Washington, Nov. i. A severe ar
raignment of the Indians on the l'on
ca, Otoe and Oakland reservation in
Oklahoma is made by Agent 32rwln,
in chargu of the reservation, in Ids
annual report to the commissioner of
Indian affairs. The report says:
"Hardly any of the young Indians,
those who have graduated from non
reservntion schools, ns well as those
who have attended for a number of
years, do any work at all. It can bo
set down ns u perfectly safe rule that
as a class tho young educated In
dians are the most worthless ones in
tho whole tribe. Nearly all of the
work done by the tribe is performed
by the middle-aged, able-bodied ones,
who cannot write or speak English.
The educated Tndlon coming from
tho schools usually gives tho excuse
that he has nothing with which to
work, neither money, implements nor
stock of any kind. This is true, but
I notice that they manage to live on
their annuities' and lenso money and
buy horses, buggies, etc., on credit
and borroVv money from the banks
with but little prospect of ever boing
able to pay their debts. Any .able
bodied man or woman is aide to ob
tain work at fair wages. Many of the
people are addicted to drink and both
men and women are inveterate gam
blers. They have praoticnlly nothing
to do. Their days are spent in almost
utter Idleness and vice and debauch
ery are rampant. Tho degradation
of these people will continue and in
crease until they are made to work
and live by the result of their la
bors." C. 0. D. LIQUOR CONTRABAND.

Suprnuin Court In Kntriinl to Orlcjlnul
I'hcIchciih by 1'xproH.
Dcs Moines, la., Nov. 1. Tho Iowa
supreme court has reversed two trial
courts in Iowa on the question of the
C. O. D. liquor sales by express com
panies. In both instances the express
companies had liquors which they
were transferring to purchasers in
exchange for C. O. D. payments. Seiz
ures were made and the cases tried
in tho district court, where the ex
press company won. TSoth cases were
appealed and both are now reversed.
The holding of tho court prevents
express companies from handling
liquor C. O. D. and makes such goods
contraband and liable to seizure if
found in the possession of the com
panies. The court holds that the priv
ilege of original packages or of the
freedom of interstate commerce does
not apply to a business of this char
acter. PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE.

JEWEL FROM A BONE.
Qrcnt Opnl from Aimtrnlln "WlilcH Is
Snlil to Have llcen Involved.
from n Hone,
A rough opal that was once part of
the backbone of a prehistoric animal,
and is now one of the most remnrkuble
specimens of its kind in the world, has
recently been found in Australia, re
ports the New York Times. The btone,
which is in thu rough, is remarkable
for its size alone, which is 24 by zya
inches. It weighs 1,150 knra,ts. From
a small piece which has been chipped
from one of the edges it appears to be
a stone of wonderful beauty, rich color
and lire.
It is not, however, on thebc consider
ations that its claim to distinction is
based, but upon the fact that it is an
opalized fossil. A glance at it will con
vince even the lay mind that it is a
petrified vertebra of some animal. The
facets for the heads of tho ribs are
found to be perfect. Hy a careful ex
amination under a strong magnifying
glass it is possible in places to discover
in the porosity of tho stone even the
cell tissue of the bone.
This remarkable specimen, which
thus is of scientific as well as commer
cial value, was probably formed by
silica operating upon the bone. It is
well known that opal is formed1 by the
deterioration of tho rock in which it
is found, the silica of which after first
having been dissolved by superheated
water has greatly cooled in fissures of
the rock. By whatehance this vertebra
came in contact with this silica bearing
water is a'mattor of conjecture.
It was found by u man in Australia
who stumbled over it accidentally. Its
brilliancy and peculiarshape attracted
his attention, and after a careful ex
amination ho came to the conclusion
that ,it was an opal. He took it to a
lapidary and his suspicions were con
firmed. It is now the bone of contention be
tween the scientific and the commer
cial world. Tho scientists want it bad
ly, but they do not want to pay for it
what the stone is worth commercially,
and the persons who own it won't part
with it, even for scientific purposes,
unless they receive its full commercial
value.
It is now locked in the safe of a
Maiden Lane jeweler awaiting theout
come of tho wrangle.
Dr. O. P. Hay, assistant curator to
the Metropolitan Museum of Natural
History, after a careful examination
of the vertebra, pronounces it undoubt
edly that of a marine animal, of the
family of Pleiosaurs, and believes from
its shape that it formed part of the
Cimolisaurs, an animal which attained
a length of possibly -10 feet, fossils of
which are now being found frequently
in Australia.
Sliced Ciicnmlicr IIpIInIi.
While very simple, this relish is gen
eraly a prime favorite for winter use,
being especially nice with cold meats,
pork chops or sausage. Purchase large
green cucumbers, pare them and slice
in rounds' ns for the table. To four
quarts jf cucumbers, measured after
slicing, add one-fourth of a cupof s-altj
let stand fiveorsix hours, or ovu- night,
then drain in a. cheesecloth bag, prest
ing out well. Cover a fourth of a cup
of yellow mustard seeds with boiling
water, let stand 1ft minutes', then drain.
Put" the cucumbers, mustard seed, a
rounding teaspoon of celery s-eed, a
level teaspoon of white pepper, a slink
ing of cayenne, a quart of good cider
vinegar and one-fourth of a cup of
brown sugar all together in a granite
kettle, and heat slowly to boiling. Let
boil up well, then bottle nnd seal imme
diately. Good Housekeeping.

THE BATTLE OF TAKU.
Qermnit Oftles- "Write m Hoolc and
Telia Hovr Anxious the American
Were to Get Into the Fight.
Tho advance sheets of Josef Her
rings book, "Tho Battlo of Taku," of
which engagement ho was an eyewit
ness, says, discussing American non
participation: "The Monocacy, called by tho Chi
ncso the jinrikisha of the sea, because
It was a sidewheeler, was anchored off
the railway depot at Tong Ku before
tho bombardment. The lat train from
Tientsin brought hundred of fugi
tives, many of whom were taken on
board the Monocacy, it having received
orders from Washington not to take
part in tho fighting.
"This displeased the American offi
cers. When mingling with the officers
of other nations on tho wharf on tho
Pei-Ho the Americans expressed dis
satisfaction. The foreign officers gen
erally sympathized with tho feelings
of the Americans, who did not want to
see the fight without taking a hand in
it. Cnpt. White did not share in this
public discussion of the United States'
action, which was confined to the
juniors.
"During tho bombardment the Mon
ocacy was struck by two shells from
tho forts. Capt. White would like to
have gone into aotion then, but could
not do so because Iub vessel was
crowded with nonoombatants."
AIRSHIP AND A TRAIN.

"Stop your train," yelled Stanley
Spencer as his airship was rushing
head' on toward an approaching ex
press train near Prektou, Englandi.the
other day.
"Stop your airship," yelled the engi
neer. Mr. Spencer proved that his airship
is dirigible by dodging the express
train, ramming a tree, and ending his
26-mile voyuge in its branches. He
was uninjured.
Spencer, who recently made a suc
cessful trip over London, rose to-day
from Blackpool, but, finding the north
west breeze too strong to make headr
way against it, he proceeded in a
southwesterly direction and landed in
the open country.
There was a good breeze when he
ascended. When he was 1,000 feet high
ho made several evolutions against
the wind and finally sailed off in the
same direction the wind was blowing.
When he was descending he found
he was over a railroad, with his trail
ing rope dangling among the tele
graph lines along the line. His dia
logue with the engineer followed.
CLIMAX IN MEN'S DRESS.
Editor of the London Tnllor Declares
Thnt Tin More Changes for the
Hotter Need lie Expected.
That man's style of attire is now
practically unchangeable, was the
ground taken by SI. T. H. Holding, ed
itor of the London Tailor, in a lecture
at St. James hall the other night.
"We have," he said, "reached final
ity as far as the dress of the English
gentleman is concerned. The trousers
of to-day will not only be the trousers
for the next 50 or CO years, but of the
next million."
Mr. Holding has nothing but praise
for modern man's clothes, the Chester
field coat coming in for special praise.
"The Chesterfield is the permanent
coat," he assured his hearers. "The
motto for to-day, for ages to come, i6
easp, grace and common seu&e. We
cannot change anything for the bet
ter." .v.:v '

THE NEED OF A STIMULANT.
The digestive organs, the liver, the kidneys and bowels lose
their effectiveness at times and need help. At such a time a stimu

serious diseases spring from neglected disorders in these organs. For
this purpose there is no better medicine on earth than Prickly Ash
Bitters, the great regulating system tonic, bowel and blood purifier.
The uniform success of this remedy in correcting disturbance in the system isduetoits
four-fold cleansing and strengthening effect. It is a kidney remedy of superior merit. It is a
successful liver medicine. It tones up the digestive process in the stomach. It purifies
and regulates the bowels. By removing obstructions and impurities in the blood, liver
and bowels and strengthening the digestion, the whole internal organism is improved, and

belching, flatulence, constipation and for keeping the system in order it is invaluable.
