IVING SALE!
:.
The Greatest The Grandest The King of All!
We will for one week from November 26th '97 inaugurate one of the grandest Thanksgiving- Sales you have ever had the pleasure of attending for no cause on earth except to keep business booming and incidentally
to get a little more cash in my business. We are very thankful and we want to show our appreciation of the immense trade you have given us in the past year by offering you some rare bargains for one week. Remember
it is only one week. We would have to quit business if this great sale continued for a much longer period. Its your own benefit. We tell you what we are going to offer. You don't have to buy. In fact the less you buy
the better off we will be financially for this one week's great sale will be a money loser for us. But it matters not; we have done a large business in the last year. Our profits have been small but we have made money and
can easily stand the loss of any profit for one week but remember it is only one week. Cast your eagle eye over a few of the stunning bargains we are offering: '

were double any former purchases

floor" on prices. We never paid
a rise on a single item in our stock

THE CITADEL INVADED.
THE GOTSBXMEXT SURVEYORS AT
TAHLEQUAH.
Too-Qaa-Steew.r7ltiiesseg an Incident
in tie March or Cirlllzatlon Re-
calling an ETeat in the Old Nation.
Editor Chieftain: It is fre-
quently said and apparently with
a good deal of truth that "history
repeats itself." Last Tuesday as
I stood upon the capitol grounds
in the town of Tahlequah I wit-
nessed what seemed to be a very
interesting verification of this old
saying.
The national council had just
convened in annual session and a
mixed multitude of interested cit-
izens had come in from all parts of
the nation and were assembled
about the capitol to witness the
opening of the two new houses of
the legislature. The aggregate
personel of the occasiou presented
an appearance unusually Indian;
for the contest in the late cam-
paign owing to the peculiar na-
ture of the issue involved had re-
sulted in a pretty general defeat of
the white constituency and the re-
turn of representation taken al-
most exclusively from the fullblood
class. Tbe same causes too that
had brought about this radical
change in the complexion of the
two houses has also awakened in
the mindsof the rural classes par-
ticularly the fullbloods some feel-
ing of anxiety in reference to the
way in which their public affairs
were biing managed at the seat of
government; and many of them
leaving their homes in tnis country
had repaired to the capital hoping
to see or hear something that
might either quell or confirm
apprehension.
The convention was BUth as to
remind the observer very forcibly
of those old days of gold when in
the public councils of the nation
youth was required to sit and re-
ceive lessons of wisdom at the feet
of age; wheu incompetency and
want of moral worth were at a dis-
count; and when patriotism and
experience were allowed to direct
the affairs of state. Indeed it
seemed to be a repetition by no
means inexact of that memorable
meeting of the Cherokee people
which had been convened some-
thing more than a half century be-
fore at Bed Clay the old council
ground of former generations
away in the east beyond the Mis-
sissippi where it will be remem-
bered the Cherokees were caught
under the "drop" of General
Scott's musketry and compelled to
subscribe to the socaUed treaty of
1897.
The stale of Georgia had enacted
a law abolishing the Cherokee
government an example which
the United Slates is proposing
now literally to imitate; surveying
parties just as now were strolling
up and down the country laying
off the Indians' lands into sections
and quartersections; and commis-
sioners of the United States too
just as now were on hand solicit

ing or rather demanding of the
Cuerokees their assent to an ar-
rangement by which they were to
surrender their old homes into the
hands of the white people and be-
take themselves to new ones in the
remote west.
Last Tuesday the second day of
the sesbion a little incident occur-
red in the open air which illus-
trated this strange rotary tendency
in the current of human affairs in
a way which excited a good deal
of romantic interest.
The day was all that the most
ardent devotee of pleasure could
reasonaoly demand of the skies;
it was one of those silvery twelve
hour gems of light that come now
and then floating along down the
cloudy current of time to cheer the
gloomy earth and give the world a
brief season of song. It was
among the very earliest days of
the winter; the frost had not yet
touched the summer green of the
trees that stood hovering about the
solemn brown walls of the capitol;
and the mellow autumnal day
beams were falling aslant into the
intervals adorning tbe surface of
the grassy common with countless
fantastical figures curiously
wrought out iu the intangible tra-
cery of sunlight and shade.
Here tbe people were all as-
sembled about one o'clock p. m.
intent for the moment upon noth-
ing more than merely the con-
sumption of a little surjlus time;
for at two the machinery of the
national council was expected to
go into initial operation and all
were simply waiting to witness tbe
event. Some sat sucking at their
cigars and sending of tbe smoke
curling into the bright pure air;
some lounged at length upon the
shaded grass; some were lodging
upright and restfully against the
trees fences and walls; while by
far tbe greater portion of the
crowd stood here and there grouped
into bunches of from two to a half
dozen or more in number and all
quietly and earnestly engaged in a
friendly discussion (doubtless) of
some phase of the great crisis
which is just now so darkly over-
shadowing the country.
But now just in the midst of
thisquiet scene of social relaxa-
tion there came to be heard a
strange kind of tapping and pick-
ing and picking on the basal stone
of one of the back windows of the
capitol building. The effect of this
unwonted dound so much out of
lime and place upon the aspect
of the assembly was truly electric.
At once the crowd arose and rolled
off en masse like a great water-
wave in the direction of the little
phenomenon while the curious
in
quiry
"What is it?" shone out
plainly upon the features of every
face in the great throng. And sure
enough what was it? It proved
to be simply this:
Three young white men in leg-
gings up to their knees stalwart
dusty and weather-beaten a small
detail from the United States sur-
vey corps in running a section
line up from the south had struck
the southern boundry of the town

Now is the time to make vour
purchases in this line. Another
instance of too heavy buying. We
plot of Tahlequah and following
the bead of their little telescope
had pushed their mystic demarca-
tion right through the massive
walls of tbe city traversing ele-
gantly furnished parlors bedrooms
dining halls and wardrobes; and
on through every thing however
solid and sacred that came in the
Way. until it reached the masonry
of the capitol: and all this had
been accomplished quite unbe-
known to- anybody and without
awakening the least manifestation
of public attention. So quietly
works the finger of destiny among
the children of men!
These boys (they seemed to be
only striplings) had stopped here
for only a short time in order to en-
grave upon the stone window-sill
of the capitol the seal of finish for
their work up to that point; that
was all. This little job completed
on they went carrying their line
through the heart of the nation's
proud capitol through the treasury
chamber through the great iron
safe and the dark vaults wherein
lies the untold wealth of the re-
public and on through the north
wall of the building and out again
into the open air and on toward
the north star driving through
thickets threading forests climb-
ing mountains scaling primeval
cliffs turning n-ither to the right
nor the left and on. and on to
where? And echo answers where?
The social manifestation that
came into view during the currency
of this little episode furnished
material for some very curious re-
flection. When these same fellows or
some very much like them came
dragging their little chain along
over our lands in the state of Geor-
gia the Cherokees were by no
means so proficient in the art of
practical prudence as they have
since come to be. Then when the
proprietor saw the survey com-
pany nearing his premises he hes-
itated not to step out meet them
and in the spirit of a tiue son of
the fortst forbid them from enter-
ing or crossing; and in many in-
stances offered genuine resistance;
but to the Georgian militia who
never relished anything better
than a plausible pretext for "get-
ting away with an Indian" these
madcap adventures were only re-
garded as occasions of exquisite fun
These recusant characters were in-
stantly snatched up handcuffed
and carried off down to Gainsville
and there locked up in the iron
jail. Then there was only one
way by which these offending In-
dians could get out of prison; and
of that they could avail themselves
at any moiqent they might see fit
to tfo so: namely by giving satis-
factory pledges that they would go
a3 soon as released to the enrolling
office and there ''enroll" for em-
igration; and then be off for "Ar-
kansaw" in the shortest practica-
ble time.
Quite different from this was the
way in which the Cherokees met
Uncle Sam's survey boys last
Tuesday. As the little blue-eyed

Nov. 15 1S97. Too-qua-stee.
On the Road to Mexico.
Our latest advices indicate that
a triple expedition with the same
number of horns is getting under
way to invade the "Halls of the
Montezumas." One column com-
posed of Cherokees under com-
mand of Col. Bed Bird Harris
with a large admixture of Kee-too-wahs
is organizing in the mount-
ains of the Cherokee nation and
when the buds begin to bloom
and the spring time has come
Gentle Annie it will go forth to
ihe land of promise and the happy
land of Canaan of the unrecon-
structed fullbloods. Col. Harris
has demonstrated to his followers
that Mexico like unto Heaven is a
land of eternal rest sunshine and
flowers and that it contains
Elysian fields and no alkaline
plains and granite bowlders and
what is more to the point there is
a certain tree that grows there the
fruit whereof is bread more lus-
cious than a corn "dodger" or a
Presbyterian "Johnnie cake" and
by making an incision into its
bark a lacteal stream will burst
forth lar in excess of that fur-
niched by any milch cow that oyer
cropped the grass oil of our rolling
savannahs. Beneath its shade you
can lie down and take your siesta
and natives will hand around a
meal more delicious than was ever
served at Delinonico's. The sec-
ond expedition is to be led by
Chief "Spieche" himself and will
be composed of descendants
of those grand old warriors
who fought old Jackson at
Emuckfaw Talladega and Hor.-e

Owen Congratulates the Commission.
1 Following is a copy of letter re-
i ceived by Rev. . A. Duncan
member of the Cherokee commis-
'sion from R. L. Owen:
"I wish to congratulate you and
the Cherokee commission upon
the magnificent communication
i stating the position of the Chero
kees to the Dawes commission.
I really feel proud of the manner
in which the commission has con-
J ducted this matter.
"The Cherokee nation is power-
1 fully entreuched upon her patent;
' her system of land holding next
to that of Henry George is in my
i opinion the best known to the
world and you have strongly and
beautifully presented the case
witii a diplomacy of lone and Ian-
I gunge that cannot be surpassed.
I Under all the circumstances I
think you have acted with wisdom
l and if you will follow the line
vigorously upon which you have
I started you may yet succeed in
' wrestling substantial victory out
of defeat. The great body of men
in congress and including the
Dawes commission itself are con-
strained by the great spirit to love
and admire justice and desire to
do right and if the case is present-
ed so as to secure a hearing and
1 prove to the people of the United
States the noble and upright pur-
1 poses of the Cherokees they will
find friends spring up on every
I hand.
"The position taken in your ad-
dress to the c mmission in my
judgment should be vigorously
j pressed and everything done
I which can be done to undo the bad
I public opinion into which the In-
1 dian governments have fallen.
This should be accomplished not
; only by evidence and protestation
i but by that which speaks louder
than words by acts in choosing
1 and selecting competent officials of
thoroughly approved integrity.
Sometimes it helps a man to have
word of sympathy and. I send you
! this inspired by that feeling."
! How to Look Good.
Good looks arc really more than skin.
' deep depending entirely on a healthy
I condition of all the vital organs. If
the liver be inactive jou have a bil
ious look: if your stomach he disorder-
ed you have a dyspeptic look; if your
kidneys bo affected you have a pinched
look. Secure good health and on will
surely have good looks. "Electric
bitters" is a good alterative a.id tonic.

The Judges Disagree.
Muscogee I.T. Nov. 20. Fed-
eral Judge Thomas recently ruled
that non resident defendants in
divorce suits must be personally
served with summons before de-
crees would be granted but Fed-
eral Judge Springer who is also
holding court in the northern dis-
trict of the Indian Territory will
recognize service by publication in
the cases allowed by law. Yes-
terday Lee Townlej' who was sen-
tenced by Judge Thomas in July
to sixty days in jail fined S 100 and
costs an'd committed until the sen-
tence should expire and the fine
and costs be paid at 75 cents a day
applied to Judge Springer lor a
habeas corpus writ under a "poor
convict" law which authorizes a
discharge after thirty days served
for fine and costs and the latter
magistrate ruled that the act under
which Townley had bben pun-
ished did net repeal the "poor
convict" law and released the man.
There have been other illustrations
of these judges' ways of looking at
things.
