OFFERED INDIAN A BRIBE.

Greene McCurtain, chief of 1S,000 Choctaws, d venerable Indian of s2 years, then took the stand and told the committee that one George w. Scott, who he believed acted in the interest of McMurray, offered him one-fourth of the profit realized in the land deal, provided he induced the tribe to with draw all opposition. This offer re- ferred to the new contracts held by McMurray. the cause of the present in Vestigation
 The amount of the bribe mentioned by MCCurtain, the son of the chief, is the same as that which Senator Gore alleges was rendered to him May G by Hammon to put through the pend ing contracts, which, according to Sen ator Gore, would result in selling 450,- coo acres of coal, asphalt and timber lands owned by the Indians to a New York syndicate on basis that would give McMurray and his associates an attorneys fee" of 10 per cent, amounting to s3.00O.0O0.
 The presentation of the charges against McMurray followed another day of sensational testimony in which Senator Curtis of Kansas and Repre- sentative Mcclure of Oklahoma ap- peared on the stand to refute state ments that they were interested" in the deal
 Vice President Sherman was again mentioned and conferences held with President Taft over the McMurray con tracts were referred to. Both MT. Taft and NIT. sherman, according to Sena- tor Curtis, declared that the 10 per cent attorneys feet asked was exces- siye. The opinion was unanimous at the presidents conference, he said that in the sale of the land no attorneys as- sistance was needed. as government by treaty had already stipulated to sell the land on it's own resnonsibilitY

AN INDIAN NARRATIVE.

The spirit of the Indian war council was presented when Chief McCurtain, known as the governor" squatted in chair before the committee, and brushing the flies off his head with a large handkerchief, gave his testi- mony.
 "A long time ago." he said. many Choctaws protested against the big fees allowed under the McMurray con- tracts. I myself sent a protest to the secretary of the interior. Just before the adjournment of the last congress George w. Scott came to my home and asked me to sign a letter. l refused. He came again and told me he wanted me te write letter to the secretary of the interior withdrawing my pro- test against the McMurray contracts.
 When I said I would not, he said he, was authorized to agree to give me one-fourth of the profits if did. Yes he said, we are going to get 10 per cent fee, and you will get one-fourth. Now. you sign the letter. It will be a great bargain I absolutely refused, and he went away"
 "A good many of your tribe did sign contracts with McMurray, didn't they?" asked Congressman Miller

WEARY OF PROMISES.


 Yes. they did that because they were losing all faith in the government They had lost all faith in the govern ment officials, and in their tribal off cials. too, because they had been giv- en provinces to sell the land and dis tribute the profits in 1906. It is not done yet. The Indians are becoming disheartened over the governments promises and that's why they signed the contracts. They thought it better to get some money than none at ali"
 Are they in hurry to get the money?"
 Yes, they certainly are they need it. They are poor, for they have been living on promises so long"
 Why do the Indians have so many lawyers?"
 Because they want to get the money"
 Can you estimate how much the tribe has paid out in attorneys fees in the last ten years?"

Value of Cheerfulness.

Cheerfnlness is one of the most val
liable assets that a girl can possess.
For II will make friends, will hold
them, and, best of all. II will inspire
the individual with courage during diff.
ficult experiences that she might fail
In did she not buoy herself up with
all outward pretense of happiness.
The cheerful girl is a distinct addition
in any group She need not be witty
nor constantly talking If she has So
renity and happiness In her disposi.
tion, for she gives II out as uncon
sciously as the sun sheds It's rays. and
1t Is sufficient In point of fact, peo.
pie are like plants: they turn to the
light Of happiness and from the shad
ow of discomfort
To tell the truth. no persons life Is
entirely free from perplexities OF
some kind Everyone has his own
troubles; and to forget them is a
component part Of happiness Each
individual has far TOO many woes TO
wish to hear those of others. If we
did not have trouble We should not
have happiness; If life were all one
round OF pleasure. then we should
know nothing Of the real meaning of
happiness 1t would be as duh as q

.STOCKMEN YIELD
TO INEVITABLE
HoMEsTEADERs, WITH THEIR
SMALL FARMS, SOUND KNELL
OF ANOTHER COMPANY.

Schafer, N. D., Feb 4.-When the
Shoe-Bar Percheron Horse Co. of this
place sold to the Horse Sales Co. Of
Dickinson yesterday another big
ranching outfit Of the slope country
acknowledged defeat at the hands of
the homesteaders.
The Shoe-Bar Co, so called because
of it's brand, with G.. M. Frye and w.
Chase of Elk River, Mimi, as pro-
prietors, came into Mckenzie county
twenty years ago and ranged many
thousand head Of horses on public
land. The company maintained head
quarters on Seven-M Mile creek, four
miles south of Schafer, and until the
county was organized Ave years ago
and settlers began to file Upon the
land, ranged its herds over the present
site of Schafer in summer and back
into the breaks" along the Little
Missouri in winter.
The settlers have curtailed the range
so rapidly that practically all the land
north of the breaks" is taken-sev-
eral homesteaders' shacks standing
within sight of the ranchhouse. This
has brought the company's range
down to few hundred acres which 1t
owns and the rough country in the
hills. The herd at present numbers
400. When the deal is closed, con-
sideration of $4,000, it is expected,
will be involved. The ranch property
will be put on the market later.

Use Of SOLVENTS.

In cases of a large grease spot that
is of long standing the best and safest
plan Is to use a solvent of grease.
Those most commonly used are alco-
hol, chloroform, ether, benzine and
naphtha
These are often adulterated and con-
tain impurities which will leave ring
on the fabric. and this is as bad, or
worse, than the grease itself. Ben
zine and naphtha are the best for
wooden. while ether and chloroform
are best for silk. and may be used on
the most delicate fabrics. In applying
any Of these solvents, place a thick
layer Of clean white plotting paper un-
der the spot and apply the fluid with a
piece of the same fabric. or, ii not to
be had, with one as nearly like 1t as
possible. Then apply the solvent from
the outside of the spot toward the
center, thus preventing the spreading
of the liquid and aiding rapi1 and
complete evaporation. The spot should
be carefully and lightly rubbed with a
circular motion until dry. A thick

To Remove Grease Spots.

Grease spots may be removed in
either of three yyays-by absorption,
emulsion or by the use of soap and
hot water. The soap and hos water
process may be applied to all small
articles that can be laundered in the
usual manner and need give but little
trouble.
Large articles and such fabrics as
can not be laundered may De treated
by absorption. The application of
heat will assist in tho process by
melting the grease. Fresh grease Spots
may be often entirely removed by this
process alone. Place pieces of white
bloting paper over and under the spot
and press with a warm iron. III the
fabric is such that the heat will affect
the color, cold absorption, with French
chalk as the absorbent, can be used.
Pulverize the chalk, cover the spot
thickly with 1t, and allow IL to stand
for several hours. Then brush off with
soft brush and a steady stroke, and,
If necessary, apply the chalk sec
ond time. This chalk may be also ap
piled by mixing TO paste with ben
zine, applying it IN that form and
brushing it when thoroughly dry.
