CHEswoLD, Feb. 5.-Sickness con-
tinues with us unabated and it is said
that Cheswold has never been stricken
as now with sick people. Besides
colds, grip &C., usual at midwinter,
measles, which made a start three
weeks since is making almost clean
sweep of town and vicinity. There is
said to be about % or thirty cases but
there have been no fatal or serious
cases as yet.
Our schools have closed on account OF
the epidemic of measles among us.
Mr.. Smith, commissioned by the
government to lay out the free dellv
ery mail routes through Kent county,
visited our post Office last week with
the view of ascertaining its amount OF
business and surroundings. 1t Is
said he found the business and lmpor-
tance of this office exceeded antlclpa-
ton and will doubtless be retained as
centre. There are a great many con-
lectures as to whose head will come of
among the country offices; even Leip-
sic. a considerable town is classed
among these to he beheaded. Certain
it is. a revolution of postal facilities
is about to be inaugurated in this
county. and our Cheswold people are
watching with interest the general
outcome. Mail boxes at three dollars
with lock and key or at two and a
half without are being offered along
the route.
A shooting match for poultry came
off at Cheswold last Saturday which
drew quite a gathering, among them a
large number of contestants.

EXCITEMENT AT DELAWARE,
February Issue Of college Review" Burned
on Campus.

There was some excitement among
the students of Delaware College Fri
day. The February number of the
College Review contained an article
against the college, rejecting on the
dormatories, and giving reasons why
the institution should be moved to Will

the article. The editor in chief, Henry
McComb, was called before that body
and asked to read the article. He read
it. Then the students gathered all the
Reviews in sight and burned them on

man Of today has just as much chance ot
gaining success in the future as had the
man who lived fifty years ago. The world

The boy Of today has little to fear that
the field is becoming overcrowdcd IN our
own country. II is just .~inS oIeucd. Tho
only thing that will be a menace to his
progress will be climatic conditions; for,
with the growth Of time. the country must
expand from it's temperate sections to those
of the Arctic regions There are some who
say that. year by year. the tcrrors OF the
north gradually diminish, that the old
world is passing through a certain cycle.

to that are far more favorable than they

Louis New Orleans, Latonia, Tanforan.
Memphis and Louisville tracks will with
draw from the present Turf congress and
organize "A new body similar to the eastern
jockey club" said a prominent delegate to
the session of the Turf congress, held here
today. This will mean the dissolution Of
the present turf congress, the throwing
out of the smaller southern tracks and the
organization of a strong western body,
with a board of stewards that will be cx-
tremely powerful in turf matters"
This combination includes the big tracks
of the west. with the exception of little
Rock. few small southern tracks, oak
land and Ingleside. the latter of which has
not been I'm operation this season. These
tracks will be provided for, however II the
present plans carry. The smaller tracks
powerful combine. Any track not so IL
body, II IL goes through, will be named the
Western Jockey club and will fix all racing
dates.
Colonel F. NJ. Apperson of Little Rock,
in speaking of the contemplted change.
said: "rhe Turf congress will not dissolve.
1t will go on as before. The clubs which
will remain In It will be the Highland
Park Newport, Nashville and Little Rock.
The object of todays meeting of the Turf
congress-to provide for the division of the
money now In the treasury-was accom-
plished. Each track now In the Turf con-
gress secures $500 This leaves the sum
of $500 in the treasury to cover present
expenses II is said that each of the big
tracks will turn its 50, 900 into the treasury

TO DECIDE WHETHER LO MUST PAY.
Judge Garland Hears Case Involving
Indians' Taxation ExemptiOn.


SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Jan. 16.-(Special)
A hearing was held today before Judge
Garland of The United States court in one
of the most important cases ever tried In
the northwest, that involving the right of
state and county authorities to tax i'm
provements Ipon lands allotted to Indians.
The action was brought for the purpose OF
having this question. which had never be-
fore been taken before state or federal
courts, definitely determined
The suit is entitled the United States
against James A. Rickert, county treasurer
of Roberts county, and was instituted by
w. G. Porter, assistant United States at
wee 20" South Dakota. The county au-
thorties of Roberts county assessed the I'm
I.u, ements of number of Sisseton In
dians, who are a branch of the Sioux tribe,
and as they refused to pay the taxes the
property of some of them was recently
seized by the county authorities, with the
mulated against II.
The contention of the government is that
as the title to the alotments is held in trust
for the Indians by the United states for a
period of twenty-five years and the prop
erty attempted to be taxed was issued Ia
the Indians by the government, the action
of the authorities OF Roberts county was IN
total violation of the statutes of the United
States. The county authorities based their
action upon the ground that as the Indians
enjoy all the rights and privileges of full
fiedged citizens they should be taxed Judge
Carland's decision will be rendered In the
course of a few days.
