INDIANS CAPTURE TRAIN.
Take Possession of Supplies En- Route
to Cavalry,

Sheridan, Wyo.-A four-horse wagon
loaded with government supplies in
tended for the Tenth and Sixth troops
of cavalry was held up by the Utes al
point between Arvada and the mill
tary camp near Moorehead. and looted.
The driver was held at the point OF
half hundred rifles unutil the bucks
emptied the big load and strapped 1t on
their ponies.
In the load was 5000 pounds of flour,
and the military is reported camped
at the mouth of Buffalo creek subsist-
ing on short rations until the arrival OF
more, hastily ordered from Arvada.
The Sixth cavalry from Fort Meade
expected to Join the troops from Fort
Kcogh bringing supplies for them
The Keogh troops are at Ashland
with these supplies and expected to
meet the Sixth there.
After looting the wagon, the Indians
allowed the driver to proceed. and the
band rode away with the booty. This
band Is now reported to have outwit-
ted the soldiers and scouts completely
and is reported returning up Little
Powder river and already In Wyo-
ming. They are thought to be either
waiting for the .Cheyennes to join them
or sparring for time in order to make
better terms with the government in
case of surrender. One hundred
braves are reported in this band. the
others now being camped on Bear
creek, near Birney. Two companies
of infantry from Fort Mackenzie have
left Sheridan for the vicinity of Biz
.ney and it is intended to patrol the
eastern boundary of the Cheyenne res
;ervation to prevent the movement OF
that tribe eastward.
Scout Rossculp OF Birney, who is
thoroughly conversant with the section
of the country in which the Utes are
now believed to be in, does not think
the renegades will be given any as
sistance by the Cheyennes. Only one
fifth of these are on the reservation

ceived by Morris X. Jessup. president
Of the Peary Arctic club.
Buffeted around in field of ice, his
ship WITHOUT coal, his dogs poisoned
by impufe' food. and Il portion of the
interior of the vessel torn apart to pro-
vide fuel for the boilers were some of
the trials which the explorer was
forced to face. The most significant
portion of the telegram. however. was
Commander Peary would again try to

"Hopedalo. Labrador, by way OF
Twillingate.s New Foundland. - The
steamer Roosevelt is now here. We

"Then VIC had storms and head
winds to the Labrador coast, October
ed. We lost two rudders. the stern
post, two blades of the propeller, the
foretopmast, spanker. boom and one
beat. We burned all the coal and
some interior beams. using wood and
biubber along the coast. We expect
to communicate again from Capeau
bay. All progress will be slow. Have
no anxiety for our safety and give no
credence to exaggerated reports. The

ditional supplies and repairs. Several
tons of whale meat and dog food were
thrown away last fall, after poisoning
a number of dogs. Other supplies were
lost by the breaking Of the ice in
April. PEARY."

The Velocity of Iioht.

Light moves with the amazing vel
ocity of 1S5,O0O miles second, a
speed million times as great as that
of rifle bullet. 1t would make the
circuit of the earth's circumference. at
the equator. seven times in one beat
of the pendulum. For long time the
light was thought to be instantaneous.
but it is now known to have meas
urable velocity. The discovery was
first made by means of the eclipses of
Jupiter's satellites. Jupiter. like the
Earth, casts a shadow, and when his
moons pass through it. they are
eclipsed, just as our moon is eclipsed
when passing through the earth's
shadow. Jupiters shadow far sur
passes in magnitude that of the earth.
His moon revolves around him more
rapidly than our moon revolves around
the earth, and their orbits are nearly
in the plane of the planets orb. Con
sequentiy, says the Hesperian, they
all, with the exception of the fourth
and most distant satellite, pass
through the planets shadow and are
eclipsed at every revolution.

and co-worksr in her lifetime of the
late Helen p. Blavatsky. has been Sc
riously injured in railway wreck in
Italy. according to private advices just
received here by member of the So
ciety In this city. Beyond stating that
he had been placed in hospital and
Is in bad way" no details of the
wreck arc given Because OF his ad-
vanced years fears FOR his recovery
are entertained.
Colonel Olcott at the time was on his
way to India from Chicago. where he
had presided at the annual conven-
tion of the American section of the
Thcosophical society held in that city
in September
Col. Henry Steele Olcott received

India and from there has, in conjunc-
tion with Mrs. Annie Besant, directed
the entire movement. His authority in
the Theosophical society is supreme.
The American charter is entirely un-

THEY CURE RHEUMATISM
A Particularly Painful Form OF This
Disease Yields to Or. Wiiiiams'
Pink Pills.

OF the many forms which rheumatism
takes, that which is popularity known as
sciatic rheumatism probably tortures its
victim more than any other. That DR..
Williams Pink Pills have cured this
stubborn as well as painful trouble is
fact proven by the following statement,
and 10 sufferer who reads this can af-
ford to let prejudice stand i'll the way of
trying these blood-making pills.
Rheumatism is now generally re-
cognized MS disease of the blood DR..
Williams Pink Pills make-nctunlly

pure there can be no rheumatism. Mrs
Thomas Bresnehan, of 81 Mill street,
Watertown, N. Y. says: !
"My trouble began with severe cold
which l took about week before
Christmas in 1901. l began to have
rheumatic pains in my back and limbs
and after time couldn't strnighten

sometimes l could not stand up at all.
The disease was pronounced sciatic
rheumatism and, although had good
physician and took his medicine faith
fully, did not get any better. After
some six weeks of this terrible pain and

hope OF concealing his own. which is
probably Robert Layton. His home is
at Florence Colorado. and he is an un-

Higher Education.

In his Chancellors Address at the
fourth centenary of Aberdeen Univer-
sity. Lord Strathcona compared higher
education in Great Britain with that
in Germany and the United States.
While praising Aberdeen. he held that
the Old World has much to learn from
the New. He was convinced that on
this side of the Atlantic our institu
tions of learning adapt themselves
more easily and readily to the needs
of their constituencies. They found
out long ago that law and medicine and
theology are not the only legitimate
points of academic study; and in their
faculties of applied science they are
training their young men to do work
that is most loudly called for. They
have never accepted the view that
universities must necessarily be insti-
tutions cloistered and apart from the
main current of public life and sorv-
ice In this country there is, indeed,
little danger that the college-bred man
may sacrifice practical utility to re-
mote ideals. But, as Mr.. A. c. Benson
lately remarked in his paper on THE
Uselessness of Knowledge" the pur
suit of knowledge as an end is not
inconsistent with practical activity.
This is easily to be seen in Germany
which. with her high university stand
ards. has combined advanced and sDc-
cessful methods in industry and co;u-
merce. Give a youth trained mtrd,
and then. if he chooses to be ''practi-
cal" he can be more intensely so than
any of your rule-ofthum3 men,

Romance in wrtt.ra' Lives.

A strange comedy and tragedy was
woven into the lives of Ibsen and
Bjornson. As young men they were
great friends; then politics flung them
apart, they quarreled and, never met
for years and years. Strange fate
brought the children of these two
great writer's together and Bjornson's S
daughter married Ibsen's only child
The fathers met after a quarter OF a
century Of separation at the wedding
of their children.
