CHIEF COES EAST
CHIEF PORTER GOES TO WASH
INGTON IN INTEREST OF TRIBE I
WANTS A HAND IN PENDING LEGISLATION
Will Prevent, if Possible, Any State
hood Bill Effecting Creeks—Warns
His People Against Signing Any Pa
per or Making Any Contract
MUSKOGEE: Pleasant Porter, prin
cipal chief of the Creek nation, lias
gone to Washington, D. C., where h<
will remain several weeks. The pur
pose of ihe trip is to get in touch wit!
legislation now pending before con
gross and to prevent, if possible, the
passage of any hills which he think*
will he detrimental to the Creek na
lion. One of the bills to which he is
opposed is the granting of statehood
to Indian Territory before the tribal
governments expire in 1900. Chief
Porter thinks the passage of any such
bill would seriously interfere with the
tribal governments and will do all he
• an to prevent it.
Before leaving Chief Porter wrote
a circular letter, of which copies will
be sent to all members of the Creek
council. In this letter he reviewed
the work of his office for the past
throe months, and of the disposition
if any, that lias been made of the bills:
passed by the recent Creek council
The trouble which some of the allot
tees have had with unscrupulous laud
dealers is dwelt upon at length by him
and through the council members he
cautions all members of the nation ti
use great discretion in transactions
affecting their laud. Regarding this
he says:
"1 would earnestly warn the people
through you, against signing any pa
per or making any contract of what
ever kind respecting their lands, eitli
er lease, rent or sale, unless they art
fully conscious of its contents. II
would he infinitely better for our peo
pie to retain their land, even if not
so much profit accrues to them, until
they become better accpiainted with
the laws governing the use of theii
land. It may be admissible in some
instances for our people to make a
sale of a portion of their land, hut as
a rule the policy of retaining it is by
for the safest course to pursue."
Second Chief Motey Tiger, of Ok-
mulgee, will he in charge of the exec
utive office during his absence.
PLAN TO BAR NEGRO VOTE
Gorman's State May Follow Example
of Southern Commonwealths
ANNAPOLIS, MD.: In the state
Annate Senator Wilson introduced a
bill, the acknowledged purpose ol
which is to eliminate the negro vole
in Maryland. The bill provides for
the submission to popular vote of a
constitutional amendment which limits
the right of suffrage to adult male citi-
zens of the state who belong to one
of three defined classes, and the >eg
lstcrs of voters are directed to refuse
the registration of all others. These
classes are:
First. Those who can read a sc-o
t.ion of the constitution of the state
which the registers shall submit ■<
Them and give a reasonable explana
lion of it.
Second. Those who were, prior tc
January I. 1896, competent to rcgistei
under the laws of this state or any
other state.
Third. Lineal descendants of those
qualified to register and vote undet
the preceding section.
The hill was referred to the commit

According to the Okmulgee News
the following is a verbatum of a
speech delivered at the Okmulgee
meeting of Creek-Semino’.e republi-
cans, by Sango, the negro loader of
the republican party at Muskogee:
"Mistah Speakah! case why am we
hell? why sah did de circumnavigate
the ditferenlation of the Impossible
to come heali sah foil to extricate the
impracticable from the expectorations
which erudite the beneficent counten-
ances of the posterity of our fore-
fathers? Didn't Aristotle sit on the
bank of the Ganges four thousand
years ago and with his ear attund to
the music of spheres heah the mighty
footfalls of disaggergions aggregation
of pieliunters trying to ride to glory
on de back oh de niggah? Isn't 1
right?”
Is It?
Just because a man dances awk-
wardly and haiipens to fall into the
lap of a chaperon, is it right to call
him a Laplander?—Princeton Tiger.
Well, wliat else could you call him?
A Pawnee?—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Gratitude Well Expressed.
Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Feb. 8th.—
Mr. C. L. Smith, painter and decora-
tor, whose home is at 309 Anne street,
(his city, makes the following state-
ment:
"I was laid up with some kind of
pains. Some said it was Lumbago,
others Sciatica, and others again
Rheumatism. A few of my friends
suggested that it was lead poison,
but whatevsr It was it gave me a
great deal of pain, in fact, almost
completely crippled me. 1 had to use
two canes to walk about and even
then it was a very painful task.
“A friend advised me to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills and I began the treat-
ment. After I had used the first box
I was able to throw away one of the
canes and was considerably Improv-
ed, The second box straightened me
up so that I could go about free from
pain without any assistance and very
soon after I was completely cured,
well and happy, without a pain or an
ache. Dodd’s Kidney Pills seemed to
go right to the spot in my case and
they will always have my greatest
praise.”
One of the finest pearls found in
Ihe Indian Territory is the i roperty
of Mr. Harry Blake, of Checotah. Mr.
Blake bought the pearl of an Indian
boy. The boy found it in the Deep
Fork, four miles south Checotah.
The peari was polished in New York
and valued by the lapidary at $125.
The weight is twelve grains and the
color and shape perfect. Mr. Blake
says that the pearl is one of the many
that have been found in the Deep Fork
and is the largest so far. The streams
of the territory may yet he as famous
as the Arkansas rivers for pearl fish-
eries.
The' statistics of the petroleum out
put for the last year, as shown by
advance sheets of a report of the geol-
ogical survey, show a marked decrease
in the production of Russia and an in-
crease in that of the United States,
which gives us the lead. Russia furn-
ished 51.44 per cent of the world’s
output and the United States 45.64
per cent. The Dutch East Indies fur-
nished 3 per cent.
The Journal des Debate recites ex-
periments with formic acid, a secre-
tion of ants. Eight to ten drops of
the acid taken three or four times a
day had a marked effect in stimulating
muscular activity which might also
disappear under the influence of the
acid.

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP.
RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
T A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. It
spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat
and the pauper, the masses and the classes
are alike subject to la grippe. None are
exempt—all are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you!' Grip is well named.
The original French term, la grippe, lias
been shortened by the busy American to
read‘'grip." Without intending to do so
anew word has been coined, that exactly
describes the case. As if some hideous
giant with awful fillip had clutched us
in its fatal clasp. Men, women, children,
whole towns and cities nrc caught in the
baneful grip of a terrible monster.
The following letters speak for them
selves as to the efficacy of Peruna in cases
of la grippe or its after effects.
After Effects of La Grippe Eradicated
by Pe-ru-na.
Mrs. Fred Weinberger, Wcstcrlo,
Albany County, N Y., writes :
“.Several years ago I had an attack of
la grippe which left my nerves in a
prostrated condition. Then I had an-
other attack of !a grippe which left me
worse. 1 had tried three good physicians
hut all in vain. I gave Peruna a trial
In a short time I was feeling better lllid

ing words:

Abrnham Lincoln lie writes:
"1 had la grippe five time* before using
your medicine. Four years ago I began
t lieii.se of Peruna, since which time I have
not been troubled with that disease. 1 can
now do as much work at my desk as 1 evei
con hi in my life. 1 have gamed more than
ten pounds i?i weight.”—S. 8. Lincoln.
Pe-ru-ita Not Only Cured Lc Grippe but
Benefited the Whole System.
Miss Alice M. Dressier, 1313 N. Bryant
Ave., Minneapolis, Minn , writes:
"Last spring 1 suffered from la grippe
and was partially cured lint the had alter
effects remained through the summer
and somehow I did not gel strong as 1
was before. One of my college friends w ho
was visiting tne asked me to try Pemnn
and 1 did so and found it all and more
than 1 bad expected. It not. only cured
me of the catarrh but restored me to per
feet licalth, built, up l he entire system and
brought a happy feeling of buoyancy
which I had not known for years ’'—Alice
M Dressier.
An Actress’ Testimony.
Miss Jean (owgill, Griswold Opera
House, Troy, N. Y is the leading lady
with the Aubrey Block Co. Bhc writes
the following:
"During the past winter of 1901, I suf-
fered for several wh ks from a severe
attack of grippe, which left a serious
catarrhal condition of the throat and
head.
"Borne one suggested Peruna. As a last
i resort, after wasting miie.li time and
i money on physicians. I tried the remedy
I faithfully, anil in a few weeks was as well
I as ever.”—Jean (‘ow gill.

"Some five or six years ago 1 bail a verv
severe spell of grippe, which left me with

try your Peruna which 1 did, and was
immediately benefited and cured. The
third bottle completed the cure.”—H. J.
