sketch must be written to give me and
partner a chance to do our specialties.
So it will have to be something like

are getting wise and they've cut off

the door I'm doing light housekeeping
tied from me bed to the gas jet, and
I'm drying me stockings on it.

HOGS ARE UNPROFlTABLE
The Packers Would Bring Prices Down
or Buy Sparinqiy.


Live Stock World: ut is very evident
that the packers will not pay any more
for hogs If they can help it," remarked
an expert, and the fact must not be
overlooked that when hogs get into the
81 list they are dear. Nevertheless con-
siderable manipulating has been neces-
sary to prevent a further advance and
had eastern shipping demand been
strong prices could not have been kept
down. 1t seems that every time the
market opens higher on light receipts
killers lay back or stay out of the a
ket, causing a lower close. When re-
ceipts are heavy and the opening Is
lower they compete and the finish is
higher.
Packers insist that hogs cannot be
~profitably handled at present prices and
that a lower range must prevail before
they will lend the market a helping
hand At the same time the majority
of those on the selling side believe in
continued high prices owing to the
small number in sight for the next few
months. But hogs nay go Off so cents
q hundred from present prices and still
be high, although the trader who is
expecting a margin must exercise eau
ton. If he anticipates the market by
getting bul]ish notions into his head
he is likely to collide Win trouble"

MUST CHANGE NAMES.
If Indians Want Government Money
They Must Adopt Irritable
Handles.

Washington special: 1t will sur.
prise the great and respectable family
whose surnam is Coffee to learn that
the commissioner Of Indian affairs, w.
A. Jones, has pronounced the name de-
grading and no more to be tolerated
than III popular Indian names as
"Drunkard" inc Tobacco"
Al the suggestion of Hamlin Gar
land, who writes western stories and
recently has spent months among the
C~heyennes and Arapahoes in Okla
homa, the commissioner Of Indian af-
fairs has issued an order to all Indian
allotting agents and school teachers
changing the names of all Indians
which are now what Commissioner
jones and Mr.. Garland consider "un-
couth" and "unpronounceable." The
commissioner writes:
IS ndia become citizens of the
United States under the allotment act,
the inheritance Of property is gov
erned by the laws Of the respective
states, and it will cause needless con-
fusion and doubtless ultimate loss to
the Indians il no attempt is made to
have members of a family known by
the same family name on the records
and by general reputation. The Indian
is now half between the old life
and the new, and his name should indi-
cate it.
Among other customs Of white peo-
pie Indians should adopt our system
Of family names, but at the same time
the original Indian name should be re-
tanned as far as feasible. The allotment
roll as far as practicable should, like a
family register, group the allottees ac-
cording to their natural relations and
start each allottee with a reasonable
family nane Each child at school
should retain that NAME"
This is the second effort which has
been made by the interior department
to change the names of Indians carried
on the pay roll Of the United States.
Ten or fifteen years ago an officialsat
the interior department became dis
gusted with the long, unpronounceable
names of the Comanches. He wrote to
the Indian agent at Anadarko and told
him that henceforth in sending in the
lists Of Comanche names for grass
money he should use the English
translations.
The agent replied thai 1t would be
quest, but that 1t would inevitably lead
to great embarrassment. The Indian
agent then took an assorted list of Co
manche names and submitted them
with their English equivalents. This
reply stopped the scheme of using Eng
lish tranSlations for indian names. The
present scheme is a complete change
from the first system attempted, and
the Indian family name, wherever it
can be used at all, is to be retained.
Where the name is vulgar a new one
will be substituted. Among the names
to be changed are such as Tobacco"
"Mogur' and Coffee" which are de-
grading, declares Mr.. Jones.

A r in DESERT
Eleven Victims of a Fiend or Gang Of
Thieves Found.

Eleven Victims of a Fiend or Gang oil
Thieves Found.
The great Mojave desert holds many
strange n weird mysteries, but Aone
more gruesome than that which is now
causing apprehension among those who
have occasion to travel across its
sands.
There is a mysterious murderer ir
the desert. He is known as THE
Strangler," for the victims all bear the
mark Of a rope or cord about the neck.
Who or what he is no man can say,
for none have seen him and lived to tell
the tale. Within forty days eleven OF
his victims have been found. A mar
named Harmon started across the des-
ert three e to examine some
mineral claims. He had several hun
dred dollars with him to buy the claims
II they proved satisfactory. He was
found with the marks of the cord about
his neck Inc his money was missing.
One or two others of the victims were
known to carry sums Of money when
they rode out into the desert, but upon
their bodies when found nothing OF
value was discovered. Robbery is the
plain object Of the stranger. The meth
cd is much like that Of the now extinct
Thug Castle in India.
In all instances but one, the victims
have gone out alone. A little more thar
five weeks 6 John Carmen and An
drew Frotham rode away from San
B~ernardino together. They We're start
lug on a prospecting tour and We're
therefore not expected back at any
def1nit time. Three men returning
from the mines last week found their
bodies side by side twenty-five miles
from Dagget. The peculiar atmosphere
dry and hot-preserves the bodies of
men who meet death in the desert. They
dry up like mummies. These two bod
les We're easily identified as the bodies
of Carmen and Frotham. 1t is argued
that one man could not overpower two
braWny men like these prospectors, and
1t leads to the suspicion that there are
at least wv and possibly a gang of
strangulars preying Systematically upon
desert travellers.
