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

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."

"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

"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

first night. The next day another got away
followed by n fusillade of bullets from his

CHANCE TO WIPE OUT DEBT
Treasurer Mortensen Thinkt it Can Be Done
in Fonr Tears.
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. The chief said the
time had come when the crooks throughout
the country knew that white beard and so
to disguise himself he shaved. Because of
his white beard and his peculiarly gentle
disposition the chief ha frequently been
mistaken fur the original victim of tho

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

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. Aorll 8.-The Zionist church
here today confirmed the deposition of John

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.
