PRAYING FOR HER
In the Interim a Young Woman Is
Dying

Another case of a young woman being
made the possible victim of the faith cure
farce was brought to the attention OF the
authorities yesterday. Health OFFICER
Powers and Humane Officer Clark inves-
t!Eated the case, but did not take any
action. The sick woman Is a young Ger
man, and her name, according to her state
ments, Is Annie Pehngee. but as she Is out
Of her head most of the time this Is posi-
| bly, incorrect. She Is a member of the Cos
pei tabernacle, the belief Of the members
being that prayer for divine relief is the
most efficacious method Of curing sick
ness. medicine being with them barred.
The woman has been Ill for seven or eight
weeks, and DR.. +. T.. Yoakum stated that
she has subacute Inflammation of the
BRAIN The members of the Gospel tab
ernacle learned of her sickness, and they
sent her to the house of a Mrs. Frazier,
on West Adams street, where the sick
woman was kept for three weeks, but Mrs.
Frazier had her removed to the lodging
house at 4N North Beaudry avenue, con-
Quoted by o. d. Harmon. The rent of
the rooms was paid for one week, and on
Thursday woman, also a member Of the
tabernacle, was engaged to act as attend
ant to the sick woman.
The patient raves and has been growing
weaker every day apparently, but still
nothing more has been done for her than
to pray for her recovery. A Mrs. Harvey
OF Edgeware road has principal charge Of
the SICK woman, and she and other men,
bers OF the congregation call at her room
several times each day and pray for her
recovery. DIR. Yoakum was called three
times to see the woman. He sail two
weeks ago that unless she was healed by
the miraculous power of God she would
be dead within two weeks. According to
this prophecy, she should be dead now. as
that miraculous power has not been in
evidence as yet. The woman said yester-
day that she wanted medicine and felt that

ANNUAL REPORT OF BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS
Evidence Of Steady Progress in In.
dustria1 Pursuits and in
Education.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The TWEEN
ty-ninth annual report of the Board
Of Indian Commissioners of which Mer-
rill f. Gates is Chairman, has been
submitted to Secretary Bliss. 1t says
that in the general condition of the In
dams no important changes have oc-
CURED, but there is evidence of steady
progress in industrial pursuits and in
education. The only collision during
the year was between a Ute hunting
party, in Colorado, and the civil Off
GERS, who attempted their arrest.
The critical situation of the Indians
of Aqua Caliente reservation. in South
ern California, has, the report says,
given them ard their friends much anx-
iety Persistent efforts have been
made for several years to eject them
from their homes, which they have
owned for centuries, and their rights
having been brought before the court
the case was decided against them. An
appeal to a higher court was taken.
The Navajo Indians have also been
subjected to much annoyance by at
tempts to drive them off their grazing
lands by an oppressive system of tax
alton.
The board views with satisfaction
"the firm stand of the President in sup
port of civil service reform and the
application of the order prohibiting re-
movals without cause to the Indian
service. Belief is expressed that the
placing of the Indian agents themselves
under the civil service would be a great
boon to the service.
Considerable progress has been made
In irrigation work during the year. The
case of most urgent need for future de-
velopment in this line, it is stated, is
that of the Pima and Papago Indians
of Arizona. whose water supply for IT.
rigating purposes was cut off seven
years ago by the extension of the Flor
ence Canal.
The board recommends liberal provis-
ion for farmers and field matrons, and
for supervisor of irrigation and SUI
perintendents of constructed bitches.
