Oklahoma City Times-Journal: gen.
! tleman who has made his home in the
Usage nation for some months has recent
| ~ furnished us interesting information
concerning the decadence OF that once
powerful Indian tribe. The majority OF
the tribe are full-bloods, but they will b.
the minority in a very few years. The
number OF mixed bloods is growing larger
| while the death rate among the pure In
dians of the tribe is much in excess of
/ the birth rate. The tribe numbers 100;
and possesses eight million dollars in
money and 1000 acres of land for each
| individual member OF the tribe Zach

Accidental Death.

The coroner's jury in the case of Johl
Swenson, whose dead body was found
near the door of his residence at Clifton
"a few days ago, yesterday returned q
verdict of accidental death" The YER
dict is considered singular one.
inasmuch as all the circumstances seemed
to indicate that Swenson had beer
murdered. The facts that the guh
with which the killing was done wds
found several feet away from where the
body lay; the forcing open of the dooi
of Swenson's house, and the testimony
of DIR. Fulton that the dead mans coat
could not have been powder burned to
such an extent unless the weapon, when
discharged, was at least two feet distant.
are, in the opinion of many Astorians
difficult to reconcile with the idea Of
accidental death.''

enjoyable evening was passed by sur

At the water commissioners meeting
yesterday it was decided to shut off the
water where the rent for the previous
month has not been paid, and in cases
where more than one months rent was
due, to allow the delinquent sixty days
time to pay before shutting off the
supply.

handsomely decorated with ladies' dress

many passers-by.
It is at this season the continued rain
would result in material injury to the
grain crops. Wheat has been threshed
and lis lying in the sack unprotected in
the fields. Any continued rain must
necessarily do incalculable damage. In
the fall of 1898 the fall rains commenced
about the 26th of August, and continued
for eight days. In some wheatgrowine
sections of Eastern Oregon and Eastern
Washington, the farmers being unpre
pared, the damage was widespread.

A SINGLE PURPOSE.
The Earnest and interchangeable Work
OF Mitchell and Fisk.

A committee, composed of Messrs. N.
Whealdon, Emile Schanno and B. F.
Laughlin were delegated by The Dailes
Commercial Club to visit Senator Nit
chell and Capt. Fisk at Portland with
view to ascertaining the complete status
of the locks improvement, both present
and prospective. The committee per-
formed this mission yesterday and re-
turn much gratifed, as much by the
courteous treatment they received as to
ascertain that both the senator and the
engineer are as much in earnest over the
speedy and triumphant conclusion of
this great water way to the needs of
commerce as any citizen in the land. =
The committee first called upon Sena-
tor Mitchell, when all went to Mr..
Fisk's Office. Then they learned the
good news that November 18th (on or
before) has been set as the final date for
the completion of the locks, involving
the finishing touches to the new con-
tract, found necessary to complete the
middle lock by the ravages of the high
water of 1894. They found that to con-
summate this very event Senator Nit
chell had stayed in Washington six
weeks longer than he Designed, SO as to
follow up the circumlocution of the con-
tract being transferred from the halls of
congress to the war department, thence
to the government engineers at Wash
ington. Mr.. Mitchell so brought to
bear all of his vast energy and influence.
haf aid 6x, of
Mr.. Fisk, the engineer department had
let the final contract without going
through the ordinary channels of adver-
tising, which would have delayed the
completion of the work another year.
The Days have accepted this last-named
contract and have obliged themselves to
complete the work by November 18th.
Nothing can be imagined that will delay
the work longer than this date.
The committee find it difficult to prop
erly express their pleasure as to the at
titude of the gentlemen they went to
confer with. They found them to be
possessed of determination that could
not obtain but upon a fixed and long
continued purpose, and that determine
ton would not be satisfied ehort of see
ing the end of this long-drawn-out pro-
ject. Contemplating the impertinences,
the unjust accusations and ever ready
suspicious that have sought our congress
man as target for many years past, the
committee silently but unanimously
agreed that if possible at this late day
they should be set right before the peo-
pie of the commonwealth. Nothing can
exceed the interest and activity displayed
by Senator Mitchell to complete the
locks, and he has an efficient and will.

A WOMAN TO YOUNG MEN.

Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest wo-
man in America, is renowned for
her ability both to acquire and to
keep money. She has consented to
give, through the New York World,
to young men who want to become
rich few ideas on making money.
Hele is what she advises.
Industry, determination and
principle are essential to the young
man who wants to become success
ful in business. He must be willing
to get up early and go to bed late.
He must not waste time in thinking
how much work he is doing, but
must keep his mind on the end he
has in vew.
Then | should advise him not to
lie awake nights thinking how he
may shirk or how he may cheat
somebody, for he cannot get along
without honesty. He should keep
his strength by sleeping well and
eating regularly, and little social
recreation will not unfit him for
his work. Society and business
do not exclude each other, and q
man may be all the better member
of society for his business training.
"There are two kinds of young
men, however, who are different as
darkness and sunlight. One intends
to take care of his money and the
other intends to let his money take
care of him.
"a college education is absolute
ly useless for young man who is
going directly into buiseness. Il
he thinks Of making money by
being q doctor or q lawyer college
Will do very well, but outside o.
the professions a boy ought tc
begin work as early in life a'
possible.
sd Determination and good sense
will be of more use to him thar
books"

Representatives from each end of
the Matthews school district were
before the Board last Saturday
asking that the district be divided.
This district has been in bad shape
for more than a year. 1t is about
5 miles long and the people got into
a dispute over the location of a
schoo. house, which has never been
settled. Several suits have been
brought, one of which was in court
up to last Saturday when it was
withdrawn. The people down
there finally concluded that the
only sure settlement ofthe difficulty
was to divide the district which was
done by the Board. The new
district is called Garter, No. 25.
We hope the "school row of
Matthewsville" will never be called
up again but that each person there
will work for the advancement of
tho schools.

TIE military seems determined
to capture or kill the renegade
Apache Indians. Last week a
detachment located fresh trail in
Mexico and followed it until they
came upon the camp, which con-
sisted of four or five bucks, three
or four squaws and boy about 8
years of age. The Indian scouts
were sent ahead and as usual,
when near enough gave the alarm,
and the renegades made for the
rocks. The boy was not as good
q sprinter as the balance and was
captured, together with the camp
outfit and several head of horses.
If tho scouts had been kept in the
rear after the camp was discovered
every Indian would have either
been killed or captured. The boy
who was taken prisoner, has given
the officers in command, some
valuable information in regard to
theIocation Of the balance Of the
outlaws. He has given the ex
act location of their headquarters,
and the officers are now confident
that they will be able to capture
or destroy all the renegadcs in a
short time. This is welcome news
to the people of Arizona, who are
very thankful to the military
authorities for the vigorous man
ner in which they are conducting
the present campaign.
