LOOKING UP OLD RECORDS.
Washington Men Want Information
About Old Indian Treaties.

Charles J. Happier of the firm Of
Happier & Merrill, of Washington. ar
rived in Topeka Friday to look up some
old records in the state house relating
to the Creek treaty with the Usage In
dams, made IN 1868. The terms Of the
treaty disposed of all the Usage lands
in Kansas, except a small reserva ton.
for about 20 cents an acre. The treaty
was never approved by the interior de-
partment. A short time ago the ex-
ecutors of the estates of Vann & Adair,
a firm of lawyers in Washington,
brought a suit against the Osages in
the court Of claims for $780, coo. which
is it said Is due to the estates for ser
vices rendered to the Indians in de-
feated the treaty. Happier is attor-
ney for the Indians, and claims the
treaty was defeated by Kansas, and
not by Vann & Adair.
The Kansas superintendent Of in
struction. P. Mitchell, and the attorney
general, Mr.. Hoyt. IN Office al that time,
made several trips to Washington to de-
feat the treaty. Kansas wanted sec
lions 10 and IS IN each township for
school lands, and under the treaty this
would be impossible It is generally
understood that Kansas had more to
do with defeating the ratification of
the treaty than the attorneys had, and
Mr.. Happier is here to get the records
to offer when the case comes up this
winter.

an operation performed upon his eyes

ion.

may be in explanation of that fact.

BRYAN FOB HEARST.
He Discusses New York Situation in
the Commoner.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. civilian J.
Bryan's Endorsement of ". r. Hearst
in his paper, the Commoner. is in part
as follows:
Though much may be said in
Hughes favor as a lawyer and a citi-
zen, he will as a candidate for governor
be judged by the purpose of the pow
erfz1l interests that are even now
rushing to his support and whose rep
resentauves display such fine frenzy
whenever the candidacy of William R.
Hearst is mentioned. The people of
New York will learn long before the
close Of the campaign that this contest
is not between Charles E. Hughes and
William r. Hearst.
1.-THE question is, shall the affairs of
New York state government be admin
istered for the public benefit or with an
habitual disregard for the public in
terests Shall insurance combines and
other special interests exercise a con-
trolling voice in public affairs, or shall
those interests now prey1ng merctless-
~ upon the people and practically
without hindrance from the authorities
be brought within the leash of the
law?
whatever we may believe of Mr.
Hughes personal disposition and prob
able action with respect to these great
public evils, there can be no reaSona bic
doubt of Mr.. Hearst. Through the eff
forts of his great newspapers he has
proved his fidelity and, II any proof
be lacking. we find it In the fact that
the representatives of those interests
whose purpose is to defy the law and
plunder the people are among his most
bitter opponents
ut is somewhat significant that
among the first to charge that Mr..
Hearst is not a Democrat are those
who either belted the Democratic tick
ct or grew cold and distant whenever
the party prepared for a serious cam
paign aginst monopoly. In 1895, when
loyalty to the party was tested, William
r. Hearst supported the ticket most
heartily, and anyone who now cha1-
lenges him must have better standing
than the one who habitually bolts
when the great corporations fail to
control The Democrats of New York
who have no ak to grind. who are in
terested solely in the public welfare,
should give their support to the Demo-
cratic state ticket headed by William
r. Hearst"
