Judge Shiras, of the federal court at

to remand the case Of Deere, Wells &
Co. VS.. the Chicago. Milwaukee & st.
Paul railroad company and Section
Foreman Peterson to the state court.
About year ago Peterson started a
fire along the right of way at Council
Bluffs, and, getting beyond his con-
troll, the fire destroyed property TO the
amount of Sl25,OOO. The petition
charges that the section foreman was
engaged in the discharge of a duty for
the company and was negligent. The
Judge says corporation acts through
it's agents, and the negligence of its
agent while acting for the corporation
is the negligence of the corporation.
The question whether the foreman
was negligent will be decided by the
court which tries the case on its
merits.

P. Cuthbertson, while feeding a corn

way caught his arm in the crusher
and before the machine could be stop
ped his arm had been ground through
the powerful rollers to the shoulder
and completely torn from the body.
The large muscles of the shoulder,
back and side were also torn or
crushed off along with the arm. The
shoulder blade was so badly broken
that only small pieces of it could be
found. After pulling him as far into
the machine as possible, the dividing
bar caught him just below the ear and
cut cash in his neck about three
inches deep and four inches long.
The crushing of the large arteries Of
the neck and arm are probably all that
saved him from bleeding to death
before medical aid could be procured.

There is no danger so great for
man or boy as idleness. If mothers
and fathers would save their boys, they
should give them something to do. Buy
an ak and a saw, and let them chop
up that wood, no matter how large
the bank account. Let them keep the
weeds from the garden and the tall
grass from the lawn, the dirt from
their own clothes and the dust from
their own shoes. Don't do everything
for them. 1t pays to teach the boys
worl1-not so much for what they can
do as for what it does for them. If
more boys could have piece of ground,
shop, place of some kind where they
could work off their superfluous energy,
we would hear less of truant and reform
schools. In the matter of reading, too,
if you do not wish the boys to read
worthless books and trashy novels, you
must put into their hands good, we'll
written books, and these not of the dull
type, which will discourage a young
mind.-St Louis Republic.

ADJUSTMENT OF TRIBAL COURTS
Enforcement OF Uncle SANS Order to be
Resisted---PIot to Destroy
Federal Buildings.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-A Washington On
special to the Times-HeralG says:
Trouble in the Indian Territory is ex-
pected by the commissioners of Indian
affairs. and by others who are familiar
with the present condition of things
in that country. On January 1st, the
tribal courts will be abolished by an act
passed at the last session of congress, ,and
the United States court given full juris-
diction over the territory.
In many quarters the officers of the
Indian courts have declared that they
will forcibly resist all efforts to prevent
them from doing business. The United
States marshals have given notice that
any tribal court attenrting to sit, and
those assuming to conduct them will be
arrested.
A delegation of eight Cherokees, seven
of them ull-bloods, Is now in the city.
A few days ago they presented a memo
rial to congress asking that the law be
rescinded, but congress has now ad-
journed without action, and when it
again convenes the Indian courts will be
out OF existence.
Meanwhile the subcommitte of the
senate committee on Indian affairs, ap-
pointed to consider the problems pre-.
sented in the territory, practically de-
cided to recommend an amendment to
the law applying to the apportionment
of all lands held by the five civilized
tribes among the members of these
tribes, and alec an amendment provid-
ing that all valid leases shall be recog-
nized by the government of the United
States and the money paid on account
of them covered into the treasury of the
United States for the benefit of the
various tribes.
The Dawes commission has reported
its failure to come to any conclusion
with the Indians. Such agreements as
have been concluded vary so in their
provisions, that, in view of the fact that
eventually uniform system of govern
ment must be provided for Indian ter
ritory, it is questionable whether any OF
the agreements should be ratified by
congress untilthe desired and necessary
uniformity can be reached.
Secretary Bliss thinks no government
will be satisfactory until congress shall
provide for single uniform system Of
laws for the Indian Territory that shall
place all its inhabitants in possession oi
the rights of American citizenship.

DISEASES OF INFANTS.
Anections Are the Most
Common.

Membraneous Affections Are the Most
Common.
The high mortality among infants
is largely due to the widespread oc-
currence of sinfammations of the mem
.branous. tract, the exact seat of in
fammation varying with the change of
the seasons. In summer the mucous
membrane of the stomach is likely to
be attacked, causing frequent vcmit-
ing, which results in an interference
with the absorption of nourishment;
while a similar Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the intestines
will cause persistent diarrhoea, with a
like result.
/ In cold weather the mucous mem
brane of the nose, throat or lungs
is oftener the seat of the disease.
The skin of infants, too, offers but
feeble resistance to outside influences.
A condition of the blood due to indi-
gestion often gives rise to eczema on
the cheeks, scalp and elsewhere, the
symptoms being roughness, redness
and even n1oisture-weeping- ng-of the
skin. Local irritations, such as mois-
ture, cold, or the rubbing of seams, are
apt to give rise to the state known as
''chafed skin"
This sensitiveness of the infants
skin should be borne in mind, and the
underclothing should be loose, soft,
and frequently changed, while natures
skin-tonic for both infants and adults
the bath-should be daily admins
tered.
In view of the quickness with which
infants become chilled, especially be-
fore the period when they are able to
walk, the garment worn next to the
skin should be invariably of wool,
which material affords the best protec-
tion against too rapid loss of heat.
In summer the garment should be thin
ner, but always of wool. Infants are
rarely bundled up too much, not
withstanding opinions often freely ex-
pressed to the contrary.
The lack of resistance to disease in
infancy which has been noted in con-
nection with. the skin and the mucous
membrane is likewise characteristic of
other organs. The most common age
at which infectious diseases are con-
tracted is in infancy, and in early in
fancy they prove more severe than
with older children and are oftener
fatal.
An impression That 'chlldren'S dis
cases. are better once had and done
with is>entirely at variance with the
observation and judgment of the med
ical profession. The sequence of dis
eases which the physician so often sees
in children, as the result of one of the
contagious diseases needlessly con-
tracted, is lesson which he cannot ig-
more. One disease makes child less
able to battle successfully with an
other which may be contracted before
he is rid of the first. Wise parents
ward off the contagious diseases as
long as possible. Even measles fre-
quertly proves fatal in the young in
FAINT, while in other cases it's evil eff
fects are lasting throughout childhood
