When suffering so, try Doan's Kid

in Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. which
I obtained at the HOLSTER Drug Cos

a form of application for recording,

Answering Mr.. Harrington, the su-

done well by the department They
had all they asked for on teachers
salaries. They had nearly all in cur
rent expenditures, their general ex-
penses having been cut from $4,000 10
$500. The summer school was cut
out.
For repairs and maintenance only the
item for Maui, Molokai and Lanai
was cut. Oahu had s29.5oo.
There was nothing whatever out OF

had been given TO understand no men

Expert Firemanship.

A couple of Americans were inspect
Ing an English fire station. One Of
them, addressing the chief engineer,
said
'Do you know, in New York we use
a nine-inch hose, not a paltry three
inch, such as you have here?"
'Oh," replied the chief engineer.
''that small hose is for watering the
station; this twelve-inch hose is what
we use at fires. Besides, it saves tho
use of fire escape, for when we want
to send man up to the top of build
ing we just place him on the top Of the
hose, turn the water on, and he is up
Their is no time!"
"Yes," remarked one Of the visitors,
"but how does he get down again?'

LocATIoN LANDS WHICH OPENED no sErTLEMENr

Former difficulties and dangers in Sc
curing Uncle Sans lands have been
eliminated and it is now rather
pleasant experience to take a chance
on quarter section farm
The method of registration and allot-
ment by drawing instead of the old
pell-mell rush gives everybody a
show. Under this deal an unaccom-
panied woman may register without
embarrassment and has the same
chance as a man in securing the best
prizes in the reservation. In some of
the recent openings women have drawn
splendid lands near the sites Of towns
which made their quarter sections
worth small fortunes.
The Brule Is member of the great
Sioux tribe, the most numerous and
powerful of the Western nations.
fierce individually as the Apache or
Ute, he was collectively stronger and
was the last to be subdued. In spite
of this condition the Sioux has In re-
cent years shown probably more Of
disposition to make his living out of
the land given him than many Of the
other tribes
The Brule reservation contains S.
$50 acres. School facilities are pro-
vided in Withholding certain sections
by the government. With its opening
another Swan song was sung by the
original American. This marks an adj
ditional act in the process of elimina-
ticn Of the Indian and is one of the
last of his plots OF land to be given
over to civilization.
Government surveyors are now busy
In other reservations, but 1t will re-
quire some time to complete the work.

Rush TO GIT LANDS.
LOWER BRULE RESERVATION
THROWN. OPEN.
In south Dakota--Tive Million
Acres More Await Homeseekers in
Indian Reservations.

Uncle Sam is planning to distribute
during the coming year nearly 100000
acres of land among about $4,000 home
seekers. This Will be the biggest dis
tribution made by the Uni.ad States
government since Oklahoma was open
ed for settlement The land is situated
on eight different Indian reservations
in four States. Nearly all OF it is re-
garded as first-class Tor farming pur-
poses.
1t has been decided to open all of the
tracts by the lottery system. The reser-
vations, with their acreage, follow !;
Lower Brule, South Dal.yta, $4,000
acres; Flathead, Montana, 100000
acres; Blackfeet, Montana, 100000
acres; Occur d'Alene, Idaho, $4,000
acros Semhi, Idaho, G40OO acres; va
kima, Washington, 1,145,QOO acres; Col
vile, Washington, 100000 acres
Divided into tracts Of 160 acres the
total would provide 30,691 homesteads.
But the homesteads in some Of the
reservations will be limited to forty
acres EACH so this will bring the total
number of farms close to $4,000. The
forty-acre homesteads will be in recla-
nation districts, and will be under
government irrigation.
The first reservation opened was the
Lower Brule, and hundreds of home
seekers filed applications for lottery
tickets in the big drawing which took
place at Pierre, S. d. The land has
been appraised at from $1.25 to 81 an
acre, to be paid in annual installments
A feature of the Brule Reservation
Is that it already is surrounded by
cities and farms Of modern civilization,

The new eight-hour child labor law,
which went into effect in New York State
Oct. 1, will have an important bearing
on the children of the State, as it Is es-

replies to an attack made iI the Fedora
ZIONIST by Sampel Gompers, president Of
the American Federation of Labor, where
in he referred to the 100000 a year
which the manufacturers are to raise as
''war fund to crush the unions" The
reply in question ridicules the idea that
war of determination is to be waged
upon organized labor, and quotes from its
resolutions adopted in 1868 as follows:
The National Association of Manufac-
turers is not opposed to organizations Of
labor as such, but is unalterably opposed
to boycotts, blacklists and other illegal
acts of interference with the personal lib
erty of employer and employee. No per-
son should bc refused employment or in
any way Disseminated against on account
Of membership or non-membership in any
labor organization, and there should be
no discrimination against or interference
with any employee not member of Ia
Dor organization by member of such or

More than Six Hundred Hurt and
Scores of Others May Die.
DESTRUCTION IS WIDESPREAD.
Mysterious Blasts Ruin Village and
Spread Death and Injury.

Forty or more persons dead, almost
as many fatally burned or hurt, 600
others injured more or less seriously,
and prosperous town leveled to the
earth-such was the harvest of
series Of terrifying explosions at the
Du Pont blasting powder mills near
Fontanet, Ind, Tuesday morning.
After the explosions, which followed
one another with frightful effect, came
fire, and what the one horror left I'M
done the other completed. Thus, many
people who might have been dragged
from the ruins and revived were the
victims Of the flames. How many
bodies have been moderated is mat
ter OF guesswork but twelve hours
after the catastrophe the fatalities
were believed to be below fifty. The
worst explosion came when 10000 kegs
of powder blew up.
Governor Hanly and a detachment
of the Indiana National Guard at once
took control of the death camp. Sol
diers paced up anu down the wreck
crammed streets. In and about the
smoking ruins OF the great powder
plant privates in the ranks i'll detach-
ments endeavored to discover the re-
mains of unknown victims. Scores Of
women and children whose husbands
and fathers were missing were in the
background, anxiously awaiting word
from the relief corps.

Island City tube under the East river,
when August Belmont, who financed the
undertaking, acted as conductor OF the
car containing the officials connected with
the work and members of the public SER
vice commission. Superintendent of Mo-
tive Power Banghard was the motorman.
The car went from Third avenue and For
ty-second street, Manhattan, to Jackson
avenue and Fourth street, Queens, in four
minutes. This is a reduction of AT least
thirty minutes in the time between these
two points under the old conditions Of
transit.
In general appearance the tube is sim
liar TO an ordinary city subway, being
perfectly dry, well lighted and equipped
with heavy rails and modern signal sys-
tenn. The cars are of the regulation type,
operated by trolley poles. The atmos-
phere is from 10 to 10 degrees cooler
than on the surface of the street. As
the car nearly fills the tube, it acts as
piston, pushing the air out in front
and drawing fresh supply after it.
