Is TROUBLE AHEAD.
RHusIkwaki Indian outrage Way Have a
SEQUEL.

Sequel.
Cedar Rapids, Jan. 26.-Unless all
signs fail the now celebrated habeas
corpus case of Lelah-puc-a-che, the
Musllwalki Indian woman who was torn
from her husbands side last December
by the agent of the reservation and
placed in the school at Toledo against
her will, was but the opening in a legal
campaign that will attract attention
from one side of this country to the
other, settling a precedent in districts
where the red man has a habitation
and reading like novel of another age
to those who know nothing of Indian
affairs. The legal proceedings which
pit is intimated will soon be brought will
be filed in the federal court in this
city and will also be tried here. The
Indians have practically employed
counsel. it is said, and are arranging
their affairs so that they will be in a
position to push the cases to the end.
When these eases are finally determine
ed the Indian will know what his
rights are and under whose immediate
supervision and control he is, what
laws he is amenable to and whether he
must give up his family against his
own will and at the dictation of some
paid representative of the federal gov
ernment who is trying to run things to
suit himself, without comforting with
the department at Washington.
1t will be remembered that in the
case mentioned above the young In.
dian wife was released by Judge U. Z.
Shiras of the federal court, who Incl
dentally took occasion to inform GER
tain parties that he would personally
interpret the laws for the Muskwaki
Indians and that they had better keep
their hands off.

after the nomination for congress from
the Fourth district, to succeed Con-

ing of editors here is said to have pre-
pared to launch Blythe's boom spon-

Probably the most costly table" in
the world is that at the Russian I'm
perial Court, where fabulous sums
are often expended on after-dinner
delicacies. Wines costing 500 a bot
tie and cigars of equal value find their
way every day to the table of the
Gear whose order is that a bottle of
wine, no matter how costly, shall
never be put on the same table twice.
Extravaganza OF this nature Is not
countenanced by Queen Victoria. The
Emperor of Austria's chef estimates
the cost Of desserts for the royal table
at over 100000 per annum, and the
total table expenditure at over $780,
000 The remnants of wines and edi-
bles are sold to leading Vienna res
taurateurs. and the proceeds go to
augment the salaries Of the kitchen
personnel, whose incomes by this
means are often trebled and doubled.
At the Spanish and Italian courts the
expenses for desserts are now reduced
to a minimum, but probably nine peo-
ole out of ten would not complain II
this minimum were their maximum.

smooth, fair exterior OF the happy
lover.

too much going on-and he stood
there, the tears chasing each other
down his face, and every now and
then a great sob convulsing his
strong chest.
When at last the family remem-
