Wilson, went to them to purchase their _ lands, The Kickapoos absolutely refused | fective diseases for the prophylaxis or to deal with them, and a lawyer by the name of John T. Hill, who is said to be re- lated to the Creek nation by marriage, was employed by the commission to act as at- torney for the Indians. The result of the dealings, which occupied about two weeks, was a treaty purporting to be signed by the leading Indians of the tribe by their mark and certified to by the interpreter, Joseph Whipple, a mixed-blood, who avowed that he truly translated the contents of the treaty in council assembled and that they ratified, and of their own volition, signed it. ‘The treaty states in substance and effect that the Indians are to receive eighty acres of land each, regardless of age or sex, and Laut Loe Ueibe 1s to receive, as a tribe, $64,- 650, This Places a valuation of about 32 cents an acre on a body of land more valu- able, for agricultural pi than any land so far epened for settlement in the Indian territory. It appears that J. T. Hill, who acted as the attorney for the Ss at the suggestion of the commis- advised the Indians to sell for -two cents an acre land that is worth five times as much as that in the Cherokee strip, which was sold to the United States for about, $150 an acre. For this service, which was more valuable to the government than to the Indians, Hill got ap agreement from the Indians to pay him about $5,000, and he managed it so that the congressicnal bill ratifying the treaty withholds this sum from the amount due the Indians for their lands. Trying to Repudiate the Treaty. Immediately after the meaning of the treaty became known the Kickapoos sent two of their number to Washington to pro- test to the Great Father, inewhom, by the way, they have very littlé faith. This committee consisted of Ockinekisa, a shrewd Kickapoo, who speaks a little En- glish, and Wershihoon, the sea@retary and judge of the tribe. Wershihoon is a smart Kickapoo, but he does not understand En- glish and is no match for the white man. As the story runs, Ockinokjisa was in- structed in a council of the Kickapoos to renounce the treaty and to tell the Great Father that the Indians had been deceived in the translation of the treaty, and that they did not want to seil their lands. Wershihoon was sent along to corroborate statement, as the special representa- tive of Wa-pa-ma-sha, the blind chief of the Kickapoos. When these two envoys got to Washing- ton, Ockinokisa, who had been “fixed” by interested persons before he left home, rep- resented himself as being chief of the tribe, and toid the Great Father that the treaty was all right, and, through his interpreta- tion, made Wershihoon say the same thing. ‘These facts leaked out through Agent Pat- rick, at the Sac and Fox agency, who noticed that mail from Washington was addressed to Ockinokisa, instead of Wa- pa-ma-sha, the blind chief. This greatly angered the Indians, and a big pow-wow was held, which was attended by 304 mem- bers of the tribe, nearly evéry one in it. The treachery of the two representatives was distussed and roundly denounced. A subscription of $62 was raised to defray the expenses of another representative to Woshington, and accordingly a young buck wes delegated to make the journey. He got as far as Kansas City. There he filled up or bad liquor, and squandered the money, and was forced to beg sufficient funds to get back to the reservation. The Government’s Terrible Childre The Kickapoos were once a warlike tribe, But they are rapidly degenerating. They are the only full-blood, undiluted tribe in the territory. They have been a great an- moyance to the government. About fifty years ago they were removed from their reservation in Missouri to the present site of old Kickapoo, near Leavenworth, Kan. From there they decamped into New Mexico, and from that rendezvous they raided Texas and Mexico, and it was only after the Mexican government had de- manded of the United States that they re- move their troublesome wards that Gen. Cook went after the renegades, captured them and brought them back. He then took them into the Indian territory, and located them on the land they now occupy. Many believe that they have no right or title to the land, but as the government has seen fit to treat with them, would seem to settle the question. As an epicure and bon vivant the Kicka- poo is not a success. He is always hungry, and has no Uncle Saw to Inok to for ra- tions of lean beef, fat salt pork, baking powder and musty corn meal and flour. He therefore has to “hustle” for his li summertime he catches and hoppers, and at other seasons he cais what- ever he can get without labor. A fat dog is relished by the Kickapoos. There is plenty of game in the country, and some- times hunger drives the lazy Indian out after it. The Kickapoo brave is not fas- tidious about his dress. A pair of l a cotton shirt—none of them possess two and a bianket is home dre: added a hat when he goes does not appreciate trousers, pair is presented to him he cuts away upper portion and uses the } . for The Kickapoos have n tions or annuities from the United Sta! diphtheria, smallpox, are among the in- treatment of which inoculations have re- cently been practiced; while among other maladies for which animal juices have bean injected may be mentioned myxoedema, cretinism, diabetes, various forms of Ge- bility and a whole crowd of skin diseases. No excuse, then, is needed for the anxiety which is felt as to the future of this Kime of treatment. Average man has consider- abie confidence in his stemach as a selee- tive agent. He knows well enough that he, in common with many other animais, com- stantly puts into that long-suffering organ many things which must somewhat as- tonish its mucous membrane, but he sees and, if he does not unde: stand, he knows by experience that, what with stomach, and liver, and glands, the body does somehow manage to manufacture a standard blood, notwithstanding the rubbish on which it 23 nourished, and man, therefore, not without reason, trusts greatly to his stomach. Se- rum therapeutics, however, ere independent of the imitations imposed by a man’s di- gestive capacity. The drug, whatever ft may be, goes straight into the blood. - The Doctor's Responsibility. All the locks and bars imposed by nature to keep the blood in its normal state are evaded by the doctor with a syringe; and the whole digestive tract, with its depend- ent glands, stands on guard in vain, when anti-toxin serum sifps in by the back door, via the subcutaneous tissues. in truth tals is a serious matier, and imposes on the doe- tor a far heavier yesponsibility than ‘ever attended those simple meascres which, after all, were fisally subjected to the ar- bitration of the stomach. It mvst be coa- fessed that in regard to serum therapeu- tles a large superstructure is being raised upon a comparatively small b3sis; for large as are the number of observations, and positive as may be the evidence that the serum of certain animals under the im- fluence of certain pvisons !s protective against the preducts brewed by certain or- ganisms, we ere sadly in the dark as to the method by which this neutralization or immunization, as it is called, ts produced. Pathology 1s in this matter considerably ahead of thersceutics, and in endeavoring to estimate im what d mn future de- velopments should be hoped for, we may be excused bringing to bear some dash of that particular form of the svtentific imag- ination which goes by the name of com- mon sense. We do not wish--no one wishes —to be tied down to what is likely; but ff we are to grope at all from the point at which we stand, the question, “What is likely?” must erter into our calculations. A Poison of Its Own. Now, all stalogy suggests that the pathologists are right in saying that each microbe brews, maybe as a waste product, a poison of its own. All our vegetable drugs are but illustrations of the fact that each form of life tends to grow a product of its own. and we can weil believe that each pathogenic organism produces a something which by Its acticn on the body causes the <ymptoms of its own disease. The other side of the question, however, is not so stmple; it is by no means likely that one boiy should be able to brew all kinds of different chemical products 60 as to be able to neutralize the various toxins produced dy the infinite range of patho- 3 to whose attacks man ts body would indeed be @ sort of magic bottle if, at the word of command, it could produce all these vari- compounds. he procvets which result from cell ac- tivity are very numerous, possibly even more numerous than chemists who analyze them are willing to admit, for, after all, what the chemist finds is rather the stuff that living tissue turns into when dead than what it-actuatiy is while carrying on the processes of Iie; but, numerous as they may » proof that all sorts of «if- ferent chem.cai antidotes can be produced by the bedy to neutralize the various toxle substances eisborated by microbe life. It seems impossivle then to admit that final- ity will have been reached when an arti- toxin has been discovered for each possible toxin, for, so far as probability goes, it seems much more likely, if such a phrase is admissible, that in the production of all these anti-toxins there must be some com- mon factor, some one substance on which the virtue all depends, and the probabilities are very great that this one subsiance is but an excess of scme protective material normal to health, rather than something fresh formed in response to the irritation of so many different pathogenic toxins, is — <0e— “ie Where the Best Horses Are Found.
