On the question of statehood Gov
Barnes says:
"Since the passage OF the Curtis bill
changing TO some extent the status of the
Ave civilized tribes. and apparently post
poning the question Of statehood therein
for several years, the sentiment in Okla

HIS BODY TO BE MUMMIFIED,
The Peculiar Request Of an Aged and
Wealthy New York
Tailor.

Edwin =. Kelly, who has just died at
Merchantville, N. Y, aged "a, left a
will containing a somewhat peculiar
bequest. The testator, who was at one
time fashionable tailor, bequeaths
his remains TO DR.. Thomas II. Andrews,
the chief police surgeon of Merchant
vile, for the purpose of having it num-
mified and presented to the University
of Pennsylvania as a donation TO
science. Mr.. Kelly's estate is valued
at about $4,000, the bulk of which is
left TO nieces and nephews. His wife
died about year ago. DR.. Andrews,
when informed of the strange bequest
which the will contained, said:
Mr.. Kelly was a man of peculiar
ideas. He lived according 10 a rigid
system of diet, contending that by
eating so many ounces of certain foods
and drinking so many ounces of liquid
life could be prolonged and everybody
could live 10 be 100 years of age. Just
as he discovered what he considered
the secret of prolonging his life he
died. Mr.. Kelly said that If his body
was preserved it would assist the cause
of science.
"Mr. Kelly called here daily to be
weighed and the last time he was here
he tipped the beam at 70 pounds. he
was especially proud of his hair, which
hung down over his shoulders in pro-
fusion of Wilderness. He made clothing
for many old and well-known Philadel-
phians, and his place of business was

Topeka, Kan, possesses a curiosity
in the shape of a horse addicted 10 the
liquor habit. The equine tippler is
Dan, one of the team used on the pa
troll wagon of the city police depart
ment. Dan has been in the habit of
taking his daily grog fer number of
years, but the matter has always been
kept secret among the men hav-
ing charge of him. He acquired the
habit as many people have, through
having ii prescribed by the veterinary
during a spell of sickness. Under the
use of the stimulant the horse recov-
cred.
When he was given the first dose be
rebelled, and it was only with the aid
of force that ii was administered
He gradually acquired taste for il,
which grew into an Unsuitable appe-
tite. The officers continued the doses
long after the equine patient recov-
cred. Frequent raids on the joints in
the city, where allliquor found was con-
fiscated. furnished ample opportunity
for the patrol driver 10 indulge Dams

Z came TO be expected that the
hoNe was to receive his allowance of

came so accustomed TO this that he
would refuse TO eat. and paw the floor
when his keeper neglected him. Re-
Gently the police department changed
hands, and Topeka has been the scene
of a temperance crusade ever since.
The practice of giving whisky TO
Dan was discontinued; he lost consid-
cradle flesh and became incapacitated
for duty on the wagon. In order TO
test the matter his present driver has
been giving him his allowance for the
past few days. He began showing
signs of recovery, and is again at work.
Those who have watched the horse
say that he is as graceful drinker as
any man, and that he does not require
a"chaser." Within the past two weeks
Dan has commenced the use of chew
ing tobacco, and now uses as much of
the weed as the majority of men.

is one Of the pioneer farmers of Venice town
ship, Shiawassee county, and by his industry
and thrift in which many hardships were en-
dured, he now has one of the best farms in that
section.
He tells an interesting story Of when his
life was in danger during his pioneer days.
He says:
About November /, 1894, on starting To

WOLVES INCREASING.
Seeming Inability of Minnesota
Farmers to Reduce Numbers.
So Devoid of Fear That They Mingie
with the Dogs-Creatures Half
Dog and Half Wolf
Appear.

Notwithstanding the fact that great
wolf hunts are held in Anoka county,
Mimi every year, when hundreds of
the animals are slaughtered, the num-
Der of the brutes is apparently increas-
ing. In many instances they are so
devoid of fear that they mingle freely
with the dogs owned by the farmers,
and the result is that dozens of crea-
lures half dog half wolf are making
their appearance.
In this connection John Anderson, a
farmer residing few miles north of
Anoka tells an interesting story. For
many months he had occasionally seen
his handsome collie dog in company
with two female wolves, which made
a practice of coming TO the farmhouse
every night, where the dog shared with
them his food.
few days ago Anderson had occa-
sion to go to an old strawstack some
distance from his barn. While at work
there he saw a wolf sneak out of the
stack and hurriedly make off across
the field. Anderson at once made an
luNtStlRdllOI anu WAS sOOH ISWdIQtu
by hearing the whimpering of baby
wolves in a nest in the interior of the
stack.
While digging them out, using a
heavy pitchfork, there was a sudden
snarl and a second female wolf came
out with a rush. Anderson struck at
her with the pitchfork and succeeded
in driving the tines through her body.
She made desperate effort to reach
the man, but was soon dispatched.
The farmer then began in earnest
the work of digging out the young
ones, of which he found eight, there
being two nests close together. The
whelps were too young to make much
of a fight, and all but one were killed
This one was brought to Anoka and
placed on exhibition. 1t is attracting
much attention, and Anderson has al
ready refused an offer CT $25 for it.

HOLDS UP A TRAIN.
Little Seven-Year-OId Girl boldly
and Dedantly Bring. an Express
Train to a StandstfII.

Bright, pretty, vivacious seven-year-
old Melinda Adams held up train on
the Pennsylvania railroad the other
afternoon in the eastern outskirts of
Trenton, v. j., and refused 10 bulge
from in front of the engine until a
brakeman picked her up and carried
her away. Melinda said she had no
notion of robbing the passengers, but
she had heard her brother read about
men stopping the trains on the west
ern railroads, and she thought that
she could DO the same thing in the
east. She tried the experiment with
signal success.
She was in the field near the track
gathering wild flowers in the com
pany of half dozen other girls. when
she heard the train coming. "See me
stop the cars" she shouted as sho
-crawled through the fence and clam
bered up the embankment 10 the
track. On her way up she gathered a
handful of stones, and, taking a stand
between the rails. awaited the APP
preaching train in an attitude of de-
fance.
The engineer, a quarter of a mile
away, caught sight of the child and
blew the whistle, expecting TO see her
leave the track. She stood her ground
and answered the whistle by letting q
stone drive at the approaching train
Seeing the child would not move the
engineer had TO stop the train.

TRAMPS ROUTED BY CHILDREN
Couple of Migrants Are Attacked by
Two Girls Armed with
MIX Patls.

When Mertie and Annie Kenyon,
daughters of Farmer Theodore Ken
yon, of Tarbell Center, near Daven-
port, n. Y, routed two tramps who had
attempted 10 hold up the house during
their parents absence, they proved
that they possessed bravery and cool
ness. These young maidens were alone
in the house when the tramps knocked
at the door and asked for food. See
ing that the girls were alone, the men
entered the kitchen, became ugly and
demanded a number of things. The
girls, thoroughly frightened, delayed
in acceding 10 their demands. You
hear what we tell you," exclaimed one
of the men. "We want food and plenty
Of it, and that mighty quick too"
The next instant there was a shower
of milk, as both girls hurled several
quarts into the faces of the Migrants.
The tramps attempted to seize the
girls, but were driven back, and final
ly retreated to the yard, where they
stood cursing their assailants. Both
girls followed them with two pals of
milk, prepared to continue the battle,
but the tramps ran from the yard and
disappeared down the road just as
Farmer Kenyon drove home. He i'm
mediately gave chase, but though the
men were blinded with the milk
streaming down their faces they made
good time and managed 10 elude their
Cursuer. The farmer then returned
and congratulated his daughters on
their plucky action.

December 81.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The instruc-
tions sent the American evacuation
commissioners at Havana, practically
amounting 10 an ultimatum 10 Gen.
Blanco, insist that the evacuation OF
the island by the Spaniards begin not
later than October Is, and that it be
complete by December 81 next. What
the result of this demand will be is
not vet known, but ii is said that the
administration Is determined to toll
crate no dilatory tactics on the part OF
the Spanish forces in leaving the
island, although disposed to permit
reasonable indulgence.
1t seems that the Spanish side of
the commission has said that they
could not begin the evacuation of the
island until the LIST of November, and
the 2sth of February next. In view OF
the alarming state of the Cubans. who
are suffering from hunger, and the in
ability in the present uncertain con-
ditions for obtaining relief, President
Mckinley sent the instructions re.
ferred TO in the foregoing.
Notice has also been taken Of the
expressed purpose of the Spanish cap
tain general to remove from the island
the remains of Christopher Columbus
with part of the surrounding monu'
ment. II monument Is not per

eide what is, and II is possible that at
tention will be called TO the infractior
of the terms Of the protocol, although
this must be done with haste, in order
10 succeed in its object, as the removal

Green is the color most beneficial
