During the past month $2,000,000 has
been distributed to the Indians of New
York State. Every descendant of the once
famous Six Nations participated in the dis
tribution and each received, children as
well as adults about $325. This is the re
sult of the $2,000,000 award made in 1890
by Congress to the Six Nations in settle
ment of their claims for Kansas land titles
to which they secured in excha?ige for
lands in Wisconsin some 40 odd years ago.

Among unmannerly things, habit of
asking direct personal questions that can
not be evaded, and must be answered by
an affirmative or a denial, is one of the
greatest breaches of etiquette knovrn to
good breeding. A parlor is not a courtroom,
and two people chattering socially are not
respectively a cross-examiniug lawyer and
his victim. Yet persons who mean to be
polite often violate one of the first laws of
courtesy by asking questions about matters
which do not concern them. Curiosity is
never well-bred, and the inquisitive man
or woman who cannot restrain hie or her
under interest in a neighbor's affairs is
marked as ill-train d .'ocially.
Mr.H. Mann met with a srioiu accident
last Sunday aftern ion while ridiug her
wheel to town, accompanied by Mr. Mann
and several triends. She was ridiug in nd
vance of the party and when near the last
crossing entering Salem she Diet a young
man comi g in the opposite direction at a
break-ueck speed. Instead of turning ti
the right as he should, he turned to the
left and collided with Mrs. Manu's whoe1,
throwing her violently to the ground.
Her face was badly bruised and it is feare 1
that she was injured internally. A doctor
was immediately summoned and Mm.
Mann was at ouce put into a carriage ami
brought to her home in Chemawa, an I
has 8 nee been under care of a physician.
It is a pity that such hair-br in.-1
schorchers are premitted to ruu Mt
large. The track to Salem is narrow and
no one should ride at a high rate of speed
as women and children are often nH
with, and even a very few men care t
meet with a veritable cyclone on bail-bearing
wheels on this narrow path. They are
careless because they have nothing to risk,
as their neck has no value and their rid
dance is only a public convenience. IV
pity is that the innocent party is always iIk
sufferer.
In a recent game of ball between 'li
Salem and Eugene league teams, th
former shut out the latter entirely and hi i
14 runs in their possession. Six Cheiimwt
boys were in the Salem team and al! d.l
good playing. Sam Morris' pitching
superb, and the first three men at the l i:
failed to find the ball at all. In speakix1
of Joe Teabo's playing, the Statesman sa :
"Teabo is at all times the center of .r
traction, and is one of the best all-rnii: :
ball players that ever stepped into V?
diamond. He is a thorough comedian s: i
keeps the crowd in an uproar from i'
time the curtain is raised until the ti:.
act. He knows the game aud ia in it at
times."
