Is Life Worth Living?

If there is an individual on earth who is
excusabie for thus interrogating himself,
it is the unhappy mortal who suffers from
malaria in some one of its dabolical forms.
This is no difficult conumdrum, however.
Life is worth living by any man or woman
who enjoys good health, and is not har-
rassed by reproachful conscience. The
malarial scourge, heavily laid on, is ter
rble one for the sufferer to endure. 4
series of freezings, screenings and sweats
the last leaving one as limp and as
strengthless as dishrag are hard indeed,
recurring as they do with flendish regular
ity. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
worldwide known preventive and eura-
tive Of this class Of maladies either in the
form of ague and fever, bilious remittent,
dumb ague and ague cake. Used with
persistence they will, rely upon it, eradi-
cate diseare from the system. They also
eradicate disease from the system. They
also conquer rheumatism kidney and blad-
dor complaints, nervousness, dyspepsia,
liver complaint and constipation, and re-
new falling strength.

ellis Mountain Items.


Ed. BULLETIN: 1t is now pine nut
harvest time with the Indians. ellis
mountains have extensive groves of
the pine nut trees; also herds of
mountain sheep. The ranges are
dotted with many wild and a few do
INVESTIGATED horses.
The Indian squaws gather the pine
nuts and the bucks hunt sheep and
steal horses.
The leader of an organized band OF
horse thieves and his Plute renegades
are here. This band of outlaws has
been steAting horses for the past ten
years. ellis mountain range is the
south end terminus of their thieving
operations and Carson sink the north
end. Horses are stolen here and
taken to the Carson sink, and others
stolen there are run up to ellis
mountain.
These red skins have become i'm
pudent and troublesome. Within
the past ten days they have stolen
two horses and colt belonging to
me-my favorite saddle mare and q
pack horse. The mare | got of An
tone Leoni, the stage man, and there
is no cloud on the title. The loss OF
my horses works a great hardship on
me, as | have mines to look after in
three different camps, 90 miles apart,
and cannot get along without horse.
1t is high time that an example was
made of these tribal horse rustlers,
who have overstocked the country
with worthless mongrel horses-eat-
ing feed that should be given to cat
tie and sheep. If these Indians are
wards of the government some re-
straint should be placed on them by
the government prohibiting them
from overruning the country with
useless wild horses. The male adults
should be restricted to Two horses
This would break up a long endured
nuisance and enrich the country in
cattle and sheep. Coyote valley, sit
uated in the ellis range, is of small
area. At present there are about
200 horses there, and Of this Number
not more than ten are of any value.
The balance are not worth skinning,
All the springs adjacent to the val
ley are out OF use. There are but
two or three places where the poor
furnishing brutes can get but muddy
water by sucking it from their own
tracks.
Humanely speaking, the horses
are in a pitiable condition. The Iu-
dians never clean the mud and filth
put of the springs, leaving it for the
whites to do. White man heap tam
phool he work all time. Injun he
lay on belly, eat pine nut, catehum

A WAR AMONG THE RIFLES
Charges About to Be Preferred
Against Secretary Harrington.
The Trouble Is the Result of a Fac
tional Fight in the Organization.
Officers Refuse to Talk.

As an aftermath to the recent dissen-
sions III the National Rifles Association,
charges are about TO he preferred against
Secretary Edward p. Harrington for vio-
lating one OF the bylaws of the constitu-
ton. The charges are to be formulated
by members of the minority party and
handed to Capt. oyster, who will sum
mon Mr.. Harrington to appear before the
board of court-martial. OF this Capt.
Exams, another OF the minority faction, is
president
The alleged infraction of the rules was
committed al the last meeting of the board
of directors OF the association. The Of
fenses, it is claimed by Capt. oyster and
his supporters. are such as Will render
the secretary liable to suspension from
! the company. on the ether hand it is said
by Secretary Harrington and ms friends
that this movement on the part of the mi
nority is purely an outgrowth of the con-
test which has arisen between the two
factions. The blow is aimed at Mr.. Har
rington as he is believed to be the leader
of the ma jority.
Further, it is claimed by the ma jor
ity, that, if these charges are formally
entered, Secretary Harrington Will have
martial, which is composed almost ex-
clusivcly OF Capt. oysters adherents.
Therefore, they say he is practically con-
viCted OF the charges as soon as they are
made.
However, IL convicted, he proposes to
appeal the matter as provided for in the
constitution, to the associa ton itself This
means that he will be entirely cleared of
the charges, as his friends outnunber his
opponents to !.
Capt. oyster and Capt. Evans, when seen
yesterday by Times reporter, both re-
fused to talk for publication.
In the meanwhile compromise agree
ment, which il is hoped will be satisfactory
TO both parties, is being quietly circulated,
and numcrously signed. It's also said that
movement is on foot to oust Capt.
Oyster from his position as captain.

THE DISTRICT WILL SUE.
An Injunction Asked for Against
u. s. Electric Light Company.

A bill in equity will be filed today by
Attorney Thomas. in the name of the
District, to procure the issuance of q
restraining order against the United States
Electric Lighting Company, to prevent the
maintenance OF certain overhead wires on
G street northwest, which the Commis
sioners contend are in use contrary to
law.
The wires are strung bet tween Sixth and
Seventh streets, and are understood TO be
those by which the company supplies
electricity to the Jefferson Hotel, and
other buildings in that block. Five wires
are strung there, two of them alleged TO
have been put up without permit.
The Commissioners claim that the matter
of authority can be best determined by
the courts. These two, and other wires,
they say, have been erected without la W
full authority, and they want TO have it
judicially determined whether or not the
company may maintain the wires under
such circumstances.

EDUCATING THE INDIANS.
The Work Being Accomplished by
the Ladies' Auxiliary.

The meeting of the Women's Auxiliary
to tile Board of Indian Commissi toner's yes
terday forenoon was held in the parlors
of the Riggs House. An unusually large
number were present, owing to the fact
that National President Mrs. A. s. Quinton
was announced to deliver an address
Mrs. Quinton's paper, which was upon
the work of the Ladies' Auxiliary Society,
occupied the whole of the session Con-
'cerning the class of work undertaken by
the society, the speaker said that it is en-
tirely different from that done by any
other workers among the Indians.
The planof the society is to secure grants
OF reservation lands from the Indeians and
the government and then TO build school
houses upon them and install competent
teachers. The work Of education thus be-
gun is turned over to any church organza-
tion which is willing to continue it. Edu-
cational advantages are, in this manner,
continually procured for tribes who up TO
the time of instituting the school work,
have had no facilities for improvement.
At the beginning OF the present year there
were seventy Indian tribes who had never
had the advantage OF teachers service.
Now there are only thirty-four such tribes,
owing to the work OF the society.

THE VAN RIswICK WILL.
Slow Progress Made in the Contest
Over the Deceased's Property.

The Van Riswick will contest is pro-
crossing slowly in Judge McComas' court.
Much of the time is consumed in lengthy
arguments of counsel, and as each side
has large array OF legal talent there is
considerable discussion. First Mr.. Perry
takes an inning and then he is supple
mented 10y Mr.. " orthington. Judge Wilson
follows on the other side and is backed up
10y Mr.. Harry E. Davis and Mr.. william F.
Mattngly. During the II orning session yes
tcrday q little testimony was admitted,
but just before recess snag was struck
and the lawyers began throwing authorities
at the court, which battle lasted until well
into the afternoon, when the admission of
evidence was resumed.
There We're in court yesterday after
Ioon during the hearing Mr.. and hlrs. Will
ton j. Lam bert, the latter being the daugh-
ter OF Senator German: Mr.. and Mrs. Tall
madge Lambert, Mr.. and Mrs. Carr and
many friends of both sides.
The argument as to the admissability of
Mr.. William A. Fenwick's staten ents as to
his opinion of the influence upon Mrs. Van
Riswick. the deceased grandm other of
Wilt on j. Lambert, wa concluded about 2
O'Clock, Judge McComas ruling that the
statements were not admissible. This was
the firstlegal oint gained by Mr.. Lambert's
counsel, Mrs Carr having secured ruling
from the court admitting declarations of
the deceased to show the state of her mind
with relation to the disposition Of certain
pieces of her property.
Mr.. X. Ross Perry continued the reading
OF the deposition Of Mr.. Fenwick and noted
an exception to the judges ruling exclud-
ing the answers as to the witness opinion
ofinfluence exerted upon Mrs vanRiswick
The reading of the deposition was con-
cluded and other evidence will be offered
Monday morning, when the case will again
come up.

TWO NEW SCHOOLS WANTED.
The commissioners Estimate for
Lexington and Twining City.

The Commissioners submitted yesterday
to Chairman Grout, of the House Subcom-
mittee on District Affairs, the estimates for
two new public school buildings, one for
an eig ght-roorn structure in lieu OF the one
of four rooms in lexington, and the other
a four-room building i'll Twining City.
With respect to the estimate for the
lexington building, the Commissioners say
that the necessity for this change was pre-
sented to them by the lexington Citizens
Association, and that the suggestion has
the concurrence of the superintendent of
public schools.
The estimate for Twining Cityis regarded
as very necessary Reference is made to
the visit of a delegation to the Commits
sioners in December, for the presentation
Of facts in support of an appeal, and the
data as then printed in The Times, is re-
capitulated.
The estimates, as prepared by the build
ing inspector, are: For the purchase of
a site and erecting four-room building,
Sl7,250; for the eightroom building, in
clnding the purchase of the site, SAG 500.

THE BANKS AFFAIRS MUDDLED.
The Rea son for the Arrest of Presi-
dent Mcknight of Louisville.

The action Of Bank Examiner Escott at
Louisville in swearing out warrant for
the arrest of ]. NJ. Mcknight, president of
the German National Bank Of that place,
is the result Of instructions from the Comp
troller of the Currency following a careful
examination into the condition of the in
stitution. Mcknight has been under sus-
picion in the comptroller's office since he
became president of the German National
Bank
He was formerly bank examiner for Ken
tucky, but was dropped some years ago.
Meningitis services were dispensed with
because it was believed he was not proper
person to fill the office OF bank examiner.
His selection as president of the German
Bank was made against protest from the
office of the Comptroller of the Currency
Last Saturday Bank Examiner Escott
met Comptroller Eckels in Chicago and pre-
sented to him his report on the condition
of the bank. Mr.. Eckels told him to re-
turn to Louisville and close the institu-
ton.

COLLIDE FRosr,s CUSTODY.
Judge Cole VIII Render His Decision
In the Case on Monday.

The question as to the custody OF little
Goide Marie Frost is now in the hands
f Judge Cole. The taking of testimony
and the hearing of argument has been
concluded, and all that remains of the
controversy is the decision of the court.
Until next Monday, what that decision
will be will remain an unknown quantity
to those interested.
From the courts interrogations of coun-
sci during the arguments delivered by
Judge Bell for Mrs. Fleck and Mr.. Haini
ton for Mr.. Frost there is an indication
that Judge Cole will be much Influenced
by the order of Judge Cox dissolving the
marriage of Frost and Margaret Nc
Kama, on the ground of the latter's ex-
listing marriage at the time of the alleged
wedding with Frost, who now claims to be
the father of the child in dispute.

THE OWNER Is RESPONSIBLE.
Judge Kimball's Opinion Regarding
the Sanitation of Alley Houses.

West Taylor, Annie Lewis and Louisa
Coleman, oolored, are tenants of ram
shackIe shanty that is dignified by its
designation as No. 10 Brown court south
west. The foregoing joint tenants were
before Judge KiInball yesterday charged
with maintaining conditions about their
residence somewhat foreign to the best
interests of sanitation. This system of
renting a shanty by a landlord to three,
four or half q dozen famllics,'' said his
honor in disposing of the case, lis q
nuisance, and the liability as TO the sani-
tary condition of such houses should at
tach to the owner instead OF to the tenants"
The court instructed the health officer
to bring in the owner of the premises in
vowed in the next case of nuisance, as it
was his opinion the owner could be held
on the charge.
No fine was imposed, the defendants
being given until the ED instant 10 abate
the nuisance
