TO PAY INDIANS.
Millions of Dollars to Be Expended by
Uncle Sam in Near Future.

Uncle Sam IN Near Future
This year there will be commenced a
series of disbursements to Indians of the
FIVE civilized tribes that will total up
way into the millions. Tribal govern
ments are to cease in 1906, provided
Uncle Sam can close up the accounts
of the five tribes by that time.
With the funds on hand, the sale of
town Sites royalties and the sale of sur
plus land the total amount of property
to be given to the Indians not including
their allotments, will amount to about
$50, 100000 If all these funds were to
be disbursed during the year 1905, and
each Indian in the five civilized tribes
should get an equal share, it would
amount to about $500 per capita, but
they will mot share equally, as there will
be a difference in the amount of money
received by the different tribes.
In the case of the Usage nation, for
instance, there is nearly $S,O00,O00 to
their credit in the United States Treas
ury, the interest being sufficient to pay
each Indian an annual income of S164.
In addition to this the tribe has 1900
900 acres of land, the sale of which. at
low figure. added to the funds on de-
post, would complete an average for
each of the 1913 Osages of nearly ST.
900.
Despite these figures the fact remains
that many of the Indians are very poor.
1t is also true that these disbursements
may and probably will be dragged out
to cover months of time in the payment.
Indian payments usually are BY the
time all the land and property is sold
and the funds disbursed among the In
dams, some of the thrifty ones will have
absorbed great deal not due them, and
others will have become very poor in all
probability.

Cheaper than stones.

George Meredith, the author whose
novels deal with English social lfe'

which is described as being charm-

While the completion of his httle
home was going on young woman

some pride, took the young woman
through the building, but with an ex-
preston of disappointment she re-
marked:
I'm your books you describe huge
castles and spacious baronial halls;
but when you come to build, you put
up little bit of a house like this. why
is it,"

DIE IN ZEIGLER MINE.
THIRTY-FCUR MINERS KILLED IN
NINE EXPLOSIONS.
Men Entombed in Joseph Letters Coal
Shaft-Work of Rescue Ii Delayed by
Debris = Accumulated Gas Said to
Have Caused Trouble.

Two explosions, one following al
most instantly upon the other, so that
they appeared to have been simulta-
neous, killed thirty four men and in
jured eight in Joseph Letters mine
in Zeigler, H., Monday morning. The
first explosion was in the air shaft,
followed by the greater upheaval in
the main shaft.
Forty men Of the day shift, ten on
each of four cages, had gone to the
bottom. They were there when the
explosion took place. Supt. Hurd de-
clared the dead numbered thirty four
and may number thirty-nine The
majority of the dead are Greeks and
Lithuanians who went by numbers.
Besides the thirty four dead, three
taken out have fatal injuries and may
swell the death list.
Among the dead is a workman who
had been employed in the tipple, forty
feet above ground. Three near him
received probably fatal injuries.
In the effort to recover the entombed
men five rescuers were overcome by
afterdamp. All the searchers were let
down by hand. In two instances the
men above were nearly overcome by
gas.
The explosion was heard twelve
miles away and crowds rushed to the
mine mouth, but rescue work was pre-
vented then by the flames, smoke, and
suffocating gases arising from the
mine. Women and children, relatives
of the entombed men, crowded about
the mine, crying to know of their
loved ones, but not until night were
the rescuers able to secure any of the
bodies.
Explosion Caused by Accumulated Gas.
The belief is that the gas which ac-
cumulated over Sunday, owing, it is al
legged by w. d. Ryan, secretary of the
United Mine Workers of America, to
the fact that the miners did not know
how to deal with fire damp, and that
the mine was full Of it.
A cage was resting at the mouth of
the shaft to allow a force Of mechan-
les to enter the mine. j. L. Wood of
Cleveland, Ohio, was stepping on the
cage when the explosion occurred. He
was killed outright The flames, leap
ing out of the shaft, burned several
others, all of whom may recover. An
cvercoat worn by one of these work
men was torn from his back and car
ried to the top of the tipple, 100 feet
away. A six-ton cage was blown 500
feet from the bottom Of the shaft to
the tpple.
A miraculous escape from death was
experienced by workman on the air
shaft The conclusion hurled him six
ty feet into the air, and he fell outside
the stockade, seventy-iive yards away.
Besides a few slight bruises he was
not injured.
The rescue party found it difficult to
work owing to the absence of a proper
fan to purify the mine air. All the
bodies found, except two. showed no
marks of injury. indicating death by
asphyxiat ton. Both the main and air
shafts are badly wrecked. 1t is inn
possible to learn to what extent the
mine is wrecked below. Employees at
Zeigler say that the larger fan, upon
which the circulation Of air mainly de-
ponds, had not been in operation since
Friday, and this permitted the accu-
mutation of gases.

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
By Mothers Food and Drink,

Many babies have been launched in.
to life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience Of a Kan
sas City mother is case in point:
Il was a great coffee drinker from
a child, and thought l could not eat a
meal without it. But / found at last
it was doing me harm. For years
had been troubled with dizziness, spots
before my eyes and pain in my heart,
to which was added, two years ago, a
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born months ago, and almost from
the beginning, it, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking it from
mel
In my distress I consulted a friend
of more experience than mine, and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee did
not make good milk, have since ascer-
tanned that it really dries up the milk
so, l quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then 1 turned to Postum
Coffee with the happiest results. 1t
proved to be the very thing I needed
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself, but it increased the flow
of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got
well Of the dyspepsia with which he
was troubled. / no longer suffer from
the dizziness, blind spells, pain in my
heart or sour stomach. Postum has
cured them.
Now we all drink Postum from nv
husband to my seven months old
baby. 1t has proved to be the best hot
drink we have ever used. We would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
we ever drank" Name given by Post
