tried to kill himself by drowning I'm.

He made no plea for mercy. He said
he had come from England several
months ago to make money and had
been disappointed. He said he had

fore Judge Kyle on charge OF vag-

arrested at the request OF persons In

The men said they would visit the
man, do all they could for him and
buy him new clothes when he was
cured.
"Wesre doing this because We take

merly aph ysician. For several years
he had been making a living by doing

A BIG LAKE STEAMER BURNS.
The City of Cleveland Was De.
stroyed at Its Wharf.

Detroit, Mich, May 20.-The mag
nifcent new passenger steamer City
OF Cleveland, under construction at
the plant Of the Detroit Shipbuilding
company, for the Detroit and CleEe-
land Navigation company. and de-
signed to run between Detroit and
Cleveland, was swept by FIRE and is a
total loss except for It's hull and ma
chinery. How much they have been
damaged cannot be determined until
the hull is pumped out and careful
examination is made. The loss,
which falls upon the Detroit Ship
building company, branch OF the
American Shipbuildlng company Is
about 100000 and is fairly well
covered by insurance.
The fire broke out just before day
light In some mysterious manner.
There are rumors that an incendiary
Is suspected.
The City of Cleveland was launched
at Wysndotte January 8 and was to
have been turned over to the Detroit
and Cleveland Navigation company
about June 30. 1t was Al feet long

to be the finest sidewheel steamer on
fresh water and It's interior wood
work, all of which is destroyed, was
unusually beautiful and lavish. The
whole cost was intended to be IL
million dollars.
The shipbullding company will re-
build the boat as rapidly as possible
lit Is announced, but 1t will be impos
sible to get 1t ready for service before
next season.

The RattIesnake Cure for G0iter.

ROBERT EDWARD LEE
AS a Soldier.

The military operations Of Lee ARE
briefly but epigrammatically narrated
by Prof. Shepherd. We think that
the only shadow on the perfection of
Lee as soldier of the very first Or
der was that he resemblcd Hannibal
rather than Alexander the Great, or
Ceasar. He knew how to win victories
and was unsurpassed in defensive
warfare, but did not always know
how to reap his triumphs. How much
he may have been thwarted by hin
auxiliary Generals, or by what Shil-
ler, as translated by Colcridge, calls
"the unspiritual god-Circum-
stancc,' we may not venture to ora
cularly declare; but he seemed to
somewhat lack that quality so con-
spicuous in Jackson and even more
notably in Forrest, Of relentless pur-
suit cf the enemy and his capture
or annihilation. In that respect For
rest was heaven-born General, /"
like Give, and had he been in COM
mand in the West instead Of the
wooden-hcadcl Bragg, and the reck-
less Hood, with men like Cleburne at
his side, the Western Army Of the
Confederacy would have matched in
successful glory the triumphs of the
Army of Northern Virginia. But For
rest was a phenomenal soldier, and
nothing else, while Lee lowered above
all of his Generals and all Of his civic
contemporaries in those moral quail
ties which ally us to the heavenly
choir. Why he did not, after Burn
side was overwhelmingly and dlsas-
trously defeated at Fredericksburg,
drive the Federal General and his
discomfited army into the Rappahan-
mock river, or bag the whole force,
have never had satisfactory explana-
ton. Jackson advised night attack,
but his plan was not adopted. tie
was like Forrest; he saw no use IN
gaining victories without substantial
results, and believed that a beaten
enemy should be kept on the move
and either captured or dcmoralized.
Lee preferred to "build a golden
bridge for flying enemy.' This was
the classic proverb; Forrest neither

INDIAN NAMES IN OKLAHOMA
What Early Settlers Have Called
Some of the Towns and
Streams.

The cowboys, plainsmcn and early
ScttlerS OF Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory were not possessed of a
highly developed poetic sense. Some
OF the names they bestowed upon the
settlements and localities were more
forcible than elegant, and were inspir-
ed by some incident of the moment or
by desire to perpetuate the name
or an individual. In spite of this,
says the Kansas City Star, however,
many of the early white settlements
received Indian names that delight
the ear and are emincntly suited to
the locality and the country.
AS samples of the titles riven to
some Indian Territory waterways
there may be mentioned Do" Creek.
Five Mile Creek, He'll Roaring River
Mud, Oil and Polecat Creeks. These
are scarcely to be preferred to cou
pie of Indian namcs-Hiayona and
We-WoKa. Some of the white man s
names for towns mentioned arc Bob
Grit. Amos Bailey, Fame, Biartown,
Owl, Fishetrown. Beef Creek and jim
town. These may be compared with
some Indian names bestowed on 9TH
er localities-Al-lu-we, Checotah,
Papita, Miskogee, Nowata, Okmulgec,
Sequovah, Tahlequah, Wewoka, Kon-
omis, Oche}ata, Tiawah and Wetun-
ka.
Oklahoma is likewise affected with
many rough and ready names that
may have seemed highly appropriate
to the pioneer but hardly answer the
purpose as permanent titles for COM
munities that may some time become
important cities. Archibald, Fry,
Monk, Nail, Pawpaw and Kelleyville
are few. On the other hand, there
are such Indian names as Ataka,
Kiamichi, Tologa, Waukomis, Wauri-
ka, Waynoka, Tonkawa and Ogeeche.

What Might Have Been.

Then, after lovingly tracing Lee
through his almost perfect course of
husband, father, college president and
then to the heart-break of his disso-
luton, Professor Shepherd comes to
that remarkable final chapter Of his
book treating Of the calamity which
bcfcll the human race when "Europe,
Asia and Africa,' plus Yankees, as
Dr.. Brickcll, states it, overwhelmed
the physical south in arms. I under
stand that ii DR.. Uhler, in Baltimore,
chiefly because Of this chapter, refus-
ed TO let Prof. Shepherds extraordi-
nary work have entrance to public
library. This was prodieions blum
der, like the exclusion Of the state of
Brutus from the Roman procession.
which only made the people remem-
Der all the more of jefferson Davis
because his name was chiscled from
Cabin John Bridge. I do not hesitate
to say that I endorse every word Of
Prof. Shepherds final summing up
and have, III my own poor way, for
years. fccbly expressed what he for
mulatcs, though speculatively, with a
"pomp Of purple words' and verac-
GUS eloquent. The one ar
gument in OPPOSITION TO- his
thesis is that as God per-
mittcd the overthrow Of the Confed-
eracy in arms, therefore it is a righ-
teous verdict. This is mere fallacy,
although Frederick the Great said
that "mighty battles were fought be-
yond the stars.' God does not take
away our free will; He even allows
His own Church, at times, to suffer
apparent demolition. In the case Of
the Confederacy, ominous warnings
are given at this day that the FEEDER
al Union, the Union Of the Fathers,
instead Of being preserved, has been
destroyed or is on the road to destruc-
ton; that negroes, instead Of being
benefited by emancipation, following
freedom, are being physically and
