The originator of the theory that
the earth is round was probably
Thales of Miletus about GAO B. G..
He not only taught that the. earth
was globular in form, but of the five
zones, some of the principle circles of
the sphere, the capacity of the moon
and the true course Of the lunar

These Indian, couldn.. Vote.

Judge Smith denied the application
of 300 Indians residing upon the
Yankton Indian reservation who
seek to compel the commissioners Of
Charles Mix county to establish
voting places upon their reservation.
The Indians wanted to vote the
republican ticket and the COM
missioners who are independents
were charged with attempting to
disfranchisc these Indians by refusing
to establish places where they could
vote. These Indians have taken
allotmcnts Of land upon this
reservation and received patents
therefor under Dawes bill passed by
congress in 1887. This bill provides
that every Indian born within the
limits of the United States, to whom
allotments have been made under
this act is declared to be a citizen Of
the United States, with all the
privileges, and rights, of such
citizenship. The facts alleged admit
of no doubt that these Indians are
citizens Of the United States and as
residents of proper voting precincts
within the county and state as
established by law, would be entitled
to vote. The real difficulty arises as
to the right to establish voting
precincts within the limits Of an
Indian reservation which is not Il
public domain of the United States,
but is in fact an Indian country.
Negotiations are now pending how
ever, for the purchase Of the land.
but rs yet the Indians have not given
their assent thereto. The statutes Of
the United States declare that Indian
territory shall be excepted out Of the
boundaries and constitute no part of
the state until each tribe signifies its
assent to the president to be embraced
within Il particular territory. The
state constitution declares that I'VE
disclaim all right and title To all
lands owned or held by any Indian or
Indian tribes. and said land shall
remain under the absolute Juri>dictin
and control Of the United States. :
1t is clear that the United States
exercises sole and exclusive juris
diction over this reservation. No
right or jurisdiction has ever been
granted the state except Jurisdiction
to punish certain crimes committed
! by Indians.

Just what We had here in the way of

the different varieties of corn, wheat.
oats, barley. etc. and went to the
vicinity of Kingsley, Iowa, where he
delivered five lectures in as many
country school houses, which were
attended by over 300 farmers. Mr..
Ncedham said he made a good many
friends for South Dakota and is con-
tidcut that by next spring he can
bring Il colony of twenty families to
this state. At the close of each lee

in regard to this country. This is the
kline Of advertising that pays and
brings into the state good settlers.

years, was found dead in Bells livery
barn in Rcdheld last Monday night
under very distressing circumstances.
Young Brand had for some time been
at work with a Nebraska thrcshing
crew, near Warner, Brown county.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury is
that he came to his death as the re-
rult of exposure and the excessive use
of whiskey. Brand has always been
an exemplary young man and was
the main support OF an aged father
and mother. The grand jury. it is

The Woman's Republican Association of
the United states.

During the campaign of lSNS, the Ma
tional Republican Committee gave Its
first official endorsement 10 woman's
nrCanized work for the Grand Old
Party. The movement was considered
experimental, but was justified by re-
suits. The National Republican Com
nittea has officially endorsed this
movement for the pending campaign.
The work OF women in whatever con-
Germs the home or the state Is justified

ment. and at the present time Is made
necessary by current political condl-
tons.
Reform movements. which have cryS-
tslizea into party action, have always

ACCURATELY DESCRIBED.
A Democrats Opinion of Boss Wallis Or.

The printers who were driven out of
the office of Chairman Wallis newspa-
per in Milwaukee have set forth their
grievances in a circular letter. This Is
the same official organ that has been
shedding crocodile tears over Carne-
gie's treatment of the Homestead
workmen. 1t is the same Boss" Wall
organ that has affected so much inter-
est on the Lutheran school question. 1t
is the same living organ that recently
published mass of falsehood, pre-
tending to be a special from Madison,
the shallow purpose of which was to
cause disturbance among the printers
in the Democrat office. 1t is the same
official organ that draws, through spe-
cial favorite legislation, from the state
treasury 81 GOO Il year for official pub
lications that decent newspapers
would gladly publish for $500 a
year. tits the same pTatical sheet that
secured through Chairman Wall a
special act from the last legislature
through which it levies S4 800 a year up
on the insurance business of this state.
1t Is the same unprinclpled organ that
publishes the cuts of state and local
Democratic politicians, then repeatedly
sends bills 10 the victims for such sums
the same characterless, slanderous, dis
reputable, toll-levying official organ that
Chairman Wall boasts gave up its coll
umns to his use in the campaign of 1890,
the consideration of which was doubt
less the legislation that authorizes its
leVles upon the state treasury and
private industries. Ii is the same
shameless organ that continually prates
OF Its large circulation, while. it really
exists by vile levies upon the state,
private business, party politicians and
printers.
1t is easy to believe what the printers
say of it. 1t is without honor, without
decency, without truth and without
shame. 1t is Boss" Wallis official
organ. Not satisfied with special and
venal legislation through which it OBJ
tains, for almost no service, some Sl2,-
600 year, it fills its dirty columns with
woodcut daubs of the leading Demo-
Gratis of the state, and charges them for
it, but refuses to pay the printer for in
sertng the cuts. Such is Chairman

'ladies' night banquet, April % last,
Providence there being no hall in
PaWtucket large enough to accommo-
date the gatnering). The feast was
elegant, the company of ladies and
gentlemen fine, and among other Re-
publicans, Mrs. J. Ellen Foster had ac-
cepted an invitation tn be present ana
respond to the toast-''The Influence of
Nomen in American Politics"
The RESPONSE TO her outline Of the
possible work OF Republican women
led to the holding of meeting for
organization. This meeting was called
TO order By Gen. Chase member of the
National Committee), and was presided
over by His t,xcellency, Gov. Ladd. The
president of the State League, and Il
few invited gentlemen were also pres
ent.
These gentlemen gave official en-
doisement to the meeting, which re-
suited IN a state organization Of about
800 women, with a plan adopted for the
forming of local associations. These
ladies had received their cards of invi-
taton and admission from the gentle
men of the various Republican cltibs of
the state, and were, therefore, a care
fully selected company. \ Rhode lsl
and Womans Republican Association
was formed which has already begun
the work Of local organization.
The outline of the work already done
is given as indicative of what may be
accomplished in other states through
the same or similar methods.
Ladies are carefully instructed that
their organization is for straight Repub-
ican work; it is especially stated ut or
ganiZation that 1T IS contrary to the de-
sign of the movement to attempt any
diversion of the organizations work or
influence TO reform movements Pro-
hibitun or Woman Suffrage.
Mrs. Foster expects to visit amt or
ganize in all the Northern states during
the summer months. She desires the
cooperation and support of the Repub-
lican voters throughout the country.
The Republican party IS party OF
action. Its breath is progress. Its
speech is the language OF the world,
and its dialect the rhetoric OF the home
and the shop. Its shibboieths might
be written on the white walls of any
church Il holds within its ranks the
armies Of ali reforms. 1t studies po-
litical conditions, weighs popular scnt-
ment and se.Ze5 the earliest hour to
crystalize that sentiment into wise leg
islatIon. Its heroic constituencies are
the thinking, moving vital elements of
American life.
Is it any wonder that women rally to
the support of such party?
