BLACK HORN WAS UGLY.
With a Yukliim Indian Ho Tried to Mar'
der a 1'ollceman.
PENDLETON , Ore. , June 17 Half
a dozen well mounted Umatilla In
dians are scouring the Blue mountains
to capture Black Horn of the Umatilla
reservation and a Yakima Indian who
last night tried to murder Brisbow ,
chief of the Indian police. The lat
ter , about midnight , was attempting
to arrest Black Horn and the Yakima
Indian for being drunk and disord'er-
ly , when Black Horn drew a pistol
and the Yakima Indian a dirk. They
rushed on Brisbow , who fired three
times without effect. The Yakima In
dian ran behind and struck Urisbow
in the back of the head , knocking
him insensible. Parr , another Indian ,
fired twice , but failed of his mark.
Jack , also a policeman , started up
a fusillade with no better results.
Black Horn and the Yakima then
sprang on their horses and left for
the Blue mountains. Black Horn ,
two years ago , was accused of mur
dering Wip Sha and afterwards plac
ing his body on the railroad tracks.
JAPAN THE ONLY HITCH.
Cannot Borrow Money at 4 Per Cent for
China.
PEKIN , June 17. The foreign min
isters say that although yesterday's
meeting did not result in the settle
ment of matters , still things are work
ing most satisfactorily toward a con
clusion and that the amount of the
indemnity and the 4 per cent rate of
li-terest were almost agree upon , the
[ nly hitch being with regard to Jap-
[ "n , which country cannot borrow
money under 5 per cent. It is the de-
: . ; re of most of the ministers to ar-
lange this satisfactorily , as it is felt
that Japan deserves special consider
ation. The probability is that addi
tional bonds will be given sufficient to
: over the loss.
Special Commissioner Rockhill , on
Lehalf of the United States , has
agreed to add 5 per cent to the tariff
piovided China would agree to the
ividening and dredging of the Shan Si
ind Pei Ho rivers and also to certain
tariff reforms.

recent years. Inquiry for this land
has been very general from all sec
tions of the state during the last two
weeks. Land Commissioner Follmer
will start on an auction tour about
August 20 , and it is probable that his
first tour will extend mostly through
Lhe northwestern section.
"You'd be surprised at the demand
"or school land , " said Deputy Com
missioner Eaton. "Every mail brings
ir some inquiry. Some persons want
tarm land and others want land for
pasturage. The demand , I think , is
greatest for land for grazing purposes

"There will not be a great deal of
land available this year for the rea
son that nearly all of it has already

) f it will be forfeited. People who
lold the land are well satisfied and are
ible to pay the rentals as fast as they
Become due. "

Full Weight Counterfeiters. r
A knld of counterfeiting that has
become popular In England of late Is
the manufacture of spurious shillings
out of genuine silver. As the same
amount of silver contained In a shll-
Ing Is worth only about one-half oC
that sum the coiners reap excellent
profits. All of the false shillings de
tected heretofore have been cast In a.
mold , but It Is pointed out that were
the counterfeiters to enlist the service
ot an expert engraver and die-sinker
detection would be almost Impossible
and the only obvious remedy would
be to increase the size and weight of
the coins.

has had a remarkable experience re

Mr. Sullivan is 49 years of age , and
has been a citizen of Pike County for
30 years. For two years , he has suffer
ed much with kidney trouble and rheu
matism. His shoulders and side were
very sore and stiff , and his back was
so bad he could hardly straighten up
at all. He had palpitation of the-
heart , and a smothering which was
very distressing. He used three boxes
of Dodd's Kidney Pills , and Is as
strong and well as ever he was. Ho
pronounces his cure a miracle. Mr.
Sullivan's statement of his case is-
startling.
"A month ago I was a cripple. To
day I can do a hard day's work every
day , and have not a single ache or
pain. "
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done some-
wonderful cures in Indiana , but none
more miraculous than that in tbp case
of Mr. Sullivan.

WONDERFUL GEYSERS
OF YELLOWSTONE PARK.
* o Other Region In the World Abounds-
In Such n Variety of Attractions.
The most wonderful scenery in the
; vorld is in Yellowstone National Park ,
: he great natural curiosity shop of the
miverse. Nowhere else , within equal
) ounds , are found so many natural
venders grouped , almost as if by de-
iign , for the special convenience of
ilght-seers. The wonders of the Alps ,
ind the Himalayas , could they be gath-
sred together and compressed into an
iqual space , could not hope to rival In
; randeur , in variety nor in number ,
he attractions of the Yellowstone.
.Vere . all the attractions except the
jeysers removed , the region would
till be famed world wide drawing
lature lovers from all countries to-
witness the exhibitions ot unequalled
lower of these matchless giants ,
vhich , with a roar that may be heard
eng distances , spout huge columns of
eething water high into the air , sus-
aining them there for varying lengths
if time. Old Faithful , with a regular-
ty that begot its name , at intervals of
5 to 75 minutes , sends up a huge col-
imn of water 150 feet into the air , re-
aaining active for four minutes. Giant ,
i-ith a deafening roar , spouts 250 feet
very third day for 90 minutes , while
riantess , at longer intervals and with
lightly less power , maintains activity
or twelve hours at a stretch. Many
thers , at intervals ranging from five-
ainutes to several days , spout water
o varying heights , remaining active
Dr periods ranging from one second to
n hour or more. In all , there are
tiirty-three members of this inter-
sting Geyser family of sufficient
uportance to deserve special mention ,
'wenty-eight of these are in Upper
asin , and when several of them , with
heir rainbow tints , spouting at
nee , the scene fs indescrioable. Other
cenes of grandeur that abound in fa-
ored mountainous regions pass In.
adless review before the enchanted
jurist , all sense of fleeting- time being-
) st in their admiration.
Travel to the park , following Im-
roved transportation facilities , has.
reatly increased in recent years ,
saving the Oregon Short Line at
[ onlda , Montana , after a pleasant
.de through changing scenes from
alt Lake City , comfortable stage
caches run to and through the park ,
taking the trip at easy stages in five
ays , four of which are spent among
