(GULF OF ST.. LAWRENCE,
] STEAMSHIP TUNIsIAN.
October Ii, 1900.
We left Edgerton on the 1874 train
Monday bound for the Paris exposition.
Tuesday forenoon we flew along the
north shore of Lake Ontario. The coun-
try is beautiful and romatic. The staple
products are root crops and small grain.
Corn is very little grown. The farmers
seem fairly well to do, although they live
in humble houses and their fields are en-
closed with rail fences. Their fields are
clean of weeds and they take great pains
to pillow straight furrow Arriving at
Kingston, where we expected to board
the river boat, we learned they were laid
up for the season. So we were unable
to 'sshoot the rapids and lost the
Thousand Islands" We have our snap
shooter with us and expect to capture
some fine souvenirs before we return.
We continued our journey down the st.
Lawrence by rail to Montreal, arriving
there at o'clock Tuesday evening.
The valley thus far is a vast plain ex-
tending fifty miles back from the river
in many places. 1t is a very rich and
beautiful country and thickly settled.
Montreal is handsome city and has
most novel park situated on the summit
of Mt. Royal seven hundred and fifty
feet above the river From the tower on
the summit the mountains in northern
New York are visible and vast region
mostly a plain round about. It is in
deed grand sight. A great variety of
timber furnish deep shade upon the
summit, and spiral drive around the
mountain reaches the top. There is also
an inclined cable railway. The inhabi
lance are largely French. We boarded
the Steamship Tunisian at 8 o'clock
Friday evening. 1t is a grand ship,
length $40 it,; Beam SO it,; Draft % it,;
upper deck 40 #. above water speed II
knots. Board and room are good. We
are we'll pleased with the Allen line.
Below Montreal the plains reach about
half way to Quebec. There the banks
gradually rise higher and in many
places are two and three hundred feet in
perpendicular hight. Quebec is very
old city. With many curious hooks and
great history. We visited the fort on
the hill, it is 375 feet above the river,
with it's ancient guns still mounted. The
buildings stand side to the street with
gable roof and attic windows. The streets
are narrow and winding.
We hand this to the pilot as we enter
the gulf, where we expect soon to loose
our lunch. j. T. PoMERoY.

10 BE NO GRASS PAYMENT NOW
Department SO Dee .deS in the Case of
the O6areS

Guherie, o. T, Aug. 6.-According to
the Pawhuska Journal, it has been def
nitely settled that there will be no grass
payment this summer. Some time ago
Agent O. a. Mhscher wrote to the de-
partment for authority to make a grass
payment in connection with and at the
same time as the September payment
At the same time he made requisition
for money with which to make the Sep
TENDER payment. In reply, he received
word that the money had been placed to
his credit with which to make the regu-
lar September annuity payment but that
it was against the policy of the depart
ment' to pay out the money accruing
from the leasing of the pasture lands.
The Pawhuska paper says: The
Journal has expected just that sort of a.
decision for some time. The department
could net be expected to make any other
decision in view of the fact that bill Is
now pending in both branches of con-
gress, with the favorable report of both
Indian affairs committees. to dispose of
that fund in a different manner. When
the trader bill is disposed Of, then this
money VIII be paid out in some way or
other. Until that matter IS settled one
way or the other, the Osages will have
to get along with their regular quarterly
annuities"

SMITH BREAKS DOWN
Under the Strain of the Di-

Hearing Postponed.

Guthrie, O. T., August e.-Considerable
Of sensation was created here this
morning by the announcement that Win
field s. Smith, whose domestic troubles
have been the occasion of considerable
gossip had attempted to end his life by
taking a dose Of poison. Smith was ar
rested last week on complaint Of his wife,
charging him with assault and adultery.
His preliminary examination was set for
this morning before Probate Judge Fos-
ter and a large crowd Of spectators was
present TO hear the evidence.
Before any testimony was taken, how
ever, the defendant retired to a private
room, from whence shortly sounds were
heard as though Of distress. Several per-
sons including Smiths son, rushed into
the room and found the defendant in a
state bordering on epiIeptc From this
circumstance started the rumor that he
had taken dose of poison. He was TAX
en- in a carriage 70 his sons room up
town and a doctor hastily summoned.
After a careful examination the physi-
clan stated positively that there were no
symptoms of poisoning present and that
tho patient had simply undergone o
complete nervous collapse as a result of
the continuous mental and physical strain
which he has suffered the past week.
The preliminary examination was post
poned untid the defendant is sufficiently
recovered to attend.
