Invalids hard at work in the
forests making their camps, lolling
about in hammocks in summer with
heads uncovered, and lying muffled in
blankets and furs in the sunlight in
the dead of winter, with no shelter
but the blue sky above them. But

the hillsides is another strange recreation

able to attempt it, and daily a dozen
or a score of patients are put through

occupy themselves in conversation,
reading, sewing and various games.
These camps are unique in many respects.
The buildings are composed
simply sheds, having a floor to prevent
of but three sides, that facing the
south being left open. They are
the dampness from the ground affecting
the inmates. Some forest trees
are useu lor posts, and the walls made
of planks or boughs fastened to them.
If the temperature is too low for com- |
fort, it is moderated by the use of a i
small stove, sometimes an open fire.

AN INDIAN DAILY PAPER.
Edited by Indian Humorist, Advocate of
State Rights For His Race.
There has been launched at Eufaula,
[ndian Territory, the first issue of the
arst dally paper ever printed or published
by an Indian, says a Guthrie,
Oklahoma, dispatch to the New York
rimes. The editor is Alexander Posey.
siiowu as lue ureetv duiu, <t ujcllujcl
>f the Creek tribe of Indians, who already
has achieved distinction in the
newspaper field as editor, poet and
lumorist. He is one of the prominent
nen of the Creek Nation and took an
active part in the convention held at
Eufaula recently, called for the purpose
of formulating an Indian plan for
Statehood. He helped frame the famjus
appeal to the people for an Indian
State, separate from Oklahoma, in
tvliicu 110 intoxicating liquors suouiu
;ver be sold.
Although known as the "Creek
Bard," Posey is only half Creek, as
lis father was a Scotch trader, an
?arly settler in the Indian country.
He was born near Eufaula on August
i3, 1873, and was educated at Bacone
University. Muscogee, I. T., from which
lie was graduated seven years ago.
\fter leaving school he engaged in
iducational work and was successivey
superintendent of the Creek Orphan
School, superintendent of Public Instruction
for the Creek Nation and
superintendent of the Eufaula Creek
Eligh School. Before entering the
newspaper field Posey had won a
eputation in literary lines. As a boy
ie gained some renown as a writer
)f verse, which he signed by the nom
le plume of "Chinnubble Ilarjo." In
Vlarch, 1902, he became the editor of
:he Indian Journal, a weekly newspaper
at Eufaula and the oldest paper
published in the Creek Nation.
In addition to making it a thorough
lewspaper he has won a reputation
hrough its columns as the original and
rnly Indian humorist. Every week his
paper contains a humorous and gently
latirical column of comment on Inlian
Territory politics prepared in the
!orm of a letter and signed "Fos
^ixico." These letters are written in
he dialect used by the Indians, who
hus far have not accustomed themiclves
to the idioms of the English
anguage. They made an immediate
lit from the time of their first appearince,
and to-day they are reprinted as
ioon as published in the Journal by
ilmost every paper in Indian Ternary
and Oklahoma. His comments
>n the Statehood--situation have atracted
especial attention, and have
lone much to establish the Indian in
he opinion that he should have a State
vherein he may control.
Leading Cherokee politicians express
hemselves as being in favor of abolshing
the office of editor of the Cher- 1
>kee Advocate, published at Talequah,
!. T.. and to permit that old-time Inlian
journal to pass into history, as it !
s claimed it has filled its scope of use- I
ulness and is a needless burden upon
he funds of the Cherokee. The Cherikee
Advocate is the only paper in Inliun
Territory printed in the Indian
anguage. At one time it was a great
taper among the full bloods, but durnz
the past two years it has been cut |
town in size, and the expense? of runling
it are very great. The salaries
if the office force, it is contended, are
lot sufficient to justify good newspa>er
men in taking charge of it, thereore

fou would search the Bible pretty
horougbly before you would iind tJiat

t would be in Sterne's 'Sentimental

"Sterne gets a good deal of praise
or the origination of this sentence,
lut it was originated, as a matter of
act, before he was born. In a colection
of French proverbs published
n 1594 we find, 'Dieu mesure le vent

" 'In the midst of life we are in

The use of auxiliary yachts is fining
iuto increased vogue, for the evident
reason that in them are combined

the influence of the wind, without the
uncertainty of the craft entirely dependent
on sails. Men of business
who wish to eujoy the pleasures of the
sea cannot indulge themselves, for the
reason that there are so many possibilities
of a delayed return, owing to the
absolute dependence of the craft on
wind, weather and tide, but with the
auxiliary yacht this element Is entirely
eliminated, and when the wiDd dies out
or the tide is unfavorable, it is cnly
necessary to start the engines and
proceed without loss of time.
The presence of the propeller hanging
idly on the bottom of the boat when
the sails are in use has always been regarded
as a drawback to the completeness
of this combination, and many
ways have been devised to dispose of it
under these circumstances. There has
been,rpcently invented a folding pro-,,
peller shown in the accompanying cut,
which has the irerit of novelty if nothing
else. This one is so arranged that
when it is in use it is as effective as
any other, but tin minute the engines
ire stopped and the sails raised it folds
up of its own accord, and the blades
are' disposed of in such a way that
they in no way impede the forward motion
of the boat.
The blades are shown in the acoom- ;

positions. The invention ij that of Arthur

DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURTROOM
Brother of Viotim Overcome When He
Keallxed That His Work For Vengeance
Had Been Successful ? Condemned
Man Once the Secretary of
State of Kentucky.
Georgetown, Ky.?Cnlel) Powers, formerly
Secretary of State of Kentucky,
who mnwlnfod f7?r j-h? third timo r>f the
murder of Governor Goebel and sentenced
to death.
Judge Bobbins overruled a motion
for a new trial and fixed November 25
next as the day for the execution.
At his two previous trials, which
were reversed by the Court of Appeals,
Powers was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Powers' counsel permitted him to
make a speech to the jury in this case.
He made an impassioned appeal to
them, declaring that he was innocent
of the murder of Goebel and had no
knowledge of it. Those who heard
Powers' speech thought it would have
considerable effect on the jury, but this
proved to be untrue. The jury retired
and soon brought in a verdict of guilty
as charged. Caleb Powers, like the
man of iron he has proved himself
through all his trials, received the verdict
without emotioD. When the jury
went out he was sitting chatting with
friends, and aside from glancing up as
the jurymen filed out, made no move.
After this cursory glance he turned
to his companions and resumed his conversation.
"It's an u?just verdict, not
warranted by the evidence," declared
Powers. "I shall certainly appeal
again."
Arthur Goebel, a younger brother of
the murdered Governor, has spent practically
the whole of the last three years
working on the case, and it is largely
to his efforts that the confessions of
others implicated in the murder were
secured. He collapsed under the strain
when the verdict was announced. He
has sworn that he will do nothing until
his brother's murder is avenged by the
law. Immediately after the conviction
and sentence of Powers h? sent this
telegram to a brother who is in the
West:
"Powers' trial ended. Sentenced to
death."
At the two former trials, which took
place here, Judge Cantrell presided.
For this trial, however. Governor Beckham
appointed Special Judge Robbins.
From him the attorney for the defendant
secured the granting of an appeal j
C: r the case to the Kentucky Court of !
appeals, it was tn:s court, wuen composed
of Republicans, that twice
granted new trials for Powers. The
court is now Democratic. Should it refuse
to grant a new trial the counsel
for the defense may try to get the United
States Supreme Court to take the
case under consideration.
Powers was removed to the Scott
County jail immediately after sentence I
was passed, to be held there pending j
the appeal of his case to the higher i
courts. A telegram from Indianapolis
states that former Governor W. S. Tay- |
lor said: "This verdict affects me very ;
much. I cannot say a word."'
1000 BULGARIANS SLAIN.
The Situation In Macedonia is One of Extreme
Gravity.
Salonica.?The Bulgarian insurgents
sustained a severe reverse at Smilovo,
1000 of them being killed.
The insurgents to the number of 3000
occupied a position on the heights,
which was stormed by six battalions
of Turkish troops, commanded by
Servet Pasha. After losing 1000 of
their number, the Bulgarians lied in
the face of the heavy Turkish artillery |
fire. The Turkish losses were insignificant.
The Bulgarian insurgents on capturing
the town of Neveska, seized the
arms and ammunition of the garrison,
levied a contribution of $3000 on the
town and withdrew to the mountains.

bombarded the town, but receiving no
response, xuej eiuereu wiuioui muiesiing

He said that he sent the stolen goods

sending him part of the money.
He had a letter, written in German,
and inclosing a money order for $2500

about what he should send in
