BILL ROGERS STORE CLOSED.
Will test the legality of the proceed
Ings in the courts.

The seizure of w. 9. Rogers
store at Talala by United States
revenue inspector Frank c..
Churchill has occasioned a good
deal Of excitement throughout the
Cherokee nation. When the store
was first closed the key was hand
ed back to Mr.. Rogers and he
opened up ard began business as
usual, then the store was again
shut up. Rogers will test the le-
gality of the proceedings in the
courts. He informed the inspector
if he owed anything that he was
ready to pay it and suggested that
the way to proceed would be to
seize and sell enough goods to pay
the tax and not destroy his bust
ness. The outcome is watched
with interest.

CURTIS "WORMWOOD."
Likened Unto "Murcury" of.
Mythology.

in it when it first issued from the
hands of the two commissions,
but Charley Curtis, like the little
Murcury of heather mythology,
born to mischief, comes along with
his usual little spoonful of worm
wood and in a most dastardly way,
dashes it straight into the treaty
soup. The Cherokees will never
drink of it.
He is deeply interested in the
valuables that may chance to lie
buried up,in the bowels of the
Cherokee estate.
In one OF his proposed amend
ments to the Cherokee agreement,
he says: The secretary of the
interior is hereby authorized and
directed, from time to time, to
provide rules and regulations for
the leasing OF oil, coal, gas, asphalt
and other minerals on the unallot-
ted and unsettled portions of the
lands within the Cherokee country
and all such leases shall be made
by the secretary OF the interior"
This is, in substance, the same
provision that we find in the
Curtis law; Mr.. Curtis here brings
it forward and askes the Chero-
KEGS to accept il as portion OF
their agreement; that is to say,
drink the "pisen" consenlingly,
like the good natured old Socrates
and then go off into murmurless
sleep, blessing the hand that
brought the yillianous bowl. But
these Indians are not philosophers;
Charley will never get his little
dose down them without struggle.
Look at the inwardness of this
amendment for moment. Notice
that it authorizes the secretary OF
the interior to lease all "unallot.
ted" lands in the Cherokee
country. AT the present moment,
there are no lands in the Cherokee
nation that are allotted; all are
"unaliotted lands" I" Now sup
pose we should today ratiiy the
agreement together with this
amendment; is it lot obvious that
the secretary Of the interior would
he authorized to lease every foot
of land in the whole Cherokee
country? See, too, what an easy
job it would be: on the secretary's
table at the present moment are
lying great bundles Of paper
leases, resembling somewhat in
form ordinary Cherokee bales
of hay, all done up in due shape
and only awaiting the secretary's
These leases cover all
the desirable portions OF the Cher
okee domain. Instantly upon our
adoption of the agreement, un-
these eager lessess
would set upon the secretary for
his approval OF these waiting
leases; and, according to our ag-
greemen., he would be bound TO
give it, and that before a single
allotment could be awarded.
Whether this trick upon the
Jherokees originated with Mr..
Curtis own genius, or whether it
vas put into his head by the
Standard Oil Co., or some equally
Toracious syndicate, we have no
means Of definitely knowing. At 1
my rate it has the scent ofkerosene S
bout it SO strong that these Indi- !
ms will not be deceived by it.
