Commissioner Browning Makes
His Annual Report.
NO OUTBREAK DURING THE
The of the Redskins In Both Ed
ucation and Civilization Ila. Been Unin
terrupted and Sab'tantial—With Few
Exceptions the Entire Indian Service Is
Now Under Civil Service Buies.
Washington, Sept. 29—D. M. Brown
ing, commissioner of Indian affairs, has
made his annual report to the secretary
of the interior. He says with no out
break or disturbance during the year,
the progress of Indians generally in ed
ucation and civilization has been unin
terrupted and substantial. The main
effort now is and for many years must
be to put the Indian on »'s allotment,
get him to support him.-Tt there, pro
tect him from encroachment and injus
tice and educate and train his children
in books and industries. As a first step,
so far as treaty obligations do not inter
fere by requiring the payment of
moneys and issuance of rations and an
nuities, the Indians are given to under
stand that the government will not feed
and clothe them while they remain in
idleness. Such funds as are available
for the purpose are devoted to starting
Indians in homes. If an Indian will go
upon an allotment and work to improve
it the government will assist him in
building a ho" se and getting his farm
in operation and making a practical
farmer.
The commissioner says the govern
ment goes further and pays the Indian
for his work. The regular Indian em
ployes of the government were paid last
year, $500,000. The diversity of crafts
and industries are the outgrowth of ad
vanced civilization. The reports from
Indian agents, he says, shows that In
dians, in many different ways are com
to earn their living. They have sup
plies for the government, raise crops to
sell, raise and sell live stock, work in
the woods and on irrigation duties, and
in many minor ways contribute to their
own subsistence.
The entire Indian service, with few
exceptions, is now under civil service
regulations. Exceptions are made as to
Indians who are employed under non
competitive examinatinos.
Progress in educating the Indians is
reported to be very satisfactory in ppite
of many difficulties encountered. The
enrollment during the year was 23,352,
an increase of 315 over the previous
year. The average attendance increased
852.
The reduction of the number of con
tract schools have been made in accord
ance with provisions of the last Indian
appropriation bill, and in 1897 there will
be an expenditure of $257,928 on this
account, against $463,505 this year.
The commissioner urges the passage
of the bill now pending in congress to
prohibit the sale of liquor to Indians
who have become citizens. He says the
correspondence in his office shows that
the Indians in the west and northwest,
who have received allotments, are be
coming demoralized by the liquor traffic.
The commissioner reviews at length
the disturbances at Jackson’s Hole,
Wy., and says steps have been taken to
prevent any conflict between Indians
and local authorities.
CHARGED WITH KIDNAPING.
Prominent Citizens of Columbia, Ala., Ar
rested by Florida Officers.
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 29.—0 n
March 12 Charles Shadgett broke into
and robbed a store in Columbia, Ala.
After the robbery he fled into the state
of Florida, Columbia being but a short
distance from the line. A posse from
Columbia followed him and succeeded
in capturing him at Blue Pond, a few
miles south of Chipley, Fla.
The prisoner acknowledged his guilt
and offered to return to Alabama with
out formalities, so his captors carried
him back to Columbia, where he was
turned over to the authorities and was
convicted under an indictment which
was pending against him at the time of
the burglary in Columbia.
Nothing was thought of the matter
until this week, when officers appeared
in Columbia from Florida, having war
rants and requisitions for all the parties
engaged in the arrest of Shadgett,
charging them with kidnaping. The
party was placed under arrest, and,
waiving the preliminary of approval of
the requisition from the governor of
Florida by Governor Oates, they went
to Chipley, Fla., where they gave bonds
for appearance at the next term of court.

Debfneas Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When the tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing’ and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases dut of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucoussurfaces.

Career of Judge Joseph H. Earle of South

Judge Joseph H. Earle, who will suc

neutral position seems to have added to
his popularity. His whole life has been
an extremely active one.
Born in Greenville, S. C., 49 years
ago, he left school at the age of 17 to
enter the Confederate army. He served
to the end of the war in Kemper’s artil
lery. When peace was declared and he
had given up his sword, he returned to
Greenville, entered the university, was
graduated and spent several years teach
ing school and studying law. Five years
after he had discarded shoulder straps
he was admitted to the bar and began
the practice of his profession.
Judge Earle’s public service began in
1873, when he was elected to the state
legislature. Ho served in that body un
til 1880, when he declined a re-election.
In 1882 he was elected to the state sen
ate, but in 1886, before his term as sen
ator had expired, he was elected attor- ,
ney general of the state, being re-elected
in 1888. In 1890 he made an exciting
canvass for governor against Benjamin
R. Tillman, but was unsuccessful. In
1894 he was elected circuit judge and
still holds this office.
Some of his campaign experiences
have been exciting and interesting. His
life has often been threatened by his
clitical opponents, and on one occasion
he slapp' d the candidate for governor
in the face on a public platform. He
practically threw away the governor
ship in 1888 by declining to allow his
name to Le used in the convention be
cause of a previous promise to another
candidate that ho would not oppose his
nomination.

A DISGRACE TO EUROPE
Armenian Refugees Starving In
the City of Marseilles.
THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO FRIENDS
Escaped From the Bloodthirsty Turk.,
Hoping to Eventually Beach the United
State, and Begin Life Anew—Giveu the
••Cold Shoulder*’ by the Various Relief
Associations of the World.
[Copyrighted. 1896, by Associated Press. 1
Marseilles, Sept. 29.—There exists a
condition of affairs in Uris city at pres
ent which seems to be a disgrace to
Europe, and to the Armenian associa
tions generally throughout the world.
Subsisting upon government, municipal
or private charity here are 500 unfortu
nate Armenians, men, women and chil
dren, young and old, healthy and sick,
who have succeeded in escaping from
the bloody massacres at Constantinople
and who were*one and all, buoyed up
by the hope, on landing, that they
would be able, eventually, to reach the
laud of freedom, the United States.
But weeks have already elapsed and
nothing definite app ars to have been
done for their relief, much less towards
finding them homes, by any one of the
many associations for the relief of suffer
ing Armenians which have been organ
ized in England or America. These
unfortunates, however, seem to be the
very class to which the hand of charity
should be first extended.
Large amounts of money have been
raised in the past for relief of destitute
Armenians in Armenia, but the situa
tion of the latter is not a whit worse
than that of the half starving people
here, if as bad. The Armenians in Ar
menia certainly had their coreligionists
and fellowcountrymen to fall back upon
but the poor people here seem to have no
friends in the wide world, yet they are as
honest and industrious a class as you can
find on the shores of the Mediterranean.
Some South American speculators, it is
true, taking advantage of the deplora
ble situation, have prevailed upon 300
of the Armenian refugees to allow them
selves to be carried to the Argentine
republic, there, in all. probability, to
meet the fate of thousands of the He
brews of Russia, who emigrated to
South America only to find themselves,
figuratively speaking, tossed from the
frying pan into the fire.
Only about 18 of the 800 Armenians,
who reached here have as yet been able
to start for the United States. These
few emigrants are of the better class of
Armenians. They are fairly well sup
plied with funds and will probably start
for New York via Southampton. What
is to become of the remaining unfortu
nate Christians fleeing from the blood
stained Turks, who are living on char
ity here with their eyes turned long
ingly towards the United States?
It would seem that these poor people
would be barred from reaching the
United Stares, and they may be for
bidden to land there, even if they suc
ceed in obtaining transportation to the
shores of North America. Surely, if
there ever was a case in which iron rules,
necessary no doubt, might be relaxed, it
is in the case of these stricken people,
flying from persecutions and butcheries
that have prevailed in their own land.
There is material here for the fornic
ation of a strong Armenian colony, and
it would appear that there must be some
spot on earth where these victims of
the bloodthirstiness and misgovernment
of Abdnl Hamid, sultan of Turkey, who,
according to generally credited reports,
must have caused the massacre of some
50 000 Christians during the last few
years, can earn an honest living.
IS IT A TRIFLE?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE. ACID DYS
PEPSIA OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Strips
Disease
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is a form of indi
gestion resulting from fermentation of the
food. The stomach being too weak to
promptly digest it, the food remains until
fermentation begins, filing the stomach
with gas, and a bitter, sour burning taste
in the mouth is often present. This con
dition soon becomes chronic and being an
every day occurance is given but little at
tention. Because dyspepsia is not imme
diately fatal, manv people do nothing for
the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is
known as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and
is now becoming rapidly u ed ;n 1 pre
scribed as a radical cure for every form of
dyspepsia.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere a‘, 50 cents per pack
age. It is prepared by the Stuart Chemical
Co., Marshall, Mich., and while it prompt
ly and effectually restores a vigorours di
gestion, at the same time is perfectly
harmless and will not injure the most de
licate stomach, but on the contrary by
giving perfect digestion strengthens the
stomach, improves the appetite and
makes life worth living.
