CUT OFF TOES
OF RIGHT FOOT
Mr.. Moe, of City Point, Injured
on St. Paul Road Friday.

A Mr.. Moe resides with his family
short distance from City Point, was
badly injured while endeayoring to
board Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul train about one O'Clock Friday.
After transacting business in this
city in the morning, he went to the
st. Paul depot with the intention OF
taking the freight train which goes
through about this time. He en-
deayored to get on to the moving
train, and slipped and fell in such a
manner that the toes of his left were
caught under the wheels, and while
not completely severed, it was found
necessary to amputate them later.
Physicians were hurriedly summoned
and the unfortunate man removed to
the Riverview Hospital, where Drs.
Boorman, Pomainyille and Blanchar
attended to his injuries. At the pre-
sent time he is resting easily, and
aside from laying him up and MAIN
ing him for the balance of his days,
no serious results are anticipated.
We understand that Mr.. Moe is a
married man and quite well known in
this city. He resided on his farm
some distance from City Point. When
questioned as to the manner in which
the accident occurred, he was unable
to give any clear idea of the same.

THE INDIANS ARE
RICHER THAN WHITES

The transformation of Oklahoma
into a state and the subsequent en-
trance into politics of a number of
Indians, either full blood or nearly
so, is reminder that the red men
can no longer be referred to pityingly
as ''Poor Lo' literally or figuratively.
Head for head, the Indians of this
country are its richest people. There
are 1O6, 900 in Oklahoma and not one
of them is poor. The 1000 Osages i'm
the state are the richest community
on the face of the earth and are ad-
ding constantly to their wealth. In
dians outside Oklahoma have S35, 600,
600 in the United States treasury on
which they get almost s2,0O0,00O in
terest annually, and besides that the
Government is bound to pay them
three quarters of million more. The
per capita wealth of the Indians is
much greater than that of the whites.
Add another fact: that the Indian
population is increasing and you have
the somewhat startling anomaly of an
inferior race refusing to be driven off
the face of the earth, but getting
richer than their would be destroyers.
For tenacity, the Indian supplies an
object lesson that is one of the won
ders of the world.

he will have his store rooms, and
these are conveniently connected with
the main room in such a manner as to
best serve his patrons.

Circus time always brings back re-
collections of youth. When we were
boys the circus used to travel over
land. All big circuses at the present
time travel by rail. All of us boys
remember that it was the early bird
who got sight of the long train of cars
and the fellow who saw the circus un-
load and drawn into the lot where the
tents were pitched had to get up
mighty early in the morning The
cows were MIXED and taken to the
pasture unusually early SO there
might be nothing to interfere with
the boys whole time being spent
looking at the show. The outside of
most of these big aggregations is just
as interesting as the inside. He must
see them both and he is not satisfied,
really satisfied, until he can see the
first stake driven and the last tent
pulled down and the big wagons and
elephants loaded on the train. When

IMPROVEMENT
AT CALVARY
Landscape Artist Has Made
Beautiful Design.

There has been no little agitation
during the past several weeks about
the beautifying and improvement of
the cemeteries in this city. In some
way the work of making these resting
places of the departed ones, more
artistic has been going steadily on,
and now comes the announcement
that the Calvary cemetery, has taken
a long step in the work of improve
ment.
Last week III. E. Perry, representing
the Henry Lake Sons Co. of Black
River Falls, Wis. was in this city,
laying out and planting a spot in the
center, forty by one hundred and
twenty feet. The design was made
by Mr.. Perry, who is well known
landscape artist, and it is said from
the description, that this will be an
exceptionally beautiful spot, when
the flowers and shrubs are up. The
whole design is made from evergreen
shrubs and perennial flowers.
In the center of the plot set aside
for this purpose, is a huge cross
twenty feet long, and with arms ex-
tending either way for twelve feet.
The center of the cross is in white
and the edge in pink Phlox Sublata.
Above this cross and extending in
semi-circle is the word Calvary, in
letters nearly eight feet in diameter.
These letters are in white Arabs
Alpina, and will be very beautiful
and lasting, as the flowers have been
chosen for their hardy and acclimated
nature.
On either end of this plot are also
flower beds and hedges. In the ex-
treme corner are evergreen trees of a
high growth, and these are flanked 10y
dwarf evergreen shrubs, massed in
front and bordered around by perennial
flowers IL is to be remembered that
all these flowers and shrubs have been
chosen for their hardy nature, and
while they will make an exceptionally
beautiful showing when in full bloom,
they will stand the winters and eli
mate well. In addition to those
there will be another hedge up the
front, of American Arbor Vitae.
The cemetery authorities are to be
congratulated on this excellent inova
tion, and those having loved ones
buried in this place will appreciate
the effort they are expending to make
it beautiful resting place.

ACTION
ATTRACTS NOTICE
Kings Approaching Meeting
With Victor Emmanuel Causing
Unfavorable Criticism.

BERLIN, April Hiking Edwards
approaching meeting with King Victor
Emmanuel at Gaeta is attracting much
attention In the German press. which
comments on the event as being an ef-
fort to Isolate Germany and win Italy
from the triple-alliance.
An article in the Cologne Gazette In
this sense Is being widely discussed be-
Eccause 1t Is believed to have been In
spired from Berlin. The writer says
public opinion in Germany gees in King
Edwards course an attempt to disturb
the European equilibrium. which is cal
culated to awaken misgivinss regard
ing his disarmament proposal, and. FIN
ally warns Great Britain that war
With Germany would be dangerous for
any opponent or any coalition Of OPP
poncnts."
The sharp language is interpreted by
the Tagliche Rundschau as meaning
that the Gtr-nan government has grown
weary of the English game Of hide and
seek and the comedy OF peace and
disarmament
