trol-what the Issues Archie
Party's Programme Clear.
President Roosevelt unexpectedly threw
himself into the congressional campaign
when he made public letter to Congress
man Watson Of Indiana, which is cam
paign speech written with the Presidents
characteristic vigor and plain speaking.
The President says bluntly that ito
change the leadership and organization of
the House at this time would "substi-
tute purposeless confusion, a violent
and hurtful oscillation between the posi-
tons of the extreme radical and the ex-
IRENE reactionary for the present orderly
progress along the lines of carefully
thought-out policy"
In other words, the President declares
the Democrats lave no settled policy on
any question, while the Republican pro-
gram is clear cut and we'll defined.

For several years there was much
said about a railroad from Galena to
GAINESVILLE, the idea being when once
there, to arrange. with the then Mil
waukee and Mississippi. now the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, to run
line to GAINESVILLE from Milton June
ton, and thus secure Milwaukee con
nection. The line was built from Nil
ton to GAINESVILLE.
A number of moneyed men of Galena
had been induced to interest themselves
In the project. In 1860 several OF these
gentlemen, including the banker. Henry
Corwith, who loaned vast sums of
money to Wisconsin lumbermen from
thirty to forty years ago. being. of the
number, drove overland to GAINESVILLE
for double purpose-to see the char
acter of the country through which the
proposed road was to run, and TO con-
suit with A. Hyatt Smith and other
GAINESVILLE men concerning the contem-
plated enterprise. Mr.. Corwith and his
party were met by Mr.. Smith and sew
eral others. There was a carriage ride
In the afternoon. One of the Galena
party had not been provided with a
seat. He stood in front of the hotel
watching the delegations preparing for
the trip of pleasure and business.
Mr.. Corwith, that gentleman is of
your party, is he not?" asked Hyatt
Smith.
Yes, he came over with u.s."
swell, well! I'll sit with the driver
and he can take my place."
"Never mind him, Mr.. Smith. Pre-
sumo he does not care to go. He is our
driver"
1t was not exactly a banquet they
had that evening, after the GAINESVILLE
people had shown their visitors the
town and told them as much in its
favor as 1t would bear, but it was
spread something beyond the average
for the little town of two or three thous-
aad inhabitants.

SAW HEAVEN AND HELL.
Cheroiees I'm Awe of a Tribesman
They Came Nenr Burying.

Cherokees I'm Awe Of a Tribesman
They Came Near Burying.
Tooley Catron, Cherokee Indian of
21 or 20 years, who declares he has
arisen from the dead, Is just now the
center of more attention than is usual
ly accorded one who has never been
known beyond the narrow confines of
his nc;ghborhood, says the Muskogee e..
I'd correspondent of the New York
Herald.
Not many years ago young 'Catron
was returning from Tahlequah, dis
lance of about ten miles from bis home.
Travelling on foot, he came to river
and ne proceeded to wade across when.
without an instant's p.emonition of i'll
ness, be suddenly fell unconscious on a
gravel bar. There he remained for some
time, when he was found by passer-
by, who, supposing him to be dead, car
rled him to his hut i'll the forest near
Barren Fork Greek.
There Catron was laid upon his bed
and efforts were made TO restore him to
consciousness, but to no avail, and he
was given up for dead.
All the next day he lay stark and
cold and it was decided to bury him
on the following day. Consequently,
preparations for performing the last
offices were begun, but, after all, the
internent was not to be, for before
the sun had arisen on the day set for
the funeral obsequies Catron began to
SHOW signs of returning animation, and
by the time the sunbeams were dissi-
pating the mists in the Barren Fork
Valley the supposedly dead man was
very much alive and ready to partake
of food and drink and in few days, as
strong as usual, was to be seen about
his usual haunts.
But while he was well physically as
ever, the processes of Catron's mind
Whereas he had previous to his I'M
conscious state entered into the COM
monplace conversations Of his compan-
ions with readiness. he now assumed
greatly changed manner of speech. His
demeanor, too, was different. He as
sumed a more dignified carriage.
All Of this was in itself surprising to
bis neighbors, already mystified by his
return from what was supposed by
them to be death, but their surprise was
even greater when Catron Informed
them that he had really been dead, had
seen 10th heaven and hell and the posi-
ton to be occupied in the unseen world
by the red. white and black races.
His future on earth, he indicated.
would be different from what it had
been IN the past In conversation with
an old acquaintance, Catron informed
