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

action a complete and comprehensive
display of the diversified resources of
Uncle Sam's broad domain. Official
recognition of the exposition has been

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-

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. Ii
may not be courteous, but it is natural
that two of a trade should not agree.

IcdKcd a n n CJiiarimtee of
:.ti» nee.
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

KEEPING WAITERS HONEST.
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.

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

Plants for the pleasure and instruc

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

February 12th and each Tuesday there

In a recent letter to Dr. Ilnrtman, Congressman Botkin, of \\ infield, Kan.
whose fame is a national one, says of Peruna :
My Dear Doctor—" !t gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent cura
tive qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Manalin. 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. A few
hottles of your medicine have given me almost complete relief, and I art
sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure. 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. I tried many |
remedies without success. I tried sev- ;
eral doctors, but they were unable to ]
cure me. I read of Peruna in tli*» pa- j
pers and five bottles cured me." — j
Frank Richter.
The gastric juice is secreted by the \
mucous follicles of the stomach.
When this juice is normal it digests

however, the gastric juice is not nor

known as indigestion. Peruna will j
