FOR A FEAST
Nevada Indians Are
Celebrating New
Peace Era.

RENO, Aug. H-E1even hundred Wa
shoe and Piute Indians, or as many Of
them asxcould navigate to the great
council camp, gathered near Sparks to-
night and partook of the great feast of
peace. The chief item on the bill Of fare
was dog meat. More than one hundred
dogs, gathered from different Indian
camps throughout the State, were brought
to Sparks when the Indians arrived. Yes
terday they were killed, skinned and
dressed and this afternoon most of them
were thrown into piies of hot Goals and
roasted. The meat when cooked was
treated with herbs and spices gathered
in the hills and, according to the Indians,
greatly enjoyed.
Considerable care Is being exercised by
the county officials, as well as the police
force at Sparks, in handling the immense
crowd. Hundreds of the Indians have se-
cured liquor and are fighting drunk. The
alfalfa fields around the. big camp are
filled with Indians stretched out upon the
ground, too intoxicated to walk. Others
are staggering about the streets and
roads. Some are in an ugly mood and
when in this condition it does not require
much to start trouble. The mystery is
where they secured their supply of fire.

MIGHT CO BACK
As A SPECIAL
COMMISSIONER
Boycott May Result in
Conger's Return
to China.

OYSTER BAY, Aug 17.-As a result
of to-day's conference with the Presi-
dent at Sycamore Hill, Edwin H. Con-
ger, ambassador to Mexico and former
Minister to China, will probably re-
turn to China as special commits
sioner to solve the serious problem
which the boycott and Hankow rail-
road concession has created.
This appointment of a special COM
missioner may be taken as an answer
to important dispatches recently re-
ceived from Minister Rockhill and not
made public. There is not the slight
est doubt that the administration feels
that not only Chinese officials, but Jap
ing anti-American conditions that have
suddenly arisen.
For the first time in history Chinese
of different provinces are acting to-
gether. Japan has a vital interest in
the Canton .HIankow Railway. She
holds a concession for q railway from
Swatow to a point in the interior,
which will be extended to meet the
Canton Hanlxow Railway when that
road passes out of American hands.
Conger would not disclose his plans
after his visit to the President, and
would neither deny nor confirm the
turn to Peking. In reply to a question
as to whether he believed Japan was
behind the offer of s7,000,000 to ]. P.
Morgan for the Hankow concession he
answered.: Il don't know, though !
supposed they needed their millions at
home Just now.
Conger expressed belief tl.at the sale
of the Hankow railway would be un-
questionably a fatal setback.

MAJOR DEPICTS
HIMSELF As A
JEALOUS MAN
Taggart Weeps as His
Letters Are Read
in Court.
Special dispatch to tn. Can.

WOOSTER, Aug. 1.-THE scene In
the Taggart divorce case to-day was
changed from the bitterness that has
prevailed before. The afternoon was taken
up with the reading of the letters that
Major Taggart wrote to his wife while
he was on the road to recovery. Dur
ing his cross-examination Judge Smys-
er had offered parts of letters as evi-
dence, but the letters were turned over
to Taggart's attorneys after a hard bat
tie and this afternoon they were read
in their entirety in the courtroom.
In answer to questions after they had
been read Major Taggart's voice was
-visibly affected and his eyes filled with
tears several times. Mrs. Taggart
toyed with her parasol and looked more
serious and concerned than at any
time during the trial.
The first letter was a most pathetic
appeal to his wife to interfere in his
behalf with Colonel Miner.
Tell Colonel Miner for Gods sake to
let poor Tag out" 1T said.
This followed an admission that
liquor was the cause of his troubles.
Where were you when you wrote
this?" said Sterling.
"In the hospital prison"
why were you confined there?'
ION the first of July after Colonel
Miner and Hoff had been to my house
the information that / received was
that Mrs. Taggart had told Colonel
Miner that had put her out on the
street as naked as the day she was
born. 1 understood a court-martial
would be based on that statement when
that letter was written"
Another letter said:
Mother, mother. can all these trou-
bles be true or am 1 only asleep?
Please tell me why you would drive
me to insanity when I was only in
sanely jealous? Don't you remember
that Sunday when you came upstairs
The San Francisco call., 1905-08-18

and promised me you would not pro-
woke me any more? II I could only
see you for a moment how happy I
would be- May God bless you every
hour of your life and may he make
me a better man. May God bless you
and may there be sweet hereafter.
where we can live and love as we used
to and never say good-by-
II wrote this on the 9Th of July when
the children came to see me and bid me
good-by."
up to that time what was your
expectations and desire about your
wife? asked Sterling.
sT had no intention OF asking for
divorce. expected that my wife, fam
lily and myself would live together"
In another series of letters read after
he had left Fort Leavenworth while he
was still very i'll there is a strong tone
OF apology and humiliation. He pleads
for a renewal of the family relations
and wants his wife to join him or give
her permission for him to come to her.

GET-RICH-QUICK FIRM
SELLS 'LOVE CANDY"
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Most unique
of al rnoney-making schemes which have
been recently excluded from the use of
the mails is the Love Candy" enterprise
Of the firm of Baker q Smith of Detroit,
Mich, against which a fraud order was
issued By the Postofice Department to-
day. Lee L. Baker and Henry G. Smith,
who are twenty and twenty-five years
old respectively. succeeded in working up
q considerable clientele of youths who
loved but were not loved in return 1t
seems that a letter which fell into the
hands Of the postal authorities caused
a brisk demand for their confectionery.
The letter contained some details OF
the potency of the love candy. A post
office inspector had an interview with the
youthful members Of the firm. He put
them through the third degree. and dur
ing the ordeal they admitted that <'no
especial formula was required for the
manufacture Of the love candy.

now and then the stress of some
great event brushes away like chaff
the surrounding layers and the germ
OF principle blossoms forth into glor-
ions flower.
| In the days Of the civil war mems
hearts We're stirred as perhaps never
before. When the news came that
Fort Sumpter had fallen, when the
nations flag had been trailed In the
dust, when the nations integrity was
threatened, hundreds Of thousands or
defenders FASTENED to brush the dust
from the old flag and offer their
iives Tor its preservation. North and
south men threw all their hopes and
ambitions 70 the winds, left their fam.
lies, gave up fortunes and faced
death and disease and q thousand
perils and dangers actuated Nv high
principal alone.
II was principal that led more than
2,ooo,ooo northern men to don the blue
and II was the same noble principle
that actuated $4,000 men in southern
prisons TO brave death rather than
take the oath OF allegiance to the con.
1ederacy. And death was the pen.
atty that the majority paid for their
loyalty, for twothirds Of the number
either died in prison or from the
effects Of the prison life before they
reached their homes.
The speaker drew an eloquent pic
ture OF the work the Veterans Of the
civil war had done for their country.
he drew glowing picture of the uni
ted country today with Its colossal
enterprise, its leadership in manu-
factures, and wealth and developed
resources and powers, Its proud posi.
ton among the nations Of the earth,
Its union Of sentiment. the patriotism
OF the people, and ali this had been
made possible by the men who offered
their lives on the altar of their coun-
try, two score years ago. In view OF
these facts the speaker said In i'm.

he said, they were brave and gallant

the speaker urged, let us not forget
that the logic Of the time that has
