AN INDIAN MYSTERY.
The White Woman Who Fought With
the Tonto Apsches.

the Tonto Apaehes.
The following story was told by one
OF AriZona's early pioneers:
In 1864 DR.. Alsap and Lord Duppa,
well known pioneers. were prospecting
with a party in the Bradshaw noun
tains Oh the Hassayampa creek. One
morning the party separated for the
purpose Of hunting In going up a
canyon. in which they were separated
from their companions by high noun
tains, Duppa's detachment was attack
ed by large band Of Tonic Apaches
The whites gradually fought their way
across the ridge with the hope Of re-
Joining their companions. During the
advance Duppa, who was stationed be-
hind a rock, noticed that he was the
particular mark Of an Indian with u
bow. Several arrows had fallen at his
feet, and one struck him In the arm
Raising his rifle, he took aim, and Just
as he was touching the trigger the sup
posed Indian cried, Don't shoot" in
good English, but it was too late. and
the body fell over with life extinct.
Soon after the two parties succeeded In
forming junction, and the Indians re-
treated, leaving their dead.
Out OF curiosity the party returned to
the place where Duppa killed the sup
posed Indian and found that il was
white woman, evidently about thirty
years Of age and dressed in all the

THE CHAUTAUQUA.

The Chanute chautauqua that
closes this week has brought several
good attractions to town. Those
who had the time to attend the full
course doubtless got their moneys
worth several times over.
1t was our privilege to hear but
few of the attractions. But one o
those we did hear was the address
by Col. H. w. Ham of Georgia.
We went with great anticipations
and had our expectations more than
filled. The Col. had practically all
the afternoon and being wound up
he simply set the machine off and
the language just rolled out in any
shape he wished, and he about took
up the afternoon, yet no body got
tired or seemed restless, notwith
standing they only had the soft side
of board to sit upon, with no back.
The Col. is a genius, as a story tell
ar and mimic he is a master. Tht
Snalligoster in politics he ridiculeG
Mal;gned, scorched and lam
basted in a way that was refreshii G
to the ordinary citizen that believes
in fairness and honor even In poll
tics. He showed up some of the
tricks and subterfuges of the polite
ian and announced that there was
not particle of honor or honesty
in his make up. His mouth is his
principle asset and pure selfshness
only motive. He closed with an
exhortation to the rising generation
to be patriotic and unselfsh to be
statesmen rather than politicians.
Such addresses are calculated to
do good in any community.

A LITTLE PETULANT.

Why it is that the Santa Fe wishe.
to do little mean things simply tc
aggravate and annoy her patron.
since this talk of the two cent rate
became so common, instead OIL
adopting and carrying out broad
and liberal policy is more than we
eau understand.
A studied effort seems to be made
to annoy her passengers by petty
rules that have no foundation in
jastice or right.
One in point, last Saturday the
daughter in.law of Virgil Wilson, d
poor widow of this city wished to
go to Argentine to visit her mother.
She found it cost more TO buy a
ticket to Argentine than it did to
buy one to Kansas City, though
Kansas City is considerably farther.
She bought the ticket to Kansas
City and asked to have her trunk
checked to Argentine. The agent
fatty refused and told her he would
have to check her trunk to Kansas
City. 1t would not have cost the
railroad any more to put her trunk
off at Argentine than at Kansas City
yet it must be checked through and
Mrs. Wilson must get it back the
best way she can.
We suppose the ticket agent here,
Mr.. Wickadal was acting under or.
ders when he required this to be
done, If not it is up to him to ex-
plain. 1t does not seem proper that
the rate should be more to Argen.
tine, and intermediate points, than
1t is to Kansas City any way. This
is case where the part is greater
than the whole and should not be
tolerated. What is the matter with
that railroad board? If the Santa
Fe feels compelled to cut the rate to
X. c. by reason of the competi-
tion of the Katy, she should be
compelled by law to charge no more
to any Intermediate point.
If the legislature last winter could
have got out from under railroad
domination long enough 10 pass a
genuine two cent fare law instead
of that bastard they did pass under
the name of two cent fare law,
these conditions and determinations
could not arise.

DIMINISHING PENSION
ROLL.

During April 3,6Ie old soldiers
on the pension roll died, and $50
names were added to the roll, the
net decrease by death being 2,977.
The old soldiers are fast passing
away, and the mortality rate will in
crease from year to year. In spite
or the new service pension law
which admits to the roll all veterans
of the Cival was over e. years CT
age, regardless Of disability, the
pension roll is not increasing, nor
the pension disbursements. OF the
$50, 900 applications, in round fig
ures, for pensions under this new
law between 90 and SO per cent are
of persons already ou the roll at
lower rate of pension. This fact
and the now evident decline IN the
pension list 60 to show that substar-
TALLY all the honorsbly discharged

ed at the small number of soldiers
applying for service pension who
were not already on the roll, the
number being less than 1000. The
liberality of the pension acts of Con-
gress was such that in effect they
amounted to service pension.
Commissioner Warner says that
the service pension law will not
now make it necessary to increase
the pension appropriation. Its
cost was over estimated and money
appropriated by Congress to carry
it through its first year will be turn
ed back into the Treasury,
The service pension law, always
easily defeated in past sessions of
Congress, was enacted this last year
without opposition, and this change
of temper towards it was not due to
a belief that 1t would add nothing
materially to the cost of pensions.
The bill was passed with the con-
trary belief, and scarcely vote
cast against it.
The temper OF the country has
grown kindlier towards large peb-
sion disbursements as the veterans
have advanced IN years and phySi-
cal disability. While they were able
bodied, most of them apparently
strong and hearty, hostility to large
pension payments was intense in
)me sections. Criticism of the I4o
million dollar pension bill has been
silenced by the spectacle of the en-
feebled veterans in their annual
parades on Memorial day and the
diminishing roster of the Grand
Army and by an increasing sense of
their services to the Union with the
passing years. The great war looms
bigger as it recedes into history

CONTEMPORARY COM
MENT.

| AlLN We
We are on excellent terms with
Japan. We hope and expect to re-
main on good terms in spite of the
policy of pin pricks for which a yell
low press and lingo politicians in
both countries have acquired an un-
eviable responsibility. But most OF
our colonial obligations are in the
Pacific; we are the only power in
the world except England with in
terests on both sides of that ocean,
and the Pacific is, for the present at
least, the sphere where the bulk OF
our naval power should be as
sembled. The navy department may
give effect to that opinion without
offending the susceptibilities of ia
pan. Germany does not grow bel
ligerent when British feet moves
into the North sea: Italy does not
take offense when France collects a
huge squadron in the Mediterranean.
The government of Japan will not,
we think abandon its historically
friendly attitude toward this country
simply because the expansion of our
colonial and commercial dominion
in the Pacific has become so impor-
tant that the presence there of the
larger part of the navy is considered
essential to Its support.
The completion of the Panama
canal will make it matter of lndlt-
ference where the majority of our
fighting ships shall! be stationed.
The opening of that crannel be-
tween the oceans will obvlate the
long delay now entailed IN the trans
fer of individual ships or squadrons
by way of the Horn or the Suez
canal. But as the piercing of the
Panama canal is still far from finish
ed, policy of prudence dsctates
the concentration of ships in waters
where our colonial holdings are
greatest and whittier, in an emer-
gency, they could not now be dis
patched without a ruinously pro-
tracted delay.
Meanwhile those who would not
fight in the event of quarrel are
insisting that those who do not
want TO fight and do not intend to
do so, shall, sooner or later, come
to blows. French and German
editors believe, or affect to believe,
that war is inevitable. They argue
that Japan, scarcely emerged from
life and death struggle and swamp
ed with load of debt, must dis
pute the mastery Of the Pacific with
the United States, upon which the
burdens of Asia:ic dominion still
press heavily, must multiply those
burdens thousand-fold by
causeless, cruel and ultimately un-
profitable conflict. They would re-
verse tradition, indict diplomacy,
dispense with judgment. and in a
day infict wounds generations would
be unable to heal. We are convinced
that their talk is four fifths nonsense
and one-ffth sensation. They are
creating for themselves a monopoly
of the absurd, In which they should
have no rivalry here or in Japan.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1907-07-19
WAR WITH JAPAN


Still the jingoes are talkink war
between this country and Japan.
The yellow journals on both sides
the water are giving credence to the
talk and doing their very best to in
huence the minds of the people In
both countries. The officials in
both countries seem undisturbed by
the talk and il seems to have about
as little effect in Japan as it does In
this country.
Both the officials of Japan and of
this country declare that the best of
feeling exists between the two count
ries and that neither has any cause
= of complaint against the other.
This man Hobsou' who was
brave and efficient sailor and is now
a congressman elec from Alabama,
is visiting our chautauqua telling US
how Japan is just ready to jump on
to our defenseless heads and lick
the daylights out of us before we
know what is going on, at so much
per chautauqua.
Now Hobson is all right, he has
pretty near grown up in the navy
and knows more about the navy
than he does about anything else.
He is out making good money. His
head is level on the question of the
necessity of a big navy for this
country. If ever country was. so
situated that it needed navy il is
this country right at the present
time.
Yet, if Mr.. Hobson went around
among the chautauquas simply an
nouncing that we need more ships
h would not attract any very great
attention. His address must have
some sensationaism to make hlm a
drawing card. The mercenary chau-
tauqua managers would not long
want him if he could not get up
Italk and draw crowd.
~ The plain facts are that the Japan
ese exclusion act about which these
fellows claim Japan is ready to go
to war, was passed by and with the
consent of Japan. and with her full
approval, Japan does not want her
citizens to emigrate to this country
in any great numbers, she has use
for them nearer home. She wants
and expects to Japanize Corea and
Manchuria and much prefer her
countrymen locate there. She has
use for them there. There is pro-
vlso in this act by which Japan can
grant a passport to any of her sub
iects and have them admitted to
this country if she choose. How
ever, if Hobson does, by his sensa-
tional predictions Of war, assist in
stirring up Congress TO order an in
crease in our navy, he will have &C
complished some good by his talk.
Manila and the Hawaii an islands
are now at the mercy of any foe that
may desire to take possession of
them. Another congress She uld not
pass without ample provisions being
made for the the defense of our is
land possessions as we'll as the rapid
construction add equipment of a
navy vastly superior to that of any
other country. A provision OF this
'kind would guarantee us from a war
with any country and would be much
cheaper than war.
