LEAVE TO M'kINLEY.
Congressman Henderson Is Opposed
to Voting an Increase of the Army.

Washington, 2S.-When the house
met today but little more than an hour
remained of the time for general de-
bate on the army reOrga animation bill.
Mr.. Henderson Rep., Iowa. was the
speaker today. He had, he said, been
slow to catch the war fever last spring.
He had foreSeen some of the future
trouble as the outgrowth of the diff
cultieS which beSet us at our immediate
doors, but he had not anticipated that
we would be carried to another hemis-
phere 1000 miles from our shores. He
looked with aversion upon any PROPOSE
ton to increase the regular army and
he hoped it would not be necessary to
esta bliSh a standing army of 100, 900
men. He was however, in view of the
conditions willing to cheerfully support
a proposition to increase the army to
$4,000 or $4,000 men. Beyond that he
hoped he would not be called upon to
that he trusted that no provision for
100, 900 men would be made, but that
discretion be lodged with the president.
The president could be trusted. There
was nothing in this country to call for
standing army Of 100000 men. The
solutely nothing in the United States to
draw the fire of the guns of any coun-
try of the globe.
Mr.. Henderson spoke of the demon
stration of the f'kickers'' which the
country and the house had witnessed.
was fairly under way. Some kicked
at the president, some at the secretary
of war, some at the staff, some at the
adjutant general. There was kicking a
everything and anything. 1t was easy
to kick. 1t was the cheapest kind of
greeted it was the cheapest sort of ap-
DlauSe.

GILLETT GIVES UP ALL.
Turns Over Possessions to His Credi-
tors-Took But So. 500 With Him.

Kansas City, Jan. 2S.-G. G. Gillett,
the Kansas cattle man who fled to
Mexico, has turned over all of his real
estate and other property in Kansas
for the benefit of his creditors. James
H. Arnold, of the Hocker-Arnold-W Wood
son Brokerage company, is the man
who brought about this concession and
Mr.. Arnold was mighty pleased when
he landed in Kansas City from Old
Mexico, yesterday, with Gillett's power
of attorney in his pocket.
successful trip Mr.. Arnold smilingly
said. Il got what 1 went after. Nego-
tiations now pending, which are certain
to terminate successfully, will turn over
all of Mr.. GiIlett'S property to his cred
itors and Mr.. Gillett, himself, will be
back to his home in Woodbine within 80
days. He will not be prosecuted. Mr..
Gillett gave me power OF attorney to
dispose of his property not covered by
the cattle mortgages, to go as far as it
will in paying his creditors. This power
of attorney covers some six or eight
different tracts of land in Morris, Dick
inSon and Marion counties, Kan. Some
of it is incumbered, but the equities in
it all are worth at least $4,000. 1 will
convert all this into cash as speedily as
1T can be done and turn the money over
to Gillett'S creditors.
'"This does not cover Gillett's home.
This and his principal barns and build
ings are located on a piece of land
which has always been his mothers,

Chihuahua and was given credit for ST.
600 in Mexican money-two dollars for
one of the American money. 1 don't
believe a word of the stories of his
taking thousands and thousands of dol
lars with him or receiving large
amounts since he has been there. There
is nothing in those stories.
"Gillett claims that the beginning of
his shortage was caused by transac-
ton he had with Mr.. Anderson at the
stock yards in this city. when he lost
$50, 900 on one large bunch of Texas and
Mexican cattle. He also says that he
lost several thousands of dollars
through a commission firm in which he
was interested, being indebted to him.
I'm my opinion" said Mr.. Arnold,
"Gillett is not guilty of as much wrong
doing as was at first supposed. He him.
self says that there is very little, if any,
double mortgaging of cattle. He says
the reason why many mortgages did
not find their cattle was because certain
parties who first began the cattle grab
bling took cattle they were not entitled
to; that they have now more cattle
that their mortgages call for. There
fore, the cattle called for by the other
mortgages are short. Gillett declares
there has been no forgery in any of his
transactions.

LAST OF FIVE TRIBES.
The Cherokees Have Surrendered and
the Creeks Will Soon Do So.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The agreement
concluded at MuSkogee, /. T., on jan
uary IA, between the Dawes commission
and a commission from the Cherokee
nation providing for allotmentS of land
and other questions and general intro
duction of the Indians into United States
citizenship has been sent to the senate.
Agreements with three of the tribes al
ready have been put into effect, the
SeminOles, ChOctaS and ChickaSaWS-
The Cherokee agreement makes the
fourth submitted for ratification and the
only one of the five nations now re-
naming to treat with the commission
is the Creek, with which negotiations
have been resumed.
The Creeks commission once conclud-
ed an agreement but the people rejected.
it some weeks ago by a majority of 152
votes Their chief objection, it is said,
was the provision for selling publicly
the proceeds to go to the Indians-of
all surplus lands over the $50 acres
allotted each Indian. The Indians want
all the lands allotted and none sold and
this point is likely to be conceded, in
which case the negotiations with all the
famous five Indian nations probably
will be speedily and gratifyingly com
pleted. One clause in the Cherokee
agreement which has escaped general
notice disposeS of race issues in the
school question. 1t provides that money
for school purposes within the Chero-
kee limits is to go for the education of
the children belonging to all classes of
citizens residing in the Cherokee ma

A TRAVELLING SALESMAN
Gives Light Praise to the Cooks ON

Soon after the Symns Grocer Co. Of
Atchison, Kan, for whom I travel, put
Postum Cereal Food Coffee in stock,

of coffee and began using Postum.
OF course, I had trouble to get it pro-

in a slipshod kind of way, and Postum

long time for it don't have the right

1 was formerly very seriously trou-
bled with indigestion and frequent at
tacks of sick headache. 1 had thought
for a long time that the trouble was
caused by coffee, but never could ex-
actly bring myself to get away from

place so beautifully that 1 never have
missed the coffee, but have been very
glad to miss the troubles. I am de-

IS IT DURABLE
A Question Often Asked Dy These
Afflicted With Piles.

Am1cted with R1IeS-
Is a strained joint durable? local
Inflammation durable? OF course, if
properly treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with
piles and ask some old chronic who
has always persisted in the wrong treat
ment and naturally discourages them
by telling them that their case is hope
less.
They in turn discourage others, and
thus a disease that can in every case be
cured by careful and skiIful handling is
allowed to sap the energy of thousands
who might free themselves of the trou-
BILE in few days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most
aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an

Inflammation and stops the aching or
itching at once
Thousands who had resorted to ex-
pensiVe surgical operations have been
cured by Pyramid Pile Cure-in a num-
Der of instances persons who had spent
months in a hospital under a specialist.
1t is a remedy that none need fear to
apply even to the most aggravated,
swollen and inEamed hemorrhoidal
tumors.
If you are afflicted with this stubborn
disease you can master it and master it
quickly.
This remedy is no longer an expert

increase in the death rate of more than
two in each thousand since Tammany

FIRE AT INSANE ASYLUM
Destroys the Pumping Station and
Creates a Water Famine.

Fire broke out in the building used
as a pumping station at the insane asy-
lum, last night about o'clock and the
structure was destroyed.
The building was built entirely of
wood and was situated a half a mile
north of the main buildings. The 1irni-
ted means for fighting fire made it i'm
possible to even check the flames and
the building was burned without even a
drop of water being thrown upon it.
The burning of the plant placed the
institution in a bad plight for water as
the supply all comes from the pumping
station. Without water the buildings
cannot be heated, lighted nor the cook
ing be done. The main pipes of the city
waterwOrks run through the grounds
but although it has been repeatedly
suggested that connections be made
with them for use in case of emergen-
cy, nothing has ever been done and the
entire institution depends entirely upon
the supply of water from the one pump
ing station.
The boilers and pumps were not in
jured beyond repair and it was hoped
that the pumping might be commenced
again by night after the few repairs
were made.

These offices transact government busi-

follows: For the province or havana,
