APACHES AS SCOUTS.
Nearly the Whole Trib5 Is in the
Government Service.
Although Trained In the Manual of Arms
They Fight in Their Own Savage
Way When an Occasion
Arises.

The Apache reservation In the east
ern part of Arizona contains the first
successful showing of disciplined In
dams employed as body of fighting
men by the United States government,
the White Mountain Apache scouts.
The United States has called mo
requisition the services of some 800
trained Indians, who have within the
last five years proven invaluable i'll
subduing uprisings III different Indian
reservations. At various times the gov
eminent has employed special Indian
police, and individual Indians have
served in the army on important scout
ing duty, but the utilization of the good
part of a whole tribe. trained to modern
arms and tactics, is u comparatively
new departure. Aside from the Apaches,
the only other instance on record is
that of two companies of Sioux indians
attached to the United States army post
at Salt Lake City, u. L.
The Apaches are one of the most bar
barous and warlike Indian tribes in
North America, and until recently have
civilization. They are related to the
great Shoshone or Pacific coast Indians,
d branch whose treachery and cruelty
are additionally famous among all
western Indians. The Apaches are at
present divided into the White Noun
tain Apaches and the Mesculeros. The
latter tribe, now headed by the treach-
crous old San Juan, was formerly "a
band of desperadoes, led by the well
known Geronimo and the Apache kid"
The Apaches are a naturally vicious
people, and, while they are capable Of
receiving a moderate degree of educa-
tion, are totally unfit afterward for any
other pursuit than wandering over the
plains in armed bands. Even under q
thorough military education they are
unable to fight other than in their own
methods of warfare. They learn the
manual of arms and field maneuvers
without any difficulty and are drilled to
fire by platoons, but when it comes TO
the actual fighting they can operate to
greater advantage if left to their own
devices and inherent trickery.
The usual dress is a native woven
cotton cloth shirt and turban to match,

STATE TEMPERANCE UNION AN
INDUCEMENTS.

The annual convention of the Union
will be held in Topeka, March Sd and
4th. One and one-third rates on the
certificate plan have been granted by
all the main liues of railroad. Let all
temperance organizations, churches,
young peoples societies and Sabbath
schools send large delegations.
1t is hoped that pastors throughout
the state will bear in mind that the
fourth Sabbath of the present month
has been set apart by the executive
committee to be observed by the
churches as temperance day. Ad-
dresses on temperance and the necess-
ity of the more rigid enforcement of
the law should be made before every
congregation
Furthermore, the Union desires to
call the attention of all interested in
the passage of Senator Peffer's bill
Senate Bill $780, the object of which
is to prohibit the issuance of govern
ment permits to parties unauthorized
by the state law to sell liquor, to the
necessity of Immediately circulating
petitions to that effect directed to the
senate, and of writing personal letters
to their representatives in congress "a
similar bill is pending in the lower
house, urging them to use all their in
fluence for the passage of such a bill
in either or both houses. An enact
ment of this kind would aid greatly
in the enforcement OfOur present law.

GOLD AT CRIPPLE CREEK
The Rest Way To Get There is Over The
Santa Fe Route

The fabulously rich gold mining
district of Cripple Creek, Colorado, is
attracting hundreds of people. By
spring the rush bids fair to be enOr-
nous. That there is an abundance OF
gold there is demonstrated beyond
doubt. Fortunes are being rapidly
made.
To reach Cripple Creek, take the
Santa Fe Route, the only standard
gauge line direct 70 the camp.
Through Pullman sleepers and chair
cars. The Santa Fe lands you right
in the heart of Cripple Creek.

CANDIDATE OF THE DEMOCRATS
Where the Only Sign of Life Is to Be
Found.

Where the Only Sign of Life is to Be
Found.
One might suppose from the promi-
hence being given to republican candi-
dates for the presidency, and the si-
lence about democratic candidates, that
the party now in power had about de-
cided to let the election 60 by default.
Of all the candidates, talked of early in
the administration, when it looked as
if the ins would stay indefinitely, not
one remains. They are all in their
graves, and not squeak is heard from
any walking ghost. The booms of Hill,
German and all the rest have collapsed
like toy balloon with pinhole. The
third-term foolishness no longer occu-
pies a seat in the tally-ho.
Our Morrison did say some weeks ago
that he would like the nomination if he
knew he was to be beaten, or words to
that effect, but the democrats of Illinois
have shown no disposition to act upon
his hint. Not finger has been lifted in
his behalf. so far as can be seen. Illinois
never did take kindly to empty honors
and funerals. What would it profit to
gain a nomination and lose an election?
a mere personal compliment TO an old
time Office holder would not pay the shot
of booming the cannon. Besides, there
would be something humiliating in the
spectacle of great state taking up a
man now simply holding down a fat
job, instead of occupying an important
position. and presenting him as can
didate for the highest Office in the gift
of any people. If the party in this state
had any one man of whom all wereproud
they might rally around him. AS it is,
Illinois is Indifferent.
The only sign of life in the democratic
party, so far as concerns the presidency,
is found in Indiana. 1t would seem
that Gov. Matthews would like the NOM
ination. and a real movement is on foot,
apparently, to promote his candidacy.
The governor has his henchmen all
over the state, but apart from that he
has a good deal of popularity. 1t IS
his good fortune to have Gov. Alt
geld as a kind of background, and he
shows off to the most excellent adj
vantage. He is not a crank, and it is
possible for him to open his mouth
without making it a depository for
his foot. If he could wholly dissoci-
ate himself and his administration from
Cleveland and the late congress, the
conference called in his interest would
probably be an enthusiastic love feast.
But il viii be found hard task TO sup
press either the friends or the enemies
of the national administration. The
boat may be launched only to strike a
snag. Gov. Matthews may be ever so
discreet personally, but the factIonal
feeling in the party is so very ugly that
his political aspirations may be ship
wrecked before the sails are fairly set
or full head of steam is on.-Chicago
