Alton II. Parker made an unfortunate
impression BY his speech of acceptance.
This impression was deepened by his
long delayed and much corrected letter.
By these two efforts the Democratic can

or since his nomination.
Upon every point raised by the candI'

The man who advocates the destruc-

political quack and demagogue. Large
corporations employ hundreds Of thou.
sands of men. To destroy them would
throw an army OF workingtncn out Of en-.

the laws against corporations and trusts
which are violating them and thus put
all on law-obeying basis. That

Judge Parker says he is in favor of
the Panama canal. but opposed to the
methods by which its construction was
secured. No method that a Republican

have met his approval. The only method

was one of trifiny and delay.

VERY DRASTIC
ORDER ISSUED
SAFEGUARDS THROWN AROUND
INDIANS WHO GET MONEY
Remarkable Restrictions Placed on
the Noble Red Men In Regards to
the Money They Receive From the
Sale Of Lands.

Washington Sept ri. One Of thc
most drastic orders ever issued by the
government for protection Of the sew
eral Indian tribes against fraud rob-
berry was promulgated by Acting Sec
retary of the Interior Ryan. The or
der ia question amends the. rules for
the. sale Of inherited Indian lands so
as to require that the proceeds derived
from their sale shall be placed In the
most convenient United States deposi-
tory to the ore dit of each heir in prop
ser proportion, subject to the check of
such heir and their recognized guard
ians for amounts not exceeding $Io to
each in any one month, before being
paid However, ii will be necessary for
these checks to be approved by the
agent or other officer in charge for
Sums in excess Of $40 per month. The
money will be paid upon the approval
of the agent only when specifically aii-
thorized so to do by the commissioner
.of Indian affairs Acting Secretary
Ryan said that heretofore the lands
have been sold to the highest bidder
and the proceeds paid directly to the
Indians, with the resulss that In many
instances the Indians were soon with
out their money.

lation without FIRST getting the author

Mcintyre, agent of the Imperial Ele-

cent Monday evening, Sept. II, with
$500 of the company's money in his
pockets. He failed to return the next
morning. as he intended to de.-~Citi.
Hzens instituted search, and failing to
locate him by Wednesday morning, they
notified his company. They, sent Super
intendent O'Brien to investigate He
assisted by a. representative of the Com
inercial Bond Co, and j. J. Mcintyre
of Colgate, N. d., made diligent search
but could find no circumstance to throw
light on the mans disappearance, The
prevailing theory has been that he had
met with foul play, and had lost his
life attempting to protect the money.
Nothing developed until the afternoon
of Sept. Io, when the pocket book minus
the money was found IN an old unused
blacksmith shop in St. Vincent. The
book contained several grain tickets thai
had not been delivered to the owners
This circumstance points to foul play

Servia's Murdered King an
Queen Were Forgotten ii the
Festivities.
No Attempt Made ON Life of The
New King. As Had Been II
Feared.

Belgrade, Sept b King Peter of
Servia, the successor Of the assassi-
mated King Alexander was crowned
today, the event being attended with
much pomp and ceremony. The coro-
nation took place in the cathedral in
the presence of the officials Of. state,
members Of the legislative assembly,
church dig11itafies, military officers
and deputations from all parts OF the
kingdom The courts of Europe were
unrepresented except by their regular
diplomats Representative in Belgrade.
The day was ushered in with sa-
lutte Of IoI guns fired from the Bel
grade fortress. Crowds early began to
assemble on the streets and by noon,
when the royal procession started from
the palace for the cathedral, the thor
oughfares and public squares were
densely thronged The route was
lined by several thousand troops. The
royal procession was a spectacle OF
considerable inagnifcence. 1t con-
sisted of various state officials, a band
and squadron of the guard preced-
ing the king carriage while the
crown prince, the royal family and a
squadron of cavalry followed. The
reception met with by the procession
was ON the whole lukeWarm on the
part Of the immense crowds, composed
chiefly Of people who had gathered
TO witness the pageant out Of curiosity.
There were. some cheers from people
in the streets and windows and hats
were waved, but many men did not
even uncover their heads.
AS the procession neared the cathe-
dral there was another salute Of IoI
guns and at the same time the bells
of all the churches in the city were
rung. At the entrance of the cathe-
dral the king was met by the arch
bishop and accompanying clergy and
escorted to the altar as the choir sung
the "Blagoslaverl, or Blessed be the
Name of the Lord. Then the arch
{ bishop gave the king cross and
Bible, after which Peter mounted the
steps Of the throne and sat upon it
Al lesson from the Bible describing
the amounting of Saul was read, when
the archbishop sprinlSled the crown
with holy water Then calling to him
