penses that would be entirely unnecessary
II the whole matter were left to the indian
bureau to manage.
To sum up these reflections, I would say
a. That it seems to be matter Of suffi-
cient Importance to commend itself to Con-
gross for immediate action.
2) That provision that should be made In
the form of industrial schools ought to lay
some stress on the elementary English
branches; and
CD That the administration Of the fund
appropriated for the purpose should be
placed with the Indian bureau, which al
ready has charge of schools in that section
of the country.
Following this is letter from the COM
mission Of the Five Civilized Tribes to the
Secretary of the Interior in which he sets
forth practically the same state of facts
and urges prompt action.

Relate Their Experiences.


A number of experiences were given by
telephone subscribers. all of which had
bearing on the methods of the company
Among those who participated were Mr.
T.. b. Lafferty, Thomas Marshall and DR.
III. l.. e. Johnson. The latter referred to
the lack OF privacy in the use of telephones
and said on this account the value of the
instrument to physicians was greatly re-
duced. He said Mr.. Bryan admitted he had
monitor in the telephone exchange, who
heard all messages and decided what was
regular and what was not.
The chair referred to propositions made
by other telephone companies to come in
and furnish a service, and said he could
not understand why a franchise was not
granted to another company, rather than
submit to extortionate charges. Reference
was made TO pamphlets which were dis
tr1buted to those present, setting forth
what one Of these companies would do, and
on motion of Mr.. J. L. Newbold a commit
tee was appointed to investigate other teIe-
phone systems and report at the next meet

An Outside CORPORATION,

Mr.. Staples said he understood the Bell
Telephone Company owned 80 per cent Of
the stock of the local company, and local
business men were being taxed to put
money into the treasury of an outside cor
poration. Henry s. Woodward was chosen
secretary and w. w. Danenhower treas
Crer.
Mr.. Danenhower referred to the case
which had been decided in court, involving
the use of the telephone in the hotel con-
trolled by him, and said the phone was still
there and was being used as before by his
guests, as 1t would continue to be used as
long as 1t remained in the house. AS a
hotel man he did not object to the restric-
tions placed upon the use of the telephone
by the company, but as business man he
thought 1t was against the interests of
business men. He said the telephone In
his warehouse was used by the clerk of the
District property yard and by citizens in
that locality. He had 1t there for thirteen
years, and there had never been any OBJ
lection to such use raised on the part of
the company, but as soon as he got a tele-
phone in his hotel and was using it in the
same way, then the company objected.
He was of the opinion that an organiza-
ton ought to be formed and an attempt
made to see If something cannot be done
in the way of legislation to regulate the
telephone company.

ANSWERS A QUESTION
Mrs. Rorer's Reply in Ladies' Home
Journal

II consider coffee, as 1t is usually made
in the American family-strong. and from
the pure bean-an injurious drink, especial-
ly for nervous people.
mo doubt the student to whom you re-
fer can study better after taking cup Of
coffee. but the new energy is caused by q
stimulant, the effects of which will soon
wear off, leaving him lower in nervous
force.
If it is only the hot drink he requires.
why not take a cup of clear hot water or
a cup of Cereal Coffee"
Mrs Rorer is one of the most eminent
| authorities on food in America. She
knows that Americans go on day by day
using food and drink that sap their vitality
instead of building it up. and it requires ar
gument oft repeated to wake them up.
Broken wrecks of humanity stumbling
along, unable to carry out their cherished
plans, are all about US. and their physical
weakness Is nearly always due to improp-
err food and drink. Coffee Is a skilled de-
stroyer of nervous strength. Postum Food
Coffee is a delicious food drink made from
selected parts of cereals that yield the
elements nature demands for rebuilding
the nerve tissues all over the human body.
If it has ever been served to you in
weak, unpala table drink, have 1t made
over again and use two spoons to each
cup, and know that the actual boiling con-
tinues full 10 minutes. Our word for 1t,
the Postum Coffee is delicious when prop
Ierly made.

THE CHEEK CASE
The Siamese Government Must Pay
for the Claim

BANGKOK, Siam, April 2.-Sir Nicholas
Harmon, the arbitrator between the estate
of the late DR.. W. A. Cheek, an American
citizen, and the government of Siam, has
decided in favor of the Cheek estate, thus
sustaining all the CONCEPTIONS of Mr.. Bar
rett, the United States consul general here.
The government of Siam advanced large
sums of money to Cheek to work the teak
concessions. Cheek contracted to haul
teak logs from the interior of the jungles
to the main streams, and for this purpose
had purchased a large number of ele-
plants.
Owing, however to a prolonged drought
DR.. Cheek was unable to float his logs and
the Siamese government in 1892 seized his
property for non-payment of interest on
the sums advanced.
Sir Nicholas Harmon finds that Siam
violated Article 2 of the American treaty
of 1856 as non-default on the part of DR..
Cheek was proved. The arbitrator awards
the Cheek estate an indemnity of $500, COO,
and declared that the doctors bill of sale of
the property in question is void.
