CHEROKEE FISH FRY.
Manner In which the Finny Tribe 4
Caught for = Barbecue.

=
Caught for n Barbecue.
The Cherokee Indians of Sequoyah
district, Indian territory, had big fab
fry tho other day on Lees creek that
outstripped all other efforts in that Line
over attempted in this country. Hum
dreds of white men, women and chil-
dren participated, as well as nearly
1000 bucks" ''squaws" and papooses.
A large amount of fish was caught
or killed. They have two ways OF get
ting fish which insure q plenty when
ever they attempt a fish fry. One way
is to send = month in advance a lot
of men to dam up a hole. This is done
at the upper end of . large hole, and
extends as far down the hole as shall
low water extends, or until the water
ia not more than two feet deep. The
dam extends across the stream and an
opening Is left about ten feet wide
in the center. At two o'clock a. m.
the day the fish fry is to come off they
stop this opening, thus having the fish
trapped. sos
The next morning the fun begins.
Hundreds of men wade, in and with
bow and arrow begin the onslaught.
fsh is sighted and the bow brought
into service. Sometimes a large fish
has q dozen arrows in it before 1t Is
captured. All this time the redskins,
male and female. keep screeching. their
cries being easily heard 4 mile away.
This il the way they always start
out to get fish, but if from any cause
they fail to get enough they resort 10
"buckeyeing" This is accomplished
by getting sacks of buckeye leaves and
branches, crushing them with stones
and wallowing them through the creek.
This intoxicates the fish and they are
easily caught by spearing, shooting or
with bow and arrow, the Indians sell
dom failing to get all the fish they
want. The fish made drunk will soon
recover il not taken out of the water
quickly. sy
As soon as they have caught enough
for q roast" cooking begins. Atrench
is dug and wire stretched aeross' IL.
The fish are laid on fop OF the wire
just as they are taken from the creek
not cleaned or dressed. A fire is then
lighted in the trench. and after tul4l-
ing over the fish few times they are
taken of "done." The native. then
takes the ish, peels the scales OF. skins,
as the case may be, off, eats to the
entrails and throws the carcass away.
1t is a sight worth going miles TO
see, a Cherokee fish fry, and whenever
one is announced more white men go
than do Indians.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

Catarrl, and Malaria.

People who are or have been affected
by catarrh are most subject to chronic
malerla. The explanation is this: Ma
leria is germ disease. Germs find
their way into the blood through the
mucous membranes. If the mucous
membranes are healthy the germ can
not enter the blood. This is why some
people do not get maleria But if the
membranes are affected by catarrh,
even slightly, the malera germs find
easy access into the blood.
Pe-ru-na is the remedy. IL not only
destroys malaria germs, but so restores
the mucous membranes to health, that
no more germs can find entrance. Pc
ru-na is the most reliable remedy for
chronic malaria. 1t cures by eradicat-
ing the germs from the system.

The Mission of General Miles.


General Miles, in full uniform, is
en- route home. Doubtless ut this very
moment he is standing tcroically ON
the deck of he ST. Lonis alternately
gazing stern farewell 10 the other
powers and straining his eyes TO catch
n glimpse of the welcome that awaits
him here.
His mission is at last ended Like a
fiery star he has fla shed across The Eu-
ropcan sky, sending his rays into the
innermost recesses of the earth, and
spying ont with unfalling vision the
dread military secrets that the other
powers in their fatuiiy hoped 10 keep
concealed.
A part of those secrets have already
been published in an interview gracious
" rendered the press. We are inform
ell that the Graceo- Turkish war,
the Russian field mancnvers and Qneen
victoria's jubilee have offered General
Miles an uneqnalled opportunity,
though in his modesty he does not add
that these events were gotten up ex-
pressly for that purpose.
General Miles admires the Russian
soldiers. He speaks highly of he Ger
mans. He has commendaiion for the
English. He has hearty respect for
the French. All of these facts must he
of incalculable benefit to our State and
War departments.

doubt that our own locomotive head
lights will be thus utilized to play havoc
with our enemies hopesP Can any OF
our citizens be so dull of comprehen-
sion that he fails to realize that these
discoveries will revolutionize modern
warfareP
General Miles has surpassed all ex-
pectations. "Of something over 81
900, 900 men under arms" he has s'seen
nearly 100000 in barracks and in gar
rison and in field maneuvers." He
would undoubtedly recognize some OF
them trying to slip into the United
States. What is more to the purpose
these 4O0,0 war dogs have also seen
General Miles in ball rooms and BAN
quoting halls and in battle array. 1t

Onr country's situation is by no

Miles modestly affects TO consider it.

Here is what the st. Louis Christi. n
Advocate says of Advertising: ..This
is an age for advertising. Everybody
IS advertising his business, no matter
what its character may be. The man
who does not advertise in some way
cannot build up and maintain flourish
ing business. The man who can reach
the most people is the man who is likely
to succeed. Hence we find all live
business men constantly striving TO
devise new and attractive methods,
pictures and forms to catch the eye
and the cash of the ssdear'' people.
The day is past when the people seek
the merchant. The merchant must
seek the people; for they are going to
spend their money with the man who
invites them and makes them welcome
and offers them the best bargains

Cages Weak Answer.

From the Kansas City Times.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
taken his turn at answering Bryan.
Mr.. Gage directs his energies to re-
futing Alr. Bryan's remark that under
free coinage the demand for silver
created by its use as money would
raise the bullion price TO the coinage
price.
The eXistance of such demand is
denied by MIR Gage. lie points out
that there is no limit price fixed at
the mint and that all The government
could do is TO coin the requisite num-
bcr OF ounces of silver into a dollar
and hand it over TO its owner, who
would exchange it at whatever price
his customers pleased TO take it. lie
argnes, therefore, that no where does
The coinage create n technical ''de-
mand" for silver, such as would tend
to raise the bullion price.
Mr.. Cages error, however, is pal
pablo. When the man should bring
81 IA grains to mint, the govern.
ment wonld give him, a little later,
one silver dollar. Therefore the price
of 37l Ia grains of silver, under free
coinage at l6 TO l., would be one dol
lar, capable of paying debts and tsxes,
and buying groceries. And at the
same rate the mint price of one ounce
OF silver would be 81 20.
Mr.. Gage denies this. Let him then

United States for 1896. On page As

Well, Not This Trip.

The boys up at the fort no under

under the new post surgeon. A weary
surgeon, "doctor, I've got an awful

look the alleged sufferer over compass

him to take that man up stairs and put
him to bed. Then the ''sick" man
would roll his tongue over onto the
left cheek. close the adjacent optic
quite tightly, and with the other optic
wide opened anbie of comPiacently to
a comfortable bed, while bis less de-
ceptive compadres continued at their
fat; que dut*.
But now things have changed, and
there is much moul ming thereat in the
fatigue camp. When Captain Wilcox,
the new post surgeon came, several OF
the "sick'' men tried to work the old
gag off on him, thinking that because
of his supposed tender years, and inrO-
cent, bland and chilklike look, he was
| workable. But they one and all fell
down. The new surgeon was veteran
| foot ball player on tie Yale team, and
| was afterward graduated from one OF
the most practical medical schools in
the country, the medical school of the
University of Virginia, and he knows
a thing or two. So when the first
dough boy dragged himself in with in
tense pain in his spleen, hepstic duct,
| osseus tissue, registering ganglia or
suthin' (but especially the su,hin'), the
hard headed captain looked the pa
tient" over q moment or two, and then
administering sharp poke with his
fist in the region of the imaginary all

told him to gather up his 1ounces and
duty.
Then the "sick'' man meandered
slowly aud thoughtfully back to his
job with face on him as long as the
lessons on ".he subjective ego" that
the Doc used to be dosed with from
Porter's Human Intellect at Yale.
while the ''sick mans companions
laughed at him until he wanted to take
unto himself wings and fly to the utter
most parts of the night.
Three or four such attempts, and the
luxuriously inclined among the enlist-
ed men concluded it would be advisa-
BILE to take long and quiet rest on the
professional sickness business. At the
same time if man Is really off his
pathological base he is suitably cared
for, and no kick coming.
