An Unexpected $4,000.

| Willie Smith was 19-pretty, viva
cious. ambitious, but just now the very
, much discouraged owner of the Smith
| plantation and its encumbrances. Two
weeks before she had been summoned
| from her school at Staunton by the
death of her grandfather, and, as
| there was no other relative. had en-
tered at once into possession of the
property. A few days after the flu
neral the owner of the mortgage had
made an ostensible visit of condolences
but had so interpolated his expressions
of sympathy with matters of practical
significance that when he left Willie
was for the first time aware that she
was only the nominal owner of her
plantation.
At first she was stunned, for she had
already begun to make plans for the
improvement and extension Of the an
cestral acres. The poor cabins of the
negro tenants were to be replaced by
new ones, neglected fields were to be
again fenced and brought into cultiva-
ton. and better methods and better
machinery We're to be used. Her
grandfather had been easy-going and
impracticable, but she had supposed
that her schooling and the house ex-
penses had been met by the rents paid
him by negro tenants. Now she knew
that the mortgage had been gradually
increased to meet the deficits.
This morning she was in the kitchen
helping Aunt Chloe with the ironing,
but her thoughts We're busy with the
formidable problems of the future.
l,a nd hn In
terest to be met and, worst of ALL there
was 500 still due her school at Staun-
ton. She could not see any possible
way to pay it, for the season had been
bad, and the renters, instead of paying
what they owed, Were beginning to
clamor for advances on the next years
crops; and the creditor had delicately
limited that her grandfather had al
ready raised the mortgage out of all
proportion TO it's security. In anxious
succession her mind went over her own
accomplishments in search of some
thing that would be money producing.
She was fond of scribbling, and was
fairly good at drawing and music, and
had won a school reputation as lin
guist But she was too honest and
practical to overrate these accomplish
ments. They were good things to know
but would not help her at this crisis
No, she must struggle as best she could
until the creditor foreclOsed then she
would go out and seek a place among
the wage earners.
''Heyer's yo' mail, Mis- Willie" called
Uncle Tobes voice through the open
window, and black hand was thrust
in with package of letters. She took
them and glanced over the postmarks
carelessly. Most of them were from
school friends at Staunton. Several
were circulars, and one was from
Leadville. Col. She selected this and
examined it curiously. She had no cor
respondents in any part of the west.
Inside was check and short letter,
with the printed address of Leadville
banking house: The letter read:

are requested to forward you the in
closed check for ten thousand dollars

hurriedly examined the check. Yes,

A NEW TRUNK ROAD.
Extension of the Findlay, Fort
Wayne and Western.

Findlay, o., Nov. ga meeting was
held this afternoon in the directors room
OF the Findlay, Fort Wayne &c Western
railroad for the purpose of ratifying the
plans already determined upon for ex-
tending that road both east and west and
forming one of the most important trunk
lines in the country.
A special train, with two private cars
of the Illinois Central road, arrived at
11:15 o'clock this morning. The train bore
a party composed of John Jacob Astor,
president. of the road; ]. T. Harrahan,
vice president of the Illinois Central and
other officials of the two corporations.
At the directors meeting definite plans
for the extension of the road were made
eastward and westward. When this is ac-
Western will become a great trunk line
railroad, over whose tracks will pass a
large portion of the products of the great
west on the way to the seaboard. It is
believed that the road will become the
eastern outlet for the Illinois Central rail-
road. A survey has been made of line
from Fort Wayne to Kankakee H.,
where the road makes it's connection with
the Illinois Central. From F'indlay east
ward a survey has been made to Lester
Junction, o., where connections will be
made for Cleveland over the Cleveland,
Lorraine & Wheeling, and also for eastern
trunk lines. From one terminus to the
other. the line will be almost straight,
and the grade will be confined to Is feet
to the mile. 1t developed here tonight
that work has also been commenced on
ton TO Newcastle, Pa.
Mr.. Aston, president and chief stock
holder of the Tangent line, is a heavy
stockholder and director of the Illinois
Central railroad. This road win prove of
incalculable value to the Illinois Central
which at present has to deliver all its
business to other lines at Chicago.

MURDER OF The UTAH UTES
ARMY OFFICERS DEMAND AN
INVESTIGATION.
Captain Wright and Lieutenant Cav
anaugh Give the Results of Their
Inquiry-A Cold-Blooded Murder.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Captain
Wright and Lieutenant Cavanaugh,
Ninth cavalry, who commanded the
troops in the recent disturbance in
Colorado, have demanded an investiga-
ton of the affair by the interior de-
partment. Captain Wright secured a
statement from the Indians of the af-
fair, the sum of which is chat a small
party of them were captured on Snake
hill, hunting deer, the majority of
them in the hills and but four bucks
were in camp, when a party of armed
white men came into camp They re-
manned there some time, the Indians
not understanding them. Finally one
opened his coat and showed a star,
saying they were buckskin police and
the Indians must go with them; the
Indians refused, upon which the whites
covered them with their pistols, and
several grasping the two bucks by the
wrists, a struggle commenced. A squaw
ran to their assistance, when the police
literally riddled her with bullets. A
warden on the outside of the party
shot the squaW in the back of her head,
and another in the arm. The surviving
bucks saw their chance to run for
horses, which they had in the brush,
and did so, making their escape. The
Indians insisted that neither at that
time, nor since, have they fired a shot
at q white man.
Captain Wright's report of what he
found at Vaughn's ranch says:
Found there about ten men and two
women. The wardens and armed posse
after eating all of Vaughn's winter
supplies, had departed that morning
and the families from Lily Park were
getting ready to reklrn. The citizens
there referred to the affair as not an
INDIAN" but a white mans outbreak.
Warden Wilcox had previously warned
the families to leave Lily Park, in an
of trouble, saying if he could
not arrest the Indians he would kill
them"
At Thompson's ranch Captain
Wright found a corral and haystacks
burned by the Indians, which they
acknowledged to have done in their an
ger after their affair with the war
dens.
Lieutenant Cavanaugh, in his report
of his interview with them, said: "The
Indians stated that they could not see
why the whites had treated them so.
They were peaceable, wanted no trou-
BILE and had made no resistance but
had been shot down in cold blood. They
had remained quiet and were waiting
to see what Washington would do be-
fore they took any action themselves.
They are anxious that an investigation
be made

Washington, Nov. 29.-Baron Hole
ben, the recently appointed German
ambassador, presented his credentials
to President Mckinley today. The am
bassador wore the uniform of his rank
and his decorations. He was accom-
panied to the White House by Secre-
tary Sherman. The speeches by the
ambassador and the president were of
the uniformly supplementary charac-
ter.
DR.. Won Holleben is one of the best
known diplomats in Europe. The doc
tor is also well known and highly es-
teemed in Washington, where he filled
the post of German minister from
March, 1892 to September, 1898. The
mission was then raised to an embassy,
and DR.. Won Holleben was replaced by
ambassador Saurma-J eltsch. The new
ambassador is highly educated and a
most suave man. He speaks English
with as much fluency as born Amer
lean or Englishman, and during his
stay five years ago won many friends
in Washington society, where he was

known as one of the few bachelors of
the diplomatic corps. He is about 30
years old and has an inclination toward
the pleasures of literature.
Or; Won Holleben is probably most
widely known as the duelling diplo-
mat" His face is covered with the
scars Of saber wounds received on the
field of honor. some while he was a
student at Heidelberg and some since
then. More than that, he comes fresh
from serving as second in one of the
most deadly duels which have taken
place in Europe during recent years.
One of the combatants was killed on
the spot, and the other has since died
of his wounds. The duel took place
at Stuttgart, where DR. Won HoIleben
was stationed. Both principals were
titled young men. and the other second
was a general in the Prussian- army.
DR.. Won Holleben was severely criti-
cised by the press and public, but his
imperial master evidently sanctioned
his course, for he soon after gave him
a decoration and now has made him
an ambassador.

Determination of Full Bloods to Act
in Their Individual Capacity and
Emigrate to Mexico-This Move
ment May Settle the Question
For All Time.

Washington, Nov. ga remarkable
and vigorous report has been made to
the interior department by Agent Wi
dom. in charge OF the Union agency in
Oklahoma, where the five civilized
tribes are located. Mr.. Widom says:
1.-THE intruders must go. The in
truders have made the Indians doubt
the good faith of the government and
made it more difficult to treat on the
more important issues Of allotment and
the breaking UP of tribal autonomy in
the nation to which the individual In
dian belongs. a sound public policy
demands the eviction of al declared in
truderS and any measure of eXpedience
on the part of the department that
tenporizes with the intruder or post
pOnes his removal on mere technicali-
ties is fallacious and misleading. Let
ali the treaties be enforced and all
the safeguards secured to the Indians
be upheld in letter and in spirit, and
then the Indians Will make liberal con-
cessiOns and accept without murmur-
ing the changed condition which con-
fronts them
"The clamor for a change in tribal
autonomy has produced Indian unrest
and diSqCietude, resulting in q deter
mined purpose on the part of the full
bloods, Who act in their individual ca
pacity, to emigrate to Mexico and
South America. This movement may
grow to the proportion of a colony, and
it is understood that liberal grants of
land can be secured from the countries
mentioned.
This movement may settle the In
dian question to a degree and thus hap
PLY relieve the Dawes commission,
congress and others who have combat
ted with the question for years. The
movement may be chfmerical or vision
airy, but l am disposed to present it

Discussing the judicial complications
in the territory, the report stamps the

Denunciation of Tunis Treaty.

Washington, Nov. 29-While our
government has not been advised Off
cially of the intention of the French
government to denounce the treaty of
trade and commerce which has existed
between the United States and Tunis
for a century, some action in that di-
rection is looked for, in view of the
fact that the subject for a long time
has been under consideration by the
state department and the French en-
bassy. Thus far these negotiations
have come to nothing, for our govern
ment has taken the position that there
IS no authority in the French govern
ment, in it's present relations to Tunis,
for denunciation of a treaty between
the United States and Tunis direct.

TESTIMONY OF ACCUSED.

Beginning with the statement that
he came to America II years ago, the
prisoner said his real name was Force
swsky, and briefly related the facts of
his life UP to the time he met Mrs
Mack, Is months ago. Guldensuppe was
boarding with Mrs. Mack at the time
Il rented a furnished room from her

stood Guldensuppe was her husband
She first made love to me. and 1 re-
turned her love. 1 was very fond of
her, and loved her up to the moment
she took the witness stand on my first
trial.
The prisoner told how he supplanted
the bath rubber in Mrs Nack's affec-
lions, and described the row he had
with Guldensuppe in consequence, last
February. Guldensuppe caught hold of
him. Thorn held a revolver, which
went off accidentally. Guldensuppe took
the pistol from him and gave him a
beating. The prisoner went to a hos
pital. Mrs. Mack met him afterwards
very often, and they went to places of
amusement She said she was sorry
that GuldensupDe had hurt him, but
that he must not heed that.
