daughters marriage, went to Frankfort and
took out warrant for Huntington's arrest,
charging him with perjury. Mr.. Simpson

The Baroness Blanc scored a success at
the Empire yesterday afternoon after, the
audience had time to make up its mind.
The Widow song and skirt manipulation.
which came first in her repertoire, wasn't
so dreadfully wicked, after all. The song
dealt with kisses, small birds and cold bot

much ankle and shapely leg as if they had
not been worn at all. With the exception
of her hair, which is blonde, and that red
skirt lining, the Baroness appeared in the

sonality a well-mOdulated voice, clever

Wrongs of the Indians.
Washington Post


We venture to say that of all the In
dian uprisings within the past forty years
fully Sc per cent. of them have been pre-
cipitated by the encroachments of white
settlers and the spolation of the govern
ment agents. 1t has almost invariably
happened that where Indians forsook
the ways of barbarism and took up the
peaceful arts of husbandry, with the
result of making their lands valuable in
the eyes of the white man, the latter has
at once begun to covet and to invade
And it is notorious that where Indians
preferred to perpetuate their ancient
customs and to depend for subsistence
upon their contracts with the government
they have been shamefuly fieeced OPP
pressed and befooled by the agents The
facts are of common knowledge, and as re-
CARDS. the uncivilized red men, it is univer-
sally known that few years ago the gov
eminent had to institute REFORM under the
operation of which civilian agents were
gradually dispensed with and army officers
substituted in their. places. We all know
this. and we know, further, that the change
produced the happiest results. The In
dams Immediately became more tractable

HAGERSTOWN, Ind, Oct. 10.-The Ger

This is one of the most important meetings
held by that denomination and many promi-

were present. The love feast proper is cele-
brated on Saturday evening, and this is
in commemoration of the Last Supper of
the Lord with His disciples. This is an

Johnstons surprised and delighted the audi
ence with their fine rendition of classical
airs on the xylophone, and for an encore
gave patriotic selections with dash and
go that was really marvellous, considering
the limitations of so simple an instrument.
Frederic Hallen and Molie Fuller afforded
considerable amusement, with their clever
skit His Wife's Hero" When the curtain
rolled up for the second part, the much
talked-of "Pousse Cafe" a lively scene was
presented. the chief feature of which was
bevy of gay and pretty maidens supposed
to be enjoying themselves in one of the
numerous pleasure gardens of Paris. The
continuity, but not the fun, is broken by
the introduction into the ranks of the
froicsome maidens of three Germans, inn
personated by Charles Loder, Robert Harris
and Nat Fields, one of whom is the inventor
of a singing and dancing doll From this
starting point much boisterous fun is
evolved. The company presenting Pousse
Cafe is an unusually large one, numbering
forty people, and little fault can be found
with the work of any one in the organiza-
ton. The stage setting for the one-act
farce which closes the performance is hand
some and is materially assisted by cleverly
manipulated colored lights. A feature which
drew out hearty applause was the singing
of the song "Oh, Lou, How Love My Lou,
