Belle Fellows.

A dispatch from Niobrara last night say 81:
Chaska, the Santee Indian who. ten years
ago. married Cora Belle Fellows, WASH
ington girl. cut his throat in jail here today
while awaiting trial for harness stealing.
He cannot recover.
At the time of the marriage of Miss FED
lows to Chaska. in April, 1855 she was
teaching an Indian school near Pierre,
Oak. He was then known as Sam Camp
bell and was a worthless Indian known as
a common thief among his tribe. Ii WAS
the woman who did the counting. and she
had a hard struggle to gain The Indians
consent to marry. She said her object was
to reform and ciVilize Chaska.
The couple lived to gether about three
years, when the savage eloped with a
squaw. His wife then left for southern
Nebraska, where she called herself Mrs.

1t is doubtful if the Columbia Theater
has ever held a larger or more enthusiastic
audience than that which attended the May

pupils last night. The first part of the pro-
gram consisted of the GROWING of the
Queen of May and other incidental queens
that are always to be found on a May ball
program and their maids of honor, this be-
ing followed by a grand march that was
very attractive. Those who took part in
this feature were Edith Luckett Mildred

Mr.. Fitzgerald (Mass.) said he was one
OF the six democrats whom the Missouri

democratic party. The revenue bill was in
some particulars not strictly in line with
democratic principles. but he had voted
for 1t as an emergency measure, necessary
IN this critical period. and he had supported
1t just as the member from Missouri and
all democrats had supported the $4,000 600
defense bill. which was not technically DEM
ocratic, just as democrats had supported

COAL is CONTRABAND
q. S. Warns Powers That Coal YES
sells Will Be Seized.

Washington, May 24.-The United
States is about to take up a novel and
somewhat startling position concerning
the selling and delivery Of coal in time
of war in open sea.
It is very well known that Admiral
Cervera's squadron is on the verge of a
coal famine, and that two British col
liers are endeavoring to get to it's re-
lief.
Notice has been given to all the pow
ers, that, pending the present hostili-
ties, the United States will not only
hold coal contraband of war, but ves-
sells carrying it will be regarded as alien
enemies. In other words, if the vessels
of the fleet off Cuba or in West Indian
waters discover a collier cruising that
cannot give a very clear account of
herself no matter what the flag she is
flying, she will be taken prisoner and
the ship and cargo Hbeled as any Span
fish vessel would be, and she is liable to
be fired into and sunk if discovered out
side of the international limit at sea
The British government was disposed
to consider this new construction of in
ternaI law as being somewhat drastic,
as the owners of the colliers now hunt
ing Admiral Cervera's fleet declare the
contract with Spain for coal was made
before war was declared.
''It matters not said Stanton, fleet
captain of the West Gulf squadron;
