 DETERMINED NOT TO RUN

TROUBLE EXPECTED
 WITH THE INDIANS
coLoRED TROOPS ARE SENT our TO EJECT OUTLAW LEADER FROM MONTANA RESERVATION, WHERE HE HAS ALLIES.

Missouan, Mont. November 27.-A spec ial to the Missoulan from Plains, Mont, says:
 There is every indication of trouble be- tween the colored troops sent up to the reservation to eject Joe Morigeau and his band of outlaws and the Neg Perces Indians. which are said to be supporting Morigeau. The soldiers arrived at 3;9O this morning. and an hour later were loaded into wagons and started on the forty mile drive to Little Bitterroot.
 Three hours later govegnment officials came in by another trail and reported that Morigeau was still on the reserya- ton and defiant. They state that the Indian police positively refused to attempt to eject the cattlemen. owing to their fear of the Neg Perces
 The Neg Perces are q band of about 100 men under Chief Carrier Water. and have been located in Isolated sections of the Flathead reservation for tGe past year. They refuse to recognize the federal ofli- cers or the Indian police, and have kept off the Flatheads for months.
 Morigeau has engaged the band to as- sist him and unless Major TOrrey and his soldiers get hold of the cattle before the Neg Perces are brought up trouble is bound to occur.
 Troops sent out from Mlssoulan are all veterans and picked fighters. and are represented to twice outnumher tH" ''"" of the Neg Perces.

 Poisoned By Nihilists.

Berlin, November 27.-Another rumor has been circulated here that the czar- ina's real illness, as bulletined by the doctors. is incorrect. and the Morgen Post. from a Polish source attributes 1t to the eating of food that nihiists suc- ceeded in placing near their majesties.
 Die Morgen Post merely notes the ru- nor published in the Polish press that the death of the Princess Elizabeth. daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse, was caused by eating decayed oysters. Die Morgen Post. in referring to this rumor made no mention whatever of the czar or czarina

 My Dear McKelvay.-I have wanted for a long time to say something which think should be said to you before others.
 You can never know how grateful am at the manifestation of the kindly feeling toward me on the part of my countrymen, which your initiative has brought out. Your advocacy in the Eagle of my nomination for the presidency came to me as a great surprise, and 1t has been seconded in such a manner by democratic sentiment that conflicting thoughts of gratitude and duty have caused me to hesitate as to the time and manner of a declaration on my part concerning the subject-if such a declar- ation should be necessary and proper.

HERRAN WILL TALK
 THE MATTER OVER
COLOMBIAN CHARGE WILL CON- FER WITH GEN. REYES ON HIS
 ARRIVAL IN WASHINGTON RE- GARDING DIPLOMATIC MISSION.

Washington. November 27.-Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge, will have a confer conference tomorrow with General Reyes, the commissioner from Colombia, who is expected to arrive here in the morning. At this conference it will be decided with whom General Reyes shall confer. It is assumed he has proper credentials and that he will have conferences with state department officials, well as with the members of the Panama commission.
 1t is said the Bolivar commissioners will be parties to any conferences that may occur only by courtesy. as they have only letters to Dr. Herran from the gov ernor of Bolivar Their mission to Wash ington is to obtain accurate information from him regarding the Isthmian situa- ton.
 In the opinion of Dr. Herran the con- tention of the Panamans that Panama cannot be expected to assume a pro rata share of the Colombian debt for the req son that Panama was not part of Co., lombia at the time the debt was incurred is not sound. Dr. IIerran pointed out today that the decisive battle by which the United Stas.s of Colo'Abia freed itself from the Spanish yoke occurred in 1Sl3 and that from that date Panama always has been regarded as an integral part of Colombia
 Vandine as he poxed his face through the cab window, he turned loose with both barrels. A number of shot struck Van dine in the head and face and one hit him in the throat causing him trouble. When they left the train. both men were barely able to travel. The country at that place is rough, sandy and cut up by gravel pits. The two desperadoes made slow progress. The farmers, railroad laborers and officers of the Pennsylvania railorad were soon close on the fugitives heels.
 Tracked Through Snow.
 It was easy to track them in the new fallen snow and the hunt was speedily closed. The men were seen as they lodged about in the sand dunes and the farmers, most of whom were armed with double barrelled shotguns, opened fire on them. Niedermier received charge full in the head and the blood streamed down his face and into his eyes, binding him so that he could hardly see. A shot grazed Vandine's head. carrying off some of his hair and his wounded leg was weakened.
 The posse was closing in on all sides. There was TO escape and it was evident to both men that the time had come either 10 surrender or fight to the death. Both men were heavily armed and 1ble to take more lives before both lost thei- own. but as Vandine said tonight in dis cussing his surrender, there would have been no good in that, as we never shoot anybody unless we have to- and killing any of these fellows would not have left me off. The jig was up for Us. no mat ter how many we killed. l said to Pcte; Well, what do you think" He nodded his head and dropped his gum and that's how they got us.

Bunau-Varilla Says Union With Cauca
 Is improbable.

Washington, November 27-Regarding the reports which have come from the isthmus of Pang ma of proposition from the Colombian state of Cauca to join the new republic of Panama, NJ. Bunau-Var :lla the minister from Panama, scouts the idea of any such union. He declares that such proposal would not for a mo ment be entertained by the republic of Panama. The latter is a unit by itself, and as such, will remain so.
 The department of Cauca is separated from Panama by dense wilderness which the minister says, makes the division as great for practical purposes as though there were body of water.

CARTER LEAVES
 PRISON TODAY Former Captain VIII Seek Vin-
 dicatiOn of Honor MAKES FIRST COMMENT
Says Although Crimes Have Been Com. mitted Against Him His Honor Is Still Unsullied and He
 Has Proof.

Leavenworth Kan, November 27.-The doors of the Leavenworth prison will open al o'clock tomorrow morning for oberlin M. Carter formerly a captain of engi- neers in the United States army. Con- victed by a courtmartial of conspiracy to defraud the government, he has finish ed term of five years imprisonment, having a credit of ten months for good be- havlor.
 Carter will leave tomorrow for Chicago and will be met by Horace G. Stone, his attorney, who has been collecting eYi- dence in the civil cases pending in the United States court, through which the former army officer hopes to get vindica- ton. Judge Kohlsaat is to decide wheth- CT Carter Is entitled to valuable bonds and real estate which the government claims were secured illegally.
 Public Will Have Proof.
 MT Stone declared today that before tho case is ended. the public will have ample proof that the large amount of money which aroused suspicion against Carter was secured from his father-in- law, Robert F. Westcott, deceased. who was a millionaire in New York. MT. West colt, according to MT. Stone, was gener- ous with his son-in-law and when he turned over $4OO. GOO of bonds shortly after Carter's arrest, the latter accepted the gift as a matter of course. The next day Mr Westcott left for Europe. Later he gave testimony in the -Gaynor case which proved damaging to his son- uT'a Ia pi in that he said the bonds were gained from the contractors.
 We now have proof from Westcott' 8 Tank books and other records" said Mr. Stone, which tends to show that this is not true.''
 United States Commissioner Booth re- gently reported to Judge Kohlsaat that he believed Carter's uncle and brother, Lorenzo and Stanton Cartsr. had turAed over all the propfrty belonging to the former military officer.
 Carter Is Hopeful.
 MT. Stone today received a letter from his client in which Carter wrote: At the coming trial in the federal court in Chicago it will be shown beyond cavil that every dollar l had was properly re- ceved by me. that I always served my country Loyalty and intelligently; that the work entrusted to my care was properly. successfully and economically done in the best possible manner: that l always did my duty as an officer of the corps of engineers; and that. although crimes have been committed against me, my honor is unsullied."
 This is said to be the first comment or his case which Carter has made public since his incarceration

FROM
 MR. WILLIAMS Objected to Inactivity Policy of
 the Republicans MIR PAYNE MAKES A REPLY Republican Party Is Too Wise to Revise the Tariff on the Eve of an
 Electionn-RooseveIt Is
 Cautious.
MIR PAYNE MAKES A REPLY

Washington, November 27-(Special)- Representative Williams of Mississippi made a strong speech in the house this morning against the republican inactivity policy. Contrary to the general expecta- ton, MT. Williams said that he would not today make the point of no quorum but would content himself with submitting a few remarks on the three days ad- journment plan when there was a ways and means committee ready for business and a popular demand for tariff revision.
 MT. Williams speech brought out re- ply from Representative Payne the chairman of the ways and means com mittee, which is the first authorative statement on republican policy on the tariff question. ''The republican party is too wise" declared MT. Payne, ito revise the tariff on the eve Of an erection"
 No Chance for Revision.
 Of course there was never any chance for tariff revision Under the republican party at the approaching session. The President long ago made cnange of front and there is no assurance that there Will be reN1SiOn, even 1T the re- publican party carries the Presidential election.
 The constantly increasing difference be- tween the current receipts and expenses of the government is also serving to alarm the republican leaders ana is giving them an excuse against cut in custom re- ceipts.
 For the twenty-five days of the present month the excess of expenditures was over 5000, 900 and the period from June 30, to date shows a deficit of $4,500000. For the twenty-five days of November last year there was a deficit of 100000, the excess of receipts for the four months of last year was nearly poo. The large difference between the two periods was caused by increased expenditures this year.
 Treasury 5hows Loss.
 The combination of a decrease in re- ceipts and an increase in expenditures for the current year leaves the treasury, com pared with the same period of 1902. with net loss of $16,367,300 The loss in revenue this year was entirely in customs, the figures showing in comparison with last year a falling off of $12,00000O, while the internal revenue receipts increased $3,00O,- 000
 These figures will be used by the Pres ident in his forthcoming message to urge economy. and as has been stated, the leaders are going to set their faces against all measures which take large sums for the treasury, such as a rivers and harbors and public buildings and grounds bills.

Taught By Experience.

Mir Payne said the republicans passed d tariff measure in 1890 just before elec- tion and lost. He did not think condi- tions would be disturbed at this time in view of that lesson. Referring to the Wilson, German bill, he said it had such a bad odor that some are now trying to revise history, adding that 1t appeared now that Mr. German had nothing to do with it.
 Mir. Payne's measure carried, 4S1 to 63; division being called for by MT. Will Hams.
 MT. Meyers of Louisiana called up his resolution providing for the acceptance of the invitation to the members of the house to be present at the Louisiana purchase celebration in New orleans, but objection was made to it's consideration.
 MT. Bartholdt of Missouri was granted unanimous consent to make an address on the Louisiana Purchase exposition to be held in St. Louis next year. He re- viewed what had been accomplished and what was being provided for the public.
 The house at 1:20 o'clock adjourned un- til Tuesday.

We have repeatedly sug-
gested to the ministers and
deacons of the many churches
of our city that they furnish
us each week with the name
of minister, subject, and, in
fact, any other announce
ments that would be of inter-
est to the church-going people
of the city. We get their
promises, but that is all; and
no one knows, when they go
to church on Sunday, whether
the regular minister or a visi-
tor is to occupy the pulpit,
what subject has been chosen,
or, in fact, anything else re-
garding the doings at Gods
house. These are matters
that the public are interested
in, and so long as we are only
too glad to give the space nee
essary, it does look like the
church workers should give
the matter some thought.
This shall be our last request,
and if you do not get the an
nouncements from now on,
remember that it is through
no fault of ours, but the fault
of insufficient interest taken
by the ministers and church
workers in not making more
of an effort to get the people
out to worship on Sunday, or
at prayer-meetings during the
week.

Another Mad Dog Bites a
Child at Van Buren,.

On last Thursday, the little
eight-year-old son of Mrs. Ide
Long, of Van Buren,, was
brought to this place to have
the mad stone applied to a
wound on his hand made by a
rabid dog some days past.
When the stone was applied,
it adhered one hour and forty
minutes.
Last week we published an
article, and, in fact, there has
scarcely been an issue of this
paper gotten out in the three
months it has been issued,
that has not contained an arti-
Gle about people being bitten
by mad dogs. Is it not high
time that the good people of
the county shoulder arms and
go on a dog hunt and kill
everyone to be found! The
time of year is now near at
hand for the reports to be COM
ing in of sheep being killed,
and now would be a good time
to put a stop to such losses.
You may have dogs that you
are fond of, and, by them like
by your children, you think
there is no wrong that they
could do. Both have happen
ed. People who have dogs of
value should keep them chain
ed or housed, and held per-
sonally responsible for damage
to property and loss of life,
and to all others that are not
so kept, a button" or a load
of shot given.

Kills Two Birds with One Stone.

Last week three negroes got
into a fight over game of
craps here in town and the
"cuss" words were freely passed
until the street was reached,
when one negro whose name
is said to be Mckee, picked up
a brick and told the two who
were following him UP to cease
their pursuit. This they failed
to do, and he let fly the
brick, which struck one of the
negroes in the head and bound
ed over to the Uranium of the
other, which sent both down
"for the count" No arrests were
made, as few saw the scrap"
and the ones who were taking
part in it swore out no warrants.
