JAILs IN INDIAN TERRITORY.

JAlLS IN INDIAN TERRlTOHYs &
About ON Par with tho "Black Hole"
Of Calcutta. a
The other day prisoner was brought
to the bar in one of the federal courts
of Indian territory. He was told that he
could have his choice of a jail or PEN
itentiary sentence. Judge" said he,
"let me go to the penitentiary. For
Gods sake, don't send me back to that
Jail" At Ardmore the space between
two brick buildings is Enclosed by walls
across the front and rear of the lot.
A roof partially covers the Enclosure.
The gable ends are open and driving
rain or snow storm vets the interior.
The mud of the dirt floors is often
ankle deep. Such is one Of the United
States jails of the territory. Under this
shed and in the mud the federal prls-
oners awaiting trial are herded by
guards, who patrol the front and rear
day and night. At South McAlester IS
the second of these national disgraces.
1t is stone building so feet wide by
about 80 feet long. The sides OF the
building are without openings OF any
kind. In one end is a door. In the
opposite end are two windows. Inc
only air that can enter is by the door
and the two windows. Men and women
prisoners are confined in this stone
building. Recently the number thus
housed was 176. The smell which
comes from the interior is such that
few persons can approach the door
without being sickened. At Muscogee
Is the third of the territory jails. A
f1re destroyed the old building in use
and new structure, crude for such
purposes, but marked improvement
on the other two jails, is now in use.
These three places, two of them with
out counterparts in the whole country,
are employed to hold between 700 and
800 prisoners, either awaiting trial or
under sentence. They are the only jails
for a population of 100000 white peo-
pie. After the first of the year the
federal courts will supersede the In
dian courts and the three jails may
serve as we'll for the Indian popula-
ton. To keep the 700 or 800 prisoners
within these "black holes the United
States pay $4,000 a year to jailers and
keepers. The course Of the govern
ment toward Indian territory has been
reprehensible in many respects. There
| is nothing, however, which calls more
loudly for reform than these horrible
makeshifts for prisons.

opening his mouth sufficiently wide to take
solid food. The doctors called the disease spi-
nal sclerosis, and all said he could notlive.
For three years he fingered in this con-
dition. Then by some friends he was ad-
vised to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He took them and there was
slight change. The first thing noted was
tendency to sweat freely. This showed
there was some lifeleftin his helpless body.
Next came a little feeling in his limbs.
This extended, followed by pricking sensa-
tions, until at last the blood began to course
his body, and the helplessness gave way
to returning strength, the ability to walk
returned, and he ,Oas restored to his old time
health.

The FulIHesa Thereof.
Amid the discomtcrts of life and the
fullness thsrof, reaching to every
family, there IS that which can so
easily mitigate or entirely cure, the
wonder is why we endure and suffer
SO much. From big pains to little
aches, which are the wear and tear
of the physical structure of man, there
are always remedies good, better and
best. The choice should be always for
best as the surest and the cheapest in
chronic or acute suffering with rheu-
matism, neuralgia, sciatica or lum-
bago, or with the minor ailments Of
sprains and bruises, or of soreness and
stiffness, the efficacy of st. Jacobs Oil
and the fullness thereof in so many
complete and perfect cures make it
stand out as the best remedy for pain.
Why, then, should we stand on the
order of going for it, and not go at
once? In numberless cases the aggra-
vations of discomforts and pains are
from delay. Why should we suffer?

THE DANGERS OF HEALTH.
French Scientist Fears That Population
Will Increase Too Fast,

French Scientist Fears That Population
Will Increase Too Fast.
The marquis de Nadaillac, a French
scientist, tolerably we'll known here
through his work on prehistoric
America" has been recently engaged
in calculations that are curiously sug-
gestive. They concern the dangers of
health. Since the memory of man runs
not to the contrary, or, more definitely,
since the late Jeremy Bentham inaug-
urated the doctrine of the greatest good
of the greatest number, there has been
an effort, tentative yet perceptible, to
get things ship-shape, to provide
through arbitration against war, TO
improve sanitation, to fell disease, to
foster matrimony and simplify exist
ence. One does not need to be prophetic
to assume that ultimately the effort
will succeed. But consider the result
What with universal peace, universal
sanitation, the Hanging of the microbe
and continuous matrimony, in no time
at all-in two centuries at most-De
Nadaillac declares that the earth will
be overpopulated and that there won't
be enough food to go around. If he is
right, then, indeed, the struggle for life
will begin in earnest, and not of in
dividual with individual, but of nation
with nation, Struggle such as history
has never known and which will re-
suit in the survival of the fittest-pro-
viding always survival there be- 1t
will be the clash and clatter of empires
and republics contending, not for prin-
ciples, but for bread; gigantic up
heaval in which whole races will dis
appear, and all because humanity is
in love with an ideal that is not in
love with it, because peace is not a
blessing and because the microbe is a
boon.

RUN OVER A SCARECROW.
Engineer of Fast Train Receives g
Fright Which He Can't Forget.

(From the Detroit Free Press.)
"The nervous strain on the engineer
of fast train is something enor-
NOUS" said one of them the other day.
"Not only the lives of the passengers
are at stake, but there is constant fear
of running over someone on the track.
An accident, no matter how innocent
the engineer, is always a kind of a
hoodoo. What was my first accident?
I shall never forget it.. If it had been
traced on my mind with streak Of
lightning it couldn't have made more
lasting impression. 1t happened one
bright moonlight night in November.
We were spinning over the rails at full
speed across the country where there
we're few people passing at that time
of night when looked out and saw the
figure of man lying across the track
not ten feet in front of the engine. I
stopped quick as possible. but too late,
of course. We had run over him and
the lifeless body was under the wheels.
We got out to look for him and found
his hat, piece of his coat sleeve and
one of his shoes, but the rest seemed
to be further back under the train.
I backed up the engine and got out to
look again. There lay the body. I

I know the man? No, not personally.
