Trouble ia the Dawes Indian commission
was narrowly aveIted yesterday by the
withdrawal from the Senate OF the bill
extending the time when the court juris-
dlctiun shall be extended over the Indian
Territory. The House Indian Committee
heard the Dawes commission on the hro-
posed extension OF time yesterday. Had
the bill not been withdrawn, a clash would
have resulted, for Tams Bixby went TO
the hearing determined To have an extern
sion of time.
He is in favor of the withdrawn bill,
and believes the Indians should nave an
other chance to make a treaty with the
United States. Gen Armstrong is Iadi-
calIy oppc sed to this, and it is belle red
it was through his Influence that the bill
was withdrawn from the Senate. Gen.
Armstrong thinks it useless to waste any
more time trying t. induce the Indians to
accept the terms of the United states.
He thinks the best ana the quick .st way
is To send a regiment OF infantry dCwn
into Indian Territory and bring the Ie-
Iuctant ChickaSaws 10 terms at once.

efforts be made to obtain trea:ies, and

An earnest desire prevails in the House

dwelt oE the desirability Of the change,
and said that uIasmuch as the Library

advantages.
Mr.. Richardson of North Carolina agreed
with Nj Handy. Mr.. Bingham, however.
insisted on his point OF order that, by
adopting tine amendment. a rule Of the
House would be changed, and added that
instead OF costing SO, 600 il would cost

THE UNEMPLOYED FUND
NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS COMING IN

Design for the Entrance to the Park
In Arizona Sandstone-AH Hand
some Feature

On account of the Fiesta. no particu-
week to increase the funds for the un-
employed. The work In the park, how
ever, has been steadily progressing and
is nearing completion as far as the en-
trance is concerned. 1t Is still very de-
sirable that the boulevard should be
pushed clear through the park, and re-
newed effort will be made this week to
increase the fund with that view. While
a great many of the laborers are find
irg employment elsewhere and are
gradually scattering, there is still large
force seeking work. The fund up to last
right amounts to $23,297; this will be in
creased to some little extent by fund
now being raised by E. Laventhal &
Sons. wholesale liquor dealers, and by
the Southern California Music company,
which has generously donated piano.
by means of which it is hoped to raise
a considerable sum. There are also
large property owners in the city who
have not yet made any donations and
who are to be called upon the coming
week
Among the new subscriptions are: r..
F. Blaisdell, $25; Victor Ponet, s25; Slim
son Brothers, s25; John w. Vaughn. $25;
Daniel Schieck $40; Louis Roeder, $50:
Mrs. Doria Jones, $50; Allen Brothers.
$25
The proceeds from visitors to the store
of P. H. Mathews & Co. on last Satur-
day night to view their scene Of Niagara
amounted to the handsome sum of
$120.10
The design for the pillar and electric
lamp-post at the park entrance has been
adopted and will form a handsome or
nament to the gateway The base of this
will consist of native sandstone found in
the park and is already laid. The next
eight feet of the pier will be constructed
of Arizona red sandstone; beautifully
chiseled, which has been generously do
mated by H. Clement e. Co. In connec-
ton with this there will be four tablets
five feet in length, containing the words
Elysian park and Fremont gate. These
will be of Catalina marble and will be
donated by the Banning Brothers.
Above this will be the handsome capital
stone carved out of Sespe brownstone,
about five feet in height. on which the
lamp-post, holding five electric lights, is
to be erected. The whole structure will
have the height of twenty-five feet, and
will form a prominent feature in the
gateway.
William A. Fruhling, proprietor of the
Artistic Wrought Iron works, Los An
geles street, has offered to donate a
handsome wrought iron railing for the
steps and landing at the entrance, pp-
posite the stone pillar. This will make
a fine finish and the whole an imposing
entrance.

A Spring Precaupion

Children are specially liable to bron-
chitis In these days of early spring, when
a romp, which induces perspiration, and
discarding of all warm wraps is fol-
lowed by change in the atmosphere
enough to cause chill. Watchfulness
is the price of exemption. but coddling
is not watchfulnees in its proper sense,
and fresh air is necessity either in pre-
vention or cure.
Children who have once suffered an
attack are liable to develop it again.
Great care should, therefore. be taken
of them. but they are not to- be unduly
coddled. for stuffy rooms are worse for
young children than any other evil.
An important point to remember when
a young child is suffering from bronchi-
tis is that 1t not only requires warmth,
but also plenty Of air If 1t Is to recover.
The room must be well ventilated at all
times. This rule applies in all cases OF
bronchitis, but especially when the in
fant is the ufferer.-Philadelph Pub

ARIZONA CHARLES HORSE
Being Killed by Bull Its Owner Gets

of the western plains. of the frontier

answer to charge of cruelty to animals,
and the rneager portion of his Wild West
show, with the exception of the f,ur-
footed attaches, were there to give him
support, both moral and testimonial.
ARIZONA Charlie Is accused of having
allowed horse to be so horribly gored
by the infuriated bull during the prog
ress of the "bull fight" on Sunday after
noon that the aforesaid horse had to be
killed to end its sufferlngs. To the
charge, Charles attorneys at first filed
a demurrer, but this was overruled and
the Iong-haired cow-puncher entered a
plea of not guilty. His trial Is set for
this afternoon, and he was allowed to go
on depositing $50 as guarantee for his
appearance.
