PLUTOCRATS.
Usage Indians Live Like Lords
on Their Reservation.
Each Man, Woman and Child in
the Tribe Owns
500 ACRES OF LAND
And Receives 5000 a Year From
the Government.
Their Whole Lives Spent in
Having a Good Time.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE Usage In
dams are probably the wealthiest peO-
pie per capita, on earth, are aristOcrats
and scOrn manual labor, according to
Gen. PollOck's annual report to the in
terror department. They own over 500
acres of land for each man, woman and
child, each receiving an annuity of over
5000 in cash. AS an illustration, if an
Indian and his wife have eight children,
the annual cash income of the family
is over 1000. Rather leading his white
brother in this respect he prefers the
conveniences, luxuries and designations
of village life, to agricultural avocation;
he loves to sing and dance and he has
plenty of money to support his family
in idleness.
Indian Agent Stephens of the Creeks
reports that a serious nuisance and
detriment to progress, to correct which
agents would have to cooperate, is in
tertribal visiting, demOraliZing to the
Indians, encouraging idleness and
nOmadic habits. abandonment of the
crops, reckless distribution of property
as presents and neglect of stock.
Captain Cornish of the Uintah and
Ouray agency in Utah complains in his
report that there never has been any
settlement of the claim on the Uncom-
pahgre, White river and Southern Utes
on account of the cessiOn of about S,000,-
600 acres of land to the United States
under a treaty of 1880, in consideration
of certain benefits. The treaty required
that the land should be subject to cash
entry only and that the proceeds after
reimb urse to the United States for sums
appropriated and set aside in the
Ute act and paying for lands which
might be coded TO the Utes by the
United States to Utes outside of their
reservation at $125 per acre. should be
deposited to their credit in the treasury,
the interest payable to the Utes an
nually with the rest of their annuity
money.
This claim has not been settled and
no statement made as to the amount Of
money collected for this land. The
agent says
1T does not appear that the United
States has ceded them any lands out
side of their reservation; if the late I'm
compa hgre reservation is considered to
have been so coded it has practically
again been absorbed by the United
States. I believe the government has
appropriated from this Colorado land a
large timber reserve for which it seems
to me the Indians are justly entitled to
pay. The matter should be carefully
investigated
The denial of the rights of these In
dams to hunt in their old reservation in
accordance with the Colorado game
laws, is complained of as an injustice
and violation of their treaty rights and
the agent recommends securing through
congress some compensation for loss of
the right.

HE HAD TO MILK THE cow.
Gov. Leedy Tells the Butter Makers
About His DAIRY EXPERIENCE.

There were about one hundred cream
cry men present at the opening session
in representative hall at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. After President
Armstrong had called the assembly to
order, Rev. T. L. Thorpe invoked a di-
vine blessing upon the deliberations OF
the association.
Governor Leedy delivered the address
Of welcome. II am glad to welcome to
the capital city Of the state" he said,
1.-The men who are doing so much to adj
vance the agricultural interests Of
Kansas. / am glad to notice that in re-
cent years the agricultural, as well as
the manufacturing interests of the state
are diVersifying. A few years ago there
was almost a migration from the west
ern part of the state. People who had
gone out there and tried to farm the way
they did in the east, and raise wheat
and corn, made a, failure of it, and ma
ny of them rose up with one accord and
moved away. Those who stayed went
into the cattle business and have made
mony. Now almost every town in the
state has its creamery or Swimming
station.
Il was always rather adverse to dali
rying personally. I didn't like it when
1 was boy. The COW had to milk
wasn't the most docile in the world. So
I came to Kansas to escape from the
business. But last winter there was a
creamery convention here and they told
me there were $50 creameries in Kansas.
I was surprised. I had not supposed
Inefe were more Inan a dozen or SO. 1t
is a good thing for the state, and 1 am
glad to welcome you here"
c. H. PattisOn, formerly of Abilene,
but now of Kansas City, was to have
responded to Governor Leedy, but he
was absent, and F. A. Trip, of Chicago,
was called on in his stead. Mr.. Trip
said:
IF I had known that would have
had to respond to the governor of Kan
SaS I don't know that I should have
been here. But wish to express the
appreciation of the creamery men for
corded US by the governor and the peO-
pie of Topeka Kansas is a regular
snap for the creamery men, and espec-
tally for the supply boys. We take all
we can get from you butter makers,
and you have to make it up off the
farmers, and guess you are doing it. >"
The creamery men come to the con-
vention with a bill for the legislature
to pass. The bill will be for the ex-
clusiOn of butterine from Kansas and
that the people can only eat good butter
made by the Kansas buttermakers.
Among the amusing features of the
contest is the creamery mems Glass;
where a dozen or more bronzed and
sunburned buttermakers stand up like
a, class at school and answer questions
about how to make butter and how to
salt It.

CHASE COUNTY MYSTERY.
Harry .Brandley Arrested the Second
Time Charged With Murder.

Cottonwood Falls, Nov. Hilary
Brandley, son of Captain Brandley,
leading and wealthy citizen of Chase
county has been rearrested. On July
"A, about 10 o'clock p. m, Frank Ray
nard was mysteriously assassinated
near Matf1eld Green. He had been out
visiting on horseback. He came home
and while in the act of hanging up his
saddle in the barn was shot dead. Harry
Brandley was arrested, charged with
murder, and at a preliminary hearing
in Cottonwood Falls was ordered to
Jail without bail by Squire Daniels. A
writ of habeas corpus was sworn out
and a hearing had before Judge W. A.
Randolph, at which his release on bail
was asked. At the hearing there was
not an iOta of evidence against the boy.
On the other hand, it was clearly proven
that he had left the place where the
shooting occurred an hour previous to
the tragedy, and at the time the shot
was heard was at home in bed.
Judge Randolph ordered the prisoner
released, and expressed establishment
that even a warrant had been issued,
inasmuch as there was an entire lack
of evidence duplicating the prisoner.

CONSOLIDATE AT WICHITA
Missouri Pacific May Unite Ell Dora

Presented by a phenomenal cast Of Coined

Wichita, Nov. 1.-THE rumor is cur
rent in Wichita now that the Missouri
Pacific shops are to be moved here from
FL Dorado and Conway Springs
One of the local officials here when
asked about it yesterday, said:
7 couldn't tell you anything about it,
but we need the shops here. One of the
divisions is located at Conway Springs,
twenty-seven miles southwest of Wich-
tia, and the other at Ell Dorado, thirty
one miles east. Now it stands to rea-
son that if the company could get these
shops already only only sixty miles
apart, together in Wichita, it would
be a great saving in many ways. The
matter has been talked of several times
but I couldn't tell you whether a move
is contemplated or not"
All the officials when asked, denied
knowing anything of the matter. but it
is known that for the last eight months
the company has been bringing two or
three employees at a time here from Con-
way and FL Dorado both. It is the gen
eraI opinion that the Missouri Pacific
will gradually concentrate the two di-
vision forces here.

A BIG JUDGMENT.
Claim of $17, 1853, 162 Secured Against
the Frisco.

st. Louis, Nov 1.-THE largest judg-
ment ever entered in the United States
district court here has been handed
down by Judge Adams The case was
that of the Mercantile Trust company of
New York, trustee for bondholders,
against the St. Louis & San Francisco
Railway company. The amount was $17,-
659, 1852.
The entry was purely a formal mat
ter, it being simply a deficiency judg-
ment and was merely to complete legal
proceedings in the sale of the road. The
Frisco road has sold at auction over
two years ago under a foreclosure sale
and the amount of the judgment is the
difference between the proceeds of the
sale and the face value of the bonds
held by the foreclosing parties.
