treatment they cured me of backache at-
tacks of which 1 had for far too 'long
a time to be pleasant and which were
often so severe that ft was only with
difficulty that I could stoop or straight-

In our Guthrie papers. Now, at this date,
if the cure had not been permanent I

father, whe lives in Shephard. Texas,
was visiting me some time ago. and while
here compiained of having considerable
backache. I sent him to j. N. Wallace s

took them, and I afterwards heard him
say they were the finest remedy he ever
used They brought him quick relief

DYNAMITE
A HOUSE
Sperlal Dispatch to the Slate Capital.
Stroud. Okla., June 13.—The exploding
of dynamite under a disreputable resort
in east Stroud, at 1 o'clock last night,
hurried throe men and two women out of
the badly shuttered shack. All the win-
dow lights and beer bottles were brokep,
while considerable other small damage
was perpetrated by the explosives. The
dynamiters are still unknown to the po-
lice.
A similar outrage was perpetrated In a
restaurant kept by a colored man In this
town last year. Most of our people con-
demn the unlawful doings but Insist that
Infamous resorts be dealt with accord-
ing to law. Mayor Haynes and Marshal
Whltmore promise to see to the neglect-
ed matter at once.
THE CATTLE MUST
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Sapulpa, I. T., June 11.—The captain
of the Indian pqjrice force here was or-
dered yesterday to procoed at once to
those poi'dU In the Cherokee nation
where Vhere are cattle belonging to
non-ciilzens and to drive them over the
line into Kansas, Missouri >r Okla-
homa. This order is the result of the
cwmplalnt recently made that the cat-
tle on the ranges In the natioi have
been overrunning the farms of the cit-
izens and destroying their crops. A
special officer was sent Into the Chero-
kee nation to stop this, but he found
that It was out of his power as there
were too many cattle and the owners
were not disposed^to heed the law.
The cow men rent a few hundred
acres of land from citizens asd bring
in hundreds of cattle and place them on
the rented land. There is not grass
enough on the leased land and the
cattle are allowed to roam as thoy will.
So great has this damage become that
the Indian police force is ordered to
make a clean sweep through the north-
western part of the nation, where most
of the cattle are, and to drive out all
that belong to non-citizens. It Is
against the law to bring in cattle ex-
cept upon permit, which few of the cow
men procure, and the penalty is $1 fine
a day upon each animal unlawfully in-
troduced.
TERRITORY FLOOD LOSSES
Special Dispatch to tho State Capital
Muskogee. I. T., June 11.—The flood
that has been general in Indian Terri-
tory has begun to subside, and without
more rain, conditions will have reached
normal within twenty-four hours. Cot-
ton has been badly damaged, even in
fields that were not covered by over-
flow water. A great deal of replanting
will have to be done on this account.
There has also been heavy damage to
the potato crop. Potato growers were
ready to put their crops on the market
a week ago when it began raining and
have watched the prices drop every
day While the water oovered their fields
and prevented digging and marketing.
Up to last night there had been a
total of nine deaths by drowning re-
ported. There are also reports of three
more cases, but it is impossible to ver-
ify them at this time. The loss of live
stock has been heavy. At this seaon
of the year most of th stock that is on
the ranges is in the lowlands where
the grasses are abundant. The rains
and the water rose so rapidly as to
cut off escape and they were drowned.
In addition there has been a great loss
in wagon bridges, railroad bridges and
tracks washed out
IIN KIAMICHI

est difficulty. Rescuing parties went out
and several families of negroes were tak-
en from where they had been for two
day The Frisco was In danger of los-
ing its bridges across these streams.
A Neglected Homestead.
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Stroud. Okla., June 13 —The farm of
the late J. E. Watts, who claimed to be

was taken to the Insane asylum, whore
he died two years ago. The claim had
been proven up In favor of the deceased's
two grand daughter*, who live In Oregon.

Muskogee, I. T.. June 8.—The
Dawes commission has In hand the
8ettllnf? of an Important ease, which
when adjusted, will have a bearing on
many more of a similar nature. In
this particular case the right to ten
line farms in the Creek nation by the
allottees is the point to be settled.
In the latter part of 1898 there was
an epidemic of smallpox in the Creek
nalltm and many deaths were the re-
sult. Pest houses were established
all over the nation and the federal
government In conjunction with the
Creek nation officials, made an effort,
successfully to stamp out the disease.
In one of these peetbouses occurred
the death of ten parties to whom was
allotted the farms in question. This

WANT TOGO
TO MEXICO
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Muskogee, I. T., June 13.—Tobc Ber-
ryhill one of the leaders of tho Snake
band of Creeks, was in this city today
consulting with the Dawes comralsBloa
In regard to tho desire of the Snake
Indiana to leave tho territory and lo-
cate in Mexico.
Although belonging to the non-pro-
gressive party and the band of red men
who are opposed to Ihe encroachment
of tho white men and his civilization,
Mr. Uerryhill la a pleasant Indian to
meet.
Crazy Snake and his band of braveg
are still determined to have nothing
to do with the settlers who are fast se-
curing ptwsesslon of the lands and nre
fast leaving no nook or corner of this
territory to which the Indian can retire
and be free from his presence. There
Is no spot so isolated and no portion
of the territory so poor as not to at-
tract the iodomnitable pale face.
Despairing of ever again finding
peace and plenty In this locality,
Crazy Snake and his warriors have
callod a convention of their adher-
ents for next Wednesday when they,
will consider the advisability of remov-
ing to the country of Old Mexico.
This convention will be held near Ok-
mulgee at Cusseta Square ground.
In all probability this convention will
appoint a committee of three to go to
Mexico with a view to securing a
concession from that government for
a large area of vacant land, abounding
In game and "bread tree" where tho
Snakes and their families may dwelt
in peace and plenty, far from th*
troublesome pale face and his ways o£-
civllizatlon and progress.
There nre more than three hundmii
Snake Indians scattered throughout the
Creek nation and most, of them will
bo present at this meeting. The con-
vention will be held nt a favorita
gathering place of the Ited man and
where has taken placo many an in-
teresting festival and "stomp dance."
However, 1t Is not likely that anything
of this nature will take placo at this
coming meeting. Neither Is It known
as to whether tho other organizations
of the territory will join with the
Snakes in a pilgrimage to Old Mexico.
The Ketoowahs in the Cherokee na*
Hon and tho Arllngers In the Choctaw
and Chickashaw nations may affiliate
with them since th«'so bands represeift
the same element in those sations a
do the Snakes in the Creek nation.
