A Young Girl Said to a Cooking School Teacher in New York: "If You Make One Statement as False as That, All You Have Said About Foods Is Absolutely Unreliable." This burst of true American girl indigna tion waa caused by the teacher saying that Urape-Nuts, the popular pre-dlgested food, was niada of stale, bread whipped In and sveetened. The teacher colored up and changed the j subject. . . j There is quite an assortment of traveling i and stuy-at-home' members of the tribe of i Ananias who tell their falsehoods for a vu- nety of reasons. .... in the spriiuc It is the custom on u caUlu ranch to, have a "round-up," and brand tlio cattle, so wo are going to huve a "round up." and brand these cattle and place them in their proper pastures. KIHHT PASTVRK Conking school teachers this in cludes "teachers" who have applied to us fo.r,A weekly pay it J-hcy would say "something nice" " about" Grape-Nuts and Postum. and when -we have dc rlhied to lilre' them to do hla they get waspy and show their true colors.

This game little doctor conduits a small magazine In which there is a department of "answers to correspondents, " many "of the ques tions as well as the answers being written by the aforesaid doctor. In this column some time ago ap peared the statement: "No, we cannot recommend the use of Qrape-Nuts, lor It 'la nothing but bread with glucose poured over It." Right then he showed his badge as a member of the tribe of Ananias. He may have been a mem ber for some time before, and so ho tuts caused these "lecturers" to de scend into the ways of the tribe wherever they go. When the young lady in New York put the "Iron on" to this "teacher" and branded her right, we sent lu.00 to the girl for her pluck and bravery. 8KCDXO PASTl'RK Fditors of "Trade" papers kn"wn a grocers' pspers. Remember, we don't put the brand on all, by any mean. Only those that require It. Thee member of the tribe have demanded that we cany advertis ing In their paper and when we do not consider It advisable they Institute a campaign of vituperatlou and slander, printing from time to time manufac tured slur on Postum or Grape-Nuts. Whea they go far enough we set our legal force at work, and hale them to the judge to aiwwer. If the pace ha been hot enough to throw some of these "cattle" over on their backs, feet tied and "bellowing," do you ttynk we should be blamed? They gambol around with tail held high and jump tiff-legged with a very "cocky" air while they have full range, but when the rope 1 thrown over them 'it' dif ferent." Should we untie them because they bleat soft aud low? Or should we put the Iron on, so that people will know the brand? Let' keep them in thla pasture, any how. Grap venience we suffered was from their mu-1 steal proclivities. They laid awake nights beating n sort of rhythmic tom-tom oh their Improvised drums nf rawhide., skins stretched over hollow dishes, which was nut conducive to peaceful elumler. Our sympathies were with them, as with the 'under dog,' because In numbers they were no match for the Hiout nation. We had nothing to fear front the Pino for they were at peace with the whites, and no white or part white was In danger. .As proof of this a hftlfbreed Frenchman, with his Pawnee squaws, occupied during the trouble a log shanty I owned, and he told me that he was In the village when the enemy arrived, and was told by them thnt while they were not dead In love with the whiter (fople he had nothing to fear, but If ho hml any Pawnee squaws In his Imrem they promised to have their sculps.

Many or these editors are "Locoed" from hate of anyone who will not In stantly obey the "demand" of a luoor union and It Is tho universal habit of such writers to go straight into a sys tem of personal vilification, manufac turing uny sort of falsehood through which lb vent their spleen.

The second day out. at the Junction of Rock creek with the Elkhotn, we met the bal ance of the expedition, which brought our numbers up to Territorial Governor Black, who was supposed to be In com mand, and General Thayer, then a general of militia and without previous military service, were In charge. The governor had distinguished himself In the Mexican war, was an able soldier and finally died at the head of his regiment of Pennsylvania troops In the battle of Beven Tines before Rich mond. On our trip he wa addicted to a free use of the "ardent." and so completely Incapacitated that the active command was left with Oeneral Thayer.

"We went on up the Klkhorn and came up with the Indiana near a stream now known as Rattle creek. The active command was given to Lieutenant Robinson and pluna were laid for an attack at sunrise. We broke camp at 3 In the morning. and at Minrlse met the enemy. They were eariy risers, also having got wind of our ap proach and were already three miles up the river. We were delayed for some time gtltlng our artillery, a small four-pounder brass piece, across the creek.

Our business haa always been conducted on a high a grade of human intelligence as we are capable of, and we propose to clear the deck of these prevaricator and liar whenever and wherever they can be found. Attention is again called, to the general and broad Invitation to visitors to go through our works, where they will be J shown the most minute process und device in order that they may understand how pure and cleati und wholesome Grape-Nuts and Postum are. There is an old saying among business men that there is some chance to train a fool, but there is no room for a liar, for you never can tell where you are, and we hereby serve notice on all the members of this ancient tribe of Ananias that they muy follow their calling in other lines, but when ; lerson would lie unout one Item, it brands the whole discourse as absolutely unrella- command In the lead. The Indians cut loose from all superfluous hsggage and took to cover In the brush and high weeds long the river bank. "This 'charge' cov ered about three miles nd was a sort of Bull Run on the part of the Indians. "A line of battle was formed, theartllleiy loaded with grape and cannlster, but not an Indian was In night. This stae of affairs did not long continue. Indiana began to stick up their heads here and there and a move nn nt was evidently taking place to cut oft our line of retreat, which was regarded by ns with nuch Interest and solicitude, and there was a sort of Babel of Voices 'as to what to do. 1 had been riding an old mare who had seen her best days. The charge made her tired and she laid down at this Juncture. 1 expected to fire my mjsket once, but as to the future "didn't know." The governor now appeared a very sober man. Indeed. Robinson was there with his sergeant and their heavy army re volvers. Marshall est snd also General Thayer. The general was perfectly cool and unconcerned. Thayer Meets Mkara-le-hara. 'Must at this moment while we were wail ing to know what to do, old Skarsx-le-Skara. whom we Fremonters well knew, a second chief of the upper village, rode out In full sight, naked except for a breech clout, and made signs of peace. He wa not more than fifty yards away when Mar shall West and the sergeint beg"an shoot ing at him. but failed to hit him.' The tar get practice ceased. Oeneral Thayer rode out alone between the 4wo opposing forces. It seemed to us a foolhardy act, bit was one of cool bravery and resulted, I believe. In changing what might have been the history of this part of the state. Pete-le-Shara. the head chief, then rode out alone and met the general between the lines. It was the first time the two had met since at tho Pawnee council at the big village on the bluffs south nf Fremont four years before. They shook hands snd came over to our lines. Through an Interpreter, he wanted to know what was the 'ruction' and what was wauled. He was told of the depredations and that the depredator were to be delivered up to us. He replied thut the tribe bad no desire for trouble and this should be done. "Then commenced a thrilling scene. The Indians In large number had now gathered round and the chief harangued them In a wild, Impetuous manner, for at least an hour. The excitement was intense and the chief was evidently doing his best to re strain his warriors, ille ended by saving to us through an fiterpreter: 'You are but a handful. I could wipe you out easily, but you have many more than we have behind you. This we know well and have known long and peace shall always continue as It has between the I'awnees and the white people. Here are four young men who I am told have been making the trouble. Take them with you and do with them as you will." War that Waa o War. "This ended the Pawnee war, which was no war at all. It might have been other wise. If the nerve of Marshal West and the sergeant had ' been steadier and their aim better when they wantonly and without orders fired at Skara-lc-8hara and had they killed him as he. unarmed and naked, rode along our line, the pioneers of Nebraska would have all been wiped out by a bloody border war after tiie massacre of our little force und the settlement of our fair lund put off at least one generation. "The four men were delivered to us and we started home, heading snutli for Columbus, and passing large camps of Oinahas, who were evidently oil hand to help the Paw nees. One of our prisoners escaped the first night. The next day another got away followed by n fusillade of bullets from his guards. We had not gone far before we were halted by trie Irate Omahas and told of the great damage to theni by reason of the incident, such. a the killing or horses, to say nothing of the muimlng of people. Matter were amicably settled by giving u tine black horMs. awncd by Moreland, one of . the guard, to'-ahe Omahas. . We were discharged at (uiunbus and never received any pay or drew- pensions. The Fremont detachment reached home after seventeen days absence to find our scanty fieldB of corn dried up from lack of care and we had to pay the few who stayed at home u bltf round price for that necessary ,cum modity the following winter."

LEGISLATURE MlbT BE ECONOMICAL Sheldon Hill Will Accomplish etalaa If Appropriation Are Permitted to Pile 1 p Charges Against Aslum Investigated. li'rom a Pt.ifT Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 8. (Special. )-State Treasurer Morlenen is of the opinion the state debt can bf paid off within four years If proper buslnesn methods are adopted In the management of the state's affairs. The debt at this time is over the fci.i.W.iXHJ mark, or about what It was six years ago. During the piesent year, how ever, Mr. Mortensen believes It will be re. duced probably jrmO.OU). Most of the heavy expenses Incurred during the last year, because of the appropriations made by the last legislature, have been paid and there will be no heavy drain on the treasuij until after the next legislature meets. The next bgislatute cin ugalu make the state debt mount higher nd It is for this reason Mr. Mortensen desires to impress upon the people the necessity of electing good business men to tue legislature and to elect a good, careful business man as governor. The last legislature enacted a j law whereby a mill levy is made on the I total assessed valuation of the state, to h I used In paying off the state debt, but there are some expenses to come, out of this levy, so It Is figured this will net the slate In the neighborhood of lano,ooo a year. This, of course, will go a long way in making up the amount necessary to put the state on a cash basis with no Interest-beating debt to take care of. Mr. Mortensen says there Is no occasion for the next legislature to be extravagant, because the state needs no new buildings, insofar as the rtate Institutions are con cerned, and these Institutions are now In first-class condition nnd very little money need be appropriated to keep them that wa y. ' "The last two legislatures were com pelled to appropriate large sums because of the condition of the state institutions and tho need of new buildings. No new buildings arc needed now. "The only way the stale debt can ever be paid." said Mr. Mortensen. "Is to cut down the legislative appropriations. Tho voters of the state shoutd bear this In mind when they are selecting a governor and a legislature. The governor should be a man who has the best Interests of the state at heart and who will use his veto power on all appropriations not absolutely necessary. The Sheldon bill will ma terially help pay off the debt, providing the expenses do not keep up with It. Great responsibility will rest with the governor, because he not only has the power of veto, but he Is also a member of the Hoard of Assessment. He should be a man who will not he Influenced by politicians to sign ap propriation bills, but should be a man who Is callable of looking after the Interests of the entire state. I'nder proper manage ment and a conservative legislature I be lieve the debt could be paid off within four years." Governor Investigates Charge. Governor Mickey returned last night from Norfolk, where he had gone to in vestigate charges of cruelty to the Inmate of the Insane asylum. As a result of the visit several of the employes have been put on probation and unless they make good they will he removed. While Gover nor Mickey found there was ground for the charges, which were filed with hint some days ago by a man named "Wolf, formerly in charge of the farm work of the asylum, he' Is of the opinion-most of the, cruelty charged ws due to the lack of experience on the part of tho employes. He learned also thst employes against whom the most complaints had been filed had already been removed previous to his visit. Some time, ago the governor aaid. In mates of the asylum were playing cards and got Into a fight. The guard who was looking after them was unable to separ ate them and called for assistance. It took four or five men to overpower the mad men and within ten days one of the insane persons engaged in the fight died. Wolf wrote the governor his death was duo to Injuries received from the guards who tried to separate the men In tho fight. The man who died was subject to epilepsy and the governor was unable to discover whether his treatment had anything to do with his death. "The medical department, under charge of Dr. Nicholson," said the governor, "wa well handled and he found no complaints about the management of this part of the Institution. The employes were all cau tioned against using violence in handling patients and will be given another trial before drastic measures are taken." Chief Clip Nil Heard. Chief of Police Cooper who. as far back as the oldest Inhabitant can remember, has worn a beautiful wnite beard, ap peared on the street this morning with hi adornment cut off.

YQL1YA PREPARES FOR DOWIE (Continued from First Page.) give their assent to this arrangement by rising to their feet. The response this time was as concerted as when asked for the approval of his leadership of Zlon. After the meeting the KW 7.lon guards employed to keep order In the city were worn In to support Vollva In nil his indei takings and all took the oath of al legiance With the exception of one. A message wa received from Dowle dur ing the afternoon stating that he would reach Zlon City next Tuesday morning and ordering Shilnh house, his residence In Zion City, to be prepared for his home coming. Vollva after reading this mes sage stated In emphatic terms that lKwle would not lie allowed to even enter the door of what formerly wa his Zion City home. norrle llrfrnd Himself. 8AN AN TO Nro, Tex. April l.-Dr. Dowle and his- party left tonight shortly before (I o'clock for St. l.ouls. The train was delayed nt San Antonio and this was taken advantage of by the local Zlonlles, who arranged for a meeting at which Dr. Dowle was to speak. Kvery seat In the local church was filled fully an hour before the leader wa to make his appearance. Previous to the coming of Dowic, L. C. Hall, pastor of the local Zionist church, made a vigorous address In which he de fended Dowic at every point. Preacher Hall made the statement that every man, woman and child In Texas who was connected with the Zionist move ment endorsed everything "that the "First Apostle"' had done and believed thoroughly In his Innocence. He ssld: "I believe before my God that the 'First Apostle' will be vindicated and cleared of these malicious and cruel charges. Tf he Is not, then may God demolish Zion." When Dowle entered the hall the audi ence aroac and sang a hymn of praise. He walked down the center aisle, bowing and tittering "God lie with thee." For ten minutes Dowle and the audience prave-1 together to banish the devil from Z! Then Dowle told his story to the expect., people. His entire address was centered about the subjects of polygamy and the conduct of his wife. The audience was with him In all that he said, even when he bitterly disparaged Mrs. Dowie. A dramatic- incident oceured after Dowle had been speaking about twenty minutes, when Mrs. Emma Rapp and her husband urose and fnced the apostle. The audience craned their necks forward In tense expectation. Tell of Domestic Life. "Have you anything to say, sister?'' said the venerable leader. "1 lived In your house for a nuniber of years," said tin woman, "nnd t want to tell these people here that never was there a kinder husband or a better Christian gentleman. I want to say also that when your every uct was one of kindness and consideration to Mrs. Dowie she made life Insufferable fot you by her insane jealousy and fiendish perversity. I often wondered how you could be so kind under the condi tions that exii ted. I make this statement of my own free will because God ha told me to Bpeak." Dowle closed with an appropriate perora tion. In which he declared that so long as breath remained in his body he would fight for the rehabilitation of Zion. "I have not long to live," he concluded, "but I pray thut God may spare me Just long enough to win this fight. Then I shall be willing to go to that long sleep, knowing that I shall be eased to the last by the 'well done, thou good and -faithful servant,' which will be uttered by all of my people, for they will have seen the - light': and learned that John Alexander. 'First Apos tle,' wa chosen by God to give the word to Zion." When Dowie returned to his hotel the special correspondent 6f the Associated Pres presented him with the following telegram, which arrived when his people were making their pledge of loyalty: "At Zion City today everybody wn for Vollva. Communicate this to Dowle," Dowie seemed somewhat shocked at the bluntness of the message, but declared that It would be unwise for mm to make any comment on It at the present time, owing to the fact that it might betray hi plan of battle. Support for Dowle. ST. LOC1S. April 8. A large gathering of the foflower of John Alexander Dowle, held here today, declared In favor of sup porting him and denounced the charge: formulated by Overseer Vollva a a "wicked and malicious betrayal of a sa cred trust and the work of the devil." The charges against Dowle were taken up one by one and explained by Rev. Archie Ar rlngton, elder In charge, who then 'called for a vocal expression from the congrega tion, who loudly declared their allegiance to Dowle. LONDON.

LIBERALS ARE TRIUMPHANT Success in Kuwia i Beyond Anythine They Had Hoped For. NOT ONE REACTIONARY HAS BEEN CHOSEN nesnlt Indicate Constitution lnt Be Proclaimed or the Assembly Dissolved ns no ns It Meets. ST. PRTKRSBl'KO. April 8 -The elec toral colleges In twenty-eight out of the fifty-one provinces In F.uropean RiiFsia to day elected 178 members to the national parliament about one-third of Us rntlrn membership and returns received up to midnight Indicate that the wildest hnpen of the liberals have lcen realised, the con stitutional democrats and o'her progfj slvlsts 'practically everywhere. having gained a tremendous victory over the Oc toberlsts nnd other conservative parties. Ae far as ascertainable, not a single reaction ary candidate pulled through and nowhere did even the Octolxrlsts score a triumph. The majorities obtained by the radicals clinch the character of the victory. From the Volga to the frontier of Poland and from the still. Ice-liound coast of Arrhanri to the Plnck Pea. the lory le f ubstantlally the same. One of the astonishing ns well as hopeful, signs for the future. Is the character of many of the peasants elected. Before the electoral college began to select the mem bers allotted a province, the peasants sep arately chose one of their nuniber as can didate. This provision wss designed to appease the peasants and was regarded by the government ns Insuring a conservative nucleus, but this has been sadly upset, for In - almost every Instance the peasants elected not only were progressives, but the most highly educated among their class, the majority of them at least having a hlgli school education. A peasant In Sim birsk, named Altadln, was educated In Knaland. Peasant Are Radical. In the Volga district and central pro vinces, where famine and agrarian dis orders have iK-en the greatest, the peasant vote was most radical. In Samara, by a vote of ft! to 3. they chose M. Cuttundont, a socialist, while the members elected by the college were n doctor, four lemstvolsts and five progressive peasants. In faraway Vfn, the bordrr territory, the Orenburg Cossacks returned a solid, pro-, grcsslve delegation, consisting of four Rus sians nnd six Mussulmans. The effect of the revolutionary outbreaks nt Sebastopol was reflected In the results In Tnurlda. which includes the whole of the Crimea, where the pcusiints rhose a social revolutionist. In the provlne of Grodno. In the Jewish pale, a atilid progressive delegation was chosen, Including two Jews. Tver, where Governor General Slept isnlT was assassinated Saturday, was swept by the constitutional democrats by an over whelming majority. Ivan Pctrunkevllch. the leader of the constitutional democrats and against whom the opposition waa con centrated, and MM. RodlchefT and Kua mlnkavarleff were triumphantly elected. While no detlnlbe result of the municipal elections held today arc known, they seem also everywhere to have gone In favor of tho progressives. In Minsk province the radical Russians and Jew nrid Poles formed a coalition and decided to put up it Joint ticket comprised of four Jews, two Pole and one Russian. Today's results prove beyond question that the calculations of the government have been rudely upset-and that the op position elements will control the national parliament by a decisive majority. Premier Wltte' effort to Induce Kmperop Nicholas to proclaim a constitution should now be greatly reinforced. Another crisis plainly confronts the gov ernment, for the sweeping character of their victory undoubtedly will encourage the liberals to push the government to the wall, and It would seem that the emperor must yield to the entreaties of those who counsel a final surrender by Issuing a con stitution to the people or dispersing the na tional Parliament as soon as It assembles. There seem no alternative except the choice of one of these two courses. AMI SE.MKT. Boyd's rsi Hps. TONIGHT AT I 15 RICHARD CARLE in The Mayor of Tokio.
