OFFICE In INDIAN SER
VICE is ABOLISHED

The position of field matron of the
Puyallup consolidated Indian agen-
cieS has been abolished in accordance
with recommendations made by the
present field matron, Mrs. Ida w.
Quimby. More than a year ago she
asked that certain changes be made
for the good Of the service. one of
which was to have the day schools do
the work now covered by the field
matrOn.
Mrs. Quimby's work was largely of
a missionary character. 1t covered
the different agencies of the Sound.
She came to this field strongly recon-
mended BY the department. at Wash
ington, D. G.
She has labOIed faithfully in the
cause of bettering the condition of
the Indians in their home life.
Through her efforts, many young
Indian girls have been rescued and
placed in a way for earning their liv-
ing. In fact, she was to both sexes
alike kind of mother to them,
whom they contided their troubles,
and in this way she was enabled to
help and advise them.-Tacoma Wash

The Boy and His summer-.what Shall it Be?

The ease with which some people drop
into the habit of "doing nothing" is
readily copied by the boy or girl in the
summer when freed from school duties.
That the child needs rest is as true
as can De. But what kind of a rest is
the question? Do you think the child
obtains a rest that is allowed to re-
main around home and loaf all the
time? If so you are very much mis-
taken. It is rest for the boy or girl
to take up some little duty and learn
to accomplish something. A little
care may develop in-the child that
which will always make you proud
that the summer was not wasted.
Teach the child to earn a little money
and so awaken a wish for the right
kind of independence. Teach him
not only to earn it but to save it as
well. Teach him to get place for
himself where he may work and you
have taught him one thing that he
cannot learn in many years of school
life. It will thus lay the foundation
for the future as well as keep him off
the street.-Exchange.

THE WEST AND PROSPERITY
As Seen by a Travelling Man.

The interview was with a party
whose trip in the past two weeks has
extended from Central Minnesota
down through that state into Iowa.
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri.
There has been, perhaps, too much
rain he said throughout much of this
region, aud there will now be no
complaint if there is lot of dry, hot
weather. But the conditions were
never more favorable for large crop
than they are at the present time.
This is particularly true in South
Dakota and Nebraska. In Missouri
and Kansas the cut Of small grain has
been commenced Before this reaches
its readers it will have become general
in that region and Nebraska will
follow speedily. Within week a
wonderful change was wrought.
Hot weather which prevailed through
the southwest turned the fields of
small grain from green to golden, and
brought the ccrn on with bounds.
The wheat, oats, barley, rye stand
even, thick and strong.
The western cities look prosperous,
too. Kansas City has been growing
very rapidly in recent years. Build
ing operations have been somewhat
checked this spring by the exactions
Of the labor unions, but with a crop
coming on such as is now assured
there can be nothing but prosperity
for Kansas City and ST. Joseph, albeit
this last named city is sometimes
overshadowed by the place further
down the river. Following the panic
of 1893 there were number of years
when not a single business building
was erected in Omaha. During the
past year innumerable great ware
houses have been erected for the
multiplying and growing jobbing
houses of that city and the residence
section also shows improvement. But
in none of the western cities are the
signs of prosperity more marked than
in Lincoln. The capital of Nebraska
for a long time presented evidences
of the departed boom. There were
untenaDted buildings, and depop-
ulated suburbs. The whole town had
a forlOrn look. But this is no longer
the case. Many new buildings have
been erected and the city has taken on
metropolitan airs. The people of the
place look busy and prosperous. AL
this is the reflex of the prosperity
which is unmistakable throughout
Nebraska, and about which much less
has been said than about the restora-
zion and reformation of Kansas.
Travel the west ana there will be
found nothing to encourage the idea
that trade is to be below the normal
this fall. Here and there local condi-
tionS may limit trade but the west is
Enthusiastically prosperous.

Enjoy What You Can.

To be seured by poverty or to be
hardened by it is a miStake-an error
of thought. Instead of enjoying our
life we are crampiDg ourselves. It is
as if we were set at a feast and sulkily
refused to enjoy few dishes because
we could not reach everything on the
table and make ourselves sick, like
foolish children that we are.-Bliss

RAISING A STREET BLOCKADE One Stubborn Horse Was No Match for 17,ooo Horse-Power
 Trolley Car.

It Is familiar sight now, the start ing up of stalled truck by trolley car pushing it; but it seems to interest people just as much as 1t did when it was new, says the New York Sun. x Here, for instance, was two-horse truck with heavy load halted on the slope in Fulton street, between Church street and West Broadway. Good team. and able to haul the load, but the nigh horse had got tired half way up the slope and decided to take rest; and, of course, that tied up the>whole business In bad place, too, on that hill.
 The man with the driver got down and touched up the stubborn nigh horse with the whip, but that only made him more stubborn, and incidentally made !. him kick out sideways in an obviously earnest endeayor to injure the man with the whip.
 Outfit still stalled; and driver with < . big two-horse express wagon comes up behind and sets his pole against the load on the truck and starts his horses and tries to help in that way but now neither horse of the stalled team will pull. The off horse is not hanging back stubbornly like the nigh horse, but is standing still and resting, taking ad- vantage of the situation created by his more pugnacious team mate.
 So there's nothing doing with the help of the express team, and pretty soon the express driver sheers off and drives around the stalled truck and passes on. But then something hap pens.
 Just as the big express wagon sheered of, big Eighth avenue car swung around the corner from West Broadway into Fulton street, on its way to South Ferry and quickly closed up on the stalled truck, which was halted square on the track The motorman didn't waste any time, nor did he make any fuss over it; he just set his brake when he was about six feet away and then strapped up his fender against the dashboard of his car and mounted the platform again and nursed the car up to the tail of the truck
 It was nicely done. You couldn't hear it when they came together, with the iron-bound end of the truck resting against the heavy end guard of the car, with the turned-up fender between.
 And then the motorman turned on the power, gently, very gently, but ir- resistibly. It was 17,00o horse power, more or less, against one stubborn horse; and before the truck had been pushed foot that stubborn nigh horse settled into his traces and began to pull Apparently he had had similar expe- riences before and knew there was nothing to do but pull, or have the truck pushed all over him; and the off horse, who had been enjoying rest without any effort on his part, settled down, too, and the team walked away with the load without trouble.
 And with the team walked on a bunch of sidewalk spectators who, apparent ly, had found in this illustration of the effectiveness of the trolley. car as a street blockade raiser as much enjoy ment as they did in the first one they ever saw.

 to Aid Port Arthur.

to Aid Port Arthur.
 LONDON, Oct. 24.-Adyices from St Petersburg this morning say that there is no change in the relative positions of the armies on the Shakhe river General Sacharoff has reported that the Russians have been bombarding Lanuntung and the Buddhist temple at Linshinpu, while the Japanese have been shelling the Russian position at Shakhe and near Linshinpu.
 A dispatch from Mukden says that the Japanese are fortifying an impor. tant height south Of Shakhe and that neither side shows a disposition to ad- vance or to retire. Dispatches from the Russian front say the situation is not yet ripe for the resumption of the of fensive This doubtless indicates that General Kuropatlzin is maturing inn portant plans and distributing his forces in readiness for another attempt to break the Japanese resistance. The roads are now dried by wind and frost, the cold is intense, and flooded fields have been frozen up.
 A late dispatch from the Russian headquarters says that a Russian force has made detour to the west, arriv- ing abreast of Liaoyang. Greater im- portance is attached to report from Tokyo that POO Russians have crossed the Tattse river east of Bensihu and that 10000 are concentrated at Kauta pass, twenty miles northeast. This may indicate the direction of Kuropat- kin's next blow or possibly it is intend cd to disconcert the Japanese and com pei them to weaken their force on the railroad.
 General KuropatEdn is with the cen ter of his army and has personally con weyed the congratulations of Emperor Nicholas to Colonel Poutiloff and the Nineteenth rifles for the capture of Lone Tree hill.
 A telegram from Harbin reports the passage north of 26,0OO wounded. The remainder, who are quartered in hespi- tals at Mulden, cannot exceed few Thousand.
 A Shanghai report says that the steamer Canton, which sailed from that port, has successfully run the blockade at Vladivostok.
 A Chefu dispatch says the Japanese have resumed their attack on the Rus sian outer works at Rihlung mountain 5.After four hours fighting they sue seeded in capturing number of the Russian trenches and one small hill Tt Is the belief at Dalny that genera assault on Port Arthur will be made soon.
 A Mukden dispatch says that the Russians and Japanese remain in joint possession of Linshinpu village. west of the railroad, the Japanese obstinate Iy defending the fortified temple there The Russians have driven trench tt the village wall Great hardships art suffered by the troops in the trenche: and even in the huts, which afford yer. slight shelter from the frost at night The troops are beginning to receiv' their winter clothing.
