INDIAN RAIDS IN MEXICO.
= Apaches and Yaquis Drive on Many
Head of Cattle.

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., December 31.-Re-
ports from the northern part of the states
of Chihuahua and Sonora tell of frequent
raids on ranches and settlements by bands
of Apache and Yaqui Indians. They have
driven off many head of live stock, which
are believed to have been driven south.
Tie outlaws are said to be led by a white
man. The Yaquis probably are members of
o party which has been warning with Mex
lean troops. and the Apaches belong to a
mart of tribe living in northern Mexico
since they were driven out Of Arizona tif-
\ teen years ago.

REFERRED TO ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Gov. Pingree's Apple alton for the Ex.
tradition of Thompson.

OOv. f1n&ree'N Application for the EXs
tradition of Thompson.
The War Department has referred to the
Attorney General the application of Gov.
Pingree of Michigan for the extradition Of
Charles ]. Thompson. now in Cuba. who is
wanted in Detroit to answer to the charge
OF forgery. There Is no case analogous to
this in the history Of the War Departments
control Of Cuba. SO it Is deemed well to
have 1t determined by high authority be-
fore establishing precedent. The officials
OF the War Department, however. have no
doubt that the Attorney General will sustain
Gov. Pingree's demand. 1t Is recalled that
that upon one occasion when the Mexican
government honored the request OF the
American military governor Of Cuba for the
extradition OF fugitives from the island
who had escaped to Mexico, the Mexican
government surrendered them upon prom
ise by the United States government that
1t would reciprocate in case fugitive Mext-
cans escaped to Cuba. So 1t will probably
be held that II Gen. Wood can honor the
demand Of q foreign government for the
surrender Of fugitive he cannot resist q
similar request from the government of the
United States. s.

The Chinese have accepted all the con-
dtions of the joint note. They are send
ing formal acceptance by an envoy, and
ask that negotiations should commence
forthwith. and military operations cease.
Iii Hung Chang is much better, although

The policy of depriving the Chinese of all
power to exercise authority is spreading
disorder broadcast and forcing peaceful
Chinese into opposition"

Morrison sends a long protest against Ger
man harshness which, he says, is Great
Sg instead of checking disorder. He ac-
cuses the Germans of harrying the coun-
try and Furnishing the innocent and the
guilty indiscriminately In order to levy
>fines for defraying their own military eX-
penses and to form an excuse for con-
tinued hostile occupation.
He also charges Count Won WalderSee
with a breach of faith, on the ground that
he gave Lii Hung Chang map defining
the area of the occupation in the prov
iree of Chi Ii. and indicated the district
beyond which the allies would not operate
and vet allowed the German troops to in
fct severe punishment upon the Chinese at

which are outside the area.

Sian Flu in the spring, and also fomenting

sion should not be seized to separate the

Eight generations of his fathers

The division of labor creates many
places for talented and high-priced
men, whose salaries range alongside
of presidents of banks and trust COM
tions. Taking the number of en-
ployes in the old-time smaller store
at an average of five, it would re-
quire, when the full complement of
employees are on the pay roll of rep
resentative large store, as many as
1000 stores to furnish as much en-
ployment, while the total payments
of salaries would be much higher than
under the small store system.
i contend that the department store
development would not be here but
for its service to society. That it
has done public service in retiring
middlemen; that its organization
neither denies rights to others nor
claims privileges of state franchises,
or favoritism of national tariff laws;
that if there is any suffering from it
it is by the pressure of competition,
and not from the pressure of monop-
oily; that so long as competition is
not suppressed by law monopolies
cannot exist in store keeping, and
that the one-quarter of the globe that
cannot be captured by trusts is most
assuredly that of the mercantile
trading world.

been very beneficial to corn, late pota-

fax and fruits; and of some value, de-
pending on the condition of the plant,
to spring wheat, oats and barley: some

INDIANS LOVE FUN.
Bishop Whipple Tells Some Stories
to Prove the Statement.
Amusing Extracts from the Veneer
able Missionary's Life story
How Capt. Jack Silenced
Jealous Exh0rter.

Few men are more beloved. and
none beloved with more reason, than
the Rt.-Rev. Henry B. Whipple. d. D.,
Ii. D., the Protestant Episcopal bish-
op of Minnesota. Since 1s49 he has
been laboring in the ministry of the
church and in out-of-the-way places
for the most part. AS long ago as
1886 he organized a parish in Chicago
and was the first to make the church
made bishop of Minnesota in 1859 al
most the entire northwest fell under
his Jurisdiction, more than $1,000
square miles, inhabited chiefly by
wild beasts and wilder men, being
then included in see which has slow
ly shrunk to less than one-third the
size. His chief care at that time and
later came to be the American Indi-
ans, who are still among his most de-
voted admirers. DR.. Whipple was a
missionary always.
The Life Story" abounds in anec-
dotes of the most amusing kind and
many OF these have to do with the red
men. The account given of all the
tribes with which the bishop came in
contact shows them to be most amen
able to reason, but far more suscep-
tible to kindly influences. 1t shows,
too, that the national government has
been the most determined and implac-
able enemy of the wards of the ma
ton.
The Indians, to whom we are likely
to deny any sense of humor, have a
keen knowledge and love for fun.
One agent who was sent out to them
was colonel in the militia when he
was at home, and he thought he
would take advantage of the fact.

PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Great Increase in Values This Year
Over Democratic
Times.

Never in American history was the
situation of the American farmer as
distressing as when the republican
1896. Business confidence was gone,
labor was idle, capital retired, farm
values shrunken, and the sheriff with
his foreclosed mortgage sales the only
active man in rural communities.
That convention, planting itself
squarely upon the side of national
honor and business integrity, nomi-
mated a man whose whole life work
was summed up in his trenchant dec
laration: open American mills to
American workmen." With Mr.. Bry-
ans nomination the issue was square
~ Joined and presented to the Amer
lean farmer for settlement, one can
didate offering a debased currency,
a cheap dollar; the other standing
for sound money, protection to Amer
lean industries, and full employment
for labor at American wages.
The vote of the great farming states
of the west elected Mckinley, and the
statistics already presented prove that
rural prosperity followed. The best
showing of the change in the eondi-
ton of the American farmer, between
the first nomination of Mr.. Mckinley
and his denomination, is a simple
statement of the prices ruling for
farm staples at each date. Il is an
argument against the abandonment
of republican policies which cannot
be met. The following table shows
the current market prices of differ
ent staple crops on June 1, 1896, and
June 1, 1900:

Contact with sick Pets.

The danger of contact with sick
pets is pointed out by the Ladies
Home Journal Dogs and monkeys
are subject to tuberculosis and are
said to be capable of communicating
the infection to human beings. A
large number of canaries that die in
captivity fall victims to the same dis
ease Parrots suffer from a malady
peculiar to themselves. The bacillus
that causes it is thought to originate
pneumonia in man. Cats have been
known to be carriers of diphtheria,
and possibly of scarlet fever and other
infectious diseases Great care should
be taken during an epidemic to keep
pet animals out of the reach of infec-
ton or else away from the children,
and at any time bird or animal that
seems ailing should be at once $50
lated.
