AM INOIAN EXECIITI0N

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July THE Jour
nal's Tahlequah, l. T., special says: AT
Waheka, the capital of the Seminole reser
vation yesterday, Umest, ull-blooded
Seminole, was executed. just a month
ago Umest engaged in a quarrel with a
fellow Indian, and, after knocking him
senseless with hoe, literally chopped his
body 10 pieces with it. He was tried by
the Seminole council, convicted and sem
fenced to death. The penalty was inflicted
yesterday at noon on the council ground.
Umest was led to low fat rock, and a
bandage tied over his eyes. He was not
bound in any way, but sat erect with his
hands resting in his lap, and apparently as
much unconcerned as if his photograph
were about to be taken. Two of the
braves were selected by lot as execution
ers. They were given loaded rifles and at
the word each sent a bullet into the con
demned mans breast. Umest's body was
buried by the council on the edge of the
council ground.

portant testimony was given today by
Car Inspector Arnold. He testified that
the freight train left Kent almost imme.
diately after the passenger train had pulled
out, and that when the freight was under
way the passenger was not more than two
hundred feet ahead of it. Barney Dyer, a
watchman at crossing about three miles
west of the wreck. swore that when the
more than mile away. This testimony,
it is said, shows that the freight had en-
croached at least three miles on the time
of the express, which was running late
with Il heavy train. The testimony also,
to A large extent, eXonerates Fred Boyn-
ton, the fiagman, as it shows that he had
not sufficient time to flag the freight
train. The report that twelve passengers
are still unaccounted for is emphatically
denied by Conductor Boynton.

SYDNEY, n. S. W., July THE crew Of
r schooner which arrived here from New
Zealand tells a story of the terrible suffer
ings of the crew of the bark Comprede,
bound from Calcutta for Chilli. The Com
prede caught fire at sea and her captain
made for Bluff Harbor, province of Otago,
New Zealand. Before the bark reached
the harbor she was overtaken by fearful
hurricane. during which the sea swept
over her and cleared her decks of every
thing which it was possible to wash away.
The Comprede was eventually so storm
stricken that she became water-logged
and began to sink. In this helpless con-
dition the Comprede drove upon a ridge
of rocks off the Auckland islands Her
crew managed to swim ashore, and there
they remained for 103 DAYS, and suffering
terrible privations and being reduced to a
state bordering upon starvation. While
hunting for food one unfortunate seaman
was lost in the bush and is supposed to
have starved to death. The Comprede's
crew was finally rescued at the end of 103
days by sailing vessel.

AN IRISH ROW-

DUBLIN, July z.-During the election in
Carlow for a successor to the late O'Gor-
man Mahon an exciting scene took place
in the polling booth at Bagnalstown.
Canon O'Neil, a supporter of Parnell, en-
tered the booth and voted; but the canon
was astonished to see his own curate in
structing the anti-Parnellites how to vote.
The canon vehemently protested against
the curate's action, claiming that it was
an attempt to intimidate the people. The
people out side of the booth, composed of
anti-Parnellites and Parnellites, hearing
the discussion going on inside, ranged
themselves on each side of the polling
place and, prepared for desperate scrim-
mage The police, however, soon gathered
in force upon the spot, and with difficulty
prevented free fight. In the midst of the
disturbance man tried to strike Parnell,

TERRITORIAL NEWS.
ecial Dispatch to the Daily Eagle

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
KINGFIsHER, Ok, July 7.-Hon. Horace
Speed has sent the following dispatch to
Capt. VIM. H. Hall, who has charge of the
removal of cattle from the Cherokee out
let:
Injunction refused; appeal taken. but
that cannot hinder you. You can and
should proceed with your work"
GUTHRIE, Ok, July There is a strong
feeling here that the cattle should be re-
moved from the strip at once. The people
do not understand why there should be
such delay in the carrying out OF eX-
ecutive orders. 1t seems as if the Cherokee
nation and the cattle men are stronger
than the administration. The people of
Oklahoma are loyal, but they are very
tired of the policy of the government to-
ward the Cherokees, and the feeling is
growing that there is something rotten IN
Denmark
The townsite board, composed of Messrs.
Foster, Schnell and Robertson, Is patiently
waiting for instructions from Washington.
The idiotic trifling that is being indulged
in in the matter of ratifying the school
land leases by the department in Wash
ington is beneath the dignity of the Unit
ed States Men have leased the lands,
paid their lease money, and now do not
know whether to go on the lands or not.
No satisfaction can be obtained from the
interior department, and it would seem
as if the matter had been turned over by
the department to some stupid clerk.
The attorneys for the townsites of East
Guthrie and Capital Hill have been noti-
fed that the homesteaders will take an
appeal.
United States Marshal Grimes returned
to Kingfsher Saturday and is expected
here today.
Hon. Horace Speed is at Kingfsher at
tending court.

How to Do Up Cretonne Draperies.

Large cretonne draperies, such as cur
tains and furniture covers. should be sent,
If possible. to cleaner, but if it is neces
sary to do them at home they may be
washed thus: Cut up some soap in small
pieces into basin, and fill up with boiling
water; leave this until it is in a jelly
When ready to wash the cretonne, put
this jelly in a tub with plenty of boiling
water, and let it become lukewarm. Then
wash the articles thoroughly in it. When
the dirt is out rinse the cretonne in tub
of clean water with little blue and some
salt. If very much soiled it may be neces-
sary to put it through two tubs of soap and
water. Roll the cretonne in an old
blanket and squeeze out the water; pull
the stuff into shape and hang it up to dry.
This method comes from practical source,
but it must be remembered that it is wiser
to send valuable curtains, ETC., to a
cleaners. However, this plan is safe one
to try for small and unimportant articles.

He was born at Rose, Wales, Sept 8,
1924. His youth was devoted to study Of
the law, but he afterward turned to sci
ence and the arts. His first appearance on
the stage was made in Australia. From
there he wenOtAaSan Francisco, where he
was not only admired as an actor, but
loved as man. In 1879 he joined Lester
Wallack's famous company in New York
and remained a member of it until 1887,
when it disbanded Another trip to Aus
tralia followed. Last year he returned tc
New York and became member of Angus
tine Days stock company. OF him Will
liam Winter wrote in The Tribune:
THAT he did not make greater i'm
preston upon his time is due to his mod
esty, his reticence, and the Incidence of a
dreaming and drifting temperament. He
never thought of himself first; he never
thought highly of himself at all. He was
one of the kindest and simplest of men in
every relation of life, and one of the finest
gentlemen that ever trod the stage"
He was an accomplished entomologist,
and his collection of insects-especially
butterfiies-is said to be the finest in the
United States.
