Correspondent Writes of Journey In Texas and Mexico With a Party as Guests of the Southern Pacific Rail road. Gilson Willett. special correspond ent of Leslie's Weekly, writes enter tainingly of a thousand-mile horseback hunt in Texas and Mexico with a party as guests of the Southern Pacific rail road. The members of the party rep resented twelve different states. At Sabinas, Mexico, he says: "Over half of the thousand-mile jour ney has been completed and the fel lows who are here for their health are now hard as nails; those who came along with an appetite for pleasure are well-nigh satiated; and the sports men have brought in, day after day, incredibly huge bags of ducks, geese, rabbits, squirrels, and no end of small game, not to mention big hauls of deer, bear, wild turkeys and fish. All of which is due to about the most healthful region in the Union; to a section of country where pleasurable diversion is eternally at hand, and to a territory that is literally a sports man s paradise hitherto untrod and un shot and unfished." Mr. Willett bestows a deserved eulogy en the splendid hospitality of the Southern Pacific and the hearty welcome accorded the party in south ern cities from New Orleans onward. Visitors to southwest Texas will not need to be told of the really marvelous work done by the Southern Pacific in building up that section of the coun try. Mr. Willett says: "Then we again boarded our train and railroaded on for the most of a day. through a country in which the Southern Pacific lias caused a blade of grass not to speak of stalk of corn, cane or sugar, and hlos&om of cotton to flourish where none grew before. "Thirty miles farther inland on the San Uiego river we made our first camp in Mexico. After that our camps were from twenty to fifty miles apart. And thus we have progressed on our thousand-mile horseback hunt, passing through strange villages and seeing queer peon customs, visiting the headquarters of mighty ranches of a million acres, where the owners escort ed us to the Iront dcor with six hun dred white horses, or six hundred black horses, or six hundred bays, as the cae might be. and having all sorts of diversions of big hunts, and witnessing many kinds of unique bights in primitive and quaint old Mex ico. "Our first three or four camps were made on one of the largest ranches in the world the Trevino ranch of 1,000. liuo acres. Of this great ranch as big as a New England state as on all the other great ranches we have trav ersed, the Southern Pacific manage ment obtained all hunting and fishing privileges. "It was on the great Trevino rancl) that the healthseekers of the part first discoveied that they were get ting in Mexico exactly what they had come for a new constitution. The sportsmen of the party, too, were out late and up early on "the chase that pleaseth.' The motto always was to kill only such game, however plentiful it might be. as was actually needed foi consumption at our table, for the Southern Pacific stands for tho kill ing of game for food only." Many interesting stories of the dis trict traversed are related by Mr. WII lett. He concludes: "Thus on this trip every promise made by the Southern Pacific railroad has been -kept to the letter just as similar promises will be kept on the second annual thousand-mile hffr.se back hunting party already talked cl for next year." If you monkey with a, buzz-saw you may be compelled to write shorthand the rest of your days. GOOD ROADS SPECIAL. The Burlington and Northern Pacific Roads Will Run Train to Pacific Coast in Interest of Good Roads. Arrangements have been completed between the National Good Roads Association and the officials of the Burlington and Northern Pacific roads, to install a Good Roads Special over these systems, to leave Chicago Wednesday, May 3. It is to be known as the Burlington & Northern Pacific Lewis & Clark Good Roads Special, and will cover an itinerary of 45 to 50 of the principal and most progressive cities of the systems. The object of this itinerary is for the agitation, education and organiza tion of communities for permanent improvement of primary roads, and to aid cities in questions of street pav ing, etc. Government experts and men of national reputation will go on this Special, and participate in the conventions. The entire arrange ments, so far as the Burlington sys tem is concerned, have been passed over to the charge of W. H. Manss, Industrial Commissioner. After com pleting the itinerary of Burlington cities the Special will continue from Billings to the Pacific Coast, over the Northern Pacific, and will hold a final convention the last of June, to be known as the Pacific Coast National Good Roads Convention. The full equipment of the Special is provided for by the Burlington and Northern Pacific roads, whose object is to aid the cities on their systems in the im provement of public roads. The first stops will be in seven or eight prin cipal cities of Illinois, then a number of cities in Missouri, also in Iowa. Ne braska. Wyoming. Montana. Washing ton and Oregon. It is from the remembrance of joys we have lost that the arrows of af fliction are pointed. Mackenzie. Evry housekeeper should know that if they will buy Definace Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 1C oz. one full pound while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in -pound pack ages, and the price is the same. 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand De fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick ing.

President Says He Feels at Home in the Wilderness. FREDERICK. Okla. Presided Roosevelt r.nd party left Frederick shortly before 7 o'clock Saturday evening and arrived at the camp, eighteen miles southwest of town, a little after dark. The camps is nes tled in timber, fringing the bank of Deep Creek, in a picturesque spot, and when the president arrived, at C:15 o'clock Sunday morning, and first beheld the vast panorama of vir gin soil without a sign of civilization except the camp he said he felt at home. Major J. E. Mutchert of Sherman, with C. B. Mcllugh and J. R. Aber nathy of this place, located the camp last Monday, riding out to the big pas ture, which begins four miles east of here. A number of wolves were seen in this 4S0,0O0-acre reservation as they passed through. Tne camp con sists of about twenty tents, belonging to the presidential party, and is call ed Camp Roosevelt. One large tent is occupied as a mess hall, a number of tents being used for sleeping apartments, about four cots being placed in each tent. About a stone's throw from these tents is Camp Qua nah Parker, occupied by this noted chief of the Comanches, three of his squaws and other Indians. These In dians traveled over forty miles to get to see the president. A detail of twenty troops was sent from Fort Sill to keep tresspassers from this part of the reservation. Their camp is about 100 yards from that of Camp Roosevelt. The people here, how ever, appreciate the fact that the president is here for an outing and are remaining away from the pasture. Steamship Lines to Mexico. MEXICO CITY Cons'derable prog ress has been made toward the inau guration of a steamship line between Mexican gulf ports and Canada, and It is probable that steamers of the new line will begin trips in May. The question has arisen as to whether steamers shall call at Cuban ports as first intended and afterwards changed. The government objects to making stops at Cuban ports, but it is hoped to secure its consent to this. The regular service of the Mexico Texas City Steamship begins May 1. Case of Lieutenant Osborn.

LOUIS Governor Folk and Thomas E. Mulvihill. excise commis sioner of St Louis, are investigating the interpretation of the state law governing the closing of saloons on Sunday, and Commissioner Mulvihill declares that he will enforce the law. Just when St. Louis will become "dry" on Sunday is not yet decided, as Mr. Mulvihill says: "I want to be sure that I shall be successful in en forcing the law and hence I wish to make my preparations with delibera tion." General Strike Imminent. WARSAW Increasing unrest in la bor circles is notable and well inform ed men are of the opinion that another general strike is imminent. A large manufacturer in a neighboring town refused a big contract last week be cause after conferring with leaders among his workmen he was convinced that all his employes would walk out within a month in spite of the man ufacturer's assurance that the em ployes would profit equally with him self by remaining to comple the contract WANT LAND ALLOTTED. What is Demanded by the Standing Rock Indians. FORT YATES, N. D. In a great council called by Major McLaughlin, the Indians of the Standing Rock agency decided almost unanimously that they were ready to have their lands allotted. Each head of a fam ily will have fi40 acres and all over 18 years 320 acres. In addition they will get a span of good American mares, two cows, a wagon and har ness, a plow, harrow, some other tools and $50 in cash. All under 18 will get 1C0 acres. After the allotments have been made there will be a big surplus of land. The Indians are bitterly oppos ed to selling this and it is doubtful if it will ever be sold with their con sent Each head of a family will be worth $1,000 in addition to his 640 acres when Uncle Sam relinquishes his guardianship and turns these Indians over to the states of North and South Dakota as full-fledged citizens. Between 1.000 and 1.200 voters will be equally divided between the two states. The question of leasing their lands was also placed before the Indians by Major McLaughlin, but they decided against it. LUMBER KINGS UNDER FIRE Federal Grand Jury Orders Secretary to Produce Books. PORTLAND. Ore. Charles W. Eberlin, land agent of the Southern Pacific company, was the principal witness Thursday before the federal grand jury which is investigating land frauds in this state. It is report ed that Eberlin's testimony may prove an important factor in estab lishing a conspiracy to secure large areas of timber lands in the south ern part of Oregon. This testimony, it is learned on good authority, cor roborated by the records of the Southern Pacific company, estab lishes the fact that simultaneously with the securing of a large amount of railroad land which comprised the odd numbered sections, large tracts of government InmL, which comprised the even numbered sections of the same district, were located upon. The government, it is learned, will attempt to prove that this simultan eous acquiring of the even and odd sections was more than a coincidence. MADE A MISTAKE IN THE BID Not Allowed to Amend It Nor to Take Down His Check. WASHINGTON Suit was insti tuted by G. B. Spearin of Bayonne. N. J., to compel Admiral Endicott. chief of the bureau of yards and docks of the navy department, to deliver to him a certified check for $25,000 lor can cellation.

Mr. Spearin says, de clines to have his bid amended by the addition of H'0.000. taking the posi tion that he would accept the bid as originally made. In case his amended bid was not accepted he asked, that he bo given back his check. Admiral Endicott, it is averred, refused to ac cept the amended bid or to return the check.

WHAT BAROH SUCEMATSU SAYS Japanaese Government Has Formu lated No Terms Because Might Be Accused of Skinning Bear Before It Was Shot LONDON Baron Suyematsu, for merly Japanese minister of the inter ior, has written an interesting and sig nificant article for the Outlook, under the heading "War and Indemnity the Japanese Claim." The whole trend of the article Is intended to show that Japan will carry on the war until Russia consents to pay indem nity. The baron says: "A canon of the Japanese bushido is. 'one should not unsheath the sword unless one is to totally overcome or has secured equitable satisfaction for one's cause. This is our ideal in in ternational intercourse. The sword of Japan is drawn, and the aim for which it was unsheathed has scarcely been attained. We want a peace which will secure tranquility in the far east for at least a generation or two. "The world should know that in the present war Japan staked her very existence, whereas with the enemy it was a mere war of caprice. Why, then, in case of defeat, should not Russia be made responsible in equitable ac cordance with the nature of the affair? I believe therefore, that in case of the adversary asking for peace the satisfaction which she will have to make to Japan should include making good the material locs of Japan; in other words, indemnity." Baron Suyematsu says further: "Japan has not formulated definite terms of peace because she might be accused of skinning the bear before it is shot. We have, however, outlined our idea." The article argues out the right eousness ot Japan's position in de manding indemnity as a baic condi tion, and controverts the idea which, he says, he finds prevalent outside of Japan. t':at Japan is willing to make peace at any price. "Seme say." the baron continues, "that lor humanity's sake an armistice should be concluded with a view to negotiating peace. It is all very well to talk of hitmanitv. but no injustice must be perpetrated in the name of humanity. If a proposition arising out of the question of humanity gives more advantage to one than another of the contending parties it cannot be justice." Baron Suyematsu treats sarcastical ly the special plea that Russia should be allowed to "save her face." and compares Japan to a dwarf fighting a giant, and says: "The public at large seeing to have guaged the relative value of Russia and Japan. They are glad that the large bubble which had boon causing a nightmare to so nnny people for so long a time has been picked. They have seen that it was no use to sup press Japan's aspiration by the com bined force of western powers. Yet there seems floating in the air some sort of compassion for our adversary. This 1 deem an inconsistency, arising out of some psychological instability." EARTHQUAKE KILLS MANY. Nearly Five Hundred Indian Soldiers Entombed by Collapse of Barracks. CALCUTTA It now appears that 400 of the Seventh Gurkhas were killed at the Dharmsala cantonment by the collapse of a stone barrack building in consequence of the recent earthquake. In addition twenty mem bers of the First battalion and fifty members of the Second battalion of the First Gurkhas ere killed, while it is roughly calculated that from 20 to 30 per cent of the native popula tion of the surrounding villages were killed. In addition to the Europeans al ready reported killed at Dharmsala. seven children of Europeans are said to have perished. LAHORE, India Four hundred and seventy men of Gurkha regiments were buried alive as a result of the earthquake at the Hill station of Dharmsala. according to the latest information from that place. The re port adds that it is impossible to res cue the entombed men. The greatest difficulty is exper ienced in procuring news from Dharm sa'a. The telegraph staff at the sta tion there was practically wiped out and temporary office has been opened thirteen miles from the town, but the facilities are most scanty. The Kan gra valley is believed to have been devastated and it is reported that the town of Kangra was reduced to ruins with great loss of life. No confirma tion of the report is obtainable as the telegraph station at Kangra is wreck ed. Purpose of Watering Erie Stock. NEW YORK It was ascertained that the increase in the common stock of the Erie railroad company from $113,000,000 to $1:53.000,000 recently announced was made to prepare for a conversion of its outstanding $10,000. 000 of convert Mile bonds, which have been convertible since April 1. This amount is necessary to care for the bonds, since they are convertible into stock at S50 a share. This calls for twenty shares of stock for each $1,000 bond, and the stock is now selhng at 46. Four Mine Operator Held. BIRMINGHAM. Ala.

The doc tors told me my kidneys were af fected and pre scribed medicine:- for me. but I found that it 'was only a waste of .time and money to take them, and began to tear that I would never get well. A friend advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. Within a week after I began using them I was so much better that I de cided to keep up the treatment, and when I had used a little over two boxes I was entirely well. I have now enjoyed the best of health for more than four months, and words can but poorlv express my gratitude." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo, N.Y. Private and Government Property. There is a difference between gov ernment and public property. While all property owned by a nation or municipality is government property, still there is a part of that which is public property, as, for instance, parks and libraries, which may be used by the general public. Forts be long to the army and ships to the navy are government property, but are not for the use of the general public. Ways of Spe'lling Smith.

In the Spring. Lowndes. Mo., April 10th. Mrs. II. C. Harty of this place, tays. "For years I was in very bad health. Every spring I would get so low that I was unable to do my own work. I seemed to be worse in the spring than any other time of the year. I was very weak and miserable and bad much pain in my back and head. I saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised last spring and began treatment of them and they have certainly done me more good than anything I have ever used. "I was all right last spring and felt better than 1 hae for over ten years. I am fifty years of age and am strong er to-day than I have been for many years and I give Dodd's Kidney Pills credit for the wonderful improve ment." The statement of Mrs. Harty in c:i?r one of a great many where Dodd's Kidney Pills have proven themselves to be the very best spring medicine. They are unsurpassed as a tonic and are the only medicine used iu thou sands of families. It is ever so much easier to be nice to people iar below you in social sta tion than to those just on the next lower step of the ladder. LYMAN COUNTY EXTENSION. The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway has decided upon an exten sion of its line from Chamberlain west through Lyman County, opening up a region of cheap lands, rich in agricultural resources, and in which there is already much deeded land, also a large acreage that may be had under the homestead law. Lyman County is in the southern part of South Dakota, adjoining the Rosebud Indian Reservation on the north. The soil of Lyman County is one of the richest in the state. It has pro duced corn of an excellent quality, having taken first prize at the Mitch ell Corn Palace during several of the past exhibits. It is well adapted to the growth of wheat, oats, barley, speltz. and other small grains. Land Is selling now at the rate of from $.r to $12 an acre, and as soon as the railway extension is made it is safe to say that such lands will increase in value from 100 to 200 per cent. All that Lyman County has lacked heretofore has been ability to get products across the Missouri river to markets. The extension of the Chi cago. Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway will solve that problem and will make it one of the richest sections in the West. . It takes sunshine in the soul to ripen the fruits of the spirit. WHO OWNS THE RAILROADS? H. T. Newcomb of the District of Columbia Ear, has compiled statistics showing that f,174.718 depositors in savings banks of six eastern states are directly interested in the joint ownership of $442,331,0SC of steam rcilroad securities, that insurance companies doing business in Massa chusetts hold S8-15.SS9.038 of steam railroad stocks and bonds and 71 edu cational institutions depend on $47. 408,327 invested in similar securities lor a portion of their income. Other fiduciary institutions own enough railroad securities to bring such hold ing up to more than a billion arid a half dollars, about one-sixth of the entire capital invested in railroad property.
