the Creek fort there will be in smoul-
dering ruins"
Again did Pushmataha make good
his boast. For be not only captured
and burned the Creek fort at Tusca-
loosa, but attacked the Seminole and
Creek allies of the British with such
fury as to win battle after battle from
them. From the government troops he
learned the science of military discip-
line He applied this learning to his
own laWless followers with so firm
hand that he soon had welded them
into a splendid body of soldiers He
incidentally won from frontier officers
the nickname of The Indian Gen.
eral"
He led 500 Indians and was In ac-
tive service throughout the whole war.
Most Of the time he was under Gen.
Andrew Jackson's orders, and he took
part In no less than twenty-four
fights
When 1t came to signing a notable
treaty between his people and the gov
eminent In 1920 he displayed genius
for craftsmanship and shrewd diplo-
matte wisdom that amazed the presi-
dents agents. Gen. Jackson, who
himself was noted for sharp diplo-
macy, is said to have confessed then
that in Pushmataha he had met his
match at bargain-driving. He said
q f0r IOrrc n ho &c he bro ocf
greatest Indian have ever known"
Four years afterward another Choc-
taw treaty was negotiated. This time
Pushmataha insisted on coming in
person to Washington. He sent word
to President Monroe:
81 desire to brighten the chains of
peace between the Americans and the
Choctaws"
A Visit of State.
So to Washington he came. There
he was received with high honors by
president and cabinet He visited
Gen. Lafayette, saw the sights of civ
ilization and met with an ovation that
would have turned the brain of les
ser man. Through it all the stately
old Indian preserved his lofty dignity
Of maner. He allowed none of the be-
wildering new experiences to amaze
or disturb him. He was as one mon
arch visiting another
But the visit killed him. He fell i'll
in Washington, and on Dec. "a. 1924,
died there. He knew be was dying.
His last request was that he be buried
with the honors accorded to officers
Of high rank and that cannon be fired
over his grave.
His wishes were carried out in ev-
cry respect. He was laid to rest in
the Congressional cemetery.

A Choctaw war party sprawled
around their campfire after the battle.
That day they had fought the Usage

conflict began
Pushmataha was the laughing stock
Of his tribe. He vas forever talking,
and this Jared upon the silent natives
He was forever Boosting, and he had
done nothing thus far to warrant his
boasts. Now. while his name was still
banded about the campfire, with
sneers at his cowardice in Sinking

A howl of laughter and derision greet
ed him.
Let him laugh who has slain more
foes this day than l." retorted Push
mataha. tossing five scalps upon the
ground.
A Deadly Enemy.
He had crept up on the Osages
from the rear and, single-handed, had
killed as many as mad the boldest war
rior. For thus making good his boast
he received the rank of sub-chief and
the title of Eagle" This was in
1885 Not very long afterward Push
mataha went alone by night to a hos
tile Indian village in the Tonaqua dis
trict. slew seven men and burned part
of the village to the ground. Three
other invaSions of the enemy's coun-
try brought him eight more scalps and
new fame as a warrior.
But his reputation was destined to
spread throughout the country: not
merely as killer of hostile Indians.

AS the lime sulphur solution Is a

scales are to be killed they must be
struck with the spray solution. Great
care should be exercised in the appIi-
cation of the material as those scales

Contrary to popular belief, the San

Proper material applied at the proper

ten per cent Moreover. the selling
value OF the lambs was increased ten

suit OF these advantages gained by
feeding silage there was a difference

C0vinQtOn For Governor.

Congressman J. Harry Covington
is being very prominently mentioned
in connection with the Democratic
nomination for Governor. The Bal
timore Sun has given the suggestion
much prominence this week. Though
Mr.. Covington has frequently de-
clared that his ambitions did not lie
in that direction, yet his splendid
record as Representative from this
District in Congress naturally COM
pels attention. The Sun says:
''That Congressman J. Harry Gov
ington must be seriously considered
as a possibility for the Democratic
Gubernatorial nomination was the
emphatic assertion made by a poll
tician from the Eastern Shore, just
in from Worcester county. More
over, a tip of the same tenor came
from a local machine man high in
the councils of the leaders.
Notwithstanding a semi-authori-
tative announcement that Congress
man Covington was neither a posi-
tive nor a receptive aspirant for the
nomination, the feeling gained fur
Their strength that he was the Logical
man for the honor and that the
nomination ultimately would be
thrust upon him as the only accep-
table compromise in the regiment
of rivals.
'tThe Eastern Shore would be be-
hind Covington to man. Southern
Maryland would accept him with OPP
en- arms and the western counties
are believed to entertain cordial
regard for him. Finally, he stands
very close to Senator Smith, who
undoubtedly would support him in
preference to any other possibility,
as soon as Colonel schley is elimi-
nated.'

IOWA HAS ONLY
700 SAL DON! On. 5 ).
IN SIX YEARS DECREASE HAS
BEEN 1900; 1o5 CITIES
E HAVE BARS. $50

Des Moines, July statistics pre-
pared by the Iowa Anti-saloon league
and taken from the report OF the sec
rotary of state show a decrease or
1890 in the number of saloons during
the past six years. Six years ago there
were in operation 5000 saloons, but
after today there will be less than
700 saloons operating In accordance
with the law in this state.
During the year 1905 saloons were
operated in 500 cities and 81 town
ships in the state. After today but 1O5
cities will have saloons, while there Is
at the present time not one saloon
operating in a township. There are at
the present time 203 cities in the state
where saloons are In operation. Ten
cities, In counties which are otherwise
dry. and now In litigation. 1t Is be-
lieveG that nearly 100 more saloons in
this state will be closed when these
cases are settled if the Anti-saloon
league wins half of the cases. This
would leave Iowa with less than 900
saloons operating in the state.
A move by the Iowa Anti-saloon
league to attempt to secure the repeal
of the mulct law is expected soon. 1t
Is thought by many that at the next
session of the legislature an attempt
will be made that would restore con-
ftitutional prohibition. &
