To Feed Crude OIL to Hogs

Several well-to-do farmers OF Cass
county, Ind, have formed a company
to drill for oil, and County Auditor
Gard, who is president of the COM
pany, announces that the crude oil
will not be placed on the market, but
will be fed to hogs.
Mr.. Gard says that experiments
made by him and others have shown
that hogs thrive better when a liberal
supply of oil is given them when being
fattened for market, and that while 1t
conduces to health the oil is much
cheaper as food than corn at prices
which have obtained for the past two
years.
The discovery of the beneficial ef-
fects of eating the crude oil was made
accidentally when hogs were running
In the fields where oil was produced,
and tests were then made with the re-
suit that tine company was formed to
produce oil for the special purpose OF
feeding it to hogs.

out to the poor little Indian orphan.
The couple agreed to adopt her as
their own. 1t was not long before the
little one responded fully to the love
that was so generously given her, and
she came to regard herself as the
daughter of the white man and woman.
Years passed by. The little girl
grew up to womanhood. She had been
educated as became the daughter of
well-to-do citizen and was respected,
honored and loved,by all who knew her.
Several children were born to the
couple, and as these grew up they were
taught to regard the Indian girl as
their own sister.
There is no doubt that had the In
dian girl desired to remain she might
have married some white man and be
living to-day, honored and respected,
in or near the home of her adopted
parents. But, yielding to that mysteri-
Gus impulse that renders us incapable
of denying our parentage, she felt an
uncontrollabl instinct or desire to
return to her own people and become
one of them. In vain her foster broth
ers and sisters pleaded with her. Sor'
rowfully, but nevertheless with deter
mination, she decided to cross the des'
ert and go back to the place of hel
birth. When she arrived among The
Yumas they received her with suspi
cion. She did not know a single wore
of their language, but so powerful die
! instinct work that, with very little diff
ficulty, she won her way into theil
hearts and soon was able to speak hel
native tongue as if she had nevel
known any other. In a short time sh'
married, and children were born t.

ma, has always regarded her as su
perior being, and throughout the trib'

One of the white men from San
Diego, who had gone to the not
springs, somehow came to learn OF the
presence of this captive little girl He
saw her several times and soon became
very much interested in her, When
he learned her story he determined
that, II possible, he would remove her

full to her. With an interpreter he
went to the man who owned her and
threatened him with the punishment
of the white mans law for the murder
of the childs father and mother unless

TRUE TO HER PEOPLE
The Interesting Story of a Faithful
Indian Maiden.
Was Captured by Hostile Tribe, Res
cued and Educated by a white
Man, But Remain c d IA Yuma
at Heart.
Especial California letter.

VY1HILE many Indian tribes have
w lived together in close proxim'
ity for many years in peace and
harmony, it is equally true that in
many other cases there has been
great deal of quarreling and fighting.
With primitive people as well as with
those who are more advanced in clvill-
cation it is very true that tiny spark
will often kindle great flame. "A dead
ly insult has often been read into
few insignificant words. The refusal
of the hand of maiden in marriage
has often provoked war. Hundreds,
nay, thousands, of lives have been lost
in disputes over tiny strips OF territory
that were practically barren and value
less. Whole villages have been often
| destroyed because of fancied insults
| offered to the gods.
The secret of the enmity between the
| tribes that for centuries inhabited the
mountains of what is now San Diego,
Cal, and the Yumas, who dwell on the
| Colorado river, | have never been able
to learn. Both people were warlike,
| anu DIdNt' ht ipii'N 49,
| supreme in the mountains, the latter in
the desert and by the river, Again and
again conflicts took place between
them. Sometimes the Yumas roamed
too far over the desert to the east OF
the great river, and despite all their
precautions they were swooped down
upon by the mountain tribes and
driven back with great loss of life AT
other times the San Diegans would ap,
proach too near the river, and they in
turn would suffer defeat.
In the neighborhood of 40 years age
the Yumas had been particularly ag
gressive and had severely punished the
San Diegans on several successive occa
sions. This aroused the national pride
of the mountain tribes and they gath

Reform in Funerals.

The Ministerial association OF
Reading urges reform in the conduct
of funerals that is commended by
sense and a proper regard tor the
proprieties. They suggest economy
IN the style of funerals, simplicity and
breyity in the service, avoidance OF
eulogy, no public exposure OF the
body, and private interment. Only
in the case of man who has been
great in public life can any excuse be
found for deviation from this simple
programme. Almost invariably, how
ever. the practice is quite the reverse.
The surreptitious jollihcation OF the
wake may no longer be cordoned, but
many of our funerals, nevertheless,
bear revolving resemblance to social
affairs, and frequently the love OF dis
play and the desire to outdo others
are INDUCED to shocking extent up
on these solemn occasions.
1t must be said too, that the minis
tiers themselves are responsible foI
one of the most objectionable features
of the funeral. The eulogy, spoken
often without due regard tor the
character of the deceased, may be
prompted by the kindliest OF senti-
ments, but the narrowing rehearsal OF
the last illness which usually precedes
this discourse is wholly unwarranted.
1t can have no other effect than to
deepen the grief of the bereaved
Rather, as these Reading clergymen
suggest, should the mourners be
cheered by the higher life upon which
the departed has entered. j..
Our funeral ceremonies, like al
matters OF everyday observance, are
firmly imbedded in custom. Tt
change them will be difficult and re
quire time. But emanating from
source which has such immediate con
troll over them, some good may b.
expected to flow from this movement

least generation or more. Again, for
days, the warriors assembled around
the dance fire, where the chiefs eX-
horted them to brave and heroic deeds
and the women melted them to acts of
valor. When the time came for the
march they stole as cautiously as pos
sible across the desert, and, on nearing
the main camp of the Yumas, sent out
their scouts ahead to determine how
and when the great attack should be
made. Fortunately for them the Yumas
were in the worst possible condition
for tho encounter. Their hunters had
just brought back an unusual quantity
of deer, and the whole people, warriors
and all, were SO gorged to repletion as
to be unable to fight. After full con-
sultation it was decided to steal upon
them at night and fight at close quar-
ters with battle hammer, battle AK,
dagger of sharp deer's horn, and the
few steel weapons they had obtained
from the white man.
Stealthily they crept upon their un-
suspecting foes. The latter had not
only eaten TO excess, but many of them
were stupefied with drink they made
from the root of bush called mo-
mump. The root of this is sometimes
taken and chewed. For few hours it
produces an eXhilarating effect, some
what similar to that produced by
kasheesh Then the victim succumbs
to deadly stupor from which it takes
| him several days to recover.
| T.. ha min hnt
| dition the Yumas were in to receive
| their foes. The San Diegans fell upon
| them and slew quite number without
! any resistance. Then, flushed with
victory, after scalping their dead foes,
| they took captive several of the wom-
| en-, whose lives had been spared, and
| one little girl. What became of the
| women | have never yet been able to
learn. Possibly, as has often been the
case, they became wives of their cap
| tors and soon lost their identity as
| members of different tribe, but with
the little girl it was different. She had
keen memory and loving heart and
constantly cried for her father and
| mother, whom she had seen slaugh-
| tered on the banks of the Colorado
| river Even in those days there was
something of town at San Diego. The
Indians, too, were reasonably friendly
with the whites. Indeed, they were so
much so that several of them used to
go up into the mountains and camp
near the Indians in tents at what is
now known as Aqua Caliente at War
ner's ranch. The hot springs from
which this village gained its Spanish
name are known to be very good for all
kinds of diseases, and ever since they
have known of them white men have

A physician writing on the subject
Of that often fatal disease, pneumonia,
says that the malady may be easily
detected by person not skilled as
diagnostic,sn. There is difficulty in
breathing, fever, thirst and a dull,
deep-seatsd pain in the chest. The
cheeks are flushed and there is rising
and falling of the abdomen in breath
ing. By placing the ear against the
chest cracking sound, similar to
that produced by throwing salt on
red hot Goals, may be heard. When
these symptoms appear physician
should be sent for at once. While
waiting his arrival, poultices may be
applied to the chest, and unless the
doctor is very near at hand it would
be safest to administer a cathartic.
Deep breathing is also helpful. Pneu-
monla acts very quickly, and unless a
chal ge for the better soon takes place
the disease will rapidly advance until
death ensues. When taken in season,
however, it is not as serious as is
generally supposed. 1t would be well
for the reader to cut this out and pre-
serve it for reference.

Bar Oupid's Work.

From the state of Iowa comes the
word that bar will be placed on
Cupid's work. The plan to our
way Of thinking is good, and alto
gether worthy of following. The
preachers have indorsed what they
call marriage commission made up
ofthree men and three women physi-
clans. This commission is to have
power to regulate all marriages in
the State and to say who shall and
who shall not be married. The plan
was first advocated by Judge Nc
Vey, OF the District Court. The
ministers will draft a bill embodying
this idea and submit it to the next
Legislature. They believe that such
a board would restrict the divorce
evil and suppress criminal, degener-
ate and pauper marriages.

Court of Huntingdon county i'll his
suit against Emma d. Elliot, Ethel
bert Talbot and Alexander Elliot,
The opiuion sets out the facts and
is in part as follows:
This appellant and plaintiff IN
the court below, l. N. w. Irvine,
was a priest of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church, and in April, 1898,
was in charge of st. Johns parish
of Huntingdon, Pa.
"The defendant, Emma d. Elliot,
was member of that congregation;
her husband was not member and
had no church connection with the
parish; Ethelbert Talbot was bishop
of the Diocese of Central Pensylva-
MIA in which St. Johns parish was
situate, and by the canons OF the
church had supervision and control
of the religious affairs of the diocese,
and was the ecclesiastical superior
of Irvine.
"Plalntiff brings this appeal, as
signing many reasons, but there are
in substance only two:
"I-That defendants conspired
to have plaintiff unlawfully deposed
from the ministry.
| "2-That they conspired by un'
lawful means to injure his reputa
Etion and standing as a Christian
minister.
There is no law which imposed
upon common pleas jury the duty
of passing upon the capacity or i'm
