Of the State Insane Hospital at James
town. BY experiments in the furnaces
there methods of burning the native lig-
mite coal have been so perfected that in
stead of evaporating one pound Of water
with four pounds Of fuel. but two pounds
are required. Over LOCO tons of ignite
have been burned at the asylum this win
ter, and at a saving of about 5000 as
contrasted with the hard coal prices
Ignite exists in ineNhaustible quantity
along the Missouri. north of Bismarck and
Mandan. At Mandan the farmers who
mine it sell il at 20 cents ton. and il is
now delivered in any corner of the state
at about 81. Generally speaking, two

some of the largest deposits In the state

IN THE CHI URCHE S

Efforts will be made tomorrow in most
of the Epworth Leagues and Sunday
schools of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
not only in this city, but throughout the
United States, to raise about $1oO,OOO for
the purpose of paying off the debt of the
missionary society of Che denomination. 1t
is estimated that If the Sunday schools
would contribute an average of only cents
per member the sum realized would more
than pay $4,000 of the debt Rev DR.. E.
A. Schell of New York, general secretary
Of the Epworth League has written a let
ter to the Epworth Leaguers here, in which
he says:
Look up, lift up. pay up that is the mot
to of the Epworth League and the supreme
missionary duty of the hour. Let us paw
500 600 of the debt ourselves. We are the
trusted heirs of the great Methodist estate,
Let US pay off the missionary debt, and
then there will, be no troublesome claims
against the estate when we come into the
possession of our inheritance. Besides. we
shall thus clear the way to raise 81 500 600
for missions this year and next, and for all
the years to come"

A Good Old Indian in Sore Distress.

Good Old Indian in Sore Distress.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Chief Simon Pokagon, last of the Potta-
Wattomies, who is in sore distress and who
has appealed to the white people for aid,
deserves all that white men, and especial
Iy Chicagoans, can give him. His house at
Lee, in Allegan county, has burned down,
and with it all the papers by which the old
chief hoped to get justice from the govern
ment for his people.
Old Simon was always a friend of the
white people, and so was his father, Leo
pold Pokagon. Simon is still friend of
the white man, but the white man seems
to have forgotten him. Few men now alive
remember the day in 1893 when the elder
Pokagon signed away his right and the
rights of his tribe to vast tracts of land
which are immeasurably valuable today.
Pokagon agreed to go west of the Missis-
sippi, but q part of the tribe residing In
Michigan was permitted to remain owing
to their religious creed. This part Of the
tribe was made up chiefly of Pokagon's
band, numbering about go. These con-
tinued to live in Michigan, and it was the
surviving members Of the band who. with
old Simon Pokagor, recently brought suit
to recover their proportion of the annu-
tiles due them from former treaties. Polka
gon Is now seventy-three years old.
