HER INDIAN LovEn WAS FALSE,
Snd sequel to II Marriage Which
Created "a Sensation.

Created "a Sensation.
HURON, S. D., May S.-(Special.)-A let
ter recently received by DR.. Cannon of Huron
from his mother, Mrs. p. w. Cannon of Car
thage, Mo-, gives an interesting account of
the present life of Mrs. Samuel Campbell,
once known all over the country as Cora
Belle Fellows, the wife CT Chaska, the IA
nous Sioux Indian, whom she married while
a teacher on the reservation near Pierre,
S. D.
Miss Fellows was a former leader in So
ciety at Washington, D. c., where her fam
lily lived, was highly educated and con-
nected, and her marriage created the sensa-
t!on Of the day. Her family at first refused
to believe the young lady capable Of such
folly, and threatened criminal proceedings
against the correspondent who first sent out
the story Of the affair. Her father even
made a trip to Pierre to look up evidence
in the case. He arrived too late to prevent
the marriage, however, and prudently dropped
the proposed litigation.
Chaska was said by all who knew him to
be a VIGOROUSLY worthless redskin, but his
marriage to Miss Fellows proved the making
OF him financially, for the time at least.
The couple exhibited for a time at dime
museums all over the country and accumu-
lated a considerable fortune. On their last
visit to South Dakota they wore fine clothes,
handsome jewelry, and lived Oh the best of
everything. All these, together with the
money, nave now disappeared, ana, deserted
by her Indian husband, who left her for a
sweetheart Of his own race, the former belle
of Washington society, now lives near Car
thage, Mo-, quite destitute and with four
children dependent upon her for support.
In her letter Mrs. Cannon says: "a few
days eince my attention was called to a
widow in destitute circumstances. filled
a basket with bread. meat, coffee, sugar,
cookies, etc, and father took a small
sack Of apples, and we two went to see her.
She was indeed destitute. not only of food,
but of clothing and furniture. The woman
was areworn and sickly looking. / soon dis
covered that she was educated and refined,
having evidently seen better days. During
our conversation three children came running
into the room-two boys and one girl. The
Oldest, a boy, was about 7, and showed
very plainly the Indian blood in his veins.
In the girl and younger boy the Indian WAC
less marked, but still quite noticeable. Then
the mother told me that she was once a
teacher at the Rosebud and Santee agencies,
that she was formerly a resident of Wash
ington and had married against the wishes
Of her people, | atterward learned that her
husband deserted her to marry a squaw.

fidence of men and women the world over.
1t Is exclusively employed in families where
nothing short of the best Of everything per-
tairing to health will do.
1t has lived up to the most sanguine ex-
peCtations OF physicians, who naturally look
for extraordinary results from the discovery
Of so eminent a physician as Prof. Edward 10.
Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D., of medical
school.
That Paine's celery compound does cure
positively and permanently all diseases aris-
ing from impure blood or decline in the
vtgor of the nerves is cheerfully attested by
thousands of earnest men and women.
Weakness, depression, irritability, pain and
languor tell that the nervous matter in the
brain, nerves and spinal cord is not getting
sufficient nourishment.
To quickly furnish a fresh and abundant
supply of nutriment for every tissue of the
body is the purpose for which Paines celery
compound was first prepared. This rapid
production Of fresh nervous energy and pure
blood was the aim of Prof. Edward e.
Phelps long study of the causes of nervous
exhaustion.
The result Of his life work was Paine's cell
cry compound-this remarkable remedy that
permanently cures diseases of the liver, kid
neys and stomach. 1t is the greatest nerve
regulator and blood purifier Of this century.

No one has a deeper insight into natures
ways than the superintendent Of the extern

Washington.
No one knows so well as he what precious
opportunities come with the spring.
Supt Smith, like most scientific persons,
firmly believes that every one would be bene-
fitted by taking a spring remedy while the
blood is readiest to be purified and invigor-

Paine's celery compound is the only genu-
inc spring remedy worthy of that name, in
the opinion of Supt. Smith. He writes:

House igh AEains the Old Plan
Goes for nu.ht.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The senate COM
mittee on appropriations today concluded its
consideration of the bill making appropria-
tions for the District of Columbia. The
most important change in the bill was that
restoring the old system Of making appro-
p~riations for the charities of the district and
striking out the lump appropriation as made
by the house. The action of the senate
committee is in accord with that first taken
by the house committee on appropriations,
which caused the bill after 1t was
about completed in the house to be
recommitted. When 1t was again reported
1t was with a provision placing all the appro-
p~riations for charity of the district in the
hands Of the commissioners, in which form
it passed. The action of the house was
based upon the theory that the charitable in
bill as agreed upon will recommend that the
same appropriation be made for the various
institutions that were made last year.
The committee made a proviso that mo
part Of the money appropriated for charities
shall be paid for the purpose Of maintaining
or aiding by payment for services or expenses
or otherwise, any church or religious denomi-
nation" The committee also recommended
the appointment of a joint committee COM
posed of three representatives to investigate
the district charity institutions, IL any, Of
money appropriations for them, to the sup
port Of church and religious denominations
The bill as reported to the car
ries an aggregate appropriation of $6,961,-

ton as the bill passed the house Of $1,542,-

ron cLnnK HIRE DURING RECESS.
Members Of the House Allow Them
selves 500 u Month.

WASHINGTON, May s.-The members OF
the house today voted themselves $500 per
month for clerk hire during the recess Of
congress. Under a resolution passed by the
Fifty-second congress the members OF sub
sequent congresses received 800 per month
for clerk hire during the sessions. Today the
proposition to extend this allowance TO mem
bers during the recess Of congress came in
the form OF the Hartman resolution, ad-
versely reported from the on &C
counts, 10 occasioned some very sharp de-
bate. 1t had the support OF Mr.. cannon, the
chairman of the appropriations committee,
but was opposed by Mr.. Dingley, the hoor
leader Of the majority. Mr.. Aldrich, re-
publican OF Illinois. said 1t would involve an
additional expenditure Of S2l6,OOO per an
mum. The resolution was advocated by Mr..
Cannon. Mr.. Morse, republican OF Massa-
cbusetts. Mr.. Hepburn, republican OF Iowa;
Mr.. Boutelle, republican of Maine; and Mr..
Henderson, republican Of Iowa, and opposed
nv Mr., Dockery, democrat Of Missouri; Pit
ney, republican Of New Jersey; Mr.. Tracey,
republican of Missouri; Mr.. Wheeler, dem
ocrat of Alabama, Mr.. Skinner, republican of
North C%arllona; and Mr.. Talbert, democrat
OF South Carolina. The resolution was
amended so as to except members who are
chairman Of committees having annual clerks,
and, as amended, was posed, 1870 to los. An
analysis of tho vote shows that ia republi-
ihllo, hlNtti INV 1 uhN O"S
voted for 1t; and ffty-three republicans, fifty
eight democrats and one populist voted
against 1t.
The pension bills favorab'y acted upon at
last Friday nights session, were taken up
and passed. t 4:30 p. m. the house took a
recess until s o'clock, the evening session to
be devoted to the consideration Of private
pension bills.
Twenty-Five private pension bills were
favorably acted upon at the night session of
the house. Among them were bills to pen
sion the widow Of the late Major General
Thomas Ewing, at the rate of $40 per month,
the widow of the late Major Theodore Greig
at the rate of $50 per month, and the widow
of the late Major General Joseph Carr at
the rate of SIS per mcnth. An attempt was
made to cut Town the rate of pension of
Mrs. Ewing, but 1t was defeated. Mr..
Pickler, chairman OF the committee on pen
sicns, stole a march on the opponents of
pension legislation, just before 1890, the
hour fxe1 for adjournment, by having the
seventy-two bills favorably acted on in com
mlttee of the whole last Wednesday, formally
reported to the house. Those bills were left
suspended last Wednesday. Mr.. Erdman
democrat of Pennsylvania, protested against
the action tonight, and the question Will
probably come up on Monday.

ARMOUR, S. D., May S.-(Special.)-At-
torneys Wanzer and Lindsay returned from
Lyndall, Wednesday, where they went to
argue motions before Judge Smith, relative
to the artesian we'll tax case. This county,
under the law of 1898, voted bonds to put
down four artesian wells. The law provides
that interested parties living along the water
course should pay three-fourths of the tax
and the county the balance. The wells
failed to furnish water enough to fill the
creeks, and the farmers have brought suit
against the county to keep from paying the
tax.
The county commissioners at their recent
meeting, decided that there were not enough
cases on the calendar to warrant the eX-
pense of a term OF court, and signed a petit
ton directed to Judge Smith, asking that
the May term be adjourned until fall. The
judge granted the petition and the May
term will go over.

WASHINGTON, May s.-(Speclal Tele-

against all importunings on the part Of the

exposition bill. While he has not gone
80 far as 10 say he viii not allow the
bill to come to a vote. his manner gives

do with the speaker is wholly in the future.
a new presentation Of the case might win
over the speaker. ANY influence favorable

/One thing is certain. everything is at sea,
and the only hope for the bill is in a pro-
tracted session Of congress, when the dele
cation may get 1t up or get consent of the
speaker to advance it on the calendar.
A decidedly foxy movement of sound
money republicans has Just come to light
IN relation to states where the white metal
has the call. 1t was the intention Of the
republicans to select alternates in Colorado,
Utah, Idaho and Montana favorable to sound
money in the event the leaders in these
states should bolt at st. Louis then the al
~ternates were to take their places and pro-
coed to carry out the wishes of the people
as they regard them. 1t was a very shrewd
game, but the silver republicans discovered
the ruse today and advlces have been sent
out to look well to alternates, that only true

Senator Allen today secured the passage

Sioux City & Omaha railroad through the

county. This is the scheme In whteh Stod-

part of the great north and south road.
BY d.nt of hard work the Nebraska SEN
ators succeeded in raising the appropriation
from $40, 900 to $50, 900 for improvements

The important feature of this amendment

John II. Webster Gives the First of

John r. Webster gave the first Of a series
of four talks on bible subjects to the mem-
bers of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton last evening. He took as the subject
of his address what it is to Believe in
Christ" Mr.. Webster first stated the rea-
sons why he was a firm believer in the
Christian doctrine. During the early part
of the Christian era and previous to the
coming OF Christ there was formed by the
anc!ents many societies to solve the rea-
sons Cor mans existence, the proper mode
of living and his ultimate destiny. These,
the speaker cOntended, had all proved fail
ures. The ideas of the learned men of those
days lad given rise to the sects known as
the stOics, the cynics, s~kept,cs, eptcuriaas
and academicians, with Plato as the head Of
the last named and greatest society. They
rad all Called to accomplish the ends for
which they were designed. The true solu-
ton Of a perfect life had never been gwen
to the world until the advent OF Christ.
Apprent.ced to a carpenter until 30 years
of age, he had accomplished in three years
time, up to the date of his death, more than
all the great characters Of history COM
bined. His teachings had stood the test
C centuries. The speaker concluded by
giving a short sketch Of the manifold beau
ties developed in the Sayior's character. his
cruciGXion and the lessons to be derived
from his life of self-sacrifce and hardships.
