A peculiarly interesting and highly
valued curiosity in the possession OF
an American gentleman named Peter
Gruber. of Rochester, n. Y, is a COM
plete suit of clothes made from the
skins of rattlesnakes sewn together.
No fewer than 1875 r~attlesnakes were
reGuisitioned to supply the necessary
skins for this purpose. Four different
specimens of rattlers were comprised
In the suit-black. brown, yellow and
gray-and the judicious arrangement
Of these variegated skins presents a pc
culiar and bizarre effect. The buttons
are ~rattlesnakes' heads stuffed. and
supplied with brilliant bead eyes. Even
Mr.. Cruber's hat and stick are covered
with skins. rendering the attire most
extraordinary. The owner would not
part with it for any sum of money, for
1t is the only one of it's kind in exist.

what way are Chamberlain's Stomach

Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and

they can always be depended upon.

Mrs. Em-ry-Holmes Has Wealth Enough

which She May Set Hsr Heart Ro-

Thomas F. Walsh. the owner of the
Camp Bird mine in Colorado and IA
nous as the most muniticent enter
tainer in the world. has a fight on his
hands that promises to keep him ex-
! ceedingIy busy during the next few
years. His supremacy as an enter
tainer is being disputed by a woman
who has quite as much wealth at her
disposal as he and who is quite lavish
in her use of it. This woman is none
other than Mrs. Emery-Holmes, known
everywhere as the silver queen OF
| Gtah" because her wealth comes from
the silver mines of that state, which
are the richest in the world.
A resident of Salt Lake City, Mrs.
Emerr-Hoimes has not yet made her
debut in Washington society, but is
credited with the intention Of doing
so at an early date and to outshine So
cially any of the personages known

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND IR.
- RIGATION.

President Roosevelt's new position
in regard to irrigation Legislation is
radically different from that taken by
hm In his message to congress last
December. In that message he pleas
cd the people Of the far west by de-
claring for state control in the distri-
butioo of water in irrigation. But now
becomes out with an opinion that the
national government alone should con-
troll in the distribution Of water from
irrigation works constructed at ms
tional expense.
: Why he has suddenly changed his
poaition Ia Of much less interest than
the fact that the change has been
made. It indicates the position taken
blythe Republican years ago that If the
hatiDoal government constructed irri'
pation works 1t would insist upon con
trolling the distribution of water from
thsm. The fact that President Roose'
welt has declared in favor Of national
control indicates the view that the en-
tire natiooal government would in
time adopt
Practically this declaration by the
president means the defeat Of irriga'
f3o1 legislation, for NO bill can pass
congress which provides for national
control The members both Of the
house and the senate from the arid
states would vote against any such
measure. They appreciate that the
new policy of President Rockwell
would lead to disastrous results in all
the arid states, and they will have
nothing to do with It
There has from the start been little
chance Of the enactment of IN irriga-
ton law, Notwithstanding the senate

bill. Senator Hansbroush managed to

AID ASKED FOR
STARVING INDIANS
Especial to The HeraId.)

Especial to The Herald.)
Washington. Sept 1.-THE Indian Of
flee today received from Senator Raw
Inns a petition from the citizens OF
Bluff, San Juan county. Utah. asking
that further relief be extended to desti-
tute Navajo Indians in that vicinity,
and that Howard r. Antes of Aneth
and Jens Nielsen of Bluff be desig-
mated TO assist Samuel L. Shoemaker in
distributing funds made available by
the Indian Office some time ago The
petition states that Indians within a
radius Of fifty or seventy-five miles of
Bluff have suffered from lack of water
for several years past and need speedy
relief.
Inasmuch as the Indian agent insists
there is no unusual suffering the Indian
Office will take no further action at
this time. 1t is admitted that there has
been suffering among the Indians in
that vicinity. but there il ample en-
ployment awaiting them If they are dis
posed to work, and the department is
not favorably inclined to completely
support those in a position TO help
themselves. The petition commends
Senator Rawlins' efforts on behalf Of
the Indians. The senator merely asks
that the requests be given consider
alton, making no recommendation.
The secretary Of the interior today re-
ceived a telegram from Governor Rich
ards Of Wyoming stating that furious
forest fires are raging for many miles
along the Wyoming Colorado state line
north OF Pearl, Colo. and calling upon
him to send assistance. The secretary
finds that much public land is being
damaged, and, realizing the Importance
Of prompt action. accordingly author
lied the local special agents to employ
men to meet the emergency on the pub
lie domain. The funds available for
fire extinguishment are nearly depleted.
owing to the frequency of fires this
summer. but in view of the extent OF
this corfagration emergency funds will
be used. The department says this
condition should induce congress at the
next session to make a liberal appro-
priation for fire extinguishment, as IL
had been sadly neglected heretofore.

For weeks the cholera has been de-
pOpulating the cities along the Yuan
river. In Changte they died daily BY
the score and. from reliable reports,
the same can be said of the cities west.
Chenchou is built on a hillside and in
the center of the city is a famous
spring from which the people obtain
much Of their water. This was report
ed 10 have been poisoned by the for
eigners and hence the high death rate.
Ore afternoon Mr.. Lewis was study
ing with his teacher and Mr.. Bruce was
in his room across the hail when. in
an instant. the house and street be-
came crowded with people. Mr.. Bruce
was drawn by his hair out of the room
and INTO the yard, where, with clubs,
stones, knives. swords and torture they
soon killed him.
Mr.. Lewis and his teacher went out
at the back door into the yard and
started 10 climb upon an old shed, when
a stroke from a spear brought the for
mer TO the ground. With the same
Instruments his body was soon man
gled beyond recognition. Eyes were
Knocked out and the bodies otherwise
mutilated.
After this the mob destroyed all the
foreign books and other articles they
could not use. Trunks and boxes were
broken open but none OF the poison
could be found. When the crowd had
almost disappeared. the chihfu arrived
and had the bodies moved into their
respective rooms.
On the same street and a few doors
away we're stationed soldiers for their
protection. A British warship was
sent 10 the scene upon receipt OF the
news.
