Maud,s Brother Jake.

Jake Muller, on summers day,
ralked the meadows sweet with hay.
The mule with which he raked the
hay was muckled dun, with streaks
of gray. Jake's shirts were hickory,
and pants were brown. and a patch
on the part where he sits down Jake
cussed in a way that was hard to see,
for the mule went haw when he said
gee A humble bees nest in the
stubble lay, where Jake and the mule
raLed the hay. A rake tooth ran
through that humble bee home, and
the bees came out and began to roam
in search of the man that summer
day who raked the meadow of clover
hay. The bees swarmed inside Mul
ler's shirt, and quickened the mule
to lively squirt. 1t was tough on
the mule and worse on Jake, and
worse still on the sulky rake, for the
mulo turned loose in a promiscuous
way and scattered the rake all ovei
the hay.-Leran Eagle.

phrase public lands Of the United
States" +" We deem it safe, how
ever, to assume that the United
States never granted homesteads
to her private citizens, except out
of the public lands Of the United
States;" and conversely, if such
grants are ever made, the lands
thus taken must necessarily be
long to the "public lands Of the
United States"
What now do We see? Il has
been made apparent already that
the United States was the real
owner Of al the lands embraced IN
the Cherokee domain; we also see
that, 10 the iolioa Of legislation
shaping and framing the general
allotment plan, the United States
has asserted this ownership, has
taken possession Of The land in
question, aud has been. and is n0w
dealing it cut in free homestsads

submit with decided confidence
whether there was ever a single
legal element affecting the public
lands of Dakntah, which has been
homesteaded, that does DOT today
atlach with equal force the lands
Of the Cherokee Nation
Tb conclusion seems TO be in
evitabh: the Indian tiile to these
Cherokee lands hos been extin-
guished; they have become ihe

We shall not stop to cite author
ities; the principles upon which
we rely are elementary, and fami-
liar, especially to the professional
mind.
This tract of land, prior 10 the
act of allotment, belonged TO the
Cherokee government, under pa
tent from the United States which
was affected with the proviso. that
the title which it conveyed should
revert to the United,States in case
the Cherokee Nation becomes ex.
tinct. or sbandons the same"
These two specific causes of re
version were set forth in the pa
tent for obvious practical reasons:
to save the trouble Of any proceed
ing in the nature Of adnDinistra
ton, in case OF the death of the
nation; again, TO bring to bear up
on the tribe a cogent motive for
staying at home, aud to check The
disposition TO rove, tendency
which was thought to be only TOO
natural 10 the Indian mind
But no one will pretend that
these two are the only conditions
upon which a revession might be
cast. Suppose the ownership Of
the Cherokee nation should cease
TO exist from any cause whatever;
who, whether natior or indivi.
dual, could possibly take, except
the United States?
Now. il is the fundamental idea
ia the scheme Of allotment, that
The ownership Of the Cherokee na.

end mas now already been attain.

GRIP ON THE CRAFT
Drawn Still Tighter by Grand Jury at
Neutrality-suspicious. lndict-
ments Found.

A Washington special says: The
federal grand jury, which has been
considering evidence growing out OF
the postoffice investigation, returned
indictments Friday against the follow
ing:
August w. Machen, formerly gener-
al superintendent of free delivery.
John T. Crupper, mayor Of Lock
Haven, Pa.
William G.. Long, of Washington.
William Gordon Crawford, also OF
Washington.
George E.. Lorenz and Martha J..
Lorenz, his wife, of Toledo, Ohio.
Maurice Unkel, of New York city.
Thomas W. McGregor, formerly
chief Of supplies, division of mail free
delivery.
William ]. Stern, of Baltimore.
With the exception Of Crawford, all
of the above are indicted for con-
spiracy.
The indictment against Crawford is
for presenting false claim against
the government. Long and Crup2er
are also indicted separately for brio
cry. Orders for the arrest Of all par
ties were Immediately issued. This
batch of indictments does not wiad
up the cases before the grand jury,
and other matters resulting from the
postal investigation are pending We
fore that body and may result in in
dictments against other parties in the
near future.

CHIDE.T THE ERRING.
Postmaster General Payne Returns TO
washington and Talks Of Scandal
+. in His Department.

"A Washington dispatch says: Post
master General Payne resumed his OF
fetal duties at the department Satur'
day. He had a long conference with
his assistants during the morning and
for several hours talked over the iu'
vestigation with Fourth Assistant
Bristow. The latter reviewed every
thing that has been done during Mr..
Paype's absence.
Mr., Payne said that it could not by
any means be said that investigation
was ended, although he hoped the end
was in sight. He said it might oe
completed in four weeks, but 1t was
impossible to fix any exact date. He
said the president, in common with
himself and Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow, will be glad
when the Investigation is over, but
that none OF them wants the inquiry
closed until every irregular1ty has
been ferreted out.
Mr.. Payne pointed out that inspec-
tors are working on the cases in va
rious parts of the country and devel'
opments not now foreseen may occur
at any time. Mr.. Payne declared that
every one against whom any evidence
has been found will be treated accord
ing to the evidence and that no one
will be shielded by the department.
