A SEVERE ARRANGEMENT.
Indian agent Says Education spons
His Wards.

Washington, Nov. IA severe ar
raignment of the Indians on the Ponca,
Otoe and Oakland reservation in Okla
homa is made by Agent Erwin in
charge of the reservation in his an
nual report to the commissioner of
Indian affairs. The report says:
Hardly any of the young Indians,
those who have graduEtcl from nom
reservation schools as well as those
who have attended for number of
years do any work at all. 1t can be
set down as a perfectly safe rule that
as a class the young educated Indians
are the most worthless ones in the
whole tribe. Nearly all of the work
done by the tribes is performed by the
middle-aged, able bodied ones who
cannot write or speak English. The
educated Indians coming from the
schools usually give the excuse that
he has nothing with which to work,
neither money, implements nor stock
of any kind. This is true, but notice
thae they manage to live on their an
nuities and lease money and buy
horses, buggics, etc, on credit and
borrow money from the banks with but
little prospect of ever being able to
paa their debts. Any able-bodied man
or woman is able to obtain work at
fair wages.

A Wonderful Pill.

Freedom, Mo-, Nov. 3d.-A splendid
remedy has recently been introduced
in this neighborhood. 1t is called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and it has cured
Rheumatism right and left. On every
hand may be heard stories of the re-
markable recoveries and from what
has been stated already there seems
to be no case of rheumatism that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure.
One of those who has already tested
the virtue of Dodd's Kidney Pills is
Katie Anderson of this place, who
says:
81 can't say enough for Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. They have helped me so
much. l suffered very severely with
rheumatism. five boxes cured me
completely. They are certainly the
most wonderful medicine 1 have ever
used"
Usage county abounds in just such
cases and if the good work keeps on
there will soon be no rheumatism left
in this part of the state.

TAKE EFFECT NOVEMBER |.
If Any Award Is Made By Commits
sion Affecting Wages.
ANOTHER DEEP MINES TRIP.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 3.-The first i'm
portant action by the anthracite coal
strike commission, which is arbitrating
the differences existing between the
miners and their employers was taken
and the action of the commission was
announced in the following comm dni-
cation:
''Voted unanimously that if the COM
mission, at the conclusion of its hear
ings and deliberations, makes any
award affecting existing rates of
wages, such awards shall take effect
from November 1, 1902"
1t is possible that the commission
may make a preliminary report on
three strike questions. They are the
increase in wages, shorter work day,
and the weighing of coal. After these
have been decided the commission can
take mp all other questions without
commissioners have this feature under
consideration and it is very likely
preliminary report will be made.
The commissioners were underground
for two hours and half on their sec
ond visit to the mines. The commits
sioners walked several miles through
the gangways, and owing to the ex-
ceedingly low roof, they had to do
their tramping almost continually in
STOPPING position. After the arbitra-
tors had been in the workings an hour
Judge Gray decided that his back
ached enough and he came to the sur
face, accompanied by Bishop Spalding.
Altogether the commissioners in
spected three chambers where miners
were at work at the face of the breasts
blasting coal. The first breast visited
was 1000 feet from the foot of the
shaft.
After luncheon at their hotel the
commissioners took ride around the
region in a special trolley car. They
visited Taylor, Dunmore and Throop,
three small mining towns outside of
Scranton. This was done for the pur-
pose of viewing the homes and sur
roundings of the mine workers.
Bishop Spalding preached in the
Cathedral on Sunday in place of Bishop
Hogan, whose jurisdiction extends all
over the anthracite field, excepting the
Schuylkill region.

Some Strikes Renewed.

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 31.-The strike
at the seven collieries of Coke Bros.
& Co., the four mines of G. B. Merl1le
& Co., and the Silverbroolz operation
of J. S. Wentz &c Co., was officially re-
newed upon instructions from Presi"
dent Mitchell. The strikers at those
mines were not permitted to return tc
work in u body, the Coxes insisting
that their employees make personal
application for their former positions
and G. B. Merkle and Co., requiring
that each man before going back to
work promise to abide by the decision
of the arbitration commission. The
mine workers allege that the object of
these requirements is discrimination
against men who were prominent in
the strike. A. Pardee & Co.'S collieries
where the men have been asked not to
interfere nth non-union hands are not
included in the strike order.

Bishop Hennessey Appointed.

st. Louis, Oct. 51.-A clergyman in
New York who has just returned from

Hennessy of Wichita, Kan, is to be

pointed TO his present position.

Students too Brash.

Lansing, Mich, Oct. 3O.-A meeting
of the striking students of the Michi-
gan agricultural college was held for
the purpose of hearing report from
the faculty on the ultimatum that no
more classes would be attended until
the students suspended and expelled
because of participation in the class
rush were reinstated. The faculty,
however, had no report to make,
standing by their action in suspending
the students. The students dispersed
without disturbance.

Ono Gang STAYS Out.

Tamaqua, Pa, Oct 29.-Park Place
colliery, between Mahanoy City and
Delano, did not resume work owing to
the fact that the operators refused to
take back fifteen union men discharged
because of the claim that they were
ringleaders in the disturbances which
occurred during the strike. The union
held "a meeting and the members de-
cided by a unanimous vote to stay out
unless these men were reinstated.
This status of affairs affects nearly
1000 men and boys.

IN THE MINES.
All, Including Bishop And Judge
Don Miners Garb.
VIEWED THE MINERS HOMES.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1.-The seven
commissioners appointed by President
Roosevelt to adjust the differences ex-
listing between the anthracite mine
workers and their employers made a
tour of the extreme upper coal fields
and saw every step taken in the pro-
duction of coal from the time it is
blasted from the ground. hundreds of
feet below the surface, up to the point
where it is sent to market ready for
the use of the consumer.
AS the mine was wet and dirty, the
company officials produced rubber
overshoes, overalls, jumpers and
miners caps for the entire party.
Judge Gray and Bishop Spalding were
the first to don the uniform of the
miner, and good naturally took TIE
remarks thrust at them by their col
leagues as to whether or not they
belonged to the Union.
The arbitrators had an interesting
day and returned grimy from coal dust
and tired after eight hours of busy
observation and investigation. The
trip was Il novelty to most of those in
the commissioners party, some of
whom had never been in the hard coal
regions. The commissioners displayed
the greatest interest in every feature
of coal mining and went about their
work in manner that was pleasing to
behold. The mining superintendent
accompanied the commissioners. The
seven arbitrators had to endure many
discomforts, make their way through
wet places in the mines, almost crawl
along some of the gangways in the
workings and pass through clouds of
coal dust in the breakers. Notwith-
standing this, their eagerness for in
formation was not diminished.
1t would be unfair to SLY that one
commissioner displayed more interest
than another, but it can truly be said
that Bishop Spalding asked more
questions than any one of the others.
He was usually in the center of the
group of commissioners and asked
many questions of those employed in
and about the mines.
A short drive was taken through the
town, to give the commissioners an
opportunity to view the homes of the
minewOrllers

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
Year of Peace And of Overlooking Plenty
For AL

Washington, Nov President
Roosevelt issued his proclamation des-
ignating Thursday. November 81, as a
day of Thanksgiving. The proclama-
ton is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint day of fes-
tival and thanksgiving to God.
''Over a century and quarter has
passed since this country took its place
among the nations of the earth, and
during that time we have had on the
whole more to be thankful for than
has fallen TO the lot of any other peo-
yle. Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away.
Each has had to bear its peculiar bur-
dens, each to face it's special crisis and
each has known years of grim trial,
when the country was menaced by
malice, domestic and foreign levy,
when the hand of the Lord was heavy
upon it in drouth or flood or pestilence,
when in bodily distress and anguish
of soul it paid the penalty of folly and
forward heart. Nevertheless, de-
cade by decade, we have struggled
onward and upward; we now abund-
antly enjoy material well being, and
under the favor of the Most High we
are striving earnestly to achieve moral
and spiritual uplifting. The year that
has just closed has been one of peace
and of overlooking plenty. Rarely has
any people enjoyed greater prosperity
than we are now enjoying. For this
we render heartfelt and solemn thanks
to the Giver of Good; and we seek to
praise Him not by words only, but by
deeds, by the way in which we do our
duty to ourselves and to our fellow
men.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States, do
hereby designate as day of general
thanksgiving, Thursday, the twenty
seventh of November and do recon-
mend that throughout the land the
people cease from their ordinary occu-
pations and in their several homes and
places of worship, render unto AL
mighty God for the manifold blessings
of the past year.
SIN witness whereas have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
goth day of October, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand nine hundred and
two and of the Independence of the
United States, the one hundred and
twenty-seyenth. (Signed.)
Seal THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
