THE ACTION OF THE cHERoKEEs
No Official Information Regarding
the Rejection of the Land Treaty.


AT the Interior Department or at the
Bureau of Indian Affairs no official COM
munication has yet been received con-
corning the action of the Cherokee In
dams in refusing to ratify the agreement
arranged by the Dawes Commission for
the allotment of the lands. The proposed
allotment Of lands among the individuals
of the various tribes in the Indian Ter
ritory was to have been the first step to-
ward the abolition of the tribal system,
and the eventual opening of Indian Terri
tory to white settlers. Three of the five
tribes have already given their approval
Of the proposed plan, and it has been an
ticipated by the bureau that the Chero-
kee Nation. the most advanced OF all the
indian tribes of the Territory. would en-

and IT Is believed that the published re-
ports are correct. 1t will not require the
presence in Washington of the Secretary
of the Interior, who is at present with the

The Country Newspaper.

Miss Jennie G.. Keith, president of
the Upper Des Moines Ga Editorial
association and owner and editor of
the Cambridge Dispatch, weekly
paper published in village of 700
inhabitants, has this to say about a
country newspaper:
'The country newspaper has its
numerous and ridiculous side as well
as its serious and sometimes solemn
phase. We have the character that
courts vanity and fiattery simply by
getting the name in print in any
kind OF personal notice. We have
the card of thanks and the obituary
poetry hend always with us. We
have-and may their shadows never
grow less, the good old subscribers,
who always remember us with the
best and earliest garden sass.
The city newspapers are inclined
to ridicule the rural press for its
characteristic chronicling of small
events in frivolous details, but the
city press in it's society notes and
elsewhere gives just as much ground
for criticism. | would rather cater
to the innocent weakness of the kind
ly hearted plain people, than to the
snobbishness of those whom circum-
stances of self assertion may have
made little more prominent than
the masses. =

Lumbermen Invited.

The smallpox situation in this
state is still causing much atten-
ton among doctors and the State
board of health. There will be a
meeting at Madison on August
Is, to which the lumber kings OF
Wisconsin and Minnesota have
been invited. The board Of
health of the state of Minnesota
will also be at the meeting. The
object of the gathering is to con-
slider what steps must be taken
to stamp out the. disease before
winter.
The recent hot weather has
somewhat relieved the situation,
but it is feared that when the
weather becomes cooler there
will be a new out break.
For the week ending July q,
there were 81 smallpox cases in
the state.

Claude Tappin, aged about twenty

while trying to set a brake the chain
broke and he fell beneath the cars
and was literally ground to pieces.
His father was engineer on the train,
and his brother, fireman, and the az
cldent happened before their very
eyes. The tragedy occurred only
short distance from the home of the
young man. The family came here
year or two ago, and made their
home at Sioux River. The remains
were gathered up in sheet and the
undertakers were notified and went
TO Sioux River and prepared the re-
mains for burial

morning, at the home of Rev. J. A.
Wiley, the latter performing the

ding was private one, and only
few of the most intimate friends
were present at the ceremony The
happy young couple left on the noon
train for Ashland, from which place
they went to West Superior for the
purpose Of visiting friends and
spending their honeymoon. After
visiting the head of the lake and
other points they will be at home at
Stevens Point after the fifteenth of
the month. A number of friends of
the young people learning the hour
of their departure were at the depot
and gave them a fitting farewell in
which large quantities of rice played
an important factor. The bride has
lived in this city most Of her life,
and has practically grown up here.
She attended and graduated from
the Washburn High School and lat
ter became teacher in the public
schools and was very successful in
her work. She was universally liked
and respected and all naturally feel
a keen interest in her. That she
has married we'll and has started on
successful life's journey is appar-
ent, although the groom is not very
well known here, yet he spent sever
al weeks in Washburn during the
winter looking after the interests of
the Armour Packing Company, with
whom be holds responsible position
aud is a trusted agent. That the
pathway of their life may be strewn
with blessings and prosperity is the
universal wish of their many friends
and well wishers in this city.

ercises with the various contests
aud the log rolling will no doubt

ing editors and their wives.

THEY STOLE A TEAM
Two Ashland Young Men are Ar
rested.
CHIEF DOWNS TAKES THEM IN
The Young Men are Arrested on the
Steamer Plowboy and will Have
to Answer to the Cha rye of
Horse Stealing.

Chief of Police Downs arrested
Lyle Wilkinson and Hyphen Guyer,
whom he found asleep on the Steam
err Plowboy Monday noon and held
them here until Sheriff Cook came
over from Ashland and took them in
charge. They will have to answer
to the charge of horse stealing. The
sheriff shackled the two men togeth-
er before attempting to take them
to Ashland. Wilkinson and Guyer
are charged with having broken into
j. I. Hanley's sales stables during
Sunday night and stealing a team
and rig valued at $500 They drove
through this city and went to Bay
field where they put the rig in a
stable. Mr. Hanley discovered his
loss early in the morning, and kept
the wires hot in all directions until
the team was located. The men evil
IDENTIFY discovered that the search
was getting pretty hot and started
back to Ashland on the Plowboy.
When the boat arrived here they
were both asleep. Officer Downs
took them in charge and detained
them in the city lookup.
They were arragined in the Mu-
nicipal Court at Ashland Tuesday
morning. The Ashland News says
of the case.
On hearing the charge, young Will
kinson pleaded guilty and was re-
manded to the county jail to await
the reception of his sentence, which
will be administered next fall when
Judge Parish convenes Circuit court.
Guyer pleaded not guilty, saying
that he had nothing to do with the
stealing. The evidence proffered by
Wilkinson goes to prove that Guyer
was with Wilkinson, had full knowI-
edge of what was transpiring and
helped to harness the team. Guyer
is man of about twenty-four years
and resides in the east end of the
city. He is veteran of the Spanish
American war and to date has had a
pretty clean record.
A strong popularity of the case is
the fact That J. I. Hanley, the man
from whom the horses were stolen,
is bondsman for Lyle Wilkinson, who
was arrested sometime since on a
charge of forgery preferred by his
father and who is now pending trial.
The punishment for horse stealing
in Wisconsin is from one to seven
years in the penitentiary, which
takes jurisdiction out of the county
judges court, that official being en-
powered to sentence only in cases
where the sentence is less than five
years.

Wisconsin, a Great Dairy State.

Dunn County News: The magni-
tude of the Dairy interests of Wis
consin is made clear IN the annual
report of the dairy and food com
missioner, Fl. c. Adams, just issued.
The state in 1900 produced $50, OOO,-
900 pounds of butter, valued at $16,-
O0e, 900; 6O,O00.O00 pounds of cheese
valued at $6,OOO,OOO; milk and
cream, So, 400, 900. The Wisconsin
dairy industry, he tells US, is steadi-
Iy improving in character. There
are LOCO creameries in Wisconsin,
more than any other state, and
nearly twice as many cheese fac
tories, says the Milwaukee Free
Press.
But the exports of the dairy pro-
dacts of the country are not increas-
ing. The total value of butter,
cheese and milk exported in 1899
was only 81, 500, 900. while Denmark,
with an area one-fourth as large as
Wisconsin, exports annually butter
valued at 1913, 900, 900. Mr.. Adams
attributes the shrinkage in cur
exports OF butter to the strong local
demand and to the character of a
considerable portion of the product
exported, American olemargarine
being sold in foreign markets as
butter and process butter, melted
and reworked, sold as the best
creamery butter, He approves the
suggestion of the secretary of agri-
culture that there should be COVER
mental inspection of dairy products
intended for export.
The chief, if not the only COM
plant in Wisconsin now is due to
the sales of oleomargarine as butter,
which in spite Of vigilant officers,
continues to be considerable.
