HEAVY BANK GLEARINGS.

Exceeded Those for the Same Week of
Last Year by the Sum VI S.ss,67O.
The olearings in this local banks
during week ended at noon Saturday
amounted to 81, 121, 1856, while for
the same period last year the amount
was 1892, 715, difference of S2Ss, $40 in
favor Of the current week.
This is large difference and indi-
Gates an unusual condition of affairs,
showing that there has heen much more
money in circulation here this weak
than there was year ago. When
Cashier John II. DANNY of the Union
National Bank was asked how he 'ac-
counted for such large increase he
said it was probably due largely to two
things; first, that many people owning
stocks have been liquidating, and
secondly, that about 800, 600 Of the
$3.50, 600 School Board loan has been
placed in circulation. Financial men
generally regard the showing as indi-
eating fine business condition and a
healthy growth.

COMING EVENTS.

fhe present fall and the coming
winter will be full uf stirring
events in the Cherokee nation and
throughout the Indian territory.
There is a wide spread and intense
interest manifested in the Indian
territory and its people. Never
was there a time in the history OF
the Indian country when so many
interesting events wer happening.
Congress will meet early in De.
cembe: and some radical legisla-
tion has been mapped out and is
now in intelligent hands in both
the senate and lower house.
The Dawes Commission is in
Vinita now with something like a
carload OF records, at work max. .
ing, OF preparing to make, a roll
Of freedmen entitled to share in
the final allotment. The work OF
this commission has always been
full Of interest, and during the
seven years of ils difficult labors
here great aud far reaching changes
have already been effected. The
crowning act will be the final roll
of all Cherokee citizens entitled to
share in the last division % the
tribal property.
The national council Of the Cher.
okee nation will convene on the
fourth Of November. This new
council may be the last the nation
will ever have. The Cherokee
people are anxiously looking for.
ward to and expecting some intel.
ligent legislation along the lines
suggested by the trend Of events
The next Cherokee council is.ex-
pectsd to make history worth re-.
cordirg
Another event Of importance will
be the convening Of the United
Sthies court at Niniiain December
The docket, both civil and crimi
nal, il very large, and many noted
cases will be ready for hearing.
The newspapers ia this country
will be full Of the most interesting
matter continually aud every one
Of the thousands who are watch

reader OF one or more territory
papers. In handling this class Of
news, especially as pertains to the
Cherokee country, the Chieftain

EDITORS TO CONFER
Upon Questions Of Importance Az
feeting Welfare of The Territory.

The commercial club of Purcell
has mailed invitations TO all terri.
tory editors requesting their pres.
ence at conference to be held in
that city during October, to devise
means TO obtain the united effort
of the press along definite lines on
questions of importance affecting
the welfare of the territory. 1t is
not to be considered a meeting Of
the press association, nor as inter-
fering in any way with the prerog
atives Of that body, but is simply
an invitation for the editors to
come together to discuss means
for obtaining much needed legisla.
tion, and the correction OF the un.
satisfactory conditions existing in
the territory at present.
A large attendance is expected
and it is thought that some plan
will bo formulated that will unite
the territory press in vigorous
campaign for relief from the polit.
ioal barriers to her progress.
