Concentrated Wisdom.

The following address was deliv-
cred by young Indian student on
his graduation from the agency
school. Not many white pupils could
have condensed the truths enumer-
ated into such small space:
MY friends, l do not propose to
excite hostilities by advancing the
proposition that we stand on the
threshold of life. | leave that to the
pale-faced graduate of a more athletic
curriculum. l came from a town OF
300 souls and eighteen real estate
agents. On my return my kinsmen
will stroll out of the tepee to greet
their brother and ask him where he
got that hat, while the dusky daugh-
ter of Bay-Horse- With-the- Chambers
will don her pink waist.
All that the red man is today he
owes to the pale-face. We have been
So benevolently assimilated that one
measly government agent can round
up and herd whole Indian reserva-
ton. The pale-face lobster gives US
bottle of whisky-with a string tied
to it. And the string reaches to the
federal court room, where we lie
around for couple of weeks while
the witnesses are cashing in their pay
vouchers. Then we walk home in a
snOwstorm.
The sun of the red man is setting
in the west Soon will his copper
colored tribes be assimilated by the
copper trust and he will be extinct.
You may put him into a bicycle suit
and tan shoes, but he will continue
to yearn for planked muskrat and ia
maica ginger. His days are number

ment, which provides for the regula-
ton of professional baseball was
completed today by the national com.
mission, and will be made public in
few days. Most of the changes were
agreed upon at the recent meeting OF
the commission in this city. Increased
authority for the national commission
in enforcing the agreement, and more
open dealing in drafts and selling are
the most important changes, many
amendments being minor.

GRATEFUL TO CUTIcURA
For Instant Relief and Speedy Cure of
Raw and Scaly' Humour, Itching
Day and Night-Suffered
Months.

81 wish you would publish this let
ter so that others suffering as have
may be helped. For months awful
sores covered my face and neck, scabs
forming, itching terribly day and
night, breaking open, and running
blood and matter. 1 had tried many
remedies, but was growing worse,
when l started with Cuticura. The
first application gave me instant re-
lief, and when l had used two cakes
of Cuticura Soap and three boxes of
Cuticura Ointment, l was completely
cured. (signeO Miss Nellie Wander

IMPORTED WHEAT FOR SEED
Secretary Shaw Recommends Refund
of Duty.

OF DuIy.
WASHINGTON - Secretary Shaw
has sent the following letter to both
houses of congress recommending the
refund of the duties paid on imported
wheat when used for seed:
"This department is in receipt of a
large number of letters Indicating that
a scarcity of suitable wheat for seed
ing purposes exists in several of the
northwestern states. By act approved
January Is, 1903, the secretary of the
treasury was directed to refund the
duty paid on coal for the period of
one year This had the effect of tenn
porarily removing the duty on coal l
recommend a similar law authorizing
the secretary of the treasury to re-
fund the duty paid on wheat actually
used for seed, under rules and regula-
tions prescribed by him. | think it
would be impracticable to allow wheat
intended for seed to be entered free
of duty. Such provision would open
the door to fraud, but refund of duty
on wheat actually used for seed I'M
der appropriate regulations seems to
me to be feasible and as affording a
satisfactory remedy. In view of the de-
STABILITY of getting seed wheat at a
distance from the place where it is
to be own | see no reason why this
provision should be limited as to
time"

MR.. HAYDEN'S VIEWS
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST
TREATMENT FOR PARALYSIS.
Declares That DIR. Williams Pink Pills
Restored the Use of His Limbs When
All other Remedies Failed.

All Other kemedtes falled.
The premonitory symptoms Of paraly-
| sis are: trembling of the hands; sudden
loss of power i'll arms or legs, frequently
affecting one whole side of the body; stag
gering; partial or entire inability to use
the fingers; distortion of the features,
sometimes an uncomfortable quivering
of the chin; severe pains; difficulty in
speech. Frequently the first warning Is
n vague feeling of headache, vertigo and
muscular weakness.
In q recent interview Mr.. w. j. Il.
HAYDEN said: "I truly think that DR..
Williams Pink Pills are a great nedi-
cine for they cured me when physicians
and other remedies had failed to give
me the slightest relief. Too close at
tention to business brought on an attack
of nervousness which finally developed
into paralysis. There were times when
it was impossible for me to move my
hands or to get up from a chair. AT
other times l had partial control of my
limbs, but L was afraid to go far from
the house for fear | might suddenly be
come helpless and have to be carried
home.
"While I was in this miserable con-
dition, [ was stricken with malarial fever
and confined to bed for four months. L
had the best physicians, but while they
relieved my fever, their treatment did
not entirely drive the malaria from my
system, and they did not help my par
alysis i'll the least,
81 was well nigh despairing when a
friend persuaded me to try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. When | had finished one box
| could see results that encouraged me.
My condition kept steadily improving,
and when l had taken seven boxes was
cured of paralysis and the malaria was
completely driven out of my system.
For two years now 1 have enjoyed the
best of health and have attended to bus
mess without any interruption.
Mr.. Hayden's home is at No. 252 West
39th street, New York. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills have cured many similar cases
of paralysis, also locomotor ataxia. They
are sold by all druggists. A treatment
so simple, inexpensive and successful
should be rried by every sufferer from
partial paralysis i'll any OF its stages,

Resnect Your Own Ideas.

On the firm foundation of solid reli-

SENATE-Mockett Of Lancaster
won temporary victory over the
judiciary committee on the 25th in
that the senate voted to place his di-
vorce bill on general file after the
committee had recommended that it be

test, carried motion to have the bill
discussed at once. After an interest
ing debate on the merits of the bill,
Mockett secured the passage of a mo-
ton to make the bill a special order
for tomorrow afternoon. S. F. 8, by
Beghtol, providing that county survey
ors shall act as county engineers, to
pass on bridges and other public work
done for a county was passed, as was

HOUSE-H. R. II, by Casebeer of
the Morrill, and university cash fund
of 100000 from the government was
passed in the house on the 9th, with
the emergency clause. 1t required a
call of the house and lively skirmish-
ing to get the necessary two-thirds,
not because of opposition to the bill,
but small attendance. H. R. 81, by
Douglas, providing bounties for kill
ing wolves, wild cats and coyotes, was
recommended for passage after a
strong appeal by Douglas. H. R. 104,
by Lee of douglas, to require a ply
sician's certificate for the purchase of
cocaine or morphine was recommend
ed for passage as was H. R. so. by
Bartoo, requiring dentists to be
licensed the same as physicians. The
house went into committee of the
whole and recommended for passage:
H. R. 80, by Saddler of Adams, giving
as compensation to soldiers relief
commissions in counties per cent of
the money distributed; H. R. 81, by
Saddler, allowing counties to spend
$50 for the burial of a civil war vet
eran instead of $35, and prohibiting

SENATE-Aside from the debate
on the Mockett divorce law in the
senate and the report of few COM
mittees little business was transact
ed on the 9th. The judiciary commit
tee, which had been instructed to pre-
pare bill defining what property is
exempt from taxation, reported that
a legislative definition of exemptions
would be of no value, the interpre-
tation both of the constitution and
legislative enactments being within
the province of the supreme court The
committee, quoting the constitution,
reports that portions of the section
are self-acting and it is not within
the legislative power to add to or de-
tract therefrom. The following por
ton OF the constitution, in the judg-
ment of the committee, is not self
acting, but finds expression only by
the aid Of legislative enactment: And
such other property as may be used
exclusively for agricultural and horti-
cultural societies, for schools, reli-
poses may be exempt from taxation,
but such exemptions shall be only by
general law Senate file No. II was
reported by the judiciary committee
for indefinite postponement, but upon
the request of Gibson of Douglas it
was again referred to the committee
for further consideration. The bill de-
fines child dependency and provides
relief. 1t was the idea of the commit
tee that it conflicted with the juvenile
court bill. Bills introduced included:
Providing for suspended sentences in
wife desertion cases when offender
gives bonds to provide for mainten-
ance of family Making life insurance
companies deposit securities with the
auditor. Providing punishment for
those who by committing perjury Sc
cure conviction in certain criminal
cases, and abolishing capital punish
ment.

afternoon, and an all night hunt and

has failed to land the much wanted man.
Saturday forenoon Mark Lynch, about
|23 years old, walked into local cloth
ING establishment and purchased a Sc
suit case. He rendered in payment a
check drawn on the Mechanics National
bank in favor Of Mark Lynch, calling
for $40, and signed ostensibly by Ola
Anderson, the well known stone manu-
faetnrer. The check was later deposited
with the Capital State bank and return
cd by that bank TO the clothing dealer.
The latter at once communicated with
Mr.. Anderson, who denied all knowledge
of the check
The MATTER was at once reported to
the police, and this led to further in
vestigation, which developed that there
were three other checks charged to Mr..
Anderson's account of which he knew
nothing. The first was dated Aug. 21,
the others subsequent to that date.
