THE CHIEFTAIN BOYCOTT.
Contemptible Action of the
First National Bank.
Whereas it bas come to the
knowledge of the directors of the
First National Bank that certain
articles have recently appeared in
a newspaper known as The Indian
Ohieftain reflecting upon the hon-
or and integrity of a large part of
the stockholders of this bank and
also urging the officers of the Uni-
ted States to enter upon a course
of unjustified hostility towards a
large part of the stockholders of
this bank (. the cattlemen)
and it appears that the attacks and
insinuations made therein are un-
called for and unwarranted and
made out of a spirit of malice
Therefore be it resolved by the
directors of this bank that this
bank do not further patronize said
paper and that the executive of-
ficers of this bank be instructed to
withdraw all edvertisements and
that hereafter to have all print-
ing necessary for the bank done by
persons other than those interest
ed in or connected with said Indian
Chieftain.
Passed Oct. 13 1899.
There has been a great deal of
unsettled effort of people to get in
to the Indian Territory and get a
Btart on "the ground floor" as it
were when the Indian country is
onened ud for settlement. These
people of unsettled habits are go
ing over the country trying io get
an opening long before it is ready.
Thev have mistaken ideas about
the Indian country that it is to be
opened for settlement that it is
ready to be settled on by whites
and that it will be subject to claims
f flnttlflrs. like the Oklahoma
country was. This is a very much
;atflkfm Idea.. The Indian coun
trv is the oroperty of the Indians.
The lands belong to them now and
will after allotment. 1 here win
nr be a time when lands can
be settled upon and taken up but
all Ian d that is held must be by
purchase from the Indians. There
will never be an opening for
whites except such as buy lands
nd nav a fair price lor it. loan
who have means to buy property
there will be a fine opening in the
territory and to such there will be
miioh opportunity as they win
have a chance to get a good home
very cheap and in a country ai-
Hied flrld c'l vilized. Those
wvv.
expecting to get land for nothing
had best stay away trom tne tern

ture created him she gave him more
strength according to bulk than any
other animal on eunu. e-'-
an abundance of muscle and but few
nerves. He has a niut

hearing as keen as a fox and his cour

by all men who have studied him that
he is totally without fear. If he ever
runs away from anything it is through
mistake. Cut for two defects in ms
physical makeup he'd soon externum ie
all other animals in Africa. His rangeof
vision is like that of a whale dead
ahead and he is so bulky for his size
that he can't turn except in a consid-
erable circle.
I captured Barnum's first rhinoceros
and that animal cost him more than any
four lions or tigers he ever owned. I
was the first animal hunter sent over
to Africa by an American and I had it
all to learn. I sent home lions giraffes
elephants buffaloes and hyenas with-
out any great trouble but it was a
whole year before I got my first rhinoc-
eros. I had to make a study of the
animal and take advantage Qf his char-
acteristics. The natives had killed one
occasionally but such a thing as cap-
turing one alive hadever been heard
of. It seemed to tne; that the easiest
way was to noose him. There are well
defined paths all through the foreBts
of Africa and these are used more or
less by all animals especially where
they lead to water I made a noose in
a. new two-inch rope big enough to
take in a rhinoceros and then climbed
into a tree above to manage it. I spent
the best part of three days up there
before a victim came along. Hestented
me and was suspicious out nevermc- .
less came on and was neatly noosed. ;
I believe that rope would have held a
schooner" nchor off Montauk Point j
but that'i jnoceros made one plunge
.i i.v It like a thread. 1 hadn't
realized his strength up to that time.
My next move was to seek a point on a
path several miles from camp and erect
a barricade. This barricade ran to a
V-shaped point and was made strong
enough to hold on elephant. If a
rhinoceros took that path he would fol-
low it to the last inch and when he was
in close quarters we would be on hand
to .tangle him up. We had a visitor
almost before we were ready. When
the rhinoceros got along to the barri-
cade he halted for a minute to sniff the
air. Then he lowered his head and
went charging down the path.
I believed we had him for sure but he
struck the logs and rocks at the point
of the V with the power of a wild loco-
motive and battered his way through.
I now turned to a pit. Ai a son hui
i lunicu i i"'. -
on a
nath leadinir to a water hole we
dug a pit 20 leet long i .en
4t Wn. Th s we covered wnn
poles branches and dirt until no one
could detect the danger lurking be-
neath but we had our trouble for our
reward. The rhinoceros does most of
his roaming by day and is careless
whether he follows a path or crashes
through -the bushes. The night after
the pit was ready we caught two hyenas
in it. The next day we caught a deer
the next night another hyena. The one
animal we wanted did not appear. We
tried again at another point and this
time it was a success because I had
the details more in hand. When the pit
had been prepared I went up the p'alli
about half a mile to an opening and
hung a red shirt on a bush. I knew that
Jf a rhinoceros sighted that shirt be
would chart':the bnso. I climbed a
tree and waited and In less than an
hour I beard an old fellow coming full
tilt. He went through the bush like
an avalanche and on the path he found
a red handkerchief. lie picked it up
on his fcnrn and charged down the
path. On the fa side of the pit was
another tl shirt and in his arcr the
bf-ai-t di.tiTt look for a trap. He wn
dust jr.g along sit 20 miles an hour when
the earth pave way and he landt-d on his
head t the bottoin of the pit. We had

DRESS' NOTES.
Wliat I Being; Worn In Fall Coa-
f tumea Popular Colors for
Autumn.
CombinatiouB of materials and colors
In one gown appear to be quite as fash-
ionable as they have been for many sea-
sons past despite the reports which
came early in the season to the effect
that new autumn gowns were to be
formed of a single material and dye.
Blue is certainly one of the dominant
colors now in vogue for it is blue in
every tint and tone for day or evening
wear. It ranges from deepest "Dewey"
or admiral blue to the palest hyacinth
and lavender dyes. Heliotrope and gray
are a close second for demi-dress toil-
oti1 a rivnl In evening dress is pink
in all its lovely guises from faintest
seushell shades to deepest rose with a
glow of damask red in the dye.
Everyone knows that a tweed cos-
tume is one of the most enduring and
valuable gowns that a woman can pos-
sess. To some minds it surpasses even
the renowned English serge in those
Bterling qualities that are the chief at-
traction to the woman of modest means.
In spite of the usefulness of serge
fabrics so long held up as model weaves
j ..0rni v.aea n genuine all-wool
tweed Sb certainly a very wise selection
for hard winter wear.
Each autumn season black French
felt of the softest velvety surface is se-
lected for the intermediate hat follow-
ing the straws and fancy braids of the
summer and before heavy velvet is re-
quired. This full particularly in black
satin very largely takes the place of
felt among the stylish models.7 Very
few of these hats show color of any sort
introduced in the trimmings the only
kind of decoration used being the rich-
est and blackest of ostrich plumes with
a band of jet passementerie around the
crown and sometimes a tiny glittering
line to correspond on the extreme edge
of the brim.- On some of the graceful
shepherdess styles and English wulkinj-
hats the downy plumage droops on the
hair at each side of the brim. An entire
black satin costume (including skirt
jacket and hat) is considered one of the
most attractive of the autumn fashions
in dress.
The new vicunas and French camel s
hair goods are paiticulaily handsome
this season and thus far some of the
mostattractiveand stylish tailor gowns
have been made of these materials.
While very protective in quality these
fabrics are wonderfully light. Weight
does not invariably mean warmth and
these new goods are soft and downy
in their strictly pure wool web and
woof. The black goods in these weaves
are especially handsome.
Fancy satin or cloth medallions lat-
tice and scroll designs in open-work
.vni nnrl thpr silkv wool braids
chenille bits of fur and silk cord all In
bpw appliqued effects are very fashion-
able used as a garniture for stylish cloth
costumes. This form of trimming is
more dressy than stitching or rows of
braid although these simple styles of

brilliant tones are most appropriately

marked style to t he gown but they like
