The story that certain Indians in
the west are patiently awaiting the
coming Of a Messiah who promises
to restore to them their hunting
grounds as their fathers of a century
ago knew them, with forests, un-
broken prairies, the presence of
unlimited game and the utter
absence of white men, shows that
the untutored savage may some
times be as credulous as the
civilized white man of Illinois.
Our friends at Rockford who have
been bowling down to that long
haired swindler, Schweinfurth,
will now have the pleasure of
companionship. By the way, if
this promised Messiah comes and
commits himself to the pledges he
is expected to make it will prove
that there is at least one man in
the world who can lie worse than
an Indian agent.

JOab Mckinley and His Great

From the Chicago Trlbun

From the Chicago Tribune.
And Jacob said to Amasa: Art
thou in health, my brother? And
Joab took Amasa by the beard
with the right hand to kiss him.
But Amasa took no heed of the
sword that was in Joab's hand. So
he smote him Herewith under the
fifth rib.
Joab Mckinley is just now full
of tender solicitude regarding the
health of his friead Amasa, the
American farmer, and he is filling
the ears of that simple-minded in
dividual with fine stories of all he
is going to do for him. Higher
duties on hops, eggs and beans are
to be imposed on consumers for
Americas protection but he
does not observe Joab's sharp

MEXICO GETS IT.
The State Encampment of the
First Regiment, N. G. NJ,
and Artillery to be Held
in this City.

The st. Louis Republic of to-day
says the militia forces of st. Louis,
comprising the First Regiment, N.
G. M, the st. Louis Light Artil-
lery and the Regimental Band, in
all amounting to a force of over
400 men, are now looking forward
to a grand summer encampment
arranged for the early part of Au-
gust, which will be held at Mex
leo, Mo-, whose Mayor and people
were evidently determined that
that pleasant little city should be
the temporary seat of mimic war.
The Mexico Fair Grounds were
placed at the service of the State
soldiery for a camp, and at a meet
ing of the committee it was decid-
ed that the annual encampment
should accordingly be held in Mex
leo from July s to 13, inclusive.
This fact was telegraphed to Mayor
G. L. Ferris of Mexico, and in re-
ply a dispatch was yesterday re-
ceived from that gentleman stating
that he would arrive in st. Louis
to-day and would meet the COM
mittee this afternoon for the pur-
pose of arranging all details of the
encampment. A meeting was
thereupon called for 3 O'Clock p.
m. at the Armory.
There is no doubt that many
visitors from st. Louis will be
drawn to Mexico by the attractions
of brass buttons, clinking sabres
and handsome young volunteers,
and with the natural attendance of
the hespitable people of Mexico,
who will be the real hosts of both
the soldiery and civilian visitors,
the encampment ia looked forward
to with most pleasurable anticipa-
tion. It is expected that Gov.
Francis and staff will visit and in
spect the camp when fully estab-
lished, and also that officers and
soldiers of other State organiza-
tions will be present.

A New York burglar stole a dia-

sealskin doiman worth $500, and
all the money he got from the
''fence" who bought the goods was
$3.50. The burglar added that he
once stole eleven gold watches,
each valued by the jeweler at $3.50,
and all he got for the lot was 1925.
He had to take this or run his own
risks. The profit is not in the
stealing, but in the ssfencing.n

old soldiers and citizens led by

tattered old flag that headed the
procession was the same one the
