HALF.BREED.
Their Status Under the Allot-
ment Law.
a Decision which VIII Afect the title to
Land All Through the Northwest.

Considerable comment has been
aroused by the decision of the United
States court in regard to the status OF
children born of Indian women and
white or citizen husbands. The case
was that of the United States VS.. Ward,
on the charge of selling liquor to a
half-breed. The evidence was that the
half breed in question had n colored
man for father, who was citizen,
and an Indian mother. The decision of
the court is that, the children follow the
status of their father, and hence are
citizens of the United States, and
amenable only to its laws. If the de-
cision holds good it will affect the
ownership of the greatest part of the
lands taken up in the vicinity Of Ft
Pierre, S. D., and Stanley, across the
river from Pierre, as it is nearly all
held by squaw-men's children or their
wives. The department officials at
Washington have always held the con-
trary, and the allotting agents, who
have been and are now at work, are
performing their duty under instruc-
tions to give all people of Indian blood
u preference for lands under the allot-
ment law.

under beds, under the piazza, in the
basement, in the attic, even in the
stove; but little Mamie could nowhere
be found Her parents were frantic. In
the meantime her voice could be heard
continually, growing fainter, but more
agonizing. The mother, who was rush
ing about frantically, became un-
conscious. A large crowd was at
tracted to the scene, and they began
literally to tear the house to pieces.
Several of the women were made Ill by
the excitement After four hours
search the hunt was temporarily given
up and the voice was supposed to be OF
ghostly origin. Wednesday evening
the trunk happened to be moved, and
known to be empty it's weight caused it
TO be examined In it was lying the

crawled in during play and was caught
by the snap lock.

A Big Umbrella Scheme Forming in New
York City.
The United States Umbrella Provid-
ing Co., with capital of S15O, 600, and
whose sole object is to provide umbrel-
las to those who pay for the privilege,
is rapidly getting into shape. 1t pro-
poses to have depots in all the leading
cities of the United States. To become
a member of the Borrowers club a
subscription fee of So is paid, for
which is given a metal check. Caught
in the rain, the member has only to
step into one of the depots, surrender
his check and get a neat silk umbrella,
which need not be returned to the place
from which it had been obtained, for it
can be carried for that matter, to San
Francisco and handed into one of the
depots there, and a metal check
again be secured. The company
will keep the umbrellas in repair.
Eight hundred depots will be establish
ed in New York city, and additions will
be made to the number as required.
There will be depots at each end of the
elevated stations, and at all of the the
aters, railroad stations, many of the
hotels, ferries and along the principal
streets. The company has already
placed an order for 25, 600 silk umbrel-
las, 8, 900 of which are to be delivered

WARNING TO CH1NAMEN
Who May BE Found in the vicinity of tho
st. Lawrence River.

Sbs
Special Agent Moore has made a
report to the treasury department in
regard to the case of three China
men recently arrested at Ogdens-
burg, n. Y, for illegally entering
the United States from Canada and
who were discharged by order of United
States Commissioner Strong, on the
ground that there was no proof of their
ever having been in Canada. The agent
will make it very hard to convict any
other Cinnamon who may be found at
suspicious times and places in the vicin-
ity of the st. Lawrence river unless
they are actually seen to land. He adds,
however, that he will continue to arrest
them as fast as found.

EXCHANGING WAR RECORDS
Between the Government of the United
States and Germany.

otHUeS anu Oerlnanys
When Mr.. Poultney Bigelow was vis-
iting Berlin some months ago he found
that the military archives of the general
staff were completely lacking in copies
of the many and valuable publ
cations which have been issued
by the U. S. department of war.
He also ascertained that the military
library at Washington was equally
destitute of German war publications.
Upon this information Minister Phelps
set about introducing a system of inter-
change, which would be valuable to
the service in both countries. Secretary
of War Proctor approved the idea, and
forwarded two large boxes of public
documents on military subjects, which
were acknowledged by Gen. Won Schli-
effen, chief of staff.

Five years ago q white man named
w. T. Hunnicutt escaped from the Mis-
sissippi penitertiary. He was sentenced
for ten years for stealing a mule in
Washington county Saturday he re-
turned and surrendered himself, and is
once more behind the walls. On arriv-
ing in jackson he hunted up Dr.
Sproles, pastor of the Baptist church
and chaplain of the penitentiary, tell
ing him that while in the pen he became
converted at his services, and not long
since, while lying dangerously i'll at
Delhi, La, that sermon had come back
to him, and he determined then and
there to lead a better life and return
to Mississippi to serve out his sentence,
even though he were not guilty of steal
ing the mule. DR.. Sproles accompanied
Hunnicut to Gov. Stones office, where
an explanation was had and clemency
prayed for They then went to the
penitentiary, where the converted con-
vict voluntarily entered upon the pun
islment meted out to him years ago. 1t
