WANT NO CHANGE.
Chickasaws Resent the Interference
Of Interior Department.

Muskogee, 1. r., Dec. 2o,-The
question Of absorbing interest in
the Chickasaw nation is to what
extent the Secretary of the Interior
will attempt TO control the lease
and sale Of lands in the largest Of
the five nations In his annual
report the Secretary stated that he
will reeomend that Congress give
his department supervisory control
Of tle5e matters. Under the pres
ent agreement the secretary has no
control whatever. He does not
even pass upon the approval of the
allotment deeds. They pass from
the Dawes commission directly to
the office Of the governor Of the
nation, and are issued by him TO the
allottees without going to the de-
partment at Washington.
AT present there is only leases for
five years. This lease is valid with
out the approval Of the secretary.
Guy P. Cobb, formerly United
States revenue collector for Indian
territory, states that fully SO per
cent Of the allotted lands Of the
nation are covered by these and
they are being taken up as rapidly
as the allotments are made. The
minimum price for these leases
made by the big companies is 500
an allotment where there is no i'm
provement, payable annually in
advance. Where there are impro-
vements the price is $40 an allot-
ment. The Companies pay for the
improvements and give the pro-
ceedS 10 the alOltee.
Mr.. Cobb says there is deep
undereurrent opposing any effort
Of the Secretary of the Interior to
meaA.e IA the leasing Of these lands.
1t comes from the business men Of
1.-The nation. They say that it will
complicate matters and hold back
development as 1t has done in the
Greek and Cherokee nations. No
concerted action has been taken
BY the Chickasaws, as is the case
with the Choctaws, whose governor
has called a special meeting Of the
council to oppose such action on
the part Of the department.
The Secretary's report also indi-
Gates that he viii ask that the sale
of lands in the Choetaw and Chick
asaw nations be under the same
rules and regulations as in the
Creek nation. This will be oppo-
sed BY the tribes. Under. the
Atoka agreement the Choctaws and
Chickasaws are to be allowed to
sell one-fourth of their land with
out restriction in one year from the
date Of issue of the deed The
second year they may sell one-half
and the third year threefourths.
None Of these deeds has been issu.
ed yet, but it is the general suppo-
sition that the first will be issued
within thirty days.
The Indians allege that it will
be necessary for them to sell a part
Of their land as soon as they get it
in order to have money TO improve
the remainder, and for this reason
will fight any Interference on ghl
part Of the department. til said,
too, that any interference on the
government now would be viola
ton Of the Atoka agreement.

The badger Ia great epicure In eggs
and much Of the hostility Of gamekeep-

the fact that 1t will. when it gets the

TO be fond of honey; and knowing the
extraordinary craving OF their South

that they may occasionally partake Of

GETS STUNG DAILY.
Practice of an Iowa Man to Ward
OF Rheumatism.
lie Says There lis Little Profit In Bee
Culture s0wadays and Keeps
Aplary solely to Prevent
Dread Disease.

Receiving the stings Of bees daily to
prevent rheGnatism would not be a pop
uiar remedy among people generally,
set Myron g. Beals, Of Sioux City, Ia,
has been a bee cultuTist for years only
for the benefit which he says he receives
physically from the stings of his busy
insects.
Mr.. Beals is one of the largest pro-
ducers Of honey in this country, having
several hundred hives. OF late years he
has expressed desire to retire from the
business of en- apiarist, and would do
so but for the fears that If the stings o.
his bees upon his body are not contin-
ued, after his system has become inoc-
ulated with the virus, he will become q
helpless cripple from rheumatism.
Mr. Beals Is sincere in his belief, and
points to the fact that his mother, who
lives in the east, is an invalid from rheu-
matism, and a sister is a cripple from
the same disease. II is in the family
blood, he maintains, and the stings Of
his bees are his only salvation.
There is no profit in the honey busi-
ness any more, said Mr.. Beals, "espe-
cially In the west The country has
grown and settled up so that the wild
flowers are almost extinct, and the
bees have few sources of supply for
their raw material. suppose l shall
keep my bees, however, as long as I
live
1T is a fact known to the medical pro-
fession that the sting Of the bee has yir-
tue in a curative way, and the virus can
be bought at the drug stores. I scarce

| NEW VACCINE FOUND
DR.. Charles Benin, Of Chicago Health
Bureau, Makes Discovery.
Lymph Mixed with ChIoroform In
stead of Glycerin Avoids Many
Faults of Old Way--To Try
other Experiments.

DR.. Charles w. Benin, of the Chicago
health department has discovered new
vaccine, superior In many respects to
that now used by physicians. He is not
entirely satisfied with the results obtained
and is continuing his experiment to Sc.
cure virus which will have none Of the
objections made to the vaccine now used
Many investigations have been made by
recognized physicians all over the coun-
try, but none Of them has discovered a
perfectly satisfactory vaccine.
One Of the chief objections to the vac
cine now used is the long time necessary
for It's application. 1t often takes 30
and 40 minutes to inoculate a person
with the virus because of the glycerln
with which 1t Is mixed. This disadvant-
age is obviated by the results obtained by
DIR. Benin. Instead Of mixing lymph with
glycerin In order to secure virus he has
discovered that chloroform will accom-
plish the same result.
DR. Benin has aseertained that the
chloroform kills all germs in the lymph
except those desired for incubation in
the same manner as glycerin. With the
chloroform vaccine 1t Is possible to ap
ply It in much less time and the patient IS
not compelled to wait with his sleeve
rolled up for half an hour. DR.. Benin
thinks that the chloroform evaporates
too rapidly and is attempting to secure
solution which will disappear in about
the same time It would take water to be
absorbed He has been carrying on his
experiments for a number OF years and
viii continue them for some time
After finishing his experiments with
ch1oroform DR. Benin commenced to in
vestigate with prussic acid. The investi-
cation with this solution has not prog
ressed very far and 1t is impossible to
predict what result win be obtained.
Dr. Benin has experimental enough
with the salts Of prussic acid to learn
that the solution will kill all germs in the
lymph with the exception of the germs
which are desired. IF this does not prove
to be the solution which will produce a
satisfactory virus. DR. Benin will con-
tinue his experiments with other solu-
lions. With vaccine having no OBJ
jectionable features It is thought that the
health officials will have less difficulty in
securing the vaccination of children be-
low the school age Over IS per cent of
the deaths from smallpox In Chicago this
years have resulted from the failure of
parents TO inoculate their children before
they were six years of age

as that much money in the position of

Mr.. Taggart was three times mayor of
Indianapolis, city normally republican
by from 5000 to 5000, and in 1892, as
chairman of the state committee, carried
the state for Grover Cleveland, when
his opponent was Benjamin Harrison, a

same men were candidates, Taggart, as
state chairman, carried Marion county
