ho principal in the government treas-

xgaiust Agent Mathowsou , the report
sdys : "President Roosevelt hns asked
ho secretary of the interior to do uoth-
ng in relation to the charges against
\gont Mathowsou of the Omaha nud
Winuobngo agency in Nobraskn until he
ms had time to review the report of
Special Inspector Churchill who was
sent there to investigate the ngouoy. It
s known iu department circles that
Special Inspector Churchill's report ex
onerates Mathewsou from any connect-
on with land leases as charged , nud
hat it commouds the agent for his work
u behalf of the Indians. The report
does not say that the Omaha nud Win-
uobago agency is the best conducted res
ervation in the world , but it does say
hat with the conditions inherited by
Mr. Mathowson it cannot bo scon how a
better condition of affairs could bo ob
tained. Until the prosidout is able to
take up the Omaha and Wiunobago
matter , in view of his present indisposl-
ion , it is problomatio when Secretary
Hitchcock will render an opinion as to
the charges filled ngiiiust Agent Math-
owson nud those who nro charged
with fraudulently securing laud lenses. "

Conductor R9bort Craft of the F. E

the injury is the interesting portion of

he had n pass , which he was unable to
show. The sheriff was unknown to Mr

was refused. The conductor then
started to put the man off the train and
iu the scnftlo that ensued the belligor
out passenger bit the conductor's thnmi
through to the bone. The injury would
have been more serious but the passen
ger had no upper teeth and the pnnc
tare was therefore through but ono side
of the conductor's thumb.

neither the time nor the money to com
to this country for the marriage , that
special system of etiquette has boon
evolved to suit the sltua.ion. The mar
riage usually takes place at sea. Th
groom engages a steam launch and , ao
companied by the minister and nu in
tlmate friend or two moots the stoame
some distance out from Manila. Th
marriage takes place in the midst of th
ship's people with whom the bride has
made the long voyage and who have be
come her friends. In this way the inor
strict conventionalities of the southern
people are not infringed. When Mis
Alice Cowdery goes to the Philippines , a
she will very soon marry Mr. Mortime
L , Stewart , she will be mot near Mauil

finally corrected the deformity , and a
plaster of paris cast was applied. "
