Catherine de- Medlci of France was
a tall. dignified woman Of striking per-
sonal appearance. Her manner was of
ten cold and repulsive, her language
naughty. She was never popular or
well liked. Her features were regular,
and the chief merit Of her countenance
was a full black eye that seemed to
fascinate those on whom she looked.

al legislators to be chosen il as many
cantons.
The Importance of the elections lies
in the fact that they serve as wealth
ercock to show the drift of public
opinion regarding the policy of the
central government Although the
isues involved are purely local, the
voting is invariably conducted on strict
party lines. Moreover, many coun-
cillors are also members of the senate
or of the chamber of deputies; and
their reelection or defeat is indicative
of the view their constituents take of
their parliamentary acts.

TROUBLES OF SETTLERS
Disorder and Distress Are Feared After
Oklahoma Opening.
THE DROUTH CAUSING SUFFERING
Rations - More Than One Hundred
Thousand People Are Sure to Be Dis
appointed.

FORT SILL, July 22.-Disorder and
distress will, it is feared, follow the
actual opening of the Kiowa-C -Comanche
reservation Augut 6. 1t is estimated
that fully 10000 person will have reg
istered for a chance to secure one Of
the $4,000 claims to be awarded by
lottery when the registration booths
close July 26.
Thousand of 'perons now on the
reservation, who are neither mechan-
les nor artisans and who have little
or no money, announce their intention
of settling around Lawton if they fail
to win a claim. Campers who came
in prairie schooners by the thousands
generally brought with them provis-
ions sufficient only to last from five
to ten days. Continued drouth has
caused the water to be restricted and
for days a hot wind has blown over
the prairies and the temperature has
averaged over the 100 mark
With these conditions before them
many are already beginning to grum-
bic and when this is followed by dis
appointment over failure to draw
lucky number the hope that bore many
up will doubtless give way to more
serious conditions.

DEATH OF kRUGER'S WIFE.
Former President of South Africa Loses
Worthy Helpmeet.

worthy Helpmeet.
PRETORIA, July 22-Mrs. Kruger,
wife of former President Kruger of
the South African republic, died yes
terday afternoon of pneumonia, after
an illness 70 three days She was 67
years old.
Mrs. Kruger's long separation from
her husband and combined with the
death of her favorite daughter, Mrs
Smith, last week, had completely
broken her spirit.
Mrs. Eloff and many other members
of the Kruger family were at her bed
side when she passed away.
LONDON, July 22.-"Owing to the
Sunday telegraph hours in Holland"
says a dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Hilversum, "Mr. Kruger was not in
formed of his wife's death until the
evening. The news was broken to him
by DR.. Heymans and Secretary Boes-
choten. Mr. Kruger, who had just re-
turned from Hilversum church, burst
into tears and asked to be left alone.
He exclaimed: She was a good wife.
We quarrreled only once, and that was
six months after we were married. He
prayed for a long time and is now
calmly sleeping, his bible beside his
bed.
"The Transvaal and Orange Free
State flags flying above the white villa
were draped and haif-masted. Shortly
before the news came a crowd of coun-
try girls had been singing a folksong

She Drives to Death.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 22.-Mrs. Dan
Johnson, postmistress at Rokeby, a
small town about twelve miles south
the Rock Island track within a mile
of her home at an early hour this
morning, was struck by special
freight train and received injuries
that resulted in her death Opinion
is prevalent there that Mrs. Johnson
came to her death as the result of de-
liberate action on her part. She had
had a great deal of trouble with her
neighbors, who made her the victim Of
constant persecution.

Body of Unknown Man Found Under
Bridge at Lincoln.
LINCOLN, July 20.-An unknown
man was found dead in Salt creek un-
der a Rock Island bridge two miles
south of this city. 1t was at first
thought he had been murdered, but
an investigation soon exploded that
theory. A wound on his head was
thought to have been made by bull
let, but Coroner Graham insists that
it might have been caused by some
sharp piece of metal in the undergear-
ing of a freight train.
Coroner Graham and jury examin-
ed the body and after listening to
the testimony of the section workmen
returned verdict, finding that death
came from unknow causes. 1t is be-
lieved that Graham was riding under
a freight car and while asleep or from
exhaustion lost his hold and fell.

SLAUGHTER GOES TO MANILA.
Nebraska Paymaster to Serve Two Years
In the Orient.

OMAHA, July 20.-Majo1 Bradner
D. Slaughter, army paymaster here,
has news that he has been ordered to
the Philippines for service. Major
Charles E. Stanton, now in Manila, is
expected to come here to relieve him.
August Is, Captain William r. Graham
will be relieved from duty in the Phil
ippines to also come to Omaha.
Major Slaughter is not surprised,
and, in fact, is quite willing to try a
couple of years on the other side of the
world.
1t is expected that Major Stanton
will not be able to arrive here and
take charge before September 1.
Major Slaughter will be accompanied
to Manila by John A. Lottridge, his
chief clerk, who came here from Lin
coin at the beginning of 1889.

Only Way to Prevent New Outburst of
Trooble in China.
TEN TSIN, July 22.-Europeans
here consider that the prevention of a
speedy recrudescence of the trouble de-
pends entirely upon the frmness
displayed by the powers. 1t is thought
that this fact should be recognized
in Europe and the United States. The
general feeling in Tien Tsin is that
China is in no wise overawed or re-
pentant.
Lii Hung Chang is reported to have
adopted an offhand tone toward a
member of the provisional govern
ment and to have talked confidently
of ousting the provisional government
soon.
The Chinese have recommended cut

Practically the entire country was
covered by the hot wave today, ex
cept the immediate Pacific coast and
in the states of Iowa, Missouri and IL
linois; nearly all high previous rec
ords were exceeded. The maximum
high temperature line of 100 degrees
encircles the entire great corn belt. At
Davenport and Dubuque, Ia, and at
Springfield, ILL.,, the maximum of 106
degrees has been equalled but once be-
fore, on August IL, 1881. At Chicago
the maximum of 1O2 degrees equals
the previous high record of July 10 of
the present year. In the states of
Iowa, Missouri and Kansas the dura-
ton of the present heated term is
without precedent, there having been
practically no interruption to temper
atures of 80 degrees or over since June
1S, a period of thirty-four days. On
eighteen days of this period the maxi
mum temperature at Kansas City was
100 degrees or more.
There are as yet no indications OF
any relief from the abnormal heat. No
rain has fallen in the corn belt for
the past three days and none is in
sight. 1t is of course probable that
scattered local thunder storms, which
are always accompanied by protracted
periods of heat, may fall at times, but
no hope can be entertained at this time
of any general rains or permanent re-
lief. H. C. FRANKENFIELD,
