night The vessel was searched and
only five pounds of opium were found.
The customs officers say they did not
expect to find more, but the seizure
was for past otfenscs and that libel
will be fled against her in a.few days.
Beyond is.they will say nothing. 1t
is known, however, that the customs

has turned over to the inspectors all
the correspondence he has had with
the owners of the vessel during the
past nine months concerning traffic in
opium and Chinese Importation and has

The Haytien republic has been under

letters purporting to have been

urge Agent Wilson to push the pas

gave the inspectors cipher dispatches

The dispatches and letters also CON

that they are cognizant of the SNUG

1t Is Alleged That He is in coIusion With
the Pine Land Ring.
ST. PAUL, May 51.-The seven mem
bers of the joint legislative committee
investigating the alleged steal of
100000 worth Of pine land were cha
grined over the announcement that
they must give up their work and go
home, as the SIS, 900 they We're to use in
pushing the case had been appropriated
by joint resolution and not by bill.
Attorney General Child decided that the
money thus appropriated could not be
made available. and the committee had
therefore to adjourn. The men who
are fighting the pine land ring" are
loud in their charges that Senator
Donnelly knew when he introduced the
resolution and Governor Nelson knew
when he signed it that it would prove
abortive. They say there has been
collusion to save the pine land thieves
The two officials referred to say it was
one of those oversights common in the
rush of the closing days of u legislative
session. The affair has crested a great
deal of excitement but the evidence
against Governor Nelson and Senator
Donnelly is Of such shadowy nature
that it will not cause them much loss
of sleep.

RACE HORSES FRET.
Johnny Mccafferty Explains ths Cause Of
inconsistent Running,

Inconsistent Running
Sr. Louis, May s1.-s'C Consistent per-
forming on the part of race horses is an
impossibility,' said johnny Mccutferty
today. Race horses like human be-
ings do their best only when they feel
like running. Like ourselves they be-
come indisposed frequently, and this
often occurs Just ut the time their own
ers and trainers expect and would give
almost anything to have them win
OF course owners rs II rule as
certain the fact that the horse
is not right, but occasionally 1T is not
known. Sometimes IL delay happens Mt
the post which frets and wearies a
horse until he is no account whatever
The general public has no idea what an
effect a long delay at the post has on a
horses chances. These delays are par
ticularly trying in Il stake event. when
the starters have been trained almost
off their feet. They go to the posi- as
fine as silk and a long delay with nu-
merous false breaks upsets them COM
pletely.
IA case of this kind happened to me
last Thursday ! had Jack Joiner in
in upple-pie order for the bankers and
brokers' stake that afternoon, and it
will be remembered that an unusually
long delay occurred at the post. This
worried and wearied my youngster to
such an extent that after we had been
endeavoring to get off for some twenty
five or thirty minutes with
out success knew he was
done for and informed the staeter
not to mind what position I .sias
in as long as was going, bun to let
them off. Now, ] and the public who
bet on my horse, although am glad to
say not many people did on this occa-
sion, practically did not get rur. for
our money. But it is part of the for
tunes of horse racing. If horses were
to run as cold calcnlators figure out
they should a bookmnler backed by
all the banks OF st. Louis would be
slaughtered in short order"

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS.
Love Made Him Mad.

Sioux TAILS, $. d., June 1.-The
commission Of lunacy will tomorrow in
yestigate the case of Daniel Foster, a
prosperous farmer of this county. A
few weeks ago a girl to whom Foster
was supposed to have been engaged
ran away with a handsomer man. This
seems to have unseated Fosters mind.
Recently Foster went into the German
bank and though he had no money on
deposit demanded $1,000. Being re-
fused. he tried to get into the door,
presumably to help himself. The door
was shut upon him and Foster went
away, taking with him liberal supply
of stationery. This is the second time
Foster has tried to raid the bank.

What an English Authority Thinks the
Great Horss Can Do.
CIucAGo, May 81. The great
Orme's chances in the racing
world this year are beginning to
excite talk. An Englishman says: "rhe
duke of Westminster has refused an
offer of ego, ,ooo for Orme. This horse
is to run for the Rous memorial at As.
cot and probably for the Hardwicke
stakes also, if the ground isin good or.
der. Unless La Fleche is at her best.

memorial entry that can haYe a
chance with Orne on his last years
form over this distance. Isinglass
and Ravensbury arc among the g.
year-olds engaged, but animals of that!
age are not likely to be started for this.
Now that Mr.. Baird's death has dis.
qualified NIeddler, the Hardwicke also
looks Il good thing for Orme or La
Fleche, as Raeburn is the best g.
year-old in the entry. After Ascot
Orme is to be kept for the Eclipse
stakes, in which La Fleche is also
engaged, and so are Chene Royal,
Rarley and Perigord.

favor of the Krag-Jorgensen gun, and

equaled the foreign rifle
Congress has appropriated s400, 900

SlssEToN AGENCY, S. D., Nluy aO.-
Good Will Mission society is intensely
wrought up and stirred over the
avowed intention of one of the teach
ers, Miss Cynthia d. Rockwell, to
marry full blooded Indian, Richard
King, who has been attached to the
working force of the mission for the
past few years
The affair reminds one greatly of the
much discussed Cora Belle Fellows
Chaska match which occurred few
years ago at Standing Rock agency, S.
ID. Like Miss Fellows, the heroine of
that occasion, Miss Rockwell came
from Washington city, where, tits said,
she once reigned a belle.
Since then she has had varied
career, reaching for mora than the last
twenty years Tho last few years she
has been engaged in the missionary
work at this place, and where. it seems,
she has at last met her fate.

objected on the grounds that many
rumors were current concerning King,
and which, if true, were not particu.
larly to his credit. Accordingly an in
yestigation was ordered, and which
developed some rather sensational
testimony.
In the light of this testimony the
Indians did not deem his conduct con-
sistcnt with that expected OF one in his
position and refused the application.
1t was then thought that this would
end the match, but Miss Rockwell
proved true blue and refused to desert
the fallen fortunes of her duslsy lover.
The friends and relatives of Miss
Rockwell are terribly wrought up, and
till now have vehemently denied the
rumor... 1t was, moreover, on account
OF their opposition that Miss Rockwell
has SO long cndeavored to keep the
matter a secret.

statement that they have both been

ONIONS ARE GOOD MEDICINE


There Is Much More Than Mere Odor to
the fearful Bulb.
Onions are looked upon with lisfavor
by many Americans, says writer in
the Globe Democrat. Onions are too
yociferous in their odor and too self.
assertive to be liked by anyone pos.
sessed of II strong will. They offer too
much opposition There is more to the
onion. however, than its mere odor.
Onions are kind of all-around good
medicine, and every housewife knows
this without knowing why. She knows
that a solid red onion, eaten at bed
time, will by the next morning break
the severest cold. She also knows
that onions make a good plaster to
remove inflammation and hoarseness.
But she does not know why. If any
one would take an onion and mash it,
80 as to secure all of the juice in it he
would have a most remarkable SMELL
ing salts-an odor thnt would quiet
the most nervous person in no time.
The strength of it inhaled for few
moments will dull the sense Of smell
and weaken the nerves until sleep is
produced from sheer exhaustion. It
all comes from one property possessed
by the onion, and that is a form of
opium. Onions are narcotic in their
tendencies, and for that reason the
very best OF food. Anyone who eats
a late supper and imagines that he
will not be able to sleep had better or
der a dish of fried onions and close his.
meal with them. There will be no
danger Of wakefulness then. The.
amount OF opium in q saucerful of fried
unions will overpower the most sensi-
tive digestive organs, oven when dis
tnrbed by late meal, and one can
sleep just as we'll as though no meal
had been eaten The Chinese UNDER
stand the onion better than the other;
nations OF the earth. A Chinaman will
mix dried onion sprigs with tobacco
and smoke them they probably find
1t lends additional charm to = genial
pipe and brings On that eondi ition 0f
