It was thought that the nhl mctu
Jenderand Kate had been captur-
ed but investigation prows the sus-
pected parties to be no Menders at
all. A Kansas editor commentinir
upon the arrest gives us the com-
forting assurance that the real Bond-
ers have boon in their grave for

ATnong our exchanges none are
more welcome than the Texas Live
Stock Journal published at Fort
WoTlh Texas. The paper is ably
editcil and thoroughly devoted to
the stock interests of the Lone Star
State The paper has been enlarged
and jtherwisc improved and gives
evidence that the enterprise id' its
edito' Mr. Loving is appreciated by
the stock men of the country.
Dr. Tanner after fasting forty
days still lives but what good the

Jn th first place we have no assur-
ance that the attendants were not in

it is not at all certain that he rc-

A "tor some delay Ave present our
readers with the Transporter en-
large! as promised in last issue.
This delay is due to no fault of ours
but to a. mistake of the founders who
misshippcd our material Urns de-
laying us a month. After this the
paper will bo issued regularly twice
a montlfln the interests of the In-
dians and of all others who live in
this country. Wo shall endeavor
to aid in the civilization and ad-
vancement of the Indians and will
triveour readers correct information
on all things pertaining to them and
their interests. These Indians are
making a very commendable- effort
to become civilized and we ask for
fhem fair treatment at the hands of
iDe white man please do not lay
all crimes committed in the Terri-
loiy to the Indians but find out
whether the offender is a white man
or fin Indian and which party was
in the wrong. We aak for the lu-
difiu fair treatment nothing more.
Itimav not he out of place to sav
thit this paper in in no way support-
ed by the Indian Department or its
employes an such. To those whose
liberality and enterprise makes th
TijAXsi'ouTicit possible we extend
our hearty thanks and while wo do
not expect to work a revolution in
joUiPiilisjn we tfhuil do our best to
nrojliuy a ptqr of winch I hey wdl

Of late be newspapers of (ho
country ha indulged in a good
deal of talkabout Indian parents
and their wilingnoss to have their
children edutilcd. Some have falsos
ly stated tha; they are op)osed t
having tlujir children sent awiuy
from the Apineies to school and
that the ibreille taking of these is
the prime cauo of frontier troubles.
About oneyeago a call was made
"1
tl
Fifteen was ll nunibei allotted but.
so great was lie pressure by the In-
dians that pemission was obtained
to send twenlufive; and twenty-five
others will star in a. few days for
that school miking fifty from this
Agency. The (ills made on other
Agencies have met with a like re-
sponse the inori influential men be-
ing most anxioiU to have their chil-
dren go. If it were true that these
children were taken by force the In-
dian whose child is thousands of
miles from him -uul in the hands of
the white man would be the last to
risk the consequences of war. The
fact that those boys and girls are
for the most part the children of the
head men of the variaus tribes is
one of the immy good reasons 4wu
have for believing Indian civiliza
tion practicable.
Those who have returned to the
Agency from schools in the Stales
are industrious and efficient work-
ers doing whatever they ? m io-J
earn money and help them on mo
road to independence. They are al-
so of great service to the Depart-
ment and their people in that they
urge others of their tribe to take the
white man's road and thereby learn
to take care of themselves. Whilw
there is yet much to be done yet the
progress in the past has been more
satisfactory than was anticipated
and when we reflect that numbers
of our own race need civilizing we
have little reason to apologize for
the Indian.
All the hauling of lumber nails 1
lime brick sand etc. has been done
by Indians. Since the middle of
July M0000 pounds of provisions
has been brought by Indian team-
sters from Caldwell and Arkansas
City and the supplies yet to he de-
livered 1700000 pounds .will be
brought in the same way. Their
work is entirely satisfactory being
quick and safe. The money till: -earned
is used with much more dis-
cretion than many persons suppose
biing applied for the purchase ff
wagons harness provisions and ujj.
or things of real value.
