Indians of the Territory Stand Firm Amid White Settlement
A Scribner summary notes the Indian Territory holds about 65,000 people from tribes such as Cherokees Choctaws Creeks and Seminoles scattered across vast lands. It argues the tribes remain resolute against white settlement despite treaties from 1837 and 1866 that aimed to secure lands and annuities, warning that inter tribal contact is limited and the land remains under tribal control. The piece traces removals and patents, the loss of Osage lands, and the ongoing struggle over rights to settlement and cultivation in the territory.

Mercury In the System Tale of Henry Bull Stays Uncertain
A Peoria newspapers tale claims Henry Bull was fed calomel and blue pills until he saturated with mercury. The man allegedly ascends to a window sill when sun warms, then descends as storms cool the air. A gable scale marks his temperature while Mrs Bull uses a rope and lines to test him. The bizarre anecdote challenges belief despite its entertainment value.
