METHODS OF CHINESE DOCTORS.
Prescriptions of Many Ingredients
Treatment by Massage.

Chinese physicians of much repute
never visit afoot but must be carried to
the patient on horse, mule or jack, or
in a carriage. At the patients residence
the doctor first rests awhile, and in the
meantime is served with liquors and con-
fections and often with q formal meal
He usually collects no fee, but receives
a percentage of the fees of the apothe-
cary, if he does not himself have an
apothecary shop. In all cases of cure,
however, he is rewarded with rich pres
ents, whose value depends on the rapid
ty and completeness of the relief. Apoth-
ecary shops exist in every village of any
size.
Prescriptions always consist of several
drugs, as high as twenty ingredients be-
ing frequently the case. They are put
up in pill shape or given in their natural
condition and boiled together by rela-
tives. This mess, usually of bitter taste
land whose odor generally horrifes for
eignerS) is always administered hot and
usually in big cupfuls.
A Chinese medicine book, dating bacl,
to the Wing dynasty Q56S-1644) contains
no less than %, 739 receipts. Materials
of the Meteria Medica Sinensis consists
of vegetables. minerals and articles be-
longing to the animal kingdom, such, for
instance, as the dragons teeth, cent?
pedes, scorpions, Spanish flies, reaches,
beetles, tadpoles, etc.
Chinese doctors are, however, not con-
tent with medicine alone. They are
adopts in massage, especially of the head
and of the stomach and bowels. When
light massage does not work cure or
give relief Gin pains of the stomach, for
instance), the doctor will kneeI on the
stomach and rub and knead with his
knees and hands the painful part, and
this he will keep up until the patient is
relieved Tor says he ISL
Another of his remedies is acu-punct-
ure, or pIunging a needle into various
parts of the body-a trea tment that is
said to be very effectual in many COM
plants, and is highly regarded.-Reyn-

RAIN-IN-THE-FACE
NOT CUSTER'S SLAYER
Superior Man Declares He Can Prove
Dead Indian Innocent-Story
Worried Old Chief

SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 25.-[ Spe-
cial. News comes from Grand River,
n. D., of the death there Monday of
that celebrated old Sioux warrior, Rain
in-the-Face, who was one of the leaders
in the Custer Massacre. He was 63
years of age, and had been an Indian
policeman for many years. The famous
Sioux and David +. Barry of Superior
were great friends, the latter having
helped to get the Indian his police APP
pointment at Standing Rock.
Mr.. Barry had known Rain-in-the-
Face since 1879 or 1876, and the grim
red man liked much the frontier photog-
rapher in the early days. Among the
many famous men, both red and white,
that Mr.. Barry came to know there, he
has always admired Rain-in -the-Face.
The Indian called the Superior man, i'll
the Sioux tongue, the Little Shadow
Catcher"
II was sorry to hear of the death of
Rain-in-the-Face," said Mr. Barry last
evening. "He was great Indian, and
he has been grossly maHgned III some re,
sIects. 1t has been so widely published
that it is hardly possible to contradict 1t
now, that Rain-in-the-Face killed Gus
ter and then cut his heart out. l investl-
gated that story, and did 1t early, and
found that it was not true. Raln-ln-the-
Face has often talked with me about
that report. 1t has worried him that the
public should accept it as true.
''Now that he is dead we may look for
a recurrence of the libel on the old chief;
He was a great warrior and a typical
Sioux. He has killed many white men
no doubt, but that story of his cutting
Capt. George Clusters heart out should
not be allowed to go undlsputed. Ihere
are several men living who are ready
to prove what | say"

FOND DU LAC, Wis, Sept. %
Especial. IA second effort to break the

SACRED STONE IS SAVED
Relic Of Oneida Indians Balmy
Days Still at Utica, N. Y.
NAMED AFTER OVAL ROCK
Now Identity of Tribe Is Nearly Lost
Money for Wisconsin Members At
tracts Sharp White Dealers.

KAUKAUNA, Wis, Sept. 25.-[Spe-
cial. Recently the Oneidas have been
enjoying what can be bought by each
for $10O-money received from the gov
eminent as their share in the sale of
Kansas Indian lands. The stories of
how the white man is trying to part
them from their coin are many. Horses
worth $40 to $50 are brought to the
reservation and sold for a good figure
The reservation has been flooded with
machinery and northumberland a wee
bit to drink.
Sacred Stone Left Behind.
Just within the gates of Forest Hill
cemetery at Utica, n. T., the visitor sees
curious oval stone resting upon a grass
plot A century ago Oneida county was
the reservation of the powerful tribe Of
Oneida Indians, the second nation in the
confederation of the Iroquois.
The first settlement of the Oneidas, so
their history runs, was near the lake
which bears their name, q century before
Columbus steered his ships into western
seas. 1t was there they found the stone
and adopted it as their sacriicial altar.
"Onia" is the dialect word for stone and
from it comes Oneida" the tribal name,
children of the stone"
Children of the Stone Increase.
AS the tribe increased in numbers,
veneration of the monolith grew until
it became the indispensable shrine of
the Oneidas. When the nation removed
from the region of the lake to their en-
campment, where now is the town of
Stockbridge. the rock, according to
their legend, went before them without
the assistance of human hands, and de
posted itself in the center of a butter
nut grove overlooking a wide and fer
tile valley.
In this wood it remained until the in
f1uX of the white settlers and the march
of civilization dispersed the tribe. In
1S49. when the Forest Hill cemetery at
Utica was laid out, the trustees learned
that james Gregg of Stockbridge, on
whose farm the stone rested, was de-
sirous that it should be removed to
some other public enclosure. It's removal
was thereupon secured.
Valedictory Is Sung.
at the dedication of the cemetery the
remnants of the once powerful nation
and handful of Onondagas were pres
ent. Their head chief, Ononeogon
made an address which was the vale
dictory of the Oneidas. The little group
of Indians then sang their national
songs around the relic and surrendered
it to the care of their white brethren.
Today the tribe has completely lost its
identity.

CLIMATE IN MANCHURLA.
1t Plays a Prominent Part in the
Fortunes of War.

The climate of Manchuria plays an
important role in the war between
Russia and Japan. Up to the present
we have had but little precise informa-
ton upon this point. M. J. Ross has
lately given the Scientific American in
dications as to the climate of that re-
gion and the character of the different
seasons. He states that in the months
of March and April there are strong
southwest winds which bring, with
them heat and moisture. At the end
of March the winter season ends. The
undersOil is still frozen at this time,
but the ground can be worked for agri-
culture. April appears to be the only
month of spring. At the end of this
month the sowing of wheat commences.
Summer begins in May, and at the end
of June or the beginning of July the
wheat is cut. Up to the end of June
rain is rare and the sky is generally
clear, while cloudy weather is an ex-
ception. The heat reaches a maximum
at the end of July and first part of
August Afterward come heavy rains
or storms. 1t often rains for several
days and nights without stopping. The
soil is completely saturated and inun-
dations are frequent.
September is the harvest month,
while October gives some of the finest
weather of the year. At this time the
climate is agreeable during the day and
the sky is clear, with bracing air, while
vegetation is at its height. At the end
of the month the first night frosts be-
gin to appear, and in November the
cold weather commences and keeps up
until March. At Mukden the temper
ature sometimes reaches a very low de-
gree. During the day, however, the
cold is not excessive, and sometimes in
the middle of the winter the suns rays
become very warm, on account of the
southerly position of that locality. The
maximum temperature of summer is
1904 deg. F. About ten months of the
year are dry for the most part, and the
excessive wet season only occurs dur
ing a month or so. At Niuchwang, on
the north shore of the gulf of Lao
tung, the mean winter temperature is
l6 deg. F., and the mean fo: the sum-
mer, 74.S deg. The mean annual tenn
perature is Al deg. F. The Russian
maritime provinces have a very low
mean annual temperature. At Vladiv-
ostock the average for the winter is
1912 deg. F., and for the summer it is
only 39.9 deg. F.

TO BUILD A NEW FORTUNE.
NEARLY EIGHTY YEARS OLD.
FORMER SENATOR STEWART
BEGINS LIFE ANEW.
axes his Young Bride to Gold Camps
ofNevada and Rears Comfortable
Home-StiI1 feels the Wine of Youth

At the age of seventy-eight, after
having seen two generations rise and
pass away; former Governor of Ne
vada, mine owner of great wealth,
a United States Senator for eighteen
years, William M. Stewart for long
known as the Santa Claus" of the
Senate. is starting life anew amid the
gold fields of Nevada.
With the virility of youth this robust
and hearty old-timer, says a dispatch
from Rhyolite, New, has, with his
young bride started in to make another
million.
Fortune has played prankes with
Senator Stewart; at one time he had
been one of the rich men of that mil
lionaires' club the Senate, owning one
of the most magnificent private houses
in Washington. In the earlier days he
extracted huge fees from the law suits
Amador ledger., 1905-10-13

of western mines; at another time he
has been down on his uppers; again he
has been engaged in a big dairying pro-
Ject in Virginia; at other times he has
dabbled again in Western mines and
has run an Eastern mule farm.
Retiring from the Senate last spring,
he was again once more a poor man,
and with his advanced years it was
presumed by the unknOwning ones he
would sink into obscurity but like
some others, bill Stewart has never
known when he was down and out,
and he Immediately started forth a.
gain in the battle of life with the
purpose to again rebuild his fortunes.
The chances are more than even that
he will although he is nearly four
score years.
The Senator expects to reap a pro-
fitable harvest from the various legal
matters arising out of the vast new
gold fields which have been discovered
in Nevada. He is an expert on min
ming law and has at least the preced-
ent established of having received in
former years fortune as a single fee.
Not Crushed by Failure.
2 Whatever may be said about the
Senator politically, his bitterest
enemies will not deny that the physi-
cal makeup of the man is marvellous
to the last degree and that his courage
is splendid. He is of the type that

Goth Century Empire Building.

Great as is the power of war in the
building of an empire-and the jap
anese-Russian war will probably make
a great nation of Japan-there is an
even greater force at work in the
world that will in the end decide the
fates of peoples. This is. the power of
one nation to absorb the individuals
rather than to wipe out or swallow
another government The Twentieth
Century will probably witness the
greatest Capitalization of peoples
under vast empires, that the world
has seen since the days of
Roman greatness. When the cen
tury ends, the outlook is that there
will be a half dozen first nations,
created by assimilation instead of war.
Japan will be one, with its influence
felt throughout Eastern Asia, Russia
will, of course, advance, Germany will
probably have absorbed Austria. The
Latin races of Southern Europe may
have combined for self-protection.
England will go on empire building,
and the United States will have
spread over the continent, and maybe
two continents, besides having alb
sorbed vast numbers of peoples from
all countries Of the earth.
