PUPILS WERE WHIPPED.
People of a Denver Suburb After
School Teachers.

Denver, May 1S.-G1obeville is excited
over a school row which app ars to be an
outgrowth of the recent school elections.
Several parents have prepared a state
ment charging certain school teachers
and their principals at the Garden Place
school with inhuman trea tment of pupils.
This statement will, it is said, be placed
in the hands of the Colorado Humane So
ciety.
Mrs. Mary Gavin charges Principal
Oliver P. NJ. Butler with cruelty beating
her son. Mrs. Gavin is janitress of the
school and her husband was an unsuc-
cessful candidate for school director this
spring. Nine-year-old George Spooner' S
parents charge Miss Tillie Brinker and
Alice Richardson with whipping him ter
ribly last Monday. Mrs. Creeder says her
son George was ma1treated by a substi-
tute teacher and Max Mallich, a saloon
keeper, says Superintendent Butler used

SPOILED LOVES SPEECH.
Democratic Chairman the Victim of 6
Huge Joke.

huge joke.
The Arkansas City Traveller says: A.
D. Prescott and Charles Pfisterer play
ed joke on J. Mack Love Saturday.
The colonel was booked to speak at the
Santa Fe flag raising and was all pre-
pared for the occasion. He came down
town dressed in his best clothes, and he
was having many pleasant anticipa-
tons
AS he went to go up the stairway to
his office, Mr.. Prescott called him into
the office of the Hill Investment COM
pany. There he was told in strict con-
fidence that some of his enemies had put
up a job on him and they desired to
put him next.
The job was to be that all were to
remain quiet until the colonel got up to
speak After he had been introduced,
some one in the back part of the audi
ence was to get up and ask in a loud
tone of voice:
Mr.. Speaker, before you begin your
address, 1 would like to ask you one
question:
1t was taken for granted that the col
onel would answer in the affirmative,
and then the man would say: You are
the man who was for water at the last
election; will you please be kind enough
to tell US when we are going to get wa
ter?"
The colonel didn't go to the flag rails
ing He concluded he would remain
away and fool the jokers.

BUFFALO MEAT HIGH.
Sold for 40 Cents Per Pound in Port
land Last Week.

Portland, Ore, May 18.-Buffalo beef
and especially buffalo veal has been a
not uncommon diet of Tekoaites, and.
despite the efforts to put a stop to the
destruction of the flock of the MANY
half and quarter breed buffalo, the meat
still comes into town occasionally,
brought by the Indians from the reser-
walton of Idaho, almost adjoining Te-
koa.
A splendid six months old calf, hand
somely marked and with splendid hair
and well defined hide, was brought in
this week and sold to a local butcher
who, wise enough to appreciate its
worth, wired larger markets of his prize
and was rewarded by an offer of 40
cents a pound-head, pelt and all. The
head was not brought in, and the butch
err would not dispose of the pelt, so
second offer of 80 1-3 cents a pound for
the carcass, shOrn of pelt, was accept
ed, the purchaser paying the freight.
IF the calf had been brought in two
months earlier" explained the butcher
Il could readily have sold the carcass
for 81 a pound to Chicago parties, and
had L taken the precaution to preserve
1T in cold storage and figured with ca
terers while the meat was ripening, I
might have done as well at this date
The carcass of the calf caused no little
comment, owing to it's superior appear
ance. The pelt is really superior to
that of full blooded buffalo, as the
hair was as fine as silk and quite long,
the colOring perfect, the marks without
a b1emish or mistake.
There are several herds of half, quar-
ter and mixed blood buffaloes in the
reservation. One old Indian has 100 or
more, so the local butcher here says,
of which none are under quarter bred,
while some are full blooded, and all are
carefully bred.
A month ago an Englishman bought
several youngsters, and but a week or
so since an eastern fancier purchased a
bull and two heifers from this Indian,
both paying $50 each for their animals,
says this butcher.

SEEK BETTER WAGES.
Alabama Miners 10000 Strong, Join
National Body.

Birmingham, Ala, May 1s.-At a state
convention of Alabama miners here to-
day, a district of the United Mine Work
ers of America comprising 10000 Alabama
miners, was organized with w. r. Farley
of Pratt mines president. The Alabama
miners have not heretofore been affiliated
with the national body, since the famous
mine and railroad strike of 1893. Work at
the mines is heavy and today's action is
understood to be preparatory of a general
movement for advance in wages, when
new yearly wage contracts are signed on
July 1. Already small advances have been
granted at Warrior and America mines,
affecting 500 men. 1t is stated that the
miners will endeaVor to abolish the prac-
tice of basing wage contracts on the price
of pig iron.

STONED A CHURCH.
Polish Baptist Mission in Chicag
Attacked

Chicago, May 1S.-"ReIigious liberty
shall not be trampled under foot in the
city of Chicago, and the people who
stoned our mission must learn that all
men can worship as they please, and if
they will not learn this let them go to
Spain, where people their way Of think
ing govern"
Such was the vigorous language of
the Rev. DR.. Thoms of the Pilgrim Tenn
pie at the Baptist ministers meeting.
He had called the attention of the min
isters' association to the stoning of the
Polish Christian mission at BIackhawk
street and Ashland avenue after the
services, Trouble has been brewing in
the vicinity for some time. The Rev.
F. JachimowicZ, a former Polish priest,
is a Baptist missionary and has gath
cred around him large number of Pol
ish prOtestants and recently erected a
small frame building on Blackhawk
street in the midst of the Polish settle
ment.
At the conclusion of the services Dr.
ThOms told the Baptist clergymen, sew
eral hundred men who had been loiter-
ing about the building Joined in an at
tack and broke all the glass in the win
dOWS. The Rev. Mr.. JachimOwicZ and
his wife were stoned but neither was
struck by any of the missiles. A police
man had been stationed at the building,
because of threats of attack, but after
the services began he left his post, as
there was no sign of any trouble.

Visitors to the Sea Shore Are Prepar-
ing to Start.

Atlantic City, May 1S.-Although there
is no unprecedented rush to the seashore
just at this time and the hotels are am
ply able to care for the guests who pre-
sent themselves, there is still quite large
colony of visitors in Atlantic City now:
larger, in fact, than is usual at this time.
It has transpired that this city does not
own an American flag of proportions suit
able to be flung to the breeze from the top
of a tall pole; neither is it the possessor
of flag pole. Furthermore, the city IA
theirs have decided that there is no money
available with which to purchase an en-
blem of the nations glory. In this sad
state of affairs a patriotic resident has
risen to the emergency and offered to do
nate a flag and pole to be erected at
the corner of Tennessee and Atlantic ave-
nues, and the offer will doubtless be ac-
cepted.

PLANTERS FIGHT.
Two Alabama Men Renew an Old
Quarrel

Birmingham, Ala, May 1S.-Near VII
Iage Creek Falls yesterday, while Nell
son Cummings and Samuel Stewart,
two of the most prominent planters in
Jefferson county, were returning home
from church, they renewed an old quar-
rel about the location of line fence be-
tween their plantations. The lie was
passed, when both men drew revolvers
and veritable duel ensued. Each was
seated in a buggy, accompanied by his
wife, Stewart riding in front of Cum
mings. Both emptied their revolvers,
Cummings received a bullet in the alb
domen and died today. Stewards bug
gy was riddled with bullets, but its oc-
cupants escaped unhurt. Stewart has

Price Advanced Nearly 100 Per Cent

Washington. May 1s.-Quinine is the
latest commodity to be affected by war

this morning of the rapid advance in the
price of that drug, said:
1.-The war and the anticipation of thou
sands of soldiers from the United States

tropics, where a vast quantity of it will

Spanish warfare seems to follow Chi
nese military science in its general puer-
iHty. For instance the filling of an old
hulk with scrap-iron and putting her in
the path of American vessels is of a
piece with the sinking of bags of poison
in the springs near the soldiers camp at
Mobile. The Chinese beat gongs and
wave banners with horrible pictures on
them to frighten their enemies in battle.
Spanish warfare seems to be composed
only of malice without either force or
common sense. The treacherous blow
ing up of the Maine is the Spanish idea of
battle.
