OF distinguished lobbyists and corpor'
alton lawyers who swarmed to Oshkosh,
last week, to dictate to the democratic
state convention who 10 place on It's

make, one familiar name is missed from
the list, when compared with those who
"steered" the lobby at the last session
of the state legislature j w. Babcock
was absent, but he had his emissaries
present.

Was it Sequoyah's Skeleton.


 E Fancher, real estate and mining property dealer of Snyder. gas in Law ton recently and made it point to tell reporter of his discovery of an Indian cember. The discovery was made public at that time. MT. Fancher said:
 Late one evening as I was coming in rom my work q rabbit ran in front of some rocks that had been piled on the side of small hill. followed the rabbit and in removing the rocks to get at it found the skeleton and the other things l now prize. These things 1 have yet in my possession and no little money will buy them. Among them is silver med al, four inches ii. diameter, perfeetl g4,und' gs,..' composed Of two pieces of solid siiver clamped together on the circum- ference, on one side of which Is inscribed in raised form tomahawk and pipe with their handles crossed, beneath them two ciasped hands, representing the army and navy of the United States on one of which was an American eagle and on the other three buttons to which the strips of colors were attached; beneath them are the words Peace and Friend- ship on the other side of the medal were the words, arranged around the border like the inscriptions on a dollar, I'll JJIEsFFERsON, PRESIDENT OF THE center of the medal was engraven the picture of Jefferson.
 Among the other things I found were fiintlock rifle, seven fiints, three rs of lead (hand-made), bullet molds and bull let ladies, frying pan, pipe. buckle. an ak or tomahawk, an old-fashioned English hoe and some nuggets of copper.
 From all the investigations l have made l am inclined to the opinion that the dead man was none other than Se- quoyah. the chief of the Cherokees. to whom was given this silver medal by the government for the purpose of forming an ainhabet for the Cherokee language. It is a known fact that only two of these medals were in existence and that one of them was in the possession of Sequoyah.
 Since making this Lnd book has been sent me from England giving a biogra- phy of Sequoyah. In this book 1t Is stat ed that he came into the Wichita noun tains in 1887, and there died, and nothing more was known of him. This biography states that he was crippled in the left leg. The skeleton found shows that the left leg had been affected and was prob- ably shorter than the other. There were three other men who started out with lost their horses in the Wichita noun tains. What became of the other men is unknown. According to this book Se- quoyah's name in English was George Guess or Geist.
 Mrs. Keys. who lives at Vinita, I. T., Is sister of Sequoyah, and her state ments to me bear out the biography as contained in the book. She says that he was born in 4eorgla and was 55 years of age at the time of his death. He was chief of the tribe. His home was at Tah- lequah, I. T. In looking over the medal which I showed her, she discovered Se- quoyah's picture dimly engraven just be- and the pipe. She Is positive that the re- mains are his and has made me largo of- fers for the things l have in my posses4 sion, but 1t will take $500 to get them"

OF THE BUTTER1


 A contemporary, discussing soldiers uniforms of different nations says that 'of all colors the butternut of the Amer ican Confederacy was the hardest to hit" This is doubtless true, but that color was not adopted. as some seem to think, be- cause it's neutral color made 1t a hard mark for an enemy to hit, for that this was true is beyond doubt, but that was not the reason so many of our soldiers on going out wore uniforms of that color. In the ante-war times, when ready-made clothing was much more rare than 1t now Is, at least away from the cities, the clothes of the country people were spun, woven and dyed at home. and one of the most common and easily managed dye stuffs to be had by Yhe women was ob- tained from the black walnut, which Is frequently called butternut, and belongs to the same family.
 From the bark. leaves and green nut shells of the walnut trees a brown dye was obtained and any housewife with a fair knowledge of domestic economy could dye her woollen cloth a fast and beauti- ful brown. As the trees grew in almost all portions of the South, 1t furnished the favorite coloring matter for the home- spun woollen cloth of which the mems and boys clothing was made. and 1t didn't make bad-looking clothes, either. When the mothers, wives and sisters of the enlisting Confederates were preparing warm garments for their loved ones, it was natural that they should use the fa- vorite walnut brown, and almost every regiment when they first went out had one or more companies clothed in walnut dyed uniforms. So common and almost universal was this color that the Federals soon gave the Confederates the appella- ton of "butternuts," and it chung to them through the war.
 That 1t was much more difficult, espe- cially during the smoke of the battle, to hit a man clothed in this color than If he mad been wearing bright colors Is un- doubtedly true In the war of the Revo- lution, the brilliant red and white uni forms of the British soldiers furnished q vivid contrast to the sober colors of the Continentals, and thus our men had a great advantage over the enemy. Our Confederate armies were later uniformed in gray, but the walnut brown prevailed at the beginning of the war.

A TRoUBLoUs LIFE ENDED.

Those who read in the papers the mere announcement of the death in Paris last Saturday of Isabella II hardly gave a time as famous and as much talked about as Queen Victoria. In some respects she was much more famouus, or, rather, she was more notorious, for she was part and parcel of some of the most stirring scenes connected with the Spanish court in modern times, although for more than a generation she has been an obscure and almost forgotten ex-royal parsonage
 Isabella was born in 1880, and really be- came Queen of Spain when she was but three years old, though her mother, as Regent. was the actual ruler. In 1S43 the Queen was declared to have attained her majority and was invested with the au- thorlty and power belonging to the ruler of the nation. Then, for a quarter of century, her reign was marked by almost continued internal dissensions and dis turbances which eliminated in the re- beilion or revolution of 1868 when a re- publican provisional government was es- tablished. and the Queen escaped to France. which remained her home. .fThus. for thirty-six years. the woman who ruled one of the principal nations of Europe for more than a third of a cen tury has been an exile from home and had almost passed from the memory of the present generation. A life of war and sontin ial disturbance while she was in power, and of later years of exile and obscurity has ended, and few gave thought to the many trials and vicissi- tudes which marked much of her stormy career.
