Last of Indians.

When on March 4, 1906, the tribal
organization of the Cherokees, Choc-
taws, Greeks, Chiokasaws and Semin-
oles is dissolved, and their members
diffused in the mass of the countIy's
citizenship, the final chapter in the
Indian s annals as distinct race will
have heen written, says G. M. Harvey,
in Atlantic Monthly. These are very
far from comprising all the red men
in the country. They number little
over Sc, 0O0, while the total Indian
population of tho United States, ex-
elusive of Alaska, is about 270, 900.
They do not even include the entire
Indian Inhabitants of their own To-
cality, the Indian Territory. In the
territory IS mol theast corner there are
fragments of the Peorlas, Shawnees,
Quapaws, Wyandottes, Senecas, Mo-
docs and Ottawas, numbering in all
about 1900.
Numerically, however, the five civ
ilized tribes are more important than
any other aggregation of red men.
They are of immeasurably greater
consequence socially than all the rest
of the Indians in the United States
put together. The middle term of the
designation given to them here means
Just what it says. They are civilized
Indians. In each tribe for itself, for
two generations, they have been con-
Quoting their own affairs in their own
way. They have their own legisla-
lures, executives and courts. Also
their own churches and school system.
Subject to the requirement that they
must keep within the limitations of
the United States and must recognize
the United States government para
mount authority. they have been su
preme in their own domain.
This ascendancy ends with the dis
solution of the tribal governments on
March 4, 1906. United States laws will
then be Immediately extended over
the Indian territory, the terms Semi
mole, Cherokee, Choctaw and the rest
of them will vanish, and their bearers
will gain the same privileges and be
subject to the same responsi bilities as
their white neighboTs in Oklahoma
and the rest Of the territories. Very
soon after that date they will probab-
ly, jointly with Oklahoma, enter on
the larger privileges and penalties OF
statehood.

The appropriation bills are nearing
completion, but the house persistent
ly stuck to its resolution not to
sanction the new S1O,O0O,0OO battle

tion on which to proceed. And the
matter has been allowed to go over
till next year, when the secretary
of the navy will present detailed
plans for the great fighting machine.

Last Saturday the house called up
the report of the committee declaring
E. &. Wood not entitled to memb ber-
ship in the house of representatives
in the fifty ninth congress from the
twelfth district of Missouri, and that
Harry M. Coudrey was elected to said
mem bership. The report was unani-
mously adopted, and Coudrey was
called to the bar of the house and
sworn in.
Mr. Wood few years ago had short
but meteoric career in this county.
He practiced law at Angels, and forced
himself upon the republican conven-
tion as candidate for district attor-
ney in 1898, and materially assisted
in the Generalization of the party
which took place that year. Soon
after his defeat he left Angels, and
next We heard OF him he was posing
s democratic candidate for congress
in one of the most corrupt districts
of st. Louis, Missouri. An investiga-
tion as to the methods of his elec-
tion by congress has resulted in his
being unseated. Prospect.
The ousted congressman is native
of California, and brother of H. ".
Wood, clerk of the appellate court
of this district, and the owner of the

Last Sunday afternoon a couple of
Indians, John Powell and Oscar
Sprian, known as Oscar Miller, got
into Tow at the China vegetable gar
den. during the progress of which
Sprlan was cut in the back with a |
knife. Both Indians had evidently
been drinking. The knife wound was
superficial, the blade having struck a
lib under the right shoulder blade,
infilctlng an incised wound little |
less than hIee-tourths of an inch |
long. The Indian, John Powell, who |
is charged with doing the cutting, had |
a jug partly filled with beer, which it
is claimed the old Chinaman, Lock |
Tai. bought for him at the brewery. |
Constable Kelly was at once notified |
and went to the scene of the row, but |
when he got there the fight was over.
He placed John Powell under arrest |
and took him to the calaboose. Powell |
had his preliminary hearing before
Justice McCauley Tuesday, and was
bound over to answer before the su-

being able to give bonds, constable
Kelly took him to the county Jail

LITTLE HINTS.

A tulle ruche and a tight little
wreath of roses trim the mushroom
hat.
Amethyst is a color that is seen
more frequently as the season ad-
vances.
There is a new net inlet with horizon
tai stripes of lace, which makes lovely
evening gowns.
The luxurious evening coat is lined
throughout with rl1Hes-as MARIAN -Eer
lenciennes.
Blonses of satiny leather in white
or co.ors are the modish shirt waists
for motoring or driving.
When one wishes to appear particu.
larly well, the becoming picture hat
remains the favorite.
Many women have their gowns made
up with two skirts, one short and Sc
we're. the other long and trimmed.
Belts of gold braid are fetching and
will brighten up the dark shirt-waist
suit to be so much worn this winter.
Such a pretty opera bag for the
woman in black is of black Irish
crochet w silk. The mounting is
gun metal.
The streets will be a gay riot Of
color this winter if all the rainbow
hued suits one sees in the shops are to
find purchasers.
In ms shop is shown a gown with
little creatures like ermine sprawled
all over it, 1t would make a lovely
woman look like an awful barbarian.
Velvet is quite the thing for a street
gov this winter. The tailored gown
of black velvet, made severely and
worn with handsome furs, is first
choice.
Children's coats are charmingly
tricked on with a bit of fur at collar
and wrists. Angora, ~caracul, ermine
and Persian lamb are all used for
this. White goatskin makes delight
ful entire coats for the youngsters. 1t
looks like c~aracul, but is much less
expensive and cleans easily.-Chicago

PUBLIC OPINION.

Editor EVENING NEWS:
] am somewhat surprised at some
of the newspaper talk that has gone
The rounds Of this city within the last
few DAYS relative to the excise board.
Permit me the liberty to say a few
words in their defence.
While ] do not approve Of everv-
thing that has been done by the said
board, J do not see why they should
be blamed for everything that does
not just suit some people who have
some strings to pull
The duties Of the excise board are
to act upon all applications when
properly presented, either to grant
the application or to refuse it.
If a l~icensee should happen to sell
his place and the buyer continue SELL
ing without first having transferred
the license, would not the buy,
selling liquor without a licen
and is ii not the duty of the one who
is aware of the change to prefer a
complaint at headquarters and not
elsewhere? The excise board has no
police powers. The police are the
ones 10 see that the excise ordinance
is enforced.
Again, | do not sec where the ex-
else board have done wrong in grant
ing a license to N who, though a
citizen, does not actually remain
behind the bar" The excise ordin-
does not compel the ~licensee to
personally conduct the place licensed.
So long as the ~licensee owns the
place. is q resident and citizen of the
city, is a proper person and has given
sufficient bond, there is and cannot
be n legal objection to such grant
ing of license under the present ex-
else ordinance.
Be charitable my brethren. It is
easv to criticise. especially when the
critic is in q position to have the last
shot.

FATAL PANIC
IN A CHURCH.
Terror of Fire at Philadelphia
Caused Eighteen Deaths Over
Fifty Hurt.


PHlLAV fHIA, Jan. 22.-Eighteen
persons W Killed and probably half
a hundred Iiured in a panic follow
ing the ciI ,'of Fire" last night in st.
Paul's co9bred Baptist church on the
west sidey of Eighth street. The serv-
ices werf being held on the second
floor Of the building. A defective fiue
set fire To the chimney, causing smoke
to issue Through the crevices in the
floor near the pulpit. The room was
well filed at the time, and the cry of
"Fire.' coupled with the sight of the
smoke, threw the congregation into Il
panic.
A wildFuSh was made for the stairs
despite the efforts of Rev. Il. w. John
son, the pagtor, to allay the fears of the
frenzied peAple. All wanted to get out
at once, ann men, women and children
alike were Knocked down and tram
pied upon by those pushing from be-
hind.
The stairway to the first floor had one
sharp turn in it, and the frightened
people became so tightly wedged in
the bend of the stairs that the frail
wooden banister gave away, preclpi-
tating many to the first floor.
The rash ana the screams and
shrieks of the women and children add
ed to the frenzy of those above. They
did not stop in their onward rush to
get out. Notwithstanding the wide
open doors on the first f1oor leading to
the street the crush was so great that
eighteen persons had the life stamped
out Of them before the panic was
ended.
In the meantime the greatest confu-
sion reigned. Men and women ran
about the streets calling for missing
loved ones. A great crowd gathered,
and the work of rescue was promptly
started. Dead and injured were quick
ly taken to hospitals and nearby
houses.
The fire was only trifing, the flames
being eXtinguished before the firemen
arrived.

A greasy sink is not to be tolerated,
and the cleansing of it, if it be glazed
ware, may be easily accomplished with
the aid of paraffin. Dip a piece of fan
mel in a little of the oil and then rub it
over the sink. All the grease and dirt
will quickly come off, and the smell of
the paraffin can easily be removed by
washing with soap and hot water. This
treatment Will have a cleansing effect on
