How Japs Play Ken.

In it's most widely practiced form
the basis of the Japanese game of ken
is that the fully outstretched hand Gig
nifies paper; the fully closed hand, q
stone; and two fingers alone extended
the rest being closed, scissors. Each
of the players, counting one, two
three, throws out his hand at the mo-
ment of pronouncing three, and the
one whose manual symbol is superior
to that Of the others, according to the
theory of the game, wins the trial
Superiority is determined on the
hypothesis that whereas scissors can
not cut stone. they can cut paper,
and whereas paper Is cut by scissors,
It can wrap up stone. Consequently
scissors is inferior to stone, but con-
quers paper: stone is inferior to paper,
but conquers scissors; and paper Is
inferior to scissors, but conquers
stone. There are innumerable varie-
ties of the game-for it is not mere
method of determining q dispute or
priority-and they are constantly add
ed to by ingenious young ladies. the
dancing girl class especially, who play
it with exquisite grace and juqicious
enhancement OF beautiful hands and
arms.-Japan Mail.

yestigate Indian Schools)
ment Of the school is excellent; the
teachers and employees are evidently well
qualified and are earnest in their work.
Like many other boarding schools, how
ever, found very marked overcrowding
in the dormitories. The beds were placed
close together, with only a narrow pas
sage between. In this way 20 or more
Indian children were sleeping in rooms,
which, in my judgment, ought not to
have more than three or four at the
utmost For healthy white children
should consider this very imprudent; for
Indian children, tainted with COM
municable disease, such overcrowding
in dormintories is evidently dangerous.
And is it not plainly culpable?
II noticed in one school room a boy
with a bandage on his head. Scrofula,
was told, was the trouble; on others
saw the scars where scrofulous sores
had been healed. Evidently, as among
other tribes, these Indians were marked
ly tainted with tuberculosis. Under
these conditions, with such overcrowd-
ing in dormitories, boarding school be-
comes hotbed for the propagation of
disease For time the children may ap-
pear robust and healthy, but in few
years the hotbed does It's work; the dis
ease, tuberculosis, is developed. Seven
ty per cent. of the deaths among the
Winnebagoes Is a condition that tells
the story. The boarding schools are evil
IDENTIFY to blame in the matter. Other
conditions, it should be said also help
to make this enormous death rate.
ut should be stated, too, in this con-
nection, that the employees in a boarding
school may be entirely blameless for
this overcoming in dormitories. An
employee is very much like little wheel
in huge piece of machinery Each en-
ploye must do the work assigned or else
get out Of the machine. The great wrong
is there, nevertheless, and the poor In
dian is crushed to death by the huge ma
chinery Of the United States Indian de-
partment. Instead ct the proper meas
ures, which give vigor and health, the
government methods have been in the
opposite direction The Indian should
work steadily and habitually; physical
exercise is beneficial to health; govern
ment rations, lease money and the
like all tend to idleness-the bane of
health.
Abundance Of fresh air, in sleeping
hours, as well as in the daytime is spe-
cially needed for those having tendency
toward consumption The dormitory sys-
TEN, as is practiced In boarding schools,
most emphatically deprives the Indian
children Of that abundance Of fresh air
that they need.
"The reform must come from Wash
ington downward. / consider the gov
eminent methods as responsible for the
deaths of large number Of our Indians"

ONLY ANOTHER INTIMIDATING SCHEME

The soare-head article in yesterday 8
local Democratic organ that hundreds
Of letters sent out to Republican voters
had been returned to the post Office
because the voter could not be found
ct the address he gave when he resis-
tered, is another campaign lie. Moth
ing OF the kind happened.
On account Of the effort Of the Dem
ocrats to intimidate Republican voters
and threaten to arrest and Jail them,
letters were sent to every Republican
voter in the city advising him to pay
no attention to the takes. and If poti-
fed to appear before Judge Lightfoot
to be sure and go.
Only twenty nine letters out Of the
1900 thus sent out came back, and
these letters were found to have been
addressed wrong by the person address
ing the envelopes. or addressed to rail
road men who were out on their runs
when the carrier called.
This is remarkable delivery and

fewer Of the letters came back than ID
usual when . large number Of any
kind Of circulars are sent out, which
is quite often.
The whole story was conoocted by
Democrats, and every letter carrier in
the city knows IL to be untrue.
One thing tina. proves conolusively
that no Republicans have Intentionally
registered illegally or enormously, is
that out of 56 voters heard BY County
Judge Lightfoot yesterday, after being
summoned by the Democratic man.
ayers, not a single one was found who
had registered illegally. Three or four
names were stricken because Of re-
moval from the precinct or because of
registering in the wrong precinct, but
the voter in every instance proved to
be legal voter, and not a single case
Of illegal registration was found.
This is what alarmed the Democrats
and forced them to start another fake
like the letter story to make another
attempt at intimidation.

crossing the Apishsps river, thirty
eight miles east of Pueblo. The wreck
appears 10 have been caused by the re q.
moval OF the spikes from three rails
ON the approach to the bridge, and an
investigation proves conclusively that
the train was deliberately wrecked.
IL generally carries much treasure and
the plan OF the desperadoes il is be-

thirty persons were injured.

But for the accident OF a hot box on
