CHEROKEE NATIONAL COUNCIL
A Bill For Distribution Or AIIot-
ment OF Lands.
THE BILL WILL BE OPPOSED.

Tahlcquah, |. r., Nov. a9.-The SEN
ate committee on foreign relations of
the Cherokee national council has prac-
tically finished a bill providing for the
distribution or allotment of the lands
of the Cherokee nation and will soon
introduce the bill in the senate. The
bill has been in the hands of Senators
George w. Mayes, of Cooweescowes
district and Senator Morgan, of Table
quah district. The plan of allotment
or distribution is very radical in its
advanced by the Keetoowahs Senator
Mayes has committed himself as being
opposed to allowing the legally inter-
married white citizens to participate in
any manner in the final distribution of
the lands and moneys of the tribe. An
other feature of the bill that is sure to
meet with much opposition by the
Cheroliees, and that is the plan for the
allotment of the lands of the Cherokees.
Each citizen, other than an intermar-
ried white person, is to receive his fair
and equal share in the total value of
the land, but no minimum allotment is
fixed. The old military reservation is
to be surveyed and laid off into town
lots and added to the town of Fort
Gibson, and the lots and buildings
located thereon are to be sold at public
auction to the highest bidder The
Cherokee rolls are to be dated Septem-
Der /, 1902. The bill will be vigorously
fought, both in the senate and house
by the advocates of Il liberal agree
ment.

Twenty-Five Victims.

Telluride, Col, Nov. 25.-The work
of recovering the bodies of the victims
of the disaster in the Smuggler Union
mine has progressed slowly. Sixty
hours after the breaking out of the fire
at the mouth of the Bullion tunnel, the
last body was brought to the surface.
The death list now numbers twenty
five, the brave engineer, John Nelson,
who sacrificed himself in an effort to
rescue his comrades having died. Al
most all of the dead were single men.
All the missing are now accounted for.

CANADA'S CAPITAL ACCUSED,
Never Was There Such Excitement
Physicians Association Trying

Ottawa, Canada, Nov. 25th.-This
city is stirred up as never before.
Some seven years ago the local papers
published an account of man named
George H. Kent of 40S Gilmour street,
who was dying of Bright's Disease and
who at the very last moment after
several of our best physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours,
was saved by Dodds Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that he was
cured permanently and the other day
in order to clinch the matter the pa
pers published the whole case over
again and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by Mr.. Kent,
in which he declares most positively
that in 1894 he was given up by the
doctors and that Dodd's Kidney Pills
and nothing else saved him, and fur
Their that since the day that Dodd's
Kidney Pills sent him back to work
seven years ago, he has not lost
single minute from his work. Tie is
a printer in the American Bank Note
Printing Company
Mr.. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries
personally and by letter, but he is so
grateful that he counts the time well
spent. Indeed he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodds Kid
ney Pills in very striking way by
having their little girl-born in 1896
christened by the name of "Dodds."
Altogether 1t is the most sensational
case that has ever occurred in the his
tory OF medicine in Canada and the
perfect substantiation of every detail
leaves no room to doubt either the
completeness or the permanency Of
the cure.
The local physicians have made the
case Of Kent and Dodd's Kidney Pills
the subject Of discussion at several OF
the private meetings of their associa-

Seniority Disregarded.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The appoint
ment of Gen. Crozier as chief of ord
nance illustrates the presidents policy
of disregarding seniority in army APP
pointments Crozier was jumped over
81 officers. Younger blood and fitness
for the position to be filed is now
recognized as the settled policy to work
younger men in important positions in
the army. General Crozier, who was
the inventor of the disappearing gun
carriages, is authority on all artillery
matters. Crozier went to West Point
from Kansas in 1872.

Tho Worlds Richest Men.

In this industrial era of swift COM
munication many of the greatest for
tunes in the worlo have been made in
other and even backward countries.
Mr.. Kimberley of South Africa is often
put down as the richest man on earth,
with a fortune estimated at $500 0O0,-
900, and it is generally asserted that
the late Ii Hung Chang's fortune is
nearly as large. j. H. Robinson,
another South African millionaire, is
thought to be worth 00,000,000. Chill,
Guatemala and Mexico each has at
least one man whose fortune is as
great as $50,O0O,000.

why the Sea Is Hue.

Why is the sea blue? Briefly, because
water is blue; a green leaf absorbs the
red, yellow, blue and violet compo-
nents OF ray OF light, and gives us
back the green. So tomato rejects
all but the red; blacklead is greedy and
absorbs all 1t can get; white rose
takes in scarcely anything and reflects
almost the entire ray as white light.
Water absorbs little Of the blue OF
the ray, and the effect of layer upon
layer of very light blue is to make
the mass look deep color.-London

In Light Attire.

The people of Stockton, Kan, are
laughing at a dumpy little pair of mar
ried folks who live in that city. The
fire bell rang in the middle of the night
and the husband pitched out of bed
and ran to the scene without stopping
to change his nightshirt for anything
more clothful. But scarcely had he
reached tie crowd, which already had
gathered, when his wife came breath
lessly after him, carrying his trousers,
which she urged him to put on-she
herself being clothed in nothing more
tangible than her robe de nuit.--Kan-
