1t is possible steps may be taken to

A number of similar instances whert

INDIAN EXHIBIT AT ST. LOUIS fair
E BLANKET INDIAN BARRED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %
Mr.. William A. Jones, commissioner
Of Indian affairs, has, by direction of
the Secretary Of the interior, ad-
dressed a Letter to the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition company with refer
ence to the Indian exhibit at the ex-
position. The last last sundry civil
appropriation bill carried a provision
for the exhibit of $4,000 The
wording of the bill left it discretionary
with the Interior Department as to
the sort of an exhibit that should be
held. The commissioner has yery
pronounced views on the exhibit of
Indians at st. Louis. He believes that
the exhibits of the past have injured
the Indians engaged in them. It il
probable that he will not consent to
another exhibit such as was held at
Omaha and Buffalo. Discussing the

that he will be reelected.
Representative DeArmond, of Mis-
souri,, is candidate, but the conserva-
tives among the Democrats do not re-
gard him with favor 1t is claimed
that because of his vitrolic tongue and
his batting of Representative Cannon
for the past five or six years Mr.. Can
non as Speaker would become more
partisan than ever and refuse to per-
nit anything Democratic to pass. Mr..
DeArmond believes in stirring up the
animals at every opportunity, and he
can arouse the Republican party's ire
more quickly than any other man in
the House.
Representative James r. Will
liams, of Mississippi, is another candid
ate for the minority leadership, but the
same objection urged against Mr.. De-
Almond applies to him. Representa-
tive Sulzer, of New York, is another
candidate, bu he cannot receive the
unanimous Endorsement of his own

matter in his letter, the commissioner
says:
Il realize that the people at large
are not greatly interested in the edu-
Gated Indian of today. They want to
see him in the wild state, in his
blanket and the old-style tepee They
want to see foot races, fire dances, In
dian games and that sort of thing,
and will not care to look at him un-
less he is wrapped in a blanket and
decl1ed out with paint and feathers
They overlook the fact that the In
dian of their fancy does not exist any
more
1T has been the experience of the
department that these exhibitions
work great deal of harm to the In
dians. Take gang of bucks who have
been forced to work and dress like
white men and place them on dress
parade for six months, and they are
utterly worthless for months to come

delegation. Representative Under
wood of Alabama, protege of Rep
resentative Richardson, is candidate,
but he is too slow a thinker for the
majority of the Democrats.
Were it not for private business
affairs of Representative Allan Nc
Dermott, of New Jersey, he would un-
doubtedly be selected. He is a good
lawyer, he has learned much of par
liamentary law since he entered the
House. and he is a reasonably good
rough-and-tumble debater.
The party managers are going to try
during this session to work up a
sentiment among the Democrats so
that during the next session party
caucuses will be binding. In the past
caucuses have met and resolved, but
some members of the party have re-
fused to accept them as binding. Dur
ing the Fifty-eighth Congress an effort
viii be made to have members bound
by the majority.

more than an Indian, and 1t ruins him
to pose before crowds who give him
money and buy his photographs and
make a lion of him. This was our
experience with the Indians who were
at Omaha and at Buffalo. They be-
came vain of the very things we have
been trying to gat them to abandon
The clause of the Indian appropria-
ton bill under which the exhibit was
authorized at a cost of $4,000 was so
wCrded as to leave a wide discretion
in its preparation. It requires that
the exhibit shall illustrate the past
and present of the Indian, and show
his progress in education and indus
trial lines.
This reference to the past is taken
by the champions of a spectacular
show to warrant the assembling of a
lot of blanket Indians for races,
dances and other oeremonise that were
formerly common.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 29.-The Stand
ard Oil Company has advanced it's
prices On kerosene 80 per cent in two
months and so per cent in a year. The
trust today is selling oil here at 8
cents gallon in bulk. having added

months by two advances. A year ago
the figure was 6 cents gallon ard the
profits at that time warranted the
highest Wall street quotation on rec

Many householders, frightened by

the strike, began to put in oil heating
plants and to contract for winter
supply of the liquid fuel. The price

TEXARKANA, Tex, Nov 29.-Mr
and Mrs. Lee Weigel. young married
couple, who were on their bridal tour.
were found with their throats cut
from ear to ear in bed in their room
at the Cosmopolitan Hotel yesterday
afternoon. She was cold in death and
he was unable to move from the loss
OF blood, though he was still alive and
conscious. He was taken to a sani-
tarium, where his wounds were dressed
and he may recover.
Before their marriage last Wednes-
day the bride was Miss Marie Quinn of
Admission, Alabama. where the mar
riage took place Weigel's home was
in Texarkana.
Deep mystery shrouds the whole af-
fair. .Weigel and his bride arrived here
at l O'Clock Thursday morning and
proceeded at once to the COSMOPOLITAN
Hotel, where they took room. Moth
ing was heard of them.
When they did not respond to re-
peated calls yesterday afternoon the
hotel people became alarmed and sum-
moned the police. With the aid of the
officers the door was broken down and
the terrible sight met their gaze.
Lying side by side in the CORY bed
were the couple. Their throats were
cut and the arteries OF their wrists
had beer severed. A razor which had
been used in the bloody work was
found beside them on the bed. Mrs.
WeigePs juglar vein had been severed
and she died almost instantly, or soon
after the wounds were inflicted, as was
evidenced by the fact tnat her body
was cold and rigid, but Weigel failed
TO penetrate the wall of the vein i'm
his own neck, though he succeeded in
inficting CHASTITY flesh wound, and to
this is due the fact that he is still alive
No motive has been assigned for the
deed, as the couple were apparently
quite happy. There was no quarrel
tnat any ane about the hotel heard. and
no unusual sounds emanated from the
room to indicate a quarrel. Indeed.
none of the furnishings of the room
nad been disturbed in the least. show
ing undoubtedly that there had been
no struggle. If there had been an out
cry or any kind in al / likelihood It
would have been heard.
IL must have been, as the paonIa
think here. that the couple had lust
agreed to die together. On this s1,h-
Ject, however. Weigel remains Der-
Tectly silent, refusing to make any ex-
planation of the affair

WASHINGTON, Nov 29.-Demo-
Gratis are already talking of the minor
my leadership of the House for the
Fifty-eighth Congress. Considerable
Importance attaches to the leadership
for the party during the next Cong
ress, as party managers are confident
of having majority in the Fifty
ninth Congress.
Many objections are urged against
the continuance of Representative
James D. Richardson, of Tennessee,
as minority leader, but the Democrats
have failed to find a man better equip
ed for the place upon whom they can
unite. It is alleged against Mr.. Rich
ardson that there exists between him
and the Republican leaders too close
an understanding; that he does not
take advantage of opportunities for
making political capital for the party
and that he is not fitted for the lead
ership. Despite these objections,

WASHINGTON D. G. Nov. 29.-The
War Department is in receipt of data
concerning the canteen question and
the effect of it's abolition ON the army
The existence of something like 1,40(
saloons in the vicinity of army posts
is shown by the reports, $50 or 800 OF
which are said to have been opened
since the closing Of the canteen. Tht
majority of posts have reported that
drunkenness and Coutmartalirg for
drunkenness have increased; that de.
sertion and absence without leaxe
have increased; that the effect of clos
ing the canteen upon the morality, dis
cipline and health of the troops has
been bad. In no single case has a post
commander expressed an opinion that
