HAS CHARGE OF
INDIAN SCHOOLS
Hlss Reel Looks After Govern
ment's Wards and Is
Successful.

Miss Estelle Reel ts woman who
ia doing great work In the United
states. She is and has been for IL
years superintendent of Indian
,chools for the United States. The
,aet that she has served under DIFF
ierent secretaries of the interior de-
uartment and commissioners Of In
dian affairs is a guarantee that her
FORK has been satisfactory, says the
cleveland Plain Dealer.
Miss Reel is a woman who can do
mans work in a woman's way, and
hat is why she has been SO success
mi. She can take care of herself.
4 courageous and hardy. She has
travelled many miles on horseback,
kinks it no great hardship to ride
iorty or fifty miles day, sleep in
her riding chaps" when she has to,
and accepting the inconvenience OF
he frontier in a cheerful mood. For
her protection she has relied upon
her own good sense and chivalric
manhood which is characteristic of
the men of the boundless west.
After finishing her education in st.
Louis and the east Miss Reel was ad-
used by physicians ia go to Wyoming
ia order to secure the benefits Of the
climate She became teacher and
the wonderful air of Wyoming made
her healthy and strong. She became
4 school teacher because she liked
the work, and was interested in that
instead of politics, although Wyom-
ing was a woman suffrage state.
She was living in Laramie county,
the largest county and the political
center of the state. One of her
friends was county superintendent of
the county, and as this friend hap
pened to be away about the time
there was agitation over county pol
tics Miss Reel felt it her duty to
0ok after the interests of her abb
sent friend She went to the county
chairman, asked him If her friend
vas to be reinstated and received a
negative reply.
why not?" demanded Miss Reel.
She has made a good superitnend-
snt and ought to be kept in the
place.
I'VE are going to nominate her
husband for a county Office and we
cannot have the whole family on the
ticket" was the reply.
81 do not see why" said Miss Reel.
Young woman, said the chair
man, severely, you don't know much
about politics"
Then who are you going to nomi-
nate for superintendent" asked Miss
Reel.
We're thinking of nominating
you" was the reply.
Her Introduction Into Politics.
That was Miss Reels introduction
INTO politics. When the convention
met another woman was placed in
nomination for the place and Miss
Keel was inclined to have her name
withdrawn, but her friends insisted
nat she should let it go to vote and
she was nominated by the majority
Of four.
Miss Reel was green in politics, as
one can readily see, but went into the
campaign and told the people what
ought to be done to improve the
Shools. In fact, she talked schools
instead of politics and the result was
her election by large majority. She
vas reelected.
During her services as county SUI
perlntendent of Laramie county she
aad the satisfaction of seeing many
Caanges. Most of the schools at the
Oeginning of her term were taught

She Makes Good"
Miss Reel was selected for super
intendent of Indian schools because
those who had observed her work as
county and state superintendent in
wyoming believed that she would
bring to the office the practical wo-
man sense which was needed to make
something Of Indian education. She
has not disappointed her friends. and
has given good satisfaction to the
government. She is absorbed in her
work and devotes her whole time to

year she Is out west among the res
ervation schools and on the reserva-
tons where there are no schools in
ducing the Indians to send their chill
dren to school somewhere.
Miss Reel does not believ in max
Ing white man of the Indian, but
thinks it best to educate him and let
him remain an Indian. She believes
in practical methods and teaches the
Indian English first and then gives
them an industrial training as well as
education in books She believes in
what Booker T. Washington is doing
for the negro and has adopted many
of the Tuskegee methods for Indian
schools.
Miss Reel is popular with the In
dams. She is known as the big
White Squaw from Washington. So
fond Of her are some of the Indians
that they are willing she should take
their children away, and one Indian
woman insisted that she should carry
a pair of fat pappoOses to President
Roosevelt. She does not have to
bride the Indians with promises and
presents to send their children to
school now. The Indians want their
children near them if possible and,
therefore, prefer reservation schools.
1T is very interesting work. said
Miss Reel. Nothing ! have ever

ton of the Indians"

SANTA FE WINS CASE.
Is Preferred Creditor of Devlin
Estate for $57 900.

Washington, April Elm an opinion
by Justice Brewer the supreme court
of the United States decided In favor
of the railroad company the case of
]. E. Hurley, and other trustees of the
Mount Carmel Coal company against
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company, involving deli
cate question of preference in bank
ruptcy.
The railroad was under contract to
take a given number of tons of coal a
day from the coal company and had
agreed to patronize the Mount Carmel
company exclusively on certain OF its
lines, and when in July and August
the coal company began to experience
difficulty in paying running expenses,
the railroad advanced $4,000 for that
purpose, with the understanding that
the debt should be satisfied by future
deliveries of coal. The coal company
had not, however. been able to per-
form it's share of the contract when
soon after the money was received IL
was forced into bankruptcy
The railroad company Immediately
took up it's claims to be treated as
preferred creditor. This claim the
trustees refused to recognize ana
when the matter was taken into the
United States district court of KAN
sas that tribunal endorsed the trus-
tees position, holding the loan trans
action to be entirely Independent OF
the original agreement to supply coal
to the railroad. The court of appeals
for the eighth circuit overruled the
trial court and today's decision up
held the court of appeals.

HAGERMAN MAKES GOOD.
Topeka Youth Joins Cubs and Wins
First Game With Ease.

a. z. Hagerman, the Topeka star of
last season, has finally seen fit to join
the Chicago Cubs, having reported at
Atlanta one day last week. Hager-
man had been pitching ball in Cuba
all last winter and was in proper con-
dition to go right in and work. His
first engagement was with the Atlanta
Southern league last Saturday. He
pitched the entire game and held the
Georgians to six scattered hits which
Melted but two runs. Four of the hits
were scratches and all were singles.
In addition Hagerman f1elded his posi-
ton in superb shape, handling seven
chances without an error. But list,
the greatest surprise is yet to come.
Rip cracked out a single driving in a
run.
The Chicago Record-Herald war
correspondent at Atlanta contributes
the following:
Performing in his initial role as a
member of the worlds championship
cast, Mr.. Zerat Zequiel Hagerman,
elongated slab artist, thrashed the At
lanta crackers in the getaway sketch
today by the score of 6 to 2. The SEN
sation of the Western association had
about everything which keen-eyed
scouts had ever discovered on the To-
peka patch and Smiths sluggers were
choked off with six measly singles.
49, Hagerman handled seven
chances and tore off a single. Twas
q gay premier for Chelita, as he was
known in Havana.

WHITE sox TOMORROW.
Comiskey's Second Team to Meet
Locals at Association Park.

Another exhibition game of interest
Is the one tomorrow, when Comiskey's
second team will play the Topeka
team on the local grounds. This is
not the team which will figure in the
american league championship, but
there are some of the regulars among
the number. Two of the pitchers,
Nick Altrock and Doc White, will be
seen at the local park. Altrock will
probably be given a chance to pitch
part of the game, and White would
be welcome sight on the mound. At
any rate Nick is a clever coach and
can spring some of the funniest stunts
ever seen on a diamond. He will en-
act some of these specialties even If
he does not work on the mound. Oc-
casionally Nick takes a turn at first
Fred Olmstead who pitched for the
Springfield team in the Western asso-
citation for two or three seasons is
with this aggregation and may. take
chance at the locals. Olmstead used
to be fruit for the Topeka team which
by the way was the only one who
could defeat him. Last season he was
with Des Moines in the Western
league.
With the team are two catchers-
Payne and Shaw. The tWirlers-any
one of whom may work against To-

uel Manuel was here last year, but
sat in the grandstand nursing sore
foot. The infield is composed of
Bean, Bader, Zeider and Purtell. Ba

with Des Moines last season. In the
outfield are Welday. Flanagan and
Dalton. Welday is well known in these
parts, having been with the Sedalia
and Joplin teams for several seasons.
He was with Minneapolis in 1908.

stone piers are being widened and the
massive iron trusses and girders are
being moved.
The piles for the temporary bridge
are now being driven in place.
While railway employees discuss the
matter with extreme caution, they
admit that the bridge is being widen
ed for no other purpose than to ac-
commodate a double track and it
seems probable that the much dis
cussed plan of. double tracking the
road from Topeka to Junction City is
soon to be carried out. W. o. Dunn.
the local agent. says that the bridge
extension is not being made to accom-
modate a side track and that a double
track from Topeka to Junction City
will undoubtedly be built some day,
but he said no orders had been given
out regarding the Improvement and
he would go no farther than to say
that 1t would be made within the next
ten or fifteen years.

Nervous
Prostitution

"I suffered so with Nervous
Prostration that I thought there
was no use trying to get well. A
friend recommended DIR. Miles
Nervine, and although skeptical
at first, I soon found myself re-
covering, and am to-day well"
MRS. D. I. JONES,
$500 Broadway, Cleveland, Q.
Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DIR. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DIR. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
