SUCCESSFUL CANDIDA TK.
Wo aro pl<?aa3il to note tliat our
friend W. J. Eullur was the success
ful candidate for city marshal of South
Oklahoma. The result of the elec
tion wa very complimentary to .Mr.
1" uller as all the candidates were
strong men and very popular, having
many warm personal friends. That
Mr. Fuller will make a faithful officer
there can be no question, as all his
acts in the capacity of deputy United
States marshal have proven him to hi'
a faithful and
efficient officer. Mr.
,,,, « • mm accent ii 100 ne
J hornton, hu superior officer, speakf, fore it is everlastingly too late,-Mus
gross injustice if it takes from the In
dians the lands without compeniation,
It is perfectly apparent, however, that
the government will not increase its
offer and it is very doubtful if they
would ever repeat their offer again af-
the present council. The best that
the Cherokees can hope for, if they
decline the present offer, is to get in-
to litigation as to the title of the
lands, if such should be the < itconie
it would be many years before they
could secure the purchase tnoney. It
is extremely childish to say, as some
Cherokees do, that "we would rather
have nothing if we ean'tget every dol-
lar the land would bring in the open
market." A half loaf is better than
no bread at all, and the Cherokco Na
tion cannot afford to allow eight mil
lion dollars to slip from its graBp. As
an acceptance of the government's of-
fer is the only thing the government
will contcnance, wo say by all means,
aci ept that offer and accept it too ho-
of hi in in terms of tlio highest prai;
Mr. Fuller is but a young man in
years and he has on all occasions p.ov
on himself as barve a man as the biuv
est and never shirked his no
matter how disagreeable. The people
of South Oklahoma are to be congrat
ulatcd that they have such men in
their midst. Hy the foregoing we do
not detract anything from the other
candidates who are well qualified to
fill the position. Wo congratulate Mr
Fuller upon his successful candidacy
and hopo that it is a stepping stone to
something better in the future.

OUR HRIDGES.
The mutter of bridging the streams
iieccssary to bo crossed in order to
reach the city by our settlers is of the
greatest importance. Every stream
should bo bridged at the earliest pos-
sible date. Kspecially is this tru ol
tho North Canadian. Our pc./l'
have already taken tho matter in h no
with a view of providing crossings for
tho North Canadian east and west of
tho city on ltcno avenue. This move-
ment has attained a fair degree of
success but have not as yet raised
quite enough money to build both of
the bridges. There are other streams
that seriously obstruct the settlors in
f hauling heavy loads to and from tho
oity which need and will undoubtedly
receive the proper attention before
long. As a matter of coufte it is not
expected that our settlers should en-
joy all the advantages nf old thickly
sottled countries, but the Times
anxious that each of the most needed
improvements should be taken up in
in their turns and successfully met.
even if tho burden does rest a little
heavy upon those most interested.
With tho proper courage to meet the
iieccssary improvement one after an-
other, wo will in a short time have
the most glorious country" and the
most praperous city under the can-
opy of heayen. Dwellers in the city
and claimants in the country nr.-
I LETTER FROM Maj. MONROE
Jucksonport, Ark,, Oct 30, '89.
Editor Time*:—From n copy of your
pi per which reaches me regularly, I
am made to say thai I failed to stop off
at McAlester. Such was not tho case,
I stopped one day there, but failed to
see Maj. Chadick. I saw enough, how
ever, to convince me of the ability and
intention of the company to build to
our city. Their material and rolling
stock are of the test. They are build-
ing cast and west. At their office I saw
a section of coal as it lies in the vien 53
inches thick. The road is sure to be
built. Supposing a dispatch to myself,
which I first saw in the Oklahoma pa-
pers, to be correct, I presume the ques-
tion of the right or way is practically
settled. I sincerely hope that some
rangeracnt mny yet be reached that will
' bo just and satisfactory to all, includ
n" those of our citizens who, in good
faith, have improved property upon the
ii.nt of way.
I find a great deal of curiosity about
our country. Messrs Williams & Wat-
son, the Ice Men, have preceeded me
here, and their account of our place and
people has been so favorable, that
great many have resolved to come,
soon us they can sell out. They will
make an excellent class of citizens. A
nobler hearted people do not exist. I
say this all the more freely because I
was not "born and raised" among them,
am not of their political faith, and do
not belong to the 6ame church. The
health of this country is not good; For
that reason, many, very many will leave.
I hope Oklahoma may get them all.
Thanking you for the regular, daily re-
ceipt of your paper, I am
Truly Yours

The great question before the
Cheokeo people is not wlicthr or not
their title to the strip is valid, but
whether or not congrcss will so con-
sider it. Dispatches from Wash in g-
to indicate that tho admisistration is
growing tired of the manner in which
the Cherokees conduct negotations
and radical stops may be expected if
some attention, at least, is not paid
the offer of the government at the
coming council. l'hcenix as the
friend of the Indian and champion of
Indian rights, would urge the mem-
bers of the Cherokee council to net |
promptly and decisively in this im-
portant matter. Two things may b
set down as a fact. The government
will not allow the Cherokees to In ..
er lease the land to cattle compn- v-
nor Will they allow them to dispose of
it to ;• private corporation, and it is
far more than likely that if tho Clier-
okees do not aeeopt the government's
offer, a bill will bo introduced in con-
gress, at the coming session declaring
tho land open to settlement, and al-
lowing the Cherokees the right to
contest tho titlo in the courts or not

This is to certify that I have been
suffering with chills and fever for the
past two months. Took quinine until
my head felt like a buz saw and got so
nervous that I could have licked my
mother-in-law. It did not do me any
good. One third of a bottle of No. 3
Chill Touict cured me completely, I now

disease.

dian river will furnish all the power
necessary tor all kinds of Manufacture.
The soil in the Valley is well adapted
for raising Cotton and this will be a
vast benefit to Oklahoma City.

dustries and wholesale bouses ihaM all
the other cities in the Territory put
together. Her Ice Factory has a
pacity of eleven Tons per day and ships
