Will Not Get Passes,

CHICAGO. Aug. 27.-Thousauds o!
land and immigration agents through.
out the west will be deprived Of passes
on western railroads by the provisions
OF the new ate law. The railroads
interpret the statute as meaning that
the Issuance of transportation to these
agents is discriminatory. The Wis.
consin Central, Illinois Central, Great
Northern and Minneapolis & St.
Louis already have announced that
they will suspend the passes, and other
railroads will take similar action.
Every western road has been accus-
toned to carry from 500 to 5000 land
agents on its books. The beneficial
ries are scattered from the Can adiau
to the Mexican line.

Arouses Ire of British Museum
Officials.

London.-The authorities of the
British Museum are about to make a
special effort to interest the govern
ment in the purchase by the public
of valuable Egyptian relics. This &C.
ton, it appears, is due to information
that John D. Rockefeller has commits

tied money at his disposal to obtain

In an interview an official of the mu.
scum said he sincerely hoped the gov
eminent would take some decided
steps to deal with the habit of Amer
lean millionaires of presenting their
native towns with Egyptian anti
quities, for, with their wealth, the
Americans seemed able to snap up
everything that is precious in con-
nection with Egypt's past.

IS A pIsHoNoRED cHocTAw
The First Ever Known to Violate Par.
ole Even with Life at Stake
Race Tradition.

Kansas City.-Robert L. Folsom, a
full.blooded Choctaw Indian, is the
first man of that tribe to violate the
tradition of his race by breaking his
parole. In 1903 he killed Alfred
Strickland, another Choctaw. and was
arrested. On the theory that Choc.
taw Indian never Jumps" his bond,
he was released on his own recog-
nizance.
HE will not leave" all his friends
declared, and even the friends of
Strickland said: IA Choctaw will
never violate this confidence"
But this Choctaw proved an excep.
ton. He fed to Salt Lake City and
mixed with Greek laborers. There he
remained unrecognized until recently.
He was brought back the other day.
The conviction that Choctaw In
dian will never jump his bond when
liz is arrested for crime is so firm
that they are usually released upon
their own recognizance. One notable
instance was in the case Of Walla
Tenaka, the Choctaw ball player, who,
after being sentenced to death for
murder, was released upon his prom
Use to appear on the date set for execu-
ton. He played ball all summer and

Choctaw Indians sentenced to death

til they can harvest their crops or do
some other necessary work, and never
until now has one defaulted.

Big Redwood Volcano.

Flames issuing from the top of
live redwood tree is the sight that
can be seen in the State Park in the
Big Basin. This is the third time in
IA months that flames have been visi-
BILE. The fire is burning constantly,
but at times so slowly that it is not
perceptible. The heart of the tree is
decayed and it burns like punk until
the blaze burns hole through the
trunk. This forms vent and causes
the smoldering embers to burst into
flames. The tree was 40 feet in
height when it first took fire. Now
it is but 80 feet high.
