Every geo. graphy published has Tahlequah as the capital of the Indian territory. The maps of the territory in these geogra- phies show scarcely any other towns. But Tahlequah is always played up in heavy black letters, with the star rep | resenting the capital. It is about time that authors of geographies knew something of the geography of the h. dian country, and the educators here ought to draw their attention to the inaccuracies of the textbooks on geo. graphy." As a matter of fact, says the | Chicago Inter Ocean, the Indian terri tcry proper has no capital, as it is rot | a regularly organized territory. It is simply the Indian territory. The seat
 of government is Muscogee. Each of I,se.

 cured through an employment agency here. which has orders to send all "the
 hands" that can be obtained. Several | nf hn men were written on the stationary of well-known hotels, while frequently monograms graced the note paper of the applicants. The reasons that ac- centuate the students in going to the
 West to harvest wheat are varied Some of them need the money to pay their tuition next year; some are going for lark, while other more serious l young men are going for the experi- 5 ence and for the educational value of the trip. At the employment agency 5 today several of the embryo harvest
 hands were dressed in fashionable at tire and evidently are not tempted by ! the high wages offered by the Kansas
