Commissioner Jones has just issued an
order which threatens to bring him as
much undesirable notoriety as his famous
hair cut order" of year ago. Mr.
Jones, largely at the instigation of Hamlin
Garland, the we'll known writer and STU
dent of Indian life, has ordered all agents
to try and induce the Indians to adopt a
logical system of nomenclature. 1t is
especially urged that the Indian name of
the father in each family be adopted as a
surname and borne by all the children
and by the mother This is especially
important on those reservations where
the lands are being allotted and where
the laws of heredity will soou become
applicable. AS Indians are now named
there is absolutely nothing to indicate to
what family each belongs, as no indi-
vidual bears more than one name. Some
of the newspapers have taken up this, as
they did the hair cut order, and are mis-.
representing the intention of the Com
missioner and Mr.. Garland, and attempt
ing to show that they wish to abolish all
Indian names and substitute therefor such
common names as Smith, Jones, Brown,
etc. Instead of this being the fact every
effort is to be made to preserve the Indian
names, although in some instances the
more cumbrous will need to be somewhat
abbreviated.

latter says that the Pottawattamies and
the Kickapoos are becoming ruined be-
cause of a surplus of wealth. Mr. Dick
son says that a few years ago these In
dams were prosperous and thrifty, they
owned their homes and in many instances
had considerable stock. Now, their lands
have been leased and they are living on
the rentals. Asa result they have become
idle and thriftless, are spending their

the Indians have more land than they
can probably farm themselves it is a
serious problem TO know how best to

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.


WASHINGTON, April Sth, 1903.
The Postofice investigation still pro-
crosses and while the officials refuse to
make public the results it is ascertained
that evidences of reckless extravaganza
have been discovered and that they will
be followed by reorganization which
will make their repetition impossible.
Protests from prominent politicians con-
tinued to reach the President up to the
day of his departure from Washington.
Ex-Assistant Postmaster General Perry
Heath came all the way from Salt Lake
to try and save his friends, and it is
understood that Mr.. James S. Clarkson,
Committee, urged upon Mr.. Roosevelt
the inadvisability of making too many
enemies at this time, but the investiga-
tons are still going on and First Assist
ant Postmaster Wynne has assured your
correspondent that they will continue
until everything is probed to the bottom
and that no favor will be shown anyone
because of politial influence.

Secretary Hay is much pleased because
Minister Leishman at Coustantinople has
succeeded in delivering into the hands of
the Sultan the letter of the President re-
monstrating against many abuses of the
rights of American citizens. When Mr.
Leishman finally succeeded in seeing the
Sultan the latter protested his gratifica-
ton at the receipt of the letter and prom
ised to give the matter his personal atten-
ton but the American Minister has been
| trying to gain an audience for many days
without success and it is probable that
only the publication of the determination
of the United States to secure justice at
any cost finally won for him the ear of
his Ottoman Majesty. One of the chief
grievances of the United States rests on
the fact that the Sultan refuses to recog-
nize as American citizens those Arme-
mans who have been naturalized in this
country and then returned home to attend
to their business affairs Other subjects
! of protest are the refusal of the Ottoman
Government to recognize the graduates
| of American medical schools and permit
them to practice medicine within the
Empire and similar neglect to recognize
American diplomas in other professions.

A dispatch was sent out from Chicago on

CONDITIONS OF CROPS
WEATHER BUREAUS WEEKLY SUM-
MARY OF THE OUTLOOK.
Damage from Frost Not Serious Ex-
cept i'm n Few States-Large Part of
Corn Crop Regarded as Safe.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop condi-
tons is as follows:
While the week has been abnormaIly cool,
with general frosts throughout the central
valleys and as far south as the northern
portion of the central gulf States, the dam
age has not been serious, except in the ex-
IRENE western portions of Kansas and Ne
braska, the Dakotas, Minnesota Wisconsin
and New England. The south Atlantic
States have suffered from excessive mois-
ture. while the heavy rains of the previous
week over the northern portions of the Mis-
souri, and upper Mississippi valleys delayed
thrashing OF spring wheat and caused grain
i'm shock to sprout. Drought has been large
ly relieved in the east gulf States. but con-
tinues in the Ohio valley, Tennessee and
in the central and west gulf States. The
Pacific coast States have experienced very
favorable week.
Notwithstanding the occurrence Of light
to heavy frosts generally throughout the
corn belt. the corn crop has escaped injury
except i'm the western portions of Kansas
and Nebraska and in the Dakotas. Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. While low tempera-
lures have prevented rapid ripening, espe-
cially over the Western districts, the crop,
as whole, has advanced favorably, al
though the late planted in the Ohio and
Tennessee valleys has suffered from drought
large part of the crop is now safe, but
the bulk of the unmatured will require from
one to two weeks of favorable weather.
The weather has been favorable for the
completion of spring wheat harvest on the
north Pacific coast. In the Dakotas and
Minnesota spring wheat in shock has been
injured and thrashing delayed by wet
weather.
Except i'm portions of the eastern districts
of the cotton belt where cotton picking has
been interrupted by rains, the weather con-
ditions have been very favorable for gath
ering the CROP and this work has pro-
crossed rapidly. The prevalence of rust,
shedding and boil worms is Widespread, and
the boil weevil in Texas continues destruc-
tive, although premature opening in South
Carolina rust in Georgia and shedding in
Alabama have been somewhat checked.
Heavy rains have injured the staple in
Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. Cot
ton is opening rapidly in all districts. The
outlook for a top crop is not promising.
Late tobacco has suffered from drought in
Tennessee and Kentucky, and heavy rains
in North Carolina and frosts caused some
injury in Kentucky. Damp weather has
proved injurious to tobacco in barns in
Maryland. The bulk of the crop is now
housed. The reports continue to indicate
extensive prevalence Of blight and decay in
potatoes.
Flowing and seeding have advanced sat
isfactorily except in the Ohio valley and
Tennessee. where the soil has been too dry.
and in the northern portion of the middle
Atlantic States, where there has been too
much rain.

She lost her little boy to-day;
Her eyes were moist and sweet
And tender when he went away
To hurry down the street.
She stood there for the longest while.
And watched and watched him: then
She said-and tried to force a smile
Hell not come back again
Inside the house her tears would come:
She sank into chair
And sobbed above the battered drum
And trumpet lying there.
The sunshine stole into the place
IL only made her sad
With thinking Of the pretty grace
His baby tresses had.
She minded all his little ways:
She went TO see his crib
Up in the attic: then to gaze
At platter. spoon and bib,
And all the trinkets he had thought
SO fair to look upon
Each one of them this murmur brought:
My little boy has gone"
She wandered through the house all day
To come on things he'd left:
And. oh, she missed his running play
And felt herself bereft.
When he came home. with shining eyes
To tell of schools delight.
She kissed and held him mo;herwise
With something OF alright.
This is the pain in mothers hearts
When school days have begun.
Each knows the little boy departs
And baby days done:
Each mother fam would close her ears
And hush the calling bell:
For somehow In its tone she hears
The sounding OF kneii.
