Booth Lowrey Gives virequa People
Talk Long to Be Remembered.

Booth Lowrey, the southern lecturer,
gave a lecture at the Congregational
church Sunday evening on the subject
of 'fUndeveloped People. The CEN
soR has no hesitancy in saying that Mr..
Lowrey's lecture was one of the most
helpful and practical, and at the same
time interesting. that has been delivered
in this city for many day. Mr.. Lowrey
is firm believer in the education OF the
body as we'll as the MIND, and his sug-
gestions and hints as to the proper care
of the physical were much appreciated.
Mr.. Lowrey made startling but true
statements regarding the ignorance OF
the human race in the proper develop
ment of the body. While he believes
it is right to spend the large sums OF
money each year in the training of our
ehildren's minds, he thinks the young
growing generations should be thor
oughly instructed in the care and de-
velopment of the body. He is brim full
of funny stories which were thrown in
with the more serious thoughts, holding
the audience for al hour and half
without person getting tired or dis
interested. On the evening previous
he gave his audience pure humor in a
lecture entitled "Simon Says Wig Wag.
Both audiences were much too small
for the quality of the lectures. With
out doubt, Viroqua will greet Mr.. Low
rey with a packed house if he ever
makes his appearance in this city in the
future.

Don't be a Wilmer.

There isn't anything in the world more
disagreeable than a whining person.
He whines if it is cold. He whines at
this, he whines at that, he whines at
everything Whine, whine, whine. 1t
is just habit he has fallen into. There
is nothing the matter with him. 1t Is
just bad habit. The wilmer is usually
an idle OF lazy person. What he needs
is to be set to work at real hard work,
mental or physical. Some work that
will interest him and engage his whole
attention, and he will not have time to
whine Get the whine out of your
voice or it will stop the development
and growth of your body. 1t will make
you unpopular. Just quit your whining
and 90 to work

The Card Catalogue.

Since the work on the catalogue at
the public library has been begun, many
questions have been asked as to its
value and necessity. A few words of
explanation may be of interest to the
patrons of the library.
A good catalogue is essential in the
intelligent use of a library. 1t is the
one method of making each book yield
its greatest possible value and provides
a clear record of the disability of each
book when it is out, as it should be
most of the time. 1t is an accurate,
simple, and up-to-date means OF k ow-
ing the resources of your librarY on
any point likely to be sought fog n
your own town. Each book in II !
brary is represented by an author
and a title card and by as many su il t
cards as the contents of the book re-
quires. These cards ars filed alph aae'-
ically like the words in a dictionarl ]
therefore it is called dictionary - j
catalogue.
When finished the catalogue will =
wer the following questions?

MAY LEASE THE
 MINERAL GROUND
 ON RESERVATIONS
INDIAN BUREAU WORKING WITH CONGRESS FOR PASSAGE OF
 BILL TO THAT END.
CLAIM OWNERS ON COLORADO RESERVATION FORGED TO FOR FEET THEIR CLAIM BY RULING or THE DEPARTMENT.

If bill now pending in congress, which is referred to in letter recently received at Governor Kibbey's office from Francis F. Leupp, commissioner of Indian affairs, passes all the mineral lands in the Indian reservations of Ari. zona will be thrown open to leasers.
 Leupp's letter to Kibbey, while it brings displeasing news to Arizonans who hold mining claims in the Colorado Indian reservation, indicates that they will not be deprived of their rights should the pending bill pass congress.
 Recently mining men who hold claims in 100 square miles of territory recent ly added by President Roosevelt s proc lamation to the Colorado reservation, petitioned Secretary of Interior Garfield through. Governor Kibbey for redress.
 They set forth that their mineral claims had been included in the reserva. tion subsequent to Roosevelt s proclaim ation, and that if nothing was done in their behalf, they would be deprived of their rights.
 Garfield referred the petition to Com. missioner Leupp, who has been in Ar;- zona and is we'll acquainted with the In his letter to Governor Kibbey MT. Leupp says that there is no manner in which to protect the rights of the petitioners, and that they must forfeit their mining claims.
 Leupp refers to decisions which have held that when presidents 8 proclama- tion creates reservation, he cannot amend the boundaries nor change the conditions, congress being the only tribunal that has authority to make any changes or notifications.
 Leupp states that the Indian bureau is working for the passage of the bill now pending, which provides that min eral lands shall be leased and the reve- nue go for the support of the Indians ins: de whose reservations the lands are located.
 Should this bill pass, it will be the means of opening up much right mining territory in Arizona from which the prospeetor is now barred by reason of the law which prohibits the location or development of mining claims in Indian reservations.
 Especially in the Colorado and Nav aio Indian reservations of Arizona is il believed that there are valuable min eral deposits which have never been prospected for the reason that the law prohibits work in that direction. Should the law pass, the claim hold CTS inside the Colorado reservation will probably be given the first chance tc lease the mineral lands they are now forced to forfeit.
