CHEROKEE ALLOTMENT.
Captain McKennan Says 12O
Acres Around.

lue hansas Clty otar OF yester-
day says: General Porter, of the
the Greek nation, who has been in
Washington for a month on busi-
ness in connection with the Greek
agreement now pending for ratif-
cation by congress, will leave for
the Indian Territory today. He
consulted with the Dawes COM
mission yesterday with regard to
the plans of the Indians after the
agreement between the Creeks and
the government has been ratified.
Gen Porter said that while his
people and the Dawes commits
sion, as rule, worked together
harmoniously, the Indian com.
planned at times that they were
interfered with in their plans. He
also said that the Indians in the
territory were heartily in SYM
pathy with the policy Of the gov
ernment in abolishing the tribal
laws in the territory.
He added that it was somewhat
astonishing to the Indians that SO
much sympathy was exhibited to-
ward the Puerto Ricans when the
red men have been for many years
subjected to as bad and even worse
conditions than the people of that
island.
A. S. McKennan, Of the Dawes
commission, in discussing the
commissions work today, said:
''Ths commission is now making
out the rolls OF citizenship Of the
various tribes, and when the titled
right Of land is given to all Of these
Indians the first important step in
the accomplishment of our purpose
will be effected.
The present allotment of land
per capita among the various CIV
ilized tribes is as follows: Creeks,
200 acres; Seminoles. 1903 acres;
Cherokees, 120 acres; Choctaw
and Chickasaws, who share their
lands jointly, $50 acree. This per
capita allotment means the share
of land which falls to each man,
woman or child upon the reserva-
tion, should equal division Of land
be made among the whole tribe.
"We do not expect to obtain
certain laws of the territory inside
of three years at least. Various
preliminary matters will have to
be arranged before this can be
done. There is considerable diff
ference of opinion among the white
inhabitants OF Oklahoma and the :
Indian Territory as to the advis-
ability of forming a state. There
Is a mistaken notion, even out /;
west, that upon the granting Of
state rights to the territory there :
will be an opportunity for great )
rush Of money.seekers, as was the
case in Oklahoma. This, how {
sver, is not true, for every inch of :
ground in the territory will be the 2
of some Indian who will !
rave a titled right to it. OF course :
he Indian may, in this event, sell 3
heir land, which at present they :
re unable to do, but scarcely :

A S1es,ooo Deal Closed.

The Intelligencer learned yesterday
from Colonel W. W. Arnett. who repre-
sents a syndicate of local and Brooke
county people who secured options on
from 1000 to 10000 acres OF coal land
along the river front in Brooke county,
that a deal had been closed with Phlla-
delphia capitalists who are said to be
connected with the Pennsylvania rail-
road by which their holdings are to pass
into the Philadelphians' hands within a
few days. probably, before the close OF
the week. The price fixed by the local
people has been accepted by the Phila-
delphIans, and all that remains Is to
sign the necessary legal papers and pay
over the money. It is learned from a
reliable source Colonel Arnett would
not talk along this line) that the price
to be paid by the Philadelphians Is s2i
per acre. II only 1000 acres figures In
the deal, the consideration, therefore,
would be sl6S,ooo. The land is located
on the river front at Beech Bottom and
Windsor Station. on the line Of the
Pcwiky branch of the Pan Handle rail-
road. Most OF the options are for the
coal rights alone, but there is sufficient
land acquired In fee to provide for the
necessary openings. coal tipples,
switches, etc. This deal Is one Of the
most important ever put through In
this section. and will place very large
sum in the hands of the farmers Of
Brooke county. Further details of the
deal viii likely be published before the
close of the week.

morning was rainy and the ground

carriages brought farmers and their
families in from the adjoining coun.

II noticed the other day that Mr..
Bryan said that the republican party
had no right to claim the benefit OF
the fact that pork and wheat and corn
had gone up. He was speaking of hogs
at the time. The republican party
said, four years ago, that if its poll
cies were adopted those articles would
go up. It's policies were adopted and
they have gone up. You can proper

MYSTERY OF A SEVERED HEAD
A silver Tooth Plate with Two
False IncIsOrH the Only Clew to
a Chicago Mystery.

Chicago, Oct. IA silver tooth
plate, to which two false incisors of
the upper jaw were wired, is the only
clew to the identity of the severed
human head that was found tied in a
grain sack in Cedar lake, just across
the Indiana state line.
Identification of the victim of the
supposed murder by means of the
head is absolutely impossible, so far
as recognizing the features are con-
cerned, because the head was packed
in quicklime before being thrown in
TO the lake, and the features were de-
stroyed by the action of the chemical.
The only hope of getting clew to the
mystery is that the dentistry work
may be recognized by some dentist.

In the Panther Creek valley.
THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED.
Expectations that Men Would Go to
Work Not Realized.

Shamokin, Pa, Oct. although
superintendent of the numerous col
lieries in this portion of the Ninth
United Mine Workers district at.
tempted to start up their mines, few,
IF tiny, men went to work. A few bust
ness people expected there would be
q stampede of employees of the Read
ing Coal and Iron Co., to go under
ground on account of the company
granting an increase of ten per cent.
on the net earnings of men and boys,
but they were disappointed.
Less Than Usual Showed Up.
II anything, less men showed up at
the Reading company's working than
at other operations, owing to the
strikers and their leaders having can
vassed the workmen thoroughly af-
ter the posting of the company's no.
tees informing the miners of the con-
cession. The canvassers pointed out
that nothing was said about a reason
able reduction of the cost of powder,
the adjustment of the sliding scale
or the granting of other important
concessions.
Long before daybreak all of the
Reading company's men had deter
mined not to go to work. 1t is gen.
orally agreed by most, if not all Of
the strikers, that they will not go to
work until unofficially advised by
President Mitchell.
