Southwest country. An experiment Of

Southwest country. An experiment OF
much value was attempted among the
Cheyennes In Oklahoma not long ago.
An Indian agent wished the school,
boys 20 milk cows for him. and agreed
10 give each one who MIXED for three
months a nice calf. Fifteen boys
started. but they were so ridiculed by
the older men OF the tribe that twelve
OF them gave il up. Three won the
calves. and the pride of being owners
OF the cattle served as quite an assist
ance in getting other Indian children
TO try. After a year twelve boys had
won calves. and the agent asked them
10 plow corn for him. agreeing 20
give them all the cor, they could
grow. Ten boys volunteered 10 grow
corn. and they actually raised 5000
bushels. which was sold and after
wards converted into thirty head Of
steers.

Each steer was branded with an In

High Water.

In common with large portion Of
the country, the mountains of East
Tennessee received q heavy rainfall
during last Saturday and night. The
mountain streams were very much
swollen and several interests suffered.
The Nolachucky had about 10 feet Of
water and took ont temporary bridge
for the 0. II. & G. at Hollow Poplar
and section of false work for the same
company at the Unaka Springs bridge.
Farther down the river at Glaze's
ford the middle pier for the new county
bridge was thrown down. This was q
mass of rock 80 feet below low water
and 5x16 feet under coping, and was
one Of the finest pieces of masonry
along the river. but it could not have
been on a proper foundation.
The doe river took out a bridge for
the E. T. & w. N. @. railroad near Al
lentown.

Bradley County.

We published statement last week,
taken from another paper, to the effect
that Judge Ingersoll had charged that
the Bradley county democratic conven-
ton was controlled by railroad lawyers
and presided over by an ex-convict.
Judge Ingersoll has since denied that
he made such statement. We are glad
OF this denial. There was no founda-
ton for such a charge. The conven-
ton was presided over by Col. Joe
Hardwick, one of the truest men in the
state. Judge p. B. Mayfeld, the chief
counsel for the railroad in Bradley
county, favored instructing the dele
gates for both Judge Ingersoll and
Judge Shields, but seeing that the SEN
timent of the convention was against
such action, Judge Ingersoll's name
was not presented. Judge Ingersoll
has represented the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad in East Tennessee for the
past ten years, and it is not likely thai
he would urge that there was any i'm,
propriety in electing a railroad attorney
to place on the Supreme Bench.

convicts nobody Of wrong except the
navy department The rottenness of
the ring which has prosecuted the
brave old admiral is simply revealed
with more clearness. Dewey's noble
defiance Of the conspirators shines out
like diamond on dung hill. Schley's
great achievement has won the unstint-
ed applause of all who, like him, were
in the thick Of the fighting. It has ex-
cited the hatred of those who got there
