LEASING BILL IN SENATE

pose of the grazing lands of the west, espe-
cially OF western Nebraska.
MOndelI Opposes Free Coal.


Representative Mondell OF Wyoming. in
explaining his antagonism to the proposed
rebate on the tariff on coal. which comes up
under special rule tomorrow, said to The
Bee correspondent tonight: II shall OPP
pose the bill TO rebate the duty on coal
because such a measure, virtually placing
I coal on the free list for one year, will work
great injury to the coal industry of my
state by placing the product Of our mines
in competition with the coal mined by
! Cinnamon in the Dominion OF Canada. A
considerable portion of the 5,5OO,OOO tons
of coal mined annually in Wyoming finds
a market at Puget Sound points, where it
comes in competition with Goals mined on
Vancouver island by Cinnamon. While our
coal must pay heavy freight toll to reach
| tidewater Vancouver coal reaches our ports
on the payment of a small charge for water
transportation.
"A still larger amount OF Wyoming coal
is marketed in the states Immediately
north and northwest OF us, where IL comes
in competition with coal mined at Leth-
bridge and Dunmoir in Assiniboine This
Canadian coal reaches some of our markets
with less haul than our coal and it is also
mined by Cinnamon. The odds are against
us both in cost of mining and transporta-
tion to market.
THE only good feature OF the proposed
legislation is that il only operates for one
year, but in that time, fear, the loss OF
employment to our miners will be great
and the effect in our coal mining proper
ties in the western part Of the state amount
to virtually confscation and all this is
threatened in order to meet the popular
demand for relief from the present coal
shortage in the east by legislation which,
in my opinion, will not accomplish the
result sought.
Nobody in the west has asked for re-
duction of the coal duties and the result
will be simply to give our western coal
market to Canada, without bringing about
a permanent lowering of the price to the
consumer

"A relieye catarrh have been devised
from tine to time, such as sprays,
snuffs. creams and other local applications
but as a rule, the medical profession has
,ittle or no enthusiasm in the treatment
of oatarrh.
It is generally pronounced by them to be
incurable.
1t therefore created a great sensation in
medical circles when Dr. Hartman an
nounced that he had devised a compound
which would cure catarrh permanently
The remedy was named Peruna and In
a short time became known to thousands
of catarrh sufferers north, south, east and
west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc
runa is a radical cure for catarrh began
TO pour in from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file in
the office of the Peruna Medicine Co.

trio Pl- 1t.

Chicago. Nov. 25.-Mayor Harrison to-
day declared that the city would enter
the electric lighting field at once in COM
petition with the gas trust and the
Chicago Edison and its subsidiary COM
panies. The mayor believes that he has
found a solution of the problem of reg
ulating and reducing the prices of light
to the householders of Chicago. The
attempt to enter the field by selling to
corporations and private individuals
current made in the municipal plant will
it is expected result in an appeal to the
courts by the big lighting corporations.

the city would invite, as it will deter

MUNICIPAL COAL YARDS.
Topeka Mans Suggestion for Being
Independent of Fuel Trust.

Mr.. Alonzo Wordall is the originator
of a new scheme. which has a very
plausible appearance, as most of his
schemes do. 1t is nothing less than
municipal coal yards.
ny not " says Mr.. Wordall "It
is far from impossible. All coal users
are at the mercy of the trusts. They
raise the price for no particular reason
except that they want the money. 1t
costs very little more to mine coal
than 1t did when coal was SO q ton It
costs no more for transportation than
it did then A city coal yard can be
established here. and coal sold for So.
L know it. Here is my idea: Let the
city take vote on the proposition. and
it will win. Then lease coal lands in
Usage county, build a trolley line down
there, and you have the solution of the
problem. 1t is not a question of pow
erty. This city has voted enough
money to railroads to build three troll
ley lines from here to the coal fields
The Intermediate towns would help
build the road. and get in on the
ground floor. Let the whole thing
mines, road and coal yards-be owned
and operated by the city of Topeka
and the intermediate towns Give the
people a chance to vote on that propo-
sition, and am confident that it will
win by large ajOrity"

KILLED BIZ BATH.
Indian Boy Falls Dead at Jica-
rilla School.

Washington, Nov. 25.-News of trou-
BILE with the threats of violence at the
Jicarilla Indian school in New Mexico
reached the interior department today
from Superintendent Johnson in charge
there He telegraphed that an Indian
boy who had entered the school fell dead
in the arms of Industrial Teacher Philip
Sayles, Immediately after a bath yes
terday and that another boy who was
being dieted on account of stomach
trouble had eaten a large quantity of
prunes which he had stolen from the
school kitchen and that his death re-
suited.
The Indians on the reservation, the
superintendent stated, are very super
stitious and the father of the boy who
ate the prunes having arrived just be-
fore his son died had wrought the other
members into a high pitch of excite
ment.
They believe in witchcraft and they
place the blame for. the death of both
boys on the industrial teacher, and are
threatening to attack the school with
the avowed purpose of rescuing their
their boys. Mr.. johnson stated that
they had called a council to meet next
Saturday. and that unless they could
be pacifed they would undoubtedly
become violent The superintendent
added he was using persuasion, but
that the Indians have refused to listen
to his appeals.
Commissioner Jones of the Indian
office wired Mr.. Johnson to allay the
excitement if possible and to telegraph
developments. The commissioner sug-
gested in his telegram that if neces-
sary he would transfer Sayles to some
other reservation.

TREATY OF 1916.
Hitherto Unpublished Correspond
ence Made Public.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The senate in
executive session has made public the
correspondence submitted by President
Polk in 1S47, in regard to the treaty of
1876, between the United States and
New Granada. 1t is stated that these
papers have never been published. They
consist of protocols, between Benjamin
Bidlack, charge of the United States at
Bogota. and Manuel MaIer1nO, secre-
tary of foreign affairs for New Granada.
There is a report by the latter official
pointing out the advantage of the
treaty to the United States in view of
the attitude of Great Britain, which he
declares, unveils a preconceived and
long meditated intention of graspine the
most valuable mercantile spots of
America. putting the competition of the
United States out of the question and
declaring her will as a law in all mat
ters concerning the consumption of for
eign commodities"
In communication to Secretary of
State Buchanan Mr.. Bidlacx discusses
the control of the isthmus in which, he
says, that Secretary Mallerino had said
that if New Granada ''ceded to the Unit
ed States the right of way across the
tsthmus, he presumed the United States
would guarantee to New Granada the
isthmus, or at least as much of it as
was required for the construction of a
canal or a railroad upon the most
favorable route"
Mr.. Bidlack in transmitting a draft
of the treaty to Secretary Buchanan
had the following to say regarding the
transit across the Isthmus:
