 Stone elaborated the details of his crime. He explained chat he was 9 farmer and on visit to Champagn, met Lucille lie was infatuated with her and she apparently retlned his affections. He never got her last name.
 I was spending al my time and money on "Lucille," he said "and ] wanted her and decided that my lam- ny would be better off dead. ! made up my mind to get them out of the way Aly wife had four children and there was Co be another one.

Indian outlooE.

"The story of those Of my people who live near my home has much in common with the story of the race wherever they live It has been said that ff you would know Che political and moral condition of the people, ask as to the condition of the women. This test holds as good in tbe Indian race gs iu the white. However it is not tho girls who need especial at- tention at present SO much as the race as 8 whole
 There is no doubt that the people of tbe indian race win some day be influential In the affairs Of the coun. ty. Then behooves those of us who are interested in their political and moral welfare to manifest our in- terest in g practical way The Young Women's Christian association has done much in teaching our girls who have come within it's scope.

cordova Described.

"Cordova has a good modern public school The rooms are an spacious and convenient but as yer DO pro vision has been made for the regular attendance of the Indian children. The few who have attended public school have proved themselves bright and adaptable.
 My father is a white man. but he is deeply concerned with the neeos Of my mothers people Though we live at Cordova, my satber often yis- its the Indian village at winter Many times he has sent groceries to the village when. upon visit, he found the Indians destitute.
 "Bnt ! would not convey to you the idea that the Indians complain, or that their lives are altogether void ol cheer. Some of them attend the Episcopal church and each Christmas their children are remembered the same as white children. They accept their late with cheerful stoicism. They are intelligent and even happy but their ignorance of the laws of labor is their undoiug Their greatest need Is to have Q manual education so hat they can compete with the white men and the Chinamen
 ''You wonder that have said roth ing of the girls of this little tribe ] can say little of them as indiyid- uals for conditions make them an part of the tribe. can not segregate them as class, from their fathers and mothers and broth CTS. They do not know the mean ing of a girls club or socleey They do not have the constant refining inc nuence of church association.

 Conditions Worse.
 Before the Copper River railroad wns built tho indians and iew.white people dwelt peaceably together on equal fcoting, sharing impartially the fishing, the hunting, and the trading Then came the railroad. and the town of cordoya was built where the white people have stores and hotel and own and control an the industries. The rightog-way Of che railroad pass. ed directly through the little Indian village. SO tho company built houses for the natives at another site about two aud one-half miles from Cordova. Their old homes had been substan. dal structures. Their new houses are mere shacks, and small ones at that carelessly constructed ol cheap ma- terlal by contract labor, Tho winds blow through tho cracks, and in che stormy weather the inhabitants suffer with cold.
 Since the coming of the white man with innovations ot civilization. the Indian mon cannot make enough dur ing che summer to support their fam- nies during the winter. Hunting is limited to 9 period of 9 few months. consequently Che fare of the Indians Is more frugal than formerly. The women and girls make baskets, and beautiful moccasins for sale. Grass for making baskets is scarce and hard to get 1ioccasins arc made of seat skins and sold to Cordova merchants al g a pair The next day these same moccasins appear in the show win- dows with the price marked from S250 to $500 Q pair For the last four years during the fishing and can ning seasons. Cinnamon have been transported fr0e of charge to Cordoya. Enough Chinamen to do the work are brought and there is httle left for Che Indian men to do. Alter the work is over. tho Chinamen are carried away by the same steamship company that brought them.
