Whites Prey Upon Indians.

These declarations were made this
morning by w. A Jones, Indian Com
missioner, concerning the report of
Special Agent Brosious. of the. Indian
/ Rights Association. OF Philadelphia Mr..
Brosious was sent to the Indian Terri
tory by the association to investigate
rumors that white men were obtaining
Indian land for ridiculously small sums.
| The alleged plan was to lease the
lands from the Indians for term OF FIVE
years, the longest term for which an
! Indian can lease his new allotment
| These leases are alleged to have been
made for rentals far below the real
value of the land. In addition to this
the companies are alleged TO have then
/ secured a contract for the sale OF the
land at the end OF the lease and named
extremely small sums in these contracts.
May Equal Postal Scandals.
Mr. Brosious investigated the charges
as thoroughly as he could and prepared
a written report which has been sub
mitted 10 the Secretary of the Interior.
If the allegations in the report are sus-
| tanned they promise to disclose a scan
!
f1cials fully as high. as those in the
Postoflce Department scandals.
The Indian Office was aware of the
work undertaken by Mr.. Brosious. who
was acting for an association of pri-
Yate individuals. and has quietly pre-
pared to undertake an investigation on
its own account. Now that the Bro
slous report has been made public. and
Commissioner Jones is so emphatic in
his statements that the matter will
probably be looked into most thoroughly,
startling Developments may be expected

The Brosious report accuses a num-

Lost In Her Own Room.

Talking about being lost" says the

parents in the old family homestead
II have been lost in the city and lost

anything SO horrible as being lost in
my own room. It was a very queer

way-one of those rooms from which q
fight of stairs leads down; rooms such
as are only to be seen in old houses.
1t blew up cold the first night I was in
the house, and I got up to close the
window. The room, Of course, was
pitch dark. In getting back from the
window to the bed I lost myself. /

direction to turn, and l knew that if
I was not careful l should go down
those awful stairs. There was moth
ing to do but sit down on the floor and
howl for some Ii TO come and find
me, and that was just what / did. If
grandpa and grardmamma had not
been unusually normal individuals, l

DR.. NJ. W. Meyer, a German scientist
In an interesting volume under the
above title explains a "new theory as
to how this event will probably come
about. Indeed he carries his argument
still further and finally e~Xtinguishes
all the energy of the universe. All Of
the present Embellishments, etc.-will
eventually he drawn in by the force Of
grayitation and become a part of their
planets. These in turn will be abb
sorbed by the sun. A series of COLI
sions will then commence between the
various suns Which will finally result
in n enormous sun and solar system.
"And 20 growing in grandeur, but d.
minishing in number, the final catas-
trophe will come when there are no
more suns to produce collisions (and
heat and one huge body cooled to the
zero of space, void of available energy,
will mark the final outcome of cosmic-
al notion"

The Senses and Fine Arts.

The fine arts are each distinctly as
ISOLATED with IA Of the senses. With
out sight there would be no enjoyment
Of painting, sculpture or architecture
for us. Without hearing music would
not exist. Without taste we should
fail to appreciate cookery, which in all
civilized communities has been reck-
oned in it's highest phases as a fine art.
There are, therefore, two senses lefs
that have at present no artistic repre-
sentatives-those of smell and Of touch
During the later empire at Rome the
former was cultivated as Il fine art,
and a symphony of scents came to be
spoken Of in the same category as one
of sounds, The fashion died out when
Rome fell from it's high estate, but
there is nothing more inherently alb
surd OF impossible in a fine art of
odors than in Il of colors. Touch is
less adaptable, but the development of
wireless telegraphy and through it Of
thought transmission by a minimum of
mechanical means may yet raise that
n to the dignity of having an art
corresponding with its utility.

The SUN Was Rtrht.

When President Roosevelt was on a
turkey hunt in the neighborhood of Bull
Run battlefield, he and a MI. Hayden,
with a guide, left the turkey run and
plunged into a stretch of woodland.
After they had walked some miles Mr..
Hayden said to the guide, You've lost
your way" mot a bit of it," was the
reply. "Oh, yes, you have. The sun
is in the southwest at this time Of day,
and we should be going due east" Mr..
Roosevelt said: II always follow a man
who steers in the woods by the sun or
stars. III follow your leadership, Mr..
Hayden" He did so and reached his
destination in a bee line, to the guides

Indian servant Girls.

A new solution of the servant girl
problem is being discussed in the large
cities Of the west. Indian girls from
special training schools are being EN-
ployed as servant girls. It is said that
the Indian girls who have been proper
ly trained are found to be perfect EN-
bodiments Of satisfactory domestic
service. Five thousand or more Indian
girls have been engaged from the vari-
GUS Indian schools Of the southwest to
act as domestics in the homes OF
wealthy people in Kansas City, Chica-
go, st. Louis and Denver. Most OF
these girls are from the Chicago apd
Haskell Indian schools. The Indian
girls are physically strong. They are,
as a rule, faithful, polite and unobtru'

Cotton and Flax.

Cotton was used for making gar
ments in India at a date SO remote that
it cannot even be guessed at. The fact
is mentioned by Aristotle. The first
seeds were brought to this country in
1921. In 1865 the culture Is mentioned
in the records Of South Carolina. In
1876 the culture was general along the
eastern coast of Maryland, and in 1776
we heard Of it as far north as Cape
May. The use of flax for making cloth
ing is nearly as ancient as that Of cot
ton and perhaps more So, plants Of soft
and flexible fiber having been without
doubt among the first vegetable pro-
auctions of the ancient world and their
practical value discovered Don after
the Invention Of weaving.

FRANK ROWLEY DEAD
Passed Away Sunday Morning Near
Alpena-Operated Oh For
Appendicitis.

The sad news was received here
Sunday that Frank Rowley died
at 5 O'Clock that morning at his
home near Alpena. The young man
was operated on early in the week
for appendicitis, and passed through
the ordeal very nicely indeed, and
there did not seem to be any ques-
tion as to his early recovery. He
remained in bed several days to give
the parts an opportunity to heal.
He was so strong that he thought
that he ought to be able to get up
and it was with some difficulty that
he was prevailed upon to remain in
bed. 1t is thought that he moved a
little too much in bed and thus
caused a hemorrhaGe, and his heart
became affected at once and death
resulted.
The deceased was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. W. B. Rowley. Of Perry
township, and IA "a years of age.
He has grown to manhood on the
farm and was a young man who was
very much respected for his sterling
worth in the community in which be
spent the greater part Of his life.
Last March he was united in mar
rage to Miss Emma Carson, of Ne
braska, and after the wedding they
moved to Alpena, where they settled
on a farm which he had just pnr-
chased. TO the young couple life had
just opened its possibilities of happi-
ness and prosperity, but the strong
hand of death interviewed and rudely
shattered the dream that the future
in their cases would surely bring
forth. 1t is a sad blow to the young
wife and to the parents, who were
devoted to their sons welfare.
Funeral services were held over the
remains of the late Frank Rowley at
Bethel church, 9 miles northeast of
this city, Wednesday at II o'clock.
There was a very large attendance of
friends and relatives who went to pay
their last respects to the life a young
man, who in life they respected and
honored for his many noble qualities
of heart and mind. The services
were conducted by Rev. Fred T.
Drewett. of this city. The remains
were laid to rest in Graceland ceme-
terry.
