They knew absolutely nothing of corruption and degeneracy with which the whites have in fected the Athabascan Indians and Eskimos. Dr. Gordon lived for several months among them. "Though they arc dying out," Dr. Gordon said, "they are strong and clean physically and intelliphysically and intelligent. They have retained the . A I most ancient characteristics of dress and speech. In clothing. instead of wearing furs, they sew skins of birds into robes, using the breasts of loon and various species of ducks whiclabound in the river."

"It is hoped for their sake that they die out betcre the white traders get to them, then they can die as rleanly as happily as they live. Dr. Gordon and his helpers traveled down the Koskokwim 1.500 miles in a smail sloop. .

Beveridge Urges a Lobby.

Senator Beveridge presided at a meeting' held at Indianapolis Monday night in the interest of the "people's lobby." He urged j the organiaztion of a lobby at Washington, the duty of which shall be to inform the people on what their representatives are doing in congress, not only how thev vote on important measures, but what they do to help or hinder the progress of bills. He asserted that good' government depends upon the quality of public men and the information which the people obtain, conerning the actions of public servants. James B.

Spies Arrest Stirs France.

I be arrest of Ensign Charles B. Ullnio of the French navv at Toulon Thursday, on the charge of being a spy, and who later confessed to having abstracted a secret naval signal book and the naval cipher code, was followed by the arrest at Vendome of an officer named Berton. who is charged with negotiations with an agent of a foreign power for the sale of military secrets. The arrests are creating a great stir, and, as Ullmo is a Jew, the papers term his case a second Dreyfus affair. It appears that Ullmo offered certain documents to the minister of marine for. $.30,000, saying that unless his offer was accepted he would sell them to a foreign power. Correspondence was be gun, ending with Ullmo s cap ture. search of his lodgings reveal ed that he not only possessed the secret code signals but was in posscssion of compiete plans hc mobi,;azt;on of thi Frc for rench navv, tne location or naroor mines in the event of war, and photographs of the mechanism of France s famous seventy-five millimeter held gun The cases of Ullmo and Berton m. hv -uo.o ji w 1 1 1 i i w unit uvi ad(led importance to the bbate ...i u JT i : u i i r (Icnuties pridav aft( jnterpeHations rei r i state of the nation: wiuiii cpcncu in iiic luuinuei ui ernoon on the regarding the o ui i . ui uit iiaiivjiiui uiiEiiscs ill i ,ir.,oo : kuiiuvv-iiuii mm mi. viiuicvo niaviv. til flu KrwiLr rTitirlol " A r A V. ,Vfc , 1; u, i L fended: lnis was published re , b Ch , Humbert, an ex-armv captain and staff officer Uh magazine article on tne same r.ubjcct, of which Gen.

Towns in Sicily Wrecked by

Quake. The provinces of Calabria, in south Italy, and the eastern coast of the Island of Sicilv, have been shaken by a violent earthquake. Many towns are in ruins, and loss of life is reported. Com munication is interrupted, and it is impossible to learn the number of dead. After a night of terror in the streets amid the ruins of their homes, the population rushed to the open country. Torrential rains followed the quake. Foodless, sheltering, half-clad and beaten by raging storms, the refugees can not escape dreadful hardships. The government is rushing aid to the stricken section. The property loss is said to have been enormous. The shocks which continued ten seconds occurred during the night. Mount Etna, which is situated about midway between Messina and Catani, near the eastern Sicilian coast, has been exceptionally active recently and the seismic disturbance is believed to be a culmination of a series of violent eruptions. The worst damage reported was at Prancalone on the eastern coast of lower Italy. The, town was wholly destroyed. Nine persons are known to have been buried under collapsed builclings. Countless miraculous escapes are reported. The same town was partly destroyed by an earthquake in 1783. ' At Sinipoli, also in the province o Calabria, a number of persons are said to have been crush ed under walls. The town is a small one seventeen miles north of Reggio. The two walls cf the cathedral fell at Gerace, a third Calabrian town, the seat of one of the most important bishoprics in southern Italy. The population is about 10.000 and much distress prevails. Another town in Italy on which heavy damage was inflicted is Catanzaro, with a population of about 30.000. Many of its principal buildings were destroyed bv the earthquake of 1783. New Stamped Envelope Ruling Helps Buyers. Postmaster General Meyer issued an order Friday respecting the purchase by business men of stamped envelopes that will mean much to business communities and to large users of the government envelopes. It provides that when an or der is placed with a postmaster for any number of stamped en velopes only the cost of the en velopes and printing thereon shall be deposited .with the order instead of the entire cost of the envelopes, printing .and stamping, as at present. The Govern: ment often takes five or six weeks in making a delivery of stamped envelopes. About 4,000,000 en velopes are turned out every day by the Government and the de mand is for less, leaving immense sums of money tied up. Under the order of the post master general the stamps value of the envelopes will remain in the hands of the purchaser and be available for such uses as he may care to make of it while the order it being filled. When the post master delivers the envelopes ordered he will turn into the treas ury immediately the money received thus making it available for government purposes. Favors Keeping Roosevelt In. "Don't swap horses in the mid dle of the stream. Theodore Roosevelt is essential in the vyar for self-government now on ' in America and ought to be kept in command till our cause tri umphs." Thus spoke ex-Gov. S. R. Van Sant of Minnesota at the opening of the state convention of the Y. M. C. A. at Rock Island, 111., Thursday evening. y V a Washington, he said, was necessary in the war against the hnghsh which gave us liberty; Lincoln was necessary in the war against our brothers, which made all men free, and Roosevelt is necessary in the war against ourselves, the outcome of which will determine whether political liberty shall survive. Wall street is no longer the business barometer pf the country. It is the American farmer. The convention . opened with 400 delegates present. Regular business was taken up Friday and the meeting continues oyer Sunday, Lusitania Lowers All East Bound Ship Records. The Cunard line steamer Lusitania arrived at Qucenstowh at 0:30 Thursday evening. It has broken the best previous eastern record. The Lusitania cleared Sandy Hook lightship at 5:44 p. m. Saturday last. The time of passage has been 4 days 22 hours and 4f minutes. The best previous record from Xew York to Queenstown was r days 4 hours and 10 minutes This the Lusitania made on its last run from New York. The Lusitania experienced rough weather and was obliged to ' slow down its engines. Its average speed for the entire distance was 23.01 knots. An official statement issued bv the Cunard company points out that, traveling against the sun, these figures mean exceptionally' fine steaming. On a westward trip this would mean a daily average of nearly G20 knots.

Could Have Gone Farther. The America made its rise from the aeronautical field at St. Louis at 4 :'o0 p. m. Monday and landed at Patuxent postofiice near Portland, Md., at exactly :Öü a. m. Wednesday, being in the air 33 hours and 25 minutes. The actual distance accomplished was approximately 725 miles, which lacked about 1G2 miles of being as far as the German balloon, Pommern, traveled. I think we might have gone farther, at least we could have reached the edge of Chesapeake bay, but as Mr. McCoy, my companion, feared we did not have enough ballast to let out in order to insure our flight across the bay, we did not care to risk the attempt of alighting to close to it. Also, the risk in crossing was rather too great for the additional possible distance for the reason that the strip of land between the bay and the sea is narrow. Since the German balloon reached Ashbury Park it is no doubt well enough that we came down when we did for unless we should have encountered a change of current to carry us to the north we could not have .equalled the Pommeron's distance, even if we went to the ocean's edge. The nervous strain, keeping watch and studying conditions, is hard on one during a flight of this kind, and one doesn't have opportunity of enjoying his cigar wild a variety of good, wholesome food. The most uncomfortable feature of the journey was

the chilly night, it being so cold most of the time Tuesday night that neither of us could sleep when his turn came. The great est height attained was about a jnile und a half which we reached just before we alighted. One thing that, has suggested itself as a result of our cruise is the need of a reliable topographical map, for the use of aeronauts in army work. Much oi the time we had no means of knowing where we were. Although we had studied the best available topographical maps showing mountains, rivers, etc., it had been impossible to obtain a map showing all the streams, and smaller cities, towns and villages. An interesting incident of the cruise was when we were passing over the eastern part of In diana. Two other balloons were in sight for several hours, and as one would rise or drop and gain or lose on the other it took on the thrilling features, of a real race. At times we must have nade as high as 30 miles an hour. Considering the varied course we took, I believe the America must have traversed 1,000 miles all. told. Troops to Curb Ute Indians. Troops have been ordered at once to the Cheyenne river reser vation, where it is reported the Ute Indians have become rest less again after their voluntary transportations from their Utah lands last year. After dispatches were received from Washington by Maj. Noyes in command of the department of the Missouri, ordering troops to be sent, reports , were received Wednesday night saying that the inreatened outbreak was controlled before dark by the Indian police of the reservation. The Utes Thursday showed signs of starting serious trouble and the situation became so threatening that the officers in charge called for troops. ' Following the instructions from Washington orders have been sent to Fort Des Moines that four troops composing squadron of the Second Cavalry proceed with all haste to the Cheyenne agency, where Indian a x r i . t . vgeni uowns is located, it is expected the soldiers will reach the end of the railroad this week and will be at the scene of the uprising within twenty-four hours after starting. Orders were sent to the troops at Forts Meac Des : Moines, and Robinson on Thursday afternoon to be in readiness for instant departure upon receipt of advices from Ft Meade that Agent Downs hat telegraphed for troops. Fort Meade is the nearest mili ary post to the reservation, 100 miles distant, but only one troop is located there, of the Sixth cavalry. Seven are at Fort Robin son, belonging to the Eighth reg iment," 200 miles away, but the distance by rail is least from Des Moines. Editor Rucker Fined. As a result of an article which appeared in the Elkhart Truth Tuesday of last week, Edmun P. Rucker, city editor, was Wed nesday fined $100 for contempt of court. The hearing was hcl before Judge Dodge. The defendant was represent ed by Perry L. Turner, who con tended that his client was not guilty, inasmuch as he had re ceived information on which the article was based from reliable sources and had intended no con tempt. Judge Dodge held that the ar ticle, whether true or false, was in contempt of court, declaring that it was calculated to embar rass and hamper the court. Immediately after the fine was imposed counsel for defendan moved tor a new tnau i he mo tion was then overruled. The case will be appealed to the su preme court. The Tribune $1.50 per year.

Indiana Owns Part of a Small Island. . D. H. Oliver, clerk in the land department of the State Auditors office, believes that the State of Indiana owns a part of an island in Lake Wawasee, in Kosciusko county. The island at present is a summer resort. So far as Mr. Oliver can ascertain from the re cords, a small corner of the island, containing perhaps a half acre, is owned by the State! al though there are a-number of cottagers who have bought and paid for it. and now have their cottages there. It was at the request of these cottagers that Mr. Olive traced the records. It seems that the part of the island in question has never been transferred since the original plat was made. Formerly what is now an island was a peninsula extend ing into what was then known as Turkey lak and what is now Lake Wawasee. A wide ditch was cut across this peninsula and this has been washed out by the water and the island is now seperated" from the mainland by a wide stream. A small part ot this island lies in Section 23. Most of jt is in the southeast quarter of Section 23, while a very small part is in the north east quarter. It seems that the part in the northeast quarter has . always changed hands when the island has changed hands, but the deeds, according to the description, given, have never shown this transfer. So far as can be' ascertained by Mr. Olive, this small part of the island has never been transferred and virtually belongs to the State, though he has not yet closed his investigation.

Found Guilty of Helping Suicide. For the first time in this country a man was convicted before Judge Foster at Xew York, Monday, for aiding and abetting his wife to commit suicide. The specific charge was that he was guilty of. manslaughter in the first degree, the heaviest penalty! for which is imprisonment for twenty years. He is James Waddell, 20 years old, whose . wife was found ' dead in her " own rooms some months ago, her companion being her husband, from whom she had separated. There was a bullet -wound in her head, but the physicians said her death had Jcen caused by gas and that the shot had been fired after her death.. Waddell, sobbing, said his wife had been afraid that should she try to commit suicide by gas she might be buried alive, and had made his promise should he ever find Jicr unconscious he would shoot her. She killed. herself by gas without his knowledge, he declared, and in pursuance of hh promise he shot her. He was remanded for sentence. Negroes Seek to Lynch White Man for Assault. J. McAllister, white, aged 72, was attacked by a mob of 100 negroes at Columbus, O., Friday night when he had been pointed out by Mrs. Henry Pace, a negress. as the man who had attempted to assault her 13-year-old daughter. McAllister was passing the Pace home and was taken unawares. Th mob had knocked him down and was kicking him when Pace ran out and fought with the negroes for the man's life. McAllister was hit on the head with a stone and rendered unconscious for a time. He was finally rescued by the police and taken to the City prison. McAllister denies that he attempted to assault the girl. Resolutions. Whereas, It has pleased the Supreme Ruler of the universe in His infinite wisdom to reclaim the spirit of our beloved Brother O.

5 IND. Prove Cruise Only Test. The continued presence in Washington of Rear Admiral Evans, who is to command the Atlantic' battleship ' fleet on its Pacific voyage, the daily appearance of orders niaking changes in the personnel of the fleet, and the conferences going on between the president and Secretary .Metcalf have" caused renewed interest in the cruise., ' The recent remarks of the president, replying to the criticisms from some quarters that he was exceeding the appropriations available for coal in getting the fleet 'to the Pacific, are taken by naval men to mean that he never cherished any idea of maintaining the fleet permanently in the Paci::. Jt was learned definitely that the order to return will go forward to the admiral to command before the ships have been ninety days on the Pacific coast of North America. Rear Admiral Evans, who will take tne fleet out, goes up;n tl -M Ti-(' list next 'August, before the coming cruise will be completed. Naval officers cannot recall when a rear admiral has been continued in command after tin? date sec for his retirement, though it is entirely probable that an exception may be made in Evans' case, and he may command the fleet on its return voyage. The one important conclusion to be drawn from the early return of the fleet is that the executive feels no apprehension as to the possibilities of a war with Japan. The short stop at the turning pomt will amply demonstrate the truth of the statement that the purpose of the cruise is only to test the capabilities of a modern battleship fleet. . It was pointed out in an authorative quarter that an erroneous impression has obtained as to the enormous activity of the Japanese in the matter of war preparations. As a matter of fact, 'Japan is not in the market as a large purchaser of war materials, but appears to be struggling to recuperate from the exhausting . effects of her recent war. Mother and Son Guilty of Killing John Jones. The double murder trial of Lizzie Jones and her son, Henry tan field, charged with the murder of John Jones, husband and step-father, respectively, of the defendants, came to an end in Marion Criminal Court Thursday morning when the jury was instructed by the court to bring in a verdict of guilty in first degree murder for the woman and guilty in manslaughter for the young man. This was the result of a compromise agreement between the prosecutor and the attorneys for the defense, by which it was decided that the woman should receive a life sentence and the young man an indeterminate sentence of from two to fourteen years. John Jones was shot to death on the night of August 11, as he lay asleep. All the persons connected with die case are colored.
