Narcotic Erect. of . California. Spring.


Superintendent Stout recently de
scribed wonderful mineral spring
that formerly flowed from the noun
tain side some miles above the Butte
Greek House and near the Plumas
county line.
This spring was first called to Mr.
Stout's attention some years ago
while camping in that vicinity by an
old prospector, who called it the
''chloroform SPRING The water
which flowed from it did not differ
in appearance or taste from the wa
ter of other springs, except that ii
was slightly brackish. 1t was the eff
feet that followed the drinking of its
waters that was remarkable. A small
cup would in the course of half an hour
render the drinker totally insensible,
and he would remain for hours as If
dead. But few white men had ever
tried the experiment of drinking
from it, but those who have done so
describe the effect as not unlike that
resulting from a heavy narcotic.
To the Indians this spring has been
known for generations. They call il
the heap sleep" spring, and it is
said that more than one weary red
man has entered the happy hunting
grounds through the medium of its
waters. .-Oroville Mercury.

A rather singular incident occurred
on the Savannah, Florida and West

about 40 miles from Waycross on a
through train to Chattahoochee. On
the track just in front of the train
the engineer. Mr.. DuBose. saw q sheep
with a young lamb. 1t was too late
to stop the engine. and the train
passed ON, leaving mutton in its
wake. Arrived at Waycross. the en-

Knights of Labor Headquarters
to Be Changed.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26. - The ex-
ecutiye committee of the Knights of
Labor held a meeting here today, and
the changes contemplated when that
body was reorganIzed lately are being
discussed by the committee. In addi-
ton to General Master Workman j. R.

French. Marlborough, Mass; j. Nj.
Kenney. Omaha. Neb.; III. B. Martin,
Minneapolis; Nj. j. Bishop. Boston, and

has been understood recently that the
committee had decided to remove the
headquarters of the order from Phila-
delphia to Washington. In regard to
this Mr.. Sovereign said to the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press:
mo such decision has been reached.
In fact, 1t is by no means certain that
the headquarters Will be removed from
Philadelphia. Washington is not the
only city to be decided upon if we
remove"
Concerning the reported withdrawal
of the *. Of l.. clothing cutters as

Record OF DonJon, the Washing
ton Crank.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-At the secret
service bureau of the treasury it is
stated that the information that the
bureau had concerning Donjon came
last Tuesday, when Chief Drummond
received a letter from Senator Mills
asking him to look out for man who
spelled his name DOMAIN, who had
Threatened his life. The senator gave
the address OF his correspondent as Is
and Is Passaic street, Newark, n. j e.
Chief Drummond wired his agent there.
who replied that the man wanted had
lived at the address given. and was a
criminal. In order to come to Wash
ington. he had forged, it is stated, his
fathers name TO money orders sent to
his parent by his mother and his sister,
who are working in the orange groves
in Florida. 1t is stated that as soon as
Donjon obtained this money he put
| his father out of his home and
sold the household furniture, leav-
ing the old man in destitute
circumstances. He then went to the
postotfice and told the postmaster 10
send all his letters to Havre de Grace.
1t is stated that there ale several
charges on which the man can be held
in case his sanity is proven. 1t is said
at the secret service bureau that by the
laws of the state Of New Jersey his
father can be compelled to appear
against him. There will be hear ring
of the case in the police court tomorrow,
when Mr.. Drummond will appear
against the prisoner.

TWO STATES.
Mr.. Holman Fayors q Distinct
Indian State.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. - Chairman
Holman, OF the house committee on In
dian affairs, today in discussing the let
ter of Gov. Fishback, said that there is
now pending before the committee on
Indian affairs bill designed to remedy
existing conditions by comforting in the
United States courts in the Indian ter
ritory greater authority than they now
possess. 1t was probable, he said. that
the committee would report the bill very
soon after congress reassembled, and he
would take occasion to ask Its early con-
sideration. The bill was prepared at
the interior department for the purpose
of securing better government of the
territory. Mr.. Holman has recently
sent ex-senator Dawes, chairman of the
Indian Territory commission, his views
regarding tue statehood movements,
which the Dawes commission is expected
to report upon. He told Mr.. Dawes that
he thought it would be advisable to
move the Indians now in Oklahoms to the
unoccupied lands of the present west
ern boundary of Indian territory. In
stead of the irregular boundary tina
separates the territories, Mr.. Holman
said, he would have straight line, and
would create two states out of the terri
tories. He thinks that 1t would be a
good thing to have an Indian state
which would be separate and distinct
from the interference and government
of the white people. Oklahoma would
contain about 22,000.000 acres, and the
eastern, or Indian, state would contain
about l0,000,0 900 acres, both capable of
making good states. Mir Holman says
that apart from other reasons in favor of
two states, there would he sentiment
III favor Of having one state OF Indian
population to work out its own destiny
III its own way, with two senators and a
representative to look after its rights i'll
the national government.
Representative McCrea, of Arkansas,
said today that the letter which Gov.
Fishback addressed to the president
upln the condition of things in the In
dian Territory states the case about
right. Mr. MrCrea thinks that the
present condition of the Indian Terri
tory makes congressional action impera-
