Sensational Charges Of M'smanaoe'
nent Of Indian Schools Made.
Salt Lake City, Jan. Performer
Governor Mcconnell of Idaho, in an
interview in the Herald. charges gross
mismanagement of the Indian schools
and arraigns the system by which
young Indian girls are taken away
from their parents and sent to the,
Indian schools. He alleges that the
teachers in the schools practice great
cruelty upon their charges and that
the girl pupils are. allowed to be de-.
bauched. The blame for these condi-
tions he places upon Secretary Hitch
cock, who, he says, he acquainted with
these conditions during his (McCon-
nell's, tenure of Office as Indian COM
missioner, but who pigeonholed his
report. He further says that the off,
cials Of the interior department con
ceal the true state of affairs from the
president. The reservation schools
are badly overcrowded, he says, as the
agents try to secure as large q per
capita appropriation as possible. He
claims to have seen instances where
Indian boys with running tubercular
sores were compelled to sleep with
healthy Indians.

ODD THINGS IN ANIMALS.
Eye Of the Owl and Mouth Of the Froo
Have Their Limitations.

Washington.-Unlike most animals.
horses have no eyebrows and hares
are minus eyelids, says a naturalist.
Consequently the eyes of the latter
cannot be shut and thin membran.
eous substance covers them when
asleep. The eye of the owl is also
peculiar, seeing that it is immovably
fixed in it's socket and cannot stir in
any direction. To compensate for
this seeming disadvantage It can turn
its head almost completely around
without moving its body.
If you were to keep a frogs mouth
open many minutes it would soon die.
as, owing to its peculiar construction,
1t can breathe only with the mouth
closed. On the other hand, fishes are
compelled to keep opening and clos
ing their mouths in order to give their
respiration organs full play.
A curious fact about the eel is that
it has less life in its head than in its
tail, consequently when killing an eel
the fisherman smashes the tail; It also
has two hearts. Snakes usually have
their teeth in the head, but one va.
riety in Africa, whose principal food
is eggs, is provided with substitute
for them in its stomach.

justice GAYNER'S ADDRESS
TO BUFFALO LAWYERS CLUB
Prominent Democrat Supports President Roosevelt
in His Efforts to Abolish the Crime of Re.
batind. Thank God Roosevelt Has
Gone at It a. He Has,

shares of stock Of any other number
Of corporations without limit"
Turning his attention to railroads,
Judge Gaynor said the country's iron
highways were frequently used to ag-
grandize certain individuals, firms, and
corporations, and to destroy their
rivals in business Dy ravorltism IN
freight rates. He said favoritism en-
abled one to undersell his rival and
ruin him and drive him out Of bust
ness.
Rebates Are Robberies.
The speaker said the granting of re-
bates was heartless crime, and said
that "the use of our highways to per-
petuate 1t made It as bad as common,
vulgar, highway robbery, and that sue
ceeding generations would look black
upon US as lost to moral sense to have
tolerated 1t SO long,"
He said that the lawyers had =
responsibility for this wrong, for 1t
never could have grown up except
by their aid or acquiescence, and could
not continue If they united in educa-
ting the community to full compre-
hension of its enormity, and to the
fact that the railroads were not priv
ate roads. but public highways over
which every one had the right Of
transportation on equal terms.
Support Roosevelt, He Says.
Justice Gaynor urged that President
Roosevelt be sustained in his efforts
to abolish the greatest crime of the
-day-destruction of businesses and Of
people by the giving or rebates and
unfair advantages to some over others
on what are supposed to be common
carriers.
"some may think" said he, chat it
is unusual for Democrat to speak
that way about a republican president,
but I thank God President Roosevelt
has gone at it as he has"

FOREIGN MISSIONS
Appeal to Roosevelt and King
Edward to Right the Congo
Wrongs.

The members of the conference of
the foreign mission boards of the
United States and Canada which held
its sessions at Philadelphia last week
have sent to President Roosevelt and
King Edward of England an appeal
in behalf of the stricken people of
the Congo district of Africa. They
urge them to bring about thorough
investigation and to right such
wrongs as the inquiry may show
exist.
They earnestly urged that the ruler
of the Congo States should not be
allowed to evade accountability by
transferring the territory to his own
government except with international
sanction. In concluding the appeal
they say:
I'm the name of humanity, of in
ternational justice, of regard for the
primal rights of man, we would ask
that you will use the full power re-
posed in governments by the supreme
ruler, in the interest of an immedi.
ate discharge by the nations of the
responsibility of guardianship over
the remnant of the humble people,
who, a generation ago, without choice
of their own, were brought out of
their isolation in relations with the
world of men and states"

ELECTRIC spANkER LATEST.
Inventor Comes Forward with Novel
Corrective Machine.

Chicago.-Following the suggestion
made by one of Chicago's school
principals a few days ago that the
most urgent necessity in the public
schools of this city to-day is spank.
ing machine, Charles E. Gregory,
president of an electric company,
comes forward with the announcement
that he has under construction an cleo
trio machine for this purpose, which
he will exhibit at the January cleo.
trical show at the Coliseum.
1t is described by Mr.. Gregory as
having the appearance of an inverted
electric fan, connected with wall
fixture and usually placed in some
convenient bedchamber where the
noise from the soothing" effect Will
not be heard by the neighbors and give
the parent the reputation of being a
brute.
The paddles on the device will be
manufactured in various shapes. The
inventor, however, is of the opinion
that the style resembling a No. -
slipper will be the most effective and
popular.
The electrically rocked cradle will
also be center of great interest by
the heads of families where there are
Infants. By this invention the proud
father turns on switch when the
youngster yells at two a. m. and the
electric current Immediately produces
an unlabored soothing rocking of the
crib, which continues until the young.
ster is asleep.
