ABOLISHMENT OF TRIBAL COURTS
Enforcement of Uncle Sam's Order to be
Resisted Vlot to Destroy
Federal Buildings.
Chicago, Dec. 21. A Washingtan
special to the Times-Herald eaya :
Trouble in the Indian Territory ia ex
pected by the commissioner of Indian
affairs, and by others who are familiar
with the present condition of things
in that country. On ' January 1st, the
tribal courts will be abolished by an act
passed at the last session of congress, and
the United States court given full juris
diction over the territory.
In many quarters the officers of the
Indian courts bave declared that they
will forcibly resist all efforts to prevent
them from doing business. The United
States marshals have given notice that
any tribal court attempting to - sit, .and
those assuming to conduct them will be
arrested.
. A delegation of eight Cherokees, seven
of them full-bloods, is now in the city.
' A few days ago they presented a memo
rial to congress asking that the law be
rescinded, but congress has now ad
journed without action, and when it
again convenes the Indian courts will be
out ot existence.
Meanwhile the snbcommitte of the
senate committee on Indian affairs, ap
pointed to consider the problems pre
sented in the territory, practically de
cided to recommend an amendment to
the law applying to the apportionment
of all lands beld by the five civilized
tribes among the members ot these
tribes, and aleo an amendment provid
ing that all valid leases shall be recog
nized by the government of the United
States and the money paid on account
of them covered into the treasury of the
United ' States for the benefit of the
various tribes.
The Dawes commission has reported
its failure to come to any conclusion
with the Indians. Such agreements as
have been concluded vary so in their
provisions, that, in view of the fact that
eventually a uniform system of govern
ment must be provided for Indian ter
ritory, it is,questionable whether any of
the agreements should be ratified by
congress until the desired and necessary
uniformity can be reached. -
Secretary Bliss thinks no government
will be satisfactory until congress shall
provide for a single uniform system of
laws for the Indian Territory that shall
place all its. inhabitants in possession of
the rights of American citizenship.
CROSSED WIRES THE CAUSE.
Fire Destroys Kansas City Auditorium
and Hotel.
Kansas City, Dec. . 21.-r-.The Audito
rium, the largest and finest playhouse
west of Chicago, and the Auditorium
hotel, one of the most fashionable host
leries in the city, situated at Holmes and
Ninth streets, were gutted by fire this
morning. The 185 hotel guests escaped
in safety, although many of ttiem were
compelled to leave the building in their
nightclotbes.
The loss on the entire property, which
is owned by Alexander Frazer, a local
business man, will aggregate $430,000;
aggregate insurance, $85,000. Owing to
v high insurance rate a great deal of in
surance had been allowed to lapse.

Milwaukee, Dec. 21. A project is on
foot to organize another, malting com

been practically organized and was now
looking about for a site to a large malt-ing-bouse
to be erected. The new com

JIKRCBANIS . WATCH THE ORIENT
Crisis There Likely to Stimulate Bus
iness Here.
San Fbancisco, Dec. 21. In mercan
tile circles much attention is paid to
news from the Orient. The intelligence
that a Russian fleet occupied Port Ar
thur, following so closely on the news
that Russia had obtained a firm grip on
Cerea, leads to the belief that active
hostilities between the mikado and the
czar cannot long be deferred,
It is .regarded as significant that
agents ot the Russian empire bave re
cently made extensive purchases ' of
army supplies in the United States for
the garrison of Vladivostock. Several
day ago a cablegram from Vladivostock
was receivedin this city inviting a num
ber of firms to bid on an immense quan
tity of provisions.
The merchants here anticipate a great
demand for provisions to maintain the
fleets and armies now assembling in the
Orient. '
How to Prevent 1'nenmonla.
At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid ot some reliable
cough medicine is liable to reenlt in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know of
no better lemedy to cure a cough, or cold
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
We have used it quite extensively and it
has always given entire satisfaction
Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is knowu
to tie a certain preventive of pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have
used it for colds and la grippe, we have
not yet learned of a single case having re
sulted in pneumonia. Persona who bave
weak lungs or have reason to fear an at
tack of pneumona, should keep the
remedy at hand. The 25 and 50- cent

DISEASES OF INFANTS.
Hembrsaeoai Affection! Are the Moit
, . , Common. f
The high mortality among infants
is largely due to the widespread oc
currence ot inflammations of the mem
branous, 'tract, the' exact seat of in
flammation varying with the change of
the seasons. In summer the mucous
membrane of the stomach is likely to
be attacked, causing frequent vomiting-,
which results in an interference
with the absorption of nourishment;
while a similar inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the intestines
will cause persistent diarrhoea, with a
like result. ' . V .
In cold' weather the mucous mem
brane -of the nose,: throat or lungs
is oftener the seat of the disease.
The skin of infants, too, offers but a
feeble resistance to outside influences.
A condition of the blood due to indi
gestion often gives rise to eczema on
the cheeks, scalp and elsewhere, the
symptoms being roughness, redness
and even: moisture weeping of the
skin. Local irritations, such as mois
ture, cold, or the rubbing of seams, are
apt to five rise to the state known as
"chafed skin." ,
, This sensitiveness of the infanta'
skin should be borne in mind, and the
underclothing1 should be loose, soft,
and frequently changed, while nature's
skin-tonic for both infants and adults
the bath should be daily adminis
tered. '
In view of the quickness with which
infants become chilled, especially be
fore the period when they are able to
walk, the garment worn- next to the
skin should be -invariably of wool,
which material affords the best protec
tion against a too rapid 'loss of heat.
In suirTner the garment should be thin
ner, but always of wool. Infants are
rarely "bundled up" too much, not
withstanding opinions often freely ex
pressed to the contrary.
The lack of resistance to disease in
infancy which has been noted in con
nection with the skin and the mucous
membrane is likewise characteristic of
other organs. The most common age
at which infectious diseases are con
tracted is in infancy, and in early in
fancy they prove more severe than
with older children and are oftener
fatal. ' - .
An impression", that "children's dis
eases" are .better once had and done
with isventirely at variance with the
observation and judgment of the med
ical profession. The sequence of dis
eases which the physician so often sees
in children, as the result of one of the
contagious diseases needlessly con
tracted, is a lesson which he cannot ig
nore. One disease makes a child less
able to battle successfully with an
other which may be contracted before
he is rid of the first. Wise parents
ward off the contagious diseases as
long as possible. Even measles fre
quently proves fatal in the young in
fant; while in other cases its evil ef
fects are lasting throughout childhood.
Youth's Companion.
Esergy Directed. -
There is no danger so great for a
man or a boy as idleness. If mothers
and fathers would' save their boys, they
should give them something to do. Buy
an ax and a saw, and let them chop
up that wood, no matter how large
the bank account.; Let them keep the
weeds from the garden and the tall
grass from the lawn, the dirt from
their own clothes and the dust from
their own shoes. Don't do everything
for them. It pays to teach the boys
work not so much for what they can
do as for what it does for them. If
more-boys could have a piece of ground,
a shop, a place of some kind where they
could work off their superfluous energy,
we would hear loss of truant and reform
schools. In the matter of reading, too.
If you do not wish the boys to read
worthless books anJ trashy novels, you
must put into their hands good, well-
written books, and these not of the dull
type, which will discourage a young
mind. St. Loui3 Republic.

that physicians ot Cowden . and Fan
