Indians can be sued IN the state
courts. is the gist Of decision Of the
wisconsin supreme court In the case OF
W. H. Stacy against Thomas La Belle
q member Of the Menominee tribe, who
had contracted debt with an Indian
trader. II has always been accepted as
law in Wisconsin that Indians could
not be sued In the state courts Tor
debts, and In this case the trial court
60 decided, and refused to give Stacy
Judgment The supreme court holds'
however, that the provisions OF the
federal constitution do not give the
federal government exclusive turisdic-
ton over business agreements between
Indians and white men, and such con-
tracts may be sued on In the stats
courts.

surface Of things, and the real truth
escapes them. New York society is
filled with romance and sentiment, and
money and fashion are secondary
things many times. The reason I say
this at this time Is because Of the ro-
nance Of Duncan Elliott and his wife.
which is sad and touching as a play or
q novel. Everybody remembers the
beautiful Sale Hargous. who was the
feted belle Of Newport and New York
for two seasons, and who, seven years
ago, was married with much ado to
Duncan Elliott, the blond swell, who
was In the swim Of the 400, but who
only had a clerks position and salary
Of $14 week. The pretty Sallie had
q fat fortune, and Duncan was allowed
to give up his clerkship and be easy as
soon as the wedding bells ceased ring
ing. Everybody said 1t was a beauti-
full match, the dark rich loneliness Of
the Mexican girl making a stunning
show against her husbands fair beau
ty and his superb figure. 1t was de-
clared to be q love match, which was
easy to believe when one looked at
them. When they returned from their
wedding journey they set up an estab-
lishment in New York, and the society
columns reeked with their doings.
Their position was envied, and three
years ago they built themselves
grand manor house at Westchester.
and were leaders in that smart colony.
One year later came the first chapter in
the sad story Of the Duncan Elliotts,
which is so soon to end In the divorce
courts. That was the burning Of the
manor house.
her two beautiful little children, and
was badly burned in doing so. Then
everybody commenced to ask where Mr..
Elliott was; some thought he had per-
ished In the flames, but II afterward
turned out that he was at the house Of
q certain lady of the 400, while Mrs.
Elliott had supposed him in his room.
Had the fire never occurred Mr.. FL
lott would never have had to account
for himself, and the divorce courts
would have been cheated out Of q case.
But 1t has since proved that not one
woman alone will figure In the case, but
many, for the handsome Duncan was
fond Of fair ladies to an alarming de-
gree, and although sincerely fond Of
his beautiful wife, he liked variety and
numbers, and there had to be an end
some time. Mrs. Elliott has now left
her husbands roof and Is with her sis
ter, Mrs. De Forrest. Her fortune is
gone, for she gave 1t freely to her hand
some husband, and he spent 1t to please
his fancy. When Duncan realized that
his wife had really left him, he was
dazed. II came like q blow, and all at
once, for Mrs. Elliott bore In silence
and never nagged, although her heart
was breaking, and other women were
taking the attention Of her husband.
The man realizes what he has lost, and
he Is sad and crushed. Everybody for
days turned the cold shoulder upon
him, at the clubs. the men were not
cordial. for the sympathy was all with
the wife. And now the romance has
depened by Duncan Eliott's enlisting
as q common soldier. The men are
kinder towards him now, and the
women ready to weep on his neck But
he wants nothing of this. He Is q
changed man, sobered, disillusioned.
He Is bowed IN spirit at the realization
Of what he has lost. and has learned

tating "The Post" in typographical

sec this, and will endeavor to set a

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as money
Of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue Of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half. and beggared millions.
There is no authority Of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and q
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth

The Schesl journal tells how one grad
nate looks at the University He sees
some things to criticise.


The West Virginia School Jour
nal in it's last issue takes strong
ground against the employment of
graduates from other institutions as
fellows 1t thinks and thinks right
~ that such encouragement should
go to our ewu boys and girls. When
we have grown older and stronger
then we can afford to go outside OF
the state for fellows Until then we
owe it to our own flesh and blood to
stay at home.
The efforts to make the Uni
versity the competitor of larger and
ADLER institutions and the attendant
enormous expense is not endorsed.
1t is pointed out that there is going
to be great kick when the legisla-
ture meets and that they are not
likely to look very favorably on some
of the things which have been done.
No matter how badly they may be
needed and no matter how much ar
gumennt there may be for some Of
the moves made the Legislature il
going to sit down hard on them.
