A WIPE HUNTER
Gets Stack Of Letters From Willing
~ Young Ladies'.

NEW York, July 9.-There is q
stack Of letters at THE Marriage
Bureau iii Che city hall for Grin H.
Holt the young Canadian farmer,
who has come to New York look
ing for d wife.
Mr.. Holt yesterday announced
that he had come All the way from
Ontario to get good looking and
healthy New York girl, who has
S3, 700 or $4,000 in addition to
other qualifications he thinks the
wife Of b well-to-do, good-looking
farmer should have. He
bars widows.
The clerks in the Marriage Bu-
reau told him they would help him
out, and the newspaper reporters
volunteered to assist by telling
some Of the very MANY girls they
know, who have $1,000 and want
to get married, that Mr.. Holt is in
town. They did SO, and when Mr..
Holt tried to 60 to sleep last night
in house ON West Eighteenth st.,
where he is stopping, band Of
girls called TO see him. He didn't
get much sleep.
Holt promised To call at the city
hall today and look over any girls
who filled the bill. Only two
showed up. One was blonde Of
"a, but she wouldn't suit Mr.. Holt.
She said she had been on the stage,
and wanted to know how much
money Mr.. holt Ind.

Niagara Fails Has Already Been Partly

Niagra represents a potential

has been running to waste for
countless ages and cons since the,
cataract first blew its trumpet

most eminent among them says it

just been set in motion equal TO
the transmission Of 5000 horse

existing charters something like

RESERVATIONS TO BE OPENED.
Secretary Smith Forced to Act in the
Nez PerCos Case. 7 *.s-@


WASHINGTON, D. c., July S.
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, spent
some time with Secretary Smith
today insisting that the Nez Perces
reservation be open to settlement.
The last congress approved an
agreement with the Indians lead
ing up to the opening to settle
ment of that reservation, which
will throw open oyer 100000 acres
Of the best land in northern Idaho.
There are many thousands of
would-be settlers located on the
border, who expect the opening
daily. 1t is provided that the In
dians be paid $1,60O,O0O for their
land, the 100000 to DO paid when
the country is opened to settlement
and the remaining 100000 in
three equal annual statements.
Secretary Smith admits having
delayed the opening as much as
possible, his plan being to keep
the money in the treasury. For
this reason the settlers were delay
ed, and now it happens that the
Secretary has been informed that
unless he complies with the plain
meaning of the law, legal steps
will be taken to force his cOmpli-
ance. This would be novel pro-
cedure and one that the Secretary
would not enjoy, as it seems, for
he made the promise today that
the reservation should be open to
settlement by the 1st of August.
For some time everything has been
in readiness to open the reservd-
ton, but, owing to the administra-
toms plan to make as good a finan-
cial showing in the last fiscal year
as possible, the final departmental
action has been delayed. 1t is
now assured that the reservation
will be opened to settlement with
in the next three weeks.
The Idaho senators are plso
pressing for departmental action
in the Fort Hall tangle. The
agreement with the Indians lead
ing up to opening that reservation
of 100000 acres to settlement
was approved by the last congress,
but so far the Secretary of the In
terror has delayed allotments aud
all departmental work. 1t is ex-
poctod, however, to have this res
ervation opened to settlement by
the 1st of October next.

A WOMAN OF NERVE.
Mad Dog Captured and ChlorOlormed By
Miss West, of Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 8.-A
young woman made a clever cap
ture of a mad dog here yesterday
afternoon. She is Miss Roberta
West, the pretty matron of the
Emergency Hospital. The dog, a
full grown fox terrier, had run in
to the hospital yard, and was rush.
ing hither and thither to find his
way out again. The black janitor
ran for him with broom, but on
seeing his foam-fecked mouth fed
into the hospital. Miss West was
at the window watching the Sun
day-school children pass on the
walk just beyond the fence through
which the mad dog was trying to
break. Spying the dog, she turned
and grabbed a sheet from a bed
and ran into the yard. The dog
saw her and rushed for her. She
took hold Of the two upper ends
of the sheet and let the lower end
fall to the ground just before the
dog had reached her. Then steps
ping quickly back as the dogs feet
touched the sheet, she lowered her
end, bent it over the dog, grabbed
the lower ends, and then stright-
ening up, had the struggling
terrier like a rat in a trap. Amid
the applause of those who saw her
skillful act, she carried he prisoner
to the operating room, sprinkled
chloroform On the sheet and be-
fore long the dog was dead.

LIKE AN ANIMAL.
An Indiana Man Who Thinks God Com.
manded Him to Live in SecIusion.

PETERSBURG, IND, July 10.-A
hermit dwells in the Patoka bot
toms, near the railroad station
called Heyden, a few miles below
this place. He lives all alone and
disregards the advantages of civil
ization. With no one to comfort
him, with nothing with which to
enjoy the comforts of life he
whites away his time in the will
derness of the lonely woods. Some
time ago a number of pleasure
seekers went 70 Heyden to enjoy a
days fishing, and as some Of the
gentlemen of the party were maxi
ing their way through d dense
growth Of underbrush near the
river they made the startling dis
covery of a Withholding man "
ing ON the ground. His very IN
adequate shelter consists only Of
a few boards placed on four posts,
about five or six feet in hight.
There was no siding 81 anything
which would keep out the winters
SHOWS or summers rains, and the
only furniture which ii contained
was 4 small stove, d skillet and
two pieces of old dirty carpet.
When questioned by one Of the
men lie said his name was Bill
Cox, and that he was born and
raised in Gibson county, Indiana.
He was horrible looking Great
ure, with long hair all over his
face, and apparently about As years
of age.
His complexion was dark and
swarthy, and showed that it had
been Drowned by the blasts of win

looked like the hoofs OF some wild
nnimai, and his finger-nails, were

Ity, and has never been married
Following is the story ne told of
himself to one of tile party: He
said that d few years ago he moy-
cd III Kansas with some Of his re.
lations with the expectation Of
making that hisfuturehome.
They had been installed III their
new home but a short time. when
one by one the family began to
die, until none were left but him.
Upon awakening one morning, lie
says, he heard some mysterious
voice whispering in his ear. 1t
told him his life was in great dam
ger, and for him to leave the state
at once. The next day he left
Kansas and wandered East until
he found this secluded spot in the
Pntoka bottoms, where he has
dwelt ever since subsisting on roots,
herbs, berries, insects, etc. He
said, in conclusion he thought his
hermit way of living was q pun
ishment sent upon him in atone
ment for some sin he has commit
ted, yet he says he cannot change
his course, as God commands it,
and he must obey these commands.
He has no education at all, and
cares nothing for civilization or
society, his highest ambition being
tt obtain enough food to live on,
and to be left alone to enjoy the
quiet and solitude of his lonely
