The result of the city elections is g
source of qualification to all who labored
for the election OF the Citizens ticket
The Citizens caucus acted for what il
considered the best interests of Aber'
deem, and it now remains for its success
full nominees to demonstrate its wis.
dom. The city has been so badly mis-.
managed in the past as to render its en-
tire correction in one year impossible
but. every step taken by the new adj
ministration should be along such care
full business lines as the mayor and
council would suggest in their private
business.

In the December Mcclure, Miss Tar.

In the December Mcclure, Miss Tar
bell takes up again her History of the
Standard Oil Company. In her tranquil,
passionless way, so tranquil, indeed,
that, in contrast with the stupendous-
ness Of its revelations it takes at times
the air of cold irony, she continues to
make revelation after revelation, backed
by unimpeachable Recommendation and
day after day her picture of that dread,
weird, omniscent power, the Standard
Oil Company, BET ONES more vivid and
more awful. Miss Tarbell's work is be.
ginning to assume proportions almost
epic.

Section OF Ordinance No. 226 ehould

Section OF Ordinance No. 226 ehould
be repealed before the appointment of a
police judge. Since the city has been
allowed but one justice of the peace
changes OF venue have to be taken to
Hoquiam or Cosmopolis, to the great in
convenience to litigants. This section
of the ordinance named-enacted when
the city had two justices-requires that
the police judge be duly elected justice
of the peace. The repeal OF this section
would permit the appointment of a pc.
lice judge that will allow the city two
courts instead of one.

DEAD is kLsroRED 10 LIFE.
Common Table Salt Declared to Have
ONercome Death.

Overcome Death.
In New York common table salt has
accomplished the undiSpnted resurrection
OF a child declared by reputable physi-
clans to be dead. The child no longer
breathed. Her heart had ceased to per-
form Its functions. Her limbs were cold
and the fxity of death was in her frame
ana features. In an inspired moment
the operating physician, DR.. john Hub
bel Schall of Brooklyn. applied saline
solution consisting of a teaspoonful OF
salt to quart Of water to the intestines
OF the patient upon whom an operation
mad been performed at the Brooklyn Me-
mortal hospital for appendicitis. This
was followed by an injection Of the So
luton into the veins of the child. 1t
was a forlorn hope For twenty-four
hours the patient remained in a comatose
condition. keen-eyed physicians and Wig
liant nurses watched her every minute,
and slowly but surely the spark of life
was famed into a fame, and to-day in a
cot in the Memorial hospital, surrounded
by her playthings, she is well on the way
to recovery. Another instance showing
the value of salt is reported from In
diana. With one ounce of common SALT
SIX ounces of pure water, six ounces of
alcohol, mixed in an ordinary glass dish,
ana Two ounces of aqua ammonia, dis
tributed in five small plates, all covered
by glass tube and air tight, Dr. Charles
w. Littleheld of Alexandria, Ind, dem
onstrated the other afternoon that he
mad created life in the form of thousands
OF atoms of animated substances similar
to well-developed germs of life and trilo-

INDIAN ASKS NO AID.
He Is Now Able to Support Himself
by Working.


According to officials of the Interior
Department, the Indian is giving a bet
ter account of himself now than he did
a few years ago. Formerly he accepted
the rations the government provided. and
spent his days in idleness and in riotous
living. Now he works, makes money
ard pays his own way. If the govern
ment will not give him work, he looks
for it elsewhere-on a railroad, or in
building roadways, where he makes fair
wages. He will not be dependent on I'm
Gle Sam any longer than is necessary.
THE Indian is improving" said Com
missioner Jones, of the Indian bureau.
"An indication of his willingness to work
is found in the fact that the govern
ment is abolshing the practice of serving
rations on some of the reservations. Sew
eral old treaties providing that the In
dams must be supplied with rations are
expiring, and they will not be renewed.
"a large number of Sioux Indians in
North Dakota have just decided that
they would rather work and support
themselves. They find employment on
work the government is doing on the res
ervations, such as road building and the
construction of water tanks for irrigation
purposes, and when there is no work of
this kind for them they get jobs as sec
tion hands on the railroads. An agent
has just reported that about 800 Nava-
joes are at work on the Santa Fe, in
New Mexico, and that superintendent
who employ them say they do far better
work than the Mexicans, who were for
hlerly employed almost exclusively on
that kind of work. Another agent has re-
ported that 120 Indians from the Stand
ing Rock agency have been employed for
railroad work in North Dakota. The
government encourages them to go 20
work They make fair wages and be-
come independent and more self-respect-
ing than they did under the former con-
ditions of course, all Of the Indians
are not going to work. Some of them are
receiving the interest on their tribal
funds. and never do a days work from
one years end to another, but the In
dians, as a rule, seem t aspire 10 some
thing better than eating am loahng."

A CoFFINLEss CEMETERY.
Started by cone Armed BILL" 1t
Tenants Died i'm Their Boots.

Started by cone Armed BILL" Its
Tenants Died in Their Boots.
Near Billings, Mont, is an old-time
cemetery, which contains but ffty-two
bodies. The cemetery Is a remarkable
one in that every person buried there
died with his boots on" The grave
yard is an old one, and the memory of
it has almost passed from the minds of
the rising generations. 1t is one of the
pioneer institutions ,of that State, and to
the mind of the ofdstimers brings many
recollections. There is not a headstone
in the cemetery; if ever there was one
it was of wood and has gone the way of
all the world. 1t is even said that none
of the bodies buried there was incased in
collins.
Montana was a territory when this
cemetery was started; the originator of
the place was a gambler known through
out the west as "One-Arm Bill" who
conducted several games in the little
town that at that time occupied a site
near there.
"One-Arm Bill" is believed to have
been the originator of the expression,
private graveyard" and it is certain
that he did his best to increase the pop
ulation of his. OF the ffty-two men bur
led there, old-timers say more than half
were slain by Bill, who was noted as q
dead shot.
The. existence of this old burying
ground had almost been forgotten until
the other day, when human bones were
unearthed by man who was digging
the cellar of house he intended to erect.

Angered because the members of the
congregation of the Free Methodist
Church in Akron, Ohio, were shouting,
Samuel B. Clutter secured club and,
suddenly appearing in the doorway of
the church, started down the aisle club
bling everybody he could reach. Rev. ID.
w. Wesley was in the midst of a prayer,
which he concluded without ceremony,
and beat hasty retreat with the other
members who were able to get out Won
en- tainted and children were knocked
down and trampled upon in the panic
which ensued, and amid it all Clutter
was busily engaged with his club Final
iy he was overpowered and held until
officers arrived, but he fought all the
way to the police station. Only two per-
sons were badly hurt. Bartholomew Dean
and Thomas Aiken, although at least a
dozen were badly bruised either by Clut-
ter's club or in the rush for safety. Clut-
ter Is now in the city prison awaiting
arraignment on a charge of assault with
intent to kill 1t is believed that he was
temporarily insane. He lives next door
TO the church. and the noise made by the
congregation has disturbed him and his
family for some time.

KANSAS CORN CROP NEAR RUIN.
Hot Winds and Lack of Rain Menace
Heavy Yield Expected.

bot winds have been blowing in south
ern and southwestern Kansas and in
western. Oklahoma, and corn growers in
those regions are somewhat concerned.
reports that corn is suffering already
from the dry weather come also from
Leayenworth, Phillips, Geary and other
as widely separated Kansas counties, but
the conditions in all these regions are To-
cal, there being large areas between of
abundant moisture and booming corn.
over the greater corn growing area of
Kansas the need of rain is seriously felt
and the crop is now at a critical stage
The weather of the next two weeks will
determine IN great measure whal the har-
vest VIII be. Reports from several coun-
ties - e5Testern Kansas indicate great
heat. u Rice County the thermometer
reached 107 in the shade, the highest
ever known there. Harvey County re-
ports high temperature, and corn, which
is just tasseling, damaged 80 per cent by
drouth and hot winds. Pawnee County
reports ITO in the shade. Corn and feed
crops damaged. 1t will take the most
favorable kind of weather for the nest
SIX weeks TO make anything like a corn
crop in most of the Kansas counties. The
