A SALE AVAILS NAUGHT.
The Nation and not an Indi-
viduaI is the Owner.

In the United States court for the
Northern district of the Indian
Territory, sitting at Ninita, Jan.
uary term. 1899.
Charles Brown nd Ben Gaus,
Plaintiffs, vs.. William January,
Josephine January, et al, No. l6I
On the demurrer to the answer
of VIM. 4. January and Josephine
January, and W. A. Fisk, who has
been made a party.
Springer, Judge.-Ihcre are two
questions, | believe, raised in ;Ais
demurrer that have not been pass
ed upon in other cases pending I'D
this court.
First. The first question not
raised in other cases is that by the
answer in this case il is alleged
that the plaintiff Ben Gaus is q
person, and for the pur-
pose of this demurrer that alleg8-
ton must be taken as admitted.
On this ground the defendants in
sist that the demurrer should be
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1899-03-30

don't know whether it Is necessary
to make the statements or not: |
know that there has been a great
deal of bad blood aud feeling man
ifested on this subject by many
persons in the Indian Territory.
| want to say, however, as a mat
ter caution, that this law will not
be enforced in any spirit or op-
preston. 1t will be the duty of
the officers of the court to execute
this law in the spirit of
humanity and kindness, not
with harshness or oppression.
And while it is the duty of the Of
ficers to do so, it is the duty of the
persons in possession of this land
to surrender il in the same spirit.
Those who stand in the way of
these officers and defy their author
itv, or undertake to resist the pro-
cess of this court, Will render
themselves liable to severe penal
ties. They must go cheerfully and
as good citizens. They have
fought a long and protracted bat
tie, and the courts have at last de-
cided against their contention 1t
is now their duty as good citizens
to 20 in peace. If they do not
they will only bring disaster and
calamity upon themselves. There
is behind this court all the powers
of the greatest government in the
world, and nobody can stand in
the way of its officers, or resist its
process. The law must be enfor-
ced. and those who are made the
object of these processes must ac-
cept the result cheerfully and
promptly, otherwise they Will add
to their distress more than they
have ever anticipated.
The motion, therefore, fled by
the plaintiff to suppress this super
sedeas bond Is allowed. and the /
clerk, on the demand of the aitor /
ney for the plaintiff. or of the /
plaintiff himself, will issue an ex- T
ecution for the immediate reslitu-
tion of the premises involved in
this suit.

overruled. The amended COM
plant to which the answer has
been flee is the one in which
the Cherokee nation appears and
is made a party plaintiff, and then
The complaint proceeds by stating:
"comes now the plaintiffs and
complain" etc. So that, if it
sould appear that Ben Gaus, is a
fictitious person, the only party in
interest in the Cherokee nation,
and the question then would be as
TO whether if that should be fact
uader the evidence, the Cherokee
nation would have the right to re-
cover. l am of the opinion that if
there were no plaintiff other than
the Cherokee nation, the nation
would have the right to recover,
all other things being established
necessary. In other words, il
there is no other plaintiff heEe ex-
cept the Cherokee nation, that is
enough upon which to base a cause
of action. Therefore, this ground
OF objection is not well taken.
l believe there is another objec-
ton as to the irregularity of the
bidding at the sale as to whom the
sale was made by the sheriff. |
think the opinion of the court in
other cases has sufficiently ex-
planned the matter, and that the
opinion goes to the effect that this
is a defect, If it be one of which
the defendant in this case cannot
take advantage. The only point
made by the defendants in this
case which requires consideration
l., that under section four of the
Curtis bill, these defendants had
the right to dispose of their i'm
provemeuts prior to December 81,
1898, and having alleged in their
answer that they had so disposed
of them. that the the title went to
their vendee, w. A. Fisk, who
would therefore De entitled to the
premises in controversy.
Section 4 OF the Curtis act Is as
follows:
Sec /. That all persons who /
have heretofore made improve
ments on lands belonging to any
one of the said tribes of Indians,
claiming rights of citizenship,
whose claims have been decided
under the act OF con-
gress approved June 10, 1896,

ii and including December 81,
1898, and may prior to that time
veil OF dispose OF the same to any
member of the tribe owning the
and who desires to take the same

J proviSo then follows.

No. 791.
STATEMENT.
This is an action of ejectment
brought by the plaintiff against the
defendants. 1t was tried by a jury
and verdict was rendered by the
jury tor the plaintiff for the pos
session of the premises, and for
damages amounting to 500. A
motion for a new trial was filed
and overruled, and q judgment was
entered upon the verdict for the
possession of the premises and for
damages. The defendants except
ed and prayed an appeal TO the
United States court Of appeals for
the Indian Territory. The appeal
was granted and the defendants
were allowed sixty days in which
to prepare, present and file a bill
of exceptions. ThereupOn the de-
PENDANTS flied with the clerk of
this court a supersedeas bond for
the purpose of staying the writ of
restitution until the court Of ap-
peals shall have finally passed up
on the right of plaintiff to the pos
session of the premises. The
plaintiff, by his attorney, now files
a motion to suppress that superse-
deas bond and for immediate exc
cution, to place the plaintiff IN pos
session of the premises.
OPINION.
Springer, Judge. This motion
involves the question as to whether
in cases of this kind the
Judgment for restitution may
be superseded or held in abey-
ance and the parties-defendant
allowed to remain in possession OF
the premises until the courts of
appeals have finally determined
the rights CT the parties in the
premises.
In order to understand the cues
ton involved fully It is necessary |
to review, to some extent, the leg !
islation of congress upon this sub
ject. Chief Justice fancy Of the
supreme court of the United States
in the case of Aldridge VS.. Viii |
liams, reported in the 5 How,
page 8, said in that case, that the
court would not consider the mo-
tiYes or reasons or opinions ex-
pressed by individual members of
congress in debate in order to en-
able the court to properly construe
a statute, but that the court would
look, if necessary, 20 the public
history of the times In which il
was passed. As in that case, so in
this. 1t is necessary for The court
to look at the public history of the
times in order to determine the in
tention of congress in passing the
legislation upon which this mo-
ton depends.

SNAKE BRACELET THE LATEST
Reptilian Ornament Introduced by
Society Woman Promises to Be-
come Popular End.

Many years have elapsed since the
snake bracelet first wound its sinu
Gus way into popularity, but the SER
pent armlet which a New York society
woman has introduced, is a brand new
article, and already promises TO become
popular fad.
This unique reptilian ornament
twines in six clinging coils about the
bare left arm of the wearer between
the shoulder and elbow.
Cleopatra would have died with envy
had she beheld this fascinating yet re-
pulsive bauble upon the arm of rival.
The snake is made of soft, tawny gold,
with jewel-incrusted scales. The head
is mass of jewels, with ruby eyes, dia-
mond forked tongue, and arched neck
respondent in notified spots composed
of sapphires, rubies, diamonds, tur-
quoises, amethysts and beryls.
The serpent is a gorgeous, glittering,
evil-looking jewel, which fascinates So
ciety.

SOLVES SERVANT PROBLEM
Why wealthy Retired Merchant Ac-
cepted designations of
His Force.

Augustus Knight, a wealthy retired
merchant of st. Louis, has solved one
phase of the servant girl problem. He
has been a widower for IS years, and
his children, all grown up, welcomed
his marriage, few days ago, to an
cstimable woman, also of st. Louis.
He neglected, however, to secure the
consent of the servants of his house
hold, and when their new mistress was
introduced they retreated to the
Kitchen to caucus. They passed reso-
utions condemning the course of Mr..
knight, and rendered their resigna-
tons. They felt that they had been
sighted in not having been informed
of his having fallen in love. They
"whereased" that he had done SO with
out their knowledge or consent, and,
in order to administer fitting rebuke,
they resolved" that the preservation of
their self-respect compelled their res
ignation from his employ.
Mrs. Knight wanted to temporize, but
Mr.. Knight would not. He accepted
their designations, and a new corps of
servants has been installed. At an
lat home" Mr.. Knight announced that
he had solved the servant girl problem.

oUTDoES EDISON
Young Chicaro inventor Succeeds in
Perfecang the Tnii<inG
Machine.

A Chicago man has given a pointer
TO Edison on talking machines. For
years the photograph has been the
great wizards pet. He has spent all
his spare time in vain attempts TO elm
mate the metallic, rasping quality of
its tones. Leon +. Douglass, a young
Chicagoan, who looks about 20 years
old, has succeeded in doing this by
remarkably simple invention.
Il worked for something like ten
years on it, and tried hundred COM
plicated arrangements, and then
very easy solution of the difficulty oc-
Cured to me-" said Mr.. Douglass.
He has enlarged the cylinder, or
record" of the Edison machine five
complished two things-dispensed, in
great measure, with the unnatural and
harsh tone, and increased the volume
of its original strength. The trouble
with the talking machines here
tofore has been that the little ball
which caught in the irregular tone
grooves of the cylinder would touch the
high points and skip the low ones. The
result was like picking out all the thin,
harsh tones of the human voice and
blending them into the photograph
voice. Mr.. Douglass reasoned that by
charging the cylinder the size of all
the points of contact could be proper
tionately enlarged, so that the ball,
in passing over the recorded surface,
would touch each one. The result has
been very satisfactory The machine
repeats words and music quite real
istically, and stands other tests as
well.

Regardless Of Age.

The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, suffering, and deaths than any
other organs of the body.
A majority of the ills affecting people
to-day are traceable to kidney trouble. 1t
pervades all classes of society, in all

dition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble are
unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull ache
in the back, desire to urinate often day
or night profuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing
poisoned and germ-filled blood. Some
times the heart acts badly, and tube
casts wasting of the kidneys) are found
in the urine, which NEGLECTED will result
in Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of

DESTROY ALL LIFE.
Tesla Afraid That He Might ignite
the Atmosphere by His
Electric Currents.

In a signed article in the current
number of the Electrical Review Nicola
Tesla describes some of his experiments
in the line of electrical currents of high
voltage, and gives details of the coil
which he used. THE discharges of
such a coil" he adds, ''when of an cleo
tro-motive force of a few millions of
volts, excite powerful aflinities in the
atmospheric nitrogen, causing it to
combine readily with the oxygen and
other elements, particularly in the
presence of aqueous vapor.
$50 energetic are these actions and
so strangely do such powerful dis
charges behave that | have often eX-
perienced fear that the atmosphere
might be ignited, a terrible possibility,
which Sir William Crookes, with his
piercing intellect, has already consid-
cred. Who knows but such a calamity
is possible? And who can tell with
gertrude that periodical cessations of
organic life on the globe might not be
caused by ignition of the air and de-
struction of its DEMONSTRATING quail
ties, accidentally or as a consequence
of some accumulative change? \ lump

in contact with oxygen. but, the COM
bustion once started, the process con-
tinues as long as there are elements to

THE DEADLY VINO"
Alarming Effect of a Native Drink
on Soldiers at Manila.
Investigation shows Ii Ia he Pure
Alcohol Diluted, and Favored
and TiDted-Unfits Sol
diers for Duty.

Among the serious problems con-
fronting Gen. Otis at Manila none has
caused greater agitation, says the New
York Tribune, than the alarming eff
fects produced upon American soldiers,
particularly the enlisted men, by Sc
ductive beverage which they procured
in native shops and which produced
such physical and mental demoraliza-
ton as to give rise to a suspicion that
the army of occupation was being sys-
tematically drugged or poisoned to
render them helpless to resist an in
surgent attack. This native drink was
generally known as vino. 1t was eX-
ceedngly palatable and inexpensive,
but single drink of it untitled soldier
for active duty for the succeeding "a
hours, while frequent potions sent the
soldiers to the hospital for long period
of illness. Gen. Hughes, provost mar
shall general of the city, was requested
TO make an investigation and suggest
n practical course of action. As result
of his investigation he says he finds
there are quite a number of articles
on sale at the wine shops in this city
that are about the same thing. They
are a whitish liquor, unusually favored
and sometimes tinted by some innocent
elements. They are called numerous
names-anisado, vino beno, Scotch
whisky, etc. The base of all of them
is simply alcohol. Commercial alcohol
is manufactured here extensively from
the refuse of sugar houses. 1t is very
pure and strong, and can be sold at
a price far below that at which any
other intoxicating drink can be pro-
duced. The wine vendors take this al
cohol of commerce and dilute it, per-
haps add a cheap flavoring, maybe an
innocent coloring element, and sell it
under any name they see fit to bestow
upon it,
Gen. Hughes does not favor the
sweeping of alcohol from the list of
manufactures in orderto prevent a few
Uncontrolled men from getting drunk"
He favors closing shops where these
strong liquors are sold, and further
says: ''It occurred to me that local
commanders might do much them
selves TO control their men. y plan
which commends itself TO me would be
somewhat as follows:
"Observe the shops in their vicinity
where their men get alcohol and where
they loaf, Declare in orders that such
shops-designati them distinctly
are off bounds of liberty, and by ar
resting and Furnishing these uncon-
4ro1Iad mon for popoonfOrmitV much
of the evil might be dissipated.'

SIEZES A FREIGHT TRAIN.
Tax Collector of southampton, L.. L.,
Levies on a Railroads Rolling
stock for Payment of Taxes.

When the east-bound freight train of
the Long Island railroad drew into the
station at Southampton, l.. l., the other
afternoon all was serene. The local
consignment of freight had been trans
ferred and the engineer was about to
open the throttle and pull out for the
next stop when Edward 7. White, the
town tax collector, appeared on the
scene. He ordered the trainmen to
sidetrack the long line of freight cars.
There was some hesitation, but when
he exhibited his authority and repeat
ed his order it was obeyed. Mr.. White
explained that the Long Island Rail-
road company owed the town two years
railroad taxes and that he had seized
the train as security.

A MARVELLOUS INVENTION.
Test mt London of the Steering of n
Torpedo from Distance
shown to BE Possible.

A dispatch to the New York World
from London says: Akell Orling gave
n private demonstration in London of
his marvellous invention of steering a
torpedo from distance.
The principle of the invention con-
sists in the transmission of motor force
by waves of light similar to the Roent-
gen rays.
In one room Mr.. Orling fixed up a
model of torpedo fitted with a rudder
like fish's tail, controlling it by means
of an apparatus in an adjoining cham
Der through two partition walls be-
tween the two objects.
The spectators were astonished TO see
the rudder of the torpedo turning to the
right or to the left at the will of the
operator.
