IL Is OHiclaiiy Qenled at the Interior
Department that there is any truth In
the report that the Secretary Of the In
terror had made report to the Presi-
dent and to the Department Of Justice
concerning alleged frauds in land deals
in the Indian Territory. The report
stated that the President had prevented
the dismissal OF indictments against GER
tain persons in the Territory who were
charged with having been implicated In
efforts to defraud the Indians, and that
the Secretary Of the Interior had caused
Investigations to be made which would
result in the Indictment OF other per-
sons: including "a prominent Govern
Department officials stated that the re-
port had evidently been based ON an
old proceeding that ihas been disposed
Of. and that no further Investigation is
pending in the case. which is now a
closed incident, SO far as either the
Department OF Justice Or the Interior
Department is concerned.
The things that Mr.. Stillings Public
Printer, Is doing, and the things the
people employed under him are saying
are certainly a plenty, The Public
Printer has issued some very stringent
orders, in true military style. and it
seems that a great many Of the people
up there object to the orders and
the style. Just how they expect
to receive information az to their
duties is not known, except that they
may have an idea that the proper
caper Is for Mr.. Stillings to make
social call and impart his ideas to
them. Mr. Stillings seems to under
stand his business. however. He made
the rounds OF the big Government print
shop the other day, and mildly asked
the foremen and employees to forget
their grievances and obey orders, and
they would get along all right, which
seems to be very good advice. One
thing 10 certain, Mr.. Stiliings intends to
be boss.

manufacturers for alleged violation of
pure TODD laws enacted FIVE years ago
and moi heretofore strictly enforced.
The trip of DR.. Bradbury, who is an
assistant chemist under DR.. Magruder,
consumed about two weeks, during
which period he visited, in order nam
ed South Boston, Danville, Lynchburg,

these places he collected samples, pur-

six contained acid preservstives, one
cochineal dye, and two coal tar dyes, all
injurious to the health. The acid and
dyes are used to improve the appearance
and keeoing qualities of inferior goods,
OF six iellies examined three contained
bepzoic acid and three dye stuff.
All the samples of canned peaches
and apples contained zinc aud tin aud

alton of this lot was not so serious. -Four
cans of asparagus contained zinc and lin

Prenaring for EMERGENCIES.

Active preparations for a real conflct
in China are being carr led on by the
War Department, with view to being
fully prepared for any outbreak which
may occur az a result of the anti-fO reign
agitation throughout the umpire. or
icials of the government, from President
Roosevelt down, are much per nrbed,
and while some are so optimistic rs to
say that there is a good chance that there
will be no trouble, all are actively inter-
es.ed in the work Of preparation which
has been sci on foot and advocate tie
measures which have alrealy and viii be
taken. Just now President Roosevelt
and his advisers are contemplating the
sending of another regiment OF infantry
to the Philippines. The Chinese out
look caused The administration TO
strengthen the force ir the Philippines
by the dditi)n of The FIRST and Second
regiments Of infantry and the Eighth
and Thirteenth batteries of field artillery.
These troops are now Ell route to the
Philippines. When the order was issued
directing them to go tn the Philippines
the government had China in mind, and
at that time President Roosevelt advised
that another regiment be sent. This ac-
iion, however, was not taken a. that
time. In the meantime, trO1hle has
been experienced with Congress in get
ting funds for the transportation and
maintenance OF additional lroJDs IN the
Philippines. 1.-THE War Department can
figure out some way of proyid ng for
another regiment Of Infantry in the is
lands, one will BE- sent. France is also
preparing Ia send troops-to China.

A Marriage Tangle.

An extraordinary marriage tangle
came before the Sheffield, England,
magistrates Friday when Vernon Peace,
a man about 40 years OF age, was charged
with bigamy.
Peace was alleged to have married bis
aunt. Mrs. Jean Ellis, a widow, II
wears ago. Subsequently he discovered
that this marriage was illegal, and re-
markabe sequel ensued. 1t was stated
that Peace was told by friend that 'lf
he contracted marriage with scme other
person. and did not live with her, and,
further, did not live with the woman he
called bis wife for space OF h7e years,
he would be able 10 marry again.
Peace accepted this extraordinary YER
sion of the law, and married his wife's
daughter, Elmira Ellis. Although the
three continued TO live in the same
house Peace and the daughter never
lived together as man and wife. In
December last he a gain married woman
named Ada Salmon, who, while know
ing of the first marriage with the aunt,
knew nothing of that with the daughter.
1t is on the assumption that the lawful
wife of Peace is Elmira Ellis, his aunts
daughter, that the present proceedings
have been initiated.
Elmira Ellis was called as a witness,
and declared that she did not know
whether she was Peace's wife or not.
81 went through the ceremony with
him." she added, "because he said that
in so many years should be free and
could marry again"
Peace was committed foT trial.

curious chain of circumstances has
led to the finding by John A. Dahler, OF
his sweetheart, after she had been lost
TO him for seven years. Dabler, who is
27 years old, was, in 1899, foreman IN
the factory of August Won Reed, rich

MANY. Won Reeds beautiful young
daughter fell in love with the young
man. who had been allowed to make his
home in her fsther's mansion. When
Won Reed discovered his daughters
heart secret he discharged young Dahler
and sent the girl to a convent. Dahler
came to the United States and went into
The oyster business in the South. Latsr
he went to Elizabeth City, n. O., where
IN time he became planter and amassed
a { rtune OF half million. The girl in
the meantime fed from the convent aud
sought her sweetheart in America, but
could obtain no clue to his whereabouts.
On Sunday Dahler, who had gone to
Jersey City to visit friends, went skating
on a pond on Sea View avenue. A
graceful girl who was skating in advance
OF him suddenly disappeared. She had
fallen into an air-hole in the ice. Call

feet. Daher went head foremost into the
air-hole, and presently brought the girl
to the surface. 1t was his sweetheart.
"My darling Alice, is it youY' ex-
claimed Dahler. "Have found you at
last John?" sobDed the girl. YSster-
day the reunited couple left for Eliza
