tr Annual Report. Indian Commission-

tion that the 240 Apache prisoners of
war at Fort Sill be released an! that
the tribal funds, consisting of $49.-
000,000 be distributed to meiuuers of
the entire tribe has been mad3 to the
secretary of the interior by the board
of Indian commissioners in their an-,
nual report.
The recommendation in the report j
that the Indians who desired to stay
be allotted lands in the Fort Sill res-,
ervation. where they have been for
years, is sure to cause a big tight for
this action is bitterly opposed by the,
residents of Comanche county. ;>nd all
those people in Oklahoma who are in
terested in the enlargement of Fort
Sill. Representative Scott Ferns, has
taken up the matter with both the .n-
ter.or and war departments and he is
seking to stave off final action which)
will keep the Indians at the fort aud
hopes finally to have the Indians re-
moved to Mescalero reservation,
which action has been urged by Col.
H. A. Scott, in his report to the war
department on the future of the In-
dians following his investigation Mr
Ferris does not oppose the release of
the prisoners of war. however.
It is feared by the friends of Fort
Sill that should the government offer
the Indians allotments on the reser-
vation. if they so desire them, a great i
proportion of the reds will stay at Fort
Sill rather than return to their broth-'
ers at Mescaleto. In this case Okla-'
homans declare, the development of
the fort will be interfered with as
Vncle Sam will hesitate about spend-
ing any more money there
In its recommendations concerning
the division of tribal funds, the board
says:
"The board believes that every In-
dian entitled to share in these funds
should be recogntred by name upon
the books of the treasury and have
his share either credited to him by
name In case he is an incompetent to
manage It or paid to him if he is com-
petent and legally entitled to re-
ceive it."
This recommendation if adopted will
mark the inauguration of a r.<y» policy
on the part of the government.

kidnaped a baby—photographs of it

She—What did she take It for?
He—Nothing else to take. 1 sup-

that anybody who kidnaped a baby
would steal an earthquake or borrow
an attack of Asiatic cholera.
She—Babies are not so bad as all
that. The only thing 1 hive really

An old negro preacher, says tae At-

After the benediction an old broth-

A Golf Story.
There’* another story of a man who
rang the bell at the gates of Paradis*
and asked Peter if he might go
through.
“What were you'on earth?” asked
the saint
“Well," was the response, “during
the latter part of my life I didn’t do
much but play golf.”
"Got a golf ball on you?”
“Yes: here’s a ’Chancellor.'”
St. Peter took It and threw It over
his shoulder, where It willed away.
For minute or more he looked
critically at the applicant, then shut
the gate in his face and locked it.
“What’s the game?” said the man.
“You are no real golfer,” said St.
Peter. “You don’t even know the
first rule of golf—to keep your eye on
the ball and follow through.”
Dissatisfaction.
“So you were given an interest in
your employer’s business?”
“Yes,” replied the industrious youth;
"but I made a mistake in accepting it.
I had less worry as a regular employee
than as a minority stockholder.”
Before the’Scrap.
“Why are you rushing around so to-
day?” “I’m trying to get something
i for my wife.” “Had any offers?”—

Senator’s Plan Broke Fast
Huge. Okta.—The fasting of Will
Wilburn, in the county jail for the al-
leged killing of John Young, and who
has been trying to starve himself to
death, was brought to au end through
the inventive genius of State Senator
W. p. Stewart. The senator sug-
gested that the sight of another man
eating a good dinner would tempt any
starving man to eat. He ordered a
spread set for himself in view of the
fasting prisoner, and with unction fell
upon the hot biscuits and juicy steak.
Wilburn experienced a desperate
struggle between mind and matter,
and his agony was apparent. Finally
he lo*t the power of resistance and
fell to ravenously.
Cutting Down at Guthrie
Guthrie. Okla.—County commission
ers Friday resolved to reduce the as
sistant county attorney’s salary to $75;
assistant clerk of district court to
$'0, and to dismiss one clerk from
the register’s office, while March 1
two clerks are to be dismissed from
th# county treasurer's office. This
economy is necessary to lower taxes
and keep the county out of bank
ruptcy.

A Hold-Up
An Oppressive Trust.
Before th# Coffee Roaster*’ Association, in sea-
■Joe nt Chicago on Thundny. Thomas J. Webb,
of Chicago, charged that there is in existence n
coffee combine which is “the inoet monstrous im-
poeition in the history of human commerce. ”
There is very slight exaggeration about this
Statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There is a coffee combine in Brazil, from
firhkh country cornea the bulk of the coffee used
in the United States, which is backed by the gov*
eminent of Brazil and financed by it, which com-,
pels American consumers, on Mr. Webb said, “to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists.”
The worst thing shout this is that the eonsum*
era of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
wen denounced os on imposition upon the people;
os taxing the poor man’s breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee up to the full amount of th«j former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for*
tneriy went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of BraziL The poor
man’s breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
some old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
“valoruation” plan was evolved in BraziL
Through this plan the government, using the rev*
enaes derived from the export duties for the pur*
pose*, take* all of the surplus crop in a season of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee tksn does the rest of the world. We are the
best customers of BraziL end Brazil buys little
from us. Now Brasil is promoting, financing and
rrv»in»:»iffmg a trust designed, and working effect-
ively for the purpose, to compel American con-
earners to psy an exorbitant price for the coffee
they use. What is the remedy?—S*MttU /W-/o>

Standard statistics of the coffee trade
show a falling off in soles during the lost
two Years of over two hundred minion
pounds. Authenticated reports from the
Pouturn factories in this city show a
tremendous increase in the sale of Postern
in a like period of time.
While the sales of Postum invariably
•how marked increase vesr over vear, the
extraordinary demand for that well-
known breakfast beverage during 1911 is
very likely due to a public awakening to
the oppression of the coffee trust.
Such an awakening nsturallv disposes
the multitude who suffer from the ill
effects of coffee drinking to be more re-
ceptive to knowledge of harm which so
often comes as a result of the use of
the drug-beverage, coffee— Battft Crttk

for using Postum.
It is absolutely free from any harmful substance,

much of the nervousness, biliousness and indiges-
tion of today are due. Thousands of former coffee
