not determine the cause, or prescribe Q
remedy to aid the afflicted child.
But what change now in that household;
for little Fannie has recently been released
from her six years of agony, which brings the
light of happiness to the faces Of the parents.
In January, this year, Mrs. Adams, who
had purchased some of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People for her fourteen year
old daughter, determined to try their effect
upon little Fannie. After three or four
doses, she noted an improvement and she
then told the father what she had done.
He at once went to the village and bought
another box, and up to this time six boxes
have been used. The first pills, Mrs. Adams
states, were given in January, the latter part,
and certainly not earlier than the fifteenth
or twentieth, and the child had her last con-
vulsion on February Sd, nearly three months
ago. Her general condition has improved in
every way, and it was not Q month after the
first pills were taken when she began to walk
without assistance.
The pills were bought at the drug store
of DIR. Shelton, in Umatilla. In answer to
the question, did he, to his personal knowl-
edge, know that the remedy had benefited
Fannie Adams, as was stated by her parents,
the doctor said that he was regular practicing
physician, and as such was 10th to recon-
mend any proprietary medicine, but still he
was ready to dojustice to all men, and he did
know that DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People had benefited Fannie Adams, and also
volunteered the information that he knew OF
other children in the village who had been
benefited by their use.

NIAGARA FALLS OF WINE.

California Planning q Unique Feo-
ture for the Omaha ExpOsittOn.
The indications are favorable for an
exhibit by the California winemakers
which will form an interesting and at
tractive feature of the exposition at
Omaha, Neb. It will take the form OF
a reproduction of Niagara falls, the
water being represented by the natural
juice Of the grape and the rocks OF the
original being reproducedin glass. The
scheme contemplates large exhibit,
involving the use of 100000 gallons OF
California red wine to represent the
foaming, dashing water.
The precipice over which the wine Is
precipitated will be formed Of glass,
through which electric lights will shed
light intensifying the warm color OF
the wine, and the grottoes and caves
along the banks will also be of glass.
These caves will be large enough to
contain several people and will be elab-
orately decorated with California fauna
and furnished with cool retreats where
in visitors may rest and partake Of the
fruits and wines Of California while

WERE QUEER ANIMALS.
Bones OF Remarkable Creatures
That Existed Before Man.
Rare Specimens Dug Out OF Wye
ming, Nebraska, Colorado and
Texas for a New York

One hundred huge cases that have
just arrived at the Museum of Natural
History, in Central park, New York, are
regarded with more than usual salts
faction by the directors of the museum.
They are the bones of the remarkable
specimens of extinct animals, dug out
of the earth many feet below the sur
face of Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado
and Texas. They are the first consign-
ments of the results Of the summers
work of the numerous expeditions sent
out by the museum In these 100 cases
there is one perfect specimen OF q lying
lizard that was IL feet long. Prof. w.
Matthews said that there were numer-
Gus other sections of lizards, but only
one complete specimen, which was
taken from Kansas soil. It belonged to
a period ages before man was dreamed
of, and few like bat in the night and
fed on fishes. Prof. Matthews, who had
charge of an expedition to Kansas, has
just returned. On his way back he got
into Wyoming with Prof. Wortman's
expedition. When that section returns
to New York early in October, there will
be brought along monster lizard over
so feet long. It is being dug out of
Wyoming rock now. When he left, 80
feet of the creature was in sight, and
it was estimated 20 more remained to
be excavated. Then there is the Miss
ing Link" horse Museums all over the
country have had bones of this
creature enough to build into an intel
hgible skeleton that the public could
understand. Now, the Nebraska ex-
petition has sent back samples of bones
OF the missing link" horse that have
not been discovered heretofore, and
professors at the museum of natural
history will patch animal bones into full
skeletons, and are rejoicing in the belief
that they will get a whole horse to-
gether. When that is done they will be
able to trace the horse from his first
known form to the most modern racer
or miserable plodding car horse.

THE CAMPHOR TREE

Facts Regarding It's Cultivation Fur.
nished by Agricultural Department.
The results of an investigation re-
garding the camphor tree are an
nounced in a bulletin of the agricultural
department. just issued. It says that
for most of the secondary purposes the
camphor tree may well be cultivated
wherever it can be made to live. But.
for the distillation of camphor gum and
oil with a commercial view and for the
production of wood for cabinet pur-
poses, it must be grown under the most.
favorable conditions. Minimum win
ter temperature should not be below
20 degrees Fahrenheit. Soil should be
sandy, well drained and irrigated, un-
less there are abundant rains and
plenty of food, rich in nitrogen, is re-
quired for rapid growth. The con-
sumption of camphor in this country,
as measured by the importations, has
been decreasing during the past ten
years, while the price has been increas-
ing. The bulletin says:
There has been an increase in importa-
tons Of refined camphor, due to improved
methods of refining and packing in Japan,
and to changes in the tariff, but this in
crease has been much more than counter
balanced by the decrease in importation
OF crude camphor. The decrease is due to
number Of causes. AS result there has
been an increase in the price Of camphor
and this in turn has led to the introduction
of substitutes. Menthol and other pep
permint derivations or compounds, car
bolic acid and it's derivatives, naphtha-
lin and insect powder are now used
for various purposes where camphor was
formerly employed. Camphor has been
manufactured artifcially, at a cost 1eav-
ing margin of profit at present prices
It is therefore apparent that if the produc-
ton Of camphor from the trees is to be
carried on with profit in this country and
the industry increased to any considerable
extent, the price of camphor must be re-
duced to compete with the prices of substi-
tutes now taking its place"

PLAN 70 HELP THE INDIANS

Proposition to Rent Their Lands oA
Shares to white Tenants.
Special Agent Mcconnell, Of the In
dian bureau, who recently visited Sis.
seton Indian agency on official business,
proposes to recommend plan to the
interior department by which the sur
plus lands belonging to these Indians
can be rented and placed under a state
of cultivation in way to be Of benefit
to the Indians. His plan is to permit
the lands to be rented for q term OF
years through the government agent or
special attorney delegated with proper
power for reasonable percentage of
the crop grown each year. The renter
would be required to erect fair-sized
houseand barn, proportionate amount
of the cost of the buildings to be de-
Quoted from the Indians share of the
crop each. season, so that at the expira-
ton of the lease the buildings would
be paid for and become the property
of the Indian who owns the particular
tract upon which they are situated.
It is believed that some such plan,
with proper safeguards thrown around
it, would prove beneficial to the In
dams. Their wild lands would be
placed in state Of cultivation and upon
the expiration of the lease they would
have comfortable buildings to move
into to take up the work where the
white tenant had left off. Such a PLAN,
it is also thought, would prove Of great
benefit to the country at large. for,
with long lease, desirable class OF
white farmers could be induced to set
tie on the thousands of acres of Indian
land which would otherwise lie idle,
but which would thus be improved and
made to produce wealth.
Those who are familiar with the
progress of these Indians say that so
far as engaging successfully in agri.
cultural pursuits is concerned the Sis
seton and Wahpeton Indians as whole
are not so far advanced as they were ten
or dozen years ago, and unless some
special inducements are held out to
them there is no immediate prospect OF
their advancement.

Commander Booth-Tucker has re-
turned to America filled with en-
thusiasm over his plan to colombo poor
people on small farms in the west. He
submitted the plan to Gen. Booth, in
London, and it was commended by the
leader Of the salvationists in every de-
tail.
When reporter asked him about the
various criticisms that have been raised,
he said: 81 am prepared to meet every

it not only to Gen. Booth, but to many

try, and to the editors of newspapers
who are familiar with the sections
where the colonies will be established,
and have yet to find one who does not
give hearty approval.
The Salvation Army will undertake
the organization of an association, and
will endeavor to secure sufficient funds
for fair trial, and to secure only such
colonists as are desirable. We need

for in installments.
For several years was an officer of
the British government in India, and I
know the practical results of irrigation.
There can be no question about good
crops each year. We will divide the
land into ten-acre farms. We will build
a cabin or small house on each farm,
have the land ready for cultivation, and
each family that joins the colony will
find work in readiness, and a bank &C
count of 5000 to its credit.
THE colonists will pay for the land
in installments, at the rate of perhaps
one dollar per week. We believe these
colonists will come from largely-pop-
ulated centers nearest the colony"
why not start these colonies nearer
the large cities of the east, rather than
the west?''
I'VE need large section of land; we
must get it as cheap as possible, and
it must be irrigable. We are unable to
find these conditions in the east. We

BLACK ROCKS.
A story of the Early Days of the Com
neIlsviIIe Coal Region.


neIlsviIIe Coal Region.
A writer in Forest and Stream says
that Elias Blank, one of the early set
tiers of what il now the great Councils
willie coal region, in western Pennsylva-
MIA, was among the first Americans to
burn soft coal How the thing came
about is thus described:
One night Mr.. Blank was aroused by
a rapping at his door. Opening it, he
admitted famous Indian fighter, Lewis
Whetzell, and companion, Jonathan
Gates, commonly known as Long
Arms.
Friend Lewis, said Blank, "where
have thee and our friend been and
where boundT
II want to get ont of here at once"
said Whetzell, "and Long Arms is of
the same opinion. This country's be-
witched, and Long Arms and | are
nearly scared to death"
Friend Lewis, thee must not tell
such stories to me-, said old Elias.
"Thee knows | am thy friend, and l
have saved thee whep price was on
thy head. l know thou art man of
courage, and friend Jonathan Gates,
whom some call Long Arms, fears
nothing ON earth, and I'm fearful moth
ing anywhere else, and yet thou tellest
me that he and thee are scared even al
most unto death. Shame on thee so to
declare before thy friend, who loves ye
both as he were thy fatherl"
mo, no, Elias, " said Whetzell, drop
ping into the Quaker speech. II tell
thee no lie We are scared. Yesterday
afternoon we were in hiding about a
mile from Dunkard creek, and in the
evening we built fire under the bank
very carefully, and we got some black
rocks to prop up little kettle and put
them beside the fire rather than in it,
and the black rocks took fire and burned
fiercely, with filthy smoke and a
bright light, and Long Arms said the
devil would come if we staid, and we
grabbed our kettle and poured out the
water and made our way here, leaving
the black rocks to burn. I"
Elias Blank was much interested. He
did not tell Whetzell what the black
rocks were but he found out exactly
where the men had made their fire. and
when they went away he gave them
each new Ezra Engle rife, a knife
and tomahawk, with four pounds of
powder and a supply of lead.
Then he hunted up their camping
ground, found the ''black rocks and
opened coal bank into one of the river
hills, and this coal bank is still in ex-
istence in 10 foot vein of coal that is
absolutely free from slate and burns
like pitch.
