that will be wort It hundreds of dollars
t > the country in the way of finding
, irav stock. Every day someone calls
j our office asking for estray oi stolen
.-took. Almost as often farmers call
.slid notify us of loose stock around
theui. There is not a more diseourag
jnp soul ami body tiring task on earth
than ruling through the woods or over
hills in search of lost stock.
For the good of the people, we have
lecided to give space each week for re-
ports oi estray stock, either lost or
a ken up in ev.rv comnuinitv. We
.larneatly request the postmaster at
liox, Buckbead, Pecan, F.ason War-
ietta, Ktawol, Henderson, Moral, Jei-
ersou City, Noble and all other office
lear them to write us on Tuesday of
each wiek, reporting all stock estray in
uis community. They will please l'e-
nort all stock lost and all taken up, and
describe such fully. Some will be con-
densed and run that week. Stockmen
. ud farmers all through the country
will fine this invaluable means id lind-
ing their stock. No charges will be
made. It is all gratis and for good of
the people. Now let every postmaster
or any leader knowing of estray stock
wri^e us by Tuesday next week.

Jav Sherman called at our office this
week and we had an interesting inter-
view with him regarding the quaran-
tine and price of feed. He said:
"Chickasaw cattle men thought that
as soon as the quarantine was raised
we would rush over there in a burch
and buy their cattle at their own
prices. They accordingly raised their
prices beyond reason. Ihornton, Gree-
inore, myself and others went south
and supplied ourselves. They have
now come down to reasonable terms
|"bere are many ticky cattle o\ei tooie,
hut there are more ticky cattle on this
side. Parties buying cattle in the
Chickasaw Nation can catch a few of
the worst ones, curry them otf' and get
the whole bunch passed easilv. 1 here
will be a number of cattle brought here
this winter and corn will bo worth JO
cents so.>n.

The situation in the l'lansvaal.where
(-'.upland is trying her hand <d tyrannv
„n another liberfY loving people, is
••rowing quite setieus. W e hove been
watching the dailies all week to get an
aitide that would describe theaflairs
explicitly, but there is little to them
but big nanus of towns that nobody
but an African can understand. Suf-
fice it to say that the war is o and
battles aie being fought. The natives
aie holding their own. An extra ses-
,ion of the English parliament has
Uen called and the war promises to
I e a serious one. Among diplomats
tircle", England has the sympathv of
llie I'nited States, but among the foui
i. on people- the people that constitute
lie sinew of our couutry—England has
little sympathy.

Otis has received messages purporting
to come from the insurgent Gen. Fio
Pillar t.Sering to sell ottt his army

uf the Ameiicans. Although be is not

in-; intrinsically improbable.

a- . list buying any surrenders.

.Something is going to bo don soon

does not bnv the Filipinos out or get a

MARTIN COLBEKT DEAD,
K very body within a radius of a hun-
dred miles knew Martin Colbert. He
at Gueda Springs. Kan , Monday, and
his remains were shipped home for
burial Tuesday. We did not learn the
immediate cause of Lis death, bnt it
was doubtlessly led on by exeeisiye
and prolonged intemperance. Martin
Colbert was one of tbe wealthiest cat-
tle men in the Chickasaw nation and
leaves perhaps $75,000 worth of chat-
tels.
