ROBBED INDIAN OF $4,000
Montana Brave Was Easily Relieved
of His Money.


Plains, Mont, Nov. A wealthy
Flathead indian named Machell was
robbed recently of $22 900 in cash, the
money consisting of 800 bills and $50
gold pieces. Machell was visitor
in Plains, and during his absence, at
about 10 O'Clock at night, a man
dressed as squaw visited his home on
Camas priarie and engaged in CONVEX
sation with Machell's squaw. Mrs.
Machell noticed that the visitor was
not an Indian squaw but white man,
as he could not talk good Flathead, but
she did not suspicion anything wrong
at first, but finally saw two young men
run from an outbuilding carrying some
thing with them. 1t aroused her sus-
picion, as the wealth had been stored
in that building.
The robbers jumped on their horses,
which were nearby, and the one that
had been talking to her joined them
and the three rode away hurriedly.
AS soon as she reached Plains with
the news several of the white citizens
of that place accompanied Machell to
his home to find if the story was true,
which was proven on their arrival
there. A score of young indians started
out to try to locate the robbers, but no
clue had been discovered. Machell
was the wealthiest full blood Indian on
the reservation. He has large herds of
cattle and was always known to have
money, but few people knew that he
kept it at home. 1t developes, however,
that the old Indian was afraid to trust
his money in the bank and kept it in
an old trunk in an outbuilding at his

discovery very rich ore was met with
and in all the others good ore shows.

"suRIEcr TO STRIKES. :,

The Leavenworth Times recently or dered a carload of printing paper from an Eastern mill, and the order was ac- cepted subject to strikes, accidents and other causes beyond the control of the mill" and The Times adds this com ment:
 Such condition of affairs is disgrace to the civilization of the country. It Is an outrage that business must be trans acted subject to the whims and caprices of organizations which have their person. al likes and dislikes held paramount tc the good of the majority. It bodes no good to the future business conditions of the country. American supremacy can never be maintained on such basis, and 1t should not be countenanced.
 The Times is correct. Such a condition of affairs certainly is discreditabie and unerdurable. If the time has come when large manufacturing concerns cannot tell whether their employees will allow them to fill an order, or when such humiliating conditions must be placed in a contract. we are getting down to a pretty low plane If subject to strikes is to be- come part of all manufacturing contracts, the time will soon come when no con- sumner will feel safe in sending an order for anything.

ods of assuming what is Or should be the most holy and binding obligation which human beings can take on themselves.
 The marriage obligation Is too sacred and solemn to be left to such loose rneth- ods as this law provides, and 1t ehnpha- sizes the growing necessity of uniform marriage and divorce laws. We admit being somewhat of stickler for States rights, but this Is a subject about which there should be no prejudice and no oif. ference of law or custom. A marriage in any State of the Union should be valid and binding in all the other States, and no State should have divorce laws tin- der which parties from other States can get a divorce which they could not ob- tain at their own home. In short, we hold that there should be no difference fin the marriage and divorce laws in any part of the Union. In some States the marriage yoke is put on and off with al- most as much ease and eelerity as one changes clothes, while in others it is dif- ficult to get married and practically iri- possible to get unmarried. The subject of uniformity in both respects is frequently talked of. in Congress and out, but noth- ing comes of it. It does seem that the defects in present laws and customs are plain enough to induce Congressmen to go about providing something betterh.

CAN'T MAKE HoNEY-coMB.

Frequently we see something in the pa pers about artificial honey in artificial honey-comb, and there are many who be- heve the statement, but there is no truth in it. That there is bogus honey made is true enough. just as almost everything else that people eat or drink may be bogus. The ingredients of which honey is composed are not impossible of imita- ton, and it is often difficult to realize or distinguish the real from the artificial.
 But when 1t comes to the comb, 1t is different, for the bees enjoy a monopoly of that branch of manufacture. Of course it is not beyond human ingenuity to im- itate the work of the bees, but to make this comb and fill it with the bogus honey and do it so as to deceive any ordinarily intelligent person has not been done. In fact, the editor of The American Bee Journal has a standing offer of one thous- and dollars reward for one pound of arti- ficial honey in artificial comb, but has found no takers.
 Eminent naturalists and mathemati- clans have made close and accurate measurements and calculations of the cells of a honey-comb and have arrived at the undisputed conclusion that the shape and various angles of the cells are exactly what they should be to give most room and strength with least waste of space and material. These calculations have been made independently by differ ent investigators, and all arrive at prac- tically the same conclusion, and prove that the little bee solved problem which required all the learning and Ingenuity of experts in mathematics to solve. What the bees do they do well. Man may inn itate honey. but he can't make honey comb like that made by bees.

CHICAGO POLICEMEN.

TO be a policeman in Chicago is a mo- mentous as well as dangerous business. The cop who walks the streets of that city, to say nothing of It's thlckets. never knows what min lte will be the next. He may at any moment be sand-bagged ii he ventures to walk about the streets, or if he sits quietly down. he is liable to be set on and robbed of his bludgeon. If he goes into a saloon for safety, he stands a good chance to encounter a rough house when he isn't looking for it. To make the matter worse custom or something else requires the policeman to wear his pistol in his hip-pocket, and Of that inconven- tent arrangement. the chief of police says:
 It is a funny sight to see a policeman on cold day reaching for his revolver First, he must unbutton his overcoat. Then he has to tear the tindercoat almost from his back to get at the handle of the pistol. Next he has got to unlimber 1t from the sheath, and when the pefforrfi- ance is over the fleet thief has probably dodged around some corner and is hiding under a box or fence.
 Of course it's funny sight for others, but does anybody think it is funny for the policeman? While he Is tugging at overfast buttons till he is red in the face, and twisting himself hind-side-before to get around to his posterior pocket. the law-breaker has either skipped out, as the chief says, or has spatted the trussed- up guardian of the city on the solar plexus and knocked all the fight out of him. The chief recommends that the gun be carried in the left breast pocket, but that would be only a partial remedy for the trouble, unless the officer goes all the time with his overcoat unbuttoned. The question may naturally be asked, why should Chicago policemen be re- quired to carry his pistol concealed? It is well known that they all carry them. and if they are not legally authorized to do 80, they violate the law all the time by doing what every one knows they do. That they are compelled to carry pistols for their own protection and safety is likely enough and for that very reason they should carry them in their belts, where they would be handy and could be come at without going through a se- ries of contortions sufficient to dislocate themselves in several places at once. If they don't like the belt they could dis card the billy and hang the pistol to the wrist That would make it an easy thing and might save some of them from get ting hurt. Something ought to be done for Chicago's finest, for it is read cruel to let them wander about the city practi. cally unprotected.

ABSURD MARRIAGE LAWS.

The absurdlty of some of the marriage laws of the country, and of the equally absurd attempts to amend them, is shown by recent legislation in New York. n:,St State has been noted for the uncertaik
 of marital condition, but the amendmenE which went into effect on the first day of the present month makes a bad matter infinitely worse. Under its provisions, "a man and woman may become husband and wife by signing contract to that effect and having two witnesses also to sign it.
 This is vague enough, one would think, for 1t affords almost no protection. espe- cially for the woman in the case, for 1t will be seen that she is at the mercy of any interruptions man. He could. if so disposed, get possession of and destroy the contract and bribe the witnesses, if that should be necessary, and the woman would have no recourse But to compli- cate the affair still more, 1t is provided that the contract must be filed with the county clerk within six months.
 That is all. It is not stated or pro- vided in the law what shall be the result if the contract is not filed. Whether tho failure to file vitiates or renders void the contract is not stated. Whether the con tract is void if not filed within six months is left to the imagination or to the courts and what certainty is there that two courts would decide the same way? And if the court should decide that a marriage contract not filed was thereby annulled would the parties be legally divorced? If not, would they still be married, notwithstanding? IT the fail- ure to file divorces the parties, would they be guilty of bigamy if they enter ln- to another contract? And is it not in the power of the husband or wife, whichever one has the contract. to voluntarily fail to He 1t and thus annul the marriage !? And, again, if the failure to file the con- | tract annuls the marriage. is it not abso- | lutely in the power of both men and woe men to annul one marriage and contract and make another at pleasure?
 All these are pertinent questions and serve to point out the inefiiciency, if not the viclousness. of any such loose meth-
