MILLIONAIRE S POOR
STOMACH.

The worn out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in
the public prints as a horrible ex-
ample of the evil attendant on the
possession of great wealth. But
millionaires are notthe only ones
who are afflicted with bad stomachs.
The portion is far greater among
the tailors. Dyspepsia and indiges-
ton are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse tor
tures than the millionaire unless
they avail themselves of a standard
medicine like Green's August
Flower, which has been a favorite
household remedy, for all stomach
troubles for over thirty years. Au-
gust Flower rouses the torpid liver,
thus creating appetite and insuring
perfect digestion. 1t tones and Wit
allies the entire system, and makes
life worth living, no matter what
your station. Trial, bottles 25c,
regular size 75c.

Leasing Indian Lands
Recent Decision Of Court Has
Been Generally Mis-
understood.

Vinita, /. 7 Feb. 26.-The re-
cent decision Of the court Of Ap-
peals for Indian Territory, holding,
that the father or mother Of an
Indian child or child that was a
citizen Of one of the Five Tribes,
could not as such make a valid
lease, and that the lease could only
be made by the legally appointed
guardian, subject to the approval
Of the Federal Court, has been mis-
understood throughout the entire
Indian Territory and people who
had large investments in these void
leases felt that they had lost their
money.
w. T. Hutchings, one of the
leading Indian Territory attorneys,
in commenting on this subject
said.
"The court distinctly decided
that the parent. as natural
qua dian, h a d the
power to lease tine land Of his
ward without being appointed legal
guardian by the court. The court
however, holds that to make the
lease valid he should first obtain an
order Of court to lease, or if that
had not been obtained, to have the
court ratify his act. The statute
was very plain that it was in the
discretion Of the court at all times
to require bond Of such parents,
and 1t further required them to
make reports to the court which
under any view Of law gave court
practically the authority to ratifyor
reject the lease.
This being the law now as defn-
ed by the highest court in Indian
Territory, at least leases made by
natural guardians without being
appointed by the Court can be
made valid by ratification of the
court, and it is fair to presume
that such ratification will be given
if the leases have been providently
made out and are such as the court
having due regard 10 the interest
Of the ward, would have approved
in the first instance"

For ChIcklsaW PsOpIs
Decision Of the United States Court
Of Claims.

Denison, Tex. Feb. 20. The
United States Court Of Claims has
handed down decision in the case
Of the chickasaw people. as it will
add over 81 600, 900 to the value Of
the money shatwill be divided with
them in the final settlement OF their
affairs.
The Choctaws adopted their
freedmen. and the allotment Of
Choctaw and chickasaw lands ia
choctaw freedmen will be IL the ex
pense Of the choctaw people, be-
cause Of their adoption of the slaves
after the Civil War.
The chickasaws, however, did
not do this, and the allotment Of
forty acres to each Chickasaw
friedman which was made by the
United States Government, the
Chickasaws claimed, was unlawful
ly taken from the chickasaw lands
and suit was fied to recover the
value Of the lands allotted from the
Chickasaw Nation to both chicka-
saw and Choctav freedmen.
There are now enrolled 4 500
freedmen for allotment in the
Chickasaw Nation. There are
about 800 more entitled to enroll
ment in the Nation. which will
make a total Of about 6ooo to be
enrolled and to finally receive allot-
ments. Each Of these will receive
forty acres Of average allotable
land, amounting to $50 each. A
large number Of Choctaw freedmen
have also taken allotments or
Chiokasaw lands, and these land:
must be paid for by the United
States Government, so that the ap.
praised value Of the land that will
be allotted to them will far exceed
81 900, 900.
