AN IMPORTANT ACT.
Congress Passes a Law Removing
Certain Restrictions on In
dian Allotment.

About year or so ago, certain par
ties in this section of the state inter-
ested in tracts of Winnebago Indian
allotment lands, retained Attorney
w. r. Geddes, of this city, to take the
steps necessary to secure them the
right to alternate or sell these lands,
power they have never had. After
corresponding with both the secretary
of the Interior and Commissioner Of
Indian affairs and getting full his
tory of the legislation etfecting these
lands, Mr.. Geddes solicited the CO.
operation of Congressman McCleary
for the purpose of getting a law en-
acted providing the desired relief.
Mr.. McCleary took hold of the mat
ter in earnest and after several hard
fights in committee he got the bill
through the house, and at the begin
ming of the present session of con-
gress he had it taken up in the sem
ate, and has persued it diligently
there. This afternoon Mr.. Geddes re-
ceived a telegram from Congressman
saying that the measure
passed the senate today, and will be
law in a day or two.
The success of this act brings val
liable relief to many heirs of Indians
who originally got this land in allott-
ment. 1t effects considerable valu-,
able land.

BIG CITIES EDUCATE.
One Must Think Quickly and
Keep His Wits.
Fierce Competition Urges Men
aud Women to Their Utmost.
Nerves and Brain First Give Way Un=
der the Terrific Strain.

Men die in big cities like the trees,
beginning at the top.
1t is appolexy, heart failure, ner-
vous prostration, shock, congestion OF
the brain and suicide that character
ICES the morality lists in the great
centers of population.
A city teaches one to think quickly,
to be always on the alert and quick to
avoid danger, as we'll as to see the
lucky chances. 1t is impossible to go
slowly even if one has no pressing
need for hurry. The rush is conta-
gious. One finds himself drawn along
by the rapidly moving crowds and is
soon hurrying with the rest. 1t is I'M
doubtedly true that two-thirds of all
the men and women one sees tearing
through the streets are in no such &C
tual haste, They are merely victims
of this fearful habit of hurry.
But whether the fearful rush is es-
sential or not, the result is the same.
Ii
and women grow prematurely aged,
times of depression follow the high
strung condition. The entire nervous
system must be rapidly and fully nour,
ished to prevent utter prostration and
collapse. 1t is estimated by physi.
clans that Paines celery compound
4 l. lc l,n,
sands of men and women living in
cities from breaking down under
their work. 1t builds up the sub
stance of the nerves and brain faster
than it is torn down by even such
prodigal waste. 1t cures permanently
all weakness of the stomach, liver and
kidneys, and takes away any tendency
of these vital organs to disease.

THREW HER OUT.
And nrs. Zobel Wants Her Husband
Arrested.

Mrs. Louise Zobel appeared before
County Attorney Benedict this morn
ing and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Frederick Zobel, her hus-
band, whom she charges with assault
in the third degree.
There seems to have been state of
domestic unhappiness in the Zobel
family for some time, for the wife
states that Frederick has beaten her
at various times during the past ten
years.
She stood it heroically, however,
she says, until last night when the
old man came home, threw her out of
the house and she had to go to a
neighbours for shelter.

What the Health Physician Says of
COntagiOn.

%Health Officer Jacoby stated Friday
morning that there is not single
case of contagion in the city and that
the quarantine cards have been taken
down and packed away for future
reference.
There is very little influenza, too,
many of the patients have suddenly
recovered and it is probably too cold
for bacteria to be floating in the air.

A CASE OF 1T.

j. B. McAfee Cites a Single Instance of the
"Fee" Business.
To the Editor of the State journal:
l notice that there are several bills be
fore the legislature looking to the reduc-
ton of fees and salaries of county off,
GERS.
There surely ought to be some amend
ments to the law if it allows such fees as
the following:
The clerk of the district court of
Shawnee county. notified the creditors of
John D. Knox & Co., of the assignment
and for such services the law was con-
strued, and am told correctly. as allow
ing $2.192.70; and for notifying the cred
itors of w. C. Knox So, 40. The cost of
printing 600 copies about $40; postage to
send out 500 copies $40, and about $50
for mailing them; making in all about
$50 in each case.
Surely such law needs amending.
These cases were finally comuromise d
one at $500 and the other at $500.
