THE PASSING OF THE MODOCS.

The last gallant remnant of the
once glorious tribe of Modoc Indi'
ans are soon to depart for their old
home in the lava beds of the state
of Washington. For nearly thirty
years they have resided on their
little reservation in the Indian Ter.
ritory about Is miles south of Bax.
ter Springs.
This tribe was at one time the
bravest of the brave, and made the
most heroic stand for their liberty
ever made by any tribe or nation.
With a small body of chosen war.
riors they STOOD off" or held at bay
the entire army of the United States
for many weeks. They killed Gen.
Candy, commanding the u. S.
forces and killed and wounded
more soldiers than there were men,
bers of their tribe. They were final
ly conquered, and after hanging
Capt. Jack, their head chief, and
four others, the balance of the
tribe was coralled on lands in the
Territory. Every member was al
lowed 40 acres of poor land, and
they were informed this was all
they must expect, or in other words
they must "Root hog or die"
There was very little hunting or
fishing, as Dick Love and other
Kansas City desperadoes had about
cleaned up all the game, so they
went to work farming and stock
raising, and have made better citi-
zens as a rule than any other tribe
in the territory. They have been
thrifty, industrious, temperate,
moral and religious-most of them
became devout Quakers, and were
at most times, very observant of the
strict rules of that order, but there
are times when nature asserts her
self and at such times they would
throw off the sober garb and as
sumo the gaudier colors of their
fathers; the church bells gave place
to the tom tom, and silent prayer
to the hideous yells of the war
dance.
All of the old historic members
of the tribe are dead except Frin-
cess Mary, the sister of Captain
Jack, aud old Ln-ke.el-le.tu (now los
years old) the bow and arrow maker
of the tribe. Capt. Jack, Steamboat
Frank, Scar Faced Charlie, Shack
Nasty Jim, and all the old land
marks of the tribe have gone to the
happy hunting grounds. Their
bones repose in strange land far
from the native rocks and hills
where their forefathers are buried.
They died in captivity and were
laid away with christian rites, but
their souls have flown to the grim
mountains of the Pacific, where for
centuries their forefathers hunted
the elk and grizzly in peace and
contentment.
awe are sorry to lose our old
friends of the Modoc tribe, but we
wish them every comfort and hap
piness in their new home. There is
not much left for them except lib
erty and the pursuit of chip hunks,
but they don't have to, wear store
clothes, corsets, plug hats, shirt
waists and other inconvenient and
oppressive garments.

mind,
Covers himself in 'front.' but leaves him
bare behind"

CHINA OF THE FUTURE

Robinson. They were married in Deem
Der, 1896, and it is alleged that the child
was born in March, 1897, in Omaha, where
they had gone to avoid publicity. Robin
son and his wife were accompanied to
Omaha by Mrs. David Gregg Metheny,
sister Of Mrs. Robinson. The family
came east after the birth of the child and
in the summer of 1898 they spent several
weeks at Fair Haven, Vt.
One day Mrs. Metheny was seized with
commissions and died very suddenly. The
next morning Mrs. Robinson and the
child were dead, both having been shot.
The suicide or murder Of the woman and
the murder Of the child were testified to
during the trial Of the case.
The defense was that the child was not
the child of Mrs. Robinson, but was the
child of Mrs. Metheny. Metheny is one
Of the defendants and the verdict gives
him the title thru the child born to his
wife.
| Robinson gave positive testimony that
! the child was born to his wife and that she
had nursed the baby naturally. This lat
tier fact was also testified to by other wit
nesses.
On the other hand, a sister of Mrs. Rob-
Unison and Mrs. Metheny was present In
the room when the child was born and
tswore that it was the child Of Mrs.
4 Metheny. She admitted that she had in
troduced Mrs. .Metheny to the doctor as
i Mrs Robinson, and for that reason the
doctor had believed that the child was

4 PROFITABLE BEGGING
Cashiered Danish Army Officer Begs
an Income of $500 a
4.
Month.

New York, May 21.-Begging letters
sent to well known New Workers have
Melted to Cigar Beckwith Nelson, said to
have been cashiered from the Danish
army, an income of $500 a month during
the last two years, according to Special
Agent James Ford, who has caused Neil
sons arrest. Mr.. Ford said that the man
had three stereotyped forms of letters
one making requests for work, another
asking for money, and the third begging
q personal appointment His pleas were
always the same, Mr.. Ford says.
He was Dane and an ex-army officer
who had been driven to pawn his valuable
1ewelry and the time for redeeming these
pledges had nearly expired
Nelson said that it was his marriage
that cost him his place In the army. The
woman accompanied him to this country
and he declared that she had no knowl-
edge that he had ever written any such
letters.
Agent Ford says that three books con-
(. tanning the names of New Workers were
found in the mans comfortably furnished
apartments.
Nelson's list Of correspondents, it is
said, included the names Of George j.
Gould, Andrew Carnegie, J. Pierpont Nor
gan, John w. Gates, Hetty Green and
Russell Sage.

erty, Is still on the isthmus examining into
the sanitary, conditions there. Major
Black performed excellent work along
sanitary lines in Cuba and his report upon
the situation at Panama and Colon IS
awaited with interest.
His presence In that quarter Of the
world is causing renewed interest in
the statements of Senator Morgan and
Others that climatic and sanitary condi-
lions in the region thru which the pro-
posed canal is to pass are such that. 1t is
practically impossible for white men to
live there. General Hams returned to the
United tSates convinced Of the truth Of
these statements. The deplorable sani-
tary conditions during the progress Of
work by the old French company will be
remembered. If those conditions cannot
be improved under the regime Of the
United States the loss of life among the
workers employed on the canal will be
frightful. The French exerted every eff
! fort to secure proper sanitation and ex-
pended vast sums Of money to that end,
| but they were unsuccessful. The hospital
and similar buildings erected by them are
/ still standing, but are going into de-
cay and will require a large amount OF
/ money to restore them.
/ It is considered probable by many we'll
/ informed men that Major Black report
/ will be of such a nature as effectually tc

LIT is believed that that report will suggest
a very large sum of money for the sanl-
| tation of the line Of the canal and The
cities Of Panama and Colon and there are
/ men who know the isthmus well who de
clare, that they would moi. be surprised
j II the report should be practically to the
effect that no amount Of sanitation woulc

much better than they were when tn,

So Mr.. Henderson was presented to Mrs.
John Hyer. He bowed low and did not
notice the flush that sufkused her face as
she inquired:
did you say Mr.. Nathan Henderson,"
The fact was that Mrs. Hyer was none
other than Hendersons former wife, to
whom he had been married forty-three
years before and from whom he had been
divorced thirty-seven years. Attic well

The widow had the advantage because
Mr.. Henderson had not the disguise of an
other name. She did not tell him who she
was, but before the reception was at an
end granted his request for permission to
call.
At his home that night the elderly wild
over thought Of the widow he had met
at the reception but somehow the thoughts
were strangely mingled with memories of
a younger woman. He took advantage Of
the permission to call next day and was
amazed when he was greeted as Nat by

The u. S. Protest,
New York FINN Sneciai SArvicA:


& Chicago, May 21--Walter Wellman in
Washington special to the Record Herald
says;
That there is precedent for representa-
lions to Russia by the United States con-
corning the Kishinef massacre is the In
teresting fact brought out to-day by
Charles Emory Smith, former postmaster
general and at one time minister to RUS
STA. In 1891, says Mr.. Smith, under con-
ditions not altogether dissimilar from
those of the present moment the Ameri-
can government did make representations
to Russia. While there had been no such
massacre as that Of Kishinef, there was
a renewed and rigorous enforcement Of
obsolete and proscriptive edicts, the result
OF which was just such an emigration Of
Russian Jews to America as that which
is now on foot.
Under these circumstances the Ameri-
can minister at st. Petersburg held such
communication with the Russian minister
Of foreign affairs as seemed fit. It was
q, diplomatic representation to the RUS
sian government respecting measures
within the Russian empire which conduced
to excessive emigration to the United
States. It was held that this emigration
imposed burdens and produced conditions
which directly affected the interests Of
our country and that on this ground We
were justified In asking for the abandon
ment or the mitigation Of the measures
which led to such results. Naturally the
subject had to be approached with dis
cretion and within diplomatic proprieties.
but there was distinct representation ID
such form as caused Its acceptance.
Mr.. Smith adds this pertinent COM
ment: Secretary Hays forcible dispatch
respecting the oppression Of the Rou-
rnanian Jews was based on the same
grounds Of the direct interest which this
country had thru the effect Of the OPP
preston on the influx of people unpre-
pared for our requirements. It has been
said that there is a distinction between
the Roumanian case and the Russian case,
because in the former the American note
was addressed to the signatories Of the
Berlin treaty, who were under pledges as
to Roumania while In the case of Russia
It would be a direct Intrusion into the
domestic affairs Of the empire. But this
distinction rests more on form than On
substance. The fundamental hasis oG
faction is the same in both cases. : 4.
