In THE Mayorality contest, at
Topeka, the city council is in
structed to make recanvas of
the election returns and issue a
certificate in accord with what
they show. A recount of the
vote will probably be required
before the republicans will give
up that democratic mayor has
been elected.

The Kansas liquor laws make
the state the laughing stalk OF
all other states. Worse, they
make liars and hypocrites, per
jurers; and. sneaks, busybodies
and medlers out. Of people who
ought to be good citizens. Time
and the expenditure OF millions
OF money, has proven that they
cannot be enforced. Political
shysters and consc ienceless
mounte-banks have succeeded
thus far in preventing their re-
peal. Republicans as a party
responsible for the original enact
ment of the prohibitory law
have time and time again
amended, patched up, doctored
and doped the original law in all
conceivable manner; and all
these years they have used it's
provisions to further political
ends. People will you still stand
for such deception and subter-
fuge? Will you still persist in
saying sit is a good thing-keep
it alive?" or will you call a halt,
and say: Enough of this ny
pocracy, enough of this senseless
wrangiing and costly litigation. -
Will you lay party aside and
join with ninety per cent of the
total voting population of Kan
sas in demanding a repeal of the
act which has made our fair
state so ridiculous in the eyes OF
the whole world.

SOME man once said, s'The
best way to get rid OF a bad law
is to enforce it, 1t is a foolish
statement. The best way to get
rid of a bad law is to ignore it.
The Globe objects to prohibition
because it is not a temperance
measure. The best temperance
workers of the country have SO
declared many times. More
than a dozen American states
have tried it, and gotten rid Of
it in disgust. Kansas wants
temperance, peace, progress, dec
ency. Prohibition is a foe to all
these.-Atchison Globe.

MISSOURI liquor dealers have a
lobby, with plenty of money, in
Topeka at every session of the
legislature to prevent a resub-
mission of the prohibition law
to a vote of the people. And
why? Because the Missouri
liquor dealer is after business.
He knows that as long as the
present state of affairs exists
Kansas corn and Kansas barley
will be shipped to Missouri to be
made into liquors, and then
shipped back to Kansas, for
spot cash, to thirsty Kansans.
The railroad and express COM
panies join with the Missouri
liquor dealers, because they get
pay for hauling the stuff
both ways. And, ridiculous as
it may seem, the real, conscien-
tions prohibitionist works just
as hard as do the foreign liquor
men to keep up the present
hiatus in liquor supply and de-
mand.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 1.-THE threat

It is said non-union men from other

BIT IN BED.
A Crazy RattIesnake Bunks With :
: Sheepherder and Gets In it's
Work.

Work.
John Vetge, sheepherder in the
employ of John Solberg of Red Lodge
creek, met with peculiar experience
while in camp last Sunday night, says
the Red Lodge Picket. He retired
early and was awakened from his
slumbers by the sting of snake,
which had crawled into bed while the
sheepherder slept. The snake was a
rattler and Immediately proceeded to
business by sticking its fangs into the
herder's hand. This stinging caress
caused the slumberer to awaken with
start and he Immediately made
tracks for the ranch, some three
miles distant. but was so overcome
from the effect of the poison that he
didn't reach there until o'clock in
the morning, although he left camp
several hours before midnight. Mr..
Solberg brought the herder to town
Monday morning and took him to DR..
Doty's Office, where he was given
antidotes and came near dying, either
from the effects of the bite or the stuff
hypodermically injected into his an
atomy. 1t is stated that the herder
will survive, but that the snake will
doubtless die.

Status Of Half Breed Indian
Children.
70 RIGHT TO LAND
Indian Women Lose Their Tribal Riehts
When They Marry White
Men.

The register and receiver of the
Helena land Office today received no.
tice that the secretary of the interior
had affirmed the decision of the COM
missioner with reference to the claims
of Enuxes and Raland Buchland, half
breed children, to lands filed upon un-
der Indian allOtments Nos. $50 and
207, says the Helena Herald. The de-
cision Of the secretary is decidedly
important one, for although not new
in the principles adhered to, it con-
firms former decisions involving the
rights OF half-breed children.
In the case in point, the two per.
sons claiming lands under allotments
were the children of an Indian wo-
man who married a white man. They
claimed the right, because they were
the children of an Indian woman, to
acquire the lands. The case with 9TH
ers was investigated by a special
agent sent to Montana for that pur.
pose, and did not come before the reg
lister and receiver in Helena. The spe-
cial agent reported directly to the de-
partment.
Commissioner Hermann held that
when the Indian woman married her
white husband, she forfeited her tri-
bal rights, acquiring at the same time
the rights Of her husband, who was q
citizen of the United States. He held
that as the mother had lost her tribal
rights, her children could not inherit
such rights. and that they could not
hold the land. The secretary of the
interior affirms the decision.

WILD NIGHTS IN BUTTE.

Recalled by the Recent Escapade Of
Lady Francis Hope.
The recent escapade of Lady Fran.
els Hope and Captain Strong of the
regular army in San Francisco, which
resulted in the forced resignation of
Strong from his position in the quar-
termaster's department, brings to the
minds of a number of men in Butte
short visit Lady Hope, then plain May
YOhe. made to this city about ten
years ago. She was then a member of
Russell's "City Directory" company.
of which Willie Collier and Charley
Reed were also distinguished mem.
bers. The company was in Butte the
greater part of a week and during the
stay here the leading players met a
number of what were then Butte's
most distinguished sports and high
rollers. Most of these gentlemen are
still in Butte, but they have toned
down a bit since then.
They met the sprightly May and
each We'd with the other in entertain
ing her. The contest narrowed down
to two or three men. and then they
discovered that each could hold his
own very we'll without making any
appreciable effect on May Yohe. The
entertainers decided to combine their
efforts and from then on until the
'Direc. ory" company left the state
there were some of the widest nights
Butte has ever seen. Men who heard,
some who saw, and other who parti-
cipated at different stages of the
game, tell some very thrilling stories
of the time when May Yohe came to
Butte. There were wine suppers,
wine breakfasts and wine luncheons,
and all day and night hilarity. May
Yohe and other members of the CON-
pany were SO highly entertained that
they didn't care whether the show
showed or not, and for several days
the company was in serious danger
of going to pieces in Butte. The
company was finally gotten out of
town. but the bad effects of Butte fol-
lowed it during the remainder of the
season, and there are men now who
feel twinges of an old headache when
they think of that time.-Standard.
