INDIAN Land SALES.
The Interior Secretary Approves
Rules for Indians to Sell.
The JEWISH PETITION TO BIZ FIRST.


Washington, July 10.--The secre-
tary Of the interior yesterday approved
new code Of regulations for the sale
Of surplus lands owned by Indians.
The new rules require that when an
Indian who owns lands, the sale Of
which is permitted by law, desires to
sell them the fact shall be advertised
and the lands be appraised by an Of
fetal Of the United States government.
Sealed bids with certified checks en-
closed are to be invited and the lands
sold to the highest bidder, provided
his bid does not fall below the APP
Iraisal. The rules apply now only to
the Creek Indians in the Indian terri
tory and they owe their origin to the
fact that many of those Indians have
been persuaded to part with valuable
property for an entirely inadequate
consideration.
Jewish Petition to he Disposed Of First.
Washington, July 10.-The president
has decided that TIP matter Of the Jew
ish petition must be finally disposed
of before any further effort is made
here to compose the issues arising out
OF the Manchurian situation. There
fore 1t is now said that nothing is
likely to be done In regard to Man
churia until next September, by which
time, according to the last Russian
engagement, the evacuation of Man
churia by Russian troops, save rail-
road guards, should be complete. 1t is
understood that the Russian govern
ment has set up as one reason for not
sanctioning the opening Of new ports
in Manchuria the necessity Of allowing
her first to complete the evacuation
Of Manchuria and although the rea-
soning 10 rather obscure on that point,
II is understood that our government
Is willing to wait until September be-
Tore making the next move.

DFLEHANTY'S DEATH.
rhe Body Of the Famous Ball Player Found
Near the Falls What an Investi-

Buffalo, N. Y. July 10.-The body
found In the river below the falls
yesterday was identified at Drummond-
vile yesterday afternoon as that of
Ed Delehanty, the famous outfielder
of the Washington American league
team. The body was mangled. One
leg was torn off, presumably by the
propeller of the Maid of the Mist, near
whose landing the body was found.
M. q. Green, q stockholder in the
Washington team, identified the body
by the teeth. two crippled fingers and
the clothing.
Frank Delehanty, Of the Syracuse
team, and q. J. Mcclure, a brother-in-
law from Cleveland. are here invests
eating the death Of the player. They
do not believe that Delehanty COM
mitted suicide or that he had been
on a spree in Detroit. In the sleeper
on the Michigan Central train on the
way down from Detroit Delehanty
had five drinks Of whisky, says Con-
ductor Cole, and he became so OBJ
streperous that he had to be put on
the train at Bridgeburg, at the Cana,
dian end Of the bridge. Cole says
Delehanty had an open razor and was
others in the sleeper.
After the train had disappeared
across the bridge Delehanty started
o walk across, which is against the
niles. The night Waterman attempt
d to stop him but Delehanty pushed

LIGHT ON HUMAN NATURE.
Why Boys Do Not Always Turn Out

Why Boys Do Not Always Turn Out
as Represented.
Boys are a good deal like the pups
that fellows sell on street corners
they don't always turn out as repre-
sented. You buy a likely setter pup
and raise a spotted coach dog from it,
and the promising son of an honest
butcher is just as like as not to turn
out a poet or a professor. 1 want to
say in passing that 1 have no real
prejudice against poets, but 1 believe
that, if you're going to be Milton,
there's nothing like being a mute, in
glorious one, as some fellow who was
little sore on the poetry business
once put it. OF course, a packer who
understands something about the YER
satility of cottonseed oil need never
turn down orders for lard because the
run of hogs is light, and a father who
understands human nature can turn
out an imitation parson from a boy
whom the Lord intended to go on the
board of trade. But on general prin-
ciples it's best to give your cotton
seed oil Latin name and to market
it on Its merits, and to let your boy
follow his bent, even if it leads him

BILE animal cleared the guard at a
bound. The awful noise and the con-
tinued whistling of the locomotive
was still close behind her, but surely
net SO near. She dared to turn her
head and a shout of joy burst from
her lips. She was certainly widening
the distance between Comanche's
heels and that hideous cowcatcher.
Slapping the noble animal with the
palm of her hand, she screamed: "Oh,
Comanche, save mel" He had already
done that A wild hurrah that made
the earth tremble burst from the
threats of the great crowd that had
gathered at the depot as the white
steer, covered with foam, shot by the
platform into the street, where he
fell to his knees utterly exhausted.
The engine was none too far away.
The pretty girl was well known in
the town, and a multitude of friends
quickly assembled about her, eagerly
asking for information. They had
seen the wild race, but they could not
make out what it meant. To some
persons it looked as if the engineer
was trying to run over the steer. They
had been unable to make out the OBJ
ject on the animals back until he was
near the depot. The badly frightened
engineer was quick to make an ex-
PLANTATION. When Comanche regained
his feet he put his nose against his
mistress to be petted. The crowd
cheered the faithful animal and
everybody gave him a friendly pat
and words of praise.

the happy girl, you shall have clover
and sugar plums all your life."

a Iinht Suueeze

Brazils, Ark, May 11th.-To be
snatched from the very brink of the
grave is a somewhat thrilling ex-
perience and one which Mrs. NJ. o.
Garrett of this place has just passed
through.
Mrs. Garrett suffered with a Cere-
bro-Spinal affection, and had been
treated by the best physicians, but
without the slightest improvement.
For the last twelve months two
doctors were in constant attendance,
but she could only grow worse and
worse, till shA could not walk, and
did not have any power to move at
all.
She was so low that for the great
er part of the time she was perfectly
unconscious of what was going on
about her, and her heart-broken hus-
band and friends were hourly ex-
pecting her death.
The doctors had given up all hope
and no one thought she could pos
sibly live.
In this extremity Mr.. Garrett sent
fer a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1t
was a last hope, but happily it did
not fail.
Mrs. Garrett used in all six boxes
Of the remedy, and is completely
cured. She says:

Peruna is called a tonic. Peruna does not
give strength by stimulating the nervous

1t gives strength by preserving the
mucous membranes against leakage.
1t gives strength by converting the blood
