ADVERTISING COUNTRY
Railroads Are Making an Effort to
Bring Home Seekers 60 the
Indian Country.

The railroads entering the In
dian territory realize that this
country is so nearly ready for the
sctual settler that they are getting
out booklets containing informa-
ton ofvalue to farmers with refer
ence to the holding of lands in the
Indian territory. At periods OF
from one to hve years after re-
eeiying bis oeriiticate Of allot-
ment the Indian can dispose Of all
Of his lands except his home
stead, which remains inallenable
for q perod Of twenty years.
Immediately upon the conyening
Of the next congress that body will
be urged to pass q law allowing
the Indian to dispose Of bis surplus
lands at once. The Indians as
we'll as the whites will clamor
for the law and they win be back
ed by railroad influence. Valid
loans can now be given and these
leases contain a purchasing clause
giving the lessee tue preference in
the purchase, and agricultural
land holders are now as secure as
property rights we're to townsite
property before the townsite com
mission was created. Within the
past week the Frisco and Santa Fe
have had representatives here
gathering data preparatory TO ad-
vertislDg this county.

POINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
Various Novelties That Lend Finish to Paraor and TabIe--UsefuI
 uggestions.

The. reed-bound jar is the newest plant or flower holder. It is of heavy glazed pottery, showing a rich green background relieved by blue and white, or pink and white floral designs. Over this is a coarse lattice of brown reeds.
 Brass finger bowls are much liked and give bright appearance to the table, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 The brass woodbox when no longer needed in it's intended capacity is fre- quently dedicated to the service of magazine and papers, making most convenient receptacle.
 Among the novelties seen in the shops are some very dainty little salt spoons of crystal, and when one re- members how quickly the salt discolors those of silver and gold, one sees the advantage of these glass trifies.
 To the chahng dish outfit has been added an egg poacher and skinner. These are nickel-plated with long eb- ony handles and have fancy perfora- tions. They are very effective and fill a long-fe1t want.
 Dainty bisque tortoni holders are Ht- tic baskets with high handles about which, as well as on the rim of the basket, are small paper roses.
 Always break or twist (never cut) the green top off pineapple which is not for immediate use, as it absorbs the juice and flavor of ripe fruit.
 To clean decanter fill half-full oi hot water and add couple of spoons ful of rice; let stand for awhile, then shake vigorously; a little ammonia in the water is also great help. Never wash a knife with which a raw onion has been cut in warm or hot water, as the heat sets the, flavor of the onion; always wash we'll in cold water, using bit of sapolio at the same time Once every week the icebox should be thoroughly washed with hot studs in which a little ammonia has beer thrown, and the slats dried in the open sunshine; the door should be left open till the entire interior is perfectly dry then a small plate, with little potash should be kept in the icebox till the next cleaning, when it should be thrown out and some fresh put in its place.

TOLLS CHINESE PLOT.
Commander Drake's Prompt Act
 Averts Slaughter.

AVGTUS A foldUe5 ALCk.
 WASHINGTON, April 14.-Quick ac- ton and common sense treatment of critical situation by an American naval officer in China recently saved the for eign residents in the province of Kwon- thAag, along the east bank of the Can ton river from falling victims to plot which, while directed primarily against the Manchurian dynasty, inev- itably would have eliminated in an at tack on the foreign population.
 While this attack was averted by the precautionary measures taken by Com mander E. J. Drake, commanding the United States ste@ner Monterey, with the assistance of the English gunboats Sandpiper and Britomart, the French gunboat Avalanche and the German tug Shameen, the coalition known to have fomented the trouble extends to several provinces, and official advices received both at the state and navy de- partments show that reactionary meas ures on a scale far larger than is ad- mitted either by foreign representa- tives or the Chinese government have been planned by the rebels.
 Hearing that force of rebels with Hung Chun Fuk, native of Wal chow, had planned an attack on the viceroy and Chinese officials of Canton during the celebra tons of the Chinese new year during the night of Jan. 2S-20, Commander Drake prepared to defend the foreign residents. An armed force of 5000 men had entered Canton surreptitiously several days before he learned the news and were hiding with ympathizers.
 Ag most of the foreigners and official representatives of the various nations resided in Shameen, Commander Drake first completed his plan of defense for this section, and then to allay the ex- citement which prevailed he officially informed the consulates and Chinese officials of his preparations.
 Instead of visiting the Holy temple in the inner city aft midnight to offer incense, the viceroy and officials, con- trary to long custom, remained in their respective yamens securely guarded. Around the viceroy's yamen alone were assembled 4,O00 armed troops. By z o'clock the gates to the inner city were closed and the streets cleared.
 Many arrests were made that night, in which some conpradores were inn plicated, and large amounts of stores were seized in houses and shopa

 WASHINGTON April 14.-Secretary Moody has returned from his inspection tour. The secretary on his trip visited the sites for the American coaling sta lions at Bahia, Honda and Guantanamo and made 6 thorough inspection of the property. He regards both sites as hav- ing the possibilities for development into excellent stations which can be amply fortified. The secretary has col lected detailed data concerning the sites, some of which he will incorpo- rate in his next annual report along with recommendations for the improve ment of the stations. The secretary's g itinerary included visits to San Juan and ether parts of Porto Rico and to the naval base at Culebra island and Samina bay, Santo Domingo.
 Through the courtesy of the general board Secretary Moody was supplied while on his cruise with the details of the general staff proposition, to the consideration of which he and the members of his party gave careful study The secretary is not yet pre- pared to commit himself regarding the project, though he intends taking 1t up at length in his next annual report. r

 "Well,' he returned bitterly, getting up and dalsting the knees of his trous- CTS, 'if you consider this sudden when I have been calling here for nearly two years on an average of twice week, have sent you bonbons and flowers, have claimed more dances than any other one man, and have almost reached tEa point of proposing three or four times, why, you haven't got sense enough to make good wife.

 H0vel.

Aged Patrick Flynn Dead 1n FtIthY
 Hovel.
 BELVIDERE, N. J., April 14.-Pat- rick Flynn, eighty-two years old, re. puted niser, known as the Hermit of Harker's Hollow" wild and noun tatnous place a few miles below here, has been found dead in his hovel by neighbors. They had not seen the old man for several days and, entering his retreat, found him sitting dead in an fmprovised chair.
 Flynn had never married, and all the money that came into his possession he hoarded in his hovel, which had not been cleaned in twenty years. 1t was so foul that the persons attracted to the place by the news of his death were afraid to enter. There was a chair or two in the house, with bed, dilapi- dated stove and trunk that did duty as a table. The house was barricaded front and back, and no one could have broken in without considerable effort.
 The first persons to enter the place, James Jordan and Justice Cole, began search for money. When they broke open the trunk they found a pile of bank bills, some of them covered with mold and almost unrecognizablo. Next they tore apart the bedding, and out of the collection of old rags fell coins of gold and silver. Tn an old lard can un- der some musty flour was bag of sil- yer. Tn the weather boards, in the chimney, under the rafters-in fact, wherever the men searched they found money concealed. When counted up it amounted to nearly $3,OO0. The search CTS were unable to nerve themselves to search the cellar.

Eighty Skeletons Found Tm Hulk of
 spanish yvaR Ship.

Spanish vvaR ship.
 MANILA, April 14.-The war ship Reina Cristina, flagship of Admiral Montijo, which was set on fire and sunk by Admiral Dewey in Manila bay May 1, 1898, haA been doated and beached. The skeletons of about eighty of her crew were found in the hulk. One skeleton was evidently that of an officer, for he had sword by his side.
 There are fifteen shell holes in the hull of the Reina Cristina, one made by an 8 inch and the others small. The main injection valve is missing, showing the ship was gcuttled when Admiral Montijo abandoned her. The hull is In fair condition.
 Captain Albert R. Couden, command ing the naval station at Cavite, took charge of the remains of the Spanish sailors, expressing desire to give them an American naval funeral. The Spanish residents, however, are anx- ious to ship the skeletons 70 Spain, and 1t is suggested that the United States transport Sumner convey them to Spain, by way of the Suez canal, in June.
 A wrecking company is endeavoring to raise all the snnken Spanish war ships.
 The Reina Cristina was one of the most powerful war ships which Spain had at Manila, her displacement being S,090 tons. She was an iron cruiser, intended primarily for speed. She car ried an armament of six 6.2 inch guns, two 2.7 inch guns, three 6 pound, two pound and six pound rapid fire guns, two machine guns and five tor pedo tubes. She carried crew of 370 men,

Crowd of Young Fellows Out Because
 Request Was Refused.

Request Was Refused.
 Fifteen young men in the employ of the Scovill Manufacturing Go went out this morning on account of a difference between themselves and Foreman Thunberg over wages. They told their story to Democrat reporter and made out a good case. They claimed that when they worked by the day they got 75 cents, but that they were on piece work most of the time and made from $1.25 to $1.50. Everything was going along nicely until 6 couple of tool set ters got into the department who didn't know their business, and as a result they were kept standing around good deal, and owing to the delay they often had to be content with 50 cents a day. The reporter told them that Foreman Thunberg was pretty decent sort Of fellow and that probably after he had cooled down he would think better Of 1t and would settle the ] alter with them. To this the spokesman, Nicholo Delap- DO, replied that he didn't think so. They had, he said, offered to keep their noses to the presses ten hours day, but he wouldn't listen to the proposi- ton. In answer to a question as to what they intended to do about 1t, a little sharp featured fellow remarked that he didn't see what they could do except scurry around and endeavor to secure work some place else. They had no union and had no grievance ex- cept that they had to idle about so much in the shop they, were not able to make what they considered they were worth.

Prisoner Gets His Head Caught in

 New Haven, April 1A-In the bottom of the grated door of each cell at the central police station there is an opening 6xS inches, through which food and water can be handed to the prisoners. Through this aperture yes terday afternoon, Victor Lundgren, a prisoner, thrust his head, having gotten it in, he was unable to extr1cate 1t and his clamor brought the attention of the officers. After trying in every possible manner to release the unfortunate's head, the bars were sawed. Lundgren then did not want to take his head out and had to be coaxed to do so.
 Some years ago, another prisoner got his head caught in similar man. ner and the bars had to be sawed sim ialrly.
