TO PLEAD FOR PAPo0SE.
Indians Will Ask White Father for
Land for Recent Arrivals.

Indians Will Ask White Father for
Land for Recent Arrivals.
Washington is soon to be visited by
one of the most imposing and promi-
nent Indian delegations in recent years.
1t will be composed entirely of Usage
chiefs and official interpreters, and
while they will protest when there
against the removal of restrictions on
the sale of Indian lands, their principal
mission is one which TO the tribe itself
Is of far greater importance-the pres
entation of a request that all Indian
babies born during the past half year
be permitted to share in the land al
lotments.
The delegation of chiefs will be COM
posed of ten members, in addition to
the interpreters. Black Dog, the In
dian member of the alloting commits
sion; Brave, the assistant chief of the
tribe; Bacon Rind and O-lo-hah- wal-la,
also ex-chiefs, will be on the delega-
ton, as they are among the most infiu-
entail with Washington officials. The
full-blood council will elect the ten
and name the interpreter who will ac-
company them.
Black Dog is perhaps the most con-
spicuous of Usage Indians. Among the
whites he is regarded as the states
man of the tribe, and he was selected
by the Indian Department as the In
dian member of the alloting commits
sion. He was a Confederate soldier,
participating in many battles, but no
soldier OF the Southern armies was ever
more thoroughly reconstructed.
In addition to the Osages, the Chey-
ennes will also send strong delega-
ton to Washington in the near flu
ture, with Paul Boyton, Carlisle
graduate, as interpreter. Chief Washee.
Of the Cheyennes, is selecting num-
Der of prominent tribesmen to accom-

Nothing is more fatal to friendly re-

of 100000 to drive the European

cause among other things we have
learned recently is that the United
States is the only nation on earth
with conscience" The journalist
talked on "China's possibility, the
church's responsibility" and he inter
posed his address with epigrams and
figures of true Chinese terseness.
China" he continued, 'is Just
| awakening from her slumber and she
is getting ready to go to arms. When
she does she will send Germany
France, England, Russia and other
robbing and thieving nations home in
hurry. If Russia ever tries again
to grab any Chinese territory we will
fill her full of CORY holes-just as
Japan did. China is destined to be

The following brings into striking
contrast the two extreme phases of
social life:
While standing in front of a down
town store few days ago a very
nice turnout drove up to the curb, a
lady alighted and with her a pug
dog with a very nice, warm blanket
on and on it's feet it had very pretty
boots. The writer could not help
noticing the contrast between the
dog and a couple of small children
looking in the large windows at the
nice things in the store. The dog
robed in all the luxury of life and
two human beings with hardly any
shoes on their feet and Just enough
clothing to cover their bodies. These
are common sights that you may see
most any day on State street. This

Dying in Pueblo-His
Career,

In the Work sanitarium of this
city there lies at the point of death
Joseph Palmer, gun man and at one
! time "Soapy' Smiths right han l
bower. He Is better known as "Old
Joe" Palmer The aged man has
been marked by the physicians for
but short time more on this earth
His death, which the physicians state
is a matter of but few weeks at the
most, will mark the passing on one

Creede and Cripple Creek. He is
one of the best known men of that
time, and has a reputation of being g
game "clear through"
Since his confinement in the insti-
tuition as the result of being adjudg-
ed mentally unbalanced, the relic of
the fighting days of Colorado mining
camps has continued to fail. The
muscles of his throat are paralyzed
and paresis is slowly, but surely do
ing the rest.
At the time the man was found in
sane, his outward appearances gave
little indication of his condition. His
rich chestnut hair was thick and he
seemed a much younger man than
he was. except for the lack of life in
his eyes.
Both of the aged mans thumbs
are missing. There are many tales
told of how he lost them. One of the
most popular is to the effect that
Palmer started to drive Texan from
the Creede camp, and the man turn
ed on him and fired a shot which
took off his right thumb. Palmer
| quickly transferred the gun to the
other hand and began shooting. Then
| the Texan took off the other thumb.
well shoot me then, you blankety,
blank" shouted Palmer, according to
| the story.
81 don't shoot game men, retort-
ed the Texan and turned on his heel.
Another version which is said to
be the true one is that Palmer was
the collector of the "bank rolls"
from six large gambling houses run
by "Soapy" Smith in Creede. Palm
er's duty was to collect the money
from each place and count it about
midnight every day. There was no
bank at that time, and the cash was
placed in a large safe. 1t took a
bank roll of 100000 a day to run
the places. Palmer, with his two
guards had taken the money from
four places and was about to enter
the next one when the New Orleans
Kid" (the Texan) and two compan-
ions intent upon robbery, confronted
him. Without a word the Texan
fired. Palmer's right thumb was shot
off. He dropped the bag of gold and
without word pulled his gun. A
| second bullet from the Texans gun
tore Palmer's left thumb away and
penetrated his body. Palmer says
that by that time everyone except
him and the Texan had run. 81 pull
ed the trigger and let him have it

Beckham, while he was governor,
did more for the cause of temperance
than any man who has held the gov
ernor's chair in the history of the
Blue Grass state, yet the temperance
element apparently "knifed" the gov
ernor during the recent state cam
paign by defeating his ticket. Gov,
Beckham gave the temperance peo-
pie the county unit law that is re-
sponsible for nearly all of the coun-
ties in Kentucky being dry today.
Now there is bill before the leg
islature to extend the provisions of
the county unit local option prohibi-
ton law to all of the counties of the
state. Ex-Governor Beckham and
the members of the legislature who
are friendly to him are for this bill.
The Republican members, In spite OF
a declaration favoring certain forms
of prohibition in their state platform
are almost solidly against this BILL.
1t has developed, according to reli-
able dispatches, that the Republicans
have entered an agreement with
few so-called liquor Democrats. to
deliver 40 votes to delay the prohi-
bition bill in exchange for four votes
from the minority Anti-Beckham
Democrats to unseat two Democratic
representatives, thus putting Brad
ley, the Republican candidate for
senator, within three votes of cleo
ton On the day this charge was
first made 40 Republicans voted to
delay and defeat the temperance bill
and this action is regarded as PROOF
of the truthfulness of the charge.
There seems to be a strong probab-
ility that the Republican members
and the Anti-Beckham Democrats
will succeed in defeating this meas
ure.
Ex-Governor Beckham needs just
two more votes to elect him.
