CHELSEA, - INDIAN TERRITORY.
CURRENT COMMENT.
No member of' congress Is so suc-
cessful In keeping bis views out of Hie
papers us Senator Allison, of Iowa.
Pullman sleeping curs are now num-
bered instead of named. The breakfast
foods have copyrighted all of the pretty
names.
Harry Lehr, the lion of New York's
400, now curries a bead purse chained
to his waist like a lady. We publish
this so thut every man living may feol
that he is at least superior to some-
body.
18 THE END NEAR?
Europe Must Put a Stop to Atroci-
ties in the Balkans.
When Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
was recently asked lo define the Mon-
roe doctrine ho said; "As l«ig as our
fecretary of state Is named Hay our
foreign policy will be 'Keep off the
grass." "
Alterations in New York's city hall
have disclosed a secret staircase used
by the boodle aldernmn of 1881. Nowa-
days such enterprising officials are
able to go in and out by the main en-
trance.
Emperor William has $:i,000,000 ia
American stocks. This is more impor-
tant for peace between this country
and Germany than Prince Henry's re-
cent visit. The mighty dollar is the
great olive branch.
Official reports from Turkey have
the honor to assure the United States
that owing to the inexcusably bad
marksmanship of the man who handled
the gun, the reports of the assassina-
tion of Vice Consul Magelssen arc ab-
solutely false.
The purchaser of the Philadelphia
Ledger is also the owner of the New
York Times, the Philadelphia Times
and the Chattanooga Times. Twenty
years ago he was a poor printer in Ten-
nessee. He seems to have talent for
the art preservative.
The sultan of Turkey has issued an
order forbidding his subjects to clothe
their children's h&ads with strange,
fantastic hats imitating European
fashions. The children are to wear the
simple Turkish bonnet with no ex-
aggerated ornaments.
_ Trade between this country and the
•Philippines reaches a total ot' $5,000,000
a month, and is steadily increasing.
More than half the hemp produced by
the islands comes to this country.
Aside from this item, the United
States sells more to the Philippines
than it purchases front thpm.
Information from the fnill*
cats That Violent Method of Termi-
■mtlnir Hie Nlaugliter Will He Hu-
•ort "<l to at un Earl* Date.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. U.—The Al-
banian and Turkish troops collected lu
the vilayet of Adrlanople appear to bo
pursuing their usual tactics of burnlug
and plundering the villages and killing
the peasants instead of making an at-
tempt to break up the insurgent bands.
Very little news is filtering through
from Mon.istlr, but all rep(irts agree
that the position of the Christians la
desperate. The Turks are making a
clean sweep of the whole Bulgarian
element. The Albanian soldiers in the
vilayet of Adrlanople are stated to be
entirely beyond control. At Kosttirsco
the influential beys complained to tho
officers of tho excesses committed by
the troops. The officers resented tho
criticism and told the soldiers that tho
beys were friends of the revolution-
aries, whereupon the soldiers burned
the beys' farms. The Turks have burned
the villages of Almagik and Orlkler,
in the district of Losengrad. They
beheaded 2'J Bulgarians at Almagik in
the presence of their families.
A Solution Cannot I-ong He Iielnyed.
London, Sept. 14.—Rumor from
Vienna and elsewhere Is very busy
this morning regarding the Balkan
crisis and, while it is impossible to
confirm the more sensational state-
ments, there is accumulation of evi-
dence that some violent solution can-
not long be delayed.
The Sofia correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph sends under Sunday's date
mother long dispatch warmly defend-
ing Bulgaria's patient and quixotic at-
titude of loyalty toward the porte and
the powers and denouncing Europe's
indifference to the wiping out of a
large Christian community.
Say* (tO.OOO I'mom Haw Been Killed.
Sofia, Sept. 1U.—The council of min-
isters is said to have decided to mo-
bilize the first and second army di-
visions, whose headquarters are at
Sofia and Philippopolis. Alarming
rumors are current of further whole-
sale massacres of Bulgarians in the
vilayet of Monastir. One report says
that GO,000 persons have been slaugh-
tered in the district of Leren alone,
which is purely Bulgarian.

the race problem, of which the follow-
ing is a part:
"In the noxt congress United States
Senator P. W. Carmack, of Tennessee
will Introduce a bill In the senate for
tho repeal of the fifteenth amendment
to the federal constitution, the Intent
of which Is that there shall be no dis-
crimination against a citizen of the
United States because of race, color or
previous condition of servitude. In
a word. Senator Carmack would con-
tribute toward n permanent solution
of the vexing question as it is pre
sented to the southern states, Hy elimi-
nating the enfranchised negroes as a
political factor. This effort of the sen
a!tor will bo supported by every south
crn representative In congress and not
a few members In other sections of the
union."
The senator favors the deportation
of negroes.
MAKING MARRIAGES EASY.
Probate JadfM In a Number of Katun*
Conntlee Signing and Fixing Their Head
to lllanU I.lcennea.
Topeka, Kan., Sept. 13.—Complaint
has reached the attorney general's of-
fice to the effect that probate judges
in a number .of the Kansas counties
have been in the habit of signing and
affixing their seals to blank marriage
licenses and giving them to ministers
and notaries, who filled them out and
performed ceremonies. Inquiries have
been, directed to the attorney general
to ascertain If this procedure is legal.
Assistant Attorney General Close ha3
answered these Inquiries. He says
that notaries public have no authority
to perform marriages, but says that
under a decision of the supreme court
such marriages are binding.

A negro preacher was ashed by one
of his flock how hot it was in hell.
"Well, folks." he replied, "jes take all
de wood in New Ynrk state an' all de
coal in Pennsylvany an' all de oil In
de woiT an' set hit afiah. Den take
er man out'n hell an' put 'im in dat
burnin' mess an' he'll freeze toe deaf
befo' he kin hahdly light. Dat's how-
hot hell am."
Bert Nortoni, who i3 mentioned for
nomination for governor by the repub-
licans oi' Missouri, explains that his
name originally was Norton, but was
changed to Nortoni by his father, who
aspired to become a famous painter
nnd was dubious about his obviously
American cognomen. This recalls that
Lillian Nordica's real name is Norton,
also, and was changed to Nordica on
the advice of her Italian teacher.
A few days ago Senator Clark, the
Montana multi-millionaire, went into a
Butte barber shop for a haircut and a
shave. When he asked the price at the
end of the service, the barber replied-
"Your son, Charley, usually gives me
$5." The senator quietly asked the
regular fee, and, when told it was GO
cents, handed out a haif dollar and
went his way, with the remark to the
barber: "My son Charley has a rich
father and 1 have not!"
"I'll take two pducds of snake,
plense." That, accordihg to Pearson's
Weekly, is what one may hear at cer-
tain shops in Klamath Falls, a town in
Oregon, where there is quite an ox-
tensive industry in snakes. Children
gather their aprons full of .snakes as
they would of wild flowers.'The specie:)
of water snake so plentiful at Klamath
Falls is of dark color, and when full
grown about three feet long. They are
used for medicinal purposes, as a su-
perior quality of oil ?an be manufac-
tured from this variety.
Experts who have made an examina-
tion declare that either the prospec-
tuses and statements published by the
steel trust are outrageous falsehoods,
or else the prices at which its stock
and securities have been selling are
preposterously disproportionate to the
intrinsic value. The meaning of this
assertion is that the promoters have
not only made a profit out of an orig-
inal overcapitalization, but in order to
make further gain they are striving to
fcare the public to dispose of its hold-
ings at an unjust discount and a great
loss.

Large Number of Town* In the
Lust Year.
Topeka, Kan., Sept. 14.—The official
railroad map of Kansas for 10l>3, which
was issued Saturday by the board of
railway commissioners, shows that the
state has lost a large number of towns
in the last year. The loss of these
towns is the result of the spread of thrj
rural free mail delivery system, which
has wiped out the little post offices.
Then a number uf the boom towns have
gradually shrunken in size until the
railway commission refuses to take
cognizance of them longer. Nearly
every county in the state has lo3t or
gained towns in the year. The name
of one riyer in the state has been
changed. It is that of the Grasshop-
per, which is chanaed to Delaware.
Satisfactory Increase in CuHtom* Collec-
tions In Philippines in Earli Successive
Year of American Occupancy,
Washington, Sept. 1,1—The bureau
of insular affairs of the war department
has prepared for publication a compar-
ative statement showing the customs
revenues in the Philippines archipela-
go for the first five months of 1903, as
compared with the same period in pre-
vious years. For the Sve months ended
May 31, 1903, the customs revenues
were $3,759,833. For the same period
in 1902, they were ?:?,53&,8G0. A steady
increase in the customs collections is
noted, and each successive year of
American occupation has brought forth
a corresponding growth of these rev-
enues. i

A Day's Victory,
C rnssroaiN,Term.,Sept. 14. Orbr.t Young,
the ten-year-qld --on ot Lester Young, ol tlni
place, is a bright boy, and one w.iu i, vet*
well liked by ail who know him.
For some years Orbra lias suffered u great*
deal with <i form of Kidney Ti'iutole which-A
was very annoying, and wjiich made him mis- «.
•table all the time. He had toget up three '
or lour times every liiglit, ajiuyjt all hit •
life. ,
Hi* father heard of a remedy called Dodd'* -
Kidney Fills, and bought some fir the lit-
tle fellow with the result that hejs now com-
pletely cured of the old trouble, lie nays:
"Dodd's Kidney l'ills soon gave nye great*
relief, and now I can sleep'all night without
having to get un. We will always praise
Dodd * Kidney Pills."
There ate many children suffering from .
Kidney and Urinary troubles. These dis-
orders should be promptly corrected. Dodd'*
Kidney Bills is a safe und sure .remedy fot
all such derangement*.
Master Orbra Young conquered !.is trou-
bles and made a well boy of nim-clf by using ;
Dodd's Kidney Pills, nnd-auy one may du >
the same bv the tame means.
Parents should see to it that their children
are given a fair chanre in life, and there if
nothing that can undermine the health ol
a growing child as much as Kidoey and L'rv
naiy derangements.
