ST. LOUIS IS SHAKEN TJP
An Earthquake Frightens Residents
of the Exposition City.
St. Louis, Aug. 17.An earthquake
shock which lasted for several seconds
was distinctly felt in all parts of St. Louis
early yesterday morning. So marked was
the seismic disturbance that many jumped
from their beds in fright and waited trem
blingly for other and greater shocks.
Alton. 111., Aug. 17.An earthquake
shock was felt here at 3:45 a. m. yester
day. The shock shook plastering loose
in the main auditorium of the Methodist

SIECK WAS ALMOST DEAD
Handkerchief Saturated With Chlo
roform Was Over His Face.
Speoial to Ihe Journal.
Marshalltown, Iowa, Aug. 17.G. M.
Sieck, manager of an awning company at
Des Moines, was found in his room at a
hotel in this city almost dead, with a
handkerchief saturated with chloroform
over his face. A bottle of whisky and
opium mixed was found in the room. The
doctors say me may recover. It is not
known whether It is a case of attempted
murder or suicide.
ABOUT COMPLEXIONS
Pood Makes Them Good or Bad .
. Saturate the human body with strong
coffee and it will in time show in the com
plexion of the coffee drinker.
This is caused by the action of coffee
on the liver, thus throwing part of the
bile into the blood. Coffee complexions
are sallow and muddy and will stay that
way until coffee is given up entirely.
The sure way to recover rosy cheeks
and red lips is to quit coffee and drink
Postum Pood Coffee which makes red
blood. "I had been for more than 20 years
an inveterate coffee drinker and it is ab
solutely true that I had so completely
saturated myself- with this drug that my
complexion toward the last became per
pectly yellow and every nerve and fibre
in me.was affected by the drugs in coffee
"For days at a time I had been com
pelled to keep to my bed on account of
nervous headache and stomach trouble
and medicines did not give me any relief,
I had never consulted a physician in re
gard to my headaches and terrible com
plexion and I only found out the cause of
them after I commenced the use of Pos
tum which became known to me thru
Grape-Nuts. W e all liked the food Grape
Nuts an it helped us so we thought Pos
tum mvtfi wrtainly have merit and we
concludes* $ / try It. W e found it. so de
licious that we continued the use altogeth
er although I never expected it to help
Vy health.

"After a few months my headaches
rer all gone and my complexion had
cleared wonderfully, then I knew that my
, troubles had been caused by coffee and
' "'had been cured when I left off coffee and

Bixby of the Dawes Commission De
nies That He Is in Any Way
Implicated.
New York Sua Special Service.
Chicago, Aug. 17.A Washington dis
patch to the Daily News says:
Disclosures made thru special agents
who have gone to the Indian Territory
and Oklahoma indicate that the scandals
in official life there will be more extensive
in proportion to the number of persons in
volved than those in the postoffice de
partment.
Special reports indicate that the leading
officials of the interior department, as
well as those of the department of justice,
have become interested in various compa
nies for the purpose of buying Indian
lands at ridiculously low figures and sell
ing them at their actual value.
Members of the Dawes commission are
said to be implicated with several district
attorneys. The sensational feature is
that the officials of the interior depart
ment and the department of justice have
for years devoted themselves to devising
schemes to protect the Indians when their
land was finally allotted.
In several instances the very men now
implicated came to Washington to consult
with the heads of departwents in devising
a plan for the Indians' protection.
Lands Are Very Valuable.
The value of the land will be several
hundred million dollars. In the Creek
nation alone the 20,000 Indians have 160
acres each, while in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw country the Indian allotments
are for 450 acres each. Most of this is
agricultural and easily worth from $25 to
$40 an acre.
Mr. Broslus, a special agent of the inte
rior department, has submitted a report to
Secretary Hitchcock, reviewing the organ
ization of the various "trust"' companies
formed to gobble the Indian lands, and
mentions the names of all United States
officials who have stock in them. Guy P.
Cobb, internal revenue inspector for In
dian Territory, ia the largest stockholder
in the Tribal Developoment company of
Tishomingo. In this same company is E.
Pliny Soper, United States district attor
ney for the northern district of the Indian
Territory. Soper is vice president.
The government pays Soper $5,000 a
year, and be is always consulted in Indian
affairs. It is known that several months
ago, when the rumors about irregulari
ties in the Indian Territory were first
mentioned in the newspapers, Attorney
GeneraJ Knox telegraphed for Soper to
come to Washington, A t that time it was
stated that Soper*s resignation would not
be accepted and that he must confront
any charges brought against him.
Tarns Blxby In a Company.
Governor Moseley of the Chickasaw na
tion is a stockholder of an important com
pany, and Tams Bixby of the Dawes com
mission is the vice president and leading
stockholder in the Muscogee Title and
Trust company, which does a large land
business.
J. George Wright, an Indian inspector
who has complete charge of the Indian
bureau's affairs for the territory, is a
member of another trust company, and
the report also alhfres that Thomas B.
Needles of Illinois, formerly'member' of
the. state legislature and, mentioned for
several high offices,- is vice president and
director of the International Banking and
Trust company, and that Charles A. Da -
vidson of Vinita,.clerk of . the United
States court, is a -director. The general
attorney is James A. Huckleberry, oris of
the assistant district attorneys.
"NOT GUILTY," SAYS BIXBY
Mlnnesotan Courts Investigation for Him
self and Associates.
Red Wing, Minn., Aug. 17."I have
never bought an acre of Indian lands,"
says Tarn Bixby specifically, "and I do
not intend to neither have the companies
in which I am interested. They had not
done it up to the time I left, so far as I
know, and I come pretty near knowing
what they have done."
Mr. Bixby is spending a fortnight at his
home here, and he smiled serenely at the
disclosures telegraphed from Washington.
He is a director of the Muskogee Title
and Trust company and of the First Na -
tional bank. The companies, he says,
do a straight banking and loan business.
They do stand ready to make loans on
these lands when purchased and that is
one of the purposes for which they were
organized.
Explains at Length.
"I cannot see how there can be any
basis for the charge that lands are sold
at improper figures," he said. "Every
parcel is sold under public bids, the deeds
are passed upon by the interior depart
ment under the secretary's supervision
and the department is represented by in
spectors in the field. They go to the high
est bidder, and if I was interested in the
purchase the only way I could get them
would be by outbidding competitors. The
dispatches mention Mr. Cobb, who waa
internal revenue inspector. His company
is in the land business, but he left the
government employ before he took up this
business.
SMASH OH THE MILWAUKEE
One Han Is Dead and Five Are Seri
ously Injured.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 17.One man is dead
and five others are seriously injured as the
result cf a head-on collision between "pas
senger trains, .leaving Madison at 6:20 and
Chicago at 7:40 to-day, on the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railroad.
T!e trains met two and a. half miles east
of Long Lake Station, due. it is thought, to
a mispuderctanding of orders. The dead
man, who succumbed to bis injuries two
hours afted the acicdent, was the express
messenger, the injured being the enginemen
ef both trains and the baggageman.

Pledged Himself Before Crime Not
to Punish the Regicides.
Berlin, Aug. 17.The Rhine Westphalia
Gazette prints a letter from a person in Bel
grade, "who is in confidential relations with
the leaders of the recent conspiracy" ex
plaining why King Peter is completely in
their hands, and does not dare to do the
slightest governmental act without their ap
proval. The writer affirms that the new king
was cognizant of the conspiracy long before
the regicide was perpetrated'and gave the
conspirators a written pledge not to puniBh
them if he was elected king. --*-

MAYrGO UP DIBEGT
s- -
Attorney General Not "Decided
Where to File Appeal in
Merger Case.
May Come Under Class of Cases
Which Go Straight to*
Supreme Court.
Attorney General Douglas returned from
his vacation this morning, and win con
fer to-morrow with his associates in the
merger case, General George P. Wilson
and M. D. Munn.
The principal subject of the conference
will be where to file the state's appeal.
Mr. Douglas said to-day:
"The state will appeal the case that is
all I can say, I have not decided yet
when the appeal will be filed. It is a
question which I will discuss with my
associates."
The rule is that appeals from the cir
cuit court involving the federal constitu
tion shall be carried direct to the supreme
court. If they involve a construction of
acts of congress, then they must go to
the circuit court of appeals. Many cases
present a perplexing problem, as coun
sel have to decide where the appeal goes,
and in some cases the appeal has been
filed in both places, but the courts have
frowned on such a practice. It has been
assumed that the merger case would go
first to the circuit court of appeals, but
it is still an open question in the mind
of the attorney general.
Mr. Douglas was absent over three
weeks, the only long .vacation he has tak
en since he took office In 1899. He spent
several days in the mountains about Banff,
and the rest of the time visiting the cities
of the west coast. H e called on Governor
McBrlde and Attorney General Stratton,
who are also engaged in prosecuting a
case against the Northern Securities
company. DARK DAYS FOR RUSSIA
French Sociologist Says the Nation's
life Is Endangered by In
ternal Dissensions.
New York Sun Bpeolal Service.
Paris, Aug. 17.The current number of the
Periodical European contains an important
article by Professor Ernest Tarbouriech, of
the College of Social Sciences, who was re
cently entrusted with a scientific mission to
Asia. He Bays that he is convinced from a
lengthened sojourn in Russia that the country
is in a most serious condition from a social
and economic standpoint. The best informed
men whom he met confessed that they con
stantly apprehended the gravest events. The
death struggle that is being waged between
the past and future in the empire of the czar
is daily becoming more fierce and sanguin
ary.
The foreign newspapers and even the Rus
sian journals are full of intelligence concern
ing strikes in the Caucassus, Sebastopol,
Odessa, Kieff and other places. The whole
of south and southwest Russia is disorgan
ized. The government is obliged to permit
native journals to keep their readrs informed
to a limited extent, but this is the first time
that such liberty has been granted.
The writer proceeds to deal with the part
played by M. Plehve, Russian minister of
the interior in the events which have well
nigh brought to a standstill commercial anci
traffic activity in the naptha districts of the
Black sea ports and all along the southern
and southeastern railways. The minister of
the interertor thru certain agents whose
names are mentioned, has tried to seize the
guidance of the working class movement by
the creation -of. a so-called Independent labor
party, which has been used as a means for
dividing and sowing dissension among the
masses.
One of the first effects of this officially
patronized agitation has been to create con
flict and confusion between the provincial
authorities and secret agents of the minis
try of the interior, who are strongly sup
ported from St. Petersburg.
WAS FIRST TO ENLIST
Charles F. Hand, Who Bears This
Distinction, Is in 'Frisco for
the Encampment.
Stands by Wright.
"You understand, the sale of the lands
does not come under my jurisdiction. Mr.
Wright, who is also mentioned, has charge
of that, and if he became interested in the
purchase I should consider that a different
matter. But he is a very careful man.
and I do not believe that he has been
guilty of any impropriety. This is only
a piece of the same business that has been
going on all the time.
"The Dawes commission has blocked
several schemes to rob the Indians and
each time it has left a crop of grievances.
From some of these storm centers I sup
pose the report was started that the trust
companies were engaged in buying lands.
There has been nothing in my own course
for which I would hot cheerfully face the
strictest investigation, and I have every
confidence in my associates."
Sin Francisco, Aug. 17.For the next
twenty-four hours every train that enters this
city will contain veterans wno are coming to

OPPOSE COLORED UNIONS
Louisiana Press Says Negroes Should
Not Be Admitted.
Ifew Orleans, Aug. 17.The Louisiana
press is almost unanimous in condemna
tion of the effort of the American Federa
tion of Labor to organize the unskilled
negro labor of the south. The Ne w Or
leans States, organ of the Louisiana
democracy, and a strong sympathizer
with union labor, issues this warning.
"The organisation of negroes into labor
unions ought not tor be encouraged or tol
erated by the white unions. It is a cer
tain breeder of trouble. For white unions
to persist in encouraging such organiza
tions means inevitably the end of labor
unionism in thlb country. It is but a step
between industrial fraternity anpowerfull d socia
equality, anrdna very short step at that.

Washington, Aug. 17.How Secretary
Root narawly escaped being president was
told by Postmaster General Payne at the
farewell banquet given to the retiring
