THE NAMES OF THE CATTLEMEN WHO HAVE
ORDERS To MOVE on.
The recent order of the President, directing
the cattlemen to vacate the lands now occupied
by them for grazing purposes i'm the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe Indian reservations in Indian
Territory, has given rise to numerous protests
to the department. The cattlemen are gwen
forty days to vacate, and they have asked that
the time be extended to one hundred days
The leases made by the Indians covering these
lands as far as know to the Indian bureau are to
the following parties: f. Fenton, Leavenworth,
Kan, 56i SO acres; term, 10 years; price per

The Deadly Congo Country.

REAR ADMIRAL ENGLISH DOES NOT THINK 1T
WISE FOR AMERICANS To TRY TO ESTABLISH
THEMSELVES THERE.
Rear Admiral English, commanding the
south Atlantic squadron reports to the Navy
department in regard to the ACCESSIBILITY Of
establishing commercial resort at tire mouth
OF the Congo river, or Of securing limited dis
trict for depot and factorial establishment for
American citizens In that region, that the in
Vestlgatlons made by Commander Bridgman
and U. 5. Commercial Agent Tisdell show that
the natives 10y the clearinghouse employees,

deemed Ii unnecessary to take any further
action, and was of the opinion that to establish
a proposed coaling depot at the Congo would bee
nnwise and unnecessary. In January last three
Portuguese vessels came TO Banana point with
the avowed purpose of hosting the Portuguese
nag and taking possession OF Banana and the
north bank of the Congo, without waiting
for the conclusions Of the Berlin con,
ference. Vigorous protests were made, and
no overt act was committed. Even
Portuguese authorities We're only awaiting in
structions from Lisbon to renew the attempt
The agreement of the Berlin conference was ac-
quotes from letter Of Mr.. Tisdell, In which he
says: "The reputed wealth of the Congo valley
has been greatly exaggerated. and il will be an
undesirable and Improbable country for an
American to make his home or TO embark I'm
any bushes business enterprise. Between Viyi
all sides misery, want, sickness and death, par
tIcularLy amongst the employees of the interna-
tional association. The country does not and
cannot produce food for the white man to live
upon and barely produces enough for the ma.
tlves: This opinion is confirmed by Comman-
der Brdgman, of the kearssrge, who states
that 1t would be unwise tor the government TO
do anything TO encourage Americans TO 60 to
that region. The climate is deadly; there Is no
food for the white man save what he brings
with him: the difficulties I'm the way of estab-
fishing new business are very great and the
chances Of profit very small. There is no such
wealth in the Congo valley as has been reported
and Commander Bridgman has no faith i'm the
future predicted for IL by interested persons.

FOOD AND DRINK.
It Is well established that cholsra and
typhoid fever are very frequently, and par.
haps usually, transmitted through the med
ium Of infected water or articles Of food,
and especially milk. Fortunately We have
q simple means at hand for disinfecting such
infected fluids. This consists in the applica-
ton Of heat The boiling temperature
maintained for half an hour kills all known
disease germs. So far as the germs Of
cholera, yellow fever. and diphthsria arc
concerned, there is good reason to believe
that temperature considerably below the
boiling point Of water will destroy
them. But in order to keep on
the safe side it Is best not to
trust anything short Of the boiling point 212
degrees F., when the object is to disinfect
food or drink which is open to the suspicion
of containing the germs Of any infectious
disease.
During the prevalence Of an epidemic Of
cholera it is well to boil all water for drink
ing purposes. After boiling, the water may
be filtered, if necessary to remove sediment,
and then cooled with pure ice il desired
A sheet Of filtering paper, such as drug
gists use, and glass or tin funnel, furnishes
the best means for filtering water on q small
scale for drinking purposes. A fresh sheet
Of paper is to be used each day.
