Chief POkagOn's Book.

One of the most remarkable books OF
recent publication is queen of the
Woods" written by Simon POkagon,
the last chief of the famous Pottawat.
tonne tribe of Indians, settled about
Hartford, Mich. The venerable old
chief died only few weeks after the
work was completed, as if it was the
closing and browning task of his sad
and eventful life. Simon Poksgon was
the same grand old Indian chief who
was the main orator of the day at the
Worlds Fair on Chicago day, and who
was vOuchssfed the honor, on hehalf of
his vanishing race, of ringing for the
first time the new liberty bell. 1t was
Chief Pokagon's father, Leopold Polka
gon, who sold to the United States gov
eminent, for three cents per acre, the
site on which Chicago stands, and on
which the grand fair was held, with all
the vast territory surrounding. But the
money, even at this price, was not paid
in Leopold Pokagon's time, and his son
and successor said sadly, not long be
fore his death, that he has grown old
trying to get the pay for his people. He
visited Abraham Lincoln while presi.
dent of the United States, and smoked
the pipe of peace with Gen. Grant
while president, receiving thanks from
the great white warrior ifor Indian SOL
diers furnished during the rebellion.

The Roberts Committee.

The committee appointed by the
speaker to investigate the case of Rob
erts, the polygamist, who is trying to
break into congress, includes in its
membership Mr.. Lands, the member
from the Ninth district. The commit
tee has held number of meetings, but
so far the meetings have been behind
closed doors and little Is known of the
facts developed. From present indica-
tons the investigation may take wide
scope. for ii the committee should GO
to Utah there is no doubt the inquiry
will embrace the practice of polygsmy
in general and will not be confined to
the individual case of Mr.. Roberts. In
this case the senate will probably also
be called upon to act.

Haggard Has the Tenth.

Indianapolis News says: W. 5. Hsg-
CARDS supporters assert that he has Sc
cured control of the political machinery
in the Tenth congressional district, and
that he will get nearly all of the dele
gates from the different counties IN the
district. The strongest opposition that
Mr.. Haggsrd has, it is asserted, is in
Tippecanoe county, and it is also
asserted that in spite of this opposition
he will get solid delegation from that
county.

SOME LEGAL OPINIONS.
New County Reform Law Construed b,
Attorney General.

New County Reform Law Construed by
Attorney General.
The attorney general has written an
opinion in regard to warrants, orders
and appropriations under the county re-
form law, in which he says the general
theory of the law, is to confine as near
ly as possible, all appropriations ard ex-
penditures of the year to the business
of the year. Furthermore he says, all
unpaid warrants and orders prior to
January need not be reissued, but
must be paid out of an appropriation
made or to be made by the county coun-
Gil for the year in which they are paid,
unless the orders come under some ex-
ceptions mentioned in the law.
The encouragement says, also, that
where the statute has created special
funds for gravel roads, court houses and
the like, the unexpended balance of
such funds will not revert to the gen
eral fund, January |. And if there are
outstanding warrants or orders issued
prior to January, 1900. which with the
current expenses of the county, would
be in excess of the revenues derived
from tax levies, the outstanding war
rants or orders may continue to be
taken up by the issuance of bonds.
County commissioners and auditors,
the attorney general says, should bear
in mind that no loan or current ex-
penses can be made except in spticips-
ton of the revenues of that year.

Money In Raising Small Onions.

During the past year Thomas Lee
west of Warsaw, planted one-tenth of
an acre in small onions for picking pur-
poses on which he sowed ten pounds of
seed costing 81 per pound. According
to the figures rendered by the Cruik.
shank Picking works, Lee received
S108.70 for the onions he raised on the
tenth of an acre. This would net q
profit of S98.60, or at the rate of 1887
per acre. Who can beat 1t?

Whatever the result of the Boer
war may be, Paul Kruger is sure of
place in history. No more strik-
ing figure is now before the world
gaze. He may be uncouth; he GER
tainly is thrifty. But he has quail
ties of greatness, and the world has
become conscious in observing him
that it is looking on one of the
great characters of the century. The
skill and courage of the Boer in
this war cannot fail to win our adj
miration, whatever our sympathies
may be. The leaders of the Boer
armies show themselves to be men
naturally gifted in war. The con-
quest of the Transvaal is no easy
task. The British soldier is finding
the most skillful and determined
enemy he has encountered since the
days of Washington and Yorktown
