Winnipeg. Man., Oct. 18.—That Tn- dian tribes living within a few hun- dred miles of Winnipeg have reverted to the most brutal savagery was brought out at the trials of chieftains of the Salteux tribe, just ended at the Hudson Bay company's fort at Nor- way, Sick and helpless members of the tribe were strangled and burned at the stake for no other reason than to relleve their relatives of caring for them. Chief Joseph Pesequan wis con- victed of murder and sentenced to die. Chief Jack of the Sucker band of the same tribe strangled himself to death in his cell the night before the date set for his trial. Two brothers named Rae are in jail at Norway House awaiting trial for several murders. Evyelids, a brave of the Crane band, gave sensational tes- timony specifically describing five strangulations and burnings in which he participated. In one instance the strangulation was not complete and the victim was placed on a platform over a huge fire, where he was slowly roasted to death. After the execution of Chief Joseph Eyelids will be sent back to the North to tell his tribesmen what happened to stranglers. OF GREAT ECONOMIC VALUE Andrew Carnegie Champions the American Negro. Edinburgh, Scotland, Oct. 18.—An- drew Carnegle, in an address at the philosophical institution, appeared as the champion of the negro in the United States, He traced their de- velopment from slaves to citizenship, the gradual decrease of illiteracy among them, their participation in church affairs and told of the enor- mous expenditures of money for churches aud schools. Mr. Carnegie contended that the ne- gro was a saving man and he repudi- ated the idea that the negro is lazy. The negro, he said, had become of Immense economlic value and is indis- pensable. Mr. Carnegie admitted, however, that the negro problem is still unsolved. Lord Rosebery, who spoke on the same question, said he doubted the wisdom of enfranchising the negroes. Ninety per cent of them, he believed, were illiterate when they were en- franchised and on Mr. Carnegie's showing 47 per cent of them were still so. It seemed to him that a period of tutelage might have been wisely imposed. MAKES A TOUR OF MANILA 8ecretary Taft Finds Many Improve- ments in Two Years. Manlla, Oct. 18.—Secretary Taft during the day made a tour of Manila In an automobile and carefully in- spected the improvements made since his last visit to the islands. He de- clared that the progress of the past two years was very great and ex- pressed himself as being highly pleased with the condition of affairs in this city and the reports submitted by the governors of the Philippine provinces. Mr. Taft relterated his denial that he was disappointed by the result of the recent elections and sald that the result was Just what he expected. He expressed confidence that the dele- gates to the assembly would see the advantage of upholding the present system of government, said he was satisfled with the election of Osmena to the presidency of the assembly, of whose ablility he spoke highly, and 8dded that he thought the assem- bly had made an ausplcious beginning Which presaged for work in the fu- ture. FIRST MESSAGE FLASHED Transatlantic Wireless Service For- mally Inaugurated. New York, Oct. 18.—A dispatch from Glace Bay, N. S., says: The Marcon! wireless station here has flashed to the station at Clifden, on the coast of Ireland, a message from Sir Wilfrid Laurier, premier of Canada, coneratulating the English people upon the inauguration of trans atlantic wireless communication. The message Was addressed to the London Btandard and was relayed from the Irish coast to the British metropolis on the inland telegraph lines, After the transmission of the first eastward message England’s dispatch to Canada was recelved and the sta tlon was declared formally open for commercial business, Condition More Favorable, 5 Vienna, Oct. 18.—After a most rest- ful night, which was only interrupted by occasional coughing spells, Em- peror Francis Joseph rose slightly later than usual. The medical exam- ination of the patient resulted in a statement that the fever had disap- peared and that the catarrhal symp- toms had not Increased, which was regarded as being somewhat favor- able. Otherwise the general condition of the emperor was nchanged. | HOPEFUL OF T4E FUTURE ibllity of a Harriman Discusses P Money Panic. Chleago, Oct. 18.—"Money s llke a lquid. The moment you place an obstructlon in front of it it causes a diminution of the flow.” This Is one of the new financial aphorisms to which Edward H. Harrl- man gave uttorance When he was asked to express his ideas upon the future of the country. “This obstruction,” sald the Na- poleon of the rallroad world,” has been placed In front of the liquid stream of mcney and it has already caused a serious check In its flow. This obstruction is the apprehension which has run llke a prairle fire throughout the length and breadth of the land and has permeated the minds of the people. This apprehension ' has been caused partlally, it not en- | tirely, by the agitation against cor- porations in general and rallroads in particular and it will last until the people awaken to the fact that we | must have a saner comprehension | upon these important subjects.” Asked if he looked for any serlous effect from the rapidly changing con- ditlons in the financial and railroad world Mr. Harriman replied: “No, T do not. I think the country s too great and too prosperous to have a money panic. I should rather think that instead of heading toward a panic we are entering a natural and | healthy period of reaction. If we go through It safely, and I am certaln that we shall do so, we will sail | smoothly and calmly into more mod- erate times, when we shall live slower and suret and saner. SALOON TRAGEDY IN IOWA | Twoe Mining Men Wounded, One of Them Probably Fatally. Des Moines, Ia., Oct. 18—Charles H. Morris, president of the Iowa Coal Operators’ association and the largest mine owner in the state, and E. C. Johnson, storekeeper at the Enter- 1 prise mine, were shot during the morning, the latter possibly fatally. J. C. Cain, whom they have been at- tempting to drive out of camp for the past few months, is accused of doing the shooting. The tragedy occurred in Cain’s sa- loon at Enterprise, where the two men had gone on a peaceable mission at Cain's invitation. Morris’ life was saved miraculous- ly, the bullet striking his gold watch and glancing. { RUSSIAN LOAN ARRANGED. French Premier Withholds Approval at Last Moment. Paris, Oct. 18.—The Gilblas states that a Russian loan was practically arranged during the recent visit to France of Russian Finance Minister Kokovsoff, but that Premier Clemen- ceau at the last moment withheld his approval until the Russian foreign minister, M. Iswolsky, gave certain assurances and specified in a concrete manner certain points in the Franco- Russian alllance. This, it s stated, is the reason for Iswolsky’s present visit to Paris. After North Dakota Senatorship, Fargo, N. D, Oct. 18.—Congressman Marshall has issued a formal an- nouncement of his candidacy for the United States senate. This makes three candidates from the insurgent Republicans and two from the Stal- warts. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

A Wasted Present. “What in the world shall T send Aunt Betsy, John?” demanded the mas- terful lady of the mild little man. “A workbasket or a book?” he sug- gested. “Don’t be a fool, John! You've nc taste. I'll send her one of those fancy boxes of soap.” And she lifted to her nose a box contalning six round tablets of per fumed soup. “Yes,” she continued, “this is the very thing!" “But, my dear, really”— he protest od. “You be quiet, John! Now, wrap this up, miss!” Two days later a packet arrived from Aunt Betsy, and in haste they opened it to see how she had taken fhelr thoughtful present. Under the wrap. ping was the affectionate message: “Nlece—Herewith I return the box of shaving soap you senf me. I am too old to appreclate the joke of be- ing regarded as a bearded lady. Your aunt, Betsy.” ‘Then, but only for a moment, the mild little man smiled. — Pearson’s Weekly. A Dreadful Assault. Justice Ball, an Irish judge, was noted for his amusing manifestations of ignorance, but whether they were real or pretended has never been clear ly established. He tried a case In which a man was indlcted for robbery at the house of a poor widow. The first witness was the young daughter of the widow, who identified the pris- oner as the man who had entered the house and smashed her mother’s chest “Do you say that the prisoner at the bar broke your mother's chest?” sald the judge In astonishment. “He did, my lord,” answered the girl “He jumped on it till he smashed 1t entirely.” The judge turned to the crown coun sel and said: “How is this? Why is not the prisoner indicted for murder: If he smashed this poor woman's ches! in the way the witness has described he must surely have killed her.” “But, my lord,” said the counsel, “ii ‘was a wooden chest.”—Cornhill Maga- =ine. The Buds. Old Dr. Ryland, clergyman and ed: ucator, was greatly beloved in the south, and his visits were always en Jolned by his former pupils and par ishioners. In his later years it was his custom to offer prayer whenever he made a ministerial call. On one occasion he called at a house where three of his former pupils were stay ing. These ladies were all past the thirtieth year mark, but in the eyes of the old gentleman they were stil glrls, which explains the petition he offered: “Lord, bless these dear girls, just budding into sweet womanhood.” This was too much for one of the number, who, taking advantage of the¢ doctor's deafness, added this clause sotto voce: “Alas, Lord, budded, bloom- ed, faded and still unpicked!” Got His Discount. “The other day I was in a village general store,” sald a drummer, “en deavoring to make a sale of jewelry when a farmer entered. “‘Give me, said the farmer, ‘a halt pound of tobacco, three bars of soap five yards of blue baby ribbon and s pair of good suspenders.’ “The articles were brought forth, in spected, approved and wrapped up They came to 95 cents. “‘Yes,” sald the farmer, ‘95's right But there’s the discount. You adver tise a 5 per cent discount, don’t you? “‘We do, sir; sald the clerk, ‘bul only on purchases of $1 or over.’ “‘On the counter lay a basket of pock- et combs marked at 5 cents apiece. “‘Well, I'll just take one of these, said the farmer. ‘That'll make us square.’ A Stingy King. In the beginning of the eighteenth century the now so powerful German empire was nothing more than the lit- tle kingdom of Prussia, having just dropped its title of duchy of Branden: burg. The country was very poor and the military discipline very harsh. Frederick Willlam I. was hard, cross and stingy and did not even know what it-was to make a present. His reputation was so widely spread that it became a byword to say that a man had worked for the king of Prussia when he had done an unprofitable task. Skorcher -- No; motor | Maximilian and “La Paloma.” ‘Wherever that haunting air, “La Pa- loma,” is played the memory of the Emperor Maxmilian, shot by the Mex- feans on June 19, 1867, should be pre- served. Maxmillan’s final request was that “La Paloma” should be played while he stood up to meet his doom He died with the tune in his ears, and his wife went mad with the shock of his execution. Papa Is Brave. Hlschen—Mamma, is papa ever brave' Motter—He is always brave, I hope. But what makes you ask? HElschen— Because I thought If he were he ‘wouldn’t let my governess pull his ears so.—Fliegende Blatter, Lincoln's Sarcasm. Probably the most cutting thing Lin- coln ever sald was the remark he made about a very loguacious man, “This person can compress the most ‘words Into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met.” Certain Differences. “Do they never forget their difter- snces?” “Why, yes, In a way. He forgets that he’s a gentleman, and she forgets that rhe’s a lady.”—Puck. A Perplexing Bulletin, In 1876 the late John Hay, who died as secretary of state, and Alvey A. Adee were serving togetber in the le- gation at Madrid. They were intense- 1y Interested in the outcome of the Re- publican national convention and spent days wondering who would be nomi- nated. One morning they found this item in a Madrid newspaper: “Rute- bart 18. Noyes of America has been elected president of the republic of the north.” That was as nearas the Spanish ed- dtor could get to the bulletin, “Ruther- ford B.'Hayew” fins been nominated for president by the Republican natlonal convention,” and It took Adee and Hay a week to figure It out. The Doctor’s Imagination. “I have a good story on one of Wash Ington’s best known oculists,” sald a prominent clubman, addressing sowme friends In the billlard room of the Met- ropolitan club. “My eyes had trou- bled me for some months, and finally 1 went to see the doctor about them. “After a thorough examination he sald that the muscles were badly strained, and then he gave me a pre- scription for drops to be used In my eyes three times a day. When I left he gave we an appointment for that day week, as he said he could not ex- amine my eyes for glasses untll they were In their normal condition. “Well, 1 mislaid that blessed pre- scription, and as I was particularly busy that week I had no time to get enother copy. So in some trepidation I kept my second appointment. “As the doctor examined my eyes I hesitated a moment about telling him I had not used the drops, when he took the words out of my mouth and the breath out of my body by remarking ‘with pleased emphasis: “‘Your eyes are very much im- proved. That medicine which I gave you Is certainly wonderful. It always has such prompt and satisfactory re- sults.’ “It was all 1 could do to keep silent,” concluded the speaker, laughlng. “But I wasn’t quite sure how he would take the joke. You see, he may not have a sense of humor.”"—Washington Star. - Comets In Olden Days. People nowadays do not regard the comet as one of those signs that fore- run the death or fall of kings, but the superstition was still current in the time of Queen Elizabeth, though, to the amazement of her courtiers, the queen calmly scorned it. It was also thought that if the sovereign would re- frain from looking at the malignant celestial passerby no harm would come to her. On one occasion Elizabeth's attendants shut and curtained her win- dows, but her majesty, as might have been expected, with “a courage an- swerable to the greatness of her es- kmte,“ caused them to be opened, cry- ing as she looked up: “Jacta est alea— the die is cast!” Then, like King Knut on the seashore, she read her people a homily, asserting that her “steadfast hope and confidence were too firmly planted in the providence of God to be blasted or affrighted with those beams ‘which either had no ground in nature whereupon to rise or at least no war- rant in Scripture to portend the mis-| haps of princes.” Queen Elizabeth as an Ale Drinker. There is an amusing letter written by the Earl of Leicester to Lord Bur- leigh as to the lack of sufficiently strong ale for the queen at Hatfield. “There is not one drop of good drink for her here. We were fain to send to London and Kenilworth and divers other places where ale was. Her own beer was so strong as there was no .man able to drink it.” Ale and bread were the chief items of the royal breakfast. . The quantity of ale con- sumed by ladies at breakfast in those days was considerable, for in the reign of Henry VIIL. the maids of honor ‘were allowed for breakfast “‘one chet loafe, one manchet, two gallons of ale and a pitcher of wine.” A Lady Lucy made a mighty tonic of the national brew. Her breakfast was a chine of beef, a loaf and a gallon of ale, and for her pillow meal a posset porridge, a generous cut of mutton, a loaf and a gallon of ale.—Westminster Gazette. Inquisitive. “I'll send my boy to a boarding school.” “What for?” “Oh, he asks such questions. He wanted to know last night if a shoe- maker could breathe his last.” There is nothing so true that the damps of error have not warped 1t— Tupper. SHAKE 1T OFF. Rid Yourself of Unnessary Burdens.
