ACCORDING to report in the daily
state papers, General Manager Jeff
n. Miller of the Gulf Coast Line
is now on his way to Mexico City,
and the inference is that he is go
ing in order to confer with the
Mexican government in regard to
grants and concessions for the con-
struction of the Tampico extern
sion of the Brownsville road. That
Mr.. Miller will obtain all that is
needed for the speedy accomplish
ment of the company design can
not be doubted. The proposed
road to Tampico will be of the
greatest importance in the develop
ment of that section of the Mexi-
can coast between the mouth of
the Rio Grande and that of the
Panuco overwhelming, in fact,
the entire coast of the state of Tam
aulipas. This coast is rich in nat
ural resources, both agricultural
and mineral, rich with the most
fertile soil in the world and the
balmiest Of tropical climates, fan
ned by the breezes of the Mexican
gulf. It's possibilities are almost
undreamed of. Its potential i'm
portance TO Mexico commercially
cannot be over-estimated. Besides
its great natural resources. the fact

BIG GRAFT EXPOSED
Secret Service Detective, Posing as School
Teacher, Makes Revelations.

Sioux City, June 20.-Facing
nearly the entire Winnebago In
dian, Indian Commissioner Francis
Leupp has threatened to deprive
them of their cherished dances, ali
government rations, and to compel
them to work with their hand un-
less they desist from the debasing
practices which completely enthrall-
ed them.
The commissioner had a word
for the whites, who have been
grating on the helpless but rich
tribe for years. The accusations,
said the commissioner, would be
sifted to the bottom, and he init
mated strongly that he had evil
dence to warrant drastic measures.
Indian agents, inspectors and
other government officials have
fallen into the net of border graft
ers, and the department has had
scandal after scandal on its hands,
but was never quite able to make a
thorough cleaning out of the alleged
debauchers and robbers of the reds.
1t was a neat trick, therefore,
turned by the new Indian commits
sioner when he sent month ago a
demure young woman to teach in
the Indian school at the agency.
Miss Scovel came as other teachers
had come, and did her work well.
But it has just turned out that
Miss Scovel is in the government
secret service and under iustruc-
tons from Commissioner Leupp.
She has been able to gather the best
information yet obtainable by the
department, for she has seen much
from her unassuming position, and
learned much by sagacious ques
tioning. Not even the newly ap-
pointed agent, Mr. McFatridge,
knew Miss Scovel was anything
br,+ n cChOo1r,7a' AN,
She has turned over to the COM
missioner a mass of written report,
which, he admits, shocks him, as
he had scarcely expected so deplor-
able a condition, although he had
heard much.
He believes the Winnebagoes,
who were once industrious, have
become the most INDECENT and de-
graded of any tribe under govern
ment control. The commissioner,
whose coming was a direct result
of visit to President Roosevelt
and to Mr.. Leupp by the Rev.
Father Joseph Schell, the redoubt-
able priest, who for year has been
trying TO drive out a remnant of
the tribe, has commended the priest
and urged him to continue to assist
in the house cleaning.

Hyomei has performed almost mir
aculous cures of catarrh, and is today
recognized by leading members of the
medical profession as the only advertis-
ed remedy that can be relied upon to do
just what it claims. The complete out
fit of Hyolnei costs S1.00, and consists
of an inhaler, a medicine dropper, and a
bottle of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler
for a few minutes four times a day, and

of the air passages, prevents irritation
and effects a complete and lasting cure.
In Perth Amboy there are scores of
