Hospitable and Honest.
The faauis are the most hospitable and
honest savages L have ever mingled with
said Lloyd There are two things which
Americans going into that country should
be warned Of They should not mix IN Va
qui politics and religion. The two are about
the same thing. as the Indians incorporate
into their religion their hatred of the Mexi-
can, who. they believe without Just cause
Is attempting to deprive them of their
an oppressive yoke. They Will always be
at war with Mexico. Their politics relates
only to their antipathy for Mexico, as they
really have few laws or even customs for
governing themselves. They don't need
them The Yaquis are peace-loving people
and their close observance of the Golden
Rule, which they adhered to even before
they were aware of the Christian religion,
almost precludes the necessity of adopting
laws for the prevention or punishment or
crime.
Il like the Yaqui people, and in many
ways l am sorry for them. They are sim
pie children of nature. Attempts have
been made at their education, but children
who have spent several years in school re-
turn to their reservations and live as the
balance OF the tribe in a few years forget
ting all they learned In school l don't
know that L should be sorry for Them for
they are contented and seem to think that
1t Is folly to be wise, for by their ignorance
they are happy.
When an American goes among them
and conducts himself properly he need have
no fear of bodily harm. He may carry his
watch and valuables into the heart OF the
1aqui country. and unless he Injuries the
Indians or makes light of the rel gious OBJ
SerVances he VIII return with them and UNI

traction, as / have found them through
Mexico, are also honest. but it IS the half
breed the mixture of Mexican blood with
that of the Yaqui. which produces the
treacherous and bloodthirsty offspring. The
laquiS are very friendly disposed toward
Americans and have protected them on sew
eral occasions to my knowledge"

MANY IN CUBAN FRAUD
Havana Postal Steal Develops
Wide Ramifcations.
MORE ARRESTS WILL BE MADE.

Auditors Reeves and Reynolds Detained
in Their Rooms Under Guard-Post-
master Thompson suspended-Bristow
Ordered to Cuba to Take Charge.
HAVANA, May 15.-The extent Of the
postal frauds is far greater than origi-
nally expected. Besides taking in the
postal department. the frauds seem to
include the local Office at Havana and
various other Offices throughout the ISL
and, and also to have extended to out
side points which have been used for
the sale of some of the old issue of
stamps that were ordered destroyed.
The result of the investigation at the
local postofice is the suspension of
Postmaster Thompson, who was in
stalled in April Of last year. AS many
: as six others have been placed under
the closest supervision and they will be
arrested as soon as their services can be
spared. AS matter of fact if they
were all to be suddenly relieved Of duty
it would not be possible to carry on the
postal department. of Havana. Messrs.
Reeves and Reynolds. the auditors of
the postal department., are still under
arrest at their own rooms, in charge Of
detectives. 1t appears that the frauds
ramified in almost every possible direc-
ton; even the rented boxes have been
made a source of Legitimate gain.
Every additional revelation increases
the amazement of the Americans here.
The Cubans seem to be immensely
pleased. They declare that the Ameri-
cans can no longer boast in Cuba Of
their superior honesty when in govern
ment employ.

'SSUDDEN CALL
rlrs. Samuel Luney Dies after Brief
Illness.
ENTIRE CITY MoURNs.
A Noble Woman. Faithful. Kindly.
True and Charitable. Funeral
Services To. day.

Our entire community is grieving to-
day over the death of Mrs. Samuel
Luney. She was in the prime of life
of usefulness, surrounded by loving ard
devoted friends and relatives, the SUBJ
Ject of a loving husbands faithful
care and her children's unbounded af-
fection. Death came after but brief
illness in fact up to the very evening
before her death her illness was not
considered dangerous. The grief of our
people is not perfunctory, it is with a
deep sense of personal loss that her
hundreds of friends are gathered at the
church to-day to pay their homage to
to her memory.
Martha Jane Luney, the beloved wife
of Samuel Luney, was born in La Sale
county. illinois, on July Goth, 1866.
Her death occurred at Denison on the
morning of Sunday, May 18th, 1900.
She was the daughter of Robert and
Margaret Hughes, late of Pontiac, Illi-
nois. In 1880 she was married to Mr..
Samuel Luney and to them were born
three children, Ida Belle aged nineteen,
Jennie Leora aged fourteen and Robert
Samuel Hughes aged ten. Two sisters
and three brothers survive her, Mrs.
Francis Kennedy, Mrs. Fred Fienhold
and William, John and Robert Hughes
all of Pontiac. Mrs. Luney was con-
sistant and earnest member of the Pres
byterian church and her life was de-
voted to good deeds not only to her
family but her large heart took into its
love the poor of all the world. She
was an active and efficient member of
the Ladies Aid Society, the Womans
Foreign Missionary Society and took
an active interest in the work of the
home for destitute children at Council
Bluffs. These were but the public evi-
dences of larger private charities with
which she benefited those about her.
| The funeral services which were held
this afternoon at the Presbyterian
church of which she was such an ever
present help, were attended by hun
dreds of sorrowing friends not only
from Denison but from all parts of the
county. The church was made beauti.
full by floral tributes from the Mayor
and council, the knights of Pythias
the Woodmen of the World,
and numbers of friends. The pail
bearers were Messrs.' j. P. Conner, c.
D. Miller, James Rollins, Chas. KEN.
ming, j. B. Romans, Eugene Gulick,
G. Gronau and HI. A.. Cook. The
funeral sermon was preached by Rev.
A. G. Martyr, after which large con
course followed the remains to thei1
last resting place. Our heart goes out
in sincerest sympathy to the bereaved
husband and to the children thus left
motherless, No one can take the
mothers place but through all the
years they will have the memory of hel
tender love and the knowledge that
they may we'll be proud of her vel
lived life.
