Complaining.

A large number of our country
exchanges are complaining of
the vast amount of trade that
goes from towns to the cities,
of the large number of packages
that arrive with every express
train from the cities and sums
it up this way: The merchants
in the country towns are loosing
trade that belongs to them and
the people owe it to their home
towns to trade at home. We
think the papers that are doing
the kicking for thes merchant
who do the complaining are do
ing wrong in not pointing out
to the home merchant the true
cause of their loss, which is
this. A city merchant uses
more space in one issue of a
daily paper than an average
country merchant uses in his
home paper in six months. The
city merchant tells the country
people through the columns of
the press what he has to sell
and the prices that he is willing
to sell for. The result is this,
they know what he has to dis
pose Of in stock without driv-
ing five or ten miles to learn,
consequently he writes letter
and orders the goods c. o. d.
Or the ladies reclining on a
couch with mother hubbard
on reads the ads in the city
paper, sees what she wants and
orders 1t. But when she picks
up her home paper and finds
nothing but reading matter IN
it she does not know wheth er
merchant, Brown or Smith has
what she wants or not, and not
feeling inclined to doff her
wrapper for a close fitting street
gown, sends her order to the
city. No paper or combination
of papers can hold the HON e
trade for its town unless backed
by the mer chants in the work
which should be a mutual abor
labor Of love.

turbances in the territory.
Chief Burlington arrived in st.
Louis early Saturday morning
and left at l o'clock for Wash
ington. where he will appear
before committee of Congress
on behalf OF his people. Some
provisions of the Dawes treaty
do not suit the Cherokees,
especially the provisions for
leasing of prospecting rights on
the Indians lands to syndi.
Gates. Chief Burlington says he
will do all he can to have this
changed.
The Crazy Snake agitation,
however, seemed to interest
him more than his Washington
visit.
He said to the Post-D ispatch
Saturday:
The white officers in the
Territory aren't very particular
sometimes about Furnishing pet.
ty offenders because they don't
always get paid for it. They
let all these lively young In.
dians who disturb religious
meetings. Sunday schools and
the like go just because they
couldn't afford to bother witt
them.
Crazy Snake and a few 9TH
ers didn't think that was right.
They didn't think meetings
ought TO be disturbed and they
decided to stop the whole pro
ceeding. So one day about %
or 30 of them got together and
whipped some young bucks who
had been trying to break up a
Sunday-school and do little
other devilment. There WASH t
a white man touched and there
wasn't any intention of touching
a white man.
1T was just about like Mrs.
Nation in Kansas. only not
quite SO bad. Crazy Snake aud
his men didn't destroy any
property. They just punished
a few young Indians who need
ed to be punished

Senator Bailey fashion, wearing
a black Prince Albert aud Il
