Washington. Nov 2G.-The annual
report of Secretary Hitchcock of the
Interior Department has been made
public The report highly indorses the
work and recommendations of Com
missioner of Pensions Evans ana says
that the veterans have no more sincere
friend than their commissioner, "who
has served as an enlisted man in the
armies of the United States, and he
but maintains and defends the honor
of their patriotic service when refus
ing to ignore both the letter and spirit
of the law, he declines to permit the
imposter. whether claimant or agent.
to share in the bounty provided for the
veteran and those dependent upon
him."
The report indOrses the conclusions
submitted by Commissioner of Indian
Affairs Jones regarding the present In
dian education system. The secretary
says:
The management of the Indian ser
vice in the field and schools, while sat
isfactory under existing conditions. is
not deemed to be the best for the vel
fare of the Indians, and different meth

policy contemplates requiring the work

We are frequently asked nowadays
II man should buy or rent Il farm. If
man has teams and tools enough to
run farm, and enough money to
make payment down, we would be
in favor of buying. A man can work
his own land to better advantage than
If he rents it. Then, too. he will be
more saving while paying for farm.
He will not buy many unnecessary
things that would tempt him if he
were not trying to pay for his land.
Besides this he can make improve

expense. There is also the increase in
the value of the land, which of itself
has made many a man well to do. 1t

YUKON OFFICIALS FASTENING
TO HEAD OFF THE CONSPIRACY

I'VE expect to proceed to Ottawa at
once and will have a consultation with
the high government authorities about
conditions in the territory This trouble
may assume an international phase,
because so many members of the Sc
cret military order are Americans and
we cannot try them for treason.
I'VE heard of the plans being laid to
overthrow our authority two months
ago. but believed it hare-brained
scheme of some adventurers. OF
course. no such plot could succeed for
more than a little while, but the sever
ity of the Arctic winter may delay the
sending of strong military forces
against the cOnspirators for six
months. The mounted police have al
ways been competent heretofore to
take care of all disorderly characters
in the territory. but this affair is of
too serious a nature to be handled by
the police.
Arms and ammunition, we were
told, have been secreted in great guam
titles. Provisions have been cached at
various strategic points this side of

and through the United States TO OF
tawa. officials of the Yukon territory
are hurrying to plead at the Canadian
capital for help to put down the rebel
lion threatened by members Of the Or

these officials arrived at Chicago and
others are on the way.
That serious trouble is imminent in
the far Northwest is candidlE admitted
by three members of the Yukon De

in consultation tonight with local cap
italists who have interests in that
country. The men are d. McR. May
nard, accountant; ]. A. Tache, resi-
dent engineer, and =. Z. Mercicr, as
sistant engineer.
\ determined, united effort by a
band of at least 1900 men who have
been laying plans for nearly Il year, is
the plot. as described by the officials,
to establish an Independent govern
ment. Seven-eighths of the men are
Americans, and they have grievances
and the ability to set them forth in
convincing style. They believe they
have power to secure by force the
rights which they declare have been
denied them.

The members of the church board of
the African Baptist church, of Frank
fort, KY, have been arrested by the
city marshal for violating the building
ordinance of the city requiring a per-
NIT from the council to erect building
in the city limits. The negroes recent
ly bought ground Just opposite the ex-
ecutive mansion and the governor and
adjacent property owners raised objec-
ton to the building of church upon

permit. The church board, ignoring
the action, let the contract and the
contractor had begun work on the
church. The matter has been in con,
troversy several months, and Gov.

removal of the capital if the church is
built.

BOY PROSPECTOR.
Creates n Sensation Among Old
Miners.


People at a little sawmill east Of
Deadwood some distance, named
Blackhawk, are getting excited over
the remarkable discovery of free gold
ore which has been made by a four
t~een-year-old boy, recently arrived
from Omaha.
The lad came there several weeks
ago. and Immediately evinved a great
desire to prospect" for gold. Every
day he spent his time in the mountains
west OF Blackhawk, and he has kept
his findings strictly TO himself. This
week he showed TO a few of his inti-
mate friends q sample of gold ore that
created a sensation.
His riends tried in every way posi-
bic to get the lad to disclose the place
where the precious metal was found.
He is too young by several years TO To-
cate the ground himself so that ha
could hold 1t. and he intends to wait
until he, in the sight of the law, is a
man. He says his lind is in an obscure
place. and that il is not liable TO be
found by anybody. He does not intend
TO have a guardian appointed, as some
of his friends nave suggested. but Will
just wait. In the meantime he keeps
on prospecting for more finds.
