INDIAN WEAK
NUMERICALLY
Would Equal POpu-
Iation of City of
Milwaukee.

Rev. Robert w. Mclaughlin
Of Grand Rapids, presented a
report Oct. 81 to the Ameri-
can Missionary society, in ses-
sion at Cleveland, in which he
had the following to say OF the
Indian question:
Gather all the Indians from
the gulf to the Canadian line,
and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and you will then have
a city about the size of Milwau-
kee. The negro question num-
erically is forty times as great
as the Indian question. The
Indian reservations today cover
an area equal to all the New
England states, New York New
Jersey and half Of Pennsylvania.
The Indian has in the vaults OF
the United States government
240 million dollars. If this
money should be equally divid-
ed among them and the t mill
lion receiving it should go upon
their separate reserves as a ma
tion they would constitute per
capita the wealthiest nation in
the world. The Indian posses
ses the most elaborate and ex-
tensive school system ever es-
tablished by a nation for its de-
pendent children. He has more
schoolhouses than he knows
what to do with, Viewed from
the standpoint Of governmental
administration, the problem to-
day is really how wisely to dc
less for him, how to give him
an appreciation of his posses
sions based upon character.
It is here that the United
States government hes sailed.
1t has never found the real In
dian. The Christian church
can do for the Indian thai
which civil government cannot
do.

projected railroad from Vinila to

One day last week n party OF

were running lines through Paw
paw bottom, from east to wesi,
coming out near John Franklin's,
three miles south Of the former
AIva line.
That the pro ject is given credit
abroad AZ a fixed fact will be un-
derstood by the following dispatch
from Jelferson City;
at is said that the construction

A HOSPITAL WILL
SOON BE BUILT
Project Only Held in
Abeyance by Our
Physicians.

The intention OF erecting hos
pital at VinitA. mentioned at var.
ious times heretofore, has never
been abandoned by our physicians
but is only deferred until there is
greater prospect pf the enterprise
becoming self.supporli0g. Il II
hardly to be expected that such
an institution a. would meet the
requirements of this section tor
any great while would pay now, but
ID is growing TO be an imperative
necessity. No patient, requiriog
either medical or surgical atten,
tion, can be az satisfactorily treat
ed al home rs IN Il hospital, for
many and various reasons. Rui
particularly Is this the case 10
surgery, where a greater quantity
of appliance is employed 10 one
manner or another, and the sur
geon OF reputation is loath TO
operate 10 difficult cases aud TAKE
the risks which beset home or hO
tel nursing.
The estimated outlay for what
Vinita needs in this line is be.
tween three and four Thousand
dollars. The popular manner oi
constructing hospital OF late
years is upon the cottage plan.
The Office, operating and living
rooms OF the lorce are in central
building. but the patients arr kept
in small lwo-room cottages, sur

Broken Bottles.

A British surveying expedition re-
Gently returned from TERRA del Fuego
brings back some curious news regard
Ing the advance Of civilization In that far
OF land.
The Fuegians now have glass heads to
their arrows. and they obtain the glass
from broken whisky bottles,
The beer bottle has been called the
"enterlng wedge OF civilization be-
cause, into whatever wilderness the
white man explorer penetrated, he left
behind him empty beer bottles. But In
the rigorous climate Of TERRA del Fuego
the whisky bottle seems 10 have taken
the place of the beer bottle, and the "en-
terlng wedge" is the wedge Of glass with
which the natives tip their arrows.
This wedge does not seem TO split very
deep as far as civilization is concerned.
for the FuecIans cling with tenacity TO
their savage customs.
They live in little. low dome-llke wig
vans, somewhat resembling In shape
those OF the Eskimo, and subsist upon
seals, fish and cormorants. The latter
they catch by the legs when the birds are
asleep.
They are too lazy TO cook their food,
and so generally eat Il raw, though they
prefer n cooked.
They wear little or no clothing, except
a coating Of dirt, and they do not live to
a great age. thereby dlsproving the old
maxim that only the good die young.
Morals they have none. The coast OF
TERRA del Fuego is frequented by seal
hunters. and II Is largely from them that
tho natives get the whisky bottle from
which, after drinking up the contents
they fashion their arrow heads.
They also obtain whisky from the set
Elements on the Straits Of Magellan, and
will even work for bottle Of the fiery
stun. something they will do for oothei
