IT IS A SHAME

l0 pdptIS HUH tuC iloi LII Soh tain much of late in regard to the condition of the natives of the Tan ana section. These Indians make it practice each summer to pre- pare for winter by drying salmon, but the run of fish was so small during the past summer that few of the natives procured sufficient quantity to carry them through the long winter; and the reports would indicate that there would be much suffering from hunger, and proba- bly, starvation among those tribes this winter.
 It is indeed deplorable that while the tribes of the states-which have cost the government millions of dollars and hundreds of good sol diers-are living in dolce far nien- te, supplied with everything to keep their tables well supplied with food and plenty of warm clothing on their bodies, these tribes of Alaskan Indians-whQ are aR ip- dustrious and peaceable people that have never given trouble by mak- ing warfare CD the Ehites--are per mitted to suffer for the bare neces- sities of life.
 The Indian reservations in the states comprise the very choicest of land. upon which the white man is not allowed to settle, or even to hunt or fish. All the Indians are allotted land and furnished with lumber, brick, nails and paint with which to build good, comfortable modern houses. They are allowed food in the same quantity and of the same quality as is supplied to the soldiers of the U. s. army. They are also supplied with horses and farming implements free ot any cost. These gifts are the Indians recompense for waging war after war and conducting massacre after massacre,
 In Alaska there are no reserva- tions for the Indians, They are not furnished one single item, unr less one considers a meagre school ing a gift, Everything the Alaska native gets he must work for, and at the hardest and most disagree able work, Not only this, but the white man has enoroached upon his trapping, hunting and fishing grounds until there are scant sup plies of fur animals, game and fish. These Indians are not even allowed to extract the natural mineral wealth of their native land.
 The lot of the Alaskan Indian is indeed 8 hare one, and it is to be sincerely hoped that our govern ment will find a way to lend the suffering northern tribes a helping hand before it is too late,

JESSE STOVALL.
GEO. STOVALL.

The record of the Delehanty fam
lily, with six brothers in profession
al base ball-Ed. Jim, Frank, Joe,
Tom and Wlllie-probably will
never be equaled. There are many
cases today of two brothers in the
game, the NOSE notable of which
are the Tannehills, Jesse and Lee;
the Hemphills. Charley and Frank;
and the Clarkes. Fred and Josh.
But beyond two the ability to fol
low the game successfully seldom
runs in family.
The three Stovall brothers, who
hail from Burlington, Ia, are not
only all in professional base ball,
two of them in fast company, but
they are notable tor the fact that
all three are heavy hitters.
Geo. Stovall is first baseman for
Cleveland in the American league.
He has been good sticker almost
all OF the four years he has been
with the team, the only exception
being slump in the latter part of
1907. This season he has hit bet
ter than ever before. and his bat
figured in big per cent of Cleve-
lands runs. He is fairly good
fielder and uses excellent Judgment

returns to the effect he had de.
stroyed certain Illicit stills. when in
reality he had protected them.
Judge Boyd sentenced Davis to
IL months in the penitentiary, and
imposed fine of $1,000. In doing
so the court was moved to use
scathing language. He said there
was no doubt that Davis was the
leader Of the band of revenue
agents-appointees of the machine
that had aroused the deserved
wrath of the people of the state by
their misdeeds.
After adjournment the court was
approached in chambers by the con-
victed mans attorney. The latter
represented his client had consid-
cradle business interests. He asked
that Davis be given 30 days to wind
them up before entering the peni-
Tertiary. Judge Boyd was still in
clined to be severe in his attitude
toward Davis, but acquiesced.

INTIMATE CORRESPONDENCE
FROM WASHINGTON By RATH

The bill to give publicity to
campaign contributions has caused
lot of trouble to Speaker Cannon
and the rest. Once it almost es-
capped from the committee. and was
only prevented by a sudden, if not
violent, illness. which caused two
republicans to leave the committee
room and thus break quorum.
And now the committee has con-
cluded that: The publicity of
campaign contributions. as affect
ing national elections, has for sew
eral years excited considerable dis
cussion. There is no doubt but
what there is a general demand tor
some measure that would give pub
licity to such contributions.
Therefore, the committee has con-
cluded to recommend change in
the scheme so that contributions
must be made public where they
are made for the purpose of in
fluencing congressional elections in
more than one state"

SAM STOVALL.

Jesse Stovall is a pitcher. He
broke into the majors with Cleve-
land several years ago, and went
from there to Detroit. He couldn't
win for the Tigers, though he pitch
ed good ball. being what is known
as hard luck" twirler. He was
bought by Louisville, in the Ameri-
can association. largely for his hit
ting ability. as he had always
banged the ball hard for Detroit.
For awhile he was played in the
Louisville outfield, for his batting,
but, being called on to pitch, he
showed that he still had the goods,
and is again regular hurler Re-
Gently he pitched nO-run no-hit
game against Minneapolis, Major
league managers, in consequence,
are again keeping tab of Jesse.
Sam Stovall. right fielder of the
San Antonio team, Is one of the
leading batters of the Texas league.
Last year he hit .291. This season
he has started out at a hot pace
with the stick. Already he has
more than a dozen home runs to
his credit. He is good fielder. and
ought to break into faster company
! some day.

Davis left the hospital the next
day. His cell at the penitentiary
has never been occupied.
Deputy Collector j. w. Hasty,
representing the machine in Union
county, and indicted with Davis,
tainted in the court after strong
case had been developed against

A showing was made that Hasty
was dangerously Ill, and the court.

his hand on defendant, ordered
mistrial. Hasty took a train for
home next day. his health has
been good since.
Judge Boyd took pity on Deputy
Collector r. H. Harden, machine
politician of Ashe county, after a
jury had found him guilty of the
same crime, for which the law de-
manded a minimum punishment of
a $1,000 fine or six months impris-
onment, and released him on pay
ment of $500 fine. Harden had
lost 3 year old child some time
