Constable Breene Of Arkansas City,
got drunk Monday night, and for a
little while there was q hot time In
that old town. He went into Ben
COnrad's saloon first, but was refused
whisky. He then went to Ed Waters
saloon and was also refused a drink
there by the bartender, named
Blanchard. This seemed to throw
him into rage, and drawing his gun
he fired at Blanchard at close range,
the ball missing Blanchard and going
through partition. 1t barely
missed a man sitting On the other
side reading a newspaper. He then
snapped his gun in the face Of one OF
the prOprietOrs OF the lunch counter
in the saloon, but the cartridge failed
to explode. Before he could do any
more damage he was overpOwered
and locked up.

INDIAN ooMMrssIoNER's REPORT,
shows n Steady Advancement of the
 "Nation's Wards"

Washington, Oct. 9.-The annual re- port of Commissioner of Indian Affairs William A. Jones shows general and steady advancement in the condition of the nations wards" Education Is being pushed forward in the service and now there are 147 well equipped boarding schools and an equal number of day schools engaged in the educa- tion of 2,3S2 pupils. The average at tendance and enrolment has steadily increased for the past seven years. Of the pupils attending school 8 per cent. are reported as excellent or first class, 73 per cent. are good or medium, while only "A per cent. are considered bad or worthless, showing, in the commission CTS Judgment the value of system which can in generation develop from saVages 76 per cent. of good average men and women. Under the present regime, the large net increase of this year over last year is 1,040, The reser- Vation schools show the largest gain. Agents are now being urged to exert themselves to fill every school.
 Future developments, MT. Jones pre- diets, will undoubtedly emphasize that a regulation enforcing compulsory at tendance upon the schools must be en- acted. The placing of Indian children In the public schools of the country for the purpose of co-education of the races does not appear to meet with | much success, but fuller test of its value and practicability is to be made this year. The school plants in the ser vice are valued at over $3000000 and larger funds for keeping them in re- pair, etc, are urged Out of the gen.
 eral school support fund the Indian of flee contemplates the expenditure of a sufficient sum to radically increase scholastic facilities for the great tribes l Of the southwest and to that end ade- quate additions will be made to the | schools now established for the Pimas. Papagos, Navajos, Mosquis and Apaches at Sacaton, Fort Defiance,
 Keens Canyon, San Carlos and Fort | Apache. There are on these reserva-
 tions and adjacent territory, thousands | of Indians without any school advan-
 tages whatever.
 Special efforts for school advancement
 are to be made with the Jicarilla
 Apaches, the Southern Utes and the
 seminoles in Florida, Referring to the
 torturing and burning of Seminoles in
 Oklahoma last January the report says
 it is thought indemnity will soon be
 paid by the government to alll members of the Seminole nation injured by the
 mob of lawless whites in that occur renee and the whites guilty of the out
 rages are now being prosecuted. The | report gives in detail the work that has
 been going on at the various reserva- l tions during the year.

PERHAPS cowELL AND DURANr

PERHAPS COWEI4L AND DURANT.
 The illness of Prosecuting Attorney H. R. Durant in New York is regarded by some of his friends as being un- fortunate just at this time, for they claim it will be detrimental to his chances for nomination for repre- sentative from this town. One of his colleagues in the law business said this morning that on the contrary it would be the means of helping him to secure the nomination, that the delegates would stand by him even though he was not present to help himself Jo- seph Anderson has been appointed al- ternate to the republican town conven- tion in place of MT. Durant, and MT. Anderson is of the opinion that Durant will be nominated for second repre- sentative, Judge Cowell being the first This he thinks will be the representa- tive ticket which the delegates will place in nomination, and says that it will be winning ticket, too.-Water- bury American.

THE OCTOBER HEAVENS.

Positions of the Planets This Month
 Venus the Chief Attraction of the
 Evening Sky
 During October the moon in it's
 monthly journey around the earth
 passes near the planets in the follow
 ing order: 5th, Neptune Sth, Mars;
 18th, Mercury and Jupiter; 18th. Ura-
 nus, Venus and Saturn On this last
 date the grouping in the early evening in the southwest will be beautiful The crescent moon passes between Venus
 and Saturn and the red star Antarea is close to the planet Venus. The strong
 twilight, however, will interfere with
 our seeing this unusual grouping to the
 best advantage.
 The planet Venus is the chief attrac-
 tion of the evening sky this month. It
 is seen in the southwest as soon as the
 sun has set, before sunset, in fact, if
 one knows exactly where to look for it.
 It increases in brilliancy until the 27th, when it shines like the brilliant light of lighthouse seen on the distant ocean.
 Mars is the only other planet which can be well seen this month. It rose on the 1st at 10:41 p. m. and will rise
 on the 31st at 9:49 D. m. It may, there fore, be seen before midnight glowing with reddish light low in the east. It is moving eastward among the stars in
 the constellations Gemini and Cancer.
 It is south of the twin stars Castor and Polux. making with the an elongated l triangle.
 The month Neptune is the best sit uated planet for observation. It has | begun it's retrograde or westward mo- | tion among the stars, but moves less l than one-half degree in the whole month It is in the constellation Taurus about two degrees northeast | of the star lettered Zeta.
 Saturn and Uranus are low in the southwest in the early evening, the l former setting on the 1st at S:16 D. m., l the latter thirty minutes earlier. They may be seen throughout the month gradually drawing near the limits of 1 twilight and setting earlier in conse- | ouence. Saturn is in the constellation | Ophiuchus.
 Uranus is west of Saturn. It crossed | the boundary between Libra and Scor- | ing slowly eastward in the latter con stellation.
 l Mercury cannot be seen after possibly the first few mornings of the month in
 the twilight preceding sunrise. It rose on the 1st one hour and seven min utes before sunrise. It is drawing
 nearer the sun, which it passes on the 18th and enters the evening sky. On
 the 31st it sets seventeen minutes after
 the sun. Jupiter is invisible the greater part of this month. On the 1st it was in the evening sky, setting twenty-six min l utes after the sun. On the 18th the sun overtakes it and leaves it in the morn l ing sky. It passes Mercury on the 18th l and at the end of the month rises one
 hour and thirteen minutes before the sun and will soon be conspicuous in the early morning hours.
