THE ACCUSED MAKE DEFENSE
Indian Territory Trust Companies
Enter Denial of Wrong Doing.
CHARGED IN BROSIUS’ REPORT
Know That Neither Tho Crook Indian*
Nor Negroes Have Been Bobbed.
Mnskokec, I. T., Sept. 8.—The first
organized defense made by trust com-
panies against tiie allegations contain-
ed in the llrosius report was made at a
special meeting of the Muskogee cham-
ber of commerce, when a resolution
was adopted condemning newspapers
and everything in general that has
been said about the alleged robbery
of IndiaiiN-aud negroes.
The meeting was called at the re-
quest of the trust companies and was
presided over b\ the manager of a
trust company which has included in
its officers the names of J. George
Wright and Tams Bixby, government
officials. A resolution was offered by
a man who lias thousands of acres of
land leased and nfter it was amended
it “whereasud” like this:
“Whereas, Irresponsible persons who
arc ignorant of botli the conditions
and laws which exist iu the Creels na-
tion, Indian Territory, have been and
arc still engaged in making and clren-
lating false representations in regard
to the business men and commercial in-
terests of Indian Territory, by which
incans they "lire seeking to create tho
belief in the minds of the public tiiat
tho Indians arc ^lining robbed by the
white men and that lease contracts oro
being taken from the Indians by the
white men in contravention of the
treaty and tiic law and' in fraud of
their rights and
“Whereas, Sensational newspapers
have made these false repouts the ba-
sis of all hinds of slanderous attacks
upou the people of the Creek nation,
and their commercial institutions,
seeking to injure their credit and bring
them into disrepute among tho Ameri-
can people; and
“Whereas, This club is composed of
members who have lived long iu this
community and are familiar wtih both
the coudiiions and the laws in exist-
ence here, and know that neither the
Indians nor the Creek negroes (to
whom have been allotted one half of
all the land in the Creek nation) have
been robbed of tiioir property or tiieir
properly rights.”
Then followed a resolution denun-
ciatory of the alleged false reports In-
viting investors to look over the field
ami telling how titles may be obtained
to Indian lands.
MISTAKE OF LEGISLATURE.
Trimble Between Labor Leaders.
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 4.—All the
8,000 coal miners in Missouri may be-
come involved unless the 600 men in the
Novingcr district return to work
promptly. They went out against tiie
orders of President John .Mitchell and
in violation of the Chicago conference
and tiie operators may refuse to enter
the conference scheduled to be held
here on September 10.
If the operators should decline to
confer furlher it is predicted that it
will result in the closing of all tiie
mines iu tiie state. •
Janies Mooney, tiie local leader who
is responsible for tiie present strike,
incited tiie miners to quit work in or-
der. it is said, to show his defiance of
President Mitchell, whom lie had pre-
viously opposed.

Teachers With Temporary CertlfleatM
Cannot ba Hired.
Topeka, Sept. 7.— By mistake the
,legislature last winter repculed the
,l»tv providing for tiie issuance of tem-
porary certificates to school teachers.
This law gave a county superintendent
authority to issue a temporary ccrtifi^
eate, good until tho regular county or
state examination. In this way the
officials were able to get teachers for
all the district schools. What will
happen now is a mystery. Probably
30 per cent of the districts huvo not
been able to hire teachers for the com-
ing school year which opens next week,
on uccount of the low wages paid.
Teachers can make more farming these
days than in tcaciiing. There is no
way to hire teachers with temporary
certificates, and the chances are that
many districts will have to delay tiie
opening of school.
Admiral Cotton At Beirut.
Washington, Sept 7.—Tiie disposi-
tion of tiie cruisers Brooklyn and San
Francisco of Admiral Cotton’s squad-
ron, which have arrived at Bierut, lias
not yet been finally determined by tho
administration. No orders regarding
tho future movement of the. vessels
have been sent to Admiral Cotton, and
much wi>l depend upon the character
of the report hojnukes concerning con-
ditions in and about Beirut and on the
representations which may come from
the minister as to the necessity for the
presence of American war vessels in
Turkish waters to look after the pro-
tection of the interests of the citizens
of tho United States iu the sultan's do-
main.
Hotel Barber Shops.
The rents demanded In the new- ho-
tels for the very limited space eet
aside for the barber shop are higher
than moat persona would be willing
to believe. . For the barber shop of
a hotel not yet completed the annual
rent is $8,000, and the tenant not
only has to pay the expenses of fit-
ting up the shop, but a bonus of $30,-
000 as well.—New York Sun.
German Women's Club.
A Berlin women’s club, of which
Frau Cauer is the leader, has a mem-
bership of fifteen thousand, all work-
ing wipmen. The organization pub-
lishes a paper and finds situations for
the unemployed, and its offices pre-
sent an unusual spectacle in a land
where women are not, as a rule,' what
would be called advanced.
Men who do the moat work don't al-
ways do it the best.
Small ideas and big
painful combination.

“Next of Kin."
The relatives of a lady who had
died, leaving a legacy to a favorite
donkey in order to secure its comfort,
recently came into court and asked
for a decision as to who was to en-
joy the legacy after the donkey’s de-
cease. “The next of kin," was the
judge’s verdict.—Punch.
An Untested Law Point.
I’eoria, 111.,,Kept. 7.—J. E. Wagner,
who in April consigned a train of corn
♦o Chicago, which was delivered five
days after its arrival, corn dropping
four ebuts meantime, lias sued tiie Chi-
cago & Alton railway for damages.
Wagner claims the corn should have
been delivered promptly. His effort to
hold the railway responsible for loss
owing to the delay involves an untest-
ed point of law, it is said.
GOLD FEET IN 8UHUEB TIME.
Many women and also some few men
suffer from cold feet in tiie very hottest
weather, have to use from 1 to 3 com-
forts to keep them warm. This is
caused by improper, poor and sluggish
circulation. “Crippin’s Compound”
equalizes Vhc circulation and will warm
the feet in 3 to 5 days. At your drug-
