HAS FIVE CAPITALS.
Authors of Georgraphies Know Little
About Indian Territory.

MUSKOGEE, I. T., May 1.-THE educa-
tors Of the Indian Territory should en-
deavor to educate the various schoolbook
publishing companies in regard to the capt.
tails Of the Indian country" said Tams
Bixby, chairman of the Dawes commission.
Every geography published has Table
quah as the capital of the Indian Territory.
The maps of the Territory in these geog-
raphies show scarcely any other towns.
But Tahlequah Is always played up in
heavy black letters with the star represent
ing the capital. 1t is about time the au-
thors of Biographies knew something of
the geography of the Indian country, ard
the educators here ought to draw their at
tention to the inaccuracies of the text
books on geography" AS a matter of fact,
the Indian Territory proper has no capital,
as 1t is not regularly organized Territory.
1t is simply the Indian country. The seat
of government Is Muskogee Each of the
five civilized tribes. however, has a capital.
Tahlequah is the capital of the Cherokee
nation, Okmulgee OF the Creek nation,
Tishimingo OF the Chicksaw nation, We
woka of the Seminole nation and Tuska-
homa of the Choctaw nation.

constitute a days work resulted in the
closing of numerous collieries through

At some OF the collieries the men laid
down their tools after they had worked
eight hours, and at others they remained
in the mines nine hours, but refused to
work ten hours when requested to do so
by the superintendents. The operators
assert that they will pay the men only for

claim this to be a violation OF the agree
