WRITTEN MESSAGES IN
MERCHANDISE PACKAGES
Forbidden by Postal Laws
A Penalty for Violation
of Same.

Washington, July 27.--The postal
laws prohibiting placing written mes
sages in merchandise packages or let
tiers on which less than two cents an
ounce has been paid, and the pro-
vision OF this statute admits of no
waiver of the penalty provided.
During the last fiscal year post
office inspectors collected $59,065 for
such violations. In thousands of cases
short note or memorandum was
placed inside the package of mer-
chandise on which postage was paid
at one cent an ounce, while the writ
ing made it necessary that two cents
an ounce chould have been paid
Finding that in a great number of
cases the offense was due to ignorance
of the law and that the collection
of fines usually works a hardship
to the very poor, especially where
written messages are made in re-
turning coupons, tags and certificates
for premiums Postmaster General
Never has directed that proper no.
tees be placed in postoffices warning
the public against he practice.

BIG SNAKE BELOVED
LIKE AN ANGRY BULL
When the Monster Threw a
Man Twenty Feet, Break
ing His Ribs.

Valley, Neb., July pa monster
snake, so feet long with a head like
a bushel basket, is causing terror to
the farmers east of this town, where
it has been seen several times and
where yesterday it picked up Jo-
seph Anderson, a farmer, and threw
him 20 feet, breaking two of his ribs
in doing this.
'rhe farmers have organized grand
snake hunt for next week, and every
man for miles around will take
part.
For 20 years reports have been cir
culated about big snake which lived
near Ages Lake, and which occas-
ionally caught and swallowed a pig
or a calf. Twice this year the snake
has been seen.
Yesterday, while Joseph Anderson
and W. Nightengal, both farmers,
were en- route to the lake to go In
bathing, and were walking through
high grass, the monster snake sud-
denly rose up right under Anderson.
He attempted to step over it, think
ing it a log. The force of the head
threw Anderson 20 feet. Then, with
its head raised six feet above the
ground and believing like a bull,
the snake made for the lake, which
it entered in sight of the men.
Anderson and Nightingale say the
snake was 40 feet long, one foot
thick Kissed like a locomotive let
ting off steam. When it rushed
through the woods to the lake it
broke OF limbs of trees three and
four inches thick.
The country around Ages Lake is
wild over the report, and none of
the farmers will venture out of the
house after dark.

Truthful Remarks.

The Morganfield Sun says it is not
infrequent that newspapers find them
selves unappreciated by men whom
they have favored by their support,
column after column being published
in their favor, and yet such favors,
when the test comes, are unappre-
ciated. When you find your home
paper taking no interest in you or
your success, when you find it keep
ing aggravatingly silent when you
think the editors should be tearing
their linen in your behalf, do not
work yourself into fever of anxiety
as to the cause, but just ask yourself
wherein have you placed the paper
or it's editors under obligations to
use space and energy for you. A
couple of years ago cranky sort Of
an old man came into this office and
stopped his paper because something
in it did not just suit his fancy. We

.DEF|ES THE INDIANS
Whose Chief He was Com
PEELED to Kill.
BRAVERY OF AMERICAN PASTOR
Shot the Red Man in Self
DefenSe-A WOman'S
Brave Stand.

Tucson, Ariz., July 26.--Details of
the threatened uprising of the Apache
Indians on the TT. Mcdowell reserva-
ton in this territory were brought
here by Miss Elizabeth Reilly, teach
er in the Indian school at old TT. Nc
Dowell. Miss Reilly fled to escape
the massacre which she believed to
be inevitable for all the whites who re-
NAMED. The attitude of the Indians
was so threatening that ali the other
whites at TT. Mcdowell left the re-
servation about the time she did, with
the exception of her sister, Mrs. j. A.
Sandersan and Rev. John Gill, sub
agent for the Indians, and his wife
and baby.
The trouble with the Indians was
precipate by Rev. Gill killing Austin
Navajo, Chief of the tribe. The
bravery of Mrs. Sanderson and the Gill
family in remaining among the Indians
with the prospects of being killed any
moment is being highly praised.
Mrs. Sanderson was urged to accom-
pany her sister and the other whites
in their flight Immediately after the
murder of Navajo. She refused to
leave, insisting that it was her duty
to keep the Indian school open no mat
ter how dangerous the situation might
be to her personally. She lives at
the school building alone and unpro-
tected except by the gun which she
carries with her constantly. Before
the trouble over the killing of Nevajo
arose she was well liked by the
Apache braves, and her friends be-
lieve that she may pass through the
terrible ordeal unframed.
Rev. Gill was forced to kill Navajo
in order to save his own life and that
of his wife and baby. He is known
as a man of courage, and no surprise
is expressed that he should have de-
cided to hold his grounds, despite
the threats that are made upon his life
by the incensed Indians. The trouble
arose out of an order which was issu-
ed by Rev. Gill a few months ago,
prohibiting the Indians making "tiss-
wa" which is an intoXicant produc-
ed from fermented corn. 1t is not
quite as bad as whisky, but it produ-
ces a good drunk" when taken in
copious puanity. Chief Navajo spurn-
ed the order.
Navajo was enraged beyond measure
when he learned that Pastor Gill had
placed him in the "unfavorable list"
He appealed to the Government In
dian Commission at Washington. Gill
was sustained by the commission.
1t was then that Navajo resolved to
murder Gill and his family.
A short time ago Navajo crept up
to the window of Gill's house at night
and fired eight shots from pistol at
Gill and his wife and baby through
an open window. By some rare chance
all of the bullets went wild. Gill
grabbed up a gun and fired a shot
at the retreating form of Navajo
The bullet went through the Indians
head, producing instant death.

GHOST0F THEP|R
Appeared and Told of Long
Buried Treasure.
DESCRIBED EXACT LOCATION
Now Houston. Texas, Citizens
q Have Organized to Make
Investigation.

Houston, Texas, July 26.-Spurred
on by vision or La Fitte, the pirate
King of the Gulf of Mexico, which is
said to have appeared identically to
two persons with an intervening peri
bd of go years, a syndicate has been
formed here in Houston for the purpos
of probing to the fullest extent the
revelations claimed to have been i'm
parted by the spirit of the dead terror
of the Gulf.
Twenty years ago DR.. Joseph Beas-
ley. now an aged resident of Houston,
had a dream or vision in which La
Fitte appeared to him commanding him
to dig beneath the summer home of
DR.. Beasley on the gulf coast near La
Porte. At a considerable depth, the
pirate said, would be found large
stone under which at another depth,
lay portion of the treasure which he
had amassed during his lifetime. DR..
Beasley himself declares that he either
saw La Fitte or dreamed that he stoo
by his bedside.
Friday of last week Mrs. Ella Payne
Dunlop, who, with a number of friend
from Palestine, Texas, was stopping
at the old homestead, had a vision
or a dream exactly like that which
came to DR.. Beasley years ago. In
describing her experience Mrs. Dun
lop said that she was in a semi
conscious condition when she saw
man in her room. She tried to scream
but was unable to do so. The fig
ure came direct to her bedside and
said:
BE not afraid. l La Fitte, pirate
Kipg of the Mexican Gulf and the
terror of merchantmen and treas
ure ships"
Mrs. Dunlop says that La Fitte
then told her to search beneath the
very house in which she slept and
She would find untild treasures con-
cealed there.
"Others to whom 1 gave the infor-
nation" the strange visitor contin-
ued, shave not profited by it. Go
there; dig deep and what you find
shall be yours"
With these words the ghostly visit
ant departed and her slumbers were
not disturbed further that night.
The next morning Mrs. Dunlop re-
cou1ted her singular dream or Wis
ion to her host, DR.. Beasley, and her
friends. DR.. Beasley was startled
THAT sounds like a familiar story
to me-" said he. Then he told of his
vision of 20 years before and ghost or
goblin-whicheve it was-had told
similar story to both, neither of whom
knew the other until this summer.
Dr.. Beasley stated that when the
vision appeared to him he had paid
but scant heed to it-only a slight
attempt to trace the strange story to
it's end. He had found a stone
as described, but had not dug to any
appreciable depth. In a week or so
after his dream he had forgotten all
about 1t, and the vision never came
back.
La Fitte, as is known, was the most
picturesque rogue that ever sailed
the Gulf of Mexico in the search of
plumber At the time that Texas was
fighting for her independence from
