HEATHENISM IN ALASKA.

Infanticide, Witchery, Polygamy and the
Murder of Parents Prevalent.
EAGLE LAKE, Ind, May 25.-AlaSka's
horrors and hopes were aired by DIR.
Sheldon Jackson, the moderator of the
Presbyterian general assembly, in his
discourse Sunday. He said that infan-
ticide, witchery, polygamy, the muir
der of parents and other practices of
benighted and degraded paganism pre-
vailed to horri BILE extent among three
or four native races. Mothers killed
their own babies. DR.. Jackson found
that in some tribes it was the
practice of children to kill father
and mother when they got old.
The custom had become firmly
established as to be inevitable. The
grip swept the coast of Alaska and
carried off many natives. They attrib-
uted the disease to witches. DIR. Jack
son declares scores of persons were
burned or buried alive on suspicion of
being witches. He says the Alaskans
are not a ferocious people, and de-
scribed them as mild and docile.

NO CHEROKEE TREATY.

Indications Point Strongly to p Disagree
ment Between the Two Commissioner
TAHLEQUAH, 1. T., May 26.-It devel-
oped yesterday that there is no pros
pect that the Dawes commission and
the Cherokee commission will reach
any agreement at the present meeting
looking to the allotment of lands in
severalty and the adjustment of tribal
government. Only two of the Chero-
kee commissioners, ex-senator C. V.
Rogers and ex-Chief d. w. Bushyhead,
are in favor of attempting to nego-
tiate treaty, and there are SO many
points of difference that an agreement
is very doubtful even if negotiations
are proceeded with.

PIXIES PEAK.
Work Started on the Tunnel That VIII Be
Fifty Miles Long.


CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, May 25.-Two
gangs of men are now digging on the
tunnel to be made under Pixies peak.
One crew began at the foot of the
mountain, near the old town of Colora-
do City. From there it will run about
due southwest, and the further end is
to be about six miles from Cripple
Creek and near Sunol. The main tun-
mel will pass directly under the cone of
Pixies peak, at a depth of Z 1000 feet, and
2,7OO feet under Victor. Thirty miles
of laterals are to be built underneath
all of the Cripple Creek district, at
average depth of $500 feet, and it is
designed to test the mineral deposits
from these depths. At present the
shortest road from Cripple Creek to
Colorado Springs is 54 miles, but with
the completion of the new tunnel the
distance will be but 16 miles. The two
gangs are now making a Roadway of
80 feet per day, and it is believed that
the work will be completed in seven
The estimated cost per foot of the eX-
cavation is $50 This would make the
cost of digging the tunnel and branches
reach $50, 500, 900.

A Schoolboy Meets Death in the Iron
Mountain Yards at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, May 26.-OScar Lamb, Ia
years old, of 2714 Bismarck street, was
instantly killed yesterday in the Iron
Mountain railroad yards. He was on
his way to school, but stopped to play
with several of his friends. The boys
boarded a slow-moving freight train
and clamored to the roof. The train
increased its speed and they became
frightened. Somebody suggested that
they jump off, and Oscar was the first
to start down the ladder, to which he
chung, awaiting an opportunity to leap.
Before he had chance, however, a
switch engine steamed by on the next
track and struck the boy on the side.
1t knocked him off the ladder, crushed
his skull and cut his face. His left
arm was mangled by the wheels and
his body was almost unrecogniza BILE.
He died on the way to the dispensary
and his body was sent home.

raise money for charitable purpose
Bob Maryhew and Vince Murdoch,
Butte county, South Dakota, cowboys,

Murdoch finally knocked out with a
blow on the point of the jaw, but the
necessary funds We're raised and the
combatants expressed themselves as
well satisfied with the result of the

by a herd of frightened cattle. He
was married man and left a wife and
three children in destitute circum-
