TREATY PROPOSITION.
The Cherokee Council Will Report in
Favor of a New Commission.

The address of Senator Quarles
before the Cherokee National
council a few days ago appears to
have had a good effect. The gen.
tleman advised them to formulate
and submit a treaty protecting
their best interests and the rights
Of the Cherokees would Be pro-
tected by the government.
Because the senator did not state
the negative proposition several
persons who do not want a settle
ment Of any kind are telling the
full bloods that what Mr.. Quarles
meant was that all would be pro-
tected if no treaty was made.
A Joint committee from the sen.
ate and council was appointed to
consider the proposition and they
all favored . new treaty put
they split On the proposition Of
allotment by acreage or valuation.
In pursuance to a bill or resolu-
ton introduced a committee of
three senators and four council
men was appointed to consider
the ad~visability Of appointing a
new treaty commission, and it is
understood that six Of the mem
bers will report today in favor of
the creation of a new commission
to draft a new treaty and submit
it to congress.

DUTY OF H. N

The present session of the Cher
okee national council will make a
great mistake if it fails to arrange
for the making of another treaty.
The time is now suspicious and
ought not to be wasted. The gov
eminent at Washington under
stands the situation here better
than ever before, and the citizens
OF the nation know better what is
wanted than ever before. The
two treaties that have failed were
discussed SO fully, and their strong
and their weak points so clearly
pointed out as to make the fea-
lures necessary to a fair and equit-
able agreement well understood by
all intelligent people. However
there is still a small and some-
what irresponsible element among
the citizens of the Cherokee ma
ton who are opposed to anything
and everything that means the de-
structlon of tribal autonomy.

A Herd of $4,000
Unowned Cattle
Out West ~~~

the morning broke 1000 mangled
beeves were found piled one on the
other at the foot Of tremendous cliff.
The pilgrims passed on and today
there still remains a huge pile Of
blanched bones to mark the site Of the
catastrophe. A few Of the cattle, how
ever, the last to go over the bank, and
whose fall was broken by the mass be-
meath, managed to crawl out, MANNED
and bruised, to wander forth and
propagate and multiply into the herd
that now inhabits the valleys OF the
Snake and Bear rivers. The other
solution Is credited to the Indian de-
partment. Cattle furnished to the va
rious Indian agencies were all branded
with Uncle Sans special II. D." 1t is
told that when the Indians were trans
ferred from the range of the White
river to their present reservations in
Utah, the department cattle were
hastily and carelessly rounded up and
sent with them. Later round-ups de-
veloped the fact that a large number
of cattle had been overlooked. 1t is
supposed that the present cattle are
the offspring of others who escaped
the second and third Of those haphaz-
ard round-ups.

CouIdu't Wear Shoes.

Sumpter. ILL.,. June lOth.-Mrs. J. b.
Flanagan. of this place, had suffered
with dropSy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoes She had dOctOred all the
time. but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged. called for some
medicine at Mr. J. j. Dale's drug store
in Carmi Mr.. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
and he bought six boxes. His wife used
five out of the six before she was en-
tirely cured. She is now as sound and
as we'll as ever she was. completely re-
stored to health. and free from any
symptom whatever of drOpsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings. and she and
Mr.. Flanagan are loud in their praises
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of MIR.
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them.
The fact that DOdd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of dropsy. after the doctors had
given her up. has made them the most
talked of remedy ever known in White
county.

SnOWslideS In Rockies.

One of the most common questions
asked by tourists on the railroad
trains which labor through the can
yons and over the passes of the Great
Divide Is the cause of the bare streaks
on the mountainsides, where spaces of
varying width have been cleared of
timber, powders, everything which
protruded above the surrounding sur
face, making a path as distinct and
cleanly cut on the sides as il some
Titan of the hills had drawn a man.
moth rake from peak to base The
explanation that it was caused by a
snowslide answers the question, and
seems, no doubt, commonplace enough
to the tourist Those who leave the
rails and flare over the mountain roads
and trails during the summer months
grow to have a certain respect for the
mighty forces that can strip the side
of a mountain and pile up timber and
stone In the valley below sufficient to
warm a city's houses and to pave a
city's streets; but the man who really
appreciates the strength and destruct-
iveness of a snowslide is he who from
choice or circumstances remains in the
mountains through the cycle of the
seasons-the man who sees Natures

Gus moods takes to the mountains to
work of her superfuous energy; she

In the northwestern corner Of this

the man or set OF men who can devise

says Denver writer.

Unknown Colorado" is a country
still in that interesting border condi-
ton between the passing Of the In
dams, the trapper and the hunter and
the advent of the settler. This region
Is so recently vacated by the Indians
that the legends and the scent Of them
are still fresh. There are cattle on a
thousand hills, free of brand, and not
bill of sale for them held by any
man. They are to be had for the
catching. With wagon load of food,
few cow ponies, and plenty Of grit
you may secure over 1000 fat and fine
beef cattle. The old time cowboys of
Routt and Rio Blanco counties know
Of their existence, and more than one
has tried by some means to become
their owner. Several years ago an
eastern speculatOr, who had learned
the story while passing through the
country. formed a small company, but
his capital and patience gave out while
following elusive trails and the cattle
still roam unbranded. Joe Burgett,
the game warden, whose arrest of
some Indians precipitated a row with
the ties some years ago, made a de-
termined effort to capture these NAV
ericks, but he came off with nothing
better than broken leg. A fall from
his horse put him out of the race just
when success seemed near at hand,
when he mad surpassed all previous
attempts by actually riding among
the willy brutes. In the folklore OF
the country two stories are told. When
the Mormons, or Latter Day Saints, of
Utah, were travelling the desert in
search of their Zion, they struck por-
lions of what is now Colorado. In or
der to better spy out the land their
forces Were divided into several par

near by, became stupefied. The GUS

failed to check the runaway. and soon
1000 head or more were coursing mad

the country, the blackness of the night
and the absolute madness of the cattle
made it impossible for the men to head
them off. When the storm ceased and

STORY OF 4
~ FEE ~

Whenever L see a tasseied Turkish
feZ," says a confederate veteran, Il
am reminded of curious and grewsome
incident of my campaigning days.
1t was on the morning after the second
battle of Manassas he continued,
"and several of us from my company
had gone over to the field in the hope
of picking up a few things that We
badly needed and for which the dead
had no further -waterproofs. for
instance, and sound canteens. During
the previous days engagementyou may
remember that a regiment of freshly
recruited New York zouaves held the
crest of hill and were charged and
almost annihilated by Hoods brigade.
They were moved down like ripened
grain, and fell SO thickly that the
corpses literally carpeted the earth.
Well, We hadn't gone very far when we
came to this hill, and began to get
among the dead men. The poor fellows
had been mustered into service less
than a week before, and they were said
to be the most gorgeously uniformed
military troop ever organized. They
wore scarlet Turkish trousers, blue
jackets, embroidered with gold bull
lion braid, and purple fezes with long
pendent tassels.
Il had picked up fez to carry away
as a relic, and was about to leave the
spot, when l happened to notice
much handsomer specimen on the head
of little Zouaye stretched out few
yards away, with handkerchief over
his face. l stepped up to make a
swap but had scarcely touched the
tassel when low, sweet-voice under
the handkerchief said, Please DON'T
For moment" continued the vet
eran, that unpleasant protest, coming
from what l had supposed to be a
corpse, made my hair bristle on my
head. Then lifted the handkerchief,
and was shocked to see the delicate.

Mahogany sawdust or Hot Sand Are

To clean furs there are two practical

''Veneering sawdust"; that is, it IS

short and sand-like. This Sawdust will
not stick to fur like the long particles

they should be carefully looked over

moths. Before cleaning wool gar

Smallest Pony on Earth.

A pony, from Iceland, is exhibited
at Paris that stands only thirty inches
high and 1t is regarded as a wonder.
But he is freak of nature. In Corea
the ponies are all freaks apparently.
Give Bigham in a book of travel in
China and Korea, says that no de-
scriptiOn can ever summarize all the
remarkable characteristics Of the Ko-
rean horse, or rather pony. He is, to
begin with, only the size of a largo
Newfoundland dog. He is a past mas
ter at buck-jumping. He never fails
to kick or bite any human being or
other animal that he can reach. This
is so much the case that at night he
has to be slung up by the girths I'M

ground, while he spends his time
squealing and trying to savage his
stable companions, when not drinking
