loft, when Holt ordered him to come
down, but he refused to do so.
Holt then got his shotgun, and, en-
tering the granary, again ordered
Fowler to come down. Fowler said:
81 will as soon as l drive this NAIL"

and fired, the whole load penetrating
the victims left breast, tearing his
heart to pieces. He then ordered an
other man, who was working in the
loft with Fowler to throw him down
and come down himself.

fensive man about IS years old, and

HOW TO KEEP COOL.
Some Timely Suggestions Regarding Warm
Weather Clothing.

Some Timely Suggestions Regarding Warm
Weather Clothing.
There are many ways of keeping cool
in hot weather besides getting under a
shower bath or sleeping in the cellar.
Common sense will keep away many of
the ills that come from excessively hot
weather and science will do the rest.
People have an idea, for example,
that cotton is good deal cooler than
wool. Cotton will lie close to the skin,
get wet and speedily become uncom-
Portable. A high grade of spun wool,
of an extremely light weight, will not
stick to the skin and will thus leave
room for the air to circulate between
the steaming body and the product of
the blessed sheep. This seems to be a
funny idea, but it is full of truth.
Another truth that science has helped
to furnish and which is better under
stood by the people at large is that
relating to the use of certain colors
in summer wear. 1t is a matter
of general knowledge that black
Is not suitable color for the warm
months. 1t attracts the heat and
keeps it. Anyone who has worn a
pair of patent leather shoes in the
sunlight of summer and then changed
to russell or white shoes under the
same conditions of weather will re-
member the sense of relief that fol-
lowed.
/ So it is a wise thing to do to put
away black and other very dark gar
ments and adopt coats and trousers
made of white. Such garments not
only look cooler, but, in point of fact,
they are cooler.
Some foolish people are deluded into
the notion that ice water is cooling. 1t
is for the instant, but the reaction is as
hot as Wyoming geyser. To cool
the head, apply a cool-not cold
damp towel to the veins that supply
the cranial section with its blood.
Keep quiet, keep your temper, eat
lightly, and you may laugh at the
antics of the sun.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A PERTINENT KICK.
Objections to the Proposal to Bring
 Back Geronimo.

Objections to the Proposal to Bring Back Geronimo.
 To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN
 l see by the dispatches that Secretary Lamont has issued an order transferring Geronimo and his Apache band of out
 laws, first to Oklahoma and then in tbe fall to the Apache reservation in this territory.
 In the Indian appropriation bill just
 passed by a Democratic congress an amount IS specified to bear the expenses of their transfer, and this, too, as the dispatch says, Tin spite of Delegates Smith, of Arizona, Joseph, of New Mex ico, and Flynn, of Oklahoma" The governments plea for making this change is one of humanity" It is said these Indians are dying of con- sumption because of the unhealthy climate in Alabama where they are now stationed.
 If the present policy of Mr. Lamont, secretary of war, to abandon military
 posts now is executed and these des-
 peradoes are again inflicted upon the helpless people of this territory what
 will be the result? Is it humanity for this administration to endanger the lives of hundreds of our best people for
 the benefit of improving the health of
 this marsuding band of 300 Indians :? If the Democratic party, strong as it
 may seem, proposes to invoke a policy of humanity with reference to these outlaws let It be done by surrounding them with strong body of unem
 ployed United States troops that the
 law abiding and industrious citizens may not be sacrificed. In view of the fact that this order of the secretary IS likely to be carried out at once and Geronimo again permitted to resound the war trumpet in our midst ana re- sume his cruel butcheries. should we not take some united action to prevent the removal of United States troops from the territory?
 The answer to our petition for state hood is a refusal by congress and this blightine order from the secretary of war. JUSTICE.
