SECRET OF GOOD MANNERS.
Two Theories of tho AcquIremens-- unseifsi,ness and convertleralfty.

Most mothers hold, consciously or unconsciously, one of two theories about the requirement of manners oy their children. One mother says, Manners are only the outward sign of the inner nature. If my daughter has kind heart and well trained mind she will behave in gentle, charming fashion. I will teach her compassion. respect for age, uaselnsn zeal for helping with the worlds work. Her manners will take care or themselves" Another mother says, My girls will never get on without conventional manners. They shall be taught from babyhood to emulate the speech and bearing of ladies. They shall be instructed in the proper be- havior for every occasion. They shall walk and dance and write and speak with graceful perfection" Neither method, says the Youths Companion, produces altogether satisfactory re- suits. Unselfshnsss Is truly tho foundation of good manners, but not ths supsrstructure. Many convention al restrictions have grown about so- oia; relations. Some can be explained by the demand of kindness and some cannot.

DIDN'T PURCHASE THE MINE.
Perspective Owners Knew Not Where
 to Get Pack Train Needed.

The secretary of an eastern com nany that some time ago was anxious to purchase a silver-lead mine in the northwest tells of an amusing incident in the negotiations for It's purchase. As the ore assayed well and every thing looked propItious, mining ex- pert was sent to examine the mins. His report was favorable, too favor able, in fact, and aroused the sus- pieions Of the woSld-be purchaser; so it was deternig1d o investigate more closely. At tnis psdnt well-known mining man of Butte recommended that certain roush-and-ready genius should be sent to look at the mine. You can deepnd upon his judgment" the mining man said. You can trust to his report, which in all probability. will be brief and very much to the point" The advice was followed AS predicted the report was short and pithy. It read substantially as fol- lows: Gents; I have made an exam ination of the K mine, and report that the ore Is there as represented: that 1t assays high; that 1t is there in plenty: but to get your supplies in aud yoursore out. you will need pack train Of bald eagles. -Harper's Weekly

YOUNG GIRLS HIS VICTIMS
Six Indictments Returned Against Raymond Hitchcock, a New
 York Comedian.
TIE ACCUSED ACTOR HAS DISAPPEARED
Although the Police Have Searched Diligently They Have Been Unable to Locate Hitchcock In tho City or Get Any Tidings of Hir--His Wife Is Prostrated.

New York, Nov. 1.-The grand jury filed six indictments Wednesday against Raymond Hitchcock, the com edian in The Yankee Tourist" at the Astor theater, The indictments charge attacks on young girls. Hitch cock was notified through his counsel to appear Thursday before Judge Grain at the general sessions.
 Three girls, Elsie Koeoks, Flora Whitney and Helen von Hagen, ap- peared before the grand jury as wit nesses They were examined by the assistant district attorney, MT. Gar van. Superintendent Moore and an agent of the Gerry society also testi- fed. The hearing on Hitchcocks complaint of extortion against Hugo C. Voecks, was also set for Thursday.
 Hitchcock is already under $3.000 ball to appear in court to answer a charge of criminal assault upon which he was arrested several days ago. No trace of him had been found up to the hour at which he was to have been in court, however, although the search for him had been prosecuted steadily throughout the night and morning. One after another of theories which have been advanced as to what be- came of Hitchcock after his sudden disappearance early Wednesday are being run down by the police and de- tectives. One of the first of these to be exploded was that he took passage on the steamer Majestic for Europe. Hitchcock's name was not on the pas senger list, and the officials of the line said they had absolutely no req son to believe that he is among the Majestic's passengers.
 Flora Seabells. the missing actors wife, who has a part in the Yankee Tourist" company, in which Hitchcock has been starring, was completely ex- hausted Thursday as the result of the strain of the last 24 hours. Despite the fact that she was apparently on the. verge of breakdown Wednesday went through her part in both the matinee and evening performances of Yankee Tourist" After the close of the performance Mrs. Hitchcock re- mained up all night assisting in d. reotlng the search for her husband. She will not listen to any theory which included flight, insisting that she believes he has been the victim of foul play. In support of her con fsntion she declares that Hitchcock made absolutely no preparations for flight, as he had only few dollars in money and two or three rings with him when he left the hotel Wednes- day morning.

Europe Buys Wheat.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-The break In t price of wheat Tuesday brought large European orders for immediate ship ment. Six hundred thousand bushels of red winter wheat was sold here Tuesday for shipment East. Chicago bankers regard this movement as sig nificant of the powerful aid which the West is bringing to the financial situ- ation. They say that if the movement of the great staple continues to grow the obligations to this country created abroad will be so large that it will be impossible for European banks to re- tain their gold even by fixing discount rates at the maximum.

Three Indians Killed and One Wounded in a Battle In South
 ern Utah.
HE CHIEF AND NINE OTHERS ARRESTED
The Indians Taken Into Custody Are From New Mexico and Eastern Arizona and Have Been Creating a Disturbance on the San Juan Reser- vation--The Ute Trouble.

Washington, Nov 1---In a battle between the United States troops and Indians which occurred in southern Utah several days ago. three persons were killed and another wounded, all believed to have been Indians. The news of the occurrence Was conveyed to the Indian bureau in telegram from Superintendent Shelton of the San Juan agency. which though dated Wednesday was not received until Thursday
 The army command consisted of four officers, "A men and three Indian scouts, The telegram to the Indian bureau. which was dated at Ship Rock. N. NJ, follows:
 'The troops have returned from Southern Utah. They arrested Bylillic aud nine other Indians. Three others were killed and one wounded while shooting at the Indians. The Indians are quiet and do not anticipate further trouble"
 The officials of the Indian bureau assume that the killed and wounded were Indians.
 The Indians arrested are part of a band of Navajos from New Mexico and Eastern Arizona. A number of Indians. under the leadership of Bylillie. have been creating disturbance because of their disinclination to observe the reg ulations So offensive became their actions that Superintendent Shelton made request that soldiers be sent to the reservation, and Troops and K of the Fifth cavalry, under Capt. Will lard, were despatched from Fort Win gate. N M, to Arnetta. Utah, the 22d instant. It was not intended at the time that their presence should mean any more than demonstration with view of quicting effect.
 The war department Thursday re- ceived the following, dated Thunder Bay. & D., from Capt Johnson, who was dispatched to the Ute Indian camp in South Dakota:
 Visited Ute camp yesterday Found them quietly waiting our arrival. ex- pecting me to be able to adjust their difficulty. Will hold council with head men today and will report results of meeting Agent has dismissed volun- tary force and controls situation with Indian police No immediate danger to life and property"

Book Mites.

If books or papers are kept too long in closed. dark bookcase. they will have book mites in them. When this is noticed the books should be taken out, laid in the sun and cleaned. Wash the shelves and saturate every corner with oil of cedar. which will drive them away It is necessary to get rid of these mites. for often they get into furniture and have destroyed many valuable pictures. Put teaspoonful of the oil in a basin of water. wiring a cloth out of it and wipe the backs and edges of the books Be careful to look through the binding at the back of the books. for this Is where they are mostly found

A Lover of Mankind.

A good man Is friendly to his fellow creatures and lover of mankind; and so will. upon every occasion, and often without any, say all the good he can of everybody; but, so far as he Is a good man, win never be disposed to speak evil Of any, unless there be some other reason for it besides barely that it iy true. If he be charged with having given an i'll character he will scarce think 1t a sufficient justification of himself to say that 1t was true one. unless he can also give some further account how he came to do so; a just indignation against particular instan. ces of villainy. where they are great and scandalous; or to prevent an in. nooent man from being deceived and betrayed. when he has great trust and confidence in one who does not deserve it.--Joseph Butler.

OKLAHOMA APPOINTMENTS.
President Is Said to Have Decided Upon Who Shall Fill New
 State Offices.

Washington, Oct 30.-According to the most trustworthy information ob- tainable the following federal appoint ments in the new state of Oklahoma have been decided upon by President Roosevelt: In the western district for United States district attorney, John Embry, now district attorney for Oak lahoma territory; for United States marshal, John Abernathy, now mar shal for Oklahoma territory; in the Eastern district. for United States dis trict attorney, Charles Rogers, of Win ita; for United States marshal, Mar shal Porter, of the Southern district of Indian territory.
 These appointments practically were decided upon Monday at a con ference President Roosevelt held with Governor Frantz, Representative-elect B. s. Mcclure, Cash Cade, national committeeman, and the state chairman Charles Hunter. There was no differ ence of opinion over any of the candi- dates except Marshal Porter. Mir. Mo Guire indorsed Oscar w. Wells. of Ardmore for the marshalship. It is believed, however, that Porter will get tpe place. The contests over the jidgeship appointments in both dis. tfcts were simplified by the elimina- ton of some of the candidates. The indications now are that all of the candidates in the Eastern district have been dropped except Judge Dickerson and Ralph Campbell. of McAlester. md Dickerson's chances are regarded
 better tan those of Campbell
 'ampbell was formally indorsed by Gov. Frantz. It was said Monday that Judge Luman Parker was no longer under consideration and that his friends had been so notified.

CAPTURED BY clNNBALS
Awful Fate of crsw of American Vessel En- Route 10 Philip
 pine Islands.
WRECKED OFF TERRA DEL FuEGO COAST
The Big Sailing Ship Arthur sewall Left Philadelphia April 3. Coal La. den, and Her Crew of 40 Men Are Thought to Have Been Eaten by Their Captors.

New York. Oct. 31.--Eaten by can nibals was probably the fate of the crew of 40 sailors that took the biz sailing ship Arthur Sewell out of Phil adelphia April on the start of her long voyage to carry coal to the Phil ippines.
 Word has just been received at the nlaratime exchange that the vessel was wrecked near Terra Del Fuego and all signs point to the survivors having been captured by the cannibals that infest tho island in that vicinity.
 news of the wreck and the almost
 aln fate of the crew came from
 sealing steamer Fridthjof.
 since the Arthur Sewell sailed not
 word was received regarding her ntil letter came Wednesday from the Norwegian sealer. The Sewells first stopping point was to have been Seattle
 The 'Fridthjof reports that on Aug ust %, while cruising near the south east headland of Noir island. half way between Cape Pillar and Cape Horn the lookout reported derelict ahead. The derelict proved to be four masted rigged ship that In every way answered the description of the Sew, ell.
 As the wreck was evidently very re- cent. the Fridthjof's captain made in. vestigation in the hope of discovering some of tho possible survivors On the shores of Noir island landing party from the Norwegian vessel dis covered traces proving that consid. erable party from the wreck had made It's way to land. The trail lead away from the beach.
 The sailors from the Fridthjof fol lowed the trail as far as they could make 1t out. but finally had to aban- don the search owing to the danger from the cannibals that inhabit the island. The natives on tho island In that part of the sea are cannibals of the fiercest kind and shipwrecked sailors could have little hope of escap. ing from them.
 In the hope of discovering some thing more about the fate of the ship and her crew divers with strong party have been sent to Noir island
