Fired by Benton at National
Representatives, Sent
to Washington.
MlSSOURIAN SAYS
Lobbyists and Delegations are the
Bane of the Indian, and That
Territory Affairs are Kept
in Chaotic State Through
Their Efforts.

Congressman NJ. E. Benton, Of
Missouri, was in torn yesterday
for few hours enrouts home from
Waxahachie, Texas.
The eloquent Missourian found
few moments to discuss Indian
affairs-in which he is deeply in.
terested-with a Chieftain repre-
sentative between train times.
In referring to the chaotic con.
dition Of affairs in the Cherokee
nation, the causes leading to it and
the probability Of the speedy aolu-
lion Of the vexing questions, Mr..
Benton said:
Though congress, generally
speaking, is anxious to bring about
a speedy settlement of affairs
throughout the Indian territory,
there are many barriers to be over
come before it is accomplished.
There are three causes especially
that have mitigaled against Indian
legislation. These are the lobby
lists, the delegations the Indians
themselves have sent and the po-
lilioal influence Of non-residents
who have valuable leases through.
out the territory.

various times send to Washington,

The Grip, So Called.

There is hardly a family in town
that has not had a case OF so-called
grip. A bad cold is the trouble In most
cases. and where case OF the grip
is found, it is usually not so severe as
samples furnished last year. No deaths
have been reported OF late. The doc
tors report an increase of sickness
during the past week. A gentleman
who thinks he knows. attributes a
great many of the ills when are claim
ing the attention OF the medical fra
teruity of late to the efforts OF the
populace to celebrate the holidays by
''gorging" themselves with sweetmeats
and dainties. and thus overtaxing the
organs of the body, resulting in sick
ness.
