ever this paper has disputed or ever
intimated" that the Benevolent So

conscientiously performed their duty.
On the contrary we have labored with

tinue. Some people through miscon-
struction OF an article, and without
giving it careful second thought,
act too hastily. The original article
which stirred up the trouble, has GER

tinue.

DAWES COMMISSION.
Report Lays Stress on Difficulties
With the Cherokees.

In the report of its work transmit
ted to the secretary of the interior,
the Dawes commission lays great
stress on the difficulties II has encoun-
tered in preparing the rolls of the
Cherokee Nation which work, II hopes
however. to have completed this
spring. one of the greatest difficulties
to be surmounted was that of identi-
Tying the fullbloods on the rolls Of
1880 The report states that it fire.
quently requires an hour or more to
identify and determine the name of
fullblood, since he is oftener than 9TH
erwse known, at different periods, by
| different names and his recollection
is exceedingly poor.
The greatest difficulty encountered
in the preparation of the freedmen
rolls is in the cases which are being
contested by the representatives of
the Cherokee Nation. Many witnesses
are introduced on both sides, and the
record in such cases is very volumn-
ons, amounting in some Instances to
more than hundred pages of single.
space typewritten matter in n single
case. Yet the record in these cases
is by no means completed, as both
the attorneys for the Cherokee Ma.
tion and for the applicants have signi-
fled their intention to introduce much
additional evidence. II is safe to say
that more difficulties are encountered
in making an accurate roll of the
Cherokee freedmen and more time
will be consumed than with all the
balance of the Cherokee Nation.
The estimate Of the probable mum
ber of persons of all classes who will
be found rightfully entitled TO enroll.
ment as Cherokee citizens is approx.
imately 3S.5OO.
No separate land rolls have been
kept OF the adopted Shawnees. who
have practically become merged into
the Cherokee tribe. though such hndi
cations as exist do not justify the be.
lief that they are a very numerous
class. Cases are extremely rare where
the Cherokees have intermarried ex.
cept with the white race or with other
members of Indian tribes. At the close
of the last fiscal year there were still
a little over 1000 persons on the au-
thenticated roll for 1880 who had not
been enrolled or accounted for.

There are few persons" says SOL
der who long since returned to civic
ranks, who know how the name Of
buck board came to be applied to a We
hicle. 1t was way back in the EOS.
when the transportation of goods,
wares and merchandise was princi-
pally all by wagons. DR.. Buck, who
for long years after was the military
storekeeper here, was then in charge
of stores en- route to army posts in the
southwest. In east Tennessee difficulty
was experienced by reason of the
rough roads. and there were frequent
mishaps, mostly from the wagons
overturning. DR.. Buck overhauled the
outfit, and abandoning the wagon
bodies, long boards were set directly
on the axles or hung below, and the
stores were reloaded in such a manner
that there was no further delays from
hreakdowns, and the stores safely
reached their destination. The idea
doubtless was not new, but DIR. Bucks
example was followed. especially when
roads were rough. and soon much
hauiing was done by the use OF Wheel
axle and boards only. Now the fash
iohable blackboard recalls the old

As the result Of over-exertion and
exposure to heat and cold, or from
whatever cause, may be treated sue
cessfully by the timely application Of
st. Jacobs Oil. A thorough rubbing Is
necessary. The Oil should be applied
vigorously, for at least twenty min
utes, two or three times daily. when all
pain, soreness. stiffness will be re-
moved in twenty-four hours 1t will
also strengthen and harden the mus
cles. Football players, gymnasts, and
all athletes will find st. Jacobs Oil
superior to any other remedy for out
ward application, for the reason that
its action is more rapid and its effect
permanent. Thousands OF people all
over the world use and recommend St
Jacobs Oil for muscular soreness. A
twenty-five cent bottle Is quite suffi-
cient to prove its efficacy. In cases
where muscular soreness is compli

4 NEW LINCOLN M .Mu.arNr.


Beautiful and Appropriate Emblem Has
Been Planned.
Senator Cullom's project for great

plans of the Burnham, Olmsted and
McKim commission for the improve

development of these plans fine sites
for great monuments results, and 1t
was agreed that the chief of these sites
Washington monument-should be as
signed to Lincoln.
The memorial which the expert COM
mission proposes was presented simply
as a suggestion; but the Washington
Star reports that it seems to have met
with universal acceptance. A number
of the leading architects of the coun-
try have seen the drawing of it, and
have expressed their satisfaction with
the conception. In form it IS paris
lyle Of Doric columns, $50 feet long by
220 feet broad, supporting high tab
let inscribed with the words of the
immortal Gettysburg speech. The
Doric is regarded, with justice, as the
appropriate order to represent the
character of Lincoln. The drawing
shows that the monument fronts vast
terrace. or esplanade. adjoining large
basin with fountains, and at right and
left it Is inclosed by plantations, of
trees. The dignified. noble and clas-
steal simplicity of the conception ap-
: pears to indicate that the idea might

Mr.. McKim. Such a monument would
be superb ornament in any city. 1t
would most certainly be fit symbol
of the great American whose life it is
intended to commemorate.
