Washington, Dec. 3O.-At the in

interested himself in the reports from
abroad of massacres and contemplated
massacres OF Jews in Kishinef, the state

oAfI' y. M. CARTER Carter, w nose
trial made him an international figure,
was given the position Of boOkkeeper
when he first entered the military pris-
on. The work was light and could be
quickly finished. which left the former
captain many leisure hours. which he
spent in broOding over his troubles.
He became extremely nervous and was
fast becoming a physical and mental
wreck when he was placed In charge
Of the flower gardens and lawns. This
work occupied most Of his time and
he improved in health. Later he was
placed in the prison hospital, where he
acted as nurse and kept up records for
the ply sicians.
Carter. during his incarceration,
never associated with any prisoner.
aside from Captain Deming, another
army officer prisoner. who was re-
leased on habeas corpus some time
since. He was. however. always kind
to prisoners who were injured or Ill.
He has been a model prisoner himself
and has won the respect Of all the
officials at the penitentiary.
Carter has sued the government for
$723. 900. on the grounds that he was
unjustly convicted by the military tri-
bunal. BY winning this suit he will
claim a vindication from first to last.
Carter alleges he never would have
been convicted In civil court. and
that he was the victim of prejudice on
the part of several officers who were
members of the court martial. He pro-
claimed at one time that he was
martyr to military injustice and com
pared himself to the French army cap
tain, Dreyfus. The suit will come up
in Chicago
During the last year the ex-captain
has been studying mining engineering.
and II he be successful in his suit he
proposes to spend considerable time in
Arizona and New Mexico, where he
and his uncle, l.. D. Carter. Of Dan

Do Not Sleep On the Left Side
When patient complains of a bad
taste in his mouth every morning on
waking up, says a physician, the first
question l ask him is us to the posi-
ton he assumes when going to sleep.
An Immense number of people sleep
on the left side. and this Is the most
common cause of the unpleasant taste
which is generally attributed to dys.
pepsia. II a meal has been taken with
In two or three hours of going to bed,
to sleep OH the left side is to give the
stomach a task which 1t Is difficult In
the extreme to perform. The student
Of anatomy knows that all food Ell.
tiers and leaves the stomach on the
right side, and hence sleeping on the
left side soon after eating involves a
sort Of pumping operation which Is
anything but conductive to sound re-
pose. The action of the heart is also
interfered with considerably, and the
lungs are unduly compressed.
Drink at Meals.-In an interesting
and somewhat historical article DR..
c. A. Ewald. Of Berlin, discusses the
mooted question Of drink at meals He
considers soup, because Of its small
percentage of nourishing material,
merely as fluid; he states that. aside
from what Is directly taken as drink,
much fluid reaches the stomach during
a meal, through the sauces and from
the water percentage (both natural and
by cooking Of the meats, vegetables,
etc. Most persons feel the necessity
Of adding more fluid to the meal by
drinking either ordinary water, carbo-
mated waters or alcoholic beverages.
The more one eats, generally. the more
one drinks, and the greatest eaters are
generally the greatest drinkers. II

Is less; indeed, on the above very great.

insure for obesity.
1t is well-known fact that II the
appetite Is weak and the mind and
nerves are somewhat relaxed, a drink
of water will excite the appetite and
stimulate both brain and nerves; and
that Is due directly to the fluid and
not to alcohol, for we find the results
to be the same in abstainers. The
more fluid in the way Of gastric Juice,
the greater is the quantity secreted;
hence the greater the tax upon the gas
trio glands.
Under normal circumstances how.
ever, the stomach. without detriment,
accommodates itself to range OF
large quantities Of fluid. Ewald says
that much Of the fluid passes into the
intestines. another portion is absorb
ed; hence there never is in the normal
stomach a stagnatiOn of large quaint.

ed at Butte, Mont, sent to the

train, 80 of the most popular young
ladies in Montana. The voting con-
test was statewide, including each
of the 26 counties in Montana. In
each of the 23 counties one candi-
date was elected; the circulation OF
the Inter-Mountain being larger in
the other three counties. three young
women were elected from one and
two each from the remaining coun-
ties.
In conducting the contest each
county voted separately. Blanks for
the nominating candidates were pro-
vided by the Inter-Mountain, and in
order for a girl to enter the contest
it was only necessary to have the in
dorsement of three well-known citi-
zens of her county.
The 80 successful young women
were given a two-weeks' trip to the
Worlds Fair, every item of expense
paid, even street car fares while in st.
Louis. Each winner was furnished
with transportation from her home to
Butte and return. A special train was
run from Butte to st. Louis. Excel

vided for the party and special facil-

Six cases of diphtheria have deyel-
oped among the Indian children on
the Umatilla reservation, and the
schools have been closed by order OF
DR.. T. M. Henderson, the govern
ment physician. The Indians are
badly frightened, as a general spread
of the disease is feared. Two cases
of measles have also been discover
ed by the physician in charge.
"The diphtheria and measles cases
are very serious" said DR.. Hender-
son, 'and the Indians have ample
grounds for fright. Pendleton citi-
zens will do well to take precautions
against the transmission of the
scourge to this city. I must confess
that the spread of diphtheria is a
great deal broader than 1 desire.
Such diseases as diphtheria and
measles among Indians as a rule, are
more severe than when confined to
white persons, and the cases at the
agency appear to be of a virulent
type"
Two of the cases being treated by
DR.. Henderson were developed a
week ago, but were not reported to
him until yesterday. He then made
an investigation that resulted in the
discovery of four more. Three of the
diphtheria patients are at the Catho-
lie mission, two are in the family of
Indian Policeman Narcisse Bushman
and the sixth was reported this morn
ing.
There are As Indian pupils in the
reservation schools. They will not
be allowed to attend school until the
epidemic is checked, and a close in
spection will be made every day or
two of each family.
For the present." said DR.. Hen
derson, Il am giving the patients the
anti-toxin treatment, which is recog-
nized by leading physicians as the
most effective way of fighting diph-
iberia. So far only two cases of
measles have been brought to my
notice"
In years gone by diphtheria and
measles have destroyed thousands of
Indians, young and old throughout
the Northwest. The massacre of DR..
Marcus Whitman and the members
of his mission, half a century ago, is
said to have been brought on by rea-
son of the fatal spread of measles
among the Indians. The savage way
of treating all diseases was a period
of steaming in sweat house." fol-
lowed by a plunge in the icy river.
With measles and diphtheria, how
ever, when the Indian came to the
surface after his cold plunge, he was
generally "memaloose." Whitman
attempted to treat the sick, but their
strenuous sweat house" remedies
generally counteracted all his efforts,
and the result was the Siwashes be-
lieved the missionary had brought
the malady from the East to destroy
them,
