tain Lee said: Il want every young
Indian to be beeducated, but the knowl-

commercial value. The Indian who
can correctly state the boundaries OF

:. sweet Potato Diet.

There is "a negro in Georgia who
has eaten nothing hUt sweet potatoes
for 10 years. SAID r. L. Morcton at
the Burner. 1t arose in a wager, or
rather an offer, from white man
that If sam would eat nothing but
sweet pota,oes for a month he would
be presented with -. 1t was sup
posed that, like quail, it would soon
pail upon his taste 10 such an extent
that he could not swallow them. but
it didn't. Sam finished up the month
and got his money. Then. having
formed a great love for sweet pota
toes and finding that ne saved money
by confining himself to them, he has
eaten nothing else since that time
He is hearty and healthy, eats three
meals a day Of his vegetables and
works hard. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Eleven Killed.

LINCOLN. Neb., Aug l3.-The remains
of eleven bodies of persons who perished
in the terrible wreck on the Rock Island
were identified today. and there is little
reason To believe that any more perished.
The report that A. B. Eddie and NJ Bea
ysr were among the victims has proved
false. The colored ex-convict. George
Washington Davis. who was arrested
last night on suspicion Of having caused
the wreck. neither denies nor confirms
the charge He holds a bad record
around these parts and suspicion points
very strongly towards him. Should it
prove true tina; he is guilty it would not
be surprising il the law were relieved
from passing upon his punishment, as
feeling is very high here. At the cor
oner's inquest this afternoon the investi-
cation was il anything favorable to the
accused. The investigation will last
several days yet.
