TIE CHICAGO NATURAL GAS

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-There were a number
of visitors today at the brewery where
natural gas had been discovered, but they
found no gas on exhibition. Brewer Cooke
allowed the flame Of natural gas at his es-
tablishment to 90 out with the old year
after exhibiting it to thousands of specta-
tors for ten days. The gas is still there. of
that there can be no doubt, bat Mr. Cooke
desires to erect gasOmeter to use the gas
for practical utility Mr. Cooke feels con
fident that When he resumes the pumping
process the gas will come as before. He
made several tests before he decided to
suspend gas pumping for any length of
time. by stopping the engines and allowing
all the water aud gas TO run out of the
supply pipes. Each time the gas came
with the resumption of pressure, which
establishes the fact that the source of the
gas is at the end of the supply pipe to stay.
When the apparatus for receiving the gas
is perfected. and if the pressure proves suf-
ficient. Mr.. Cooke viii operate his boilers
and machinery with natural gas.

The Secret of EconomY.

Care Is great secret of economy; and this
Is gift that does not come to all and is with
difficulty acquired. Some persons beautify
that which belongs TO them, others at once
defile and misuse il. Clothes require to lie
handled, shaken and brushed, hung BY proper
loops, i'll natural folds, not crowded and kept
TO their distinctive places and uses. Care of
the person is an aid in ecOnomizIng clothing,
for nothing Is more destructive than dirt
perSpiration, skin exhaIations, and nothing
furnishes more rapid marks Of deterioration.
Care Is particularly necessary IN the Use OF
gloves, fine handkerchefS and such other
costly accessories of the toilet as are indis-
pensable-fans for example
People who are careless of their own be

the rest of the constitution, who has
denied that leyying war against

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.

bring out a great deal of the warmest and
most exciting debate. If opportunity of

The RAILROAD COMMUTE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. at is understood
that Speaker Carlisle has left to the presi-
dent the makeup of the committee on
Pacific railroads, and that both gentlemen
are determined that something shall be
done this session toward securing settle
ment between the government and the
roads on some sort of basis. The trouble
with committees generally is that on this
railroad subject, they are generally divided
in opinion just as the these Pacific road
commissioners in their report. Messrs.
Crisp and Cultivate could possibly have
gained as much information as the com
mission has by investigation of their own,
had they been backed up unanimously by
the railroad committee and the house.
There Is no doubt OF one thing, however,
and that is, that Cleveland and Carlisle
Will see to it that the new committee will
be composed of men in accord with the
majority of the commission.

The Iaqui Indians Being Much Abused by
the Land GrabberS.

SAN FRANIsCo, Jan. "A special to the
Examiner from Nogales, A r., Says:
Strange and startling news has been devel-
oped in the past few days in the Yaqui
river campaign. The Yaqui war has been
carried on with the understanding that at
its close the land of the Yaqui and Mayo
reservations We're to be divided into sever
making the Yaquis and Mayos believe this
the majority surrendered. 1t has now
come to light that the Mexican gunboat
Democrat, has secretly removed at var
ious times over 1,500 Indians from the
reservation. They have been taken 10 the
state of Colma, where they are dying of
fever and other diseases. Chief Cajams
who was supposed to have been shot ac-
cording TO the military customs Of the
country, is said to have been assasSinated
after making the confession He was
taken aboard the gunboat at Guyamas,
and at dead of night the vessel steamed
down to the mouth of the Iaqui river
where he was given a horse and told

while leading the party one OF his escort
rode up behind him and shot him in the
back After he fell several other balls
were fired into his body On what pretense
the Indians were invited on board the
Democrat, is not known. The remainder
of the Yaquis are desperate. and two or
three light skirmishes which have taken
place in the past will be followed by open
warfare. The Indians are destitute
