zen State bank Of Colfax. whose body

nearly all of it was caused by over

orders given by Wheelock that pro-

bank. Wolever showed that $1,000
worth of York's checks We're carried as
cash" at one time, and replaced by a
personal check from Wheelock when

ment of the Indian by the people of the
United States Is a disgrace to civiliza-
ton and should cause us to blush be-
fore the world" said DR.. Joseph X
Dixon in an address last night.
DR. Dixon spent six months as head
of the Reaman Wanamaker expedition
visiting the various Indian tribes OF
the country.
II feel that I have changed the des-
tinies OF the indian race" he said.
THE Indian has hitherto been driven
back and robbed by the white man.
even the opportunity to carr a live
lihood a been taken away from him.
The Indian is afraid and suspicious OF
the white man because practically hs
has everything taken from him by his
pale faced brother. I think our expedt-
ton HI paved the way to clear the
clouds OF suspicion.
THE condition among the majority
of the Indians is deplorable and. the
government at Washington is kept in
ignorance of 1t. A tribe called the JIG
arilla Apaches is starving to death on
the top Of the continental divide in

WOULD HUSH SCANDAL

Budapest, Dec. 15.-Count Tizsa,
Hungarian premier, and Count Khuen
Hedervary, e~x-premier, today paid
100000 out of their own purse to kill
a political graft scandal which has al
ready wrecked one ministry and
threatened to destroy the present one.
Some time g the Hungarian Traf-
fc bank paid into the government
party fund $500, 600, in return fer which
1t received a concession for a gambling
casino on Maggarete island. The acan-
daI caused the downfall of Br. Won
Lukacz, Count Tizsa's predecessor, and
when the latter became premier he re-
pudiated the deal. The bank threat
ened to sue for the return Of the money.
The government party then acknowl-
edged it had spent the money for cam
ipaign purposes, and the two men de-
cided on the personal sacrifice to end
the affair.
