IOWA STATE TROOPS
HOLD OFF REGULARS

Defensive Hawkeye Line.

FORT RILEY, Kan, Oct. 21.-F'ive
states against the United States and
practically an even break all around
was the result of the military exer-
cises today. The problem for today
was that each body of state troops
should take up defensive position and
there await an attack by a force of
United States regulars against it. The
Iowa regiment took its place on the
Ogden flats and was there attacked by
a force of the Tenth cavalry, which
drew off after spirited action without
penetrating the line of men from the
Hawkeye state, who were handled well
by their officers. The regulars did not
get through. Texas also held its own.
One of the most spectacular fights Of
the day was that between the Second
Nebraska and the Fourth cavalry,
which terminated by the state troops
holding their ground always, saving
what might have been done to them by
that terrible imaginary main body
which was supposed to be coming up
behind the advance of the attacking
force,

FRIENDS OF INDIANS
DO SOME TALKING
DR.. jackson Says the Natives in Alaska
Are Corrupted by Whites.

LAKE MOHONK, n. Y, Oct 21.-
The Mohonk Indian conference opened
its twenty first annual session here to-
day. John D. Long, eX-secretary of
the navy, the president of the confer
ence, being absent at the opening
meeting, James Wood, vice president,
presided. DR.. Sheldon Jackson, the
agent of the national bureau of educa
ton in Alaska, delivered an address,
describing the condition of the Indians
in that territory. The condition of the
natives, formerly so promising, had
rapidly changed for the worse, the
speaker said, since the recent rush of
miners to that region. Under the de-
grading influences and associations of
the mining camps, the natives were
contracting habits of idleness and vice,
were abandoning their former occupa-
tons and becoming paupers and de-
pendentS. Sc alarming had the situa-
ton become that a strong pressure was
now being brought to bear upon the
secretary of the interior by white set
tiers to have these Indians brought I'M
der the reservation system to save
them from speedy starvation and ruin.
DR.. Jackson declared himself opposed
to the reservation system, but, he said,
the problem was most difficult and that
something must be done soon to save
the Indians from utter determination.

INDIANAPOLIS EDITOR
is KILLED BY A FALL
Samuel E. Morss, of the Sentinel, Meets
Horrible Fate.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 81 -
Samuel E. Morss, editor and proprietor
of the Indianapolis Sentinel, fell from
the third story window of his office in
the Sentinel building today and lived
but fifteen minutes. Mr.. Morss had
been in bad health for some time and
it was announced by his private secre-
tary that he had probably opened the
window for air and was overcome by
heart trouble. Financial troubles have
been worrying him recently. He left a
widow and one daughter.
Mr.. Morss was born in Fort Wayne,
Ind, Dec. 10, 1852 In 1871-75 he was a
member of the editorial staff and edi-
tor chief of the Fort Wayne Ga
zette and later became editor and part
owner of the Fort Wayne Sentinel. He
was one of the founders of the Kansas
City Star. From 1888 to 1888 he was
chairman Of the Indiana delegation to
the national Democratic convention and
a member of the committee on resolu-
tions. From 1893 to 1897 he was con-
sui at Paris.

the large business interests OF the
country are in no danger, and that
there appears to be no possibility of a
repetition of the unfortunate expert
ences of ten years ago.
The worst feature of the present
situation is that the difficulties which
were bound to come as a consequence
of over speculation and of tremen-'
dous imitation of capitalized values are
increased and intensified by political
action taken without warrant and
without occasion. At the moment when
the securities of new and more or less
untried concerns are being subjected
to the severe test of market pressures,
other securities which are neither new
nor experimental, but which have an
actual and indestructible value as
real as that of government bonds.
based upon their cash earning and
ing hammered down and subjected to
suspicion by political attacks upon
capital. 1t needs no argument to show
that when the one sort of collateral is
weakening by it's own inherent de-
fects, when loans on such securities
are being contracted accordingly and
the demand for money is made that
much more severe, it is an extremely
disagreeable and dangerous factor in
the situation to have securities that
ought to stand at their old quota lions
and to be good for cash. either as COL
lateral or in the market, made largely
unavailable because of uncertainties
in their title to value raised by at
tacks upon property rights in the
courts for political purposes.
1t is this last fact that strains the
situation and makes it serious. That
the country will pull through without
disaster, every one believes. The most
necessary policies to that end are a
stern and complete liquidation in the
case of worthless or watered stocks,
and a cessation of political assaults
upon those that do represent the solid
values of the country and should be
the most available to help borrowers
and banks and capital generally in any
time of trouble

HELPING HIM OUT.

The people who are disguised with
the performances of Dowie, who detect
the sham in the man and wish to ex-
pose it, are unconsciously helping him
along by doing exactly what he wants
them to. These are the clergymen who
denounce him from the pulpit, the
newspaper men who denounce him
through the press, and all others who in
any public way attempt to interfere with
his performances. This is exactly
what Dowie wants. 1t is the meat
upon which he has thriven and grown
great.
1t seems strange that these we'll
meaning people do not perceive that
they are playing Dowie's game DR..
Parkhurst, of course, has scarcely
enough sense left to perceive anything;
but those with more Intelligence than
he keep hammering away at Dowie as

They furnish fuel for his denuncia-
tons; they keep him in the public
mind; they rouse for him a certain
sort of sympathy; and, above all, they
take people to his meetings to hear
what he has to say in reply to attacks
made upon him. These well meaning
but very foolish critics of Dowie have
been the main cause of his rise to pop
ularity and power, and they are now
helping him over one of the most diff
f1cult places in his career. Let
Dowie alone, say nothing whatever
about him and he would presently sink

AN EMPEROR BREACHES

The other day Kaiser Wilhelm gave
a fresh proof of his surprising versa
tility. He preached a sermon that was
a model ministerial discourse; COM
pact, meaty, practical. Prepared
ostensibly for the spiritual guidance
of two of his sons, the very good shape
in which the sermon reached the Ger
man people would seem to intimate
that one royal eye, at least, was open
to their needs when the royal preacher
preached. Among other things he said:
Il advise you from the bottom OF my
heart TO toll and work without ceasing.
That is the kernal of Christian life.
He who will be most heavily punished
is he who does nothing, who goes with
the stream. May each of you strive
to do his best in his province, to be-
come a parsonage and to grow UP with
his tasks according to the example Of
his Savior. Strive so that what you
undertake shall be joy to your fell
low men, or at least be of service to
them; then you will have accomplished
what is expected of you
The emperor seems thoroughly up

the way of a sermon, criticism,
reprimand or a reward, is unusual;
for this insight is not Hohenzollern
heritage. It is his persistent aim to
drown the national German note of
pessimism with his own personal nore
of optimism.
If he chooses to regard the fierce
light which beats upon his throne as a
lime light, at least he is a player with
serious purpose. He will not permit
his audience to forget him, not be-
cause of personal vanity merely. but
because he believes that it is better
for that audience that it should re-
member him. Undoubtedly he derives
much pleasure from treading the
boards. What actor, with or without
a purpose, does not? And, undoubted-
ly, he is not immune from one of the
great faults of the profession, jealousy.
1t is probable that not even for the
sake of "the fatherland" would he
tolerate a rival within the arc of the
lime light. He will elevate the empire,
he will dispense with the row of units
in the German federation, if he can,
in order that the sum total may stand
out more prominently, but he will do it
alone. Meanwhile the world finds both
amusement and interest in watching
his process; even that portion which
would be disappointed should it prove
a success.

NEW PRESIDENT FOR NORTHERN
PACIFIC.

Speculation concerning the presiden-
been active ever since the immediate
retirement of Mr.. Mellen was assured
was set at rest yesterday by the selec-
ton of Mr.. Howard Elliott, formerly sec
ond vice president of the Burlington sys-
tenn. The name of Mr.. Elliott had only
recently been mentioned in connection
with many others for the position, be-
cause of his known experience and eff
ficiency as a railroad man.
The choice is unanimously agreed to
be an excellent one. Although Mr. FL
lott is still a young man, he has a
splendid record. His rise in the rail-
road world has been rapid and was
achieved by ability and hard work. He
has been highly successful n the i'm
portant positions that he held, and
brings to his new post the trained
mind and familiarity both with princi-
pies and details that it demands. The
Northern Pacific is now one of the
great railroad properties of the coun-
try. For its successful administration
high degree of ability is required
and those who know Mr.. Elliott best
believe that he is the man for the DO
slticn. st. Paul will welcome him to
his new place and honors, and all
those interested in the Northern Pa
cific are confident that its future has
been confided to strong and able hands.

JUCCLE WITH LANDS
"Graft'' Ring on the Pacific
Slope Is Discovered.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 21.-The Ore
gonian today says that the government
mas unearthed a land graft" ring that
mas been carrying on a business in
every we'll timbered area on the Pa
cine slope. This ring has not only ac-
quired base" lands by dummies and
other fraudulent means; it has de-
Dauched state land officials, making
them hirelings of partners in the bust
ness; 1t has maintained in the general
land office at Washington agents whose
duties were to leak" information
about proposed reserves and other
prohtable matter; and by use of money
mas influenced placing of reserve
boundaries to it's owp interests. The
central figures of this conspiracy are
said to be in San Francisco.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 21.-Only
general confirmation can he secured
here of the report of extensive fraudu-
lent practices in regard to public lands
on the Pacific coast. The department
ofhcials have been convinced for over
a year that there was combinations of
spectators seeking control of the pub
lie lands fer their own purpose, and re-
Gently special agents have been work
ing in the field to secure evidence of
the frauds. A great number of land
entries in all the Pacific coast states
have been held up for investigation.
The methods of the spectators are
varied, but the most common proceed
ing is to secure patented lands within
forest reservations and then exchange
them for more valuable lands on the
outside. Persons living on the west
ern slope have charged that some for
est reservations have been created with
this end in view, the land holders with
IN them being responsible for creating
the sentiment which led. to their estab-
Hshment. This charge is among those
now being investigated. Many entries
of land under the timber and stone act
are regarded with suspicion, the Off
Gals believing that the entrymen have
taken the lands for speculative pur-
poses rather than for their own use
and benefit, as the law requires.
1t is generally believed that many
thousands of acres of the public do
main have thus fallen into the hands
of spectators and charges of con-
spiracy are freely made, yet so far no
definite effort at prosecution has been
undertaken.
One plan of operation is to buy lands
enclosing areas which are liable to be-
come parts of forest reservations. 1t is
said they often secure these for 81 or
81 an acrea, whereas when the reser-
vations are created the value is in
creased to S. and $6 an acre.
Gov. Chambers, of Oregon, is here
comforting with the secretary of the
interior. He claims that the state has
lost a consiG> rable sum in this way
and is endeavOring to secure a settle
ment which will reimburse the state.

FINANCIAL DISTURBANCE AT
THE EAST,

The duty of the public is not to al
low itself to be wrought into any
hysterical conditions by the collapse
of important financial institutions in
the city of Baltimore, which will no
doubt be followed by other financial
difficulties there and elsewhere. The
that there was no symptom of general
financial trouble and no fears of a
panic, and this is true if the people as
a whole do not lose their heads. We
are by no means through with the
processes of liquidation yet, and it will
be well to keep a cool head and
steady hand until it is complete.
There have been warnings in plenty.
For five or six years every con-
sentative financial journal or 9TH
er authority in the country has,
day after day, stated the danger to
bankers and managers of other finan-
cial institutions of loading up with
these newly foated securities as col
lateral. There was the danger, and
the only danger, to the general bust
ness interests of the country. The
private investor would suffer, and so
would prosperity in the larger sense,
if he bought stocks with his own
money at price two or three times
as great as he could sell them for
later. But such losses will administer
no shock to the general financial sys-
tem.r. If, on the other hand, banks and
cradle portion of their funds on paper
that afterwards deprecated greatly,
or even ceased to have a market value
at all, then these unwise concerns
must eventually go to the wall.
This is what has happened to the
Baltimore institutions. The MARYLAND
Trust company admits that it has
been struggling with undigested Sc
curities." Its depositors could not be
manded their money. The loans made
on these securities, for which there is
now no sale, could not be paid. and the
company went to pieces. Since it's
total deposits are nearly S6,OOO,OOO, the
effect upon the public is bound to be
serious The other company failed be-
cause it was the fiscal agent of another
inflated railroad scheme, and went
down in the same way as soon as ite
difficulties became public property.
1t may as well be stated plainly that
wherever there are other institutions
that have been equally unwise they
viii be welded out. Those who would
not heed the warnings dinned into
their ears for years past must pay the
penalty. The time when you could
form a stock company on any old basis,
issue paper to as many millions as it
pleased you and place the stock some
where to your advantage, either as
cash sale or as collateral for cash ad-
vances, has gone by. That Industry
is exactly in the condition of the real
estate market in a community that
has had a big boom when the boom
days are over. The price of folly must
be paid.
We thoroughly believe that financial
institutions the country over that hold
the peoples money are in excellent
condition. They have seen the inevita-
bic long distance ahead, have been
careful in their loans and are not load
ed with worthless paper. 1t is not a
mere effort, therefore, to soothe or to
prevent public alarm, but the state
ment of substantial fact to say that
