INDIANS ENTER OBJECTION.
Want Investigating Committee to
Visit Country, Not the Cities.

At "A conferenc, of the representatives
of full-blood Creeks and others of the
civilized tribes of Indians from Indian
Territory held last evening Chief Eufaula
Harjo stated that he has been informed
that the government had sent a commit
tee to the territory to investigate 1.-THE
wrongs that have been done the Indians"
1t was explained that this committee
would not get a correct view of the real
situation. as 1t was conducting it's in
vestigations in the towns and cities, and
not in the agricultural regions where the
Indians are being mistreated, il is claimed.
Chief Harjo said he had been informed
that the government committee is eX-
aiming white and colored people. and
not the complaining Indians, and that a
correct statement of the conditions will
not therefore be procured.
In a statement to Congress and the
American people the chief says there are
more than 10000 full bloods who do not
want to take their land in severafy, be-
cause I'VE believe what the government
of the United States has said to the In
dams to be true and never to be altered
under any circumstances.
The Indians" it is further stated. do
not live in towns or cities like the white
and colored people, but have their homes
in the country.
investigating committee will not contne
its la bors to the cities and towns. but will
visit the Indians in their rural homes.
Complaint is also made that Intoxicating
liquors are struggled into the territory
and given the Indians in violation of law !:
that Indian children are driven from the
public schools. and that needless arrests
of Indians are made under fiimsy pre-
texts. The government is asked to remedy
these evils.

With Tricky Dealers 1t
Is Different.

Something else that pays them a
little greater profit will be urged
upon you as lust as good or
even better. You can hardly af-
ford to accept a substitute of .un-
known composition and without
any particular record of cures in
place of DR.. Pierce's medicines,
which are of known composition
and have a record of forty years OF
cures behind them. You know
what you want and it is the deal
