CANAlBOATS GO TO MANILA
BnrgeS shipped From Erie Canal 10
Ply In Pnsig River.

The easy going native bargemen Of
Manila bay will experience something
like surprise when few months hence
they see towed into their harbor nine
teen Erie canalboats sent by the Phil
ippine Transportation company, says
the New York Tribune. For several
years these barges have been In use on
the Erie canal. Now they have been
towed ever TO the Morgan Iron works
on the East river, where they are be-
ing carefully pulled apart preparatory
to shipping them to the orient. Piece
by piece the decks are being pulled up,
beams and timbers separated and piled
up on the pier, ready to be slowed
away into the holds of huge steamers.
there to remain until once more put to-
gether in Hopgkong. From there they
will be towed across the China sea,
down the Luzon coast and into Manila
harbor.
Large steamers cannot approach
within two miles OF the shore in Ma
Mia bay. For this reason 1t has always
been necessary to send our cascos, or
lighters, I'm which the cargoes are
transported up the Pasig river to the
city. These cascos are small and clum-
sy and are owned by individual ma
tives who will not work until their
supply of cash runs short. The iron
canalboats are capable of holding five
or six times more cargo than any cas-
co, and the nineteen together could put
all the cascos of Manila harbor into
their holds.

DOCTORS STRIKING CLAIM
Says He Has Artincialiy Produced
Life with Aid OF Chemicals.


Professor A. d. Houghton OF Chicago
who until few days ago occupied the
chair Of pathology in Hahnemann Med
ical college, says that within five years
possibly three, he will have discovered
the secret of life. To n New York Even
Ing Journal reporter he said recently:
81 am searching for an ion that agent
which will effect reproduction. and then
I shall have found artificial life, com.
plete, exactly like natural life, or so
nearly like II that none may tell the
difference.
"When the earth was formed mud
had properties which have been lost,
certain chemicals which now we find
but rarely. yet then were everywhere
and were conducive to the springing up
OF life. For that reason we hear OF
spontaneous generation.

they have life and that by reversing
my work could see things more Won

going further, produced spirals Of won

"From this 1t was only n step to
making shells. and in one instance

are few things necessary to make life

A man who gave the name of William
Kilburn Of Denver, Colo, was last night
found lying on his face in a pool Of blood

TO DEVELOP WYOMING OIL
Enormous Capital Secured and Repre-

Now in the Field.

LARAMIE, Wyo., Oct. 4.-(SpeciaI.)-
Charles Walter. managing director of the
Belgo-American Drilling Trust OF London,
has arrived here to superintend work in
the Wyoming oil fields that gives promise
OF creating a boom in the oil industry in
this state. In an interview Mr.. Walter
said:

OF finance of Europe, who have personally
and on behalf OF their respective personal
groups, pledged capital sufficient to carry

though such capital should exceed three
times the entire national debt of England.
In other words, literally unlimited capital

TOO E XPENSE
Not the Reason.

n is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is so
expensive hat many people decline to give
II a trial. but because they find 1t too great
a tax on their credulity to believe that the
published letters bearing testimony to the
merit OF this remedy are genuine and bona
nde; especially to those who have realized
the suffering Incident to piles Is 1t incred-
ible that anyone who has been afflicted
twenty-five and thirty years with the worst
forms Of protruding piles should be cured
by the application OF a simple remedy, when
their physician has assured them that the
only relief Is in a surgical operation.
This IL rightfuily viewed with dread by all
those afnicted. as Il means at the least a
great shock TO the nervous system, with
more than a possibility OF utter collapse
and death; in the majority OF cases, too,
there is a return OF the complaint, owing to
the fact that the cause is not removed.
The proprtetors Of Pyramid Pile Cure
agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to
anyone who will show a single published
testimonial to be not genuine and unso-
licited; this latter feature Is most crafty
ing, inasmuch as these letters are written
solely out OF gratitude. and with the hope
that those who are afhicted as the writer's
have been may learn that relief is at hand,

mid Pile Cure is for sale by druggists at

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The Natural History society reorganized
last week, but on account OF the few mem
bers present at the meeting little could be
planned for the year.
Next week a large number OF classes Will
finish their first unit. A test is always
given before the unit marks are given out,
therefore much OF the week will be taken
up with examinations
Miss Macumber, gymuastic instructor, has
been busy during the last week giving the
girls physical examinations. The examine
tons will be continued next week, as ali the
girls have not yet been examined.
The Athletic association Issued member
ship tickets to all pupils wishing to Join
the association for Is cents last week. Any
student holding a membership ticket may
buy tickets for all high school foot ball
games for 20 cents instead OF 20 cents.
All pupils wishing to take vocal lessons
have an opportunity to do 20 every two
weeks at the High school. Miss Arnold will

school cadets who marched In the parade

fair. They were all permitted into the
street fair free of charge and also in all
the midway attractions. They all took
advantage OF the privilege and enjoyed a
pleasant afternoon.
The unit system" which proved so sue
eessful last year has been renewed again

four parts. each one of which Is called a
unit. IL a class can finish the four units
in two months II is allowed to do so. and
thus the brighter pupils may be able to
finish the four years course In less time.

FAMILY TREE IN EVIDENCE
twenty-five Mixed Blood Indians
Make Genealogical Showing
in Court.

The case in which twenty-five mixed
blood Omaha Indians seek to prevent the
agent at the Omaha agency from allotting
lands they claim as their own to other In
dams has been submitted to Judge Shiras
and he has returned to Dubuque, Ia. An
interesting feature Of the testimony offered
by the plaintiffs Is a complete genealogical
tree of the entire twenty-five. They are
ali descended from the same white man and
Indian woman and in the many generations
that have succeeded some Of them have
been further reduced in Indian blood by
later intermarriages with pure whites. The
tree is spread out over a scroll two yards
long and runs in outline form from the or
lginai couple down through the various
branches to the present twenty-five. Some
are still halfbloods, others only one-six-
tenth Indian.
Judge Shiras made one important state
ment during the hearing, saying that the
only matter in controversy was whether
these Indians had been recognized by their
tribe. All discussion as to whether mixed
bloods we're entitled to lands or such full
blood privileges was, he said, entirely be-
side the point, as the law said plainly that
the scope OF these allotments Included all
those recognized OF Indian blood, partly or
wholly. This served to cut out a large
lump Of testimony and argument on that
point. leaving the case Ringing on the mat
ter Of tribal recognition. The existence OF
this II devolved upon the twenty-five In
dams to prove.
