POkAGON IS DEAD.
Chief of the PottaWatomies Passes
Away in chigan-Claimed
Chicago Land.

Eenton Harbor. Mich, Jan 2S.-The
death of Simon Pokagon, chief of the
pottawatomieS, occurred at his home in
Lee township, Ailegun county, after
many weeks of intense suffering Po-
kagon was given up TO die two months
ago, and for weeks the faithful ones of
his tribe have sacrificed fuel and neces-
sary home supplies that the last days of
their chief might be spent in comfort.
pokagon was born in 1925 at a place
Z few miles north from South Bend Ind.
and nearly opposite Bertrand. He was
the son and heir Of the chief Of the same
name who, with the elder chief Pontenee-
bee led Il party Of PottaWatomies at the
Chicago massacre. The living Polka gon
is an old man. and he relates the story to-
day of that fight of his tribe with the
white people near the cottonwood trees,
Just as he heard it dropped from the lips
Of his father, who was called great chief
10y 800 braves.
1t has been the end and aim of Pc
EagOn S existence to get adequate rec
ompense either from the present holders
of the land or from the government for
the vast extent of territory which his
father, the warrior. turned over at a price
which it is now asserted was Woefully in
adequate.

Opponents of Senator-eIeCt Clark
Say They will Not Let Bril-

Helena, Mont, Jan. 30.-There APP
pears to be little doubt that the charges
of bribery in connection with the cleo
ton of William A. Clark as senator will
be carried to the United States Senate.
Marcus DAILY is not man who will
sit quietly down and take defeat philo-
sophically. 1t is Mr.. DAILY who has
made the fight against the senator-elect,
ana his newspaper, as well as the men
in the Legislature who speak for him,
both announce that they have the most
conclusive evidence to submit to the
Federal Senate relative to the use of
money by the Clark people
Part of this evidence, including the
$4,000 alleged to have been used early
III the fight, was submitted to a local
grand jury, but the verdict of the jurors
was that there was SO much conflicting
evidence they could not bring in an in
dictment
The men who will press the bribery
charges before the United States Senate
allege that Mr.. Clark's election cost him
III the Legislature about $25O,OOO, and,
OF that amount, they say they have evil
dence OF the use of more than 100000.

which he has addressed to the periodical
War against War expresses what is
doubtless the general feeling of soldiers
on the Cars disarmament scheme
While he has no love for war in itself,
he believes disarmament will only be
possible when all the nations of the civil
lied world agree to rest content with
what they have got and never strive for
anything more. But there is another
consideration. What would be the fate
of the inhabitants of civilized nations if
they were to deprive themselves Of
means of defense against the barbarians,
who outnumber them by many millions
Lord Roberts put the matter in this nut
shell: What would unarmed civiliza-
ton do against armed barbarism?''

that the island is now three fathoms

gum also succeeded in taking the tenn

thermometer got down certain distance
it was invariably broken. On this oc-

was found to be 300 degrees, while on
the surface the temporal ure was 81 de-
