INDIANS AT PARIS.
American Rcdnen VIII Ee an In
tcrcstinE Feature OF the
Exposition.

The Indian village at Paris will occu-
pva space OF 20Gby leo feet. writes Fred
erick Boyd Stevenson in Woman's
Home Companion. 1t will represent
the Indian at home on his reservation
There Will be seen the wjgwams Of
skin and cat-tail rushes. The squaws
will prepare the meals in the crude
utensils. They will pound the corn in
the wooden mortars and cook the stcws
in the big kettles. The women of rank
will ne distinguished from the others
by their earrings. their jewelry, their
fine feathers and the paint upon their
faces. The ghost dance and the mar
riage dance will be performed. There
will be the exhibitions of skill with
the rifle and tests of horsemanship.
The keeper of the wampum, of the Sc
cret lodge-the chief of the medicine
men-will sit in his wigwam in Paris
as he sits IN Black River Falls, making
medicine for the safe return of his
people to the prairies and forests of the
west that they love SO well. Fifty of
the finest specimens of men, women
and children from the eight leading
tribes will be selected for the trip
They will comprise members of the
royal families and personages of high
rank in several Indian nations-the
chiefs, the princesses, the head coun-
cilmen and the great medicine men.

RIFLES FOR sHARpsHoorERs
The Present Infantry Weapon Ii
Not Well Designed for
Long Range.

The Napoleonic maxim that fire is
everything" is truer in these days of
smokeless powder and long-range
weapons than ever before, says Cas-
sier's. An EXPERT shot is no longer
is his position revealed by his own
smoke when firing from cover. Ten
sharpshooters nowadays are worth
more than so bunglers with the rife.
The present infantry weapon, how
ever, is not we'll designed for sharp
shooters.
If the sharpshooter is required to
use regular infantry ammunition his
rifle should differ from common
musket in the following particulars:
Its barrel should be thick through
zle. On a telescope-sighted gun
it need not be over "a inches long.
This restricted length, together with
the amount of metal in the barrel,
would give it stiffness, would keep it
from excessive heating, would neu-
tralize. recoil, and would enable the
man to hold steadily when shooting
from hip rest, which is the steadiest
of all offhand positions and as prac-
tical in the field as on the range.
4 1t is mistake to use high
powers in a rifle telescope. They re-
strict the field vision, lessen the illu-
mination and magnify errors of hold
ing. So far as aiming is concerned,
a power of four diameters draws a
man 1000 yards distant to within $50
yards of the shooter. and this is close
enough for murderous accuracy.

TOBACCO HEART.
Who Become Victims OF
This Affection.

"You have" said the physician "the
tobacco heart" The patient made an
sweI.: Doctor, | never smoked but
once, and that was when I was a boy"
This happened in Germantown, says
the Philadelphia Record. Both men
laughed, and the physician prepared
TO examine the patient again, SO as to
make another diagnosis. After half
hour of hard work the tobacco heart
still seemed to resemble the mans dis
ease, and the physician said: What
do you do for a living?" The man re-
Piled: Il am a tobacconist." well,
then, of course, you've got the tobacco
heart, whether you're smoker or
not" said the physician. 'All day
long you breathe in tobacco. The dust
Of it fills your lungs, circulates with
your blood all over your body. and is
digested with your food. I have had
a number of cases such as yours. and
I prescribe eight hours a day in the
fresh air. You'll find it hard to follow
this prescription. Away from the to-
bacco-laden air of your shop you will
have the uneasy, restless longing to get
back to it which the smoker, after
few hours of abstinence, has for a ci
gar. That is strange, but you'll find
it true. You have uncOnsciously ac
quired the tobacco-breathing habit,
and it's habit harder. / believe, to
break than the smoking habit itself"

tory dues of 10 per cent on duties on
imports. There was system of
i direct taxation, resting on the basis
of income, and not on valuation.
The territorial tax included all kinds
of manufactures and industries, all
branches of the mercantile and bank
ing business, and all occupations
The Industrial and commercial tax
was divided according to the popu-
lation of cities and towns, classified
according to character of business,
and graded according TO amount OF
business. Then there were five
classes of tariff. The first, with eight
grades, including merchants, whole
sale and retail; the second, importers
and exporters, money lenders, trans
portatiou, salaries of officials of banks,
railroads and other companies; the
third, the manufacture of sugar, rum,
machinery, chemicals, chocolate. ice
ETC.; the fourth, the professions and
occupations, and the fifth, patents or
new shops, factories, ETC., which had
to pay a special installation tax. If
the laws had been faithfully admins
tered no person and no article or
form Of property could have escaped
its share of the public burden. The
direct taxes would seem TO have been
extremely oncrOus. The earnings Of
merchants, manufacturers, and other
producers were subject to tax Of
II 1-2 per cent. Articles of common
use, such as rice, -four, corn. charcoal,
wines, etc., not only paid heavy i'm
port duties. but were subject. to-

Washington Letter.
(From our own Correspondent


Admiral Dewey has made up his
mind that he cannot win the nOmina-
tion from President Mckinley and
has declared himself to be Demo-
crat. He evidently hopes to COM
pete with Bryan for the nomination
and Just as evidently he is backed by
Whitney, German. Mclean and other
Democrats who are opposed to the
Chicago platform. Whether he can
wrest the nomination from Bryan
and whether, if not, he will ruu on
all independent ticket, remains to lie
seen. If he does the latter, there is
some question as to from which can
didate he will draw most largely.
BY curious contradiction, he will
probably get the votes of both anti
expansion Republicans and of the
expansion and gold Dcmocrats-men
who cannot vote for Bryan anu yet
do not wisl. to vote the Republican
ticket. The Bryan men are good
deal disturbed by the Admirars an
nouucement, although they will not
admit it. and are trying to buy him
off with suggestions that he can have
the second place OH the ticket with
Bryan. At first blush it would seem
incredible that he should accept this,
but the thirst for government Office is
a fever and it is hard to say what
men will not do when it is once
fairly in their bones. Besides, every
body knows that Dewey of himself
would never have come out for the
Presidency. 1t is we'll understood
that he has been and is being urged
thereto by Mrs Dewey, who wishes
precedence at all functions and who
would like to be ''tirst lady Of the
land" The result of this may be
that ii it be proved that Dewey can
not get the first place. his wife will
be content with the second. AS wife
of the Vice President she would pre-
cede everyone except the President
including Ambassadors, the Supreme
Court Justices. the Senators and so
on. To attain this, she may even be
willing to aid Bryan to to bring the
silver standard OH the country.
The present discussion regarding
methods OF raising revenues for
Porto Rico lends especial interest to
a statment regarding the system of
taxation enforced under Spanish rule,
made by DR.. Henry X. Carroll, Spe-
cial Commissioner. who was sent to
Porto Rico in 1899. "Customs duties
were levied both on imports and ex-
ports. There was also special tax
on the loading and unloading ofl
freight, the embarkation and disem-
barkation of passengers, and transi-

CLOSE THAT NOTORIOUS JOINT.

The license of the Short Line Theater, as the
notorious Pike street resort is called, expires
Anrll 80 and should not be reissued. The object
OF the place is not to edify, not to amuse. not to
lend refinement, but to the contrary seems to be
to demoralize the community and lead to ruin its
freouenters. An aggregation of the fouest-
moutEed women are always found there, and
while to degree these actresses pretend TO be
decent it is mere apehood, in fact mere pre-
text to decency, that the suggestiveness OF I'M
morality may be all the more effective. Again,
the booze" shop run in connection Herewith is
only help-ma to the hellish place in its devil
ish PURPOSES True, we do not believe the pro-
prietor's specific aim is to debase the community,
or to ruin our boys, but simply that OF acquiring
pelf, principally no doubt to provide lettering
place where he may sell his whiskey and beer and
have monopoly on the trade. When the joint
opened last year the Telegram was informed with
panstaking that the place would be conducted on
strictly decent principles and that it was to be
place of innocent amusement to both men and
women, but there has not been moment in it's
existence when self.respecting woman dared
enter its walls. The people, the pulpit, have de-
nounced it and begged the proprietor to remedy
it's misconduct, to exclude its indecencles, TO re-
frain from all it's immodesties, to check the dis
sipations INDUCED in but without avail. Inc
place grows worse and worse and is pronounced
the vest of anything of the kind in the state. One
minister has designated it the snort line to hell
and he hit the nail squarely on the head Our
CITY, our county can get along without the Short
Line theater much better than with it and we in
sist that it be closed when the present license ex
pres, if not sooner.
