We have been told, almost ever

considered capable Of telling the

DAIRY business, o"cr forty years ago,
and that Jim Mills was a close

formerly worked some, when he had

For CIGAR Smokers.

When you smoke a cigar you want
good one. A poor cigar is a rank
abomination and stencil in your own
nostrils and In those Of your friends
within smelling distance.
The trouble with most of us is to
find cigar with rich, satisfying aroma
and easy drawing qualities without
paying an exorbitant price for 1t. 1t
remained for Frank P. Lewis OF
Peoria, ILL.,, to solve the problem for
us. His Lewis Single Binder SC cigar
is without doubt the peer of any brand
of 1Oc cigars on the market. The
Lewis Single Binder cigar is wrapped
in tinfoil and reaches the smoker as
fresh as when leaving the factory. Its
smooth, rich, satisfying smoking quail
tiles are a delight both to the palate
and the nostrils of cigar connoisseurs
everywhere. In spite Of the fact that
the Lewis factory employ no travel
ing men the sales this year will ex'
coed 100000, the demand being ere
ated solely on the high quality Of the
tobacco used.

-FOUR NEW CARDINALS
A Secret conslstory Held In the Vail
can at ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Condemned.

Rome, Dec. 1.-THE pope Monday
held secret consistory in'the vatican
In which he created four new cardi-
nails and preconized several bishops.
The cardinals are: Monsignor Pietro
Gasparri, secretary Of the congrega-
ton Of extraordinary ecclesiastical
affairs; Monsignor De Lai, secretary
Of the congregation Of the council;
Monsignor Ludovic Henry Luccn,
archbishop of Rheims, and Monsign ,r
Pail Pierre Andrieu, archbishop y
Marseilles.
The pope delivered an alocution In
which he maae reference to the prose-
cution Of thredeemer and said taat
his church Mad been attacked from all
sides in warfare open or dissim la
ted. The rights and laws OF the
church had been trampled on evel by
those who should safeguard them, and
the impious and vulgar press had
fought her even to the extent Of dis.
turbing the public quiet. The pontiff
cited the recent disorders In Italy. To
this must be added, he continued, the
disastrous propaganda In the bosom
of Catholicism itself which Is being
carried on by modernists who disdair
the pentifical authority and desire
themselves authorltatively to sanction
new faith and a new conscience. III
the modernists would enlist them
selves frankly among the enemies o.
the church this evil would be less; as
as it Is they proclaim themselves Cath
olics, partake Of the sacrament ant
celebrate mass. Fulfilling his apostle
lie duty, the pope said, he had adopted
against the modernists such measures
as were unnecessary, striving particu
larry to save the young clergymei
from preverslon.

Senatorial Investigating COMMITTEES
Use Strong Terms in Their Re-

Senators Teller, Curtis and la Fol.
iette Declare That Outrages Were
Shamelessly Perpetrsted on the In
dlans by a Clique Of Land orafters
ASK Further Time.

Washington, Dec. IL. - Senators
Teller, Curtis and LaFollette, com.
posing committee which was au.
thorized to investigate the affairs OF
the Kickapoo Indians, will soon sab
NIT to the senate report giving the
names of several parties who are al
legged to have dealt fraudulently with
the Kickapoos who emigrated to
Mexico and who disposed Of their
lands at Shawnee, Ok. The report
mentions a clique known as the
"Chapman-Grimes-C onine pool and
says that their conduct In securing the
valuable lands owned by the Mexican
Kickapoo Indians was criminal and
brutal in the extreme. 1t is recon-
mended that special attorney shall
be appointed, who shall act under the
direction of the department Of JUS
tice in entering suits to set aside all
deeds to Kickapoo lands.
The alleged criminal acts of the men
mentioned in the report appear to be
very hard to deal with in the opinion
of the committee for the reason that
most of them were committed in Mex
leo. Concerning the doings OF the
n-Grtmes-Conine people the re.
port says:
"Outrages were shamelessly perpe-
trated by them and their conduct has
never been equaled in the history Of
any dealings to secure lands from the
American Indians. The names Of the
Indians were wilfully and deliberately
forged to the deeds claimed to have
been taken In Mexico. Two OF three
instances are sufficient to show to
what extremes they went They had
the head men OF the tribe arrested and
all the leading members Of the tTibs
thrown into jail They then took a
large number OF Indians by force and
under guard OF policemen to Guajar
dos, house in Muzquiz, where they
urged the Indians to sell their lands
which the Indians declined ito do, tell
ing them invariably that they did moi
desire to sell their lands, and under
no circumstances would they sign any
papers; yet these people claim TIC
have deeds executed at Guajardos
Z house by the Indians. The Indians
all say that they did not sign, and
the Indian interpreters used upon the
different occasions, each say that the
Indians did not sign Their names
or touch the pen for them
The committee will request that II
be continued in existence until such
time as its members shall consider
that the grievances of the Kickapoos
in question are receiving proper at
tention.
