COUNT OF the forgeF's Famtfy.
PASADENA. CAL. Feb. % --R. G. Dun.
president of the mercantile agency asso-
citation, is stopping at the Raymond hotel.
To an Associated Press correspondent he
said that he had nothing additional to add
10 the press report sent out from New York
about the arrest of Erastns Wiman for
forgery. Dun says that Wiman's pecula-
tons were known before he ceased his con-
nection with the association, and they
we're the cause of his leaving. Action
against him was delayed on account Of
his family. Dun says action was not
brought against Wiman at this time be-
cause of his disclosing commercial agency
secrets. He never accused Wiman of writ
Ing the circular, bat thinks Wiman made
valuable suggestions to the person who did
write 1t. Dun says all the charges made
against Wiman will be fully substantiated
when the case comes to trial.

Whatever may have been Gov. McGraw' 5
motives in removing McReayy from the
capitol commission. no one can say that
John McGraw Is not the governor. or is
lacking in any sense that backbone and
force of character which should distin-
guish a man in such position. No man
ever feared his enemies less than JOIN
McGraw. We believe that the governor
has done what he thought best for the in
terests of the state. and we admire the de-

characterizes his every action.

NOT ALL ATHLETES DIE YOUNG
The Notion That Excessive Exertion Brings
an Untimely Grave Is Mistake.

The Notion That Excessive Exertion Brings
an Untimely Grave Is a Mistake.
at is a mistaken idea people have
that athletes die young" said DR..
George Bailey. of Philadelphia. 1T is
high time that the conventional opinion
OF certain medical men and of some ed
ucators on the subject should be set
aside, and that all the many sports
should be encouraged and fostered in
order 20 promote physical development
Athletes, as a class, are not short lived.
On the contrary, many who have led
sober and regular lives have attained
extreme old age.
1T Is hardly necessary 20 refer to
history to establish this fact. but as an
illustration, did not Socrates, who at
the age Of sixty, an age when officers
of the army and navy are retired, serve
as hoplite in the Peloponnesian war?
Though covered with heavy armor. he
took upon his shoulders wounded
man, whom he carried into camp while
being pursued by the enemy. We have
numerous instances of athletes who
have not become stale. Many persons
have heard of old Gabe Ravel, who, at
the advanced age of seventy. turned
back somersault.
'Circus men are not only healthy,
but are long lived. The celebrated
London clown, Joe Wallet, who has
reached seventy-five years, Is as lively
and active as he was forty years pre-
vious.
"A few years since the porting
papers recorded the death OF Owen
Swift, whose extraordinary career as n
prize fighter may be seen In the musty
old flcs of fifty years ago. Some time
since the death of Bendigo. who passed
from the prize ring 10 the pulpit, was
reported at sixty-eight years, and dur
ing the last five years two other noted
pugilists have died at a ripe old age
"a few years since, In London, was
walking in the street with the secre-
tary OF one Of the sporting clubs Of
that city, who was talking b me OF
this very matter, when We Game across
a very Old man, whom he pointed out
as a corroborative instance Of what he
was telling me. This man, in days
gone by, had been an athlete OF the
most violent kind, a man who misused
athletics by such feats as walking n
thousand miles in a thousand hours
and other like senseless performances
! agree with you that athletic exercise,
like anything else, can be abused, but
when used in the proper way il helps
in a marked degree 10 sustain health
and life. Washington Star

THE change from living on the

much for the nerve of the windbag

Drunken stupidity and maudlin in

more intelligent men than he have

among the first TO shout for the vic

are seeking to keep this country in
its present anomalous condition in

in this instance as in all others is

THERE seems to be a great
diversity ofreports in the press of
the country as 20 Che number of
bullet holes found in the body Of
Deputy Marshal Nix, who was
killed last week at Wan. The first
printed accounts show that there
were So well developed apertures
in the unfortunate mans anatomy.
but later reports have cut the whole
number down to only 56. But
waving the question as to the num-
Der of holes, it is safe to say that
the man was killed.

The Indian appropriation bill for
the year 1894 was 81 1884. .240 and
for 1896 it is 80 1888, $50, percep-
tible increase. 1t is explained how
ever, that the increase is caused by
payments for lands and that items
for actual maintenance ofthe In
dians are somewhat less than last
year. II is suggested that they
should be, and furthermore, that
the general Indian appropriation
bill should diminish with each sue
cessive year. In connection with
Indian affairs it has been said for
long while that the Indian is
fading away before the encroaching
white man like the night before the
rising sun, but an appropriation Of
Z millions one year and 8 millions
the next would denote that the fad
ing process does not relieve in the
least the demand on the national
treasury, but on the other hand the
fewer Indians there are the more
they cost. The truth is that a great
deal of this Indian money goes to
white people. 1t requires a large
number of whites to superintend,
inspect, watch and instruct Indians
aud then there are always damages
to pay. While an Indian remains
in any way ward of the govern.
ment with his own expenses must
be paid those of several white per-
sons; meanwhile many millions
must be expended in making the
Indians "self-supporting" There
seems to be no promise of any
change in this for the present. 1t
is quite probable that the Indian
appropriation bill for 1896 will be
larger than that for 1895, and fur
thermore, when the last full blood
ed Indian shall have disappeared
from the face of the United States
there will still be "claims" pend.
ing, due his heirs, ,inheritors and as
signs. Kansas City Star.
