J'ot long »£!«"> a sensational Chicago nevspnper published a story to the i > effect that most of Any Olil lii ule the Indian maidens with "lie Money. of torv were heiresses, and that vast for tunes went with their hands and hearts. The story was scattered pret ty generally throughout the east and was copied iii England and even in France. H. Van Smith, who is con nected with the Dawes commission, which has been adjusting the affairs of the Indians in the Indian territory, tells of the effect of some of these stories about Indian heiresses. "Since that story was published," said Mr. Smith, "we have received a great many letters inquiring about the Indian heir esses. One of these letters was writ ten by a Chicago man. He sent his pho tograph and told all about himself, describing himself and his property. Among the securities which he men tioned as assets was a quantity of Col orado mining stock. He sent also a clipping of a photograph of an Indian girl, and wrote: 'Save me one like that.' Another request for a rich In dian bride came from England, and was written by a man who said that he had formerly been in the British army. He also described himself in detail. And there was another appli cation for a v\ife from France. The newspapy story that started all the inquiry said that with each bride came at least SIO,OOO. As a matter of fact, there are few Indian heiresses, and those who are are full blood—well, I don't want lo say anything against them, but you wouldn't select one of them for a wife. It is different, how ever, with the half-breeds. Some of the half-breed girls are very beautiful. There is enough Indian blood in them to give them dark hair and eyes and rich color." The wife of one of the newspaper correspondents sat in the gallery at _ ~ , one of the recent One of I bosr \\ lio sessions of the Always Know. . . - , state senate. Next to her, says a Washington exchange, was a woman who seemed to know all about the proceedings and just who each man was. With her was a younger woman, who was evidently a visitor from one of the rural dis tricts. The latter, seeing the numer ous page boys running around carry ing bills to the desk, inquired who they were. "Why, they are newspa per correspondents, you know," re sponded her well informed friend. "What," ejaculated the young girl, "how can those mere boys write all we read in the newspapers?" "Why, they are all typewriters and stenog raphers, and they simply take down what is said here and what is told to them, and they make whatever they can get from the senators and papers." Then the said wife left the gallery. A Xew York paper relates it that a fat man who was much the worse for liquor amused the .'io passengers in a Broadway car in that city the oilier day. It was when the car was round ing the curve at Fourteenth street. "Hold fast!" yelled the conductor,and everybody held fast except a stout woman who was tumbled across the aisle and squarely into the fat man's lap. The woman apologized profusely, but the fat man smiled and rubbed his hands. "Don't mention it,"he said; "1 like it." Proof that a man may live with a bul let in his heart was afforded recently in Chicago by the use of the X-ray upon Charles I?. Nelson, of Cadillac, Mich., who was the central figure in a sensational shooting affray in 1806 that almost resulted hi his death. Under the fluoroscope the ball in Xelson's heart could be plainly seen rising and falling with each pulsation oft he or gan. The bulb t has been there sinco the night of July 1,1896. The degree of interest in the Pan- American exposition which has devel oped in the different states and terri lories is up to the highest expecta tions. It assures adequate representa tion of the integral parts of the union, and in conjunction with government action a complete and comprehensive display of the diversified resources of Uncle Sam's broad domain. Official recognition of the exposition has been given in all the states. FULFILLED ALL PLEDGES. Cubn mill the Philippine* Hnvc llcru Deilll With A <•<•<) r<l i" n to PromiHt. The president rightly construes the recent act of congress as not the de nial but. the fulfillment of the pledge given to the Cuban people in 1 Hi»B. "The principles which led to our in tervention," he observed in his in augural address, "require that the fundamental law" of Cuba "should secure a government capable of olw serving its international obligations, of protecting life and property, in suring order and liberty, and con forming to the established and his torical policy of the United States." To these principles certain ele ments in Cuba sought to run counter. They forgot that "the peace we are pledged to leave to the. Cuban people must," as the president well said, "carry with it the guaranties of per manence." They sought to ignore the fact that "we remain accountable to the Cubans for the reconstruction of Cuba on abiding foundations of right, justice, liberty and assured order." Congress has done well to remind the Cuban leaders that the principles to which the island owes its freedom must control its use of that freedom. As we have fulfilled our pledges to the Cubans, so have we fulfilled our pledges to the Filipinos. "We are not." as the president correctly de clared, "waging war against the in habitants of the Philippines. A por tion of them are making war against the United States. By far the great er part recognize American 112 over- WANTED-A SAFE LEADER. ijm, ML Iy, 2 v 7Pb AiU'/X://; )/ / A: /^ ' I eignty ami welcome it as a guaranty I of security for life, freedom of con- ] science and the pursuit of happiness." | These are the facts in the Philippines, no matter how hysterical critics may try to distort the truth. And neither in the Philippines nor | in Cuba will the majority who appre ciate our purposes and welcome our j rule be abandoned to the self-seeking minority. "We will not," said the ] president, referring to the Philip-1 pines, "leave the destiny of the loyal ] millions to the disloyal thousands. Force will not be needed or used when •hose who make war against us shall make it no more." Nor will j force be needed or used in Cuba un- j less those who have been trying to j annul the principles to which Cuba i owes its liberty shall attempt to : make war against us. Of that there j is little danger. The real people of Cuba, as the real j people of the Philippines, know that the United States is fulfilling its i pledges. They know that the policy | of the I'nited States means to them j international safety and domestic j tranquillity and prosperity. They ! know that American control means "the reign of peace to be made per manent by a government of liberty under law." Only a few short-sight ed and narrow minded Americans, out of touch with the people and unable to comprehend the American spirit, deny that our pledges to both Cu bans and Filipinos have been strictly fulfilled. —Chicago Inter Ocean. The AVliul Cl«n. Col. Bryan shows his continuing aversion to harmony with democrats not attuned to himself by drawing his pen and jabbing therewith the fairy form of Hon. Grover Cleveland. To tell the truth, the colonel doesn't make a graceful attack, lie has not the command of ink that he has of voice; and in the matter of dullness and re verberant monotony we are not sure that there is much to choose between the Ostrich Tamer and the Fisherman. Still, the candid philosopher must agree with much that Col. Bryan lias to say about Mr. Cleveland, and with what Mr. Cleveland is known to think about Col. Bryan. About each other these distinguished democrats are sub stantially right, whatever be their varying degrees of correctness fir in correctness as to other subjects.

The formulation of the United States' demands on Cuba by the senate has already had a good effect in the island. It has brought out some ex pressions among the Cubans which show that a few of them at least grasp the necessities of the situation. Many of the delegates to the constitutional convention are said to accept the view that Cuba should steer clear of all complications which would endanger the principle of the Monroe doctrine, (ien. Gomez declares that he wants to see the American troops remain in Cuba for awhile longer. If they should witrdraw now, he says, he would go with them. All this shows a sense of the political proprieties. A few of the Cuban con stitution franters pretend to believe that the demands which have been formulated by the senate will not be adopted by congress. If they really hold this view they will quickly see their mistake. The stipulations which have been drawn up by the senate's committee meet the views of nine out of every ten of the American people, and perhaps of a still larger propor tion. There will be no relaxation of these demands in any essential partic ular. The guarantees which they pro vide are so manifestly necessary for the welfare of the Cubans as well as for the interests of the United States that they command the favor of the American people, and will ultimately be accepted by the Cubans themselves. There is a conservative element anions' the Cubans which lias not yet been hefird. This element will be en couraged now to speak out. One ex ponent of Ihis ingredient of the Cu bans, the newspaper La Itealidad, comes out in favor of the retention of American control of the island for a considerable time yet, or until the new government gets fully under way. It says, after a look over the situation, that ignorance, wastefulness, venality and incapacity are in evidence in the municipal governments by the Cubans which have been set up under Ameri can auspices. It asks, therefore, that if the Cubans have failed even when, in some degree, under American tute lage, what would be the extent <>f their failure and consequent disorder and chaos throughout the island if Amer ican restraint were withdrawn? This is the attitude which is likely to be taken before long by a large majority of the educated Cubans. America's de mands are going to be accepted by the Cubans. They will quickly see that, these guarantees are essential for their own safety, and that the Ameri can government has their interests in liew in formulating them.- St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

I'lan ot a .11 issoti rian IVIio I'rixide* Over an "American l(<Mniiruii(" in Aleilro. Travelers in Mexico find much to be desired in the matter of hotels and restaurants, unless they happen to be admirers of Spanish-American cooking. To obtain a home-like cui sine, a recent visitor from New York became a daily patron of one of Ihe numerous "American restaurants," presided over by a Missourian who, avowedly, had not moved t*o the sis ter republic altogether in pursuit of health. His business had thrived to such an extent that in a few months he found himself employing perhaps a score of waiters, representing fugi tive Spaniards, "greasers," Indians, ex-cowboys, half-breeds and other specimens of the human family not famous for exactitude in accounts. During the meal hours the hawk eyed Missourian seemed to keep a vigilant watch over every part of tlie ' place. No reckoning was made of the ■ articles furnished a waiter, whose! habit it was, when a patron had com pleted his meal, to jot down on a slip of paper the charge for each dish served, as represented by the empty plates on the table. Collecting the sum due, the waiter would hand memorandum and money to the proprietor, who sat perched in his eerie behind the counter. The Missourian would then aim his vision at the table, however distant, and pretend to verify the tally. After this he would scrutinize the waiter in a manner meant to penetrate his very soul, move his lips as if -computing figures, loudly strike the bell in the cash register and deposit the coins in the till. among tiie railways. Rock Inland Will Hun Clie«.p Eicor- MIOIIM to Colorado. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railway, which made a phenomenal success of cheap excursion rates to Colorado last season, has again asked its competitors in the Western and Southwestern Passenger associations to agree upon a series of cheap excursons to and from Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo for the approaching sea son on the following basis: Tickets to be sold front Chicago and all territory up to Missouri river June 18, 25, July 16, 23, and 30, Aug. 0, 13, 20 and 27, at the rate of one fare plus $2, ir $31.50 for the round trip. On July 2 and 9 and Sept. 3 and 10 a rate of $25 is to be made from Chicago, and sls from Missouri river points for the round trip. Intermediate territory will have pro portionate rates. Tickets are to be sold from Missouri river points one day later than the dates given above in each case. Proportionate rates will be made to and from Glenwood Springs, Salt Lake City and Ogden. A series of East bound excursions is also proposed, tickets to be sold from Colorado common points every Thursday, commenc ing with June 20 up to and incltldng Sept. 12, at a rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip. All ticliets will be limited for return passage to October 31. These rates will he tendered connecting lines for bas ing purposes, which will probably insure a very low basis of rates throughout the Unit ed States for these excursions. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific will unquestionably make these rates and ar rangements effective, regardless of the ac tion of its competitors, and will run special trains, only one night out to and from Col orado, on the dates named. —Chicago Inter Ocean. Tlie Sensitive Flantn. Plants for the pleasure and instruc tion of children are often sought for. The sensitive plant, Mimosa pudiea, is an excellent one for this purpose. It is easily raised from seeds sown in spring. The habit is rather sprawl ing for a pot plant, but by a little pinching in management compact specimens may be obtained. Few plants give more interest to children in watching the leaves close or fall on being touched. Kven grown peo ple have their attention attracted by the remarkable motion. —Meehan's Monthly.

I have been afflictet more or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and con stipation. A residence in Washington has increased these troubles.

Peruna ii surely a wonderful remedy for catarrhal affections."—J. D. Botkin Congressman-at-Large. CONGRESSMAN BOTKIN is one of the most influential and best known men in the State of Kansas. Whatever he may say on any subject will be accepted by the people as the truth. So famous a remedy as Peruna could not have well escaped the atten tion of so famous a man. lie not only has heard of the remedy, but he has used it and was relieved of an affliction of twenty-five years'standing - . I'eruna is the one internal remedy that cures chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh wherever located. This is a fact that the people are rapidly finding out, but there are still a large multitude who need to know it. Mr. Frank Richter, of Winona, Minn., j says in a letter to The Peruna Medi- j cine Company: "As a remedy for catarrh T take j pleasure in recommending Peruna. for catarrh of the stomach. I know what it is to be afflicted with this awful dis ease and consider it my duty to say a word in behalf of the remedy which fj-ave ine such relief. Peruna cured me, I and I know it will cure anyone else who suffers from this disease. It gives me preat pleasure to testify to the cura tive effects of this medicine. Peruna is a well tested and frequently used rem edy, and for catarrh of the stomach is unsurpassed. "My catarrh was principally located in my head and stomach.
