After receiving his diploma he taught school awhile, then migrated to Illinos, where he a'so taught school. When President Lincoln issued his first cull for men, he was among the first to respond. Walking from Ins school-room lie offered his services to his country7, and on August 18Lh, he was mustered into the 86th Illinois Infantry. He was with his regiment through all of its engagements, including the battle of Kennesaw Mountain. During the latter engagement which took place -June 27th, 1804, he lost an arm, arid his empty sleeve to-day bears evidence of his loyalty to his country, and his valor and patriotism as a soldier.

Fully one thousand visitors were in the city Thursday. The untiring zeal of the parties advocating the settlement of Oklahoma is truly cqBpn-endnble, and will ultimately spring forth in such a tidal wave of public env dor-omen that the ringsters now fighting the Springer bill will be compelled to yield the field.

With such a vast territory south of ns undeveloped, offering it does a vaG field for our commerce, it behooves nil parties in Wichita to work unceasingly for the opening of this country.

Since the death of Captain Payne there has been no leader for the Oklahomists. but this has been because there was no reai necessity, but now there will undoubtedly a man spring to the front who will be equal to the emergency, and who will take the place oneo by Captain Payne. Many will probably ask tbe meaning of this assertion, seeing that the interest in tbe Oklahoma subject is not what it was. and that there is no organized band of boomers.

It is a notorious fact that the lease helif by the association, which expired on the first of this month, was secured five years ago from the Cherokee counsel by corruption and bribery, and twice during the last year officers and representatives of this association have attempted to secure a renewal of said lease for a term of five years from the Cherokee council by a liberal of whisky and other unlawful and corrupt methods, but were defeated in their nefarious efforts by the chief.
