A Decision That Paraiyzed the Pro.
hibitionists of Kansas

TOPEKA, KAN, Oct. ia decision
was rendered in the United States cir
cult court in this city this morning that
created CONSERVATION among the friends
OF prohibition in Kansas. The decision
allows the reopening of the Original

and in effect declares that the Wilson
bill enacted by congress does not restore
tho power Of the Kansas prohibitory law
as against the original package"
saloons.
Charles Rahrer, agent for Kansas
City liquor-house. was arrested for sell
ing liquor in Topeka after the passage
OF the Wilson bill. The defendant ap-
piled TO the United States circuit court
for q writ of habeas corpus, admitting
that he sold liquor as charged, but
claiming, inasmuch as the Kansas pro-
hibitory law was enacted before the Will
son bill, that bill did not apply. Judges
Foster and Phillips sustained the view,
and granted the writ.

returned fire, out the assassins escaped
before the police arrived, and It is not

The Northsyn Cheyepuea

The CON mission recently appointed to
negotiate with the Northern Cheyennes
in Montana and South Dakota, compris-
ing B. B. Smalloy, of Vermont; J. Ter
Toss, of North Dakota, and General
Miles, of the army met to-day in the
office of Secretary Noble and were given
instructions with regard to their work.
The Indian com missioner said to-day
that while no recon- minendations would
be made by the bui eau, 1t was u positive
necessity that some change in the loca-
tion of these Cheyenn should be made.
The government will not allow them to
remainAn their present condition any
longer. They are regarded as about the
most troublesome OF all the Northwest
ern Indians. They have advanced very
little toward civilization. This is not
entirely their fault, the Indian commits
sioner said. They have not enough to do,
and for that reason become uuarrelsome.
They have not land enough in their
present reservation to do successful
farming. One thing that has caused u
good deal OF trouble is the fact that
thirty-two families of whites were in
cluded in the reservation. They do not
make a happy family. The Indian
bureau has q proposition before 1t to re.
move the Cheyenues to the Crow reser-
vation in Montana and to the Pine Ridge
agency in South Dakota. 1t irdorses
neither proposition officially, aud which
ever one Is satisfactory to all the Indians
concerned would be agreeable to the de-
partnient. About all II wants is to get
these Indians in to such country that
they may be given an equal show with
the other rod men. in learning the ways
of the civilization of the white man.
