Wars Influencing - Oklahoma.
In times of peace homes are
developed, churches and schools
. flourish, and the great pursuita

merce and mining-grow and
prosper. In war, all these lan
guish, if they are not utterly de
stroyed. Sc, in this narrative,
but little space will be given to
- to the wars affecting Oklahoma
history.
In 1833, hostilities arose be
tween the Osages and Kiowas.
These took place in the present
Kmits of Kiowa county, A lew
men and many women ai.d chil
dren were killed. The Kiowas
and Comanches engaged in raids
and attacks on the settlers al6ng
ihe Santa Fe Trail in li&6 '47.
The Kiowas, with many Chey
ennes, Arapahoes,03age, Apaches
of the Plains, and Comanches
attempted to exterminate the
the reservation Indians, the Sac
and Fox, Delawares and Potta
watomies, Kansas- in 1854. A
Bloody Jaattle, near Smoky Hill,'
H?nsas ensued, in wjiich the
Kiowas and allies were defeated
In 1858, the Comanches wereJ.
attacked by United States troops
when approaching the Wichita
village on a peace mission.
Through this serious mistake
many Comanches were killed and
the corps of the- peaceful Wich
itas were .-destroyed. This took
placf on Rush vGreek, in Grady

- JThe-Ghlekasawi and Choctaws
wiri practically united iri their
stand for the Confederacy. The
Cherokees arid Creeks were di
yided in their views as to loyalty
It is the opinion of moat writers
n the question that, a majority
'f-the Cherokees remained loyal
.-f
to the Union. . The representa
tives of the Tonkawas, Wacos,
Caddos, Anadarkos, Keeche' s
Tawakonys, Wichtftas and Dela
wares made a treaty of alliance
with the Confederate States, Au
gust 12, 1861.
After many battles, invasions
and depredation, in which every
natioa and tribe suffered, hostil
ities ceased on or about the 6th
of July. 1865.
War, as touching the pople of
Indian Territory, was most dis
astrous, Feud, factions weaken
ed government and lawlessness
flourished for many years there
after. The Chic kasaws and
Choctaws, having been almo3t
unanimous in support of the Con
federacy, did not suffer from
bitter internal strife as did their
divided brothers, the Creeks and
! Cherokees. After the Civil War
the breaking up of the regular
army was marked by many com
panies and regiments of Federal
troops being transferred to Forts
Arbuckle and Cobb, of the Wash
ita.valley and other forts. This
was to hold in 'check the wild
tribes of the Plains. For sever
al years after 1865 these tribes
gave settlers and troops constant
trcuole. In' 1867, in the treaty
ot Medicine Lodge Kansas.these
Indians were led -to accept homes
in western Oklahoma.
Along the Saline and Solomon
rivers in Kansas, a band of Chey
ennes in August, 186S, fell upon
the settlers and made bloody end
of many. General Phil Sheridan
federal cavalry, hero of the late
war, determined to punish these
tribes severely. Gen. Ouster led
his forces into the valley of the
Washita, and in November 1868
fellmpon Black Kettle and his
Comanche and Kiowa allies ana
almost swept them out of exist
ence.' This was the la3t time all the
tribes joined in a war against
the whites in this Indian coun
try. Hog Cholera -Prevalent in Ken
tucky.
&?
' Hog cholera .is fvery prevalent
throughout the' State of Ken
tucky, especially in those coun
ties most devoted to hog raising.
Every farmer should employ the
best possible methods to avoid
the ravages of the disease. Sani
tary measures are of the great
est importance and often, if
properiy carried out, are sufficient
to avoid an outbreak of hog
cholera.
It is true that the disease is
most prevalent in herds that are
improperly nourished, but hog
cholera is a specific disease
caused by a specific micro-organism,
Attention and care do -not
of -themselves insure protection I
against the disease. Once pres
ent in the herd it spreads "to the
healthy, animals and results in
death of 70 to 100 per cent of
the individuals. , The weakened
hog will more certainly die, and
perfect surroundings and man
agement arev to be desired, but
this does not confer a positive
immunity. All infectious dis
eases require a specific anti
toxin to counteract ; the specific
toxin; that is anV.i-hog cholera

fection, the animals sicken with
characteristic symptoms and on
post-mortem reveal characteristic
lessons of hog cholera.
The most reliable means of
protecting hogs against -hog
cholera is in the ijse of anti-hog
cholera serum atftie proper time.
Farmers are frequently not
aware of the protection the State
offers in such instances, and not
infrequently we have received
communications indicating that
the serum treatment is not un
derstood, i
The loss so close to two million
dollars in Kentucky last year
from this disease warrants a care
ful study of thisdisease by every
farmer. In order to talk to all
parties interested in this subject,
a demonstration will be given
every Monday morning at the
Kentucky Experiment Station,
Lexington, for those who wish to
familiarize themselves with the
use of hog cholera serum.
- So heavy have the9 demands
for the serum been that equi p
ment and buildings have been
erected to triple the capacity of
the laboratory. An earnest ef
fort is being made by j;he Ken
tucky Agricultural Experiment
Station to completely eradicate
this disease. With effective
regulations controlling infected
herds and premises, together
with the hearty co-operation of
the farmers, this can be accom
plished. Write for literature on
this subject.

an accompaniment of the reception at
which a visiting pastor, who at one
time had been rector of the church,
was to be a guest of honor.
A subscription to defray the expense
was siartea. it met witn a very gen

had the finances in charge began reck
