One thousand opper colored follow ers of Chief Joseph, a once powerful leader of the Nez Perce tribe in the panhandle of Idaho, will join the pro hibition forces in the fight against the rum shops in Nez Perce county, when the campaign begins to make the dis trict part of the arid zone. The Indian Voters' league has organized its forces under the direction of James Stuart, district forester, who is instructing the reds in the duties of citizenship. The Nez Perce treaty contains a clause for absolute prohibition, inserted by the United States government at the urgent request of the chieftains, who declared they would not otherwise ratify the compact, a3 they had watched the effect of rum on the reds. Many of the Indians in the county are edu cated and wealthy. They own consider able farming land on the reservation, and will soon receive more than $130, 000 from the government, most of which will be deposited in the First Americans' Bank at Fort Lapwai, Idaho, where Corbet t Lawyers, a full blooded Nez Perce Indian, has full charge.

Murphy, clerk in the War de partment and for many years of the clerical force of the Department of the Missouri headquarters, returned Tues day ! morning from a three years' absence in Cuba, whore he has connect ed with the American army of occupa tion. Mr. Murphy, who has had ample op portunities for observing affairs in Cuba can se trouble coming. "I do not think," said he "that the restless, revolutionary spirit among the native Cubans can be extinguished dur ing this generation at least. There are but two classes in Cuba -the rich and tho extremely poor. There is no middle class as in this country. The unscrupu lous and adventurous spirits of the rich er class can always rely upon a big following from the poorer class, and a revolution can be started there in little or no time. "I think as a rule that the native Cuban would prefer the Spanish to the American occupation. Under the Span ish system the country was run on the loot, rob, tax, graft and brigandage system, and the Spanish grandees en couraged the system as a plan saving them lots of trouble, and at the same time permitting them to hold the im- proverished classes in the most complete bondage. , WAR GOOD PRETEXT. "A revolution was a good pretext for Spanish terrorism and gave license to the revolutionary spirits to rob, murder and steal without hindrance. Under the American system this activity and diversion is not permitted, so many of the Cubans are without an occupation. ' "The conservative and business ele ments of the island are decidedly in favor of American occupation and American annexation. This is partic uarly true of the Spanish business in terests as well as of the American, Canadian, German and English business men, who are the dominating business influences of the island. It is they who own, control and operate the the rail ways and all the big enterprises of the island. President Gomez is a politican rather than a statesman. I do not think he is very friendly toward the United States. At the same time, I am satisfied that he wants to make a good administra tion. Vice-President Diaz is the better statesman and diplomatist of the two, but his influence is overshadowed by that of Gomez. He is disposed to be friendly to the United States, recogniz ing tho diplomacy of such friendship. President Gomez is determined to crush out every incipient rebellion against his authority. He has issued orders for the immediate execution of all revolu tionists who seek to oppose his power and several have executed, with others marked for summary removol. "Cuba is a country of tremendous possibilities, and as soon as a stable form of government is assured, the island will be one of the most prosper ous countries on the globe."-Omaha Bee. Joke Was a Boomerang. A good joke is going the rounds at the expense of Col. Falter, (the council man.) Dropping into Col. Irwins' cigar stand recently for his customary morn ing smoke, he picked up the dice box and made a few throws. First came out four trays, then three sixes, then I five deuces, then four fives. The big gun of the first ward immediately con j eluded that he was "right" and went ' out on a still hunt for Col. Thrasher, in i tending to even up an old score. In the meantime the word had been passed around and quite a bunch of the faith , ful had gathered to see the fun. But alas! Col. Falter nays he is done for ever with the dice. Ho was beaten I four straight panes. Deplorable Accident Will Murray Meets Death at Mis souri Pacific Elevator. A most frightful accident occurred this morning at the elevator of C. L. Jean & Co., located near the depot on the Missouri Pacific tracks, in which Will Murray lost his life. As he was alone at the time the exact particulars will never be learned. Some man whose name was not learned went to the elevator to seo Mr. Murray just before the arrival of the south-bound passenger. He found him dead, reported the matter to Agent Norton of the Missouri Pacific and then took the train. Mr. Norton at once called the doctor and went to the eleva tor. They found the unfortunate man in a kneeling posture by the gasoline engine, his overcoat tightly wound around the shafting, and his body badly bruised and mangled. The supposition is' that in moving about the room his overcoat became entangled in the shafting and he was thus beaten to death, the overload thus being placed on the engine being sufli cient to finally stop it. Mr. Murray was a young man about 25 years of age and lived with his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. William Murray, near Mynard, driving back and forth from his home to his work in this city. The sorrowing family have the heart felt sympathy of .the entire community in their sad bereavement. The funeral services will be held Sat urday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence.
