La Grfppe killing indians

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Feb. 20.-The
grip is playing havoc with the Chero-
KEGS, just east of the Usage agency.
Within radius of ten miles of Ska
took, twenty-five have died with
in the last six weeks and it
is still spreading. In one case
an entire family consisting of five
persons, died. The trouble seems to be
that they pay no attention to it, and do
not give up and go to bed until too late.
An Indian is very obstinate with dis
ease of any kind, and their faith is I'M
shaken in the powers of their medicin,
men.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Feb. 20.-E r.
Crowe1, manager of the big oatmeal
mill al this place, in an interview yes
terday. said there was no truth in the
article in the Chicago Tribune of We'd
nesday, which stated that the oatmeal
trust was compelled TO sell its products
for less than cost, and that it was in
danger of going to pieces. He said that
while competition was very sharp and
prices lower their products had not
been sold at loss, and even though
the trust should raise the price it
would not come out of the consumer.
but out of the retailer, who is making
big profits Just now.

pretty country girl, married Whalen at

Whalen's brutality. she was compelled
to return to her parents with her only
child. Later, seeing in Denver paper
an account of the death of Thomas
Whalen. she accepted the attention of
Moses Locke and married him.
VIII allen, who was not dead, learned
of the marriage and traced the couple
to Saginaw. where they had settled.
He then proposed to Locke to let him
alone for $500. Locke is poor, and
offered to compromise for 500. Whale n
refused, and continued to annoy the
family by letters.
Yesterday afternoon Whalen ap-
preached Locke's house. The latter
ordered him away. but Whalen refused
to go and made a move to draw a re-
volver when Locke seized a shotgun
and shot him dead, the charge even
driving silver dollars in Whalen's
pocket into his body.

Want to Hold Their ,Jobs

A Republican congressman from Ohio,
who called on the president and asked
Tor the appointment of some Of his Re
publican friends to positions in that state,
was informed by the president that he
intends to leave those affairs to his sue
cessor. AT the same time, he said he was
seriously considering the subject Of pJac-
ing the fourth-class postmasters under
the civil service regulations, which would
mean that 81 900 postmasters could not
De removed except for cause, and their
removal for simple political considerations
would be violation of the civil service
laws. This, taken ir connection with the
determination Of the postoffice depart
ment not to accept any more designations
Of postmasters, looks as if the present adj
ministration might after all leave some
serious trouble behind it for the Demo-
Gratis to wrestIe with.

ITO Cotton To-"

ITO cotton to-" meaning to like, to take
to, to agree with, is often looked upon as a
yulgarism, sometimes even as modern
Americanism. Bartlett includes 1t in his
dictionary. But this common colloquial-
ism, still in use on both sides Of the Allan
tic, Is survival Of respectable English
word. 1t is found occasionally in the
Elizabethan writer's, but the earliest ex-
ample in literature is probably the follow
ing, from Thomas Drant's translation Of

Gone With the Pins.

Where is the thrill of last nights fear?
Where is the tooth that ached last year
Gone where the lost pins go to;
For last nights riddle is all made plain,
The sunshine LAUGHS at the long past rain
And the tooth that ached has lost its pain,
That's what our troubles grow to.
Where are the clothes that we used to
wear?
Where are the burdens we used to bear
Where is the baldhead's curling hair?
Gone where the pins disappear to J;
For the style has changed and the
clothes are new,
The skies are wearing brighter blue,
The hair doesn't snarl as il used to do,
And the parting has grown more
clear, too.
Where are the bills that our peace dis
tressed?
Where is the pin that our baby "bless-
ed?''
Where are the doves in last years nest?
Where have the pins all gone to?
On the old bills paid are the new ones
thrown,
The baby's at school with her pins out
grown,
And the squads are running a nest of
their own
You can't bring 'em back il you want to-.
We can stand the smait of yesterday
To-day's worse ills we can drive away I;
What was and is brings no dismay
For past and present sorrow.
But the burdens that make us groan and
sweat
The troubles that make us fume and fret,
Are the things that haven't happened yet
The pins that we'll find tomorrow.
-[Robert j. Burdette in Ladies' Home
Journal.
