INDIAN AUTONOMY ENDED

No intelligent Cherokee need be
frightened or discouraged at the
action of the president in not APP
proving legislation by the Cher
okee council. The individual in
terests of Cherokee citizens are far
safer in the hands of the United
States than they were when we
had unlimited power and author
ity as an Indian government. The
shameful waste of tribal funds is
sufficient reason for congress to
forever put stop to the useless
expenditure of money for delega-
tions and attorneys. The masses
of Cherokee citizens would have
been vastly better off had congress
taken this step quarter of CEN
tury ago. The United States gov
ernment has no motive to do other
than exactly right by the Chero-
KEGS, and it is not wise for them to
entangIe their Interests by the con-
slant presence of paid lobbyists
and expensive delegationsin Wash
ington. The thing to do now is to
trust to the honor of the United
States to do right in the allotment
of tribal lands and in the per cap
ita distribution of the funds be-
longing TO the people.
Indian autonomy is a thing of
the past and it is very fortunate
for the common Indian that it is.

Spilled the Wine.

Deputy United States Marshal
Hovey captured 800 gallons of
wine last week which had been
brought into the territory contrary
to law. The wine was spilled on
the ground and no one was allowed
to taste or handle the stuff until
after it had been spilled. Several
members of the swine family hap
pened along about that time and
have been cutting up antics all
day. No arrests have been made
on account Of drunkenness.-Mus-

would better have addressed his
smallpox denial to the Kansas
health board, which has quaran-
tined Montgomery county against
his town. But the captain has the
satisfaction of knowing that Mus

has also fallen under the ban.
By the way. what great harm does
the Indian Territory suffer by her
people being barred out of south

JUDGE GlLL'S COURT.
The Grand Jury DispOsing Of
Business Rapidly.

Judge Gil!'s court is moving
along smoothly, only two jury
trials have been had to the present
time, though large number OF
pleas of guilty and arraignments
have occupied the attention of the
court. The grand jury is dispens-
ing with business rapidly and re-
porting bills every morning as soon
as court is convened. A large
number Of criminal cases will go
over till next term as the docket is
very much crowded and III is there
fore comparatively easy to get a
continuance. AT the present rate
of dispensing business the crimi-
nal docket will soon be reduced so
as to insure a speedy hearing in all
cases docketed.
There is vast amount of civil
business pressing upon the court
for attention, and as soon as the
criminal business is sufficiently in
hand SO the end can be compassed,
the civil docket will be set.
1t is pleasure to sit in Judge
ellis court on account of the very
pleasant relations that seem to ex-
ist between court and members
of the bar and the utmost courte-
sy shown every one. The worst
feature is the extremely bad air in
the room; on account Of the lack
of ventilation, the condition of the
atmosphere is almost unbearable.

was very delicate one, but
DIR. Wilson, as usual, met
with great success. The eighth
day Of next month DR.. Wilson will have
been resident of Marshalltownt TWEEN
5ty-five years. During that time he has
treated over 10000 patients and with
much more success than usual. Pa
gtients have come from almost every
state in the union, the fame OF DR.. Wil-
son not being confined to MARSHALL

patient was here from California re-
Gently. Those who are afflicted with
sore eyes and have not the money to
pay for treatment are never turned
away by DIR. Wilson and many acts of
charity in this respect have not been
known to the public. DIR. Wilson has
money sufficient to retire from BUSH
ness. and thought seriously several
times OF doing so. but would not be
satisfied to do nothing after such an
active business life, and the prospects
are he will remain here for some time
to come and practice his profession.
He is without doubht the most success

BANDS ARE COMING.
Very Flattering for Mar

Mr.. A. e. RrenneCk has Just re-
turned from trip over the Cen
trail made for the prpose Of inviting the
different bands along the line to partici-
pate in Marshalltown's band carnival.
TO be held on July IL, or on the second
day of the races. The prospects for
getting large number of bands to at
tend are very tlattering. as all seem to
fall in with the idea and plans as they
are explained. The greatest trouble, it
ia feared. will be not to have too many,
or more than the carnival managers can
entertain nicely There will likely be
from fifteen to twenty in attendance.
and those who have promised to come.
providing nothing turns up in the mean
time to spoil their plans, are Mason
City, Chaplin, Eldora, Albion, Liscomb.
Hampton. Story City. Riverside. Roland,
State Center Nevada, Cedar Falls Os-
kaloosa. Centerville and Oelwein. This
makes a list of seventeen, including the
two Narshalltown bands. Forts are be-
ling made, also, to bring the Canton. Ill.,,
band here for concert work. the organi-
cation from that city being one of the
best thirty-fve piece bands in the west.
The inducements held out to the mu-
sical organizations consist of free trans
portation to the city. entertainment
While here, free admission to the races
and 5000 in cash prizes to the successful
contrasting bands.

gram includes an unusually long list Of
performers. An especial feature has
been made of the clown contingent.
There will be twenty-five Of these
merry men Of the arena. There are
eminent riders until one can hardly
rest. The roof OF the great tent, from
end to end, will be filed with the para
phernalia Of the aerial performers.
There will be four thrilling aerial acts
in which entire families participate, to
say nothing Of a great number Of indi-
vidual acts well up under the canvass
roof. There will be two score OF aero
bats in thrilling leaps over the ele-
plants. There will be three groups OF
statue artists in reproductions OF works
in immortal marble, enduring bronze
and historic page. There will be BIZ
cyclists on the ground and wheelmen
and wheelwomen on the slender cable
in the air. There will be numerous
troups OF sensational acrobats. There
will be a thousand and one other
things.
