Jan. -3.- Sonne inter
relating to southwest
celebrated treaty with
made near Medicine
Lodge, in Barber county, has recently
been revived by pome inquiries of the
Indian office.
The l.'nited States acquired title to
tin1 land now embraced within the
limits of Barber county, from the
osage tribe. This tribe is now lo
cated in southeastern Oklahoma, and
Is the vi eaithiest nation on' earth,
"per ca pita." ' ' ' ' : " ' '
By the treaty of June "2,''.lS2f?,;"thfe
I'sages ceded to the United States all
their lands in Missouri and the then
territory of Arkansas, and all lands
west tiiereof "north and west of the
J led river and south and west of the
Kansas, river, and east of a line to be
drawn from the head sources of the
Kansas southwardly through, the Rock
S i line. " This embraced the southern
and central and eastern southern por
tions of Kansas.
There was, however, reserved: by the
Osages out of this a strip of land be
ginning about 25 miles west of the
Missouri line and extending weit DO
miles in 'width to the west boundary
referred to above.
This embraced the present Barber
county, and consisted of what was
afterward known as . "Opagp sold
lands." "Osage ceded ' -lands." and
"Osage diminished reserve lands."
The last named tract was reserved
83 the home of the Osages, and it
was agreed that they might sell the
same if they tvished. By an act of
congress in 1 870 the president was
authorized to remove the Osapes
from Kansas to lands in Indian Ter
ritory and . sell their Kansas lands.
This was accomplished. This. Inci
dentally, led to the settlement of the
central southern tier of Kansas
counties. -
Three treaties were made in 1S67 at
what is practically now the town of
Medicine Lodge, in Barber county.
One was with the Kiowas and Uo
manches. on October 21 of that year,
it modified the boufwfurJw ft'f t be .'rep
aration in Indian Territory of these
tribes, and relinquished their rights to
occupy territory outside of reduced
reservations. The Apaches joined
these two tribes, and agreed to occupy
the reduced reservation with ,k"
Kiowas and Comanches.
On October 28. 1SS7. the Chevennes
find Arapahoes agreed upon the' boun
daries of their reservation in Indian
Territory, and relinquished right to oc
cupy land outside thereof.
These three treaties were negotiated
by a commission consisting of: N. OS.
t'nylor. president: Major General W. S.
Harvey. Major General C C. Augur!
Major General Alfred If. Terry. Major
General John B. Sanborii. Samuel F.
Tappan. and John R. Henderson. The
commission was appointed under act of
onTps approved July 20. 18K7. John
V.. Henderson was a senator from the
Mate of Missouri; and is now living in
this tit v. He is very wealthy, a great
r ntert ainr. a scholar, and gentleman
cf lare attainments.
1 he following from the report of the
Ptmrnission to the president may be of
t! interest:
"We then left the valley of the Platte
jirtd proceeded uo the Kansas river and
l'H tributaries to Fort Harker, and
thence hv the way of Kort Lamed, to
b point SO miles south of the Arkansas
river, v here we met the Kiowas. Co

stories of the inarch across country
from Fort Lamed.
This treaty was concluded on the most
beautiful site in Kansas; at the point
where the waters of the bright and clear
Elm creek come tumbling into the
broader, slower-flowing Medicine river;
in the low stretch to the east of the
picturesque gypsum hills; to the south
of the little forest of elm trees; and just
at the north of the broad, level country
sweeping away to Indian Territory, now
Oklahoma.. The Indians had discovered
this spot; and had long made it their
meeting-place. They called the stream
Medicine river, and their place of meet
ing soon became Medicine Lodge; hence
the town's name. Of those who made
the treaty, over 2S years ago. only one
member of the commission is living

now in their snug reservation in north
eastern Oklahoma; the Kiowas, Coman
ches. and Apaches took their land to
the south of Indian Territory, and re
cently, four years since, it was opened to
settlement and three new Oklahoma
counties formed; the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes have a small reservation left
near El Reno, Okla-boma. The meeting
place for the convention that was signed
is now hard by the townsite of as pretty
a county-seat as one may rind in west

vague reminders of old Indian days.
CURSE OF LIQUOR.
Subject of the Secoiul Co-operative
Sermon In Chicago-
Chicago, Jan. 23. "The Cure of Intoxi
cants" was the subject of the second of
the series of co-operative sermons, which
was preached simultaneously Sunday night
by Jenkins Lloyd Jones in All Souls In
dependent church, the Rev. Willard
Brown Thorp in South Congregational
church. Dr. J. H. McDonald in Oakland
Methodist Episcopal church and the Rev.
E. P. Tuller In Memorial Baptist church.
All the four clergymen denounced the
habitual use of intoxicants and the bane
ful influence of saloons. Mr. Jones urged
a revival of teetotalisin and enforcement
of liauor laws.
Dr. McDonald decried the license sys
tem, and censured Mayor Dunne for fail
ure to close saloons on Sunday.
Pastor Thorp advocated fights for local
option in wards, villages and cities, the
hfcrease of saloon licenses to $1,000, and
the prohibition of sales of liquor in dance
halls.
Dr. Tuller also favored increase of sa
loon licenses, an addition of l.ono men to
the police force and declared himself for
a state law prohibiting the sale of liquors.

Commercial Club Will Ask for
Midwinter Proceeds.
Of.lcers Think They Are En
titled to Consideration.
ALL GOES TO CHARITY
This Year Ingleslde Gets the
Concessions.
Major Anderson Says Club Guar
antees to Make Up DeScit.
The Commercial club feels that it
ought to get some share of the pro
ceeds of the Midwinter exposition.
Why? Because it guarantees to
make good any deficit.
This, was the topic up before the
executive committee of the advertising-entertainment
committee of the
club this morning. The action taken
was a request for the board of direct
ors of the Midwinter association to
meet with the committee some time
before the present fair is over, prob
ably the first part of next week.
At first the request for a conference
was directed to Rl -S. Brigham, the
secretary and general manager, but
upon consideration it was changed to
the board of directors. Mr. Brigham, i
it waa feared, would oppose any. such
interference. . . . j
While there was some little feeling .
displayed that might be termed per
sonal, yet the hook upon which the
matter was hung pertains to the
proiits which the charitable organiza
tions receive annually from the fair.
As explained by Secretary Anderson,
the concessions, such as candy, flowers,
check, glass blowing and engraving,
and similar booths are given to some
local charitable organization, this year
the Ingleside home. The contract
drawn up fith Ingleside allows that
organization 60 per cent of its pro
ceeds. In case, however, the fair pays
out, the custom is and has been, to also
allow Ingleside or whatever charitable
organization it happens to be, the other
40 per cent of its proceeds as well,' or
in short, to give it all it makes.
The executive committeee of the advertisement-entertainment
committee
said this morning that thin 40 per cent
ought to go to the Commercial club, as
well as any other proceeds that are
free.
"We back-up the fair and guarantee
to make good any deficit," said Charles
Wood, "and therefore I think that it
ought to come to us."
"That is right," said W. W. Webb,
"the contract made with the ladies is
good enough at 60 per cent."
George W. Crane and P. J. Mona
ghan had the same opinoin, as did J.
W. Robinson, chairman of the com
mittee. "In case the fair should fail to make
money and go into the hole," said Sec
retary T. J. Anderson," you all know
that we would have to make good. If
we have to back it up, we ought to
share in the proceeds. The whole
scheme was fostered by- the Commer
cial club anyway. .:l t . r,
All of the members of ther commit
tee agreed that the exposition has been
a remarkable success and one of the
city's most important enterprices. R. i
S. Brigham, who has been secretary
and general manager, is a great hus
tler and under his direction the Mid--winter
has proven to be one of To
peka's most important annual attrac-i
tiolis. It has grown consistently until
now it seems to be an established thing
for years to come. Mr. Brigham is
almost solely responsible for this fact.
He has practically done every part of
the work in fact it is true to say that
he does it all.
It is not particularly in a spirit of;
criticism on Mr. Brigham that the
committees makes its suggestion. But
the feeling is that the Commercial
club spends a great deal of money
right along to foster public enterprises,
as it is doing now with the semicen
tennial convention, and that it should
receive any proceeds that come from
the manipulation of such enterprises.
It feels that the Midwinter is its crea
tion and that it ought to get some of
the earnings.
The feeling of the committee is that
the club should have a more direct
part in the handling of the fair. Right
here is where the rub will come in. So
far the exposition association has prac
tically handled itself independent of
the Commercial club, and in turn given
full control to Mr. Brigham. who has
done wonders with the exposition. While
tne members of the committee this
mroning plead for harmony above ev
erything In the proposed meeting, still
there is plenty of chance for the fur to
fly. Some of the members of the com
mittee talked about the exposition hav-ino-
grown to be a "one-man" affair.
This point was brought up when the
conference between Brigham and the
Caotly . Wat is iaa .a&lesx. way fr
Ka StSlMis "Jwi) 14
entertainmeBt-advertising committee
was suggested. Oie' of ,the members
pointed-out that Mr. Srigham.may re
sist the interference," and therefore some
one suggested that Ihe. meeting be held
with the board of directors of the ex
position asscoiationv. Probably by skill
ful manipulation a squabble can be
avoided, but that does not deny the big
chances of one.
KOCH SAYS flQTHIfiO.
Refuses to Slake Statement About the
Morris .iieport.
Governor Hoch "had nothing to give
out today concerning b4s action in re
gard to the Morris report. He put in
considerable time .this morning look
ing over some pardon eases.
Asked today whether or not the
$3,000 remaining in the "investiga
tion" fund would be used for thepur
pose of issuing the Morris report in
printed form, Governor Hoch said:
"No, the report will not be printed.
I don't think it would be of enough
value to the public to warrant the
heavy expense. It is such a technical
document that the public would not
derive much benefit fro mit. We have
copies here in the office which are
open to public inspection at all times:"
Governor Hoch's private secretary,
F. L. Williams, has not returned from
bis trip to Clay Center, and it is pos
sible that he is manufacturing a
"policy" for Governod Hoch and look
ing up some law on the subject of
ouster proceedings, etc.
Attorney General Coleman and Gov
ernor Hoch had a conference about
the situation Monday, but Mr. Cole
man said this morning in response to
a question:
"I have nothing to give out. I have
not even agot a copy of the report in
my possession."
"But perhaps you don't need a copy
of the report to work on the case,"
was suggested.
Mr. Coleman smiled, and that was
all. ... -
WILLIAMS TO PRISON.
Man Wlio Broke Into Bank Gets Two
and a Half Years.
Williams was arraigned this after
noon before Judge Dana in the district
court on a charge of attempted grand
larceny. He pleaded guilty and was im
mediately sentenced "by the judge to the
penitentiary under the indeterminate
sentence law. He. can be confined there
not longer than two and one-half years.
This charge of attempted grand lar
ceny was the most severe one which
could have, been preferred against the
negro under the circumstances. The
only thing he, succeeded in getting away
witjy was less than ten dollars in post
age stamps and this act was only petty
larceny, the maximum punishment for
which is considerably less than that for
attempted grand larceny
Piles of Silver Dollars on Prairie.
The train upon which Judge G. L.
Chrisrnan returned ' from Mexico this
week ran off the track north of Chihua
hua, and the cars stopped right side up
upon the prairie, except the express car,
next to the engine. This car, which
contained 750,000 Mexican silver dollars,
was overturned.
The boxes of silver dollars were
smashed and the money was strewn
around, .in glittering piles. Two guards
with rines stood ovt'tj the'eioney until
the. car was righted and lifted back
upoii the track, arid the money was
scooped up and put back into the' car
again. .. . .
All of .this money was going to China
for circulation there. ,. The Mexican sil
ver dollar is the standard , of value in
parts of China and millions of dollars
go from Mexico to China every year.

New York Stocks.
Wall St, New Y'ork. Jan. 23. STOCKS
The stock market opened active, and ir
regular. The Iron, Copper and Lead
stocks were all lower, and the south west
ern railroads also showed depression.
Anaconda lost 2 points. Canadian Pacific
Hi points. Lead 1 points. Atchison about
a point and Missouri Pacific a large frac
tion. Reading was rushed up 1 points
on running sales. Northern Pacific gained
P-i. points. St. Paul 1 points and Denver
and Rio Grande a point and Pacific Coast
a large fraction. Reading lost most of
its gain within the first few minutes of
trading.
Concern over the unseasonable weather
prevalent in crop regions and the heavy
selling of Reading, which drove it from
164 to 161. accounted for the sharp din in
prices after the opening dealings.-. Sup
porting orders and vigorous resumption
of pool operations in various specialties
rallied the market substantially. Liqui
dation in Amalgamated Copper, which
carried it to a point below yesterday,
started nrices on the down grade again
just before 11 o'clock.
There was a sudden outpouring of
stocks and bears added raiding tactics
to the pressure. Prices were carried
down with violence, especially for the
material specialties. Reading fell to 3
points below last night and Amalgamated
Cooper 2 points.
Bonds were irregular at noon.
The market became feverish after 12
o'clock, Reading and Amalgamated Cop
per going back to within a fraction of the
previous lowest.
