There are 1,470,055 acres in the Osage reservation. Uf" this 882,000 are tillable. There are 600,000 acres under, oil and gas lease. This lease p*y$ 10 per cent royalty; and during the past six months the royalty on ofl fttei cents per barrel has been MQg^Qi. Another rix months will bring the royalty up to $240,000 Sop the fiscal year, After April 1st the royalty is increased to 12 # por cent, Iiast year the Usages received from rentals of their lands to, farmers and cattlemen $275,000. They re­ ceived as interest on their vested funds $416,611. From, other sources they received ■. $ 100 , 000 . This makes a total,of $000, , 515 that has beett divided among them during the year just -past, . There arai.937 Osageslndians who. share in this annuities of the'tribe- Ofthis number, 841 are, foil bloods and 1^096are mixed bloods* This is , the first report, (official.) given in, several years and has been 'for­ warded to the secretary of the I n ­ terior for record. . I t has been said ih days gone by, that Poor Ho, has been shamefully mistreated' by . the Government, (and truthfully said too,) as well as by the unscrupulous whites, I a in sorry to say that today, these same .unscrupulous fellows are .resorting .to all sorts of'schemes to get the Indians money, and are very suc­ cessful in. their efforts, for they are getting it about all. The Govern­ ment has made ample provision for their future, and they WOul^l be happy if- let alone;- no doubt the most of them are happy with all this mistreatment, from the fact that tHey do succeed m getting a good living out of their funds, be­ fore the sharks get it *tL There b? Da Very great amount of graft, gotten out of thorn by the unprincipled officials also, but they seem to take it good natured. Some one’has said th a t there is no sentiment in an Indian, and. I thmk that it was woU^said, because ho has rto delicate thoughts o f' life “ or Of the future, r,' There 1$ a certain amount of superstition among them, .which is dearly shown by tho following incident) Ono. of their number, John Stink by name, Was a ,few years ago taken suddenly ill, and Was supposed to have died, hot fortunate for him, was only in a trance, or somicoiiscionse condition: however he was taken out and hurled iu their primitive, method, which was by placing, the body in a Sitting posture, and piling rocks srotihd the. body, as well as over it,, (on the surface of course,) and thus leave the body, to decompose or to ho carried away by wild braid. After he was thus buried, ho re­ gained conclousness and when the burial parfy gob to camp, they found poor John there again. From that day to this the tribe have completely ostracizedhim, because they believe that it his spirit that has returned from the happy hunting grounds, to haunt them, so they will nob have the least thing to do with him, so pjor John in an out east and lives to himself altogether. Ho cannot he induced to sloop in a Eiou.se or tent, became ho thinks that some ono Is after him all the tinio seekinghis life; believing this, I;ocarries a largo hunting knife for mm THE OLD RELIABLE BAKING POWDER ABSOLUTELY N O E The griatest «f hi parted MdUac M i l the w m M a m * f;v$iboKi m m ##,**» wn * Jk* or decays and falls to the ground The Baptist have a missionary working among them, with gogd results, from the fact tha t tb-ve has been a bomber of^tbem converted and have united with the church, so at this writing Bev*.Burnett, the missionary and his assistants iu the work, are organizing a church a t inaian camp, Bev. Burnett has been missionary to the Gauges, for the past twelve years and he is now seeing some results of his long years of hard wo de in trying to christian­ ize them. I t is to be hoped tha t he may be crowned with success, and tha t much goodwill copie out of Ms untiring efforts, I have 'visited the Catholic Con­ vent, for the Indian girls, and had the privilege of going through the entire building, with the ' exception of the private-rooms; and found that the girls are- being educated in all the different branches, as well as in sewing and laundry work* This Convent is under the care of 14 Sisters, anti are evidently doing a good work* A sa matter of course, they are taught Catholaoism,- from start to.flniBfa., The Catholics have a school in the'town for the white children, and I tbihk some few Indians attend also. My next visit was to the Govern­ ment schools for the Indian boys and girls, and I will attempt to give you some. idyA of them* I first visited the boys dormitory and was conducted tfaroug the entire build­ ing, by one of the lady- attendants. There are eighty-seven boys ta the building, of all sizes and ages, and are there for ten months of each year, They dress m a regulation uniform of grey trimmed m red; on special occasions and on Sabbath; they present a very nice appearance when in full dress, and the older ones seem to be very careful of their suits, bub the smaller-ones do not have any pride about; them a t all, or. rather do not care bow their clothifig looks. The building is well arranged for comfort, with sleeping rooms in the top «tofy,fiu Which are a number of. single beds, with good bedding. Everyboy takes care of his own bed. and they are nicely kept. The dining room and kitchen is well arranged aud cleanly. In the toilet room-every boy has his towel, comb and tooth brush,'which ate numbered and huhg on the rack In rotation, so that ’ there is rio- trouble in finding them. The play rooms are in the basement, where tnfcre is every thing for their Amuse­ ment. The boys a re /v e ry well pleased with their accommodations and school," until they get away from the grounds, and then they be­ come dissatisfied, and very often run away. The day I was there, three of the boys had been away for three days or more and coilld not be found. 'When they are found and brought back, they are to be put in stocks for a time ua punishment^ as the principal is determined to have them disciplined. The parents are to blame in most cases, as they en­ courage them in disobeying the rules and regulations of the school. This building was erected m 1813, and constructed of sandstone, as well as all the rest of tbo buildings composing the Government schools. The girls building was erected Some years later, and is tho hotter ono of tho two, being better finished in every respect, and probably hotter equipped. I t is arranged similar to the boys building, except tha t i t has tho laundry for both buildings. I t has quits a numborof small sleep­ ing rooms also, while in tho boys, they arc all largo.’ Everything is neat And clean, and is kept so-By tho girls. They also do the laundry work for the boys. The dishes used in both buildings are of granite ware so they cannot bo broken. ’The fond provided for them in of good quality and plenty of it. Tho school build­ ing proper is a two story ono, of eight rooms, or perhaps- ten, and well arranged for tho work to bo done. There is the kiudorgafdcn for tho Small ones, with all tho best appliances needed in this work, bat I failed to sco them a t work, as it was Just about tho oloso-df school for tho day eo did not sen any of work* Thfa-fs really a pte* qnoathed to the Clifton Presbyterian church, of which tho decedent was a member, with the provision that in case the Clifton church ceases to exist as a place of worship, or fails to employ a minister for two con­ secutive years, the Amount snail be divided among the - Presbyterian churches ofSpringfield.
