Remnant ol Pottawattomies at Dowaciac Receive Moneu lor Ancient Land Claims on Ghicaoo Lake Front.
Dowagiac, Mich., Jan. 18 Pokagon's band of Pottawatomie indians sold their birthright yes terday in the disputed territory fronting on the Lake Shore drive in Chicago. Each received or -will receive his mess of pottage m the shape of a $100 check. Robert Bines, a Board of Trade man of Chicago, made the first payment at 4 o'clock to Hi Kay-Ka-Ke, one of the old men of the tribe. Three minutes later the check was presented to F. W. Lyle president of the City National Bank of Dowagiac and Hi Kay-Ka-Ke walked out with a handful of crisp bills that represented his share in the property that is worth millions. By 5 o'clock eighteen such checks had been -honored, and thin payment was discontinued until today. All who were paid were those members of the tribe who live live away from Dowagiac and 321 Indians men, women and children are here waiting for the money that represents wealth and fortune. The alleged claim of Pokagon and his remnant of Pottawatomie Indianas is based on a dispute over two early surveys of the north shore extending from the mouth of the Chicago river indefinitely toward Waukegan. It has always been held in the United States land office, excepting while Commissioner Lamoreaux was there, that the shore line in the deed from the Indians to the government was practically as it now exists. The Indian claim, however, is that the shore line at that time would now be a considerable distance inland, and that the natural accretions forming shore residence property were subsequent to the release of the Pottawattomie claims. The land lying between the earlier and the later shore line, comprising among other pieces, Lake Shore drive property, is what is in alleged dispute.
It nas been claimed by William H. Cox, of Chicago, that he long ago acquired the Pottawattomies' ''claims" to the land. Cox secured from Land Commissioner Lamoreaux, during the Cleveland administration, an opinion favorable to the Indian contention. This decision was at once reversed by the secretary of the interior. Lamoreaux left his office, being succeeded by Commissioner Herman, who also decided against the claim. The Indian claim has no direct connection with the Streeter claim. The Indians have held possession of this little town today. They have filled the streets, looking into the shop windows at pianos, ribbons, caps, gloves, guns, and knives; deciding, or trying to decide, upon what they will purchase when they get their money. Indians who had not exchanged greetings since the government paid them five years ago, held reunions on every street corner. The squaws and papooses hung together, while the braves and old men held pow wows and exchanged tobacco. The pipe of peace, which was represented by a cheap cigar, was handed about, while tli9 smokers talked of the probilities of the wheat and corn crops and of the awful possibility of the money never being paid. There was but little drinkinsr andliot an Indian was arrested. The laws of Michigan do not allow the saloons to sell liquor to the Indians. This was evaded, of course. The white men would buy whisky in bottles for them. The Indians all seem to think they are getting something for' nothing. The bancL-which has, since the days of the Pottawattomies, Sacs, Foxes and Chippewas, roamed about the great lakes, always maintained its tribal organization, and has been governed by their own laws, claims all the land along the lake front in Chicago. Topash, who is the great man of the tribe, is firm in that belief. At the same time ho did not believe that his people of themselves could recover it. ITo cno can say what will take Yl'zi Trhcn the ycur: men of the

tribe are paid. The scenes of five years ago may be repeated. At that time the Indians bought pianos which they never learned to play and other articles equally ussless to them. Horses and carriages were in great demand at that time. When the supply was exhausted onelndian with a largo family is said to have bought a hearse and with his family loaded inside drove proudly on the seat above. FAVOR SHIP SUBSIDY Senate Committee Reports on the Frye Measure. Washington, D. C, Jan. 18 The senate committee on commerce yesterday authorized a favorable report on Senator Frye's ship-subsidy bill. The report will be made by Senator Frye. The democratic members of the committee voted against reporting the bill. They also voted solidly for a motion offered by Senator Mallory to strike out the general subsidy provision cf the bill. The committee made several amendmeuts to the bill. The most important were: Allowing mail-carrying vessels under the bill to be either non or steel, instead of steel only, as originally provided, and anoth r reducing to 1,000 gross registered tons the vessels receiving a bounty under the bill. The report prepared by Sanator Frye, was read to the committee. It says that the purpose of the bill is to establish the maritime supremacy of the United States in trade with Asia and in the gulf of Mexico and the Carribbean; to establish thoroughly trade between the United and South American republics, and to give the United States a respectable representation on the North Atlantic. The claim is made that all these results will be acomplished within ten years. KILLED BY AN EARTHQUAKE Mexican State Suffers a Terrible Calamity Hundreds Dead. Mexico City, Jan. 18 One of the most terrible catastrophes in the history of the state of Guerrero is reported to have occurred late Thursday afternoon, when an extremely violent earthquake shock was felt at Chilpanzingo, causing a great loss of life and injuring many persons. Details from the stricken district are very meager, but scattering reports received here indicate that prooably 300 persons were killed and as many more injured. It is known that the state capitol, the parish church, and many business houses and residences are in ruins, and there is much suffering as a result of the awful seismic disturbance. One of the edifices that suffered most was the federal telegraph office, which explains the paucity of news that has so far reached this city. A CONVERTED DEMOCRAT He is Now Chairman of a Republican Committee. Noblestille, Ind., Jan. 1G Elbert M.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE. Conveniences For the Tsa Drinking English Ladles. New designs or modifications in the line of household conveniences possess a perennial interest for the housewife, particularly the alert American who keeps watch for everything that will lighten the work of the household or is calculated to add to the convenience or comfort of the members of the family. Ingenious as are our Yankee inventors, they do not enjoy the complete monopoly in the way of inventiveness. In the land where afternoon tea holds such ' sway as in England it is to be expected that some genius Avould find a way to make it easy for the tea drinker to handle his cup of liquid refreshment and the accompanying biscuit or cake at the same time. A little contrivance has been devised which is attached by means of a clip to the teacup and a handy and practical resting place for the cracker, sandwich, etc., is thus provided. The tea infuser with its long handle is another convenience that will appeal to the dispenser of this popular beverage. Claret and water jugs, tea and coffee pots, cream and milk ewers are appearing nowadays in classic form, and many of the new designs are copies of old Roman, Etruscan and Italian patterns. They ere ornamental as well as useful.
Polish For Hardwood Tables. -Polished tables and doilies are rapidly replacing the tablecloth, and any one who has a good hardwood table may easily adopt this pretty custom if the scratches and stains which deface it are removed. Nor is this a difficult matter. A coat of brown shellac, a thorough rubbing once a week with a purchased polish or with raw linseed oil with a few drops of turpentine and a daily polish with an oiled bit of flannel will give a handsome table top. "Elbow grease" is the secret of a perpetual polish. Doilies are now so varied, so abundant and so pretty prettier than any cloth, no mater how beautiful as well as much easier laundered, that there is small excuse for not dispensing with the large cloth. The best centerpiece for everyday use is a hemstitched damask square. This will last fresh for a week, while more elaorate designs may be substituted for special occasions. Small doilies come in all sizes and at all prices, from the costly cobwebs of Mexican drawnwork and the exquisite honifon lace ones to the inexpensive torchon lace and linen or simple squares of hemstitched linen. For the Housewife's Desk. A series of gayly covered books, bound in scarlet leather, are found in the smart Stationen' and leather goods ehops. They make nice presents for the busy housewife, who has to observe system and order in the management of her household, as her husband does in the running of his business. These books are so prettily bound that they make a gay showing on the writing table of my lady, although there is nothing frivolous or flighty about their contents. A large flat book is the dinner record. This is an aide memoire to the hostess, who cannot be expected to remember whom she invited and who declined and accepted her invitations during the dinner giving season. The recipe book, the household expense book, the expense book and all the other handv and businesslike arrangements to facilitate the smooth running of the modern home are to be had in convenient form. Remedy For Coughs. A home remedy for a cough is the following: Take half the quantity of castor oil that can be purchased at the druggist's for 5 cents and put it over the fire to simmer. Add a cupful of granulated sugar and half a lemon from which the seeds have been removed. Allow the mixture to simmer for fifteen minutes or so, taking care not to let it become dark in the process. Strain, bottle and .take a teaspoonful when the cough becomes troublesome.
Artistic House Furnishing. The secret of success in artistic house furnishing is the harmonious blending of wall and floor covering with the woodwork rather than indiscriminate following of the latest style. For instance, red wall covering is fashionable and combines most effectively with woodwork in dusky Flemish oak, but is thoroughly unsuited to golden oak, which calls for a dull, soft blue in burlap or cartridge paper. Kitchen Maxims. A good manager looks ahead. There is no work like early work. Clear as you go. Muddle makes more muddle. Spare neither soda nor hot water in washing up greasy articles. Dirty saucepans filled with hot water begin to clean themselves. Not to wash plates and dishes oon after using makes extra work. From the AutoVriobl list's View.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Information Furnished by a Newspaper to Correspondents. Several leading journals of the nation have a department of replies to questions of a legal character. The department is supposed to be edited by a lawyer of considerable scattered intelligence, and there is no doubt that he earns his money. Naturally it follows that if one or more leading journals indulge in this sort of thing there is no reason whv the number should not be increased. For instance: Miggs. You sav vour next door CO v neighbor has built a spite fence close to your dining room windows that entirely darkens the room, and you ask what you can do. Answer. Try lighting the gas. X. Y. Z. It depends on the man who gives the note whether it is good or not if dated on Friday. Anxious Wife.

If you gave the girl the ring in good faith, it may be difficult for you to get it back again. You say she laughs at you when you ask for it. At the same time we cannot advise vou to begin a fiftv dollar lawsuit to secure a two dollar ring which you admit is plugged and is presumably plated. Mary Jane. You say the young man stole a kiss from vou and that you want legal redress. But we really cannot approve of this. If the young man seems truly repentant and is willing to return the stolen goods, you would do wisely if you concluded to call it square. Aristides.

AN ENGINEER'S NERVE
Fatally Injured as Result of Hallucination. Peru, Ind., Jan. 1G As the result of a strange hallucination J. E. Sible, an old and trnsted engineer of the Wabash railroad, is probably fatally injured. Sible was at the throttle of the bix locomotive of the limited, which was thundering along at the rate of forty miles an hour.When the lights of the town of Attica appeared the old engineer gave a start and shoutad to Burt Frick, his fireman: ''Jump for your life, Burt; the switch is turned." In an instant Sible had applied the safety brake, reversed the lever and jumped to escape the specter which his harrassed nerves had conjured up. The fireman followed, but was not iniured. The train came to a stop and Frick went back to find the engineer. The latter lay on the roadbed, horribly injured. His skull had been crushed, an arm and leg broken, his ribs fractured and his spine injured. He was carried aboard the train. Meanwhile an investigation showed that there had been no danger to the train. The signal lights of the switch showed an unobstructed path. Sible was brought to a hospital here, where he managed to gasp out his story. According to fireman Frick, Sible has been more or less nervous since he was in a wreck at Lafayette, some weeks ago. Passengers were shaken up by the sudden stopping of the train, but none of tli em was inj urea. ' IN HIGH REPUTE The Great Author and Physician Dr. fl. W. Chase is Remembered la Plumouth.

WASTING AWAY. IN ATHLETE'S SAD FATE. This- is the story of a strong man. lie had been captain of his foot ball eleven and a crack all-around athlete. He vras the picture of manly health and vigor, envied by men and admired by women. One day he "was taking a practise spin on the river when a drenching storm came up. When he returned to the boat house he sat around in his wet flannels without a thought of danger. What could hurt him? He was "as hard as rails." After a while he developes a little hacking cough which somehow won't be thrown off. In time he finds he hasn't the ambition he formerly had. Exercise .wearies him. He is losing weight. It is not very long before he finds himself weak and emaciated, stretched out in a chair knowing that he is wasting away day by day and hour by hour. It seems a long way from that chair to the gridiron and the diamond, a great change from that dripping athlete m the boat house to this weak and wasted invalid. But the way is indeed very short. It is a way which thousands tread every year and the beginning of the way which leads to such a sad ending is A TROÜBI.ESOMS COUGH. No man or woman is so strong as to be able to treat lightly an ailment which is the beginning of such a serious disease. There is a cure for coughs however stubborn, and that cure is Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. w I am feeling quite well," writes Hiss Dorcas A. Lewis, of No. 1129 24th St, Washington, D. C., "and I owe it all to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I cannot say too much in praise of the medicine. I had been quite a sufferer for a long time, and after reading Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser thought I would try his 4 Golden Medical Discovery. I commenced taking it in May, 1899. Had not been sleeping well for- a long time. Took one teaspoonful of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery an slept nearly all night without coughing, so I continued taking it. I am in great sympathy with everybody who suffers with a cough. I had been a sufferer for more than ten years. I tried lots of different medicines and different doctors, but did not feel much better. I coughed until I commenced spitting blood, but now I feel much stronger and am entirely well. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery b ths

'tin 'it-ii i - ACCIDENT 4 "Golden Medical Discovery" is not to be classed with ordinary " cough medicines." When the cough has been obstinate and deep seated, when there have been weakness, night-sweats and emaciation the use of Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discover- has been the means in hundreds of cases of a restoration to perfect health The reason for this success is that the "Discovery strengthens the stomach and purifies the blood, thus enabling the building up of the wasted tissues. All treatments of consumption recognize the need of nourishment! The use of cod liver oil is only an attempt to impart nourishment and so strength to the wasting body. The oil is a food but it is an emergency food. In its very form it recognizes the weakness of the stomach. " Golden Medical Discovery " strengthens the stomach body begins to put on comes back again. FOUNDED ON FACTS. The claims made for " Golden Medical Discovery" are not imaginative or thcoreticaL Every claim cf cure is founded on a solid fact, a written record, of the cure of deepseated coughs, weak lungs, hemorrhages, emaciation and other forms of disease which if neglected or uni skilfully treated find a fatal termination in consumption. "I had a cough and night-sweats, also spitting of blood; no life," writes Mrs. M. A. Cary, of (Indian Hd.), Blackwood, Assiniboia Dist., N. W. Ty. "I could not hold any weight; my shoulders would give way; had pricking pains i i i 4, -i i w me 1 ucbt, aibu uimi J catarrh and constipation. ' . I betran usiricr Dr. Pirre'n Golden Medical Discovery and for the first two or three days I seemed worse, and then all my nerves felt numb, as if they were being roused up. Used about ten bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery, nine of 'Favorite Prescription,' and four vials of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, and six bottles of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Now I have none cf the old symptoms. I am, so far, as well as ever before. I shall recommend Dr. Pierce's medicines to my friends.'' Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is confidently recommended for pulmonary diseases and diseases of the organs of respiration generally. It always helps. It almost always cures, It is not a tonic merely, but a fiesh-forming, bodybuilding medicine, containing no alcohol, and being absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. FREE TO THE SICK. Persons suffering from disease in chronic forms are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All correspondence held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Sometimes a dealer tempted by the little more profit paid by less meritorious medicines will oiler a substitute for w Golden Medical Discovery, claiming it is "just as good.ff Do not allow yourself to be imposed upon.
