Exactly Right.

The Indian Journal, always re-
cognized as the staunch defender
of the full-blood Indian citizen,
can't subscribe to the grossly
unfair idea of Uncle Sam iD fore
ing straight out extortion from
the people who alone are making
valuable the Indians country.
1t is lamentable, but nevertheless
seems true, that the Department,
not the Indian, is sticking in the
old pull-back groove and still insists
in vewing the five tribes in the
light Of a full-blood reservation
filled with incompetents. How can
the Department hope to make
beautiful and prosperous this coun-
try if they insist on keeping effec-
tive obsolete laws founded on pre-
judice and smacking of rank short
sightedness. The following
excerpt from the article mentioned
is worthy of consideration:
AS an example of utter incapa-
city of the beaurocratic government
the towns of the Territory have been
authorized and practically forced TO
organize municipal governments
involving taxation for general ex
penses and for schools. Such
taxes are sufficiently burdensome
alone, but the department also
sees fit to force the collection of a
class tax ON all the industries and
occupations of the country as a
bonus to Indian tribes. This tax
is burdensome, unjust, unnecessary
and illegal, and the department is
forcing its collection knowing it to
be unconstitutional

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.

Prof. Sanford will be greeted by an
enormous audience at the Hyperion
next Tuesday night. The demand for
tickets promises to be unprecedented,
He is always the most popular soloist
the symphony can secure, and this is
moreover the first time he has been
heard with orchestra at an evening con-
cert.
Prof. Sanford's performance of Ru-
bensteine concert will be interesting.
Prof. Sanford was not only a pupil Of
the famous composer and pianist, but
an intimate friend and he travelled with
him extensively both in this country
and abroad. studying meantime, but
the arrangement being one Of pleasure
as well as business
1t would be strange then did not Prof.
Sanfords Interpretation of this con-
certo be the thoughts of the composer
reproduced by the pupil. Tremendous
physique and power are necessary for
the adequate performance of this num-
ber and not all pianists Of reputation
attempt it.

THE RIVERS OF AUSTRALIA.
The Most Important One on the North
Coast

The Most Important One on the North
Coast.
| Although Australia, considering it's
| immense area, possesses limited river
system compared with what is found in
most other countries, result, to some
extent, of the absence Of mountain
ranges in the interior, it is well provi-
ded with coastal streams, many navi-
| gable for several miles--in one instance
| that of the Murray and it's contributa-
! ries, for several hundred miles-each
possessing characteristics more or less
picturesque. The Murray, which forms
the boundary line between New South
Wales and Victoria, Is sometimes desig-
mated the Australian Mississippi It has
| it's rise In the Australian Alps. and for
several miles flows through rugged,
and, in places, almost inaccessible coun-
try, afterward becoming noble stream,
which, after winding course of many
hundred miles, and receiving the waters
of several of the largest rivers in Aus
tralia, discharges itself into Lake Alex
andria in South Australia, and thence
into the ocean.
The Snowy river, although belonging
to the Victorian system, has it's rise in
New South Wales, receiving the snow
fed streams on the southern slopes of
the Monaro range. it's principal tributa-
ries being the Bombala and the Eucum-
wiz,
ries water a considerable portion of the
highest tableland of the colony, between
the mountain ranges of which are found
large tracts of arabic land, where the
produce of colder chimes may be grown
to perfection. After leaving New South
Wales the river has a rapid and tortu-
Gus course, and finally enters the sea
between Cape Howe and Bass straits in
Victoria. On the southern coast of New
South Wales several rivers empty
themselves into the Pacific, the princi-
pal being the Shoalhaven, which rises
in the coastal range and follows the di-
rection of the coast flowing northerly
through deep gullies, marked by mag
nificeHt scenery peculiarly Australian.
Thence, turning sharply to the east, it
enters extensive alluvial plains which
are counted among the richest and most
productive in the country. The river Is
two hundred and sixty miles in length,
but navigable only for a few miles, A
few miles north of Sydney is Broken

MENELIK OF ABYSSINIA.

A Christian Monarch at Least in the
/ Treatment of His Italian Enemies
Here is Menelk of Ethiopia, victor
over italian regiments with Calling
guns and smokeess powder-a homely,
pock- marked man, whose skin is black
whose hair is turning white, for he has
passed the fifty-year point; massive in
chest, strong in tread Though of a
clumsy gait), with keen, restless eyes
under threatening brows-a warrior in
mien and build as in fact. There is
much Of contraction In Menelik, for
tradition makes him Hebrew by de-
scent from Solomon and Sheba's QUEEN
and yet he shows no sign of the Jew;
straight nose and thick lips, sternness
of glance, with kindness in the smile,
fighter and a patriarch, Christian
king in Africa, Let no man think of
this man as ruler Of negroes; say
ra ther ruler of dark skinned Romans,
some many shades lighter than him
self, with classic cut of features, high
brows, thin lips, straight hair, purer
type by far than Menelik himself, who
shows a mingling of races, Wherefrom,
it may be, comes his strength. These
Philippians wear the garment worn lin
Caesars time, their chemma being
quite the Roman toga in form and way
of draping. They go bareheaded for the
most part, though some bind their
brows with a white turban, and bare
footed; that is, all save Menelik, who
alone in the realm has taken to Euro
pean shoes and European hat-symbols

Praise for Miss McInernev.

The Schenectady IN. ~ Union
says in a report Of large concert in
that city: among so much that
was beautiful in melody and harmony
it is difficult at first to choose; but all
will agree, we think, in yielding the
palm to Miss Julia McInerney, in her
song "For This, with its magnificent
obligato written for the occasion by
Mrs. Colburn. The PLAYING Of the
obligato and its accompaniment
formed perfect backgroud to Miss
McInerney's charming voice. II per-
feet ease and hexibility-ifp purity and
faultless intonation are the essentials
Of an artistic voice, Miss McInerney
is already an artist"
Miss McInerney is studying under
Mrs. Colburn, who has given ten
years to her art in London, Paris,
Berlin and Vienna and is recognized
as one Of New York's best teachers.
This concert was the third in which
Miss Mclnerney has taken part and
Abilene is proud to know that she is
making such a distinguished success.

J.G. Roberts Dead.

The sad news came Monday
from Hutchinson that J. G. Roberts,
formerly Santa Fe agent here but for
three years agent at Hutchin-
son, died this morning at 4 O'Clock
after a long illness. His little
daughter Lucille passed away to the
better land only two weeks ago. Mr..
Roberts had then been Ill for two
months and was somewhat improv-
ing. The shock and sorrow was too
much for the eufeebled life and he
has crossed the river.
The world loses much when such
men as "Jack" Roberts are taken
from it. A true Christian in heart
and deed, CHEEKY, uplifting pres
ence, one Of whom only good can be
said and whose daily life won respect
from all, be was friend and neigh
Dor Of whom to be proud. His hosts
Of Abilene friends are saddened today
by the news Of his death. He was
about "a years old. The tenderest
sympathy goes out to the doubly be-
reaved wife and to the little son who
was his fathers joy and pet.

SHAWNEE SETTLES PROMPTLY.
0. L. Thisler's Fire Loss Is Adjusted
Without Delay.

The security which a fire insurance
policy in good company gives to
prudent men is again demonstrated
in the case of recent loss of O. l..
Thisler. Mr.. Thisler has always been
firm believer in fire insurance pro-
lection and also firm believer in and
patron of the Shawnee Fire Insurance
Co. Twice within l2 years a fire dis
aster has come to Mr.. Thisler and in
both cases a prompt settlement was
made by the Shawnee. In the pres
ent case the fire occurred May 26 and
Friday, June /, settlement Of the loss
was made in the sum Of $4,000. 1t
might be noticed that this is the
largest amount ever paid any patron
OF the company in its business career.
Such prompt settlements, fair dealing
and unquestioned financial strength
has enabled the Shawnee to write
nearly three.iourths the business Of
this entire county. They are ably
represented in this city by G. c. and
W. G. Wyandt who have built up the
largest fire insurance business in
Dickinson county. Knowing as we
do Of this prompt adjustment Of this
loss as well as hundreds Of Others we
would advise any farmer or business
man wanting good protection from
good company through good agents
to see Wyandt Bros, agents of the
Shawnee.
