Bird Hunters, Beware.

Now that the hunting season is on in
earnest it may be we'll to caution hunt
ers to be careful about the game laws,
especially in Tennessee. 1t is unlaw-
full for anyone to trespass upon anoth-
er's property without written permits
sion of the owner and it will not be
surprising if those in quest of game
will find their sport rather costly. A
feature of the law which seems to be
either forgotten or wilfully violated is
in regard to pheasants. The legisla-
ture of Tennessee enacted law in 1896
forbidding the killing of pheasants for
five years. In 1900 this law was re-en-
acted for another five years which ex-
tends it to 1905. Bristol Courier.

INDIAN MUST WORK.
Commissioner Jones Says Ration
Policy Is Demoralizing.
Custom of Wearing Long Hair and. Paint
Ing Red ID Also Crowned Upon-Fig-
ures Showing Cost OF the Gov
ernment's Wards.

Washington, Nov. 22.-Commis-
sioner of Indian Affairs Jones, in
his annual report, estimates that the
government, from it's foundation to
1890, spent $S45,275,290 in fighting,
subduing and controlling the Indians
of the country and $2+0,000,000 for
the education and care of their chill
dren.
1.-THE extent and demoralizing eff
fects of the ration system evil" says
the commissioner in explaining his
policy of abolishing the system,
"were generally recognized and uni
versally condemned, except, per-
haps, by mistaken philanthropy.
which, ignoring the natural law that
man must earn his living by the
sweat Of his brow, would exempt
the Indian from labor and carry him
upward on flowery beds Of ease. It
was felt that it was time for u
change. Heretofore dealing has been
with the tribe; it is now with the in
dividual. His manhood is appealed
to and he is to be taught self-reliafce
and self-respect, and to put his hand
to the plow if he would work. Moth
ing is further from the truth than
the assertion that the plan is to hire
out adult male Indians as contract
laborers. The results of the policy
have been favorable even beyond ex-
pectations and there is every reason
to believe that the final success of
the plan, if carried out judiciously,
Is assured. AS first result over H.
900 have been dropped from the ra-
ton roll, being wholly self-support-
ing. AS second result large num-
Der of Indians have been put to work,
or work has been found for them"
Concerning the order directing the
agents to encourage the discontin-
ance of the Indians custom of wear
ing long hair, painting, etc., Mr..
Jones says the reports on the SUBJ
ject by the agents are all in and
that the concensus of opinion ex-
pressed is shat it is step forward
and in the right direction"
The report advocates that agen-
cies and portions of agencies be
placed under the charge of bonded
superintendent of training schools,
policy already started wherever
practicable and, according to the
commissioner, giving better admins
tration than when the same agencies
were under the control Of political
fanatics.
The total cost of Indian schools
during the fiscal year was $3,637,7s5,
or SIS per capita. This amount
maintained 249 schools, with an en-
rollment of 134,434 pupils, and, in ad-
dition, a number of pupils at Hamp-
ton, Va, institute and at public
schools.

land ut midnight will not exceed
$4,000 or $4,000. Posses of policemen

Illinois shore and IRE hiding in the
dense woods. The bandits boarded
the train at the glucose works west
of the city, as passengers. They
soon made their purpose known and
