Checotah was the son and only child
of the chief Of the Delaware tribe, and
from his boyhood he had given prom
Use of being a great leader OF his peo-
pie. In using the bow and arrow none
could compete with him; in spearing
fish while they swan about in the deep
blue waters Of Sulphur creek, no hand
was so unerring as his. In all the tribe
none was so swift on foot as this dar-
ing son OF the old chieftain. This young
brave would chase a deer and capture
it without the aid Of weapons, by fol-
lowing it until it became his prize from
sheer exhaustion.
Chaliska. the second chief Of the
tribe. had an only daughter. Sala was
his only child. She was beautiful and
as graceful as the plant willows which
she wove into baskets, The good feel
ing between the two families had ever
been secure. but soon 1t was to be
welded more firmly by the union OF
these two children OF the ruling chief
tains. AS was the usual custom of the
tribe,a long series of amusements were
to be INDUCED in during the month
prior to the marriage. The first was
to be a grand hunt along the shaded
banks and the wooded hills Of this
beautiful stream. The young men were
impatient for the hunt TO begin. and
finally, headed by their fiery and i'm
petuous leader, Checotah, they started
down the creek and were not u OF
sight OF their camps when they saw 2
deer on the brow OF the hill a short
distance above the falls. The deer was
a fine big buck. He started OF to-
wards the falls, followed in swift pur-
suit by the nimble footed Cheeotah.
Upon reaching the falls the deer pick
ed its way around on some narrow
shelving rocks overhanging the canon
below. Cheeotah undertook to follow
the same dangerous route, when his
footing gave way, and the young man
was precipitated to the deep gorge be-
low. alighting on the rough powders.
His body was horribly mangled. In
stantly the death cry was raised by
the Mortified young braves. and upon
reaching his body they found it bruis-
ed. bleeding and Quivering mass of hui
man flesh. The grief of the old chief
tain. when he learned that his son,
the pride of the Delawsres. was a

but between a Is per cent duty and
free trade as q constitutional right
going necessarily and Instantly wher-
ever new land may be acquired, there
is the worldwide difference between
reserving full discretionary power to
deal with the new possessions as their
varying interests and ours may re-
quire and leaving no discretionary
power in congress whatever. And
this is the real issue which has been
forced by the attitude of the minority
in congress.
"The country is starting out on a
new departure and on a new expert
ment and it is of the highest impor-
lance, for our own safety as well as
for the welfare of the new peoples
who have come under the flag, that
we should leave ourselves free to deal
with each case as its own merits de-
mand.
The partisans who sought to put
the president and congress in a hole
have, perhaps unconsciously, dug n
pit for themselves. They will find
that they have taken n position which
would stop them from carrying out
the policy they have proposed for the
disposition of the Philippines. But as
i do not wish now to discuss the mat
ter in its broadcast aspects or treat it
in a partisan spirit | do mo- pursue
this point. 1t is enough for the pres
ent 10 say our contention that the
constitution does not by it's force
extend over the new possessions with
out legislative act is in harmony with
the general tenor of judicial decision
and Legislative action from the acqui-
sition of Louisiana down to this time.
The republican party had it's birth
in an issue very like that which is now
presented. The Calhoun doctrine was
that the constitution, by its W
force, carried slavery into the terri
tories Of the United States. The re-
publican party sprang into being from
the uprising of the public conscience
against hat doctrine. One of the res
olutions of the Chicago platform of
1860 on which Abraham Lincoln was
elected president was I'm these words:
That the new dogma that the con-
stitution Of its own force carries
slavery into any or all of the terri
tories of the United States is a dam
gerous political hercsy at variance
with the explicit provisions of that in
strument itself, with contemporaries
Gus exposition and with Legislative
and judicial precedent, is revolution
airy in tendency and subversive to the
peace and harmony of the country
1.-The political heirs of those who
put forward the dogma that the on
stitution of its W force carried
slavery into the territory of the
United States now maintain the dog
ma that the constitution OF its own
force carries free trade even into the
new island territory Of the United
States without any Legislative action.
1t is an interesting circumstance that
in this new epoch of our history the
republican party is again battling for
a principle kindred to that which gave
it birth"

Disease Is Spread.
1t would seem that people Will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread Of that dire epidemic, small
poX, throughout different sections Of
the country has been traced by physl-
clans and sanitarians in many instances
directly to the moldy and rotting layers
Of paper and paste which W the
walls Of many houses. The practice Of
laying layer after layer of paper on a
wall, using common -four paste, is espe-
cially calculated to create homes for
disease germs. People could not do
more to effect such a result IL they
tried. The rotting vegetable matter
affords caves from which are ready to
dart forth the infection at every oppor-
tunity. There is no excuse for this
practice, as walls and ceilings can be
coated with a pure, clearly and SAM
tary material like Alabastine, for in
stance, at no greater expense. Alabas-
tine Is n rock-base cement, which In
corporates itself with the wall or cell
ing. 1t Is easily applied, comes ready
to mix with cold water, requires no
washing or scraplng before renewing
or retinting, Is beautiful, long-lasting
and safe.
For walls that have been infected,
nothing Is equal to Alahastine as n
disinfectant TO render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more habit
able.

CHILD FROZEN TO DEATH.
Sad Fate of a Little Girl In the
black Hills.


Deadwood, S. D., March S.-The pop
ulation of Hill City has been greatly
stirred up over the terrible fate of a
little daughter of one of its leading
citizens, George Coates. Saturday aft
ernoon the little tot, about ) years of
age, wandered from home and was
not found until the following day.
The mother of the child missed her
o o after the noon meal, but think
ing she had gone over to a neighbours
TO visit with other children, she did
not become alarmed. At supper time,
when the child made no appearance,
the mother Immediately suspected
that the girl had wandered away and
got lost, so searching parties were
formed and search was continued I'M
til long into the night, but without
avail. The quest was continued the
following day and several miles from
the ground that was covered the pre-
vious night the little one was found.
She had wandered over mountains and
gulches in one direction. When found
her little face, limbs, hands and body
were benumbed by the cold and were
no longer sensitive to pain. The par
ty started Immediately for home, but
the child died before home was
reached.
