MEYERS motion
WAS REFUSED
Cannot Have the Custody Of His
ChiId-Case May Be
Taken Higher.

The Supreme Court OF Appeals sitting
at Wythe,ville. yesterday refused the mo-
ton of DR.. Otto Meyer. of this city,
made through his counsel, Mr.. John A.
Lamb, for a rehearing in the matter Of
the possession of his eight year old
daughter, thus leaving the latter in the
possession of her mother. the father
having the right to see the child three
times a week.
Mr. Lamb declares that he will take
the matter to the United States Supreme
Court, but unless he shall do so, the
case is now at an end.
The question OF the fathers religious
belief has entered largely into this case.
The father. declared that he did not be-
lieve in Bible God. and stated that he
would not teach his child to believe In
one, and In view of these circumstances
the award Of the child to. the mother
was made on the ground Of the best In
terests of the little girl.
Mr.. Louis o. Wendenburg. who ap-
peared for the mother in the case, said
yesterday:
.'Unless Mr.. Lamb appeals to the
United States Supreme Court in this
matter, the refusal of a rehearing be-
fore the Supreme Court Of the State
seems to end the matter

enue Collectors office Is engaged now in
winding up the business CT the old fiscal

INDIAN RELICS FOR MUSEUM.
The Cheyenne Tribe to Contrib MT e to
the Collie ctfOn .of the Chi
cagO Institution.

James Mooney, of the bureau of eth
nology, who is to make an exhaustive
study and collection of the Cheyenne
Indians for. the Field Columbian mu-
scum, has fully outlined his work with
the tribe. He has already spent much
time among them, and the collection
made from the Cheyenne tribe now in
the national museum is almost entirely
due to his efforts. Mr.. Mooney to-day
said he anticipated his work for the
Field museum with much pleasure and
=would make by far the largest collec-
tion of Indian relics he has yet gath
erred from any tribe.
According to a recent census, there
are 2,119 of the southern tribe of Chey-
ennes~ in Oklahoma, about 1900 of the
northern Cheyennes in Montana, and
100 with the Sioux Indians on their
reservation in South Dakota. They
are fast deereasin in number, and
they stQutly resist civilizing influences.
Until. "a few years go they lived wholly
in tepees of skins and fed on buffalo
meat. They bury their dead on filters
built from the branches of trees sew
eraI feet from the ground, and their
most sacred possession is bundle of
.'medicine arrows" They-are. the most
famous of all tribes for their desper-
ate courage and pride of bearing. Mr..
Mooney will study their language,
their songs and legends, their customs,
manners, dress, and arts, and will have
casts made from the bodies of the ma
tites,: procuring their original dresses
and ornaments for the life size<fgures.
He expects the collection, WHICH will
require several years time to make,
to fill several large. rooms in the mu-
scum: A part of the collection will be
used for displays at the ST. Louis ex-
position.

Tt will be remembered that this
sweet little girl was given up by the
doctors with DrOpsy. She was so far
gone that her eyes were closed up and
her body bloated till it was purple.
After everything else had failed
Dodd's Kidney Pills were used and to
the joy and surprise of everyone she
commenced to improve
This improvement resulted in. com
plete good health and she continues.to
keep strong and well and without the
slightest symptom of the Dropsy Left.
The doctors are as much bewildered
as anyone at the wonderful cure of
this desperate case.
