LOGANSPORT, Ind. Jan. 16.-What
promised to be the most genteel game of
the season turned out to be the toughest

The Logansport players went into the
third period with determination to redeem
themselves. but when Hardy, Danville's
new half back, tripped Murphy, the latter
retaliated by planting a left-hander on
Hardy's jaw and knocking him down. Dan

and the blow went wild. Hardy was fouled,
and Murphy. besides being fouled, was fined

ANOTHER FOOL ON DECK.
Dynamite Found in Trunk of
Passenger on a Ship.

Recently there was CONSERVATION on
the dock at Liverpool when the good
ship Majestic was unloaded on her ar
rival from New York. 1t seems that a
quantity of dynamite, sufficient 20 have
blown the boat to pieces and have kill
ed all aboard, was found in the trunk
of passenger named Ivan Ljubanoich.
According to a newspaper account 1t
appears that the stupid fellow had
gathered up eighteen pounds of dyna-
mite sticks and the 1850 detonators
slowed in the trunk bottom in the coal
mines of Pennsylvania, in which he
had been working; and how it ever
escaped the baggage smashers" OF
trains or stations on the way to New
York is mystery, while it is appall'
ing to think of what would have hap
pened all around had the trunk been
dropped just once hard enough to set
off the charge.

short SO, $50, and by resolution of the

The resolution was intended TO COW

has no repeating clause and is in con-
fict with the general law. Over 200
widows have been added to the rolls in
the last year, and nearly 400 will have
to wait for their money, as the deficit
is nearly 500, 900.

isthmus. These are a small, squalid
collection of hutF, inhabited by Indians
and half. breeds almost entirely. A
genuine white man is a curiosity
there.
But this region was once populous
aud busy with industry. Not far from
Yavisa stands Pine Mountain, rising
1000 feet from level plain. On the
further side of the mountain are gold
mines, deserted now for centuries,
and below them the rnins of a prehls-
toric city still called by the NATIVES
"The City of the King"
1t was probably the most northern
outpost of the Incas at the time of the
greatest extent of the Peruvian en-
pire, and when Peru decayed and fell
the City of the King" decayed and
fell with it.
The conquering Spaniards seized
the mines and worked them and built
on the nearer slope OF the mountain
considerable Spanish town, the YES
tipes of which are still to be seen,
though the site has long been aban-
doned. The Spaniards called the
mines Esprito Santo. They were clos
ed by order of the King of Spain be-
cause they used to attract buccaneers.
No Archaeological las explored this
lost "City of the King" and no one
knows whether the mines of Esprito
Santo are still rich in gold and silver
or are practically exhausted, for when
the edict of the King of Spain went
forth the region relapsed into a will
derness, such as it was before the
northern march of the Incas had stopp
ed on the shores of the Gulf OF San
Miguel
In 1854 an American exploring ex-
petition crossed the isthmus at this
point. OF party of twenty seven Off
GERS and men who started on the expe'
6ition only sixteen survived the jour
new and got through, which took over
two months, though the distance tray
eled was only about fifty miles.
There are many popular beliefs,
which may or may not be true, among
the negroes employed on the canal
concerning the wilderness stretching
to the eastward of the canal strip.
One is that, hidden in the forests, is
an ancient ard mysterious city to
which the Indians repair once year
to take part IN the heather rites OF an
old prehistoric religion.

INDIAN MAKES A SPEECH.
Is Pointed to as a Model of Con-

Chief Joseph, the famous old Indian
warrior, made d speech at the Carlisle

itorious a speech indeed thai we give
ourselves the pleasure of reproducing
it In full, feeling sure that every read
err will appreciate its fine points. It

Much fight. Led hundred warriors.
Big paleface, Gen. Miles, led more.
Iniun got chased, 400 miles. Stopped
running at Nez Perces. Gave up guns

OF the new republic of Panama the
outside world knows little and hears
little except that which pertains to
the narrow settled strip from sea to
sea along the line of the railroad and
the route of the proposed and partly
dug canal. But the republic comprises
many square miles besides this strip,
and in it are many interesting regions
and localities, some of them once IA
nous but now forgotten.
The canal strip is thickly populated,
but eastward extends mountainous
wilderness interspersed with swamps
ana iungles, through which Indian
trails wander.
The greater part of the region is
practically uninhahited, a few scatter
ed Indians here and there being the
only population.
There are only two exceptions to the
almost universal desolation. One is
found on the San Bias coast forty or
fifty miles east of Porto Bello, where
American cocoanut importers have es-
tabhshed trading stations.
The San Bias coast is great coun-
try for cocoanuts, and the Indians
bring large quantities of them down to
the beach for shipment, recei wing in
return cloth, knives, -four, trinkets
and a thousand and one 'yankee no
tions.
Some years ago an attempt was made
by the Columbian government to es-
tablish a customs service for this coast,
and one or two American vessels were
seized. The Indians were excited, and
after holding a council declared their
independence of Columbia, ran up the
American flag and sent word to the
first captain who touched at the coast
that they had annexed themselves TO
the United States.
They were a little aheaG o. time; at
ter awhile no more was heard OF Gus
toms supervision of the San Bias coast,
aud the Indians forgot their temporary
annexation.
A single trail, seldom nsed, along
which it is possible for only small par
ties to pass, leads from the San Bias
coast to Colon, a distance, as the trail
winds, of Is miles.
Another oasis is formed by the viii
LACE of Yavisa, on the river Tuyra,

BLACK DISTRICTS,
WILL BE THE SEAT OF REPUBLICAN,
ACTIVITY THIS YEAR.
Roosevet's Late Scheme to Force Negro
Domination. Republican Candidate
in Every Southern District.

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald is as follows:
Republi can candidates are to be
placed in the field in every congress
sional district in the south. With a
view of retaining control OF the house
of Representatives in the next national
election an effort will be made to carry
several of the overwhelming "black
districts in South Carolina, Missis-
sippi and Georgia by contest or other
wise.
Southern representatives who hope
for reelection are notified by their
friends at home that an unusually
large number OF negro voters are quail
flying or seeking to qua ify under the
existing election laws in all OF the
southern states. In Georgia, South
Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Vir-
giuia and Maryland the county and
state records show a remarkabl in-
crease in the number of negroes seek
ing election qualifications.
A delegation of southern republicans
called upon President Roosevelt re-
Gently to talk over the polite Il situa-
ton in their respective localities, and
inciden sally dictate the distribution of
federal patronage among their friends.
On that occasion the president said
that he expected the party managers
to make fight in every congressional
district, and denounced vigorously the
apaUhy and Indifference displayed by
republicans at congressional elections
in-the south.
Acting upon the presidents sugges-
ton the ways and means have been
provided to inspire southern reDublir
cans with greater interest in the next
congressional election. Democratic
representatives whose nominations
have heretofore been equivalent TO
cleo ion because of the absence of q
political opponent, are required to not
only face fight at home, but they are
to be met with a contested election
struggle before the house.
Southern congressman denOunee the
attempt of the republican leaders to
force a hight on the race issue, which
is inevitable If the proposed programe
i carried out. The most conservative
men in the south assert that they will
resist to the last extremity the effort
to force negro domination upon the
white people OF the south.
