THAT "HORRID" NEWSPAPER
REPORTER.

The Independent published at
Ft. Smith Arkansas is a newsy well
edited eight column folio which is
a credit to the town and country in
which it is published. We welcome
it to our exchange list.

Hie news of the Indian trouble
here on the 27th of August has at

rent and social excommunication
of any person taking a farm from

Cowley county Kansas people
are much excited over the discov-
ery of coal within the limits of the
count)'. Fuel is entirely too high
in Southern Kansas and if it be a
fact that coal has been discovered
in any considerable quantity a
great burden will be lifted from the
people who live near enough to
reach the mines.
A forfeit has been deposited for
a rather novel race near Chicago
the stake being $500 on a side. John
Waipole will back the Arizona In
dium who ran in that city recently
against Daniel O'Loary's nmre the
mare to be ridden by O'Leavy for a
distance of thirty miles while four
of the Indians run twenty-four miles

Cattle men cannot spend the
money it costs to better advantage
than in advertising thoir brand in

.It is interesting to observe tho
frequency with which the incredu-
lous and unsophisticated or more
properly "untravolcd" arc imposed
upon by the newspaper fraternity.
Confidence men lightning rod ped-
dlers and keno men are content to
"beat" the verdant country fellow
who may come in their way but
this must not be said of the indus-
trious newspaper fiend. We have just
learned of an instance wherein
some young ladies who reside with-
in the limits of this Reservation
were per force of circumstances
placed upon the "roll of honor" as-
signed to that class know and roc-
ognized everywhere as "Tnnoccnts
Abroad" and all through the schem-
ing of a St. Louis reporter. The
ladies aforementioned were through
tho mort abominable and shameless
strategy inveigled into giving a dis-
sertation of a column length upon
tho pleasures hardships and dan-
gers of life among the Rod Men.
This they did in all simplicity and
truthfulness never suspecting that
the innocent looking gentleman
would hasten to tell all they said
and perhaps more through the col-
umn of a daily newspaper but that
such was his mission they loarnod
much to their chagrin a short time
afterward. The moral status of the
newspaper fraternity must be at an
exceedingly low ebb when one of its
members and that member on the
staff of one of the leading dailies of
the nation resorts to such base de-
ceit as representing himself to bo
a staid and saintly Quaker "after
tho straitest sect" and all this for
tho sake of a local item. Surely. St.
Louis reporters are the cheekiest set
