Out on 11 10 Panhandle the Ilans-
licld Gallic Co. is building innuendo
water tanks on its range in order
that their stock will not have to go
so far for water. The (anks are filled
by means of wind mills.
Stockmen generally at this time
are jubilant owing to the recent
soaking rains. The rains and cool
weather which have prevailed for
the pas I few weeks arc having a good
oiled on the grass and stock ol all
kinds is simply doing nicely.
The Cherokee Strip Live Stock
Association has taken steps for an
immediate survey of the various
ranges at the expense of the occu-
pant of each range. A board of
arbitration has also been appointed
to meet at Caldwell on the 12th of
Juno to settle all disputes as to
boundaries of ranges.

They received permission from ihe

permitted to return were widows

DEATH.
Last week Mrs. John 1). Miles re-
ceived a telegram conveying the sad
news of the death of a brother
Clarkson Davis at Spieeland Ind.
to which point Mrs. Miles started
on the 1st inst. In speaking of Mr.
Davis' death the Christian Work-
er says : "Clarkson Davis died
at his home in Spieeland Indiana
on the 20th of May. Ho" has been
in feeble state of health for many
years. During the past winter he
was in Florida on account of his
health but returned a few weeks
ago unimproved and gradually de-
clined until the close lie has long
been prominently identified with
education in tho Society of Friends
first in Karlham College but after-
wards which was the greatest work
of his life in building up Spicsland
Academy until under his supervis-
ion it became and continues to be
one ofthe m'dsTT tlotirfttttng" of the
kind in the Society. For several
years he has had to give up teach-
ing but such was the power of his
influence end the value of las judge-
ment that he was long eontiniu d at
the head of the institution though
he could givo it but little personal
attention. Ho wiil bo greatly miss-
ed in educational circles and his
deatk will be mourned by a large
nufflwer of students and friendtf by
wjdiu no was creatlv beloved. '
VISIT TO THE WICHITAS.
BY HEV. J. B. W'CK-
i
Indian Torritory. Their history
is similar to that of other tribes.
Through with their wild life they
were settled first in Kansas then in
Texas ; afterwards in tho lower part
of the Indian Territory and now on
their present reservation thirty
miles north of Ft. Sill. In company
with Mr. Calmcs superintendent of
the Wichita school and Miss Laiu-
mond one of the teachers I visited
the Wichita farms in tho upper
Sugar creek valley. Tho morning
was bright and sunny and as wo
drove over the hills north of Ana
darko we had a fine view of Mount
Scott and tho Kechi hills in tho dis-
tance. Four miles from the Agency
we came upon the first fields and
houses. Am we drove down into the
valley it really appeared like civili-
zation. A large portion of tho bot-
tom land is under cultivation. For
. distance of several miles wo drove
by a succession of well fenced and
thnrntnrhlv well cultivated fields.
Corn Irish and sweet potatoes wa
termelons and muskmelons pump-
kins and beans are grown. I was
-hown a kind of corn which they
have cultivated from time immem-
orial. They denominate it "Squaw
corn" and sav that it is quite sweet
to the la.-to. At one place where wo
stopped the Indian farmer showed
ps his three large corn-fields 'an
i'pplo and peach orchard of more
than two hundred trees and told us
of his heid of fifty cattle lie lived
in a very comfortable home and I
siw a good trait in his characlcrMn
the care he beamed upon his old
blind mother. Tb" Wiehitas make
a kind of grass house which is pecu-
liar to them. The one which wo
entered is one of the largest in tliG
tribe. It is circular in form perhaps
thirty feet in diameter and some-
thing more in height. There are-
two doors placed on opposito sides
of tho house. The grass covering1 is
a thatch of some ten iuehes in thick-
ness placed evenly on a strong
framo bound togother with thongs
of raw-hide and vines gathered frdm
tho wood. The light comes in at
the doors and through a small hole
in the roof where the smoke finds its
escape. They would make admirable
winter houses and yet they only u'so
them as residences in tho summer.
The cloth teepee located in some
well protected canyon ' constitutes
tho winter homo. On our return to
the Accncv wo r)de by the littlo
church which the Wiehitas erected
some years ago and where they moot
each Sunday for worship. it is
beautifully situated in an oak grove
withjyiine. vinjujjist above it ill
the glen The Indians have erecjM
summer houses near the churcli
and in tho hot weather hold their
services in them. The incongruity
of tho Indian taste in church dec-
oration was discover iblo on the
wall back of the pulpit. t On oiv
sido was a picture of Daniel in Lhv
lion's den and on tho other a flar-
ing advertisement of a soap chan-
dler. As some one has written that
the "battle of civilization is a
battle with dirt" tho latter picture
may not bo so much ouT of place
after all. With ordinary prosperity
the Wiehitas should very soon bo-
b"li'v it is claimed that they . h.jo
