No Immediate Trouble With the
Creek Indians Anticipated.
Elk AGG GER TED RUMORS

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, January ga staff
correspondent of the. Star; sent into the
Creek country to Investigate the trouble
among the Indians, wires today as follows:
MUSkOGEE. I. T.. January 26.-That the
situation regarding the Creek Indian up
rising has been somewhat exaggerated there
can be no doubt. 1t Is true the Indians are
restless, but so far no violence has been
done, and 1t is questionable if shot will
be fired. However the Snake band is well
organized, and if whisky should get among
them or some deputy become indiscreet
there might be some trouble. But general
uprising at the present time is out Of the
question.
The presence OF the United States troops
at Henrietta is bound to have a good eff
fect not that they necessarily will be need
ed to do any actual fighting, but by being
there the Indians, who have taken crazy
Snakes word as gospel will be convinced
that the President Of the United States has
not given the crazy Snake authority to
make Creek laws. as he has been claiming
Crazy Snakes Claims.
Probably the most important feature of
the situation today is the rumor regarding
VIM. A. Jones, commissioner of Indian At
fairs at Washington.
Crazy Snake contends that when he was
last In Washington he called upon Mr.
jones and asked him for relief from the
alleged unjust terms of the Curtis act. He
asserts Commissioner Jones told him to re-
turn home, and. that the Greeks might
make their own laws as heretofore. Snake
not only insists that this is true, but as
serts he has signed letters from Jones to
prove his claims. However, no one is known
to have seen these letters.
United States Marshal Bennett was busy
today getting provisions and supplies to-
gether preparatory to searting tomorrow
with about twenty deputies to join the SOL
diers at Henrietta . .Lt
Bennett says his mission is to fight, if
necessary, but principally to convince the
Indians that Snake has no authority from
the federal government to make laws, and
that Snake and his followers are violating

attempt to enforce the old laws of the

MAY 1 inquire who does me such
honor?"
"Never mind my name. I will meet
you here every morning"
Thereupon the strange girl handed
her wheel to an attendant and en-
tered a luxurious closed carriage,
which had a coachman and footman
in full livery, and dSove off.
The manager of the Velodrome
was questioned, but could give no in
formation as to the identity of the
young woman, as a servant had ar
ranged for the lady's riding daily,
paying handsomely for the privi-
lege.
Since that day the girl has been at
tending faithfully, rain or shine, and
is fast growing chummy with "Jins
N.Y." though when he questions her
or tries in any way to discover who
she is she grows sullen and leaves
abruptly.
Naturally this has caused consider
able gossip among the habitues of
the track, and some have offered to
follow the carriage and find where
the girl lives, but Jimmy" has
threatened to break the head of any,
body who tries to spy on her.
She seems to be about "a years old,
is of medium stature, refined, ath-
letic and of surprising beauty. Ac-
cording to experts she rides the
wheel as no other woman ever did.
From the fact that her maid mad
vertently twice called her princess"
and occasionally addresses her in
Russian, the Parisians incline to
think that she may be the natural
daughter OF Grand Duke Alexis, one
of the czar's uncles, the same young
princess about whom so much was
printed three years ago, who lives in
Paris in great splendor and proud
isolation.

ALCOHOL AND WOMEN,
Drinkers Are Increasing and
Tells Why This Is So,

l think we may take it for granted
that drunkenness is on the increase
among women, and that not only
among the poor, but also to an alarm
ing extent among the we'll to do. And
We may the more readily do so, as, in
answer to an invitation from the Char
1ty Organization society, a meeting
was held in the Royal United Service
institution on the goth of last month
to consider the question of intemper-
ance among women, and to suggest
some remedy for the evil; and it was
then given as the opinion of the ma
jority of the speakers that intemper-
ance was greatly on the increase
among women.
That such is the case witness the
provision that is being made for the
reception of the criminal inebriates
into reformatories that are being es-
tablished in order to carry out the re-
quirements of the inebriate acts. In
those already opened there is accom-
mediation for about so men, and for
about 252 women, or in the proper
Der of convictions under the act in
1899 were two males and 90 females.
Again, in certified retreats there is
provision for 131 men and ia wom-
en-. And in the recent epidemic of poi
soning among beer drinkers in Man
chester and its neighborhood the ma
jority of the victims have been
women.
Now, sir, why is all this? Why are
so many women becoming drunkards?
O First, perhaps, to put it broad
ly, the increasing independence of
women may be a factor; i. e., women
during the last 30 or 40 years act more
than formerly according to their own
discretion; they are by common con-
sent, or, if not by consent, yet by GUS
tom, accorded more liberty, liberty
which it seems some of them proceed
to abuse.

this independence engenders there is
often the element of failure or over
nerve strain, and women, too weak
in many instances to bear the strain.

(3) The anXieties connected with
the home and children, especially
where to these are added, it may be,
husbands neglect, or the brutality
of husband who drinks.

"What is to" asked Mr.. Moody.

''What is it?" asked Mr.. Moody. |
''It is about a lost sheep"
Two days later, in Edinburgh, they
held a great meeting in the Free AS
sembly hall. AS DIR. Bonar finished,
Mr.. Moody leaned over the pulpit and
asked the singer if he had not solo
for the occasion. The thought of the
verses he had read in the penny paper
came to Mr.. Sankey's mind, and, OPEN
ing his scrapbook, in which he had
pasted the clipping, he placed it before
him on the organ, and, after moment
of silent supplication, struck full
chord and began to sing. And note
by note came the now famous song.
He composed it as he went along. What
he sang was the joy that swelled in
his own soul, hope that was born, the
love for those who needed help. Thus
he finished the first stanza.
Then, as he paused and played few
chords, waiting to begin again, the
thought came to him: Can | sing the
second stanza as l did the first? Can
I remember the notes?" And concen-
trating his mind once more for the eff
fort, he began to sing. So he went on
through for five stanzas and after the
services he put the melody in music.

The boy was unconscious that he

Jimmy turned, saw the girl and
increased his pace, smilingly conf

he might he could not leave the girl

Finally the trainer, fearing that
Michael would be unfit for his after
