FIGHT WITH INDIANS.
Soldiers Kill Renegade Navajoes Who
Were Threatening Trouble.

Washington, D. C.-The Indian
Office received a telegram from the
Superintendent of the Navajo Indian
Reservation saying that troops from
Fort Wingate, N. M, had arrested
Chief Bayalilia and nine other rene
gade Indians for threatening the lives
and property Of the Government and
the white settlers. A sharp skirmlsh
occurred between the Indians and
the troops, in which three Indians
were killed and one wounded. No
casualties occurred among the troops.
For some time a number Of Indians
under the leadership Of Bayalilia
have been creating disturbances be-
cause of their disinclination to OBJ
serve the regulations Of the Indian
Office and their efforts to prevent
other Indian tribes from doing so.
Their actions became so menacing
that Superintendent Shelton, of the
San Juan Agency, made a request for
soldiers. Accordingly Troops I and
K of the Fifth Cavalry, under the
command Of Captain H. o. Willard,
were dispatched from Fort Wingate,
N. M, on the 22d inst. Mr.. Shelton
was of the opinion that the mere
sight of the soldiers would have a
quieting effect.
Superintendent Shelton wired
along with the Information OF the
fight that the Indians are quiet and
che authorities do not anticipate
further trouble.

HER "BEST FRIEND"
a Woman Thus Speaks of Postum.

We usually consider our. best
friends those who treat US best.
Some persons think coffee a real
friend, but watch it carefully awhile
and observe that it is n OF the
meanest of all enemies, for 1t stabs
one while processing friendship.
Coffee contains a poisonous drug
caffeine-which Injuries the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets
ND disease in one or more organs OF
the body if it's use is persisted In.
"I had heart palpitation and ner-
for four years, and the doc
tor told me the trouble was caused by
coffee. He advised me to leave 1t on,
but I thought I could not" writes a
Wis. lady.
con the advice of a friend I tried
Postum Food Coffee. and 1t so salts
fed me I did not car for coffee after
a few days trial of Postum.
"As weeks went by and I continued
to use Postum my weight increased
from SO to 118 pounds, and the heart
trouble left me. I have used it a year
now and am stronger than / ever was.
7 can hustle up stairs without any
heart palpitatior, and am cured OF
nervousness.
MY children are very fond Of Pos
tum, and it agrees with them. MY
sister liked it when she drank 1t at
my house, but not when she made 1t
at her own home. Now b mas
learned to make it right, boil 1t &C
cording to directions, and has o
very fond of it. You may use my
name If you wish. as l am not
ashamed of praising my best friend

NO EXTRA ONGRESSSESS|0N
Decision Reached at the Last
Cabinet Meeting.
President and Cortelyou Have No
Definite Recommendations For Cur
rency Legislation Ready.

Washington, D. C.-The deep con-
Germ which members Of the Admins
tration, including the President him
self, experienced during the recent
financial disturbance was made man
ifest when more details were learned
in regard to the possibility of calling
an extra session of Congress. The
extra session will not be called. but
the President seriously considered
the advisability Of calling Congress
together before the regular time of
meeting and the decision not to do so
was reached only after an earnest
discussion of the matter in the last
meeting Of the Cabinet.
The developments Of the last three
or four days have inspired a feeling
of greater confidence on the part Of
the Administration, and the impress
sion is that the panicky condition of
week before last has gone, not to re-
turn in the near future. Among the
conditions which have combined to
produce this feeling of reinsurance Is
the fact that hundreds Of national
banks all over the United States have
indicated their eagerness to cooper
ate in the plan of the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Comptroller Of
the Currency for producing an ex-
pansion of national bank circulation.
All sorts Of rumors were heard In
Washington in regard to the Presi-
dents plan affecting the financial sit
uation. It is entirely true that the
President has been asked to convene
Congress in extraordinary session and
that he has been requested as an al
tentative to issue a reassuring state
ment to the country. Neither OF
these things will be done unless the
President changes his mind and un.
less he ~disregards the counsel of GER
tain Of his advisers who seldom
change theirs and who have told him
that the best way to handle the pres
emit situation is to let 1t alone.
The object of calling Congress to-
gether before the regular time or
meeting would be, Of course, to enact
legislation providing for a more elias
tic currency.
A reason for deciding against the
extra session plan at this time Is that
In the opinion of the President and
Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou
the necessity does not exist. They
believe that the conditions will i'm
prove rather than grow worse in the
near future.

DELAWARE.

Dover, Del.-The result Of the pro-

beyond the expectations of the most
sanguiue dry advocate. Prohibition
carried the county by 1900 votes. The
negroes voted three to two for prohi-
bition.
Sussex County apparently has gone
for prohibition, but by a much small
er majority than the temperance lead
ers expected. The estimate Of Rob-
ert e. Houston, the dry leader, is less
than 1000 for prohibition. Dover
Court House district was the first
precinct in Kent County counted out.
The official returns there were: LII

cense the majority in Wilmington IN

of a total vote of $4,000. Rural New
