WILD DAYS IN ODESSA.
Drunken Policemen and Soldiers Run
ming Amuck Among the
People.

Here Is a correspondents record OF
the minor hooligan outrages of n
day in the city of Odessa recently:
Shortly before shutdown a drunken
member of a small military picket
staggered across to the edge Of the
broad pavement, raised his rifle and
fired wildly at a passing dorsky carry
ing two women and a young girl. The
bullet missed its mark. An officer, at
tracted by the shot, rushed over, and
the drunken soldier ran as best he
could, after dropping his rife, but was
brought down by a shot in the leg
from theN6ficer. On the opposite side
Of Cathedral place, 300 PAGES away,
about the same time, an intoxicated
policeman reeled out of a vodka shop
and commenced blazing about with his
revolver, one shot wounding a young
woman in the hand. He vas shot dead
by a member of the nearest picket.
Earlier in the day two small mer-
chants returning through a busy thor
oughfare from the custom house were
stopped by h~ooligans and robbed OF
everything. Thirty yards away stood
a picket Of two soldiers and a police
man. The indignant victims demand
ed to know why the picket did not
come to their assistance. One of the
soldiers replied 1t was none OF their
business; they were there to control the
traffic only.
"Two other cases of robbery with
violence occurred in the afternoon
close to my residence, in the outer dis
tricts Of the city there were II similar
assaults and robberies. and between
nightfall and midnight about 20. In
three of the latter cases the military
pickets were the bandits. A little girl
Of nine years, chased by the h%ooligans,
was shot dead on her own doorstep"

for the main tent, where they an
nounced that there were four cases Of
fever in the menagerie tent, and mai
settled it.
The mayor and police closed the
show On account Of yellow fever, and
we couldn't get out of the tent. Pa
had been quite close to the yellow girls
and when he found out that yellow
fever was a disease that catches you
when not looking, and in Is minutes
you look like a corpse, and in four
hours you are liable to be a sure
enough corpse, he shook the yellow
girls, and asked an old sailor what a
man ought to do who has been ex-
posed to yellow fever, and the old
sailor, who has mad yellow fever lots
OF times, told pa to strip of his clothes
and take a bath of prepared mustard,
and rub it in thoroughly, and then
wipe it off, and take a vinegar rub, and
after that sprinkle a little red pepper
on himself, put on different clothes
and drink about a gallon Of red lemon
ade and he could defy yellow fever.
Pa is an easy mark and he believed
the old sailor, who is tattooed and
makes a show Of himself with the
freaks, and pa took a change Of clothes
anG a bottle Of mustard and q cruet
Of vinegar and o bottle of red pepper
and went into a dressing room and got
behind a wagon and began to take the
cure the sailor had prescribed. don't

on the reserved seats in front OF the
little pulpit, improvised from the bar
rels the elephants stand on, and some
of them laughed and said: Hello,
Bill" and "Ah, there!" and Get on t
his collar and a lot Of other things.
The little husky preacher had a Sal
walton Army girl to play the metodeon,
and he didn't take any notice of the
remarks the boys made, except TO set
his jaws together and moisten his lipG.
Finally they were all seated, and he
got up to open the services, when a
big canvasman, a regular Smart Aleck,
got up on a seat and said: "Pardner,
how you going to open this jack pot?"
The crowd laughed and the preacher
pulled his long blue gun up out Of his
pocket, and laid it on the barrel, and
then picked 1t up and pointed 1t at the
big canvasman and said: This game
is going to be opened with this hand,
seven of a kind, all As caliber, dunn

quick | will send a mess Of bullets into
your carcass right where your heart
ought to be. If you open your mouth

lice to hunt them out, and put them in
a pest mouse. The Honduras females
were yellow as saffron, but it was
caused by the climate of Honduras,
but the whole show vas scared to
death for fear we would all have yell
low fever, and the management de-
tailed pa and to hide the yellow girls
from the police.
Pa fixed up ore of the cages, with
the girls BACKED up as H~ottentots and
pa and l BACKED up as an African king
and prince of the blood, and we did
stunts in the cage at afternoon and
evening performances, ard the crowd
could not keep away from u cage,
until pa got hot and unbuttoned his
shirt and, before we knew it, everybody
saw pas white skin below where his
face and neck were blacked, and while
we were talking giboerish to each 9TH
er a country jake got mad and he led
a crowd to open the cage and make us
remove our shirts to prove that we
were Hottentots.
When they found we were white peo-
pie BACKED up they wanted their
money back and were going to tip over
the cage, when pa saved the day by
making a speech. at the evening per-

The boys said it would be the biggest

opposed to mixing religion with the
circus business, because the fellows
could get all the religion they needed
in the winter, when the show was laid

a little melodeon into the ring, facing
the reserved seats, | told him the boys
were going to raise a rumpus and drive
him out of the tent with the bulldog
hanging to his coat tails. He put his
hand on his pistol pocket and pulled
a long, blue gun about half way out,
and let it drop back down beside his

SEQUOYAH THE NEW STATE
Why This Name Was Chosen to Des-
ignate the Former Indian
Territory.

In selecting the name Sequoyah for
the new state of what has hitherto been
the Indian territory, the statehood con-
stitutional committee has conferred a
fitting and very proper honor upon n
of the leading members of the Cherokee
nation, who did NOR ethan anyone else
to advance the cause of education and
civilization among his tribe.
The name Sequoyah to-day is chiefly
associated with the big trees of Califor-
MIA, but when used as a botanical name
the word is spelled Sequoia, says the
New York Times. Probably few per-
sons, however, know that Sequoyah,
from whom the mammoth trees were
named, and who is now to be honored in
the name Of a state, was the inventor OF
the Cherokee alphabet. This famous In
dian, whose memory deserves to be bet
ter known, was born about 1850, and HIS
early life was spent in the village Of
Tuskegee, Tenn. Among the white men
he bore the name Of George Guess, and
as a young man was noted as a success
full hunter and trapper. He possessed an
inventive turn Of mind and was a skill
full worker in silver ornaments.
On one of his hunting expeditions he
broke his leg, and during his enforced
idleness S~equoyah's attention was d.
rected toward devising an alphabet for
the Cherokee language. He realized the
Importance of written characters among
the white men, and after months of hard
work he submitted to the leading men
of his tribe his alphabet, consisting of
IS characters.
%Sequoyah was laughed at, and even
his wife called him a fool for spending
so much time in making queer charac-
tiers. He succeeded, however, in formu.
lating a list of characters expressing
every sound in the Cherokee tongue. 1t
was put to a severe test. The mission
aries among the Indians were quick to
appreciate its value, and about 1921
Sequoyah had the supreme satisfaction
Of seeing his alphabet adopted by the
Cherokees. With minor changes, Sc
quoyah's characters are in use to-day.
and educators have called his alphabet
one of the most perfect ever devised to
express any written language. Sc.
quoyah died in 1843.
The first printing press to use Sc
quoyan's alphabet was set up at New
Echota, in tine Indian territory, and its
first issue was a copy Of the Cherokee
Phoenix, published In February, 1928.
Within five years of the acceptance OF
the alphabet, over 700, 200 pages Of
Cherokee literature were printed in the
territory. Sequoyah lived to see many
beneficial results accrue from hts inyen-
ton, II such It car be called. He was
made q chief Of his tribe and received
many high honors from the red men be.
fore his death. His remains are buried
in the future state thst will bear his
name.

know as it was right to do 1t, but about
the time pa had got to the red pepper
course and was sprinkling it on his
skin pretty thick, and he was begin
ming to get pretty hot, and was yell
ing a little. I told the chief of police,
who was looAlng around with the
health officer for suspicious cases, that
there was a man acting sort of queer
behind the wagon that had q piece of
over the wheels. They both
rushed in on pa and grabbed him.
Gee! but pa looked and smelled like
a plate of pigs feet and the doctor said
it was an unmistakable a S of yellow
fever, he could tell by the smell, and
then pa turned pale and yellow from
and they wrapped him up in a
piece of canvas and took him away in
an emergency hospital ambulance, and
the whole show at nee knew that we
were in for a quarantine.
They burned up the suit of clothes
pa took off and the one he was going
to put on, and the ambulance drove
away, while pa shook one fist at the
sailor and one at me, and his skin be-
gan to shrink and smart. and he yelled,
and the audience stampeded, and the
show was in the dumps.
We had to stay over Sunday in Ev-
.ansyille, and the show people were
so scared the manager thought he bet
ter have religious services in the tent
Sunday, so they got a r~evivalist
preacher to preach to them, a fellow
who used to preach to the cowboys
out west. Sunday morning the tough
fellows in the show said they wouldn't
do a thing to the preacher when he
on to do his stunt. Their idea was
to wait until he got we'll on his
sermon and Their begin to interrupt
him and ask questions, and finally to
get a blanket and toss him up a few
times for luck, and then chase him out
and have the circus bulldog, that

well, we have had a row for your
life, and all the excitement anybody
can stand. We got into Indiana and
have had a yellow fever scare, a quar-
antine that lasted one night, so nobody
could sleep on our train, a riot at Ev-

female trapeze women that came from
Honduras, via New Orleans, and a re-
vival of religion, all in one bunch, and

The female trapeze performers, who
had been expected ever since we start
ed on the road, had been quarantined
at New Orleans. where the yellow fever
Is raging, and finally got through the

noon. and some official t~elegraphed to

1t has developed that DR.. Haugh was

make you irritable; you can't sleep,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in women is SO close
that nine-tenths of the pros
t~ration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and rvo irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
~irritability. Spirits easily affected. SO
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss of voice;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry
at the least p~rovocation. All this points
to nervous prostration. h
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 1O3 Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y, writes:
II cannot express the wonderful relief I
have experienced by taking Lydia 3. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. I suffered for
a long time with nervous prostration, back
ache, headache, loss of appetite. l could
not sleep and would walk the floor almost
every night.
:" had three doctors and got no better, and
life was a burden. / was advised to try
Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.
81 am a well woman, my nervousness is all
gone and my friends say I look ten years
younger"
Will not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of it's virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick and weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as
other women.

Soon after the late Gilman Marston, of

1t involved a somewhat complicated ques-
ton of inheritance, says the Boston Her
aid. But the young man, in no way
daunted, took the case, looked up author
tiles ali the way back to Julius Caesar.
and prepared an argument of a few hum
bred pages which seemed to him unan-
swerable. His only fear was that It
might be beyond the comprehension Of
the court.
When his case was called Mr.. Marston
rose with inward assurance and plunged
in boldly. The Judge seemed interested
and he took heart. But at the end eff
an hour and a half, in the midst of The
most intricate part Of his plea, be a
panied to see what looked like a lack of
attention on the part of the court.
1t was as he had feared; the judge
was unable to appreciate the nice points
