The LEASES. ARE OK.
Surplus Indian Lands on Cheyenne
~ River Can Now Be
Used. &- ~5
Leases Made Last Winter Are Ap-
proved by Secretary )
Hitchcock.

:. Washington, Sept. 4.-Secretary Hitch
cock has settled long controversy over
the leasing Of surplus Indian lands on the
Cheyenne River reservation in South ICi.-
kota by deciding to approve the leases
made last winter. When the proposals
were opened, protests were made against
the leasing of these lands, the allegation
being made that the Indians did not want
to be deprived Of the use of them, and
also that they had been forced to sign
the agreement for leasing
The South Dakota delegation split on
the question, Senator Kittridge favoring
releasing and Representative Burke TAX
ing the position that leasing would pre-
vent the possible cession of the lands to
the government and consequently would
fe1ard development In that portion of the
state.
inspector Mclaughlin was instructed to
make an investigation Of the charges and
his report was submitted a month ago.
He said that he had had several councils
with the Indians and that they were will
ing to have the leases approved, when
it was explained to the 1nthat they would
get considerable revenlve from this source
and would not be deprived Of their own
grazing lands. The leases provide for
fencing the Indians holdings by cattle
ben and otherwise protecting the stock
belonging to the members of the tribe
Recent investigation Of conditions at
Standing Rock by George Byrd Grinnell
developed nothing new and the contro-
versy over the leases on that reservation
has been settled. The Lennon lease was
| approved some time ago and he now has
his cattle on the land The Walker lease
| was abandoned and it has been decided
| not to lease that section 70 the reserva-
| ton.

THE ROOSEVELT . CLUB
Planning for a New Hall-Election
Of Oficers-George X. Belden
Chosen President.

The Roosevelt Marching club, at an en-
thusiastic meeting in Apollo club hall last
evening, decided to ask permission OF
President Roosevelt to act as his escort
upon the occasion Of his visit to Mime
apols this month. The club also decided
to refurbish it's uniforms and enter the
political campaign following the primary
election, to select a permanent hall and to
produce next spring some sort of a play,
probably an opera. The club elected the
following officers:
President, George H. Belden; vice presi-
dent, Karl De Laittre; secretary, c., s.
Gale; treasurer, j. E. Shaw; captain, T
S. Ingersoll; first lieutenant, Roy Pearse;
second lieutenant L. w. Northway; direc-
tors, P. R. Brooks, Eugene Morgan Stew
ems, A. w. Strong; historian, Sewall D
Andrews.
1t was deemed proper to offer the club
as one Of the original Roosevelt clubs, fol
escort for the president from the train tc
such place as the general committee OF
the Employer and Employe convention
shall select. The general committee in.
dorses the proposal President Roosevelt
has a friendly feeling for this club and
will undoubtedly accept the honor.

September ~.

Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont, Sept. 4.-The republican
state central committee decided to hold
the state convention at Great Falls Sept
81. There will be 434 delegates, the basis
of apportionment, being one delegate for
each fifty-hve votes oasttw years ago
for S. G.. Murray for congress-. The
committee recommended that c.. H. Nc
Leod of Missoula be-, appointed national
committeeman for the state to succeed
the late E. L. Bonner.
The political sensation of the hour in
Montana appears to he the manner in
which F.. A. 7Heinze practically captured
the meeting Of the democratic state GEN.
trail committee from w. A. Clark and die
tated it's proceedings. The Clark people
are very indignant towards Governor Toole
in attending the meeting upon the proxy
of ]. J. Knowlton of Silver Bow, an en-
ploye of Clark, who is alleged to have sur
rendered his proxy for the promise Of a
permanent position with Heinze.

PERILOUS OCCUPATIONS
How Some People Work With Death Constant Menace and
+ Others Lives Are Surely Shortened

steeple jacks the number of deaths set
down to unnatural causes ranges as high
as ~ per cent. A dozen forms of death
threaten the man in the telegraph or tele-
phone derrick. He may make a false step
and come to the ground a hundred feet
below; piece of woodwork may give
way with like result, or his familiarity
with danger may lead him to touch
''live' wire. And, just as death over
hangs those whose vocations cause them
to ascend to great heights, so it assails
those who work at extreme depths In
the sewers of our great cities nearly 500
men perish every year from the effects Of
sewer gas. Or it may be that a heavy
thunderstorm has poured millions of gall
Ions Of water on the earth quite unknown
to them, until great waves of muddy fluid
come sweeping along the sewer, dealing
certain death to all who do not happen
to be near the manhole. Even the deep
sea diver has a multitude of dangers to
face, which to the average public are IN
known. For instance, when he reaches
middle-age he suffers from periodical fits
of giddiness and excessive bleeding at
the nose. This is the beginning of the
end; and if he persists in his calling, he
will either be struck down with perman-
ent prostration Of the nervous system
and paralysis within a year, or become
a martyr to divers palsy manned and
useless, helpless wreck for all time.
The Horrors of ''Phossy Jaw"
Perhaps the trade disease most familiar
to the public is "phossy jaw which at
tacks match makers, but fortunately this
fell complaint is becoming rarer every
year, owing to the present custom of US
Ing amorphous phosphor. There was
day when the youth Of 49, in full posses
sion Of health and strength, entered the
match factory to become a mere human
derelict in ten years. Even now this
trade kills more than 20 per cent of it's
followers. The first symptom of "phossy
jaw is chronic tOothache, followed by
liberation of the mouth. The teeth be-
gin to break off like chalk and the jaw
bone to chip: the joints become stiff, and
paralysis sets in. from which painful
death too often results And in this cat
egory too, must be classed the workers
in explosive fact cries, who number TO- 900,
and out of these 5000 are employed in
| danger buildings,'' wherein the risk is
SO great that when man sets out in the
morning he knows the chances against
his coming home alive are treble those
of the soldier who goes on active SER
vice.
Nor does this complete the list of work.

NOT PRACTICED IN LYING
The Man Was Clever, But His Wife Was
TrifIe More So.
WASHINGTON Post.

Washing Ton 1OSl
Have you heard the story about thu
young man in the pension office who-well
if you haven't heard it, here it is He Is
buying a house on the instaliment plan,
at a town somewhere between this and
Baltimore, and his dear little wife lives
out there. 1t is his won't to come in early
of morning and to go out again on the
$50 train, when his days work is done.
A few days ago he met an old friend
from Chicago, and, yielding to the en-
treaties of that old friend, he decided to
spend the evening in town. He was so
afraid his wife would feel hurt if she knew
that he had deliberately planned an even
ing's good time without counting her in
that he manfully resolved to deceive her.
Accordingly, as he came away from the
office, he went to telegraph office and
sent this message to her:
"Unavoidably detained. Missed $50
train. Will be out later"
1t was a great deal later when he
reached his happy home. Wife met him
at the door, and there was look in her
eye that every married man learns to
know and instinctively dread.
Did you get my message, precious?" he
asked as he kissed her tenderly, holding
his breath meanwhile as a precautionary
measure.
Yes, DEAR she made answer, and
when woman calls her husband dear"
that way you can cut loose from the
things on your own hook. Yes, dear. I
received your message. Here it is
There it was, sure enough. 1t was
marked as plain as plain could be. Re-
ceived at 4:23." He hadn't thought of
that.

BUCKET-sHOP QUOTATIONS
President cosgrove Says Fair Manage.
nent Has Received No Protest.

President G. N. Cosgrove of the state
fair said to-day that the society had not
been apprised of the protest made by the
Minnea polls ..Chamber ..of Commerce
against certain commission company's
exhibit at the fair grounds. He said that
the fair management had no objections to
the exhibit and the company had not ex-
ceeded it's privileges. The company, he
said, did no business either in buying or
selling and as far as the management is
concerned the publication Of quotations
seemed to be harmless enough. The COM
pany is combining itself strictly to ad-
vertising its business.
The company's exhibit consists princi-
pally of a large blackboard such as are
seen in the offices Of grain brokers with
a number of canvas signs advertising the
company. These signs state that contin-
uous quotations from New York, Chicago,
Duluth and Minneapolis are furnished.
