THIS is MY 9th slRTHpAY.v

Brig.-Gen. Richard Henry Pratt. U.
S. A.. retired, the originator and foun-
der Of the famous Carlisle school for
Indians, was born i'm Rushford, N Y,
December 6, 1910, and served i'm a regi-
ment of Indiana volunteers during the
civil war. He came out of the war a
captain, and was appointed to the reg
ular establishment, in which he rose
from grade to grade until his retire
ment five years ago. His early SER
vice in the regulars was hunting the
Indians in the southwest, and by this
occupation he came TO take a deep in
terest i'm the Indian problem. When a
lot of Indian prisoners were ordered TO
be taken from Fort Sill to the old fort
at st. Augustine. Fla. Col. Pratt was
detailed as commander of their guard
and then ordered to command the old
fort to which they were taken. This
experience Increased his interest I'm the
red man and soon afterward he sug-
gested to the government the organic
alton of an industrial school for In
dams. When the school was opened at
Carlisle Pa, in 1879 he was made its
superintendent and remained i'm that
position until his retirement from the
army thirty-five years later.

A CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.

| Congress conVenes today. The pres
/ idents message, which will be read
tomorrow, instead of being left sub
/ ject of speculation. has been outlined
I i'm advance so that private Informal
ton concerning il will not avail to
manipulate the stock market. This is
good thing, and i'm many of its rec
commentators. as wei as I'm the
tactful manner i'm which they are pre-
scented the message is likely To be re-
| ceived as a model of what such doeu-
ments should be.
on the question OF whether or not
there should be a congressional inves-
\ tigation of the trust issue. especially
of the gigantic speculations of the SUI
gar trust. il is not likely that the
president will have anything to say
except that the government is prose-
cutting the trusts. Indeed IL is-and
il is securing results by itsi policy
that are causing the trusts more anxi-
ETY. than would knowledge on their part
that a government investigation is
imminent.
Financial legislation of Importance
is not to be expected at the approach
ing session of Congress. Certainly
there will be nothing so innovatory as
the authorization of a great central
bank. The general understanding is
now that the subject will not come up
at this session-that the monetary
commission is not ready to report con-
illusions. and has not agreed upon re-
commenting a central note issuing in
stitution. though the attitude of the
chairman of the commission on that
subject is now well known. The put
ting Of financial legislation over to a
later date will leave a clearer field for
other matters.
Important recommendations will be
made by the heads of the army and
navy departments. Secretary Meyer
is for a simplification of the cumbrous
machinery OF the navy department that
should commend itself to everyone de-
string the efficiency of that arm of
the military power of the nation. Red
tape entanglements. which prevent
prompt transaction of business. are bad
enough in time of peace but may be
disastrous in time of war. Secretary
Meyer has given thought to the subject
and il is to be hoped that his recon-
mendations will be made the basis of
legislation.
The Nicaraguan complication is
likely at the outset of the session to
afford a subject for imprisoned de-
bate. War is always an exciting
theme. But Nicaragua is small pota
toes. and more important though less
exciting subject pertaining to the
countries foreign relations is the pro-
vision by the United States of build
ings TO house its embassies abroad.

Little Giants Win Again.

The Little Giants on Sunday after
noon again demonstrated that they are
the fastest amateur aggregation in
southern Iowa by defeating the base
ball team from George w. Sewers
town of Hooking, in a one-sided and
loosely played contest by the score OF
'13 to 5. The lads from the big mining
camp south of Abba were no match for
the locals and they admitted that 1t
was the worst defeat they have suffer
ed this season. If there is a god OF
Good Luck, we will admit that he was
sitting on the locals bench, as three
balls lost in the weeds gave Oskaloosa
two home runs, resulting in five scores,
( Clay Long, the lad with the smile
that won't come off, was in the cen
ter of the infield for Oskaloosa and as
always he pitched a pretty game of
ball. Up to the fifth inning he held
Hooking to a single hit, but he let up
in the sixth session and they got three
scores. Although Oskaloosa made four
errors they were not at critical times
and with the hard hitting of his team
mates and his own two singles, Long
put the game ON the right side of the
column.
Babe" Phoenix, who was twirler
on the Oskaloosa team the first season
of the Iowa League when the club
was managed by "Bill" 'Tiley, was on
the firing line for Hooking. He twirl-
ed fairly good game until his support
got weak, and when three or the balls
were lost in outfield, allowing five tai
lies, he got mad and refused to pitch
any more of the game. Montgomery,
lanky youth, finished the game and
was touched up for several hits.
Rockefeller, another old Oskaloosa
player, did the receiving for Hooking,
and by his clever work behind the bat
and with the stick, proved himself the
best OF the Hooking players. The
game was witnessed by good sized
crowd and those who like to see a
game where many scores are made
got their moneys worth.

NINETEEN WERE DROWNED
THE WHARF ON LAKE PONCHAR-
TRAIN SUDDENLY SINKS.
One Hundred and Fifty New Orleans
Excursionists Were PrecIpitated
Into Water.

New Orleans, June Nineteen peo-
pie were killed and many others in
jured, by the collapse of the wharf at
Vaudeville station on Lake Ponchar-
train last night. Ten of the drowned
had been recovered up to noon today,
the other nine bodies being still in
the water. One hundred and fifty eX-
cursionists had gathered at the pier,
waiting to board a steamer for their
return to New Orleans. The vessel
bumped into the pier which collapsed,
throwing most of the crowd into the
water. A panic followed, and several
heroic rescues were made by members
of the vessels crew and others who
kept their wits. .r...... .,....
Fifteen people were seriously wound
ed and forty others were hurt. Peo-
pie who saw the accident declare that
the steamer was coming at full speed
and struck the wharf a terrific blow.
This in the back pressed forward when
the steamer struck and forced those
on the edge OF the wharf into the wat
Ell. AS soon as the nature of the ac-
cident was realized, work of rescue be-
gan. More than a hundred fell in the
water. Life boats were lowered from
the steamer and ten minutes later the
work of rescue was over Seventy-five
of those who had fallen into the wat
er were taken out. A few of the 9TH
ers saved themselves. Four little girls
and one boy were crushed to death in
the collapse of the wharf. The other
victims were drowned. Fifteen OF the
injured are girls. 1t is declared that
all bodies cannot be recovered until
the debris of the wreck is cleared
away.
