he drank beer because he believed it

CAN'T ARREST INDIANS.
j. j. Hit Says state Officers Can't Arrest
on the Reservation.

j. j. Hit Says State Officers Can't Arrest
on the Reservation.
"All this talk about Sheriff Naylor of
Jackson county arresting Indians on the
reservation for an assault is a mistake"
said United States Land Agent J. ]. Hit
today. "No state officer has a right to
arrest a man for any crime committed on
an Indian reservation. 1t doesn't matter
what it is. The Indian reservation is d.
rectiy and exclusively under control of
the United States and a state officer has
no more jurisdiction there than he has in
France. A murder might be committed
on the reservation; a state officer
might meet the murderer face to face
and would have no power at all to
arrest him. The state officer is himself
a trespasser on the reservation unless he
is there by special permit of the agent
in charge. A United States officer is the
only man who could arrest in that in
stance. This may be new to many peo-
pie. but it ia borne out by several eminent
judicial decisions"
1t is a fact that when the state prohibit
tory law was violated at Fort Leaven-
worth and at the Soldiers home as it is
now at Fort Riley the state authorities
had no right to interfere because it was
done on government land.
According to Mr.. Hit the state militia
would have no right on the reservation
even in the event of an uprising.

ROL. NICHOLS STRIP.
He is Going to Assert His Full
Property Rights
AND BUILD SIDEWALK OUT OF LINE

He Gets Ten Feet of Property in
NOrth Kansas Avenue by Reason of
a zEIstAke in Surveying and Will
Claim It-aainOr City Hall Gossip.
People in North Topeka will be inter-
ested in knowing that Rol. Nichols is
going to build a sidewalk along his
property on Kansas avenue north from
the intersection of Central avenue. They
will be more than interested to learn
that he is going to build it along the out
side of his property which extends ten
feet further into Kansas avenue than any
other property there. This will throw
the line of sidewalk considerably out of
Joint but the dislocation will not bother
Mr. Nichols any.
Years ago when Kansas avenue was
laid out in North Topeka an error was
made which gave Mr.. Nichols a strip of
the earth north from the junction, ten feet
wide by 800 feet long, on the west side
of Kansas avenue. In years gone by, by
special agreement, Mr.. Nichols has per-
mitted his sidewalk to lie on his own
property, to conform with the rest of the
walk.
He tried to get the city to buy the strip,
but asked $1,000, which the city thought
was too much, and the deal was not
made.
Now Mr. Nichols intends to have his
full property rights and put his side
walk in the street. Hence the deformity
that is coming. This will be an attempt
to force the city to clear away the side
walk as an obstruction and thus bring
about test lawsuit

A Most Wonderful Human Being

M. de Quatrefages, the French nat
! uralist, reports the scientific examina-
ton of one of the most remarkable hui
man curiosities or monstrosities known.
The person in question is Simeon All
guire, who lives in one of the French
provincial towns and who has control
over his body to such a remarkable de-
gree that reports concerning his doings
were all discredited up to the time of
the Quatrefages investigation. 1t was
found, as had been reported, that All
guire was not only an adept in the arts
of the contortionist, but that he could,
through his peculiar system of muscles
and nerves, instantly cause his flesh to
appear as if it had been transformed in
to solid stone When in this peculiar
condition, his flesh could be struck with
a cane or with a metal instrument,
whereupon it would give off a ringing
sound as though the blows had fallen
upon marble statue Assuming diff
ferent attitude he would throw his in
testines forward and appear as one
hideously deformed, and the next mo-
ment he could draw them up into the
thorax and appear as living skeleton
His statue pose and contortions were
wonderful indeed, but what most aston
ished the Investigators was Aiguire's
ability to control the circulation of his
blood This he did to the satisfaction
of all present by first stopping all circu-
lation on one side of his body and then
ON the other This he effected by mus

tinction with Sword and Pen.
Boston, Feb. 20.-General John L.
Swift, ex-aeputy collector of customs at
this port died last evening of heart dis
ease. He had been ailing for about two
weeks. The general was Sc years old.
General Swift was native of Falmouth.
he came to Boston at the age of II and
had since resided here. AT first his mind
was turned in the direction of a mercantile
career. but later he took up the study of
law at Harvard, and was admitted to the
bar about 1852 In 1855 he was elected to
the lower branch of the legislature and re-
elected in 1857
Governor Banks appointed him pilot
commissioner in 1858, but he resigned at
the beginning of the war. He was at that
time lieutenant of the battalion known as
the Boston Tigers. He, however, enlisted
early in the rebellion as private in the
Thirty-fifth Massachusetts regiment, was
promoted to sergeantcy, and later was
commissioned lieutenant and sent to re-
cruit company in Roxbury. From that
time his rise was rapid, and few achieved
more brilliant success than he did during
the war.
At the close of the rebellion he was hon.
orably discharged and appointed adjutant
general of Louisiana, but he resigned to
accept the post of naval officer at Boston.
Three times, subsequently, he was ap-
pointed deputy collector at Boston, his
last term ending not long ago, with the
appointment of Collector Warren.
General Swift had done considerable
newspaper work, and was editor of The
State, a weekly newspaper, from 1886 to
1887 AS platform orator General Swift
was particularly we'll known, and had
taken an active part in every campaign
since 1852. He was a member of several
