WAS UNCONSCIOUSLY ENGAGED.

John P. Altberger. Denver manager
of the Western Union Telegraph com
pany, has often sighed for a lodge in
the wilderness. and, to crafty his long
ing, has cultivated a friendly relation
with the Ute Indians around Ignacio,
Colo. He now wishes that he had never
seen an Indian, and will try to pro-
tect his eyes from the sight of one for
years to come, for he has come under
ban so severe that his blood may
some day pay for an insult to the rem
nant of once powerful tribe
1t was not intentional, but the fact
committed, and no authority that the
redskins recognize can alter the i'm
preston that a white man has been
making sport of their finer feelings.
Buckskin Charley contends that Alt
berger is legally betrothed to his pretty
young daughter, Pa-ba-a-Gat, known
in the fluent Queens tongue as Fanny
Buck, and he will not allow any at
tempt to controvert that assertion.
Altberger was an unwilling and limo
cent victim, for he knew nothing of the
ways of the willy Indian when he ven
tured down to the agency three months
ago to recreate and, incidentally, to
get few days of the finest trout fish
ing in the west. To gain the good
graces Of the Indians he had provided
himself with several cheap trinkets,
which he employed to the best advan-
tage. He fell in with Buckskin Charley
at the first outset, and forthwith gave
him one of those tin watches that sell
for dollar in the city and have their
insides keyed up to pitch that makes
a noise resembling the grinding Of a
capstan on an ocean liner. The old
man was won, and took the telegraph
man to his home, promising him the
best of lodgings during his stay on the
agency, and wound up with an intro
ductien to ihs loveliest of daughters, the
16-year-old Fannie Buck, queen of the
tribe, and whose mother, Che-gee-Che-
ok, is the ta1lest and strongest squaw
on the American continent. She is over
six feet, probably exceeding that meas
urement by three inches, and overtops
her lord by almost foot. Her Shout
ders are broader than the stout frame
Of her 1iege, and to all intents and pur-
poses she is as terrible a specimen of
mother-in-law as could be devised.
AS Altberger patted the swarthy hand
of the daughter of the house he hastily
thought Of his store Of trinkets. He had
reserved stock of beads which he in

A WESTERN ROMANCE.

The curious story of a white girls
life among the Blackfeet Indians for
sixteen years has just come out through
a suit brought by Alice Burke against
Thomas Huson, a cattle rancher of
Eastern Oregon, to recover ranch
which once belonged to her father and
is now valued at s22. 600. Burke and
old Husson started to cross the plains
from Kansas to Oregon. Burke was de-
tanned and sent his girl then two years
old, with Mrs. Husson. Husson sold
the child to a blackfoot chief for twelve
ponies, and when Burke arrived in Ore
igon told him that Alice had died.
Six years ago Burke died. and the
Illusions have been in possession Of the
ranch. Alice meanwhile grew up among
the tribe, and when white people noticed
her fine hair the Indians said she was
a haIfbreed whose parents were dead.
She gained the love of the son of
chief named F1eetwing. who was sent
to Carlisle. While he was there, Alice
took lessons from the Indian agents
wife and kept pace with him in his stu
dies. When the agent was removed she

YOUNGERS MAY BE FREED.


Next Friday the prisoners parole bill,
Cole Younger hope to be released from
the Saltwater, Mimi, penitentiary.
comes up for action. There is strong
opposition to its passage, but it may be
passed.
Before the bill was reported and
amendment was added requiring all life
prisoners who should be paroled to re-
main in the state.
If passed with this amendment, the
Youngers, if released, cannot return to
Missouri.
For number of years the friends of
the imprisoned men have sought their
pardons. Petitions signed by every
member of the legislature of Missouri
and by men Of national reputation have
been presented to tie governor and the
state legislature. Two years ago the
state senate passed a bill granting them
a parole and it would have passed in
the house had not the people of North
field protested against this clemency.
There appears to be sentiment in
Minnesota favoring the pardon of the
men. It was never established that any
Of the Younger brothers was respon-
sible for the death of any of the vic
Tins of the Mortified raid. They are
old men now and ever since their in
generation they have been model pris-
oners.
There were six Younger brothers, one
of whom died in boyhood. They were
the sons of Col Henry w. Younger, a
southern man who moved to Cass coun-
ty in 1880. The five boys who lived to
attain their majority were Richard,
Thomas Coleman, Robert, Ewing and
John Younger. During the war they,
like the two James brothers, were ir-
regular, or guerrilla, troops. Afte the
war they became bandits.
The first robbery of the kind with
which the Youngers were later identi-
fed was that of the Commercial bank
Of Liberty, Mo-, on February IA, 1865.
The Youngers took no part in this eX-
plot The robbers followed the same
tactics which were employed afterward
time and time again and which always
succeeded until the Mortified robbery.
The party, well mounted and heavily
armed, rode into the town, firing and
yelling in the streets and terrorized the
citizens, while two of the gang dis
mounted and with cooked revolvers
forced the cashier to hand over the
banks funds.
The Younger brothers were first
known to be with the James brothers in
the bank robbery at Columbia, KY. The
cashier, refusing to give up the money,
was killed. The scene Of the next raid
was in Iowa. At Corydon, Ia, they
succeeded in robbing a bank Of 10000.
On May 81 1873, the st. Genevieve bank
was robbed Of $50, 600.
In 1873 they began to rob railway

Mrs. W. r. Babcock Of ST. Louis owns

many odd clippings contained in this
rare old book is one signed 'Omega,"
written at Columbia, Tenn, in October
1S47. for the Nashville Advocate, in
which the author thus discourses upon
the subject of railroads:
Permit me to say a word as to the
utility of Railroads. There are many
opinions on the subject-some that they
increase the national wealth, and 9TH
ers that they do not-of the latter opin-
ion is your correspondent.

any particular section forces the stage
contractors to withdraw their coaches
and stock; and wagoners to leave their
employment, and consequently a great

acted in and through inland towns is
performed by Railroad through some
dismal swamp or barren country, bene-
fitting none but the moneyed fnonopo-
lists that own them.

Pacific suffered first east of Council
Bluffs. Next the cash box of the kan
sas City Fair association was robbed
of its days receipts. This was followed
by the holding up of the Malvern and
Hot Springs stages in January, 1874
Then the band attempted another train
robbery at Gad's Hill, on the Iron
Mountain railway.
The Youngers and the Jameses then
separated for awhile, as heavy rewards
were offered for their arrest. Many at
tempts were made to capture them. In
one of them John Younger was killed.
At times the detectives were hunters,
and then again they would be hunted.
In December, 1875, two parties were
organized for robbery One, consisting
of Jesse James, Bob Younger and James
Younger, stopped a train at Muncie,
Mo, and robbed the safe of $50, 900. An
other party, consisting of Cole Young

Charles Pitts and Clen Miller robbed

securing 81, 0UO.
In 1876 they decided to rob the bank
at Mortified, MINI. ,on September 18th.
The band consisted of Bob Cole and
James Younger, Bill Caldwell, Glen
Miller. Frank and Jesse James and
Charley Pitts. They rode directly to
the bank, where Frank and Jesse James
and Cole Younger dismounted and en-
tered. Once inside they ordered J. L.
Haywood, the cashier, to open the safe
or die. He refused and was shot.
While this was going on there was
wild scene in front of the bank. A. W.
Wheeler, who occupied a second-story
room opposite, got a rifle and shot
Charles Pitts and Bill Caldwell. Then
other citizens began firing. The rob
bers fed and were pursued for six days
by hundreds of men. Finally the ban
dts separated. Cole, Bob and Jim
Younger and Clell Miller kept together.
The James boys escaped after being
wounded and suffering untold hard
ships.
On September 81 the four others were
surrounded in the swamps Of the Wa
tonwan river, nearly famfshed and ex-
hausted. Miller was killed and the three
Youngers were all wounded before they
surrendered. The Youngers were ar
raigned in court early in October at
Faribau1t, where, being advised that
they could not be sentenced to death if
they pleaded guilty they did so, and
were sentenced to penal servitude at
Saltwater for their natural lives. Jim
Younger died in confinement.

On a grassy hillside. four miles from
the busy. mill-buzzing town of Ware,
in the western part of Massachusetts,
an army of one hundred thousand frogs
will next season be croalzing.
And all this to satisfy the demands
Of college laboratories and to find de-
Iectable dishes for the palate-weary,
mayhap.
One hundred thousand frogs in one
town has caused the inhabitants to pro-
test.
Mr.. Merrill, who is starting the frog
farm, makes this statement about it:
ST don't see why the people of this
town make so decided stand against
the project ne said. "for the farm
will be several miles from the town,
and surely the singing Of the frogs will
not be audible to them"
Mr.. Merrill was the only one who re-
ferred to the music Of the frogs as
singing.
'"The origin of this frog raising" he
said, dates back a good many years,
for there are already two frog farms,
as they are called, which are operated
and recognized as successful business
ventures. One of these is in California,
the other in Florida.
There is a great difference, however,
between the methods employed in these
| two farms and the way in which W ex-
pect to raise frogs.
zone has very little notion Of the vast
| number of frogs which are annually
used in this way" said he, ''for the pre-
vailing idea is that the only market
for frogs is the table. Harvard college
alone uses annually ten thousand OF
these little animals for dissecting pur-
poses. and other institutions of learn
ing throughout the country use pro-
portionate numbers.
"Great difficulty has been experienced
bv those who secure the frogs in get
ting them, and for the past three years
the Harvard frogs have all come from
| South Carolina.
| cit seems to me that a frog farm, a
place where frogs could be bred. would
be a paying investment in this part OF
the country, for the average price paio
per frog is ten cents.
1.-THE frog-raising business is as yet
in a very rudimentary state. All thai
J is known about frogs is that they live
in water and mud, and it stands to rea~
son that if the eggs of a frog are placed
in stagnant water which is filled witt
crustacea and the lower forms Of an
imaI life for food. the frogs will hatct
and a proportion of them live.
Now, one of the main obstacles whicl

that the frogs are most wanted by the
colleges for scientific purposes. Tbs

THE BALD HEAD MICROBE.


ones brush should really be prescribed
by a competent specialist Then, the
comb should be different thing from
the ordinary affair. 1t should be coarse.
A fine comb is all wrong. The teeth
should round both on the sides and
edges, so that it will glide smoothly
through the hair, and there shouldn't
be any corners between the teeth.
1.-The hair doesn't need washing more
than once month, except in unusual
cases, and then no alkan should be used
on it. All hats should be well venti-
lated and worn as little as possible.
If we went bareheaded there would be
no badness. You never heard of bald
Indian. Heat and moisture are abso-
lutely essential to the development Of
the microbes, and the modern hat fur
nishes both of them. I've experimental
on animals-inoculated them with the
microbes and kept them in a warm,
moist atmosphere. The microbes spread
like fire, and attacked the hair raven
ously, but when the animals were put
in dry, cool air the microbes died.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1901-03-14

There is no longer any doubt, accord
ing to a western specialist in hair and
skin diseases, that badness is caused
by microbe There are ways of get
ting rid of it, too, when you know the
nature of the little enemy.
Catarrhal Inflammation Of the hair
follicles," says the specialist, sis the
most common of scalp diseases. Nine
tenths of the premature badness is due
to it, and gray hair is usually the re-
suit of it. There is no doubt that it is
due to a microbe which attacks the Sc
baceous glands. This causes dandruff
and itching. Then the hair begins to
fall out, and that shows that the mi
crobe has left the sebaceous glands and
has burrowed into the hair follicle.
There it causes Inflammation and loos-
ems the hair root, and goes on to anoth-
er follicle.
Meanwhile 1t raises an army of chill
dren, and they all go to work in the
same way. The wrecked follicles left
behind the conquering host fill up with
a fungous growth, and even when new
hair sprouts it is poorly nourished and
diseased. All the other scalp diseases
are more or less along the same line,
and due to parasitic of microbic attack.
Now, you can see that the old-time
treatment was more than useless.
''Some of the precautions which will
prove potent to rout this ugly enemy OF
hair may be Of interest
1.-THE thing I'd like to impress upon
the public" says the specialist, sis the
vital Importance of clean hairbrushes
The condition Of the average hairbrush
il simply disgraceful and makes it g
perfect mass of infection. The brush
should be washed every week. and
washing it isn't enough. It should be
thoroughly sterilized at least twice {
month.

ponds upon the peculiarities Of the
scalp. A stiff brush is necessary t.

when winter really sets in Mr.. Frog is
in a natural stronghold, from which it
would require great labor to remove
him.
''For that reason we avoided swampy
Winter this would freeze tight. and al
though most people would imagine that
a swamp was just the place to raise
these animals in, we consider 1t the
worst possible.
''These frogs we will place In a tank
especially prepared for their reception
as soon as they are brought to the farm
and there they will hibernate when
winter comes.
1.-THE mud at the bottom of the tank
will not freeze, owing to the fact that
the water will be kept deep enough so
that it will not freeze solid.
'This will eliminate all the labor
which would be necessary If we were to
plant the frogs In a marsh.
when we receive an order for some
frogs the water will be drained from
the tank, leaving the muddy bottom ex-
posed to view. Blocks of the mud will
be dug up and taken to the 'thawing
room,' a well heated chamber in the
house which we are erecting on the
farm, and left to grow warm.
when the heat reaches the frogs
themselves they will soon come out
from the mud, and, after they have been
well washed and Grated, they will be in
excellent condition to ship to their des-
| tination.
"Of course, we expect to injure, per-
haps kill, great many Of the animals
in digging them out of the mud. but in
that event we can sell the legs to hotels
and markets, SO that the actual loss win
be small.
