INDIAN BoRES INTO WEALTH
Quapaw Lifts His Tribe Not Only
Morally and Mentally, but
Financially.

"W. A. Abrams" said E. T. Mccarthy
of Baxter Springs, Mo-, who was stopping
at the Willard, rs the name of one of the
Quapaw Indians, whose reservation is just
over the line in Indian Territory. He,
more than any other man. has assisted In
making his tribe enlightened and indie
pendent Contrary to our notions of the
'untamable' savage, these tribesmen have
adopted most Of the ways of civilization
Abrams was a New York Indian, who
came west and was adopted into the tribe
of the Quapaws about twenty-five years
ago. Since then he has become their
leading man. 1t was through his influence
that, in 1885, the government ratified the
apportionment of the tribal lands to the
individuals. The division gave to each
member of the tribe 24O acres of the finest
prairie lands of the west. 1t is a beauti-
full, rolling surface, and up to two years
ago given entirely to the production of
corn and grain. The tribe receives no
rations from the government, and has
proved that it can take care of itself
These Indians do not live on the land
as might be supposed, but in houses, and
comfortable ones scattered along the
banks OF Spring river. Their farm lands
are leased to white men who are willing
don't like the open prairie. 1t is in their
agreement with the government that they
shall not dispose of their holdings before
1890. 1t is thought they will be wise enough
by that time to cling to their property.
1.-TWO years ago Abrams did his tribe
most remarkable service. He is one of
the few men of the tribe who attends to
his own farm. At that time he was sink
ing a well to accommodate his stock, and
at a depth Of seventy-lve feet he struck
rich vein of lead and zinc ores. This
was the first intimation that such wealth
existed In that section. The vein did not
reach the surface anywhere, and but for
this accidental discovery might never have
been investigated. II turned out to be
fifteen feet In thickness and spreads over
an undetermined area. Enough has been
developed so that I predict this region
will rank with Joplin. Mo-, within few
years.
Abrams holds several sections OF land
I'm the heart of this district and has al
ready leased large portions to mining COM
panies, and it may interest the people Of
Omaha to know that S25OO00 Of Omaha
capital is invested there.
These Indians are lucky, indeed, There
are ten or twelve mining companies on the
ground besides many prospectors, so the
once unbroken cornhelds are now dotted
with mining camps. Here and there the
body of a large mill and shaft house looms
up. Royalties amounting to many thou
sands will pour into the pockets of the
Quapaws every year. The water OF
Spring river will soon be giving 10000 horse
power. conserved in the form of electrical
energy"

Going To Bed Hungry.
Il Is All Wrong and rIan is the Only
Creature That Does It.

The complete emptiness OF the stomach
during sleep adds greatly to the amount
of emaoiation, sleeplessness and general
weakness so often met with. There Is
perpetual change of tissues in the body
sleeping or waking, and the supply Of
nourishment ought TO be somewhat con-
tinuous, and food taken Just before re-
firing adds more tissue than Is destroyed
and increased weight and vigor is the re-
suit Dr. w. T. Cathell says: 'All animals
except man eat before sleep and there is no
reason in Nature why man should form the
exception to the rule"
II people who are thin, nervous and
sleepless would take light lunch of bread
and milk or oatmeal and cream ANA at the
same time take a safe, harmless stomach
remedy like stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in
order to aid the stomach In digesting IL, the
result will be a surprising increase in
weight, strength and general vigoT. The only
drawback has been that thin, nervous. dys-
peptie people cannot digest and assimilate
wholesome food at night or any other
time. For such IL is absolutely necessary
to use stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets because
they will digest the food, no matter how
weak the stomach may be. nourishing the
body and resting the stomach at the same
time.
DIT. Stevenson says; Il depend almost
entirely upon stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
in treating Indigestion, because IL is not a
quack nostrum, and l know Just what
they contain, a combination OF vegetable
essences, pure pepsin. They cure Dyspep-
| STA and stomach troubles, because they
can't help but cure" stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold by druggists everywhere

A we'll known travelling man who visits

druggists inquire OF customers who asked
for a cough medicine whether IT was
wanted for a child or for an adult and IL
for a child they almost invariably recon-
mended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
The reason for this is that they know
there is no danger from It and that it al

NEW WESTCHEsTER TROLLEY.
New Haven Railroad Plans Line From
Port Chester to white Plains.


Port Chester to white Plains.
PoRr CHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 1.-The New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company, which recently purchased the
New York and Stamford trolley system,
is negotiating here for right Of way for
trolley extension from Port Chester to White
Plains. When completed this link will
be the most important Of the entire trolley
system Of Westchester county, as 1t will
shorten the distance between Port Chester.
Rye Beach and the county Seat at White
Plains forty minutes TO an hour. 1t 10 pro-
posed to construct q double track road.
which will guarantee high speed schedule.
One of the chief obstacles to the road
was the opposition Of Whitelaw Reid, whose
large estate. Ophir Farms. abuts on nearly
a mile Of the highways of the town OF Har-
rison. Ambassador Reid held that a trolley
road in front OF his place would depreciate
it's value, and refused to give his consent.
Another large interest which blocked the
way was the estate Of the late Joseph Park
head OF the firm of Park 4 Tilford. II is
said that by the recent purchase OF the
trolley road by the New Haven railroad cor.
poration, these interests have been placated
and the extension made possible.
The extension will be about seven miles
in length and will connect with the 'Huokle-
berry, road at White Plains for Tarrytown
and the Hudson River towns, giving them
quick route to. Rye Beach A large part OF
the route will be over private right OF way.
