A Lost Cherokee Found
Sinco the land office has lieea
ripened at Tahlequah there have been
come remarkable instances of Chero-
kees who have been gone for years
and all trace of them lost ty their
families, who have suddenly shown
l.p to file on an allotment. One of
the most remarkable of these was
when Mrs. Ina Adams, formerly Miss
Ina Foreman, came from New York
city, where she lives, to file on an al-
lotment. She is a Cherokee by blood
tand is well remembered by many citi-
zens, who knew her when she was a
student in the seminary for women
at Tahlequah, the Cherokee national
school for girls.
As Miss Foreman she went on thre
stage. She was a member of the
"Blue Beard" ballet, and was playing
at the Iroquois theater in Chicago
when the great fire occurred. She
narrowly escaped with her life. The
experiences of that night took all the
charm of stage life away, and she
went to New York, married, and Is
now living tliere. Cherokees have
come from the Atlantic and the Pa-
cific to file on allotments.
MURPHY TO CONGRESS
Deposed Creek Attorney Elected to
Congress From Missouri
MUSKOGEE: Tho report of A. P.
Murphy's election from the sixteenth
district of Missouri, is tho cause of
much comment in Indian Territory.
The interest in his reported elec-
tion arises from the fact that he was
a resident of the territory for several
months and was attorney of the
Creek national council until dismis-
sed by Chief Porter la.st spring fur al-
leged incompetency. Murphy made
charges against Chief Porter and the
Indian agent which led to the Bona-
parte investigation, resulting in the
vindication of both Chief Porter and
Mr. Shoenfelt. Murphy then filed
two civil suits against these officials
which are still pending.
The friends of Murphy in Indian
Territory say that his election, if se-
cured, vindicates his course. They al-
so believe that he will be a friend of
Indian Territory in congress and as-
sist in getting favorable legislation
for the territory.

Debs Polls Over 600,000 Votes cr
Nearly Four Per Cent cf All
NEW YORK: Leaders of the so-
cialist party are authority for the
statement that Eugene V. Debs, the
party's candidate polled over 000,000
votes in the recent electicm, or more
than four per cent of the total vote,
according to a story published by the
World. Four years ago Debs received
97,730 votes for the office. The party
leaders say over 100,000 Debs vote3
were cast in Illinois.
In speaking of the division of the
vote, among the leading states, the
secretary of the socialist party says
In a statement:
"The states showing the greatest;
ratio of increase are Illinois, Ohio, j
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, '
■Michigan and California. The news
from Washington estimates a large
increase, but no figures are given.
The only decreases reported are from
Massachusetts and Colorado, the vote
in the former state being half of that
cast in the state election of 189:5.
"Illinois gives 100,000; New York
about 40,000; Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin and California about 30,-
000 each and Minnesota, Missouri,
Indiana and Iowa between 15,000 and
20,000 each. Massachusetts, Michi-
gan, New Jersey and Washington
Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho, Utah. Ore-
gon, Montana and Texas from 5,000
to 10,000 each; Maine, Maryland,
Tennessee and West Virginia should
give from 2,500 to 5,000 each.
Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ne-
vada, Rhode Island, Vermont, Vir-
ginia South Dakota and Wyoming
give from 300 to 1,500. The two Caro-
linas together did not give more than
500."
Debs made a good run in New
\ ork City. Although the official tabu-
lation has not be?n completed, re-
turns at tho bureau of elections show
that Debs received 24,954 votes in the
greater city.
In Masachusetts, Debs got 12,854
votes, or less than three per cent. In
Connecticut he polled 3,500; in Rhode
Island 800 and in Vermont 747.
A jubilee banquet is to be tendered
Mr. Debs in this city soon.

PECULIAR SITUATION
Persons Who Are Entitled to Quarter
Sections Fail to Claim Them
MUSKOGEE: The novel situation
of being compelled to send out a
searching party to induce Indians to
go to the Cherokee land office at
Tahlequah and select allotments now
confronts tho Dawe3 commission. It
is not usually supposed that anyone
would allow 1G0 acres of good land to
go begging, but hundreds of Indians
of the fiv civilized tribes arc doing
this.
When the enrollment lists wore de-
clared closed at the Cherokee land of-
fice in June, 1902, there were 2,2G9
persons entitled to allotments who
had not
enroll.
are now nearly 1,000 Indians, mostly
fullbloods, among the Cherokees
who have not even manifested suffi-
cient interest in securing their allot-
ments to go to the Cherokee land
office and file upon them.
The locating party will be sent out
from the Cherokee land office, and its
duty will be to hunt up such of these
persons as can be found and induce
♦hem to file upon allotments. The
party will consist of five persons, and
most of its time will bp spent In the
mountain districts and the woods,
where the fullbloods live.
Among those who have not taken
allotments are the Snake Indians,
who oppose the allotment policy of
the government.
These people are called "night owls"
in the Cherokee nation, because they
hold pow-wows on the hills ou moon-
light nights. There is also a class of
Indians who have no idea of the value
of land, and who do not consider it
worth their while to make any effort
to secure a quarter section of ground.
There are others whose names appear
011 the Cherokee rolls who have re-
moved to other Indian nations and
have selected allotments there. There
are numbers of this class, and their
names wiil bo stricken from the rolls
of the Cherokee nation so soon as
the facts in their cases can be ascer-
tained. Doubtless a number of per-
sons whose names are on the rolls
have died, and then' relatives or
friends have failed to notify the com-
mission of that fact. The searching
parties will endeavor to secure a corn-
even taken the trouble to I plete list of these, and wherever pos-
it is estimated that there sible see to it that their heirs receive
allotments.
According to present arrangements
the Cherokee land office will be closed
some time between January 1 and
July 1 of next year. It is necessary
therefore, that the business of the
office be disposed of as rapidly as
possible. The searching party will
take a complete camping outfit and
live among the Indians in true abo-
riginal fashion. It will be accom-
panied by an interpreter who can
talk to the fullbloods, most of "vliom
cannot speak English.
PARKER NOT DISHEARTENED
While He Greatly Deplores His Defeat
He Is Not Downcast
Esopus, N. Y.—Judge Parker early
conceded the election of President
Roosevelt, when he received a bulletin
that the democratic national headquar
ters had already admitted that every
doubtful state had been carried by
the republican ticket. He appeared
to be not at all downcast by the re-
sult, although it is known that he

President Roosevelt carried the stato
by probably 75,000. Only two coa
gressional districts, the Second and
Third, vtere at any time in doubt, and
late figures place them in the re-
publican column, thus giving a solid
republican delegation from Nebraska.
The legislative returns are still
quite incomplete, but from figures
available it is reasonably certain that
both houses of the legislature will be
clearly republican.
