An Iowa Indian, with a sarcastic
turn, has pinned up this sign on his

Major h'idd of the Dawes commis-

A missionary after a good deal of

1 About midnight last Wednesday
night, the house of W. A. Manty, u
prominent fanner, living fifteen miles
north of (iuthrie, was destroyed by
Hre, and he perished in the flames.
The dead man was a batchelor, liv-
ing alone, and foul play is suspected.
He went there a short time ago from
Carthage, Mo.
Near Sulisaw. I. T.. Nathan Jones,
a deputy I'nited States Marshal, shot
and instantly killed Newt Fry, one of
the wealthiest Cherokee* in that part
of the nation. Fry shot at Jones first
and was attempting to shoot again
when he was killed. Jones was guard-
ing a prisoner whom Fry was desir-
ous of releasing, and having an old
grudge against Jones he thought this
a good time to get rid of him.,
In the term of District Court at Te-

rendered, and Phillips was sentenced
to be hanged November v.'l. The mur-
der occurred May 0, 1894, and was a
brutal one. Wi li . was killed for his
money and a team of horses, and his
body sunk in the Canadian river.
When Phillips was arrested in the
Chickasaw Nation ho was wearing the
murdered man's clothing.
Returns from the investigation set
on foot regarding the t herokce Strip

first excitement of ti e opening had

Harry Carl, aged hi, was killed Sat-
I unlay by being buried under a load of

and was rescued.
One of the most important suits
ever decided in the Choctaw courts
was passed on in the 'Supremo Court
at TusKahoinma Saturday. II was

Saturday was the sixth day the
Choctaw Council has been in session,
at a cost of $'NK) a day and nothing has

lowest ever known in any form with
the present classification, and the ac-
cumulation of stocks in both products
is di couraging to the purchasers for
an advance. Producers are compelled
to sell at prices below the ordinary
cost of raising crops and in some
Western states there is also a lament-
able failure of the corn crop. t'nder
the circumstances it would be very
strange if the demand for manufac-
tured products should be quite as
large as in other years.
W heat suffers from accumulation of
stocks in sight, which are far beyond
what is usually expected for the sea-
son and tin- exports in September
were unusually small. For the first
week of October Atlantic export*
were l.n< 7,;i72 bushels, against 868,-
74(> last year: ami Western receipt*
were only 4,6ir ,r>00 agaiust 6,1.10,087
last year and these figures give some
encouragement, but little influence in
view of the unusual visible supply.
The price for cash wheat is a small
fraction higher for the week.
Corn receipts at the West have only
been a third as large as they were
last year, with exports amounting to
nothing, but the price has not further
declined after the heavy fall during
the previous fortnight. Pork products
are weak in tone, though only lard is
<jnotably lower.
I'lie condition of the industries is
in some respects more satisfactory.
Evidently there is a larger demand
for iron products than there was a
month ago, although the increase in
output has been somewhat greater
than the increase in the demand, so
that prices steadily tend downward.

Dr. .Mcliiynn said he believed Cath-
olics themselves were in a decree re-
sponsible for the existence of (lie A.
P. A., pointing to the tendency of
many Catholic priests, particularly
those of foreign birth, to discuss some
public questions with religions pre-
judices, as one of the causes. He de-
nounced the association by declaring-
it was founded on uupatrio(ic and dis-
honorable principles, and called on
all Catholics to pay no attention to
the movement.
Towards the close of the address
many of the audience left the hall.

olics. When Dr. Mclilynn concluded,
Alfred N. Martin, who announced
himself as the national deputy of the
A. P. A. league, ascended the plat-
form and said very excitedly: "Dr.
McGlynn is all wrong. The princi-
ples and teachings of the Catholic
church are diametrically opposed to numbering 70 ships,

The speaker got no further for his
voice was drowned by a storm of
hisses.

PiuiiA oki.phi a, Oct. 9—Fitzsimmon*
arrived here last night, and talked
freely of his controversy with Cor-
bett. who he is to meet in New York
on Thursday with reference to the
proposed fijit. When asked if the
date suited him as set by Corbett
after July I. Hob said:
"No; that date does not suit for
several re-'-ons. Iu the first place
t he-e are others to be considered be-
sides Mr. Corbett. What about the
club? They must have some protec-
tion. Not one could or would afford
to nut up a purse of except at
sui t a time as they see a way in
which to make it back again. The
purse has already been offered, but
July would be a very late day for
New Orleans, and the club could not
give such an amount as they would
not be able to get in at the gate. It
is for them to set the date, and not
Corbett, and he must make his ar-
rangements accordingly.
"Just what lie may do iu this mat-
ter I cannot say, but I will not agree
to any such indefinite postponement
as after the first of July. That may
mean at any time, or no time, just as
it suits Mr. Jlrady. Why he has set
such a late day i am at loss to know,
lie certainly is not booked up to then,
and could have made it earlier if he
i desired."

Almighty IJod, in his distribution of
gifts, makes no distinction on account
i of race, previous condition or sex.
The proper sohere of women is in the

Chefoo yesterday reported having

ships entering the gulf of Pe-Chili,
Their presence
in tho gulf of Pe-Chili has caused the

which left lliroschima. the Japanese

power, it is said, favored a com-
pulsory settlement of the Chinese-
Japanese dispute. The dispatch adds
that ^Sir William Vernon Harcount,
chancellor of the exchequer, sup-
ported this view of the action to be
taken, but Prime Minister Hose be ry
and a majority of the cabinet believed
active interference would be more
dangerous than non-intervention and
it was decided that (treat Britain
should not interfere.
