Best uncommemorated

A proposal by a Buffalo alderman
that the city purchase the spot on the
Pan-American exposition grounds
where President Mckinley was shot
On September 6, 1901, is vigorously
attacked by the Evening News. The
spot where Buffalo babe farewell to
all that was mortal of the murdered
president is in the possession of the
city" say the News. THAT is where
his coffin rested In the city hall, ON
the day Of his funeral, and the place
is suitably and permanently marked
by a brass tablet. There is nothing
to be proud of or to recall as an in
SEPARATION in the assassination. McKin-
ley is best remembered otherwise. 1t
is not best to give to the destructive
class, of which Czolgosz was a rep
resentative, any permanent memorial
of their Deeds"

OAK Nerve,

LAND SUITS KNOCKED OUT
Demurrers In Eastern Oklahoma Title
Cases Started by United States
Are Sustained.

Muskogee, Okla.-Judge Ralph
Campbell has sustained the demurrers
in the suits brought by the United
States to set aside various deeds n
leases made by citizen allottees in
the five civilized tribes in eastern Ok
,lahoma, and thus settled a legal con-
troversy that has been the OF
considerable concern in that part of
the state.
The court reviewed the relation OF
the United States to the five tribes
since they became a nation, and found
that no vestige Of title to the lands
allotted them now remains In the
United States. The demurrers involved
the question of the citizenship of these
Indians and the court declared them
to be citizens of the United States,
with all the rights, privileges and i'm
munities Of citizenship. 1t is held
that the United States can not main
tain these suits on the principle that
it sustains to the individual Indian
a trust relation, such guardianship be-
ing incompatible with citizenship, ma
tional and state.
Finally the bills were held bad be.
cause numerous defendants are Joined
in each bill who were connected with
many distinct transactions regarding
as many distinct tracts of land.

COUGHS UP A LIVE FROG
Kansas Carpenter Believes He sWal-
lowed PoIlywog While Drinking
at a Spring.

Wichita, Kas.-Arthur G. Valentine,
a carpenter, living in this city, vas
attacked by a severe fit of nausea
and emitted from his stomach
a live frog more than an inch in
length. For two years he has been
suffering from stomach trouble and
has been unable to get relief. He
thinks that while drinking water from
a spring on the farm on which he
lived prior to coming to Wichita he
took into his stomach a pollywog,
and 1t grew into a frog.
Physicians doubt the possibility Of a
pollywog living and growing in the
mans stomach, but Valentine has the
frog to show and member of the fam
lily attest the t~ruthfulness of his state
ment that he emitted it from his stom-
ach. He Ia now entirely relieved from
the pains he experienced formerly.

Lonq.Ranae "ouake Hunting"

Standing by the seismograph,
Charles F. Marvin, chief of the instru-
ment division of the weather bureau,
noted one day that the lines made
by the little tracing pencil indicated
a CONFUSION of the earth about 1000
miles from Washington. No reports
had been received for days after as
to where this disturbance had oc-
curred--it might have been in the
Southern Hemisphere, in Alaska, or
somewhere in the Atlantic or Pacific
oceans. If it had not occurred near
some center of population 1t might
have been years before anything was
heard of it. If the earthquake had
taken place at sea 1t would manifest
Itself in tidal waves, striking against
the nearest coast line. Some scien-
lists placed the probable location of
the superficial effect in Asia, some
where about 1000 miles from London;
and later this was almost exactly
verified by a dispatch from Persia
stating that on that date Luristan, a
savage and remote country among the
ranges, had been devastated, with a
loss of many villages and 5000 lives,

tional Magazine.

APPEAL MADE FOR HELP
partment for Relief for
Flood Sufferers.

Washington, d. Can appeal
from the officers of the Association
of American Colonies at Monterey for
victims of the flood disaster was sent
to the state department by Consul
Hanna. He says in his dispatch sew
eral hundred were dead and hundreds
homeless.
1t is evident that every person in
Monterey, he declares, has suffered
loss of some kind or other, and many
of the poorer classes are entirely des-
titute. The appeal calls attention to
the fact that Monterey, a city of 100,
900 persons, does IS per cent. of it's
foreign trade with the United States.
The state department, which cannot
take action officially providing relief,
has referred the appeal to the Red
Cross society.

FINANCiER MAKES FIRST FOR
NAL STATEMENT SINCE
HIS RETURN.
ASKS REPORTERS TO WITHDRAW
Promises to Keep the Press Posted
AS to His Conditior-Admits
Specialists Held Consulta-
ton at His Home.

Arden, N. Y.-Edward H. Harri
man, urged by weary representa-
tives of the press who have camped
about his mountain home since
Wednesday last, came out with q
statement that he was all right.
Though brief, the statement is
straightforward and explicit, with
perhaps a touch of patient resent
ment at the surveillance to which he
has been subjected and a request that
reporters withdraw, not so much for
his sake, but for his friends, who have
been intercepted daily coming to and
from his residence by jealous inter
viewers eager for the latest by the in
formant. 1t concludes thus frankly:
IF there should be anything serious
l will let the press know, and as I
have never deceived them, l ask that
the press now withdraw its repre-
%sentatives and rely on me-"
The general opinion is that Mr.. Har-
riman would have broken his silence
long ere now had he realized how his
continued silence and that of his
family and associates bred wild and
sensational rumors.
Reporters Request Statement.
1t was by impressing this upon Mr..
Hartman that the statement was OBJ
tanned. The newspaper representa-
tives held a conference, drew up a let
ter and sent it to the A~rden~house by
special delivery this morning. 1t read
as follows:
lowing to the sensational stories
from irresponsible sources, we ask
that you issue an authoritative state
ment in regard to your physical condi.
ton. Nothing but that can refute
these alarmist reports.
"One story says that an operation
was performed on you on Friday, and
that this is the first day you have
been outside since Friday"
Mr.. Hartman evidently decided to
act soon after the receipt of the let.
ter, for at 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
Superintendent Ford, of the estate,
brought his employers answer down
from the home. The statement, which
had been made public in New York
earlier in the afternoon, was written
on a sheet of the Arden House sta.
tionery. Miss Mary Hartman, the
railroad mans daughter, wrote it al
his dictation, but across the top of the
first page Mr.. Hartman had written
this message with his own hand:
Daughter Writes Message.
Gentlemen: Thanks for your letter
of today. The statement below was
made by me over telephone today and
published. You see it covers the
whole subject.
"Belieev me, yours sincerely,
"(Signed) e. H. Hartman"
In the statement Mr.. Hartman ad
mitted that there was a consultation
between specialists at his house, bui
that they decided that there wal
nothing serious the matter with him
He did not mention the possibility o.
an operation.
With the r%eassuring news the New
York stock market settled itself. ant
advances were general. The effect OF
the Hartman stocks was of cours,
most apparent, but there was a buoy
ant tendency everywhere manifest.
