Geo. P. Haardt & Bro.,
 I3 Commerce St. Telephone 3o0

T., visited friends in Milwaukee yester- day on their way to Black River Falls. Mrs. Conlan will be remembered by WIS consin clubwomen as a delegate sent by the National Federation of Women's Clubs to the biennial at Los Angeles. She Is descended from two famous Indian families. In her veins flows the blood Of the Chickasaws and Choctaws, and she is one of the best representatives or what has been called 'the real American aristocrat" Mrs. Conlan Is a petite wo- man of the light brunette type, for her Indian blood is mixed with that of the Folsoms
 Like all those who are numbered among the five civilized nations on Indian Terri
 tory, Mrs. Conlan is proud of her ances-
 try. She is a woman of broad culture
 She has travelled widely and has rare
 charm of manner. At the biennial, after
 it was known that she was a delegate from the Territory, she attracted much attention. In appearance, however, there l is nothing to distinguish her from an American woman of more than usual | good looks.
 Tt is wonderful how much curiosity Is shown concerning Indians of the Terri tory" said Mrs. Conlan, who was seen | just as she was preparing to go to Wau- kesha to attend the yacht races. On the | train going out to California l was con- | stantly assailed by questions concerning my people. l was compelled to repeat again and again all that 1 know about l the Chickasaws and Choctaws. It was ] absurd to hear some of the questions | that were asked.
 | Notwithstanding the fact that the Five | Nations have been civilized for several | generations many delegates appeared to l me fo in a blanket and moccasins. In going through Arizona m | one was more interested than l in the | various tribes of Indians seen at the | railway stations and at the pueblos. The | Chickasaws and Choctaws have demon- strated that they ca nbecome good cltl- gems. I am proud of my Indian blood, because it is the record of our people
 that they have never broken treaty. No people in the world have eve"
 guarded the family life more carefully
 Of course, you know that we have paid
 much attention to education and we are
 jealous in church work. Many of the
 women of my generation are married to
 white men, for we have been carefully
 educated in colleges outside of the Ter ritory, and we have come to demand a great deal of culture in the men whom we admire
 "Atoka the town in which I live, is in the Choctaw Nation. It is pretty pla se. sitauted on a creek. There are 1,2OO in
 habitants. We have two women's clubs.
 The oldest one is called the Pioneer.
 This club has only eighteen members, and I represented 1t at the general Fed
 eration Oklahoma and Indian Territories
 have a joint federation, with member
 ship of forty-two clubs. l venture to say
 that there is no other Western State
 in which more interest is manifested in
 literary work and in reading than is 10
 be found in Indian Territory"

 At the appointed hour Mir. Armbrecht began his speech and continued for one hour, speaking to a good crowd, all white, not negro going about the court house, only two dropping in during his entire time. From his point of view, he made splendid speech, but Colonel Wiley made the most eloquent and high-1toned speech ever delivered by him. being in fine health and best of trim.

Moon leaves shadow :50am Moon leaves Penumbra............2 250am
 A curious phenomenon sometimes ac- companying an eclipse is the so-called shadow bands" These are bands of light and shade, usually wavy, which play about over a landscape and can sometimes be seen with great distinct ness against the walls of houses. The effect is exactly like that produced by the reflection of the sun from a lake gent ly stirred by breeze, as that reflection looks against blank wall in shadow. Sometimes these bands do not appear at all and sometimes they are not wavy. What causes them no one knows.
 Many observers have spoken of the awe inspired by them by the immense rapid ity with which the shadow of the eclipse swept over the landscape. while some have thought the movement seems slow CT and more stately. Strange to say. 1t is hard to get two people to agree as to the color of the shadow. Some describe 1t as black, some as a round ball of dark ness with an orange yellow border. some as purple and some as brown. To get the full effect of the rush of the shadow over the visible world one needs to be on some high place where he can look out over the country and see it coming. Those who have been most impressed with the majesty and speed of the on- ward rush of the shadow have seen 1t from some point of vantage.
 Eclipses produce a weird and uncanny effect on man and beast alike.
 An unnatural chill comes into the air.
 People are nervous and excited, while children cling to their mothers in fright
 Birds flutter about in consternation and seek their nests.
 Cows go home from pasture. They stop chewing cuds and sniff the air as if fear ing great storm.
 Horses in harness are frightened at fla miliar objects. and those loose in the fields run about distractedly.
 Beasts of prey grow ferocious and at tack human beings boldly. The sudden changes of light and heat make peculiar electrical conditions which are probably the cause of excitability in all living things.
 The young of all creatures run to their mothers in fear. while the males among the animals seek their mates to protect them.
 While the darkness lasts there Is a breeding stiffness among all living things except dogs and wolves. These set up a snappish yelping quite different from the ordinary bark or night howl.
 Dogs run to their masters and cover and whine piteously between their out burst of yelping.
 All males among the wild animals arc orf the alert and the defensive ready to attack an unexpected foe.
 Such natural sounds as waterfalls and the whistling of the wind seem excessive ly loud and alarming.
 Ignorant and superstitious people have an abject fear of some great calamity, they know not what.
 In the eclipse of July 30, 1878. in the United States, a negro seized with frenzy killed his wife and three children.

which We limited the independence OF
Cuba by compelling her to accept and in
corporate in her organic law certain lin
ttations of action in return for our pro-
tectorate, which embodied the pledge OF
serving real Cuban interests on our part.
Indeed, the Cuban constitutional con-
ventiOn did not enact the Platt amend
ment until they were reasonably salts
fed that they would get commercial adj
vantages from us In return. Chairman
Payne, who stoutly contended for some
time that no concession to Cuba should be
made, became convinced finally that he
was wrong, and admitted his error in his
statement last week, declaring that the

American industry and 1t was matter

Cuban planters. Mr. Payne's conversion

AN OBJECT LESSON

The urn a S correspondence from
Porto Rico published Saturday shows what
a remarkable transformation free trade
between that island and the United States
is working. It has brought the long
promised prosperity. 1t has also brought
with it an immense growth in the i'm
ports from the United States, which
should be an eye-opener to those wise
statesmen who inform us that Cuba is
buying all now that she possibly can.
In the last year of the Spanish occu-
patton Porto Rico bought $2,254 1889 worth
of goods from the United States. In the
third year of American control of the
island it bought $9,367,557 worth of goods
from us. But, it may be objected, Porto
Rico was poor then; now it is prosperous
Why Is 1t prosperous? Not simply because
1t is under American rule, but because it
has unlimited reciprocity with the United
States. Just as surely as full reciprocity
has given Porto Rico new commercial life
a fair measure Of reciprocity will give it
to Cuba.
Today Havana is dead and San Juan is
booming. 1t is in our power to make
Havana boom tomorrow and all Cuba
busy and prosperous; soeprosperous that
It's purchases from us will increase with
amazing rapidity. But we will not exer-
else our power.

The CUBAN RECIPROCITY FIGHT

Mr.. Payne. who has pulled the 20 per
cent concession bill through his commit
tee, will see that much debated measure
brought before the house tomorrow as a
revenue bill and a privileged question and
debatable. That means very tempes-
tuous time and probable victory for the
committee. The measure will probably
come out unimpaired as the very utmost
which the house majority can do in reduc-
ing the height of the tariff wall.
That course of stones was removed bv
the republican makers of the tariff of
1897, who inserted provision for the re-
moval Of 20 per cent Of the duties in ia
vor Of such countries as were willing to
give an equivalent through reciprocity
arrangements. 1t is interesting to in
quire how 1t is that the proposition now
ito carry out this provision of republican
origin Is characterized in angry terms as
an aba.5onment of the republican policy
OF protection and betrayal" of the
party and Its principles! This attitude
seems more inconsistent when, in addi-
ton to the obligation of the Dingley
tariff. the opposition to the comparative
ly small concession to Cuba is opposing
the terms OF the Plat amendment by

The MERGERS WORK. P0ss,R1y

"A case OF retarded railway development
III 1ne northern part of Minnesota may
yet DE shown to be illustrative of the ef-
reefs or the merger in manipulating RAIL
way development in the interests Of one
terminal point as against those of an
other. Last year it was generally ba-
lieVed mat the Minnesota & Interna-
tlonal railway would be completed this
season to the International boundary at
hoochlching. 1t is now stated that the
railroad will not be built beyond BLACK
Duck, twenty-five miles north of Bemidii

announced that the Duluth, Virginia g.

are the facts; bow for the possible in
ference.

southern terminal is Minneapolis: the
1atter's is Duluth. J. ]. Hill has. Of
late years, consistently favored the Duluth

not result of Mr.. Hills fayoritism for
the Duluth-Superior terminal showing it.
self in holding back Northern Pacific
line which would make the new country
tributary to Minneapolis while he pushes
another which will make it tributary to
Duluth?
The relation of the facts. here stated
may be purely accidental, but design is
not impossible. At any rate it suggests
another phase of one-man power In north
western railroads. Not only is railroad
development In general checked, but the
natural development of one system may
be checked, both to the disadvantage Of
it's basic terminal and to the hurt of the
new country which would, under old con-
ditions, have had two roads-one to each
market.
