That reminds me of a story they tell
on old Burt Preston, who has a farm

was always a-gittin' his stock killed so

it Knocked off by through freight. The
detective went back an reported, an
they waited to see what Preston I'D do
BY the next mail they got a claim in
which Preston said the 'yeerlin'
weighed 500 pound an was a fine four
gallon milk COW. They threatened to
Jail i'm, an Preston agreed to with
draw his claim. But he got dOWnheart-
ed an traded his place fer a farm on

TT SOUNDS FAMILIAR.

The old adage that history repeats itself" finds verification in many ways and places. The Kansas City Journal. in a discussion of the scandals and infamous wrongs in Indian Territory. says:
 The carpetbaggers. the nonresident off, flee holders. and prospectors are the ele- ment in the population which is the cause of the territorial scandals. This class has robbed the Indian in the past. and through political influence and position and by means of land and trust companies operated by public officials and Indian chiefs, is now trying to oppress and de- fraud the white settler. Tie scheme is to ignorant red man at few cents an acre and to sell again to the necessitous white farmer at exorbitant prices. This is the rascality which has aroused public indig- nation. The bona fide white settler Is going to be protected, but the grafter and official thief, if possible, will be run out of Indian Territory.
 What is happening in the Territory Is just what happened in various Southern has vanished from the memories of many yet living. The carpet-baggers and ad- venturers. in the early reconstruction days, "came down like the wolf on the fold,' as Byron says of the Assyrian .Aosts, and their object was the same as that of their kindred spirits who have been so industriously engaged in the con genial business of spelling the heather, as some of them term it. The methods pursued in the Territory are very much like those used in the South by the con- geners of those of whom The Journal speaks. The people of the South were almost as helpless as the Indians now are those who came down to enrich them- selves at our expense. And we do not remember that The Journal has any re- marks to make about that other reign of the carpetbagger.

Tightly Locked From
 Nervous Spasms.
Phy sicians Could
 Not Prevent Fits.
Dr. Miles Nervine Cured
 My Wife.

Dr. Miles Nervine has been successfully tried in thousands Of cases of nervous disor- ders, but nevershas it made better record than when used in the treatment of fits or spasms. Thousands of testimonials prove this, and Tn nearly every instance the writer has stated that the fits ceased after the first dose ot Ner, vine was given. The statement is repeated in the following:
 Seven years ago my wife commenced having spasms or fits and l called in my home physician and he said she was para; lyzed. He rubbed her with salt water and gave her calomel and she eventually got some better, but in a short time she had another attack. She was confined to heI bed for three months and the doctor could not help her. She had fits frequently, some times very severe. Her hands would cramp so we could not open them and she hnally got so her jaws would become locked Finally I saw the doctor was doing her no good and ordered bottle of Dr. Miles Re storatiye Nervine. She received so much benefit from the first bottle that got some more. She has taken a number of bottles but has never had fit since taking the first lose. She also thinks very highly of Dr. Miles Nerve and Liver Pills and is never without them. If there is any way ot mak- ing this testimonial stronger do so because of the good the Dr. Miles Restorative Nerv- me did my wife. Y. ALLEN, r. M., Elkville, Miss.

Baxter Springs q. ID News.

Baxter springs q. T.) News.
 The last gallant remnant of the once glorious tribe of Modoc Indians are soon 10 depart for their old homes Tn the lava beds of the State of Washington. For
 nearly thirty years they have resided on their little reservation in the Indian Ter
 ritory about ten miles south of Baxter Springs.
 This tribe was at one timc the bravest
 of the brave, and made the most heroic
 stand for their liberty ever made by any
 tribe or nation. With small body of chosen warrlors they stood orr or held
 at bay the entire army of the United
 States for many weeks. They killed Gen eral Canby. commanding the United States forces. and killed and wounded
 more soldiers than there were members of their tribe. They were finally con- quered and after hanging Captain Jack, their head chief, and four others, the bal ance of the tribe was corraied on lands In
 the territory. Every member was allowed
 forty acres of poor land, and they were
 informed thls was all they could expect ] or in other words they must root hog UT uie." All of the old historic members
 of the tribe are dead except Princess
 Mary, the sister of Captain Jack, and old l Lu- u-ke-el-tu, now 105 years old. the bow l and arrow maker of the tribe. Captain
 Jack Steamboat Frank. Scar Faced Char l lie, Schack Nasty Jim and all the old | landmarks of the tribe have gone to the happy hunting grounds. Thelr bones re-
 pose in a strange land, far from deir nauve rocks and hills where they fore | fathers are buried.

TWO OPEN WAYS
REVOLUTION ON THE IsrHMus WOULD PROBABLY BE
 SECRETLY AIDED.
This Government Could Either Make ! Deal with the Insurgents or Force Colombian Authorities
 Into Submission.

| New York Evening Post.
 The Posts special from Washington
 says: Recent developments in Isthmian Canal affairs indicate that this country
 will soon be presented with a program of territorial aggression of exceptional piaus-' ibility. Many public men of prominence express themselves as in favor of inti- mating to the Panama revolutionists that if they will maintain resistance long
 enough to be respectable. this government will see to 1t that they are not run over
 by the superior forces of Colombia. The treaty of 1S46 with Colombia which
 makes 1t our duty to maintain order to
 the extent of keeping transit open on the
 isthmus, greatly facilitates this program.
 No international warfare could go far
 without involving our transit line. The
 substitution of the Hay-Pauncefote for
 the Clayton Bulwer treaty leaves the Uni
 ted States single-handed in anything that
 it may do at the isthmus. The commer- cial nations of Europe are so desirous of
 seeing the canal built with American money that they would not press the point that we were taking the sort of action that under our Monroe Doctrine we should
 severely call any other nation to account
 for attempting.
 An outbreak between Panama and Co.,
 lombia would open two possible avenues of negotiation to us. one with Panama,
 and the other with the executive power of Colombia, for in time of war the Pres ident and cabinet have by the Constitution full power over treaties. The present ex- tension of the French franchise from 1904 to 1910 was made by the executive pow CT" In consideration of $1. .0C0, 900 legitimate ly paid for the privilege.
 Some of the congressional leaders are now claiming that the extension was ille- gal, that the French property reverts to
 the Colombian government next year. France would in such an event protect her
 own stockholders by insisting on the le- would be morally supported by the Uni ted States. A revolution by giving com plete treaty-making authority to the ex- ecutve power would make negotiation much easier for us, aside from the possi- bilty of doing business with Panama. It Is said that If we should go to Mic aragua now the chances of financial
 hold-up there would be just as great as at
 Panama. It is. moreover, becoming evil dent that a canal by that route would be
 hardly worth building. presenting engi-
 neering problems which no man can fore see.
 Most of the Nicaraguans, who would be critical of any intimations that our gov
 ernment was abetting & revolution in
 Panama, are Democrats, and so would be hostile to the administration any way.
 Republicans would stand by the Panama route.
 | It would take little nursing to involve
 the United States in an exercise of power
 not unlike that by which the Hawaiian
 monarchy was overthrown. or the great
 territory of the Southwest secured from | Mexico.
