A MOB's COwARDLY ACT.
Young Indian Taken From Jail and Hung
to q Tree.

report just received at the Indian Office
from an Indian agent gives striking picture
Of one phase Of the treatment of the Indian by
the whites. Indian Agent Cole Of the Colville
agency in Washington was instructed to inves-
tigate the reported trouble among the Okona-
gan Indians Of that state. In his report he
states: Il found on investigation that there
was some excitement among the Indians. but
more especially among those living off
the reservation in Okonagan county, over the
lynching of a young Indian named Stephen,
who was confined in the county Jail at Con-
conully as one Of the supposed murderers of a
white freighter by the name of Cole several
weeks ago. Deputy Sheriff Ives Of Okonagan
county killed an Indian by the name of Capt.
John, a cousin Of young Stephen, in trying TO
arrest him. who it is claimed. murdered the
freighter. Young Stephen came in an gave
himself up to the authorities with the under
standing that they should try him for killing
Freighter Cole by law, as he believed he could
prove himself clear. This, as have it, was on
his bonds were fixed at 81 900.
NOES cowARDLY ACT.
"while his relatives and friends were getting
the bonds twenty-five masked men, at 8 am.
on the 8th, went to the Jail and demanded al
inc pOiut vi tuciT guns Tue uciiNcry VI the prls-
oner. He was taken a short distance from the
Jail and hung to a tree. Stephen was not more
than fifteen years Of age. This was certainly a
very cowardiy act on the part of the mob. On
account Of threats made by young Stephens
friends the governor sent 200 rides and 6, zoo
rounds Of ammunition and troops were also
ordered to hold themselves in readiness to
move at a moments notice. do not fear any
trouble will arise from the lynching of the
young Indian, however, but it was
certainly q piece Of foolishness, to ss.y
the least. on the part Of the mob who
did the lynching. Something should be done
to suppress the whisky traffic with these Indians
rs trouble will certainly be the result if action
is not taken soon. Mr.. Thomas, the farmer for
the band Of Okonagan Indians. arrested white
man only few days ago and he reports that
there are at least twenty whisky sellers along
the Okoaagan river and but short distance
from the reservation. who follow selling whisky
to Indians for a livelihood.
~ trust the honorable commissioner OF
Indian affairs viii allow me to expend a reason
able amount of funds in the employment o
some suitable detectives to bring these guilty
parties to justice. 1t is out Of the question for
me or the employees to 60 of the reservation
to arrest these offenders and until that u done
the whisky traffic will continue"

AN ORATOR ON ORATORY,

The Great Power of Eloquence Lies in Gen.
uine Feeling, Not in Learning nor Logic.
In recent lecture before the New York Press
Club Hon. Daniel Dougherty, says the New
York World, outlined the requirements essen.
tial to an orator and the various styles of ora
tory. Some, he said, considered the profound
thinker the greatest orator; with others purity
of thought carried more weight than the supe-
riority Of style, which was to third class the
greatest requisite.
Some demanded force Of Illustration; other
considered the debater the true orator; still
others though. the scholar had all that was
necessary to oratorical prominence. With none
Of these, however, could the speaker agree.
Oratory was, to his mind, n heaven-born gift
and the orators skill came, not from erudition,
honesty of thought or purity of expression, but
from warmth Of feeling, and his real power lay
in heartfelt emotion.
An orator strong in expression Of honest
feeling can touch with sympathetic hands the
cords of every heart in his audience, rousing
all by his own fire and enthusiasm to unex-
ampled courage. patriotism, love of virtue and
a reverence for God. Such a man could win
worldwide fame, but the day for such men has

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Difhculty as to the Space for the Govern
ment Exhibit.

Difficulty as to the Space for the Govern.
ment Exhibit.
All is not well in worlds fair circles lust at
present, and it would not be surprising if there
were some outspoken discussion at Chicago
during the next few days. The trouble lies
between the Chicago local directory and the
governmental board of control, and it is all
about the amount Of land to be given to
the government for its exhibit. 1t is
not an unusual thing for expositions to run
against the ''land question:" and it seems to
be the fate of the coming show to be hampered
seriously by the conflict Of interests that will
necessarily arise from different claims that can
not be reconciled.
BETWEEN TWELVE AND EIaHrEEN ACRES.
Some time ago the Chicago directors made Q
promise to the board of control that the gov
eminent should have allotted to il space Of
between twelve and eighteen acres in the north
western section OF the park. On this basis the
supervising architect of the treasury went
ahead and planned a building designed to be
amply sufficient for the needs of the govern
ment exhibit This plan was accepted by the
that if the plans Of the directory were carried
out the main machinery hail of the general ex-
position wonld 30 overlap on the government
fifteen acres-this being the size of the plat
O.
Of the government building ~ would spoil the
effect
WHAT THE DIRECTORY ASKS.
The directory then asked that the govern
ment build an octagon structure, which would
not only be very handsome and quite adequate
in size, but would be economical in space But
such building could not be erected for the
S400 900 appropriated for this purpose and the
board of control, which has. In an its actions,
been as o unit, determined TO ask the directory
to adhere to its original promise Of fifteen acres
Accordingly it was decided that the committee
on buildings, consisting of Prof. G.. Brown
Goode, Maj. Clifton Comfy, Prof. Collins and
Capt. Meade, should go to Chicago and endeavor
to set the matter straight. Profs. Goode and Col
senting Capt. Meade, left the city last night
and will be Joined ON the way by Major Comfy,
who is stationed at the indianapolis Arsenal
Capt. Meade is not feeling well enough to
undertake the journey.

Smuggling Key West Tobacco Into Cuba.
The Havana police were recently informed
that large quantities Of tobacco were being &C.
cretly introduced into that city from Key West,
anda watch was set upon the steamer Aramzas,
which, it was said, was being used for this
illegal trade. This resulted in the seizure OF
ninety-one baskets, most of which contained
tobacco, the whole weighing about one ton.
These baskets are used for exporting fruits to
Key West and are supposed to come back
empty. The baskets containing the tobacco
were being taken away from the Caballeria
wharf when seized by the police.
