And there were no warning shadows to DER
his path from east west.
And still in Septcmhars purple and gold he was
hunting the cru gins ground,
But not with the sjea1v eye Of old or the spring
times joyous bound;
If he stopped in his feyerish roaming, twas to
question the darling air.
Too early the gloaming; he was searching
with despair.
And while, for chance CT the rarcst, he wanders
in storm heat,
He is blind to the charm of the flirest he is
crushing beneath his feet
The flower Of every valley, the flower of all the
year.
Deep in whose broken blossom the dew lies like a
tear.

SPELL THIS.

Some of yon who think you are well
up in spelling just to try to spell the
words in this little sentence:
SIT is agreeable to witness the un-
paralleled ecstasy of two harassed ped
dlers endeavoring to gauge the symme-
try of two peeled pears"
Read it over to your friends and see
how many of them can spell every word
correctly. The sentence contains many
of the real puzzlers of the spelling
book.

Mexican Prisons.

The term of a prisoner in peniten-

first is occupied with penal labor. The
second is labor in the training school,
with a little pay. The third, ''prepara'

many privileges.

made my plates with care;
So she consented, for she, too,
Thought to be pictured fair.
If others, who TO her might seem
Iesa fair, were in request
As models why should she not dream
CT fanking with the best?
And now she will not speak to mel
Her frown my art disarms
She never thought her face might be
One OF her lesser charms,
And she is angry, much to my
Regret, you understand,
Since politely asked if
Might photograph her hand!

CHEROKEE AGREEMENT.
Curtis Measures Make Inn
portant Amendments.

troduced bills to ratiiy the new
agreements between the United
States and the Creek and the Cher
okee nations in the Indian Terri
tory. Mr.. Curtis is member OF
the subcommittee to which these
agreements were referred in the
house.
The bills introduced by him
would make such important and
sweeping changes in the treaties as
agreed upon, that it seems quite
probable that they will not be rat
fled by the two nations, if passed
by congress. The changes pro
posed by Mr.. Curtis are given
herewith and the objections which
will be raised by the Indians are
pointed. The bill to ratify the
Cherokee agreement proposes
amendments as follows:
Section 2 omits the proviso that
"citizens holding lands in excess
of their share may remove the
buildings and fences prior to jan
uary next" A provision is added
that any citizen having improve
mer. s on lands in excess OF wnat
he can take for himself and family
may sell or remove them by Janu-
airy next; and failing to do so be
should have lien '0pon the rents
of the land not taken by him until
the improvements put on the land
by him are paid for.
Section 4 is amended by pro-
viso of great Importance, namely,
"that the words .eitizens OF the
tribe as herein used shall include
al persons who have been found
by Judgment ~ court, or finding Of
special or regular masters in chan
cery. to be Cherokee Indians by
blood, and who we're residents II
good faith in the Cherokee nation
on September 10, 1896, and al
other pei sons who may be held e
to be citizens under the law anc
all such persons shallbe enrolled
This proviso would add to th'
Cherokee rolls Of citizenship 2,UOC
persons, whose right thereto ha'
been rejected by the Dawes com
mission and the United States
court, and whose decisions have
been affirmed by the United States
supreme court.
The significant words in thi'
provlso are: Findings of spscia
or regular masters in chancery t
be Cherokee Indians by blood, ,anC
who were residents in good faitf
in the Cherokee nation Septembe
10, 1896"
TO FAVOR CITIZENS.
For twenty-five years the Cher
okee nation has been contendinl
with these persons, whom they de
nominate as 'intruders," /" and fin
ally succeeded in having theil
claims rejected. This proviso, j
adopted, would set aside past ad
publications and admit the sin
truders' to citizenship and partic
ipation in the lands and money o
the tribe. The Cherokees will op
pose the proposition and, if it re
mains in the bill, refuse to ratify
the agreement at the polls.
Sections 10 and II of the agree
mentare amended as recommended
by the secretary Of the interior
excepting that bis definition O
"alienation Of lands" so IS 10 in
clude mining leases is omitted
Section Is is changed 80 as 4,

which such lands may be plated
by paying one-half their appraised
value, not, however, exceeding
four acres; but this right shall not
extend to persons who take their
allotments out of unplatted
lands"
Section As is amended SO as to
enroll the intruders.
Section 40 is changed to provide
for turning the Cherokee schools
and school funds over to the ex-
elusive management of the secre-
tary of the interior, instead OF al
lowing joint supervision with the
nation.
Section 55, relating to the Cher
okee Orphan asylum, is omitted.
Section go originally provided
that the Cherokee Male seminary,
female seminary, orphan asylum
and negro high school were to be
appraised and their value paid by
, the United States to the tribe for
the purpose OF equalizing allot-
ments. This is amended SO that
this property, with buildings, is
set apart for public school pGr.
poses for all the people that Inay
hereafter live in the Cherokee ma
ton, ard the tribe is not to be
compensated therefor
Section 81 would increase the
donation Of lands at Fit. Gibson Tor
deaf-and-dumb asylum from 40
to $50 acres.
Section 81 is omitted. 1t was to
!. provide that no tribal funds should
bs used or paid for any purpose by
any officer of the United States
without the consent of the tribe ex-
pressly given through it's national
council. For it is substituted that
"all funds belonging to the tribe
shall be paid out as provided by
section 19 of the Curtis act. !"
Section 70 of the treaty. which
was to repeal. section Is of the
Curtis act, insofar as it applied to
the lands in the Cherokee nation,
and all other acts of congress in.
consistent with this agreement, ex-
cept sections IA and II Of the
Curtis act, was omitted. The
former related to municipal gov
eminent and the latter to main
tanning an Indian inspector in the
territory.
LEASES OF MINERAL LANDS.
There is added to the agreement
a new section, which would re-en.
act, with some notifications, sec.
ton 10 of the Curtis act. 1t is as
follows: "That the secretary oil
the interior is authorized to pro-
vide regulations for leasing of oil,
gas, coal, asphalt and other min
erals on the unallotted and un-
settled portion Of the lands within
the Cherokee nation, and all such
leases shall be made by the secre-
tary of the interior; and any lease
: for any such minerals otherwise
made shall be absolutely void.
No lease shall be made or renewed
for a longer period than fifteen
years, nor cover minerals in more
than GAO acres"
The rates are set forth as in the
Curtis act, with a proviso that
nothing herein contained shall i'm
pair the rights Of any holder OF
owner Of a leasehold interest in
any oil. coal, asphalt or mineral
rights which have been assented
to by act OF congress. but all such

A Brakeman Killed.

A deplorable accident occurred on the upper railroad spur, at the United Globe shelter, last Saturday forenoon, resulting in the death of Horatio N. Lyon, a brakeman. Deceased was one of the crew switching coal cars at the Smelter. Two cars were Shunted onto the spur from the switch and Lyon was on the rear end of the forward car. The spur is only long enough to hold five cars, and the two cars Shunted were moving at an unusual rate of speed. The spur passes under the terminus of the cable tramway and the brake on d ear can not be ap- piled until after tle car emergeS from cover, about 50 feet from the end of the spur over de ep ravine. The cars were moving so fast that Lyon did not have time to put Dn the brake and the car on which he stood went over the small bulkhead S. 10Xl0 timber bolted to the Strinyer) and fell to the bottom of the gulcn. When the car struck the bulkhead, Lyon was pitched far out into the ravine and fell on the rocks fully sixty feet from the end of the track. His neck was broken and the body otherwise mangled. The coroner's jury did not fix the responSi- bility, but evidently someone of the railroad crew is to blame for Lyons death.
