Cowboys’ Petition.
Lawrence, Kan., March 7.—Capt. Couch
has left Arkansas city. Capt. Payne was the
Moses who for five years attempted to enter
the promised land. It remains to be seen
whether Capt. Couch, his suc< ssor, will
prove a Joshua to possess the land. The or
ganization is certainly becoming powerful in
numbers. The original Payne colony has 10,-
000 members. They are not all active mem
bers and ran not ail be summoned at the bu
ble’s blast to the banks of the Cimarron, but
they all have their eyes on Oklahoma—the
home of the red man. Auxilliary societies
are formed all through western Missouri and
lowa, while in southern Kansas there is
•carcely a town that has not an Oklahoma
Company. It is growing with a regular Pike’s
Peak excitement, and beats the Black Hills
furor in its early stages.
What gives intensity to the enterprise of
Settling Oklahoma is the firmly established
belief that the controversy has become a
mere contest between cattlemen and settlers,
between a cattle syndicate composed of a few
individuals who want a million of acres of
land each to graze cattle upon and the settlers
who want a home of 160 acres each for his
family. The ignorance or something worse
of United States senators concerning the
question in dispute is astounding. For in
stance, the labored effort to p;iss the amend
ment to the sundry civil service bill
looking to negotiations for the surrender
of Indian rights to the lands, said the Okla,
homa lands were not surveyed or sectionized.
The corner stones of every section in Okla
homa can be found if the cattlemen have not
removed them, for the settlers have not, and
the Indians have not disturbed them, for
there have never been any Indians on the
lands. Senator Vest’s views are very pecu
liar. He claims to be in favor of the occu
pancy of these vast tracts of unoccupied
lands by thrifty farm and home settlements,
but he holds that the Indians have rights that
forbid such settlement.
It has been published time nnd again that
HO cattlemen were allowed in the Oklahoma
Country, but that statement should be re
called in the light of the testimony brought
out recently by the senate committee on in
vestigation, when it was confessed i hat S
retary Teller had allowed the cattleme
graze upon the lands, but would confii r
make no leases or pasturage righte ther ..
Capt. Couch was up this section the other
day, and in reply to the question whether the
cattle corporations were claiming the Inals,
said: “Ob, yes I I can give you the names of
many cattle companies occupying the lands,
and Li ut. Day will bear me out in what I
say. I will name some from memory:
“Berry Brothers have over 2iX),000 acres
under leDce, two good log houses, stables,
cribs and a hugtight rail fence inclosing 300
acres.
“P. I i ke and Martin have over 100,000
acres as a range, and with 100 acres fenced
for aht i < pasture; good log house, stable,
crib, corral*, etc. Gen. Hatch stayed all
night there the night previous to his coming
to arrest us at Stillwater.
“The McClellan cattle company—they
leased about 400,000 acres from the Cherokees
and then extended their wire fence so as to
take in 1 'X).(XX) acres of the government land
of Oklahoma. They have two ranches, with
houses, stables, etc., on the Oklahoma part.
Their fence takes in the settlement of Still
water, from which the colonists were driven.
This fence on Oklahoma was ordered taken
down by the g< >vernment at one time. A del
egation of cattle men at once went to Wa -h
--gington and secured a stay of the work. Ties 3
orders from the department are what wo call
in the colony ‘the discriminatin orders.’
“The Wyeth cattle company have over 100,-
000 acres fenced. They claim a range of over
400,000 acres, where they ride the lines. They
have three ranches on the Oklahoma soil.
“Fitzgerald Brothers claim a range of 100,-
000 acres. Non •ofit is fenced. They ride it.
“Horsford Brothers have a radge of 100,000
acres. They ride the range.
“Ewing (I don't know wh -ther it is a com
pany or not) has a large range, ranches and
permantmll m 1 >r«.> v emeuts.
“Hew ins/k Titus—l don't know how much
they claim, but it is over 100,000 acres. Will
lams Brothers have 200,000 acres fenced near
Red Fork The fence extends across the Cim
arron, thirty miles northeast of Fort Reno.
“The standard oil company Las a large
range and many thousands of cattle just south
of Williams Brothers. The brand of the com
pany is O. J. L.
“Col. B. H. Campbell, of Wichita, is located
with his range just south of the oil company,
on the Cottonwood. His brand is a bar, B
and a and he is known down there as
“Barbecue Campbell” The range is an open
one.
“J. fS. Anderson, on Deer Creek, has a log
house and other improvements, and he put up
a large Quantity of hay last summer.
“Butler & Co., on the North Canadian,
have several thousand h« ad of cattle.
“The Belle Plaine cattle company, organ
ized at Belle Plaine by Forney, Meeker and
others. They have a range on Deep Fork. I
don’t know the names of the firms south of
this last-named range, but I know y< can
not take a bunch of cattle upon the Ok.< »oma
land.;; it is all occupied, and the occupants
Will so inform you.”
The Cowboy’s Petition.
Hunnewell, Kan., March 7.—Every
body is discussing the all-absorbing topic of
Oklahoma and the boomers. Col. E. 8. Wil
cox says the boomers will hardly start to
Oklahoma in a body until next Monday, on
account of the bail roads and awaiting the
outcome of the trial at Wichita. Col. Wilcox
leaves for Wichita in response to the war
rant served on him by United States Deputy
Marshal Rarich, of Arkansas City.
The cowboys have become clamorous for
the opening of the territory on accounts of
the wrongs they have recently suffered from
the cattle companies. The ranch of D. A.
Constable, about forty miles from this place,
has been abandoned by the cowboys, or herd
ers, and his outfit, with other cowboys of the
territory, held a meeting here and discussed
the situation, and prepared the following pe
tition for presentation to President Cleve
land:
•*To his Excellency Grover Cleveland, President of
the United States:
“The undersigned citizens of the United
States would respectfully represent that, liv
ing here upon the body of the Cherokee strip,
and the lands known as Oklahoma, and to
many of the undersigned the said tracts of
land being as familiar as our fathers’ cow
partures at home, being employed as herders
•r cowboys for different ranches, both on the
u rip and in Oklahoma, for several years,
vl know whereof we speak, when we say
; ytt many cattle, horses, sheep and hogs are
Ldd in inclosed pastures fenced by barbed
both on thq strip.. and in Oklahoma;
7tur. ■
nun mi uier, much or safd territory is capa
ble of being cultivated, being rich land, well
watered and wooded, the major part of which
has been and is now occupied by cattlemen,
having ranch buildings, occupied winter and
summer by employes engaged in caring for
sai stock. These are not molested by troops.
Settlers have repeatedly undertaken to move
upon these lands, and have been as repeatedly
expelled by the military, their leaders ar
rested and dragged to Forts Berio and Smith,
ostensibly for trial, charged with the gravest
crimes, and having been as re
peatedly released, without rial, and
left without means, to get home the
best they could, all these arrests be
ing made by arbitrary military order, con
trary to the genius of our government. Bo
lieving, as we do, that the civil authority is
the highest in our land, and has so far never
been invoked, we respectfully ask your ex
cellency to revoke the present military order
and cause civil arrests if necessary, to be
made, to the end that the proper civil tri
bunals may decide the question of the status
of these lands. We believe your excellency
speaks the language of our tribe and, as cow
boys, we believe in a square deal every time.
Dated al Hunnewell, Summer county, Kan.,
this 4th day of March, 1885.”
A military courier, presumbly from Ar
kansas City, arrived in town and was imme
diately closeted for about an hour with the
cattlemen who were in the city. What the
conference meant no one knows, as the cattle
men are very reticent and refuse to speak on

windcl, In the second round they went at i
with renewed earnestness an l hammered
each other with a degree of brutality that
considerabty excited the audience. Capt.
Severing, of the Lake force, seeing that the
men were fighting for al] they were worth,

MR. CLEVELAND’S SECRETARY AN
ADROIT POLITICIAN.
Other Men Who Have Served in a Slinilat
Capacity Under Former President*.
Table Showing the Use of the Pro
noun "I” in Addresses.
Washington, March 7.—One of the most
noticeable men about Cleveland is bis private
secretary. The reason why he is specially
noticeable is because he is credited with hav
ing so much influence with the president
elect.
Ordinarily the private scer Curies to the
presidents do not, rank high so far as in
fluence is concerned. It is generally supposed
by the public that the private secretary is an
official whose principal duties consist in pro
tecting the president from importunate and
unimportant calle s. Butin reality the av
erage private secretary in the white house
has very little to do outside of the routine
found in managing the correspondehce of the
executive mansion. Public men who go to
see the president are not inclined to spend
much time with middle men, however tal
ented they may be. Senators, leaders of the
house and diplomatic people, when they go
see the president, always insist on a personal
audience. Prominent polite ians, when they
come here from their states, are not fond of
being kept waiting in the private secretary’s
room. There has lieen, however, no private
secretary who has come to the white house
for many years who has had the wide polit
ical experience of Col. Lamont.
He possesses Cleveland’s confidence to a
remarkable degree. He has l>een his close
adviser and has for a long time been taken
into his confidence. At Albany, however,
the situation is much different from that at
Washington. There Lamont was practically
Cleveland's only advisor. Here Cleveland
has seven counsellors—five of whom are very
prominent, influentia’ n. In addition to
these counsellors the democratic leaders in
k-orh houses will have access to him nnd will
insist upon giving him advice. No president
can escape this uiile.s m- should cut loose
fro a his pts ty. No president would drean
of doing tout un.ess impeded by very extra
ordinary circumstances.
Tyler, who cut loose from his party,
thought he could form a ne v party, not
realizing tL-.t, parties are not r -ado by poli
ticians, but by the people. Johnson got out
with the pc. tha'v i< <: fl him. The only
result that 10l iowed was nn absolute loss of
influence. An t»:L fl:iis ; r. tion t .at hopes' to
accomplish practical results must stand well
with the people that cumri ;utod to its elec
tion.
ft is understood here that some of the dem
v. r< p int t:ic avenue rciorm ele
mental very much opposed to the Tilden
i.. -nee Li lie new u'hmnisl.-»t : n. These
gentlemen have a prej :•; • against Col. La
i. jo it on account of his former cone oction
• a Tilden and became it is believed li • lias
confidential relations. It’s a prejudice that
may l>e very easily disixjsed of, as that tht
new private secretary is a very diploe a tic
and adroit politician, who Las mucii more
skill iwcreatiiig friends than the a. erage met
of liis age. He does not bcLeve in making
needless enemies. His present position is one
tn t wiii. try his ability. If he can maintain
hisin'lu- i:e and cluse relations wiih th<
president in the face of the counter inflfiencet
that will surround Cleveland here it will show
t La s 11 if.s very marked ability as a politician
and diplomatist.
The outgoing private secretary, Phillips,
was Mr. Arthur’s private secretary wh.-u he
was in the custom house in New Yota. He
was appointed his private secretary wh<
Arthur became vice president, lie followe ;
the Litter to the white house. He is u very
amiable, carefully-dressed young man. wh<
is fond of club life and of going out in society
lie L jtiws no..di:, , he »ever, about p ■.
and has <.ud no more to do with me politi
cians and no more upon the white hoiv-v , >1
icy than if he had been a clerk in a Uupari
menk lie LuS been simply a pri»ate secre
tary and nothing more. His pi ■<’.? -*s■, J.
Stanley Brown, was originally u. c.. jk m .k
geological survey. He was a very young fel
low and received in the department a saiarj
of about SIOO per month. He was value I
there because he was industrious and was «
skillful shorthand writer.
Hayes’ private secretary was the cheapest
figurehead that was ever appointed in tht
white house,. He was a bankrupt commis
siom merchant out in Minnesota. Onci
heard him say that, he did not know where t
turn for five dollars when Hayes picke.
him up on account of certain business re
lations that they had some years previous ir
Ohio. Roger was a thrifty individual, how
ever, and feathered his nest very well whrih
in the white house. He picked up so much
information relating to the French and Amer
ican claims that he was able to go into a ven
good practice before the commission hen
when he left the white house.
Judge David Davis used to say that tin
salary of this position ought to be $6,000 oi
$7,000 a year, so that the president could se
cure the services of a man capable of taking
nearly all of the detail work of the adminis
tration off his hands. It is possible that Col
Lamont’s administration of office will resul
in the salary of the jxisition being raised, foi
it is genei-ally conceded that his services
would be cheap at double the salary that i.
now paid.

Washington Notes.
Washington, Maith 7.—William R. Mor
rison has arrived here and will put in the
time between now and Sunday looking after
( private interests. Hu said to a correspon
dent that there were no new developments in
the senatorial struggle in Illinois and the
question was only between 8‘- or Logan
1 and himself. While he was t a dele-
‘ gation from the Cook coun 'icratic
club approached with a pap -rmg the
’ name of one of the members i;r a position,
; and Mr. Morrison’s indorsement was asked to
the paper. Mr. Morrison will remain in
Washington until next Sunday when he will
; return to Illinois to give his personal super-.
vision to the canvass.
1 Hlinois republicans now in the city say the i
presence of Representative Morrison here at
' this time is an ill omen for the democrats in
the senatorial contest now progressing in Illi
nois. They represent that he has abandoned
all hope of being the successor oi Senator !
Logan without the interposition of the new '
admimstra.ion, and that he has had a confer
ence with Mr. Cleveland, and doing all he j
can to secure the influence of the executive, ’
and that unless it is promised, Mr. Morrison
will not return to the capital of his state to '
conduct his senatorial campaign.
Repn- - • ; )t o .tjve Thomas of Illinois, has just
received orma< ion from Springfield that,
Senator L< >gan is confident of re-election. Mr.
Thomas believes the dead-lock will be broken ,
with Logan in victory.
The letter from Charles Francis Adams,
president of the Union Pacific railroad, was
presented in the senate by Mr. Hoar, ad
dressed to that senator and dated February '
9. In it Mr. Adams discusses the policy <>i
congress towards the Pacific roads, and re
gards that pursued of late years as economi
cally a faulty one. He thinks it is not to the
interest of the government or people to force
the Union Paaific to take annually these
large sums out of its capital and lock there
up in the overflowing vaults of the national
treasury, while six states and four ■
territories are demanding additional:
railroad facilities which would add to the
traffic and income of the company. This
policy, he suggests, takes from the company
and the community just so much fructifying
capital that is really needed to promote the in
terests of both. In view cf the previous action
of cong; he regards his views as dissented
from, and reviews the course the bill haa
taken since its introduction, and thinks its
present status is the best plan proposed tc
carry out the wishes of congress, and
accepts the senate judiciary’ bill and says
he company will loyally live up to it to ths
best of its ability. In conclusion he refers tc
statements made in tha senate and in varioui
newspapers that Gould was the controlling
power, and he (Adams) but a figurehead, set
up for the purpose of carrying out Gould’s
schemes. ‘ Such, he says, was not the case.
He was not Gould’s choice for president
Gould is consulted as one of the directon
only, as any other member of the board. Hs
wishes to be held solely responsible for ths
management of the road.
Senator Garland has telegraphed his resig
nation to the governor of Arkansas. He ha*
notified Mr. Hendricks of his acceptance o
the attorney generalship.
Mr. Bayard and Mr. have notified
the president of their accepts nee of the stats
and interior portfolios respectively, and will
forward their resignations from their posi
tions now occupied, by wire.
This was another lively and busy day al
the whi:. • The president breakfasted
early and nu.nefliatelg turned his attention tc
his immense mail. At 9 o’clock he began to
receive privileged callers, but the public wat
not admitted. Senators and members and
their friends constituted the majority of
those received. Among the callers were Gen.
Hancock, Senators Garland and Jonas, and
delegations from the military and civic or
ganizations. The calls in almost every in
stance were simply to pay resj>ects, and uc
, business or appointments were discussed. At
8 o’clock in the afternoon the doors of the
mansion were opened to the public and hun
: dreds were afforded an opportunity of seeing
i the ure sident
Slugging Sluggers.
New York, March 7.—Before fifty people
in a private room Jimmy McHugh and Jack
; 3oylan fought nine very hard rounds with '
' small gloves. In the earlier part of the fight
McHugh took a strong lead, but at the end of
the third round Boylan had got the measure
of his man and hit him every time.
They countered mutually on the nose and
mouth, drawing blood in streams. From this
, point out Boylan gradually wore his adver
sary down and when they were called up for ;
the tenth round McHugh refused to go on,
and Boylan was adjudged the winner.
DOGGED DUELISTS.

bin ami John H. iaines, of Gainesville, Boone
county, Kv , at “Grant” in that county,
south of here, and alx»ut five miles back from
the river, happened to meet.
It appears that a cause of quarrel existed
which had resulted from the shooting, by an
employe of Gaines, of a dog belonging to
Corbin. Both wi re young mon. Corbin de
manded some sort of satisfaction from Gaine*
for the killing of ’be animal, which the latter
refused to go Hot words ensued, the fatal
lie passed, .1 uoth drew their revolversand
began firing at short range.
Several shots were rapidly exchanged, when
Corbin fell. Before doing so, however, he
lodged three balls in the body of his antago
nist, who was taken to a house near by, where
an examination showed his injuries to lx?
fatal. Ho died. There were a few persons
present at the affray, which was so suddenly
inaugurated as to preclude the possibility of
interference. They were chiefly concerned
in taking themselves out of range. Corbin

MR. CLEVELAND’S GIFTS.
Letter to Lady Superior O’Rorke and
Money for the Children.
Albany, N. Y., March 7. —While on a visit
to the convent o the sacred heart, at Ken
wood, several weeks ago, President Cleveland
requested that the sch> larsbe given a holiday
on his inauguration day. On the day before
leaving for Washin ton Mr. Cleveland sent a
chock for SSO to the lady superion accom
pauied with the following note:
“Albany, N. Y., March 2, 1885.
’ “Dear Mother O’Rorke: I send by my good
friend, Mr. McCall, something which I hope
will cause the J tie ones at the convent to
know that while they are thinking of me they
are not forgotten by the man who, in the
midst of their holiday, is undergoing the
most perplexing ordeal that his life can bring
to him. With many kind thoughts of you
and all the good people at Kenwood, I am
yours faithfully, Grover Cleveland.”
A .Member Assaulted.
Raleigh. N. C., March 7.—A sensation
was caused here by an assault uj>on the mem
ber of the legislature from Buncombe county,
Richard Pearson, sou of the late chief justice
of the state. It is the first time such a thing
has ever occurred in this state. The assault
was made here on the principal street by R.
Y. McAdin, a wealthy railroad man and mill
owner of Charlotte, as Pearson was on his
\.ay ii .a L.iuc.ijitei uj his hotel. Pearson’s
nose was broken and he is confined to his bed.
Members of the house are indignant over the
affair, and that body has adopted a resolu
lion by a vote of 85 to 5 that a committee be
appointed to investigate and report what
steps are necessary to vindicate the dignity
of the house and the rights of its members.
A Late Reward.
Bridgeport, Conn., March 7.—A fortune
of $20,000 was recently left by a resident of the
West indies, who was formerly a pupil in
school here to the man who saved him from
drowning, when a boy, thirty-seven years
ago. There are two sets of claimants, and
the case promises to become entangled iu law.
One of these is the widow of Baldwin Pier
son and her two daughters. Pierson rescued
a boy at the time refurred to, and he is said to
be the one who left the money to his rescuer.
The other rescuer was George C. Bouton,
whose son is a claimant. Twenty years ago
an advertisement appeared in a local japer
a king lor information of a man who rescued
a boy, saying a fortune awaited him.
CRAZY ’FATHER
Tries to Strangle His Child and Dash His
Brains Out.
Akron, 0., March 7.—Jacob Snyder, twen
ty dive, went crazy and tried to strangle hit
infant child, saying the Lord told him to kill
her. The neighbors rushed in and bound him,
saving the child. At the city lockup he tried
to beat his brains out against the stone wall
but is still alive.
Puzzled Piscatorially.
Ottawa, Out., March 7.—The duties on
fish and fish products which come into effect
on the Ist of July this year appear to be
misunderstood. The imposition oi these du
ties is merely a piece of retaliatory legisla
tion. The wording and the rates of the duty
are an exact copy of the United States reso
lutions imposing these duties on Canadian
fish. The government, however, obtains]
power from parliament to remit the dutie
whenever they are remitted on Canadian
fish products going into the United States.
A Reverend Child Thief.
Columbus, €).. March 7. —Rev. Geo. Mayo,
alleged bigamist and child thief, was bound
over to the common pleas court in the sum of
SB6O on the charge of stealing Mary Long,
two years old. Mahoney arrested Mayo at
Clifton and returned the child to its mother
in this city. When the child was recovered
it was covered with body lice, and bore evi
dence of fearful treatment, Mayo claims the
child was intrusted to his care, but four wit*
nesses testified otherwise.
"A man never Knows, says a Boston
writer, “when an idea is going to strike
him. Os its arrival he has no intellectual
premonition ” That’s a fact, and the ma
jority of men never know that an idea has
•truck them. Probably it is because they
are so unaccustomed to the habits of an
idea that they don’t know when it has ar
rived.
