Wiscousin's Indians.

Wisconsin has 5000 Indians of various
tribes, One-half of these speak enough
English for the purpose of ordinary con,
versation, and more than one-hal1 reao
the English language. Aside from the
Winnebagos, all practically wear 'he Or
binary citizens dress. They are fast
learning to recognize the legality of ma
terial relations. Eighty-ive per cent OF
them arc engaged in pursuits of civihzea
life; TO- per cent in hunting, fishing ana
root gathering and the like; only D per
cent live exclusively on Government ra-
tions. OF the 1900 Oneidas, the l,ooo
Menomonees and the 500 Stockbrldges
and Munsces all live on labor in civilized
pursuits. Many of the Oneidas compare
favorably in thrift, cleanliness ana ra-
tional life enjoyment with the whites III
their vicinity, and the time is not far dis
tant when they will be admitted to the
rights of citizenship.

CLOSET ADEATHTR
AWFUL FATE OF A CHILD NEAR
BOSTON,.
Terrible Struggle with His Little
Companion in the Darkness for a
Breath of Air-Wool Warehouse
Burns at Ba1lardville, Mass.
The Stronger Survives.

Two 5-year-old children, Ariel Frye and
Bertrand Davis, of Allston, near Boston,
Mass, who disappeared several days ago,
were found in q closet of an unoccupled
house near their homes. The girls body
was still warm, but life was extinct. The
boy was able to give a rambling account
of their adventure. His condition is crit
zeal, but he will probably recover. Since
their disappearance relatives, friends of
the family and the police have secured the
country for trace of the little ones, but
without avail An uncle of the little girl
kept up the search. An unoccupied house
within a stones throw Of pretty little
Ariels home attracted his attention. Rails
ing an unlocked window on the ground
floor, he entered The sti1ed cry of a
child struck his ear. He rushed to the
cellar, but the cries then seemed to come
from the floor above. Finally he located
the sound in the kitchen. A close exam
nation revealed a panel in the wall Of
the cupboard. The panel was fastened
by a snap clasp on the outside. The wood,
however, was swollen and he could not
open the door. In answer to his call he
heard the boy say: Come, Ariel, wake
up, they have come for u.s." Borrowing
an ak from neighbor and calling the
boys father, he returned. The door was
pried open and the little fellow staggered
out into the light. The uncle pulled out
the body Of the girl The little ones face
was bloody and bruised, as was her body,
telling the story of an awful struggle for
existence, in which the boy, being the
stronger, had conquered in the battle for
a position next the slight crack under the
door through which the only breath Of
air could reach them. All efforts to re-
suscitate the girl were without avail.

Hold Lee Responsible for War.


"A story Of an alleged Spanish plot to as
sassinate Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has been the
cause of some correspondence between the
War Department and the regular army
recruiting station in Philadelphia. A rep
utable Philadelphia merchant, whose
name is withheld at his request, called at
the recruiting agency and told the officer
In charge that Spanish workman in his
employ had confessed to him that plot
had been formed to kill Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee. According to the mans story the
conspiracy originated in New York among
Spaniards, who contended that Gen. Lee
was largely responsible for the war with
Spain, because he had, while consul gener-
al at Havana, persstently misrepresent-
cd the condition of affairs In Cuba, and
had thus aroused the luminosity of the
American people against Spain. The
Philadelphia Spaniard at first joined in
the plot, but subsequently weakened from
the fear that he might be chosen to assas-
sinate Lee He said to his employer that
he had turned nformer because he had
rather be called coward and a traitor
by his associates than be q murderer.
Captain Craigle, in command Of the regu-
lar army recruiting station, to whom this
story was told, after satisfying himself Of
the good standing of the merchant and
listening to the story of the Spaniard,
promptly reported the matter to the War
Department, and was directed by Secre-
tary Alger to make an investigation. Gen.
Lee has been warned.

An attempt was made to hold up the
stage running from Alturas to Reddins'

the driver, William Oonnery, became
aware that some one was climbing Oh
his stage from behind. AS the driver
turned, the would-be robber fired point
blank in his face, the bullet passing
through his cheek, carrying away severa!
of his teeth and portion Of the roof OF
his mouth. A hand-to-hand conflict en-
sued, the driver using his heavy whip
while the robber shot three more times
at his intended victim. Connery finally
succeeded in forcing the robber to the
ground and the stage horses dashed away,
carrying the plucky driver out OF harms
