The Christian Union, seize him firmly from
behind below the armpits, trying to prevent
his turning upon you. II. in spite Of your
grasp, he seems likely to turn, swim two or
three feet away, and try to grasp him be-
hind once more. Should he once seize you
firmly, strike him with quick blow be-
tween the eyes. Then, when he is dazed,
jerk yourself free, grasp him again, and
help comes.
In surf bathing, if you are caught in the
undertow near shore, swim in near the sur
face. But if pretty far out from shore, swim
high on the top of the waves and low in the
trough. This rule depends on complex

INDIANS WANT TO DANCE.
II They are Stopped They Declare They
Will Fight.

Will Fight.
PARIS, TEXAS, August 2.-The Govern
ment authorities and the Iowa Indians have
been engaged in controversy at Fort Sill
for some time. It has grown out of an
effort on the part of the Indian agent to
prevent the annual sun dance of that tribe.
The reason was that it demoralized the
Indians and made them hard to control.
This seems to be exactly what they want,
and they insisted. They sent to Goodnight's
ranch, in the Texas Panhandle, for a
buffalo, and their slogan was son with the
dauce." The agent was relentless and de-
termined to stop at all hazards the dance,
but the Indians declared that they would
dance or fight.
In order to enforce the order and prevent
trouble, two companies of soldiers were sent
to the reservation and everything is quiet
at present. The Indians are sullen and say
they will still dance.

BERLIN, August 2.-Orders have been
sent to the frontier customs posts and to the
railways in Poland to watch for the threat
ened migration of Hebrews from Russia.
The new Russian regulations, though not
expressly aimed at the expulsion of the
Hebrews, will tend to drive from the coun-

farming Hebrews, who are largely settled in

the flight westward of many thousands of

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Bill Agreed Upon by the
Committee.
AN INVESTIGATION PROPOSED
Appointment of a Special Commits
sion Provided For-Opposed by
the Minority.

WAsafSGToN, April Al. L. Taylor,
from the committee on the alcoholic
liquor traffic, to-day reported to the
house the bill agreed upon by the com
mittee, providing for the appointment
of an alcoholic liquor traffic commission.
The report Of the committee says that
q large portion of the people have Tor a
long time desired an honest impartial
and thorough investigation of the liquor
traffic in all its phases. Reference Is
made to the inquiries by similar COM
mi sion in England, which had brought
boat remarkable results and warranted
further Investigations.
The report says; From domestic
sources II Is indicated that the liquor
traffic caused four.liiths of all the crime
committed, wasted one half of the taxa
tion, incapacitatcs annually u million OF
people for labor and busi-
ness, causes three -fourths OF
tho pauperism of the country
IL responsible for q fearful increase In in
sanity and iinbocility, and does no good
to any body. On the other hand, these
statements are deemed and pronounced
to be halluclnations of diseased brains.
Therefore let us have an investigation,
and let the world know the truth or
falsity of these assertions"
Mr.. Quinn presented minority re-
port In opposition. lie says that under
the terms of the bill, while tue commits
sioners shall not belong to tho same
political party, thoy may all be pr0hibi-
ionists. The majority concede that
congress has no power TO regulate the
liquoe traffic in the state, aud IL is
therefor novel proposition that IL shal |
investigate the subject without possess
ing the power TO carry out by legislation
the recommendations made by the com
mission.
Mr.. quinn maintains that there is no
information on the subject that has not
already been published. 1t has been
agitated and discussed for forty years,
and II Is an insult to their ability and
intelligence to say that the people are
not informed upon the subject, and that
this commission can In two years give
them what they do not already know.
In conclusion, MIR. Quinn says: I'm
doubleday the bill is one OF those nuiner.
GUS measures originating outside oi

pose of which is personal advancement
and selfish interest. The bill is in
