INDIANAPOLIS, March 28.—A special call was issued from the national headquarters of the United Mine Workers of America here this afternoon by President John Mitchell, and Secretary W. R. Wilson for a meeting of the national executive board in this city on Monday, April 7.

It is expected that the situation In the east involving vast interests both to the miners and operators, demands the con- sideration of the executive board. President Mitchell will return to head- quarters next weék and will attend the meeting of the executive board, of which both he and Secretary Wilson are mem- bers ex-officio. The executive board under the change made at the national convention April 1 consist of twenty-three members, those outside of the national officers being elected by the twenty districts of the or- ganization.

Robinson of the Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and Iron company to sign the miners’ scale agreed upon here yester- day by the miners and the rest of the oper- ators of district No. 2 may cause a strike of Robinson's several thousand men on April 1. Rabinson's men allege that he departed from last year's scale in compefling the men to push to the headings heavily loaded cars instead of employing mules and insisted on thé same conditiohs for the next year. It was his contention that held up the conven- tion and délayed the signing of the sca by the other operators and miners.

Maereh £8.-The Brewers' exchange of this city today telegraphed President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor at Chicago as follows: The press here interprets your decision in the controversy between engineers and fire- men and brewery workers as sustaining the charge of conspiracy between the brewers of this city and engineers and firemen. This impression may prove a serious obstacle to amicable settlement between proprietors and brewery workers now in progress, as it casts disgraceful imputation on the pro- prietors. Belleving this interpretation of your decision is totally incorrect we re- quest you In the interest of all parties to wire us whether it I8 8o or not. your authority to publish your an: President Gompers replied as follows: desire T, 1 am not responsible for improper inter- pretation ot my opinion.

Some humors are inheritel; others are acquired, commonly through derangements of the digestive organs.

Of the 1,200 men locked out all are pro- vided for except about 150, who still re- main unemployed, most of them belng men whom the brewers will not take back. Others of the old men have gone to Chicago, 8t. Louls and Milwaukee. The breweries co-operate with the union on hours, wages, ete., but reserve the right to discharge men who are not satisfactory. At the Grand hotel today about a dozen prominent brewery coppers from several states held a meeting behind closed doors. There was no organization represented. Tho main object of the coming together was to consider the existing labor situation. There are no labor troubles directly involving their branch of the brewery Interest, but they thought It advisable to discuss the situation in all its bearings. They wanted to have a full understanding as to the wages paid in the various sections of the country. Inasmuch as labor disturbances prevail in a great many other lines of industry they wanted to be ready for any emergency. Among those present were: R. S. Meters of St. Louls, who presided; E. A. Herb of New York, Phil H. Spaetes of Philadel- phia, Charles Stapes of Milwaukee and John Robs of Chicago. Ma etts MIIl Operators.

The most dangerous false friend is the one that under the guise of friendshlp day by day insinuates himself into your good graces and takes advantage of the associa~ tion to do you harm; that is exactly the po- sition of coffee. It enters your sanctum under the guise of & warm, close friend and slowly, day by day, works away at your de- struction. Why this should be no one can say, but It is a fact nevertheless. Hundreds of thou- sands are testifylog of the terrible straits that coffee drinking has led them into, In our clearer momoents we know that bealth, bounding, perfect health, brings with it the poise of nerve and clearness of mind that makes us kings instead of slaves, and brings a heaven on earth to us. Through the very perversity of mankind, showing the elements of a«tangible demon, we persist in taking into mouth and stomach the false friend even after we know It is working to throw us out of the peaceful heaven of health and set up within us that condition of disease that the nerves show variously in dyspepsia, beart trouble, kidney trouble, etc., ete. The patient physician who has, for years, been explaining to different people under his care the powerful effects of coffee on bighly organized persons, finally becomes a bit careless and feels that he can only point out the facts and then let patients go their own path. Thelr very perversity will make of them slaves, and they follow the habit with the blind, dogged fatallsm that cannot be understood. Coffee “soaks” them certain and sure, when they are bit hard enough they finally come around to the polnt where they are forced to give it up, then Postum Food Coflee comes as & relief in the time of des- perate trouble. It requires no effort to slip off cuffee drinking for 1l made Postum, and the change in health is something miraculous in many cascs. OMAHA INDIANS WANT CASH Enlist Senator Millard's Aid to Get Apportionment, SANTEES ALSO HAVE A GRIEVANCE Want to Exchange Grafing Land for Sections that Will Ralse Crops— Western News in Wash- ington. a Staft Correspondent.) TON, March 28.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—Representatives of the Omuha tribe of Indians are desirous of coming to Wash- ington for the purpose of taking up with the secretary of the interior the division of a portion of thelr trust fund for the im- provement of their land. The Indlans had a conference with Senator Millard last sum- mer looking Into this matter. They were given to understand that the senator would do everything In bis power to bring about such a division. Not content with this, however, they now make application to the @enator to intercede for them with the commissioner of Indlan affairs to secure his permlission to come to Waehington and pre- sent their case in person. In view of this request the senator has up the matter with the commissioner ndian affairs, but has been informed that the commissioner, thoroughly under- standing the situation and belng In favor of a certaln portion of the tunds being set aside for their benefit, does not look with any great favor upon thelr presence here. Senator Millard has informed the Indlans that he will do everything in his power to pass the legislation needed to divert a portion of the funds which {s now in the treasury to the credit of the Omaha tribe, and early next week will introduce a bill to carry out the desires of the Indians. Congressman Robinson's Mensure. Congressman Robinson today introduced & bill authorizing the secretary of the treas- ury to pay to the Omaha tribe of Indians $100,000 out of the money which said tribe of Indlans may have to its credit in the treasury for improvements on the ressrva- | tion in Nebraska. According to a letter which Commissioner Jones has written to Congressman Robinson concerning the amount of money which Is held in trust by the treasury for the bene- fit of the Omaha tribe of Indiane, there ap- pears to be in round numbers $470,000 to the Omahas’ credit. Leading Indians of the Omaba tribe desire to have set apart $100,- 000 of this amount to thelr credit to be spent for improvement of their lands and the purchase of etock. According to the last enumeration there are 1,203 Indlans In- cluded in the Omaha tribe. Commissioner Jones is in favor of this proposition,and has expressed himself em- phatically in his letter. He says he be- lieves the time has arrived when those In- dians capable of managing their own af- fairs should be permitted to do so, and as the Omaha Indians occupy their own farms and are keeping up their homes they should be given all reasonable opportunity to work out their own future. Santees Want Better Land. Congressman Robinson has received a pe- tition from a number of Santee Indians re- questing information as to whether these Indians have a right to take homesteads the same as other citizens of the United States. The Indians are anxious to know ‘whether this right has ever been allowed to any Imdian tribes in the past. The pe- tition states that allotments in severalty were made to the Santee Indians in 1885, &t which time the Indlans signing the pe- tition were little boys, that their parents selected allotments for them for their own conveniiice, for pasturage and timber pur- poses, and not fit for farming, and that these allotments are almost useless. The question the Indians wish decided is whether they can relinquish their title to these allotted lands or retain their allot- ments and still have the right of taking homesteads. It is their desire to take home- steads on the Rosebud Indian reservation in South Dakota, when those lands are open for sqitlement. It was represented to the department that the Santee Indlans were citizens of Nebraska in everv sense of the word, but that under the treaty arrangement they could not allenate their lands for some time to come. The Indians above referred to who desire to take new lands under the homestead law ask the ruling of the Indlan office upon their right to take lands in Gregory county when the Rosebud reserva- tlon is ovened to settlers. It is believed the secretary of the interfor will rule that there 16 no legal objection to their exer- Penston B The following bills were passed by the house today: Granting an increase of pen- slon to Joseph Westbrook of St. Edwards to $24, by Mr. Robinson; granting pension of $24 to Frederick Wright of North Platte, by Mr. Neville; increasing pension of Alonzo Lewls Stockham to $30, by Mr. Stark; granting increase of pension to John M. Seydel, by Mr. Rumple; granting pe sion to Henry I. Smith. by Mr. Haugen. * The sundry civil appropriation bill, which was reported to the house today, carties an appropriation of $27,750 for the purchase of 525 acres of land near the proposed site of Fort Des Molnes, Ia., for uee as a target range, and $16,000 to finish the federal building at Oskaloosa, Ia. The Nebraska National bank of Omaha was today approved as a reserve agent for the Commercial National bank of Fremont, Neb. Postmasters appointed: lTowa—Arthur Davis, Hocking, Monroe county; J, F.

Huston of the Rock River Conference Has Carried the Rifle as Well as the Bible. For twenty-two years the Rev. Henry Huston has worked in the Rock River con ference of the Methodlst church. Now a man of peace, his life story is a thrilling one, at least from the time he entered the union army as & member of Gompany F, Fifteenth illinois Volunteers. Colorado in the early soventies was not the well gov- erned commonwealth that it is today, but it fs his military life that this ploneer clergy- man recalls most vividly. He consented to tell a reporter something about himeelf recently and in the course of the interview sald: “When I entered the army, in Company ¥, Fifteenth Illinols regiment, I was in per- fect health, but the exposure and hard- ships entailed in the wervice brought on a chronic dlarrhoea. This caused great wenkness, but in addition to that, in 1895, I had necrosis of the lower jaw, and the suffering produced extreme nervousness. “After the necrosis had left me my nerves were still suffering from the shock I had severe pains in my heart, so acute that I could not rest at night. T was also subject to fainting spells and sometimes would remaln unconscious for more than an hour. My strength and nerve power were at a low ebb, my blood like water my complexion white and waxen looking, my ears colorless and almost transparent, and whenever I undertook the least exer- tion I became short of breath. “My wife and her sister had both beea benefited by Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and finally i determined to try this medicine myself. 1 cannot say just how long 1 had been taking these pills before I discovered I was being helped, but it was not long. 1 soon found the pain in my heart had left ma and I could sleep at night. I have had no more fainting spells and my color Is better. . Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills for Pale People have done won- | ders for me and I take pleasure in recom- mending them. They helped me when other remedies failed.” The Rev. Mr. Huston {s now pastor of the Methodist Episcopal chureh at Elizabeth, Elbert county, Colorado. His endorsement as given above medns that he has given Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a thorqugh test and found them worthy of recommendation. Not only have many cases similar to his been cured by Dr. Willlams' Pink Pills for Pale People, but equally wonderful results have been accomplished by them in a large number of diseases arising from thin blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of almost every {lI! to which flesh 1s heir.
