They Cannot Be Sold without the
Governments Consent.

Chamberlain, s. D., Nov. 17,-Com-
missioner Lamoreux, of the general
land Office. has made a decision in q
local case that an Indian can relin=
quish an allotment only by consent
ander the direction of the Indian de-
partment. Until a REIMBURSEMENT is
delivered to the land office it is subject
to withdrawal by the Indian or by the
secretary of the Interior; like a deed
it takes effect only upon delivery, and
like other accomplishments, must be
filed with thu local land office or with
the general land Office to constitute 9
delivery to the proper officers. In the
case at issue it was filed with neither,
and the general land Office had no of
fetal knowledge of the existence Of the
REIMBURSEMENT until over four months

acting secretary Of the anterior, The
commissioner contends that In consent
ing to the REIMBURSEMENT the secretary
acted only as trustee for the Indian,

affairs could only act ia a like capac-
ity; such acts in no way restored said
lands to the public domain.

comnlained of being i'll. He went to
the bath room and, after a pain. SANK

seized with cCnvulSions. lie area De-
fore medical aid could reach him. lie
was in the best of health up TO TWO
hours before his death. DR., NJ II.
Clarke, who was summoned, reIuSeu
to issue a death certificate, ana the
case was reported to the health au-
thorities. They turned i over 70 the
coroner In the meantllne, II. l.
Thomas, an undertaken, was calieu 70
take charge of the body. lie had II re,
moved. and when the coroner arrived
on the scene it was claimed that the
emba Inning fluid had already been IN
iected into the body. Last night Mrs.
Thomas, the wife of the undertaken,
denied that her husband had en-
balmed the body, but would not call
her husband from the poSt-mofteln
which was ordered by the coroner, ana
which was being conducted by Doctors
Washburn and Seifert.
It is reported that Col Engel was
short in his accounts at the brewery.
but this cannot be verified. Manager
Wuesthoff, Of the brewing company,
when asked about the matter, said
that Col Engel was discharged from
their employ on Thursday. In regard
to the rumors of a shortage he would
have nothing to say. He admitted that
an examination of the dead mans
books was now in progress, but did
not think this would indicate there was
any truth in the rumorS about a short
age Health Commissioner Kempster
has issued orders that any undertaken
who embalms a body before a death
certificate is issued by his department
will be prevented from doing business
in the city The undue haste with
which the body was taken to the I'M
dertaking establishment and en-
balmed, and the statement Of Mrs.
Thomas that the body was not EN-
banned, are regarded as suspicious cir
cumstances. The sudden death caused
no little surprise in Kencsha, where he
was held in high esteem, both in BUSH
ness and social circles. Prior to his
coming to Milwaukee he was assistant
cashier of the Dan Head Company
bank at I<enosha.

INDIA's FAMINE,
The Shipment Of American Maize Is
Urged by = Missionary.

London, Nov. II. - A correspondent
telegraphs to the Times frem Allaha-
bad. India, as follows: Distress is
beginning to be felt in the ceded dis
tricts of Madras. Rev. Mr.. Campbell
a British missionary, writes from Cudv
dapen urging the importation of Amer
lean maize which, he says, is half the
price of wheat and would find ready
sale in our up-country villages It is
grown i'll many parts of the ceded dis
tricts and from Its resemblance to
cholam would be preferred TO either
rice or ragi, while it could be sold
much cheaper than any of the Indian
grains. If the government will not
undertake such a work surely there are
merchants in Madras prepared to ben
eft the public with a prospect of a
fair profit Maize would also find a
ready sale in upper India.v
This correspondent also quotes an
article from the Pioneer dealing with
the drouth. It expects a good rainfall
from the latter half of DECEMBER on
ward, but none before that.
