FEARED BURIAL IN TRANCE.
Unhappy Existence Led by Victim Of
Peculiar Disease,

SSh''Nf S'SNNSNs
In one of my voyages from Cape
Town to England, " writes traveller,
81 shared my cabin with a peculiar
man, whose name was Lazarus. He
made me promise that if he should die
during the voyage | would prevent
his burial at sea. He said that on a
previous voyage he had fallen sick
and was taken for dead and put into
a sack for burial. A quartermaster
had been put on to watch the body
until it was time for the funeral.
When the burial party arrived, the
quartermaster informed the captain
that he thought the body had moved
in the sack. The sack was opened
and Lazarus eventually came to life
again. Such was the story Lazarus
told me. Lazarus was a thin man,
with a SallOW face. He had an en0r-
nous appetite and appeared at every
meal, to which he devoted his whole
energies. The good feeling only
seemed to add to his corpse-like ap-
pearance. One evening, sure enough,
when we were about half way to our
voyages end, he apparently died
again. The doctors took him in
charge this time, however, and he
came out of his trance without any
shotted.sack episode He was met
al the London docks by a number of
relatives and friends. all of whom
looked as if they might be suffering
from the same complaint. ~

cHERoKEEs WIN RICH SUIT.
They Are Entitled to Principal and
Interest Of $4,50O000.

Washington, March 22.-The cases
of the Cherokee Indians and of indi-
vidual Cherokees against the United
States were decided by the court OF
claims today. They involve large
amount of money and are of an I'm
usual and extraordinary character.
The United States bought the Chero-
kee outlet, agreeing to pay for 1t
$S,SOO,00O being about 81 per acre,
and also agreeing to reopen long
standing controversy between them
selves and the Cherokees. In 1885 a
treaty was made under which the
Cherokees were to move or be remov-
ed from Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee to the Indian territory. The
Cherokees contended before they were
removed that under the provisions
Of the treaty they were not to be made
to pay the cost of removing from
homes which they did not wish to
leave to country to which they did
not wish to CO. The government held
to the contrary. When the Cherokee
outlet was sold the Indians attorneys
commended that all Of their accounts
should be reopened and the matter
equitably settled. and for that pur-
pose the United States should make
out an account and transmit it to the
Cherokee nation. If the Cherokee
nation adopted it, congress should i'm
mediately appropriate for whatever
balance might be found due. The &C.
count was adopted, but congress did
not appropriate the money and for
some time did nothing. In the pres
ent suit the court Of claims decides
that the account transmitted by the
secretary Of the interior, followed by
this inaction of congress, renders the
United States liable for the balance
of $1,111,2S4, with interest from June
70, 1888. which amounts approximate.
ly to S4,500,000.

MALICIOUS AND UNTRUE.
The Santa Fe Denies the Armour
Coal Rebate,

Topeka, Kan, March 21.-Santa Re
officials brand as malicious and I'M
true the report published in Chicago
to the effect that Armour & Company
had received rebates from the Santa
Fe on coal shipped to Kansas City
the Pittsburg and Frontenac district
amounting to more than $25O,OOO
w. J. Black, general passenger
agent of the Santa Fe, says: 1.-The
Santa Fe has not shipped a pound Of
coal for Armour & Company from the
Pittsburg or any other district in
years, and has never hauled to eY-
coed a very few carloads of coal for
that company. The publication of the
report is a fair sample of the efforts
being made ostensibly to help the oil
producers in Kansas. -
During the examination in Topeka
of W. J. Healy, freight auditor of the
Santa Fe, the matter of coal rates
was gone into. The rates on coal to
Kansas City we're taken up but there
was no testimony Or evidence of any
kind introduced which indicated that

THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Ways That Are Pleasant and Paths
That Are Peace.

1t is the simple life that gives
length of days, serenity of mind and

Simple hopes and ambitions, bound

neighbors, simple pleasures, habits,
food and drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much into
their experiences-they climb too

SECRETARY HAY ILL.
Country Has No Conception Of States
mans Labors.

New York, March 21,-Secretary of
State Hay was taken i'll as he was
about to board the White Star liner
Cretic for a voyage to the Mediter-
ranean and became so weak that he
was taken on board the steamer in a
wheel chair. That his condition was
not regarded as alarming seemed ap-
parent, however, as the steamer
started on her voyage without delay,
The secretary's plans include stay
of about six weeks in southern
Europe.
At the White Star dock there are
several short flights of stairs leading
to the second floor from which floor
the boarding Of the steamer is made
In going up these stairs Mr. Hay had
to rest at each landing. Just as he
reached the top he reeled back, but
recovered himself and kept on. As
he was about to start up the gang
plank he was seen to turn deathly
white and stagger, and he would have
fallen had not his friend supported
him. The secretary was assisted to
a heap of freight piled near the gang
plank, where he sat down and waited
until an invalld's chair was brought
from the steamer. He was then
aboard the steamer and went
at once to his apartments.

GREER COUNTY LOSES OUT.
Has No Claim Now on the Texas
School Fund.

Washington, March 22.-ln an opin-
ion of Justice Holmes the supreme
court today decided in favor of the
state of Texas, the controversy be-
tween Greer county, Oklahoma and
the state of Texas over lands granted
by that state to the county for school
purposes when the county was part
of Texas. The decision was based on
the ground that Greer county, Okla,
is not the same person that Greer
county, Texas, was and that it, there
fore, has no claim upon the Texas
school fund.
The controversy arose out Of the
fact that the territory included in
Greer county formerly was considered
as within the territorial limits of
Texas, and that while the county was
thus regarded four leagues of land ly-
ing in Hockey and Cochran counties,
Texas, were patented to the county
under the laws of Texas for school
purposes.
When the supreme court decided in
1905 thnt Grnar county was no mart
of Texas and the county became a
part of Oklahoma Texas instituted
proceedings in the courts Of that state
to recover TIE land and the decisions
were favorable to the state. The case
came to the supreme court from the
court of civil appeals for the third cir
cult of the state and that courts de-
clsion today was affirmed

SC|AT|C TORTURE
PAIN SUFFERED BY MR.. MARST0N
AS GREAT AS MORTAL CAN STAND.
For Six Months He Could Not Turn In
Bed-He Tells of Remedy Which
Has Given Perfect Relief.

nus Ulttu Itlltl,
The case of Mr.. Marston shows that
sciatica can be cured, and no one afflicted
by it should allow himself to be dis
heartened. He was first stricken about a
year ago, and for six months he suffered
pain which he thinks the most intense
that any man could possibly stand.
Asked about the details Of his remark
able recovery, Mr.. Marston gave the fol-
lowing account: II was attacked by q
numbness Or dull feeling just back Of my
right hip. Ididn't know what the mat
ter was, but thought it was simply
stiffness that would wear away i'll
short time. Tt didn't, however, and
soon the pain became so very bad that
every step was torture for me. When I
finally succeeded in gettinghome twas
just as much as | could do to reach my
room and get to bed.
"The doctor was sent for, and when he
had examined me he said Ihad sciatica.
Heprescribed forme, and advised me not
to try to leave my bed. The advice was
unnecessary for I couldn't get out Of
bed if wanted to. 1t was impossible for
me to turn from one side to the other.
The moment | attempted to move any
part of my body, the pain became so ex-
cruciating that would have to lie per-
fectly motionless.
~ suffered this torture for six months
without getting any relief. Then dis
charged the doctor, and on the advice Of
a friend bought a box of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and began to take them, three
at a dose, three times day. ! was de-
termincd to give them thorough trial.
1.-TWO months after began to use
them I was able to leave my bed and
walk about the house, and amonth later
I was entirely cured and able to go about
my work as usual. l think DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are the best medicine I ever
used, and I heartily recommend them to
anyone who suffers from sciatica."
Mr.. Marston is a prosperous farmer
and may be reached by mail addressed
to Charles P. Marston, Hampton P. O.,
New Hampshire DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have cured other painful nervous
disorders. such as neuralgia, partial par
alysis and locomotor ataxia. They are

TO RAISE MONEY AT HOME.
Russia to Float $t00,000,000 Loan
at 5 Per Cent,


ST. Petersburg, March 20.-An in
ternal credit loan Of SlOO,OOO,OOO on
a 5 per cent basis Is now being ne
gotiated by the ministry of finance.
The loan will be floated probably in a
short time. The price of issuance
has not been determined upon, but
probably will be 50 to 95. The Asso-
ciated Press was informed at the min
istry that the issuance of the loan is
entirely Independent of the French
negotiations, which have not yet been
concluded. Domestic rentes will be
issued for a long term, and will as
in the case of the internal credit loan,
not be subject to the obligations Of
foreign loans. The payment of the
interest and principal will be in gold
and probably will be taxable. The
determination of the government to
turn to Russia itself for funds was
taken only recently, Yesterday the
minister of finance conferred with a
number of the principal bankers of
St. Petersburg and Russia generally
and received the assurance that the
project was feasible. The banks are
prepared to underwrite on suitable
terms. The government savings bank
it is said will assume $25,O0O,O0O of
the total, and such banks as the Mos
cow Merchants and the Volga and the
Kama banks are well able to under
write large portions Of the loan from
their resources.

READY OR PEACE.
Cars Minister Says That Japan
Must Be Reasonable.

CzdfS MINISTER DAYS nat Japan
Must Be Reasonable.
st. Petersburg, March 81. - While
Emperor Nicholas, whose word is
final, still declines to abandon the
prosecution of the war. and the gov
eminent maintains its ability to con-
tinue the conflict, the Associated
Press is in a position to state that
powerful influences, including sew
eral of the emperors own ministers,
are now strongly urging that the time
has come to indicate to Japan Rus,
sias desire for peace upon a reason.
able basis.
Should Japan then attempt to i'm
pose too enerous conditions these in
fuences argue that in view of the
universal wish to see the bloody con-
flict ended Russia's position will be
strengthened abroad by the aliena-
ton of sympathy from Japan and the
situation at home improved when the
nation is made to understand that the
emperor's pacific proposals have been
met with impossible terms.
One of the emperor's ministers, in
a conversation with the Associated
Press, said:
1--WE have suffered bitter defeat on
land and sea. We can. however, still
continue the war. But both countries
have suffered great losses in blood
and treasure and it would only profit
the rivals of both were we to fight on
until one or the other is exhausted.
Russia has had hard task fighting
the war against such adversaries 5000
miles from home, and | contend she
can make dignifed peace without
glory, but not without honor As the
victor on land and sea. Japan can af-
ford to remember as Bismarck did at
the conclusion of the Austro-Prussian
war, that two countries which must
live through the long future as neigh.
bors may need each others friend
ship.
Japan may consider the time pro
pitious on account of the situation in
European Russia to try and crush
u.s. Suppose, for the sake of argu'
ment, she succeeded in finally fore
ing a humiliating peace, it could not
be more than an armed truce. Rus
STA is too big and powerful to retire
permanently from the field. The
clouds at home will eventually roll
away. With the army and navy re-
in five, ten Or fifteen years
there will come inevitably our re-
venge. No permanent peace is posi-

SEEDING IN PROGRESS IN WEST.
ERN CANADA.
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
Of Settlers. A

The splendid yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
As a result the inquiries made Of the
