HAS HIS GRAVEYARD Hm Bruner, Ualted State marakai of Indian territory in the early diya, enjoys the rare distinction of haring a eetacterjr named after him. And the trance part of It la that no one is buried there except hie own victims. There are twenty-eight msunds in tho cemetery. Under each lies the bones of aome bad man who brushed up against Bruner and got the worst of it When Bruner was marshal the In dian territory was about as wild as a country ever gets. It was filled with horse thieves, cattle thieves, train robbers and desperadoes of all kinds. A law abiding peaceable citizen did not stand much show. Murders were ao common that they were not con sidered news. Thefts attracted no at tention whatever except from the ones who suffered loss. The country was run as near along anarchistic lines an the most ardent anarchist of New York or Madrid could hope. Little atten tion was given to the "consent of the governed." The desperado with tho quickest movement of his shooting hand and the mo.it nerve ruled the roost. That was the condition until Hec Bruner was appointed United States marshal. When he took chargj of the office he decided to revolutionise things and make Indian territory "a good place to live in." His friends laughed at him, although they knew ho had nerve. To go up against the notorious gangs of the country, they said, was foolishness. It might result In cleaning out a gang or two, but in the end would result In the marshal being wiped off the map. What was the use to endanger one's cwn life in order to make trouhle for the desper adoes, they would ask. To this Bruner replied that he would drive the open ing wedge toward civilizing the terri tory if it cost him his life the first day. He stuck to his resolution, and he did not lose his life, either. But he had several narrow escapes. He was punc tured by bullets until his frame eouU be "used for a sieve," and he had his blood spilled in many a fight, but not enough of It at any one time to make him bite the dust. While tho desperadoes were making It interest ing for Bruner he was kepplng them busy. He was a dead shot, and when ever he pulled the trigger on his man It meant a separation of soul and body. There was no discount on that. Bruner began to hunt down the des peradoes. The first one he killed was buried in a grove south of Tahlequah. GrOW CardcSS 1 Constant Handling i r r $ of Explosives Make fj r (!) "After a miner has handled dyna mite for eight or ten years without a serious mishap It is a good Idea to put him to doing something else about the works," says one who has had a great deal of experience with high ex plosive. "The chances are 100 to 1 that his long Immunity from accident has given him such a contempt for danger that he Is an unconscious men ace to everybody on the premises. Ho will do things that not only imperil his own life, but the lives of his com rades. To give you an Illustration, I once had an old Cornlthman at work at a mine In which I was in terested and had Intrusted him with a general supervision of all the blast ing. He had been handling dynamite for twenty years or more and was Just ly regarded as an expert. During the entire period he had never had an ac cident worth speaking of ,and by de grees the care and vigilance that were responsible for his excellent record had worn away until he was beginning to entertain the delusion, common to old hands, that the danger of the stuff wag much exaggerated. "One day I was parsing through a cut where aome blasting had been go ing on and noticed the old Cornlsh man hammering a drill Into what seemed to be a boring in the ground. I asked him what he was doing and he told me cooly that there wa a cart ridge in the hole that had failed to explode and that be was 'Just knock In' out the tamping to reprlme it. I was horrified, for at every blow he North and South They Go The geographical prize of the cen tury is the discovery of the North Pole. It will be quite a feather In the cap of the nation whose flag Is first plant ed on the northern center of the earth's axis. The United States Is a sharp competitor for this prize. Lieutenant Peary Is now somewhere In the frozen regions and Intelligence from him Is anxiously awaited. Two European countries are now represented there by Capt. Sverdrup and Baron Toll. Mem bers of one of these expeditions might have already reached the coveted spot Their return or a report from them la quite certain during the summer. In a nhort time another American ex pedition will start under command of Kvelyn E. Baldwin, who has had great deal of experience In Arctic ex plorations. William Zletler of Phila delphia dm placed 11.000,000 at the dhv poaal of Capt Baldwin an no peni MrshcJ Who Has Killed Mny Dad Men. The second one wan alio laid there. And so It went unt"-. the carcasses ol twenty-eight bad who had met death at the hands of Bruner while he was acting In the line of duty wer buried In that grove. A rail fence waf run around the grare and the ceme tery was named "Bruner's graveyard." Only one grave in the yard is marked with a marble stone. That is the grave of a noted horse thief. His pals chip ped In and bought the tombstone be cause he waa a "good fellow." AY. the rest of the graves are marked with wooden slabs. Many of them are in closed with slab fences, while others are inclosed with rails laid in hog pen fashion. After Bruner got hie graveyard pretty well filled up the des peradoes began to realize that he meant business, and whenever one wouia hear that Bruner wanted him he would come into town and give himself up rather than run the risk of being the next one to occupy space In Bruner's graveyard. From that time on Bruner had an easy time. He had accomplished his object. He had driv en the entering wedge In the civili zation of the toughest country the sun ever shone on. Kansas City Journal II Could Abbreviate. An amusing story illustrating Brit ish officialism comes from South Af rica, and will bear repeating. The col onel of a pioneer regiment, repairing the railroad after one of Gen. DeWet's many breakages, discovered a fine empty housd, which he proceeded to occupy as fceadquaiteia. When the news of the colonel's comfortable quar ters reached Bloemfonteln he received a telegram which read: "G. T. M. wants house." The colonel was unable to make out what "G. T. M." meant, and inquired of officers, who translated it 'General Traffic Manager." "All right," said the colonel. "If he can n hieroglyphics so can I." So he wired back: "G. T. M. and G. T. H." Two days later he received a dispatch from Bloemfonteln ordering him to at tend a board of inquiry. On appear ing In due course he was asked what he meant by sending such an insult ing message to a superior officer. "In sulting," repeated the colonel, inno cently: "It was nothing of the kind." "But whut do you mean," demanded nls superior, "by telling me I can 'G. T. H.'?" "It was simply an abbrevia tion," replied the colonel. "G. T. M. (general traffic manager) can G. T. H. (get the house)." New York Herald. ( - V ft was liable to explode the dynamlt" and I ordered him sternly to stop and never to repeat such a performance. The proper method would have been to have drilled a new hole near by and exploded the first cartridge with a sec ond blast. He obeyed sullenly .grumb ling to himself, and In less than a month afterward was blown up while doing exactly the same thing. He lost his left arm at the shoulder, his left eye and part of his left ear. He al so lost his contempt for dynamite, and when he finally emerged from tho hospital I gave him back his former Job. I never had a more scrupulously careful employe than he waa from that time on. It seems a brutal thing to say, but there is nothing that does an old dynamite hand as much good as to get blown up once or twice." Weird Tale from the TarlHe Coaau The Chinese residents of North Ya kima have many sacks of rice supposed to have been poisoned by the official and missionaries In China. One mer chant has twenty sacks put away, and refuses to eat any or sell to the Chi nese. Those who claim to know say that at least $500 Is Invested In pois oned rice In that city. The rice Is sold to Americans, but the Chinese purchase their supplies from local merchants. They say that six years after eating the rice the victims die. The object of the poison, It Is said. Is to kill off all the Chinese In tho United States. Portland Orcgonlan. Hardy Explsrers of Many Countries Seeking Polar Centers. will be spared to Insure the success of tho undertaking.

Those en gaged In the business have secured canceled stamps of all denominations, washed them clean, regummed them and sold them. Now. however, the treasury chemists have found an olive gray ink for the stamp itself which will fade away if any attempt shall be made to wash out the cancellation mark. I'nfortunately, it haB proved impossible to blend this fugitive ink with any chemical producing an agree able color, and beauty has. therefore, been sacrificed to safety.

There Is every probability that early in next year the site of the Austra lian federal capital will be decided and competitive plans for laying it out in vited. The idea Is that it should be one of the finest cities of its kind in the world, enjoying a salubrious cli mate and possessing beautiful sur roundings. Only the public buildings will be constructed at the cost of the commonwealth, all others being left to private enterprise.

These, men find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them from catarrh of the vocal organs which has always been the bane of publie speakers, and general catarrhal debility Incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman. Among the recent utterances of noted clergymen on the cura tive virtues of Peruna is the following one from Bishop James A. Handy, D. D of Baltimore: "I take great pleasure in acknowledging the curative effects ot Peruna. At the solicitation of a Mend I used your remedy and cheerfully recommend your Peruna to all who want a good Tonic and a safe cure for catarrh." -James A. Handy. OTHER NOTABLE CURES.

He took six bottles of your medicine as di rected, and it proved to be just the thing for him. His appetite is good and every thing he eats seems to agree with him. His cough has left him and he is gaining in flesh, and seems to be well every way. I hope others will try your medicine and receive the benefits that we have." Mrs. Edward Stevens. When the ;atarrh reaches the throat it is called tonsilitis, or larnygitis. Ca tarrh of the bronchial tubes is called bronchitis; catarrh of the lungs, con sumption.
