c%HEROKEES AS
These Indians Now Furnish Twice as
Many Teachers as All
Other Tribes.

Muskogee, /. There are to-day
twice as many school-teachers of
Cherokee blood who are teaching
schools as there are teachers of all the
remaining IS Indian tribes in the
United States. This remarkable fact
was found in a comparison of the last
report of the commissioner of Indian
affairs and the reports of the super
visor of schools for the Cherokee ma
ton.
1t is a great showing for the Chero-
KEGS, and shows what can be done in a
few years along educational lines,
when there is a definite object in view.
Five years ago the Cherokee school
authorities and the government Off
Gals began training the Cherokee
youths as teachers. The courses in the
Cherokee national schools were ad-
justed to that end. The students were
impressed with the idea that school
teaching is an honorable profession.
They were not graduates from the
seminaries until they were fully
equipped for teaching. They were ap-
pointed t places as oon as they had
finished their courses in the Cherokee
schools, and they take to teaching
readily.
There are now ITS Cherokee teachers
employed in Indian territory. The
Cherokee nation has 243 schools.

WAY MAcKAY WAS ABANpoNED.

It was definitely announced in
New York July 9th that the
White Knob Copper & Develop
ment company which has for the
past four years been developing
a large copper property at Mac
kay, Idaho, has secured control
of the Balaklala copper mine in
Shasta county, California, near
Copley. The deal is the result
of negotiations that have been
pending for several months and
is due to the fact that develop
ment on the company's proper
ties at Mackay are such as to
render the operation of those
mines on a large scale almost
impossible. These mines have
been shut down and the entire
equipment transported or will be
transported to California. Fail
ure to tap, through the main
working tunnel, the ore bodies
which it was believed would be
found at depth, hastened the
present move of the management
to abandon the property.

Wanted TO Die.

Frank Caprilla, born in Italy,
and a young man of probably 80
years of age, attempted suicide
at Clayton on Thursday after
noon, July 20th, 1905, at about
o'clock, cutting his throat with
pocket-knife.
On the morning of this day
Caprilla boarded the stage at
Challis with the intention of GO
ing to Robinson Bar where he
said that he had work. After
partaking of dinner at Clayton
he Immediately left the hotel and
went over to the stage stable,
and while the driver was en-
gagged in hitching up the team,
Caprilla drew knife from his
pocket cutting his own throat,
plunging the knife on the left
side and drew the sharp blade
across his throat nearly severing
the juglar vein. He was bleeding
profusely. After performing the
act he started to run but ran but
a short distance before he fell.
Help soon arrived and did all
they could to save his life. He
had $155 in money when in Chal-
lis the night before, and gave it
to Sheriff Elder to keep for him
during the night, but the sheriff
gave the money back to him the
next morning before Caprilla
took his departure.
1t is thought Caprilla was at
the time of committing the rash
act demented and respondent,
and no other cause is given. He
was very little known here, as
he had oeen in town only day
or so. He is said to be sober
and Industrious young man.
At last reports he was getting
along nicely.

woMAk's HONOR.

A beautiful and fragrant flow
er is coaxed into bloom by the
genial sunshine of tropical coun-
tries. It is called camelia, and
it is so sensitive and tender that
if it be touched with but a breath
no power on earth can prevent
the blight or wipe away the stain.
Such a flower is the good name
of a woman.
One breath of suspicion; one
word of slander, will leave it
marred and bruised forever.
Men and women are not suffi-
ciently mindful of this fact. Too
often trifles light as air are dis
torted by the frivolous or the
base or the ungentle, into the
magnitude of damning facts.
Too often lies born in the
hearts of scoundrels and circula-
ted by lips of fools have whis-
pered regulations to death. Once
started, they travel like winged
vampires on their mission of in
fanny, gathering filth as they
pass from knavish lip to foolish
ear and out again.
Thus common gossip takes up
the work of spreading the com
pose upon the weeds until they
choke down the fairest flower.
Gossip is the black witch of
falsehood, the courier of bad
news, the handmaiden of sland-
er. 1t whispers evil into the ear
of the world. 1t is dumb to utter
good, but with thousand
tongues it spreads the base, the
vile and the impure. 1t repeats
nothing that is not bad, it for
gets every thing that is good.
1t is snake in the grass, q.
filthy reptile that travels with
its belly to the ground, leaving
its trail of slime behind. 1t can
damn with faint praise, and with
out sneering teach the rest TO
sneer. 1t is the master of in
nuendo. 1t can circulate false
hood with knowing winks and
with a hundred arts of deception
convey the lie it dares not utter.
This is gossip-and it is more
1t is q hGlnan halpie who with
Insulated appetite leaves it's
feast on fostering reputation ia
the charnel house of its lying
tongue-stabbed reputation Of
