TO MAKE THE FINAL ROLL
Important Notice Issued By
the Dawes Commission.
The Dawes Coin mission will be
in session at Muskogee from
Jar nary 10 to February 2H, 1901.
for the purpose of hearing ap-
plications for enrollment as citi-
zens of the Cherokee Nation.
During this session all Cherokee
citizens who have not heretofore
enrolled should present them-
selves for enrollment. This work
is being done preparatory to
making flnaL rolls of Cherokee
citizens under provisions of the
act of congress approved June
28, 1898, as follows:
••Thatin making rolls of citi-
zenship of the several tribes, §is
required by law, the commission
to the five civilized tribes is au-
thorized and directed to take the
rolis of Cherokee citizens of 1880,
not including freedmen. as the
only roll intended to be confirmed
by this and preceding acts of
congress, and to enroll all per-
sons whose names are found on
said roll, and all descendants
born since the date of said roll to
persons whose names are found
thereon; and all persons who
have been enrolled by the tribal
authorities who have heretofore
made permanent settlement in
the Cherokee Nation and whose
parents, by reason of their Cher-
okee blood, have been lawfully
admitted to citizenship by the
tribal authorities, and who were
minors when their parents were
so admitted: and they shall in-
vestigate the right* of all other
persons whose names are found
on any other rolls and omit all
such that may have been placed
thereon by fraud or without au-
thority of law, enrolling only
such as may have lawful right
thereto, and their descendants
born since such rolls were m/de,
with" such intermarried white
persons as may be entitled to
citizenship under Cherokee laws.
Said commission shall make such
rolls descriptive of the persons
thereon so that they may be
thereby identified, and it is au
thoriztd to take a census of such
of said tribes, or to adopt any
other means by them deemed
necessary to enable them to make
such rolls. They shall have ac-
cess to all rolls and records of
the several tribes and the United
States court in Indian Territory
shall have jurisdiction to compel
the officers of the tribal govern-
ments and custodians of such
rolls and records to deliver same
to said commission, and on their
refusal or failure to do so to pun-
ish tham as for contempt; as also
to require all citizeus of said
tribes, and persons who should
be so enrolled, to appear before
said oorctnissiou for enrollment,
at such times and places as may
be fixed by said commission, and
to enforce obedience of all others
concerned, so far as the same
may be necessary, to enable said
commission to make rolls as
herein required, and to punish
any one who may in any manner
or by any means obstruct said
work.
"No person shall be enrolled
who lias not heretofore removed
to a^d in good faith settled in the
nation in which he claims citizen
ship.
"The rolls so made, when ap-
proved by the secretary of the
interior, shall be final, and the
persons whose names are found
thereon, with their descendants
thereafter born to them, with
such persons as may intermarry
according to tribal laws, shall
alone constitute the several tribes
which they represent.
"The members of said commis-
sion shall, in performing all du-
ties required of them by law.
have authority to administer
oaths, examine witnesses, and
send for persons or papers; and
any person who shall wilfully
and knowingly make any false
affidavit or oath to any material
fact or matter before any mem-
ber of said commission, or before
any other officer authorized to
administer oaths, to any affidavit
or other paper to be filed or taken
before said commission, shall be
deemed guilty of perjury, and on
conviction thereof shall be pun-
ished as for such offense."
No application for enrollment
of Cherokee freedmen will be
heard at this appointment.

Shot With a Ritle.
From the Collinsville News.
Last Tuesday while Simpson
Turner and John Johnson were
playing with a 22-rifle, it was ac-
cidently discharged, the ball
striking John Johnson in the
stomach, going through and
lodging under the skin near the
spinal colums. The bullet was
removed and the probabilities
are that the boy will recover.

Hon* Killed by Bm Rtio«i.
From the Chestertown (Md.) Tran-
script: A line young driving mare of
Dr. J. T. Twilley was stung to death
by honey bees in Kent county. The
animal was turned into a lot to graze
in which was a bench of eight hives of
bees. One of the hives was knocked
over, and In an Instant the mare was
covered by the bees. She became en-
tangled in vines in suah a way that
she could not extricate herself, and be-
gan to roll to free herself of the bees,
which swarmed on her body. This on-
ly made matters worse, and resulted
in overturning the entire bunch of
eight hives, the bees from which cow-
pletely covered the helpless animal.
She lived about eight hours and died in
great agony. Handfuls of beestings
were combed from her hah and pulled
from about the nose, mouth and eyes—
in short, there was scarcely a square
inch of the animal's body which had
escaped a wound from the bees.
Wot m General'* Egg.
The freshness of eggs is carefully
graded in this countf-y, but our distinc-
tions are surpassed In delicacy by
those long since in vogue among the
British residents of India. Soon after
Arthur Wellesley, afterward the duke
of Wellington, was appointed a major-
general for his great services in India,
he happened to stop In Calcutta. At
breakfast the he^o was served with
boiled eggs. He took one, broke the
shell, and dropped it with an air ot
disgust. "Laurell," he cried to his
valet, "what do you mean by giving me
a bad egg?" The valet hurried to his
master, and examined the egg with
the utmost seriousness. "I entreat
your forgiveness," said he, 'but it's all
a mistake. The stupid servant has
gone and given you an aide-de-camp's
egg by mistake."

THE DAILY MESSENGER
LalMt QaoUtlau from the E
Market* for Teeth.
Pauper Europe has caused an out-
cry from a new line of American In-
dustry, says the Philadelphia Times.
American articulators of skeletons are
up in arms against the importation of
the pauper skeletons of Europe. Na-
tive bones, in consequence of recent
importations, are quiet and depressed,
while the demand is for the products
of the French and German markets.
First-class American skeletons are a
drug in the market at $8@12.50, while
the Gallic or Teutonic article, not on«
whit more serviceable, brings a fancy
price. A recent Frenchman, who hap-
pened to depart this life with a full set
of teeth, is offered at $35. ordinarily
imported skeletons going from $20 to
$27.60, according to the number of
teeth they were shy. Purchasers can-
not be fooled by false teeth. The only
superiority in the foreign article is in
the matter of complexion. Frenchmen
and Germans who have shed all of
themselves except their bones bleach
better, or their survivors are able to
bleach them better.^, In the matter of
articulation the American workman is
perhaps the superior of the European
artist, but he cannot get in the tints
and the refreshing shades of complex-
ion so much admired by skeleton ex-
perts, or those who desire such articles
for household ornamentation. Skulls
are $2.50@3.25, varying according to
size and the skill displayed in prepara-
tion. A skull that was prepared for
the market with a brick is not in as
much favor as one that found its way
in by the natural channnels. The de-
mand for pelvlses is light, at $1.40@
2.65; tibia, in slight call at 45@55c.
Feet articulated are quoted: Lefts,
$2@2.75; rights, $2.10®2.85; west sides
(by weight only), $4.30. Hands are
slow and generally unsatisfactory at
$1@4.50, although a fancy price, $68.40,
was paid for one recently just before
the close of the market, or rather an
Inspection was secured of it for that
sum. Wooden legs are heavy and slow,
but continue moving up and down a
peg. In teeth it's the same old grind.
Full sets are moving up and down at
$3@125; bicuspids, by the brace, are
steady at $2@2.75; molars, dull at 75c
Wisdom are dear.
