SOLVING ITSELF
Indian Problem In the South Dis
cussed by Mrs. Coleman.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal,
Winona, Mimi, Jan. 9.-Mrs. S. E. Coleman,
matron of Students hall in this city. has re-
turned from a trip to Indian Territory, where
she visited her daughter, Mrs. w. G. Jack
son, at Muskogee. In speaking to-day re-
garding her trip Mrs Coleman mad some in
teresting things to say regarding the Indian
race.
Mrs. Coleman says that the Indian problem
is fast solving itself in the Indian Territory,
through the internarriage of the Indians and
whites. Some Of the best people in that sec
ton have Indian blood in their veins, mar
riages between those of Indian blood and
whites being rather favored than disapproved
To such an extent is this being carried on
that Mrs. Coleman, while in Muskogee, saw
no genuine full blooded Indians attired in
their native dress. Indians she met, as we'll
as numerous half breeds, but all had adopted
to some extent the dress of civilization.
An interesting event which Mrs. Coleman
attended during her visit was a wedding be-
tween a part Indian maiden, Miss Susanna
Barnett, and Mr. Struyell the general rail-
way man at Wetumka. a pure white man.
The ceremony took place on New Years eve.
The bride formerly attended Kendall college
at Muskogee and upon graduating from there
taught in the schools at Wetumlla, which was
where she met her husband.

people, and Burke took just enough
to buy an emigrant ticket west.
For the first two years he worked
as a cowboy on an exposed ranch
rounding up cattle and chasing In
dams and being chased by them in
return, having encounters with wild
beasts and wilder men, and spending
long weeks and months out on the
open prairies with nothing but wild
nature and his own thoughts. He
grew bronzed and bearded and his eyes
and brain became alert and discrimi-
mating from his perilous surroundings.
He lost his dif1dent manner, and life
among the unruly cattle made his
voice strong and decisive.
The third year he took the money
he mad saved and bought a few head
of cattle, and began ranching it on his
own account. He was almost continu-
ally in the saddle now, protecting and
caring for his stock and looking for
fresh grazing lands Up under the
side of a mountain he built a small
cabin; another year he would enlarge
it, and-perfaps send for Edith.
Then came the long, terrible winter
which devastated the whole Northwest.
Cattle were lost by the hundreds OF
thousands, and Burke was among the
first to suffer His grazing land was
peculiarly exposed, and the first heavy
snowfall completely blockaded the lit
tie valley from the outside world. At
first he was dazed by the blow-two
years lost, and Edith back yonder

In anticipation of the long winter
evenings he had brought paper and
ink, and now, in his despair, he turned
to them for forgetfulness. At first he
worked feverishly, but as he wrote his
brain became clearer and gradually
focused itself upon one central idea
| At the end of a week he destroyed
what he had written, and commenced
again, writing slowly and carefully,
and becoming more and more interest
ed as he proceeded
Fortunately he had plenty of pro-
visions, and now and then was able to
capture small game near the cabin
Snow succeeded snow, and billiards
followed close in the wake of each
other 1t was April before he could
leave the valley, but by that time the
novel was finished
He did not expect much from it when
he sent it off; his old experience pre-
was good, and if some publisher would
assume the risk of bringing it out he
would be satisfed-nay, more than sat
isfied. for Edith would be pleased.
He was working again as cowboy
when ranchman brought him the
publishers letter, two months later.
He read it through slowly, and then,
oblivious of the cowboys around him,
bowed his head upon his horses neck.
And yet the letter was only few lines
of communication and a proposition
But in it was check, and the check
and the proposition together meant
that he could return to Edith and
that they could resume their writing

The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, o.:
Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use your
Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and
it proved to be excellent remedy. Ihave
not had occasion to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, w. M LORD.
1t will be noticed that the Governor says
he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na Tor
other ailments. The reason for this is, most
other ailments begin with a cold. Using
Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects

actly what every other family in the nited
States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the

What the Track Costs.

Few persons know that on a railway
line like the Santa Fe it costs nearly
as much to renew ties ($935, 900 year
ly) as is paid to station agents and
station clerks; that the annual repairs
of roadway and track ($2, $50 ,OOO) ex-
coed the salaries of trainmen and traf.
fic clerks; that the renewal of rails
($626, 000) costs almost as much as the
telegraph service; that watchmen and
track-walkers draw nearly as much
money ($137,000 as is paid out for
stationery and printing; that the item
of rail fastenings (S250,000 a year,
exceeds the expense of legal service.
But it pays to have the track just
right
