Indian Survivors.

Like the Moorish King Abu Abb
dallah, looking mournfully back
ward at his lost Granada, Geronimo
from Fort Sill, gazes westward
across prairies and hills to the Ari-
IONA of his great days which he will
not see again. Up at Pine Ridge
agency the Sioux nonogenarian Red
Cloud, the most famous of living In
dian warriors, who could tell as many
marvels as Aeneas told to Dido, re-
fuses to accept the Governments Of
fer Of an allotment OF land, and goes
down like Dickens Steerforth in the
storm at Yarmouth, waving his hand
defantly in the face of destiny. Most
of Hercules labors looked light COM
pared with the task which the late
Henry L. Dawes undertook when he
and the Commission created under
the law of 1898 started out to in
duce the Choctaws, the Greeks, and
their neighbors, to allot their lands
to their members as individuals, to
abolish their tribal government, and
to merge themselves in the mass OF
the country's citizenship. That work
has been grandly finished. The last
councils Of the Five Tribes have been
held. The epic OF the American In
dian has closed.--C. III. Harvey, in

FOUR HANGED, FIVE FLOGGED.
Egyptians Pay Penalty For Murder Of
British Army Captain.

Cairo, Egypt.-As a result of the
sentences imposed by the court which
recently tried the natives concerned
in the attack on June 13 on a party
of British officers who were pigeon
shooting at the village of Demshawai,
near Tantah, four natives were
hanged at Demshawai and five were
flogged.
The prisoners, in carts, left Shibin-
elkom guarded by infantry, the gal
lows and whipping post following.
When the cavalcade arrived at Dem
shawai Captain Machell, adviser to
the Minister of the Interior, selected
a spot close to the road and roped in
a space measuring sixty by thirty
yards, in the centre of which the gal
lows and whipping post were erected.
One of the prisoners was hanged and
the body was left hanging while two
of the condemned natives were
whipped. Then another man was
hanged and two o were whipped,
and then in turns two more men
were hanged and the fifth man was
whipped, each of these receiving fifty
lashes with the cat.
A guard of soldiers surrounded the
enclosure and hundreds of natives
stood in a wide circle 200 yards dis
tant. The women walled dismally.
All of the condemned men were calm,
but the blows of the cat caused
groans and cries.

AMERICAN TRAVELLERS
KILLED IN ENGLAND
Train Wrecked at Salisbury by
Jumping Dangerous Curve.
DEADLIEST ACCIDENT RECORDED
BY Staying On the Steamer Mayo,
Mcclellan, of New York, Was
Saved With Other Passengers by
That Decision.

acknowledgements who arrived
at Plymouth on the American Line
steamer New York, which left New
York on June 20, and started for
London on a steamer train were the
victims OF n of the most deadly
disasters in English railway history
at Salisbury, when the locomotive
jumped the rails and dashed first into
a milk train on a siding and then
against the Orders of a bridge. The
whole train was demolished.
Out of forty-two passengers twen-
ty-three were killed and nine injured.
Four railway employees are among the
dead.
Mayor George B. Mcclellan, of
New York, who, with his wife, was
a passenger, continued the voyage to
Southampton and landing there ar
rived in London safely. Mrs. Nc
Clellan continued on from Cherbourg
for Paris.
The New York, with a full passen-
ger list, had had a slow voyage.
A majority of the passengers de-
cided, when it became evident that
the l~ateness of the steamers arrival
would ~necessitate a long night Jour-
ney, to stick to the ship and make a
more comfortable daylight trip from
Southampton. Each passenger in
making this apparently unimportant
choice literally decided the question
of life or death.
Mayor Mcclellan was one of the
last to choose the Southampton route.
He had decided to go to London by
the quickest way, and it was only at
The last moment that he yielded to
The persuasion of his wife to remain
with her.

CLEVER DOCTOR
Cured q 20 Years Trouble Without
Any Medicine.

A wise Indiana physician cured 20
years stomach disease without any
medicine, as his patient tells:
81 had stomach trouble for 20
years, tried allopathic medicines,
patent medicines and all the simple
remedies suggested by my friends,
but grew worse all the time.
FINALLY a doctor who is the most
prominent physician in this part of
the State told me medicine would do
me no good only irritating my stom-
ach and making it wGrse-that l
must look to diet and quit drinking
coffee.
II cried out in alarm, Quit drink
ing coffee!' why, What will l drink?'
"'Try Postum said the doctor; Il
drink it and you will like it when 1t
is made according to directions, with
cream, for it is delicious and has
none of the bad effects coffee has"
"Well that was two years ago, and
I am still drinking Postum. NY
stomach is right again and l know
Doctor hit the nail on the head when
he decided coffee was the cause of
all my trouble. / only wish l had quit
it years ago and drank Postum in its
place." Name given by Postum Co..
Battle Creek, Mich.
Never too late to mend. Ten DAYS
trial of Postum in place of coffee
works wonders. There's a reason.

book. "The Road to MELVILLE"

"Before l wrote to you, telling you how I
felt, l had doctored for over two years steady
and spent lots of money On medicines besides,
but it all failed to help me. My monAly De.
RODS had ceased and | suffered much pain,
with fainting spells, headache, backache and
~bearing-down pains, and l was so weak I
could hardly keep around. AS a last resort
/ decided to write you and try Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and l am so
thankful that l did, for after following your
instructions, which you sent me free Of all
charge, l became regular and in perfect
health. Had it not been for you ! would be
In my grave to-day.
az sincerely trust that this letter may lead
every suffering woman in the country to
write you for help as did"
When women are troubled with ir-
regular or painful periods, weakness,
displacemento or liberation of an organ,
that bearing-down feeling, infiamma-
ton, backache, f1atulence, general de-
bility, indigestion or nervous prostra-
ton, they should remember there is
one tried and true remedy. Lydia E.
Pinkham' S Vegetable Compound at once
removes such troubles.
No other female medicine inthe world
has received such widespread and I'M
qualified endorsement. Refuse all sub
stitutes.
For 25 years Mrs. Pinkham, daughter
in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham, has under
her direction, and since her decease,
been advising sick women free Of
charge. Address, Lynn, Mess.
