Here is an amusing way to close an
evening party" says an exchange;
Take all the guests into the dining
room and turn out the lights Make
them all sit around the room. in the
middle OF which place 81 soup plate. In
the soup plate put some common salt
and a little alcohol. Light the aico-
hoi and look at each others faces.
they will look natural at first, but as
the alcohol burns out and the salt be-
comes ignited the flames change from
blue to yellow and the changes in then
faces are very startling. They all
take ON a CHASTITY look. Eyes stick oul
and the skin looks as though drawn
light like parchment. Then the faces
become almost black and when the
flames die out and you 60 into light
ed room you unconscionsly try to wip.

TIE NATIVES WILL FIGHT.

Louis Beclie, chief Of the Chip
pswas Indians, has written letter
70 President Mckinley, asking
issiou to lead a regiment of
braves against the Spanish In
Ase of war. The letter is as
follows:
For myself, aud BY the author
ity invested in me by my people,
! hereby tender to the govern
n1ent Of the United States the
services of 500 able bodied
indians, who will. enlist as
volunteers in the event Of war
being declared with any foreign
nation. The only condition
imposed by this tendar IS that
the soldiers. 50 volunteering be
fCrhned into one regiment and

not distributed throughout the
entire army. tits desired by my
followers that a colonel of the
regiment be selected from their
number, but as this offer is in
spired by patriotism ---rlot by the
desire to gain notriety or laurels
| am pleased 10 be able to state
that these 500 men are willing to
fight under the leadership of
whoever the government may de-
tail for such office. | think / may
safely state after conversing with
some Of the leading Chippewas Of
rleighboring tribes, that fully
/ 200 additional Indian volunteers
would come to the front from
this section Immediately upon
the declaration Of war.
"The Chippewas have long
since buried low the tonallawk
that was stained with the blood
OF contendillg nations and for
many years has the pipe Of peace
been glowing witl,the ra5lienceo of
friendliness between once bitter
enemies; no longer does the old
warrior Of our nation revive the
memories Of sangulnary conflicts
and horrible carnage, he has
ceased to thirst for the blood Of
the once hated Sioux who slew
his ancestors on the battlefield.
These things are Of the past. and
the mind of the Chippewa of
today free of prejudices, except
for the welfare of this mighty
ma ton which has taken our land
for the good OF ourselves, and
given us in return civilization,
industry and peace. Who has
more right to fight for the United
States than the men who were
here before Columbus sailed from
Spain in search of India?---Spain
discovered US in 1892, and ! am
lconstrained to remark that she
will find us grown some if She
sends anybody oyer to discover us
at this latesday. / am for peace,
but ruffied peace IS worse than
war, and the dignity and honor
|of a great nation must be pre-
served.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


WASHINGTON, u g.. Mar. %. 1898.
The FIRST and longest period Of
waiting is at an end. The re-
port Of the naval court Of inquiry
on the Maine explosion is now in
the hands of the president, and
was today carefully gone over
and discussed at an extended
meeting of the cabinet. Spain
has been officially notified of the
pnrport Of the report. That
ended the first stage of the case,
and we have now entered upon
the second stage, which is likely
to be much shorter. The report,
together with copy Of the COM
munication sent to Spain by the
president, will be seat to congress
next week, and then---what?
1t is impossible at this time to
say what programme will be fol-
lowed in congress, because cir
Icunstauces are likely to bring
about Changes at any stage Of the
proceedings. But it is certain
that an understanding has been
arrived at between the president
and the congressional leaders of
all parties, who have conferred
with him in the last three days,
and believed that in aecornance
with understanding the report
and accompanying message will
be referred to committees as soon
as received in the house and
senate, and that those committees
will take whatever action that
President Mckinley may desire;
and what he will desire will de-
pend largely upon the answer
received from Spain. If il is war,
this country will be fully prepared
to push the fighting, not only on
the water, but in Cuba. Arrange
lnents are all perfected by which
we can land $4,000 soldiers il
Cuba inside Of ten days, without
Ienlisting man---militia regi-
nents aggregating that number,
which are ready at a days notice,
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1898-03-31

Senator Powers says that tile
reason why he drew mileage Only
one way was because lie used d
pass going to Pierre, and SO ia
formed the chairman of the mile
age committee tone Of the big
pop guns when he called Oh him
for his account. Said chairman
said that need make no difference
as they all used passes. Powers
finally told the chairman to put
him down for fare one way, as
he expected to have to buy a
ticket to return home as the re-
forn1t?1 populists had a majority
Of the legislature and had intro
duced a bill making it a ;llisde-
n1eanor for a member Of the
Legislature TO accept or ride on a
pass. He didn't have TO pay,
however.

their economy or efficiency. In ths

many cases would take the train and
stop Oft at the stations along the road
and ask the station agent to have a
bottle OF oil from the Oil companYs

In other cases he would write the agent
ito send him sample bottle by mai.
He wrote Allen Peden, the Standard
Oil Cos. agent here, for a Sample by
mail. MIR. Pedan paid no attention to
him. Then he wrote again and got
an answer but no oil. We are told this
is the way most of the inspection was
done.
II this is true of the work OF the in
spector his work is OF no earthly use.
How does he know whether the oil he

OTHER WAYS THAN BY WAR.
The Rev. Mary Baker g. Eddy's Views Re
garding n Great Question.


Concord, N. H., March 10, 1885
When asked for an expression of her
views upon the great question that is
agitating the people os the country at
present, the Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy.
the founder of Christian Science, ssid:
in reply to your question, Should
difficulties between the United States
and Spain be settled peacefully by
craftsmanship and Diplomacy, in a way
honorable and satisfactory TO both
nations?' | will say | can see no other
way OF settling difficulties between in-
diyiduals and nations than that of
their wholesome tribunals, equitable
law, and sound, well-kept treaties.
"A bullet in mans heart never
settled the question of his life. The
mental animus goes on. and urges that
the answer to this sublime question
shall come from God, and its adjust
iment shall be according to His laws,
The characters and lives of men deter
mine the peace, prosperity, and lie OF
nations. Killing men is not consonant
with the higher law whereby wrong
and injustice are rishted and eXtermi-
mated, bat ofltimes the cause OF these
evils.
Whatever weighs in the eternal
scale of equity aud mercy tips the
beam on the right side, wherein and
whereby the immortal words and deeds
of men alone can settle all questions
amieably and satisfactorily. But il
our nations rights or honor were
seized, every citizen would be q soldier.

The president sent an ultima
tufn to Spain Tuesday evening,
and upon the answer depends the
question of war or no war. The
president believes that he has
succeeded il inducing SPAN t.
accede to his terms, which re-
quire the immediate withdrawal
of Spanish troops from Cuba and
the absolute independence Of the
island. In the meantime the
vessels Of the navy are being
treated to a coat of war paint
