The Indians who came to Sheridan

What whiskey Makes a Mother.

Can a mother forget her child?
Yes, when she is addicted to the
awful habit of strong drink. Poverty
cannot make her forget. Suffering
cannot, but strong drink can. The
following true story is calculated to
make the blood curdle;
A woman in Manchester, N. H., has
six children. The Oldest eleven years
old, the youngest six weeks. In the
police court she pleaded guilty to the
charge of drunkenness, but asked the
court to suspend sentence because of
her helpless children, agreeing to
leave the place and live with certain
relatives in the country. When she
was released, instead of going to her
children, who were then suffering
from hunger, she went back to the
saloon and got drunk again. Tho
oldest child went to the police station
to look for her, which gave the
officials the lntimation that she had
not returned TO her family. The boy
added that the children were entirely
without food, and crying from hunger.
The officials took care of the children,
while the mother was again taken in
to custody.
1t is no new thing for man TO be-
come brutal and turn against his
family, or neglect and starve them
but here is a case where the motherly
instinct yields itself to strong drink.
Rum can make mother forget her
child. Rum can do what the most
vicious and proAigato child itse If
cannot do. The child may be bad,
may abuse the mother, and bring her
head In unspeakable sorrow to the
grave, but the mother will not forget
or turn against her child.
Rum can do it. Rum can destroy
the maternal passion Rum can make
her hopolessly indifferent to her Off
spring Rum can destroy her mother
ly affection. o rum great is thy
power Surely Satan has no agency
so effective for destroying all that is
good and true in human life. New

HAMPT0N'S BILL is VALID
To Be Reimbursed for State Land
Board Muddle.

The senate Friday, 9th, laid ON the
table until Monday II. b. 105, Hale,
to appropriate $40 and $50 interest to
reimburse w. II. Hampton for money
paid to the State Land Board for land
which the board afterward sold to
another nan. Senator May objected
to the immediate passage of the bill
unless some senator could explain why
Hampton should be paid the money.
No one could explain the matter, so
the bill was laid over
Inquiry at the Land Department
shows chat in 1898 Hampton held a
certificate of sale of the land and had
paid $40 thereon He was delinquent
in his payments and under the statute
it was the duty of the board to cancel
the certificate and sell the land again.
The board had rule, however, that
the purchaser was entitled to 30 days
notice under such circumstances and
Hampton was given notice to pay the
$50 delinquency within 30 days or his
certificate would be cancelled Hamp-
ton sent the $50, but before it reached
the State Land Department an attor-
ney had convinced the board that
under the statute the certificate must
be cancelled without giving Hampton
the 30 days grace, When Hampton IS
money arrived, the clerk of the board
was instructed TO return it with
notice that tho certificate had been
cancelled and, the land sold.
The supreme court recently held
that the state Land Board has the
power to make rule giving 30 day s
notice, even though the statute makes
the certificate subject to cancellation
without such notice, Under the
statute, Hampton was delinquent and
had no right to complain, but he was
proceeding under the rules of the
board and was not delinquent under
the rules.
State Treasurer Moore said that
this is the only case of the kind
he knows of and he is confident that
if this claim should be allowed, no
other claim under similar circum.
stances would ever be presented. The
passage of the bill would not, there.
fore, serve as precedent that would
subject the Land Department to other
claims Of the same nature. He thinks
Hampton's claim is valid and should
be allowed. The general laws permit
the board to refund money where the
states title failed, but this is not a
case Of that kind, and this board has
no authority to pay the claim.

Mr.. Fred Rose, a man about 38
years of age, who for twenty years
had made his home with James
Brown, was found dead in his bed
last Friday morning at the home
of Mr.. Brown in Memo. He was
running a pool hall in Memo, and
being the night before Christmas
it was kept open until nearly morn
ing. Mr.. Rose went home about
four o'clock, and probably died
soon after going to bed. He had
been subject to epileptic fits for
years, and from the position in
which he Yves found it is evident
that he died in one of them. Flu
neral services were held Sunday
and the body brought to Scotland
