INDIANS INCREASING.
Whooping Indian of the Old
Dime Novel is Gone-Con-
tact with Whites.

How many Indians were in
America when the white man
came nobody will ever know. The
question whether the red men are
fewer or more numerous now than
then can never be settled. A fact
just established by official figures
is that in the United States today
are more than 100000 Indians,
where twenty years ago wee
about 100000. And Canada has
reporteh recently gain of ten
thousand in ten years.
The whooping Indian OF the old
dime novel is gon,. There are
no more crafty redskins in the
forests such as those who faced
or eluded Daniel Boone and Kit
Carson. Oppression, idleness
and dissipation born of contact
with the conquering whites, dec
mated some old tribal ranks. Civ
ilization was not TO rail- the people
OF the tepees. But the evidence OF
tie census is that the tide is run
ming now for regeneration ami in
crease; that a more generous treat
ment OF the Indians in matters OF
land and rights and moro deter
mined methods OF uplifting the
race by industry are bearing fruit

In THE DITCH
AUTOMOBILE PARTY RE-
TURNING TO SOUTH
BEND HAVE UPSET.
Guests of Miss Elizabeth Evans
Finish Day by Unceremon-
ious Trip to Mud.

The Tribune contained an ac-
count of the adventures of Miss
Elizabeth Evans and six young
lady friends from South Bend,
who missed their return train to
that city and were forced to
phone for an auto. The South
Bend News relates that the Sc
quel to the tale, was an upset of
the auto, in ditch near South
Bend, at midnight Sunday. The
trip to South Bend was made in
the driving rain of Sunday night.
Follows the narrative:
AT midnight on Sunday night,
in a drenching rain, II miles from
South Bend, a party of seven la
dies from this city, Mrs. M. A.
Flynn, Mrs. n. F. Fulk. Miss
Beulah Moose, Miss Domke,
Miss Winfred McCorriston, Miss
Flora Peddicord and Miss Eliza
beth Evans, found themselves
dumped without ceremony into
the muddy road from an automo-
bile. which had skidded into a
ditch at the side of the highway.
The ladies had taken a trip to
Plymouth, Sunday morning to
spend the day at the home of
Miss Evans, whose parents live
near there. The intention of the
party had been to start home on
the train that has been leaving
Plymouth at s 10, but the sched-
ule had been changed at noon on
Sunday, and when they arrived
at the depot the train had left.
1t was raining as they left the
station and found their way to
the hotel, where their first act
was to phone to South Bend for
an automobile TO take Them
home.
At late hour the automobile
arrived, and they stared towards
South Bend, but when IL miles
from the city the machine landed
them in the ditch. The ladies
stood around in the muddy road
and the pouring rain, while the
chauffeur went to neighboring
farmhouse and routed out three
men. who helped him pry-his ma
chine out The rest of the jour
ney was made in safety, none of
the party receiving any injury
from their adventure, but their
clothing and millinery were ruin
ed.

it is desired to protect the rab-

fly up before them Wflile they
