Vatralsky claims to speak with the au-

sertions.
The Truth Knowers, on the other hand,
claim that their religion does not concern

that II they, then, wish to worship ac-

to forbid them from doing so, a position

bear no fruit, for if he is not deliberately
cheated by the whites or does not have
his stock stolen by them he has so Cften
been compelled to till poor soil that he
has come to look upon agriculture as a
useless pursuit.
As the result the Indians who are left
to themselves are rapidly degenerating
into an absolutely worthless creature.
When compelled to fight against the
white mans food and the white mans
whiskey the contest for the Indian is a
losing one. In many instances, however,
teachers and philanthropists have inter
ested themselves in certain tribes, and
in each of these cases the result has been
generally excellent.
With little education and with profit
able fields of usefulness opened to them
the Indian has ceased, to a great extent
at least, to be the savage and has been
ready and eager to work. In such cases
they readily appreciated the fact that
it was useless for them to think Of re-
sistng the white man, and necessary
that they should conform to his tenets.

year 1S43. .Seyed Mohammed Ali being

sia with commentary on the Koran
composed by himself. He then proceeded
to make the claim that all previous reve-

him, and that he himself was Bah, the
gate through which all true knowledge
came to mortals. Disciples flocked to
him and he headed an Insurrection, but
being defeated. was executed. His fol-

from that place has spread the Babist
doctrine that has found it's latest con-

|M0HAMMEDANS
IN THIS C0UNTR
Thousands of Americans Who Now
Profess Belief in the Religion Of the
Turk, are Following in His Steps.

The fact that Abdel Karin, the Egypt
ian mystic, has come all the way from
Cairo to Kenosha, Wis, to settle the dis
putes of the Truth Knowers and to de-
pose DR.. Ibrihim G. Khieralla of Chicago
from his position as leader of the sect in
this country. has once more called atten-
ton to the fact that there is large and
ever increasing congregation of full
States.
This of course does not mean that
enough of the followers of the prophet
have come to this country to make the
establishment of such a congregation
possible, but there are thousands of
Americans of education and refinement
who have turned their back upon all the
tenets of Christianity to embrace the
faith of the Turk.
Startling as such an assertion may be-
it is nevertheless the truth, and the fact
that Abdel Karin should have taken the
trouble to travel such a distance to de-
pose DIR. Khieralla and expose what he
regarded as the errors of the Chicago
ian's teachings proves conclusively that
the sect must have assumed quite re-
spectacle proportions.
For several years, or almost since the
days of the congress of religions the So
ciety known as the Truth Knowers has
been engaged in promulgating it's doc
trines throughout the West. While the
headquarters of the society was at Keno
sha, Wis, branches were established in
other cities, even a few converts being
made in the East.
AS the society was secret in character,
however. and as the members were care
full to conceal their beliefs as well as
their identity from the world. the general

THE BAD INDIAN
Of THIS DAY
What the White Man Has Done for
the Various Tribes and What He
Is Doing at Present.

Although the average citizen gives but
little thought to the Indian, he is prob
lem of considerable Importance in
Washington, where a bureau is main
ta!ned that he may be properly cared for
and where much is BEING done every
year to better his condition. Of course it
is the general opinion that the Indian,
like the buffalo, is becoming extinct, and
this, to a certain extent at least, is true
The coming of the white man. with his
comforts and his vices, has done much
to decimate the Indian, but in spite of
all this, there are still 267,0 900 of them for
whom the United States government is
responsible, and about $4,000 more in
other parts of the American continent.
Many classified tions of the Indian
races have been made since the white
man first made his acquaintance, but it
is generally agreed that the most salts

about two-thirds of the tribes now in ex-

many of them being so little l.nown that
the public in general would even be un-
able to recognize their names.
OF these families the most important

ceived about fifteen papers. They
found me all o. h., after a 28-days
journey over the mountains ON the

Dur ng the time we were out, we
had two scraps, lost one man and
had three wounded. We had our
big fight on January 2 on Santa
Aueos Hill, about five miles from
san P-bulo.
On the 10Th we started out with
ust our company, and ran into the
rebs. Thew were so strong and well
eDtreDched that we could do nothing
with them, so we went back to San
Peublo, where we got reinforce.

and wounded two of our boys

held the position until we were re
enforced by the thirty ninth, thirty
eighth, and we also had the noun

got there and commenced throwing
the shells into their lines, they could
not stand it any lonVer, so they gave
us cheer and made for the hills.
AS we passed through their trenches,
We saw good many killed and
wounded rebels.
For four days we were without
anything to eat, except that which
we captured along the roads from
the rebels, and | paid as much as a
dollar for one hard tack. When.
ever we would come TO a cocoanut
grove We would make our dinner,
edpper or breakfast, as the case
might be, and were glad, too, of The
