Th« crowning and one of the
most enjoyable events of the holi-
day revelry was the social watch
part? at the Cottage Hotel in
honor of the popular hostess, Miss
Cora Wright. Mr. B. A. Davis, in
order to give permanenpy to the
event, dedicated a page of hie hotel
register to the party and had every
guest pen his own name in his
own chirography, All sorts of
games (except cards) were in-
dulged in to the great satisfaction
of all the many guests. We had
intended to give a copy of the
agister as it appeared, but for lack
of time and space sutiiae it to say
that nearly every member of our
social circle was present and felt it
was well to be there. Those who
were present could not see when
the old year departed and the new
one made its advent except by
the clock. Strange such a big
thing can get off unobserved.
Watch meetings are places where
people meet to see something
they know they will not see, how-
ever, however this does not pre-
vent the Cottage party from being
one of the best social successes of
the season.

meets them once a week at the
Bchool house. He is one of the
best musicians in the south and no
doubt the boys Will progress very
rapidly under his tutorage. He
comes down every Monday even-
ing and the boys pay him $5 per
lesson and expenses. The ex-
penses are very heavy on the boys
and the people of the town should
be more libefa.1 and help them out
with the pecuniary part. A band
is a necessity in a growing, live
town <>i)d every one should be con-
cerned in supporting it. The boys
will give a concert iu a few weeks
to raise uioney and we hope all
will stand up and be counted on
the right side.

getting in the furniture business, for he
sells at a very small margin. The pub-

LEASING INDIAN LANDS.
Mr. E. F. Mitchell a leading
citizen of El Beno and attorney
ior the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe
Indians, has something interesting
to say on the Indian problem in a
recent issue of the El Beno Dally
Eagle. This gentleman is said to
be fitted to discuss this question
account of his intimate ac-
quaintance with the red men, and
the fact that he has handled
their business mutters for some
time and possesses their confi-
dence and esteem. Begarding
the present condition of the abori-
gines he writes as follows:
These people are very clan-
nish and have always been to-
gether. To separate them would
be a great hardship on them.
Their family ties are much strong-
er than those of the white man are.
An Indian thinks almost as much
of a sccond cousin as a white man
does of a brother. You hardly
ever hear an Indian baby crying
because its mother takes such care
of it that its wants are attended to
at once; hence its contentment and
happiness. Now to separate these
people would be unjust.
Very few of these Indians have
ever worked or know anything
about farming. It is true they
have had Indian farmers in all
agencies to show them ho\v, But
only the younger ones seem to
catch the idea. When separated
from each other they do not give
the crops the care needed, for they
do not realize how disastrous it is
"to leave a half grown cfop aod go
to visit their relatives. They
think that a crop, once planted,
should grow—and thia only among
the younger ones; the older ones
do not take to any kind of work
that will interfere with their social
relations."
As a remedy for this imsatiftle-
tory state of affairs Mr. Mitchell
proposes leasing their lauds. Such
n plao would, he says, be agreea-
ble to both the whiteB and the In-
dians. Following are his words;
"My plan, which would suit the
Indians, would be to lea3e Such
lands as are available on the fol-
lowing terms, knowing as we do
that little can be realized on uny
crop tho lirst two yeafs on this
prairie land, aud the first year
comparatively nothina on sod. j
I think the land could all be leased
in ouee year by charging say $15
per -year for each 1G0 aeres of funn-
ing land for the first three years,
having it stipulated in the con-
tract that tho lessee should the
first year break all of such land as j
was suitablo for plowing, but in!
no case should less tfrdn 100 acres j
be broken; bwihl a substantial i
house not IMS tliau 14x2 feet, j
well ftiimtie'#, lathed Mui pIa8tfuiK.it
Washington, Dec 24.—The sub-
committee of the house committee
on Indian affairs has been consid-
ering the appropriation bill sev-
eral days and will report it soon
after the Holidays. There is a
proposition before the committee
to make a reduction in the ex*
penses ol the Indian schools.
Representative Wilson, of Wash-
ington, who is a member of the
committee preparihg the bill, say#
there is a general feeling that th#
Indians can be be better educated
on their reservations than in the
east.
"There is no longer a frontlei,''
said Wilson; "railroads, telegraph
and telephones have obliterated
it."
The committee has also been
considering what to do with the
improvements made by the church
for contract schools, and it has
been determined to appropriate
$(>0,000 to buy a number ol them,
and to begin acquiring them at
about 20 per cent each year. These
improvements in the 'Way of
church buildings were made by
the churches wh'n the contract
system was in forcc. Now it hal
been determined to discontinue
the contract schools.
Members of the committee be-
lieve it will be fair to the churches
and a good thing fot the govern'
ment tc acquire the buildings,
which are suitable for school pur<
poses. If these purchases are pro-
vided for they will be under thfc
direction of the secretary of the
interior
Secretary Smith has been asked
to furnish information as to the
desirability of obtaining thes«
buildings.
A NOVEL WEDDINfJ.
On the evening of January 2d, whili
about a hundred guests were being
tertained at the residence of Mr. Jerr^
McCluskey, it was announced that Mi1!
H. A. Cherry and Miss Mattie McCiui*

advanced to the center of the room and
ceremony was performed by Bet; BelJ
sher. It was a surprise .to most all
present. They leilve tonight for thei*

tl'o business. They will top over §
