Reveals the future, eh?" said the
professor, thinking OF Miss Smith.
Let's see?" He turned the ring.
Instantly he was out OF the shop
and travelling at breakneck speed to-
ward Miss Smiths house five miles
away. He was there in q couple OF
seconds and in the parlor. 'Will you
be my wife, Virginia?" he heard him
self saying Yes, dearest" replied
Miss Smith, sinking her head upon
his shoulder Something hit him be
hind the ear. II was an old shoe

their honeymoon. Then they were
back, and, quicker than thought, a sue
cession Of events rushed past. Its

old. white-haired man with senility
I hurrying upon him. He was stretched
out on his bed. never to rise from 1t.
Death was approaching. Only the
ring could save him. He felt for IL
feebly.
It's strange how dear father loves
that old Chinese ring" he heard his
eldest daughter say. Guide his
fingers to It." Very feebly the pro-
fessor felt for 1t. and, with his last eff
fort, turned IL.
Instantly time was reversed. His
hair turned brown; his children be-
gan to grow smaller before his eyes.

front door; everything swan before
his eyes, and he opened them, to find
himself in the book room OF the
Chinese laundryman's shop, which
was filed with an overpowering
aroma. Everything was Keeling be-
fore his unsteady gaze, and All Win
was shaking him by the shoulder. The
professor was twirling something In
his hand. He looked at It. II was a
laundry ticket.
What is it?" he cried.

Iimpassively. You smell him opium.
No good for white man: only good

he stopped dead. his face afame with

nearl, s45. 900 was found today in
the existing revenue laws. by Repre-
sentative Dawson. of Iowa. who at
once introduced a bill to correct the
error by restoring tobacco packages to
their original sizes.
Under the Dingley tariff. the two
ounce packages of tobacco sell to the
consumer at five cents each, and the
four ounce packages for ten cents. In
1898 a war revenue tax Of six cents
a pound additional was levied. At the
same time. in order to serve the con-
venience Of the trade. authorization
was given for the reduction of the
sizes of packages from 2. and 4
ounces. to 2-3. 2 1-3 and 3 1-3
ounces. thus enabling the smoker to
procure a five cent adm a ten cent
package Of tobacco at the store The

the packages Of tobacco remained the
same size. Since 1902. the consumer
of tobacco has been paying the equiv

Jail at Muskogee at daybreak. Crazy
Snake is badly wounded in the thigh
Nine prisoners were taken to Musko-
gee tonight and placed in Jail and

prevails among the Seminole red men
in the vicinity of Kaldenville because
of the arrest of one of their number
Frank Coker. charged with the killing
of Marshal Baum and Deputy OdOm,
during the fight at Snakes house on
Saturday. People in that district are
badly frightened over the report that
the Seminoles are arming to join
Snakes band. Negro agitatOrs are
working among the Indians.

military officers had admitted unof-
ficially that thirteen negroes and In
dians had ibeen killed since Thursday.
Thomas Watson. a prominent citizen
of Sapulpa, said today that the bodies
of nearly thirty negroes had been
found near the scene of the original
disturbance, near Crazy Snakes home.
Deputy Sheriffs Frank Jones and
William Charge told a staff cores
pondent of the Daily Oklahoman that
they had good reason to believe that
more than Marshal Baum and Deputy
Odom were killed in Saturdays fight
While digging in the ashes in the
debris of the razed home of Crazy

and Clarke investigated and were

THE COFFEE SCHEDULE.

Washington, ID. c., March 30.-Rec
ognizing that Brazil Is powerless to
suspend her expert tax on coffee be-
cause the tax is indissolubly linked
with her foreign debt. the senate COM
mittee on finance decided today to
strike out Of the Payne bill the coun-
tervailing duty PROPOSED. The mem
bers of the committee said if the Payne
resolution We're adopted it would have
the effect of placing d duty on coffee
imported from Brazil equal to the ex-
port tax assessed by that country and
the consumer would be compelled to
pay the difference in cost.
Incidentally the senate committee is
seeking information about the alleged
American syndicate credited with hav-
ing 100000 bags Of coffee in storage
to be held for a rise in price. which it
is believed would follow the passage
of the Payne bill in the present form.
A member of the committee said to-
night that no fortunes would be made
by the members of a syndicate at the
expense of the American breakfast
table if the committee could prevent it.
