Wasitiwotos. Feb. .SO—The Indian
appropriation bill now before the Sen*
ate for consideration is of vast import
ance to the west, for it aims a destruct
ive blow at tribal sovereignty and
places the Indian territory in immedi
ate touch with the long excluded forces
of development.
After providing the necessary ap
propriation for the maintenance of the
Dawes commission, the Senate com
mittee has inserted:
“Provided farther, that said com
mission shall set apart the lands upon
which any town ia located in the In
, . dian Territory, together with a reason
able amount of land to provide for the
future growth of said town; also all
lands occupied by aoy church, ceme
tery, school, charitable or penal insti
tution or public building of any sort
outside of the limits of any town: also
nil mineral lands, including coal oil
and natural gas lands now leased, occu
pied and improved for mining pur
poses. that the u&c of the surface of all
other lauds in the Indian Territory
belonging to the Chickasnw, Choctaw,
, I’heroKoe, Muscogee (or Creek) and
Seminole tribes shall be allotted equal
ly among their respective citizens, area
and value being taken into considera
tion, such allotments to embrace other
Indians and freed men now living with
said tribes according to the provisions
of existing treaties and laws in rela
tion to such other Indians and freed
men.

Nebraska's Lait Treaiarar TIM Vp Mach
Honsv In 4idll( Bank*. „ . .
Lijccoi.s, Neb.,Feb. 20.—A statement
of the financial condition of the state
treasury pf Nebraska shows that ex
State Treasurer J. 8. Bartley (Republi
can) has a deficit staring him in the
face of over S5QO.OOO. Coupled with
this is a little item of 927,000, which
cx-State Auditor Eugene V. Moore,
also Republican needs to, account for
in order to balance his books. ’ y
Mr. Bartley is unquestionably, the
victim of a too lenient policy in assist
ing his friends.in a financial way.
When the panic of 1893 struck Nebras
ka he deposited large sums in various
state banks to help them through the
crisis. Several of these subsequently
failed and others were so closely
pressed that it was impossible to dis
charge their obligations. Bartley
says that in the course of time every
eent will be paid.
The shortage in Auditor Moore's' ac
counts has not so far been explained.
Action in regard to the state treas-'.
tiry situation has been delayed ten
days by a vote in v'he senate. During
this time special committees will in
quire into the s<le>r«d>«hortage. ' ’
A SEaTu^Te; murder.
Horrible Tragedy In North Dakota—.,
Drunken Indians Suspected.
Wixoxa, N. D.. Feb. 20.—A sextuple
tragedy was discovered one mile from
this place yesterday on the ranch of
Rev. Thomas Spicer. The horribly
mutilated bodies of Mr. and Mrs.
Spicer, their daughter, Mrs. William
Rouse, with her 1-year-old twin boys,
and the aged Mrs. Waldron, the
mother of the postmaster at this place,
were discovered scattered about the
ranch, and there is yet no positive clue
to the perpetrators of tne horrible
crime.
x ne appearance about the ranch,
the condition of the bodies and some
other circumstances have led to the
suspicion that the murder was com
mitted by Indians, and this suspicion
wfu in part started from the known
fact that one Indian was seen in the
neighborhood of the ranch. Then,
too, the bodies were terribly mutilated
with axes and clubs, which fact is
taken to at least partially corroborate
the suspicion of the Indian murderers.
The Standing Rock Indian reserva
tion is not far away, and when the In
dians from there get away from sight
and manage to get hold of whisky,
there is sure to bo trouble.
If the murders were committed by
Indians, the murderers are. undoubt
edly now back among the reservation
Indians. There is much excitement
hero over the tragedy.

boxing bout with William Wright.
While ins limp body was being carried

claimed victor over him.
The death blow did not appear to
be an especially vigorous one and not I
one person in the amphitheater sus- j
peeted the horrible truth. Coleman’s
eyes were open and rolling, although
his tongue was stilled and his muscles
were all relaxed. Some thought it
was only a bit of clever acting in order
to escape further punishment. It was
nearly two hours later that the boy
died from a broken neck.
The police have arrested John Sim

Washington, Feb. 19,—Soon after
the Senate went into executive session
to-day there was a contest aa to
whether the arbitration treaty should
be considered or nominations taken
up. There was a yea and nay vote on
the proposition, in which those who
desired to consider nominations were
victorious by a majority of four. Sev

voted to take up' the nominations be

significant in showing that a majority
of the Senate do not believe svsm ean

OPPOSE THE CONFERENCE.
Republicans of the Bouse May Kill the
International Monetary Treaty.
Washington, Feb. 10.—When the
House committee on coinage took
charge of the Senate bill for an inter
national monetary conference, there
was thought to be no doubt that it
would be reported favorably, but the
opposition has been growing steadily
until it seems probable that, if re
ported, the action will be against the
wishes of a majority of the Republican
members of the committee.
All of the Republicans who have
spoken on the measure before the com
mittee have argued that it would be
an embarassraent to the incoming ad
ministration. On the other band,
some senators say that Senator Carter
of Montana, who recently held an in
terview with the President-elect,
quotes Mr. McKinley os expressing a
desire that the bill should be passed.

STRONG WORDS TO WOMEN
Mrs Helen H. Gardner Talks at the Evils
of Subjection a? Mathers.
Wasiusotojt, Feb. 10.—The First
Baptist church was crowded tong be
fore the opeuing of the mothers' con
gress to-day mid an overflow meeting'
was held iu the large Sunday school
room.
Mrs. Helen H. Gardner of Boston
read a paper on the moral responsibil
ity of women in heredity, in the course
of which she said: “1 fear that I shall
strike a less pleasunt note than those
who have dealt with the ideal mother
hood. My theme is scientific. It
deals with demonstrable facts, and It
goes back even of the kindergarten.
Self-abnegation, subserviency to man
—whether he be father, lover or hus
band--is the most dangerous theory
that can be taught to or forced upon a
woman. She has no right to transmit
a nature that is subservient and it
slavish character, either blindly obedi
ent or blindly rebellious, and there
fore set, as is a time-lock, to prey or to
be preyed upon by society of the future.
If woman is not brave enough person
ally to demand to obtain personal lib
erty of action, equality sf status, en
title control of hey great and race-en
dowing function, maternity, she has
no right to dare to stamp upon a
child and to curse a race with the de
scendants of such a servile, a dwarfed,
a •time-and-master-serving character.
We wonder how she dares to faco her
child and know that she did not fit
herself by self-development and by di
rect, sincere, firm and thorough quail-'
fleations for maternity before she dare
to assume its responsibilities. We
wonder that man lias been so slow in
learning to read the message that
nature hus telegraphed to him
in letters of fire and photographed
with a terrible persistency up
on the distorted, diseased bodies
nnd minds of his children and upon the
moral imbeciles she has set before him
as an answer to his message of sex
domination. Do'you know that there
is an army of 700,000 defectives in this
country? Sjveu hundred thousand
imbecile, insane, deaf, dumb, blind and
criminal victims of maternal and pa
ternal ignorance. Our standing army
is only i'5,000 men—these for our pro
tection; onr defective army 700,000—
these for our destruction.”

THE BECO.&fl BROKEN.
C., B. & Q. ACCOMPLISHES A
GREAT FEAT.
Special Train of the Burlington Ron to
Kona from Chicago to Deavor, 1,088
Milo, at an Average Speed 'of Nearly
58 Mile* an Hoar.
Tbe Chicago, Burlington ft Quincy
Railroad has just accomplished the
greatest feat the world has ever known
for long-distance fast running.
It was made In a race against death
to carry Henry J. Mayham of New
York to the bedside of his dying son in
Denver.
The distance from Chicago to Den
ver, 1,025 miles, was covered In ex
actly 1,069 minutes’ actual running
time. This is only a small fraction
less than one mile a minute for the
longest continuous run ever made by
any railroad in the World.
It was a run made In the ordinary
course of business. No special prepa
ration whatever had been contem
plated for the trip. In exactly forty
four minutes from the time the order
for the train was received the throttle
of the engine was pulled open and the
train glided out of the Union Depot on
a race which surprised railroad men
the world over.
The engine .which took the train on
the-first run out of Chicago to Gales
burg had just come in from Aurora
pulling a regular passenger train. No
time was spent in cleaning up, but it
was quickly turned around, attached to
the special train and manned by the
same engineer who had brought it to
Chicago. Not more than a half dozen
officials or employes of the road knew
the trip was to be made. This fact is
the most important in the history of
the great feat, as it demonstrates the
superb physical condition of the road
and the perfect management which en
ables such remarkable time to bo
maintained for more than a thousand
miles.
The time made by the record-break
ing train is as follows, including all
stops:
From Chicago Miles. Time.
To Galesburg . 163 2h. 56m.
To Burlington . 206 3h. 48m.
To Pacific Jet. 482 9h. 5m.
To Lincoln . 641 lOh. 11m.
To Hastings . 638 12h. 3m.
To McCook .... 770 14h. 15m.
To Denver . 1,025 18h. 53m.
Average time, including stops, 64.3
miles per hour.
Average time, excluding stops, 57.54
miles per hour.
The first stop made by the train after
leaving Chicago was at Sixteenth street
for supplies, where four minutes were
consumed. At Aurora the traveling en
gineer took one mtnute to look the en
gine over and the train ran without a
i stop until Mendota was reached, when
three minutes more were consumed for
the same purpose. A total of twenty
one stops was made between Chicago
and Denver, consuming in all sixty
four minutes. The longest stop was
made at Red Oak, la., where engines
were changed on account of a hot
truck. At this point the fastest run
of the trip was made. Soon after leav
ing Creston it was discovered that a
box on one of the engine trucks was
heating, but in spite of this fact the
run of thirty-six miles was made in
thirty-four minutes. At VIlliBca a
fresh engine was substituted and the
run to Red Oak, fifteen mfleo, was
made in'as many minutes.
Over long stretches of road between
McCook and Denver the train made
more than & mile a minute for dis
tances of forty to sixty miles. Six en
gineers took the train from Chicago to
Denver, making an average- of 170
miles to each run.
Mr. Mayham left New York Sunday
morning at 10 o’clock on Pennsylvania
Limited in response to repeated mes
sages that his son, William B. May
ham, was lying at the point of death
at Denver. At Fort Wayne Mr. May
ham became convinced that the ordi
nary trains would not take him to the
bedside of his son in time to< close his
eyes in death, and he promptly vrtred
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy read
to have in readiness a special train to
carry him through to Denver in. the
shortest possible time.
The Pennsylvania arrived ini Chicago
ten minutes late and thirty minutes
making necessary preparation* for the
were consumed by Mr. Mayham in
journey.
i n<5 ll alU ICll u»e —- —
actly 10 o’clock Monday morning. The
Burlington road had agreed t# make
the trip to Denver “Inside of twenty
four hours.” The feat, was accom
plished in three minutes less than
nineteen hours, or more than »ve
hours under the stipulated, time.
Children's I.etters.
Children should be encouraged to
write letters. It gives them facility In
write letters. It gies them, facility in
expressing their ideas, and If the habit
is established in childhood, it is less
difficult in after life. When they leave
the old home a regular eorrespandence
is a source of the greatest comfort to
both parents and children, and fre
quent letters help to keep the fraternal
tie strong between brothers and sis
ters.
