HORTON FOUND NOT GUILTY.
A Celebrated Murder Case in ST. Paul
Ends in an Acquittal.

ST.PAUL, Dec. 23.-After being out
twenty-five hours the jury in the cele-
brated Horton murder case brought
in verdict OF not guilty. The case
has been a hard fought one, Assistant
Prosecutor Mum doing efficient work
for the state and the defense being in
charge OF Erwin and Martin, well
known criminal lawyers. 1t will be
remembered that Walter f. Horton
was charged with the drowning of his
wife and little daughter on the evening
OF August II. The body of his wife
was recovered but not that OF the
child. On the supposition that Hor-
ton wished the death OF his wife in
order that he might get married again,
the arrest was made and the connec-
tion of young lady with the case
added to its sensational features.
The testimony was wholly circum-
stantial and for the defense Horton
took the stand and for two days was
nader g sharp fire OF cTvss -exannaa-
ton, which he bore well, although
slightly contradicting himself Great
crowds attended the trial throughout
and awaited the verdict tonight. The
jury was kept by the stubborn belief
of one juror IN the guilt of Horton.

declines to talk freely about his chances
for reelection. He says he will be re-
elected, but will not enter into details.
His friends are confident. They claim
for him IL votes, and say the other 2

men who were not instructed against
him, and believe they can count on six

A sHREwDsscHEME.
A Baltimore Man Successfully Works Num-
ber Of United States Senator'S

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 22.-The Evening
Star today publishes an account of a
shrewd attempt to make money from
United States senator by William
Duval and Mary f. Duval, his wife.
They sent letters to many different
senator's, stating they had named
their first born after the distinguished
statesman on account OF great admir-
alton for said statesman and because
his state was the native state OF the
happy father. Duval always enclosed
the certificate OF baptism and a num-
Der of tickets for benefit about to be
given for himself, on account of his
having broken his leg from a fall. Nu-
merous senator's sent of handsome
silver cups, properly engraved, and
Others were only too glad to send
money for tickets to the alleged bene-
fit performance, which was to be held
In Baltimore, that place being the res
idence of the Duvals. Already over
-Je.is5 sr- born ciHit.fen hare this
couple had and the number may in
crease. The matter came out through
Senator Msnderson, who received the
usual letter and baptismal certificate,
but happened to remember that he
had seen a similar certificate with the
name of Justin Morrill, Duval, where
Charles Manderson Duval appeared in
the one sent him. He investigated
quietly and the fact came out and
the senate was IN a mirthful state all
day. Among the senator's who have
been honored by having the child
named after them are Senator's San
ders, Power, Pettisrew, Sawyer, Wash
burn and Others. 1t is probable pro-
ceedings will be instituted against Du-
val.

INDIAN EXPENSES.
WHAT the Red Man Has Cost the Govern
ment.

The records show that from July 1,
1776, to June 80, 1856, the Indians
cost the government 1929, ,239, 900, or
about 81 900 for every buck, squaw
and papoose in thecountry at the time
OF the first white settlement. These
figures, remarks the Globe-Democrat,
are worth studying in a very careful
way. They represent an outlay that
is still going on, and that must con-
tinue so long as the present Indian
policy shall be maintained. The fact
is manifest that We have expended
more money upon this race than can
be justified by any process of reason
ing or any doctrine OF morality.
large portion OF it has been alb
sorbed, We know, by grasping and un-
scrupulous white SPECTATORS, but
these spectators are to be regarded
as part of the general system of Indian
management. u vii act 10 70 say
that the whites have been the chief
gamers in the case, for it is easy to
show that the Indians now possess a
considerable share of the proceeds. i'm
spite of their thriftless habits, and be
cause of the paternal kindness of the
government. They have more assets
to-day in proportion to their number
than the white settlers on the frontier
and We are feeding and clothing them,
while they live in idleness. Worse still,
we furnish them with arms and am
munition, and thus practically encour-
age them to go to war on the slightest
pretsxt.
That is what we call policy of civ
ilization; but as matter OF fact it il
directly inimical to the interests of
civilization. The Indians of to-day,
as race, do not differ materially
from those of a hundred years ago.
With all our trouble and all our ex-
pense, we have not overcome their
savage instincts and have not partic-
ularly changed their habits of life.
They still preserve their tribal rela-
tions, by our permission, and obey
the commands of their chiefs in con
tempt OF the authority of the govern
ment. We have taught them to look
to us for everything that they need,
and to believe that they are an indie
pendent people, with national rights
and privileges. This folly has been
paid for at a most expensive rate; and
the time has certainly come when a
wiser and more economical policy
should be adopted.
We should begin by disarming every
Indian in the country. Then their
tribal organizations should he dis
solved. Next, their re- ervation sys-
tenn should bedestroyed. And finally,
they should be required to 90 to work
and earn at least as much as the cost
OF their support. There is no reason
why we should prolong a policy that
is taking so much money out of the
treasury year after year, and doing so
little to solve the Indian problem. We
have a right to insist that a race
which has been favored in such re-
markable degree shall cease to call
upon US for means of subsistence. 1t
has had every opportunity to learn
the ways OF civilization and to adapt
itself to the circumstances Dy which IL
is surrounded; and it should now be
compelled to take care of itself, as the
white race is Obliged to do.

SITTING BULL AND THE TELEPHONE.
The Crafty Old Chiefs First Experience With
the Instrument.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-An old army
officer who knew Sitting Bull from the
time he surrendered to Mai. Brother
ton, up on the Assinaboine, tells an in
teresting story of the old mans first
experience with the telephone. "ft
was in 1885," says the story-teller,
''when old Tetonka E-ye-tonka first
came eastward through the Sioux
country. Bismarck was a perfect rev.
elation to him, and when he came
down the Northern Pacific road and
saw all the cities and villages the old
fellow marveled greatly. When he saw
Minneapolis and st. Paul his only
comment was: Houses. houses
nothing but housesl whole prairies OF
houses," In st. Paul we took him to
the p ,oneer Press Office, where the old
man sat still and looked wise. The
telephone exchange happened to be i'll
that building on the same floor with
the editorial office, and determined
to mystify the crafty savage. Taking
his nephew, Iron Bull, into the little
room where the telegraph operators oi
the paper had their quarters, put the
microphone in his hand and explained
to him how to talk Then | took Sit.

ing, about 100 feet, into the telephone
exchange room. Seating him at the

Won never saw, nor can imagine, the
expression OF utter surprise and pain

over Sitting Bulls usually immobilt
face. Mai. Mclaughlin asked him
what he thought OF it, but his only
comment was 'Wakan, wakan.' We
tried to get him to talk back into it
but he seemed afraid OF it and would
not listen to the uncanny sounds any
longer All the rest of the evening h,

from that trip he was as thorough,

THE MINERAL AGRICULTURAL STOCK AND WOOL INTERESTS

tories is false and absurd. We made
more progress in wool growing and
manufacturing during the four years
of prohibition by the war than in all
the fifteen proceeding years of free wool
and low duties. The danger from for
sign competition was not the half be-
fore the war that it is now. Foreign
hocks have doubled within the past
few years, and Australia and the La
Platte valley each have 1O0, 200, 900
sheep which would make short work
of our fiocks if wool were free.
=. American wool is the strongest
and best in the world for nine-tenths
of all the goods We use. Ii our fac
tories need a little fine Australian
wool for fancy face goods let it pay its
duty, for it comes out OF the rich and
not the poor consumer. Coarse carpet
wools are taxed only by a low revenue
duty and tn. foreigner pays the most
OF that, for he must sell for what he
can get.
A. We have a million farmers in the
West and South who are making no
money and sheep husbandry is their
only feasible help. Andrew Jackson
said when we had too many farmers
in his day, that we should set 500, 900
of them to manufacturing. Grover
Cleveland says destroy your tiocks
and turn 100000 workmen out of
i,anufHcturina and It them join the
mi.iion grain and cotton raisers who
are already on the road to the poor
house.
.. Shepherds have in every age
been proverbial for their courage in
defending their fiocks. ''The good
shepherd layeth down his life for the
sheep" Never before in history has
tn. shepherd had SO good reason as
nov to defend his flocks against those
evolves in Sleeps clothing" who would
sacrifice the best American interests
to q few foreign fiock-masters and
factories.

Profitable Inventions.

A minister in England made $50, 900
by inventing an odd toy that danced
by winding it with a string.
The New Jersey man who hit upon
the idea of attaching a rubber erasing
tip to the end of lead pencils is worth
100000.
The man who invented the return
ball, an ordinary wooden ball with
rubber string attached to pull it back,
made 81 100000.
As large a sum as was ever obtained
for any invention was enjoyed by the
Yankee who invented the inverted
glass bell to hang over gas Jets TO pre-
vent ceilings from being blackened by
smoke.
The common needle-thrfqder, which
everyone has seen for sale, and which
every woman owns, was boon to
nsedle-users. The man who invented
it has an income of $4,000 a year
from his invention.
Every one has seen the metal plates
that are used to protect the heels and
soles of rough shoes, but every one
doesn't know that within n few years
the man who hit upon the idea has
made S250,OoO.
The inventor OF the roller skate has
made 81, 100000, Notwithstanding
the fact that his patent had nearly ex
pired before the value of il was ascer-
tanned in the craze for roller-skating
that spread over the country few
years ago.
The gimlet pointed screw has pro-
duced more wealth than most silver
mines, and the Connecticut man who
first thought of putting copper tips on
the soles of cbildren's shoes is as well
off as if he had inherited 81, 100000,
for that's the amount his idea has re-
allied him in cold, clammy coin.
the miner who invented a metal
rivet at each end of the mouth OF coat
and trousers pockets, to resist the
strain caused by the carriage of pieces
of ore and heavy tools, has made more
money from his letters patent than he
would have made had he struck good
vein OF gold-bearing quartz.
