CLAREMORE, CHEROKEE NATION. INDIAN TERRITORY. FRIDAY. AUGUST 12. 1904.

Fbdkral officera who have been ap-
pointed to lucrative and responsible
positions In this Territory should rec-
ognise the fact that they owe some-
thing to the party that has honored
thorn. It should be their aim to create
harmony in the party locally, and In i
this way strengthen It (or the
<oonflict which la soon to be waged.
The appointment of a man to a posi-
tion in a district, whose presence is
resented by nine-tenths of the Repub-
licans and perhaps an equal numbsr of
Democrats, is too much of a load to
force upon the organisation and It la not
unreasonable to ask the appointing
power to reconsider their action.
The Republicans of the several dis-
tricts in Indian Territory will have
thoflght to make locally when the
time comes, and they should not have
a millstone hung to their necks by the
Federal officials whose duty It is to
harmonise and strengthen the party
in every way poaaible.
Ths Mammons is for peace, har-
mony and diplomacy and is even will-
ing to concede many things for the
sake of these essentials; but to us the
welfare of the Republican party in
this Territory is of more importance
than the Jealousies and ambitions of
individuals, and we will not advise
submission to a load that will bring
oertaln defeat at the polls when the
Republican party in this Territory will
be compelled to go before the people
and render an account of Its stew-
ardship.
Again, Tan Mkssknobr Is for peace,
and will use every effort to bring about
kindly relations and good feelings in
tho party. Is it too much to ask the
cordial support of the Federal officers
in this undertaking ?
If the Masonic and O. E. S. visitors
have enjoyed their sojourn in Clare-
more as much as ths people of this
city have appreciated the honor of
entertaining them, they will all come
again.

Proposition to Convert It Into a Park
Is Popular.
The suggestion of John M. Taylor,
Jr., that Claremore Mound be con-
verted Into a park and preserved as a
monument to the bravery of the early
Cherokees who won a decided victory
there over their adversaries seventy-
six v ears ago, Is meeting with popular
favor. The Cherokee Advocate pub-
lished the article in The Messenger
\nd endorsed the idea In the follow-
ing language:
The above communication from
Mr. Taylor to the claremore Messen-
ger, it seems to us. sliould meet with
the approval of every patriotic citizen
of this nation, and especially Chero-
kees by blood, as tliere Is hardly a
Cherokee in this nation that can't
trace their blood I jack to some one of
the Cherokee warriors who fought
and won the battle of Claremore
mound.
"Some of the greatest Cherokees we
ever had were In that battle, and
now that Mr. Taylor has suggested
it, we feel confident, that one and all
will sanction his proposition, and
will not only do that but a great
many will come forward with liberal
donatious to raise a sufficient fund
for the purchase of a suitable monu
iuent. Let's hear from others."
Mr. Taylor states that if no person
has yet filed on the land embracing
Claremore Mound, he will do so and
will donate It for park purposes.

Special to The Messenger.
Kansas City, August 11—Run In the
(Quarantine division this week has been
ItiO cars, a little more than half as
many as tlrst two days last week.
Prices improved after Wednesday
last week, closing the week 10 to 25
cents higher than low time, most of
the gaiu on cows. Buyers have seem-
ed to have it In for the steers the last
week or so and t lie market on them
today is very slow. Sales yesterday
were steady to st rong. while cows were
10 cents higher, but today a few sales
at the start were steady, but market
settled down to a 10 to 20 cents lower
basis than yesterday. Salesmen, of
course, did not like to take the prices
offered, and business was extremely
slow. Everything was finally Cleaned
up, however, on the lower level of
prices. Heavy st eers sold up to 94.25
yesterday, and most steers sold at
13.25 to 93.H0. Nothing as good as
yesterday's top cattle are here today,
top prices being 93.90 for some 10MH lb.
steers. Cows are steady to 10 cents
lower today, sales this week ranging
from 42.15 to 93.00. (Quite a number
of fait to good cows were here yester-
day, selling at 42.50 to 92.00. Calves
range from 94.00 to 94.50 for best.
Buyers claim prices for steers have
been too high here, as compared with
other markets. Heavy steers from
the Northwest sold in Chicago yester-
day at 93.75.
It seems like all eiTorts to keep hog
prices down will fail. All t he markets
had fair runs today. I5.0<>0 head here
and market opened 5 cents lower*
Competition was good, as there was
good many shipping orders, and
most of the loss was regained. Heavy
hogs sold at 95.15 to 95.25. medium and
lightweights up to 95.30 and pigs up
to 95.32 .
Sheep receipts have lieeti light, and
liave scarcely excited competition
although packers say they want more
sheep. Lambs sold at 9(>.00 today,
wethers 94.00, ewes at. 93.40 to 93.00.
Choice st uff would bring more in each
class. Stock and feeding sheep in
good demand.
