effected for Oklahoma it would bo
a favorable time for us to closo
out our western possessions.
MoKbAY was tho day set by tho
boomers when they would march
on Oklahoma. Tho arrest of
thirteen of their number by a
United States Marshal caused them
to put it off n few days.
One of the bills in the California
assembly gives to any young man
under 26 years of age who learns
n trade by .serving an apprentice-
ship of thrco years and is a moral
young man $250 out of the treas-
ury. - -
Foun thousand dollars per an-

Col. Sam Wood of Kansas
hopes soma day to bo appointed
"governor of Oklahoma." Kansas
has tor years been afflicted with
this man and wo can now begin to
Fhom tho St. Louis Republican's
Washington special of March Cth
wo tako tho following account of a
case which our pcoplo aro vitally
interested In: "In tho suit of Col.
Boudinot against Col. Wm. A.
Phillips growing out of tho alleged
Bteal or misappropriation of $22-
500 of tho funds of tho Chcrokeo
Nation tho testimony of Bushy-
head chief of tho Clicrokccs and
of Campboll Taylor lato clerk of
tho Chcrokeo legislature was taken
to-day hoforo United States com-
missioner Bundy in this city.
Bushyhcad testified that ho drow
a warrant for this monoy in his
own namo got a check on this war-
rant from tho United Slatos sub-
treasury at St. Louis had tho
check cashed hero in Washington
(nnlr tho monev to tho rooniB of
Ross and Wolf Chorokco dolo-
irnlna who wcro stonnlnC at the
National hotel and turned over tho
monoy to them. Ho said he took
no roceipt for it and did not know
what they did with it. Taylor tes-
tified that ho waa hero in March
1883 was in tho room of Ross and
Wolf when Phillips camo in.
Among othor things Phillips said:
'I have got the $300000 appropri-
ation throuch. tnd I think I am
entitled to 7 1-2 por cent. which
you aro authorized to contract for.'
Ross said: 'You have done the
work and ought to bo paid.' Wolf
said: 'Yes I think we ought to
make a contract with you.' Phil-
lips observing witness (Taylor)
said: 'Perhaps .wo aro talking too
fast.' Wolf remarked: No; Tay-
lor is all right.' ThiB was on
March 3 1883 and in May a special
session of tho Chorokco legislature
was hciu at wnicn runups was
present. A proposition was made
to pnsB necessary legislation for
tho payment of 7 1-2 per cent.
which .Phillips wanted in March.
Tho question came up as to whom
tho contract wav mado with and
Senator Rogers called on Ross to
produce tho contract. Ross said
he would get it. He went to Phil-
lips' room and returning ho said
he would not produce it. The
'witness (Taylor) then went to
Phillips and told him that unless
he produced it the desired legisla-
tion would not bo pasBed. Phillips
replied that he would loso the
money rather than produce the
contract for it would disgrace the
Cherokee delegates Ross and Wolf
if it were produced."
An idea of the magniludo of tho
railroad traffic of the country may
bo cained from the statement that
'tho number of locomotives in use
by all roads is 29226. Reckoning
the life of a locomotivo at twenty-
five years thero should bb 1169
of them constructed annually in
order to maintain tho stock.
Judoiko by tho following item
from tho Arkansas City Democrat
tho reports trom tho Tango aro
most discouraging and it is terriblo
to contcmplato what tho losses will
bo this season.
Uvnldo Toxas: LaBt Saturday
Messrs. J. N. Heard and C. N.
Fcnly bought of 3 II. & 0. T.
Nunn all oi Uvaldo 500 head of
cows to bo delivered and counted
in May and Juno at $17.50 per
head. The samo gentlemen bought
of E. 0. Moore 64 two year-old
steers spring delivery at $12
around. Thev also bought of an
other party 13 head of ponlos at
$12" around.
Cheyonno Transporter: Black
Coyote of tho Arrapahoo polico
forco has latoly been promoted
lrom tho rank of a private to that
of first lieutenant. Ho now wears
tho uniform of that ollico and boars
up well under his dignity. If
thero evor was a good Indian out-
sldo of his gruvo Black Coyoto Is
ono of them. Ho has bcon soven
vcara on tho nolico forco. and has
tiroven himself to bo an Indian of
unusual inuustry ana veracity.
fini Antonio. Toxas: Smith &
Redmon sold a lino car of mules
to tho C. & S. railway company of
rgia. at $49.50.
bco why they are so anxious to see
Oklahoma opened.
At LAST accounts tho striko
seemed about at a stand still. The
governor of Missouri informed the
strikers at Sedalia that they must
cease their interference with freight
trains. Tho militia were called
out and held in readiness.
Soke of these days Daniel Ross'
Advocate will bo overtaken by a
whirl .rind which will sweep it irom
('ho face of tho earth. Nothing
more contemptible can bo imagined
than for a person to imposo upon
those who have trusted him.
Ir a littlo caro Ib not exercised
tight now by thoso in the ring the
Cherokeo people will find
out where their $22500 went to.
That would bo a serious calamity
and wo daro say strenuous efforts
will bo put forward to avert it.
The trial of the boomers at
Wichita has gono over to Septem
ber owing to tho impossibility of
Judges' Foster or Brewer to be
present Fifty-two warrants have
already been issued and the num
ber will bo increased as rapidly as
names can bo got.
TnE eenato at tho "eleventh
hour" so to speak acceded to tho
house amendment providing for
Oklahoma negotiations. If our
Creek and Seminole friends need
any "points" they aro respectfully
referred to Maj. Drum and tho
leaso makers of this nation.
they are acquainted with our man
Phillips:
The Cherokeo Indians aro mak-
ing n great ado about the dishonesty
and corruption of their officials.
The Indians aro not always apt
and quick to learn but when they
hire a played out Republican poli-
tician from Kansas at a cood salary
to instruct them in that line for
years they must .bo very dull not
to get an insight Into business and
catch on aftor a while.

St. Louts Republican: Judgo J.
C. Bagby of Rushvillo Illinois
who nossod throuch hero somo
thrco weeks since on a visit to his
6ons ranch in Texas returned last
night and is at tho Lacledo. His
ranch is in Concho county whore
prairio dogs aro thick. Ho esti-
mates that 25 per cent of the cat-
tin nnil shrcn of tho slate havo
died this winter from cxposuro and
lack of food. Tho valuo of the
stock lost would have secured food
pnoiiffli to have saved them. He
saw dead cattlo on both sides of
tho road as ho passed through.
Caldwell Journal: The way tho

Tho army will follow tho present
orders until thoy aro counter
