INDIANS GET THEIR MONEY.

Some Freezing to Death, but 1t Wasn't the
squaw With Dog.
GUTHRIE, o. r., Feb. 19.-During the last
week the Kiowa, Comanchs and Apache In
dians have been receiving q payment of
$3S,000 pasture money from the govern
ment. The payment has been made at
Anadarko, and large majority of the
three tribes have been encamped about
that place all the week. Many of them suf-
fered greatly during the extreme cold
weather which prevailed. An Apache boy
aged 16 and his 12-year-old sister started
to walk fifty miles to secure their share
of the money and were found frozen
to death. Gamblers and whisky peddlers
have been thick about the camp and few of
the Indians retain their money more than a
few hours. One Indian woman appeared
with child carefully wrapped Up and de-
msnded tho payment of its share. She
would not uncover its face because, she
said, the light would hurt its weak eyes;
but after she had secured the money some
mischievous clerk pulled aside the shawl
and discovered that the weak visaged child
was Il small dog carefully wrapped in fan-
nsls

OPPOSED TO THE NUDE IN ART.
Prejudiced Preacher Causes the De-
struction of Figures Of Venus

Prejudiced Preacher Causes the De-
struction of Figures Of Venus.
EDeERToN, Wie., Feb. ia bull in q
china shop could not have done create,
havoc than did the Rev. Mr.. Newton. the
California Evangelist. in the art pottery OF
Sampson Bros. in this city, where he dis
covered the figure Of Venus in cold clay.
The Reverend Mr.. Newton has been assist
ing in series of revival meetings held here,
and in saving mems souls he is success;
but his ideas of nude art are not in
accord with the prevailing spirit in
this section. Two of his most
ardent converts were the Sampson
brothers, Danish potters. who have con-
tracts for supplying figures for the Worlds
fair. The revivalist impressed upon them
the sinfulness of making figures of Venus,
and under his direction they proceeded to
smash several hundred dollals' worth of art
work before the worldly people could inter-
fere. The figures destroyed were really
fine works of art, meeting with ready sale
and approval from the public. Edoerton
people think that the Rev. Mr.. Newton
ought to confine his efforts to saving mems
souls and not interfere in worldly matters
that do not concern him.

NO FEAR OF THE ROPE.


Dr. Thatcher Graves Free Altar Having
Iseon Sentenced to Hang.
DENVER, Feb. 19.-Dr. 4. Thatcher Graves
will never be tried again for tho murder of
Mrs. Barnnby. The only way TO get wit
nssses from Providence, Il. l., IL TO pay
them pcr diem and expenses. The county
commissioners refuse to sanction tho OK
pense for this. and tho district
attorney announces that no at
tempt will be mado to hold another trial.
DIR. Graves had been under sentence Of
death for more than year, q verdict OF
guilty having been returned in his case
after . fisroely contested trial. 1t was
torce!y contested because tho relatives of
the murdered woman had determined 20
bring the defendant to the gallowa and by
reason of the standing OF the prisoner him
self.
Mrs. Barnaby, rich widow of go, who
had removed from Providence, X. l., to
Denver. died April 49, 1891. Tho cause OF
her death WAS ascertained to be a bottle of
poisoned whisky sent to her anonymously
by mail from Boston, Mass. and supposed
at the time to be the gift of certain friends
in the east Mrs. Wotrell. a friend of
Mra Barnaby. also partook OF the whisky
and became violently Ill. but recovered. DR..

estate and was thoroughly in the woman's
confidence. Whom Mr. Barnaby died in
September, 1889, DR.. Graves helped Mrs.
Barnaby to break his WILL and she sue

600, exclusive of fees and expenses. This
money was paid over to her through DR..
Graves. Tho last and largest instrument
Of it, $4,000, came into the DOCTORS hands

having been established the public mover
did and believed Graves innocent. II was
on technical ground, however, that the
privilege OF a second trial was secured, and
the state does not find a second trial prac.
ticable. DR.. Graves therefore goes free,

FlSHED UP AN OLD LAW,
Under Which Rhode Island Democrats
Have no Chance.


PROVIDENCE, X. L.. Feb. 19.-Rhods
Island democrats are in q bad way. There
is an old statute which says that all foreign
born citizens shall produce their natural
ization papers before the board Of oanvass-
ers of the cities and towns at the annual
canvass meetings held on the last Monday
in February of each year. The law has al
ways been dead letter. but recently Fed
eral Supervisor John Il. Blodgett dug it
out and announced that unless the statut Q
was complied with he would strike from
the voting list the names of all offenders in
this respect.
This means that II Blodgett carries out
his scheme the republicans will elect two
congressman in April. carry the legislative
ticket in every city and town, and secure
an inmense majority Of the state nominees.
1t further means that the democratic may
ors of this and other cities will be re-
placed by republicans. and that the latter
will again control tho state from top TO
bottom. even moro thoroughly than they
did twenty years ago.
is stating it mildly. A caucus Of the DEM
ocratic members Of the legislature was
held. and it was decided to introduce an act
repeating the obnoxious statute. There is
no hope OF the passage of such measure.
however, az the republicans have good
working majority in both branches.
A special session OF the democratic state
central committee was also held, and reso-
lutloas were adopted condemning the law
authorizing the existence OF federal super
visors and the presence of deputy
United States marshals at the polls.
1t was resolved that = copy of the
resolution be sent to President Elect
Cleveland. with request shat the law be
repealed. The committee also voted to
recommend tho appointment of George
Gordon King. of Newport, to a foreign con-
sulate. II Blodgett carries out his an
nounced Intentions the present democratic
congressman will contest the seats of their
republican Successors before the national
house.
