SETTLERS CAUTIONED. fecretary ! 7 MUtakrs Are IJbU to Ba Made in the Ratb ror Land In Oklahoma If ArivUra Carrfulnr-i la Loratlag- Claims. Washington, Sept 19. Speaking re garding the conditions governing the opening of the ceded lauds In Okla homa, Secretary Noble said: 'The conditions under which the proclama tion of the president opens the Indian purchases in Oklahoma territory Sep tember 22, while similar in some par ticulars to those existing when Okla homa itself was opened, are yet very materially different in others. Each of the Indians of the tribes selling to the United States had the reserved right by contract to to take an allotment and this right he has exercised fully. The allot ments have all been made and the same have been approved in the department of the interior and to the Sac and Fox Indians the patents have been issued. The Sac and Fox took 549 allotments of 160 acres cacli. The Iowas Uxk 109, of eighty acres each, the Pottawatoraies I.3CS of 10 acres each, and the absentee Shawnees .VS of also a quarter section each. These selections were made un der supervision of allotting agents of the government and are scattered broadcast over all the lands purchased. The Indians are not on these allotments yet nor is there any mark on the ground showing that that tract is allotcd. The settler is therefore li able to get on such a piece of land unless he has a guide. So it is abso lutely necessary that the settler should know what clear sections and quarter sections are left outside the allotments that he may make no mistake. If he ignorantly should settle on an Indian allotment he would lose his opportu nity and Ik defeatciL It has therefore been absolutely necessary to put the opening a few days ahead to get the lists sent to the territory and published there and distributed These lists have been prepared with the utmost enro and great labor and were forwarded as soon as completed, and will be in the hands of the people there for use when the opening takes place. It was also necessary to have a judge of probate appointed for the new court and the new county seats surveyed for town sites before lots can be selected there. This work is in progress and will be completed no doubt by Tues day. The Indians have also t be con sidered and their patents issued. These have been forwarded when required, and the lists of allotment in all cases approved. The military will still have authority to protect these allotments and will remain for that purpose. It was also necessary to put the opening far enough ahead to notify the troops along the lmrder of the day and hour they could let the people enter. There are no railroads there for tho most part and it therefore taken time to do this. It is highly de sirable that the settlers should fully understand tho absolute necessity of guiding themselves by the lists of vauant lauds sent out They should not attempt to enter without the list The chances will be almost even for a fatal mistake. The lands have ln-en attached to the various offices at Guthrio and Oklahoma City. It has not Wen deemed best to suspend this action iti order to defeat fraudulent soldiers' declatory entries as it would also neces sarily defeat .some claims made by old soldiers in good faith. It is better the law should take its course than it should be interfered with by executive action. Fraud can letter le dealt with by other means than through actual in justice practiced toward the Innocent to defeat the guilty." CHEERING PROSPECTS.

At St IOuls flic country banks arc not drawing as heavily for northern crops, but money is going south for cotton, and at Kan sas City trade is .satisfactory and money easier. At Nashville improvement is seen and money is not so close as here tofore: at Memphis the gain is slow, while money is not abundant the market is easier; at Savannah trade is fair but the money market is still tight and at New Orleans improvement is seen in groceries rice is moving free ly and money, though in good demand, is in sufficient supply for all legitmatc needs.

MILLERS' -DUST" An Insinuation That II 1'ars I'or tht Mil lion Allianr Clrrtilar. St. Pai'I, Minn., Sept. !, It has lieen said in general business and grain circles that the last million copies of the "hold your wheal" circulars are being circulated at the e.xpense of the Minneapolis mills. The document is lieing sent out from the oflice of the alliance paper. The State, which has not money enough to circulate 100.0(H) copies, lot S. H. Graves of Dtiluth, one of the largest elevator owners in the west did not hesitate to say last evening that the circular is inspired by a cliijue of speculators. When the matter was called to the attention of Ignatius Donnelly, presi dent of the Minnesota alliance, he said that the alliance had nothing to do with the circulars, which, however, have the approval of what is known a the reform press association at Wash ington, although that association is not paying the bills. The managers of the elevators nil charge the mills with paying the bills for sending out the circulars. Some of them even go so far a.s to charge Charles A. Pillsbnry, manager of the English syndicate mills with the nuthorhlp of the last circular. Conntldatel Trlecraphrr. St. Loci. Sept Id.
