It has long been known that t.V) Indian squaw readily falls in Wo with f';e first white man she meelj v;ln is viiling to pay her any attention, r.nd it does not matter very much whether he is handsome and stylish, or ugly; whether ho is old or young, rich or poor. This makes easy sailing for the grafters of the territory, who have been making profitable use of the Indian maiden, by contracting with her to furnish a white husband for a cash considera tion. Honey has no value to the red skins, and it is said that in some cases they have been known to pay as much as $100 in cash for a husband. The brokers have no trouble in finding the husband, as the girls are to come into possession of some very valuable land. When the Choctaw allotment is made every maiden in that nation will come into possession of 820 acres of land and about $2500 in cash as one share of the tribal funds on deposit in the United States treasury. Some of these girls are very pret ty, yet tliy could be easily picked as Indians. Many of them have received good educations at the Indian schools, and most of them are willing to mar ry as soon as they get their allotment and the cash in hand. In many cases the brokers pull strings at both ends They accept a contract from the girl to furnish her a husband at from $25 to $1U0, and then they advertise in some of the Eastern papers for the husband. They make him a proposi tion to furnish him with a pretty In nian girl for from $100 to $250. When the Eastern lad with a desire for the West learns that he is to get a bride with a fortune, and that he will have nothing to do for a year at least but spend her money, he be comes an easy customer for the mar riage broker.

I Drain Gardiner S COOS BRY STHGE ROUTE j We copv the following from the Coos Bay News, ot Marshfield: Application havinc been made for the admission of negro children to the Marshfield public school, the board of directors held a special meeting Thurs day evening, and the following resolu tion, introduced by J. W. Bennett, was adopted: Whereas, Mrs. T. E. Dow has ap plied to Professor Golden, principal of the Public school of this district, to admit two necro children of Mrs. Trollinger to the public school; and Whereas, It is the sense of the Board, and the Board is of the opinion that on account of the physical con dition of said negro children, their presence in the white classes will materially retard the progress of the three hundred and thirty white chil dren now in attendance, in their school studies; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the principal of the school be, and he is hereby au thorized to provide, by renting, a sep arate room where said negro children be taught, and that a suitable teacher for their instruction be employed by him, and for him to do all things in the spirit of this resolution to see that equal school privileges are pro vided for said negro children as are now enjoyed by the white children of this district.

For further information address J. R. Sawyers, Proprietor, Drain, Oregon No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be surprised at the great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds and grip effectually and permanently, but prevents these diseases from resulting in pneumonia, it is ai.'o a ceriam euro for croup. Whooping couch is not dangerous when this remedy is given It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confi dently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take.

Nkw York, Oct. n. Tho Russian fleet left Port Arthur with sealed orders, according to a Herald dispatch from Chefoo. Its destination is supposed to be Corea. New York, Oct. n. Information from two sources, sa's a Times dispatch from Vienna, is to the effect that Russia is making extraordin ary preparations for the contingency of war wilh Japan. A well-iuformcd personage who was late ly at St. Petersburg says the Russian military authorities expect tht outbreakof hostilities with in the next few weeks. The whole trans-Caspiau territory as far as Samarkland is seriously crippled as regards railwa' traffic by the large drafts of men and material for the Far East. The Russian troops in trans-Caspia are alleged to be embittered in con sequence of ths manner in which their province is neglected in favor of Manchuria and the Pacific Coast. Extra Session of Congress. The call for the extra session will possibly bo issued some time within the next few days. Although no formal announcement has been mad e there is no change in the intention made known some time ago to call Congress together on the 9th of next month. Several senators and repre sentatives have from time to time represented to the President that in their opinion an extra session was unneccessary, but Mr. Roosevelt has insisted that this government is rest ing under tho obligation of a virtual j pledge to the .republic of Cuba to ratify the reciprocity treaty before tho time of the regular session in December. In this conviction the President is supported by Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, chairman of the Senate committee on relations with Cuba, and by many other lead ing members of the Senate, as well as of the House. It is believed by many of the Re publican leaders that the Democrats will seize the opportunity offered by the consideration of the Cuban reci procity treaty to debate the tariff question in all its phases from a par tisan strndpoint. The Republicans are willing that this program should be carried out as long as the ratifica tion of the treaty is not postponed beyond the limits of the extra ses sions, for there will then be good ground for resisting any effort on the part of the Democratic spell binders to waste the time of the regu lar session in a fruitless tariff question. Compulsory Educational Law. London, Oct. 1 1. The Times corrcspontcnt at Tokio says that in reply to Corea's proposal t.o open the port of Wiju, instead of Yougampho. M. Pavloff, Russian Minister at Seoul, objected on the ground that there were no trade prospects at Wiju, and that the unsettled state of Manchuria rendered the opening of Wiju dangerous. The Vienna correspondent of the Times has received iufornatiou from two sources confirming the reports that Russia is making extensive pre parations, in view of the contingency of war wilh Japau. Berlin, Oct. n. The Cologne Gazette to day published a dispatch from St. Petersburg as follows: "Russia is not disinclined to accept the modus vivendi in the Corcau question, but if Manchuria is brought into the controvers' by Ja 1 an, Russia would rather that the dispute come to war than yield her claims. A sign that Russia is is prepared for the worst is that the officers' fami lies, who are preparing to go to Port Arthur, have been requested to defer goiug there before 1904, the ostensible reason being that the buildings for their accomodation are not yet completed. Japan has bi ought together masses of troops for purposes other than mere maneuvers. Indorse Roosevelt. Notice.

President Roosevelt and his admin istration were unqualifiedly indorsed by the executive committee of the national league of Republican clubs at a meeting at the Auditorium, Chi cago, last week, and Indianapolis was selected as the place for the holding of the coming national convention of the league. The date for the conven tion is to be announced later. More than forty states were represented at the meeting and the first act of the assemblage was to send greetings to President Roosevelt. The committee on resolutions brought in tho following, which was unanimously adopted: The Republican party has won suc cess in the past because it has repre sented in its policies the principles upon which Republican institutions are founded. It will be successful in the future because it i3 guided in its action by those ideals which tend toward good citizenship, safe conser vatism in legislation and a wholesome regard for tho rights and privileges of all the people without distinction under tho constitution. Tho executivo committee of tho National league representing in its membership tho ardor of young Re publicanism, imbued with Republican ideas, enunciated by Lincoln, Hayes, Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt, at its annual Theodore Roosevelt, approves of his policies, sympathizes in his aims and endeavors, and congratulates tho country that such a man is its Presi dent. Plans were made for party rallies in every state in the Union during the coming campaign, to be held un der the personal direction of the offi cers and members of tho executive committee. Ft.
