Congressman Wilson advanced the
amount of this last item, but after
wards reimbursed himself from the
funds contributed for the widows and
orphans. He may be an orphan, but
even the affirmation of Congressman
Sulzer could not make Washington
people believe he is a widow.
The meeting was not prompted by
charity, love for the Beers or anything
of that sort, but was plan to discredit
the administration, and the result is
that those connected with the scheme
are to-day the laughing stock of every
one.
Capt. O'Farrell, speaking of the SIS
still on hand, says: at will do
my heart good to send il for the relief
of the poor in South Africa"
The whole business is pathetic, ride
ulous and dishonest. Under democrat
ic management it has taken $1.116 to
put SIS where it belongs. Even after
this exposure the democrats pose as the
friends of the oppressed. Comment is
unnecessary.

ROBBING THE BOERS.
Democrats Collected Money for

S1,134.3S - Congressman SuIzer
Said: Tear Up the Vouchers"
big Wine Bill.

A short time ago, just prior to the
adjournment of congress, there was d
grand reception given to the Boer en-
voys in the nations capital at the Grand
opera house. when the British lions tail
was twisted, not to the queens taste.
Democratic campaign material was Sc
aurely bottled. to be opened and used
in platform building, and that special
vintage was opened al Kansas City amid
the plaudits of the shouting. thirsty
multitude of the unterriied. Thereby
hangs tale.
There was collected on that occasion
by subscription solicitation and collec
tion the respectable sum of 81, ,l34.3s for
the widows and orphans of the Beers
who had fallen in the war. This was a
generous contribution and would have
carried comfort to many mourning
home in South Africa. and the contrib
utors no doubt thought they had per
formed a deed of noble charity.
A statement of account, however, has
been called for. Figures are merciless
even when dealing with trust funds.
The treasurer of the Boer collections,
Capt. O'Farrell, reports that there is
about SIS on hand that is at the dispo-
sition of DR.. Leyds, who will forward
the money to the widows and orphans
of the patriotic heroes of the South At
rican republics.
The sum of $iS out of $1,134.3S is all
that is left. The treasurer. in defense
of this strange showing, says: "Mr.
Sulzer Ga vocal Boer champion. and
vocal contributor also) told me to tear
up the vouchers and say no more bout
it." Very convenient bookkeeping for
the champions of the oppressed, but a
system not exactly popular with the
American people. who have a strange
habit of wanting the books to be
opened. The truth has now come to
light.
The entertainment of the Boer dele
gates was an expensive affair. They
were not content, while in Washington,
TO outspan in the avenue and eat ierlIed
beef. Vouchers in the hands of Capt.
O'Farrell show among other things the
following items, paid for with money
contributed to alleviate the distress of
the widows and orphans:

BISHOP O'GORMAN
Administers Confirmation to An Indian
Chief.

1t is learned from Right Rev. Thomas
O'Gorman, bishop OF Sioux Falls, that
the fierce old Indian chief Two Strikes
has turned Christian in his old age, he
having received the sacrament from the
hand OF the bishop. Two Strikes was
one Of class OF $50 Sioux Indians at
Rosebud agency which was confirmed
by the bishop, and much the most nota-
bic member OF it, for during his four
score years and one lie has taken the life
OF many pioneer in the western states
and his name was hated and feared in
frontier days. Bent with age, with wa
terry eyes and wrinl1led face, Two Strikes
lsnclt at the chanccl rail OF one OF the
three churches on the Rosebud rescrva-
ton to accept Christ and the Catholic
faith. Fifty years ago no one would
have dreamed that he would have ever
approached the church OF a white man
but to apply the torch or massacre the
worshipers.
AS to civilizing the Sioux, Bishop
O'Gorman says: "Thc old Indians, born
i'll the days when the country was wild,
are fast following in the way OF the herds
of buffalo. The new generation, that is,
most OF them. arc apt scholars and anx-
ious to learn. The $50 whom I con-
6rmed were ght-looking lot, ma
jority of them being from 12 to IS years
OF age. Among these lads the form OF
old Two Strikes was strikingly COLI
spicuous one. For years at the head OF
his band of l1ideously painted warriors,
he was the terror OF the northwest.
con the Rosebud reservation there
are 5000 Indians, and Of these believe
that half are Catholics. The Indians
support three fine churches and another
is soon to be built For about fifteen
years we have been educating Indian
children at St. Francis school which is
now most important institution. The
school is conducted by seventeen sisters
and eight Jesuit brothers. The boys
are taught different trades, such as
blaclssmithing, carpenter work and
farming. The school has done much
for the Indian. When / was at the
agency the pupils gave an entertainment
in my honor, which was very creditabIe;
there were piano, vocal and violin So
los by the children worthy of their white
brothers and sisters"
