cision handed down by the United

court is that the band has no right to
make any contract whatever without the

pressly held that the members of the
Eastern Band were citizens Of North

MR.. PEFFER'S WAY OUT.
His Plan for Preventing Strikes and
Bloodshed in the Coal Regions.

Ex-senator W. A. PETER says of the re-
cent shooting of miners in Pennsyl-
vania:
without stopping now to inquire what
who was Immediately responsible for
this horrible slaughter, it is safe to as
sert that it is the legitimate outgrowth
of our present system of private monop-
oily of the essentials of subsistence. A
few men, perhaps less than one hundred,
own all the lands on which the great coal
mines in Pennsylvania are situated. These
men are rich and powerful, while the men
who actually mine the coal number many
thousand, not one in a hundred of them
owning the cabin he lives in, and none of
them getting wages sufficient to decently
clothe, shelter and feed them. They de-
mand fair wages, and being denied
stop work, expecting in that way to Sc
cure better pay for their labor. The owns
ers can wait and let the strike expend it
self through poverty. In desperation the
men move about from place to place and
try, by inducing other to quit work, to
make the strike general. Writs of in
junction are issued. sheriffs appoint dep
uties and arm them and-blood is shed.
mo matter what else happens, the
owners and operators always come out

if or the general that is in command, the

conditions will grow worse and worse I'M
til the people in self-defense compel con-
gress to provide for government owner

man or company ought to be permitted to

and strikes and poverty among coal min
ers would be gone forever"

ALL SORTS OF BONES
Are Brought Into the Luetgert Trial
by the Defense

Chicago, Sept. T.-When the trial OF
Adolph L. Luetgert opened today the cross
examination of Prof. Dorsey was resum-
ed. He was questioned to the COM
parative nature of the sesamoid and fe-
muir bones of a calf, a sheep and a hui
man being. His answers were technical
and adroit, but of a character that sup
ported his original identificat ton and tes-
timony with reference to the bones in
evidence.
There is said to be difference between
Luetgert's counsel with reference to the
defendant taking the witness stand in his
own behalf. Attorney Vincent is not in
clined to permit Luetgert to do At
torney Phalen believes the sausage
maker should tell his story to the jury.
Luetgert himself is quite determined to
go upon the witness stand. He not only
desires to tell his story. but he also wants
to address the jury. In all likelihood he
will testify. States Attorney Deenan
hoped this morning to rest his case to-
day 81 have only two more witnesses, -
said the states attorney. 'They are
Frank Bialk and Frank Odorofsky. BY
them l. shall show the motive for the
crime. namely, Luetgerts infatuation for
Mary Simmering.''
Captain Schuettler was called to the
witness stand to testify as to collateral
facts.
During the closing session of court po-
licemen were called to the witness stand
to identify and describe where they found
the various exhibits which have figured
in the trial up to date When evidence
to show the motive for the crime has
been completed the state will rest.

ARAIN OF TICKS
Produced by the Application of New
Cure for Texas Fever

Denver, Col, Sept. 1S-After many
| months of effort and repeated expert
ments a cure for cattle fever has been
found. DR.. v. A. Norgaard of this city
is the discoverer. Solution after solution
was tried by him in the effort to find one
that would be effectuaI and cheap,
well immediate in its results. The
plan of dealing with the fever is primari
ly to exterminate the insect known as
the tick which abounds on fever cattle
and through the means of which the dis
ease is communicated. To do this the
cattle forced to swim through a solu-
ton in a vat. What the solution is, is
not known at this time, but crude petro-
leum is used.
When the successful experiment was
tried q head of very ''ticky'' cattle were
forced to swim through the solution, and
it was noticed that while standing on the
drip board there almost a perfect
rain of ticks falling off the cattle They
We're put into special pen and the next
day, just II hours after the experiment
was tried, a rigid examinat ton was prose-
cuted and the examiners failed to find
single live tick in the whole herd. There
was damage done the eyes or skin of
the cattle dipped and not a single bad
effect resulted from the dipping.
If the new remedy proves to do all that
it is claimed it can do, the cattle market
will experience revolution and about
100000 head of cattle will be shipped north
each year during the now prohibited sea-
son, which extends from February Is to
November Is The fever line" from be-
yond the limits of which no cattle can
be shipped to the north during the pro-
hibited period it now stands, stretches
from ocean to ocean and Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas, Indian Territory, Arkan-
sas, Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia. part
of West Virginia and Louisiana form the
district affected.
State Veterinarian Grosswell is very
much pleased with the results of DR.. Vor-
guards experiments and says that with
out doubt the long sought for remedy has
been found.
A meeting of all states and territories
that handle cattle has been called at Fort
Worth on September q, and at this meet
ing it is expected that the scheme
of dipping cattle will be shown and
should it prove a success there many of
the states will be ready to so modify
their laws that the cattle of the south
can enter the northern markets.

VALENCIA'S NAME.
How the Shawnee County Village
Came to be Christened.

Frank frey of Los Angeles, Califor-
MIA, who is visiting in Topeka is the
man who named the town of Valencia
which is situated in Shawnee county,
twelve miles west of Topeka on the
Rock Island.
Mr.. frey told a Journal reporter how
the town got its name. 1t is not named
for the old town of Valencia, in Spain,
as many suppose.
when we were about to get the post
office said he, the question of a name
came up. L. T. Yount was there and
he and 1 talked the matter over. We
decided that it should be something
a little out of the ordinary and not
named for anyone. Finally I thought
about the old mills in Maryland. We
called them the Valencia Mills and
1 thought Valencia would be about
right I told Mr.. Yount so and he
agreed with me and the postoffice be-
came Valencia and has been that ever
Since.''
When the Rock Island built it's roa d

the station was made Mineola, but it
was finally changed to correspond with
that of the pOStoffice

COLORED MEN PROTEST.
No Longer are They to be Used as a
Political Football

Baltimore, Sept. 1S.-The disaffection
among the colOred Republicans is
breaking out in different parts of the
state.
A movement is being organized ON the
Eastern Shore which the white leaders
are trying hard to suppress. Even the
colored leaders have difficulty in keep
ing their people in line. The independ-
ent colored Republicans of Baltimore
county have decided to place a county
ticket in the field.
At meeting of the white and col
ored Republican leaders of Baltimore
city, the negroes were informed that on
account of the opposition in the coun-
ties against negro candidates for the
legislature, it would be impolitic to
place them on the tickets in the three
legislative districts in this city.
The negroes of course, had to accept
the ultimatum, but there is no doubt
that hundreds of them will bolt the
ticket,
