WOULD TAX THE RED MAN.
Indians Charged With Sinking Their
Share of the Burden.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov 27.-The In
ssians belonging to Sisseton agency
and the authorities of Roberts county
have locked horns over the question
as to what property owned by the In
dians is subject to taxation.
These Indians enjoy all the rights Of
citizenship. A year or two ago, as the
result OF a test case, it was decided
that the county authorities could not
assess and tax cattle and other prop
erty which had been issued to the In
dians by the United States govern
ment, including, of course, their lands.
The authorities Of Roberts county
allege that since that time the Indians
have accumulated a great deal Of prop
erty by their own industry and to pre-
vent the payment of taxes upon it de-
clare that it was issued to them by the
government
The property in question was never

Al Morrow and T. e. Barrett Not
Guilty Of Conspiracy.

ST. Louis. Nov. 27.-Al Morrow as
sistant secretary to Governor Dockery
and Thomas r. Barrett. who have
been on trial in the federal court for
several days on charges Of conspiring
to aid and abet in naturalization
frauds, were discharged from custody
during the day. The Judge sustained
the demurrer of the defense that a
conspiracy had not been shown in the
evidence submitted, and discharged
the defendants
The question of forgery Of natural
ization papers and nnlawfully securing
them were not to be considered, the
court held, as the indictments charged
conspiracy to do SO and this had not
been proved.
District Attorney Dyer thereupon
announced that he would nolle PROSE-

indicted on similar grounds, saying
that If he could not prove conspiracy
in one case he could not prove it in

Get a Perspective on paim.

We are so constituted that what Is occurring at the moment interests us often out of all proportion to its inn portance. For example, we are thrown off our balance by the merest trifles, perhaps, which occur to-day, but which in a weeks time may have no signifi- canoe whatever. Obstacles which seem like mountains when we meet them, dwindle away to mole hills when we get away from them. Even what seems tragedy at the moment. in tho future may be the most innocent comedy. Most of us are so constituted that we will make almost any sacrifice for present peace. It would seem easier to have an arm or a leg amputated two years hence than to lose finger to- day. It is human nature to shrink from pain, and we purchase release at almost any cost. If we could only train the mind to look at to-day's trou- ble and annoyance from the stand point of the future. it would be much easier to Washington Times.

FIuori,ne Isolated at Last.

Fluorine, the most active element known, has been isolated by M. Mois- san in state of absolute purity, and when free from moisture it is found to lose entirely its extraordinary pow CT of attacking glass. Pure f1uorine, therefore, may be sealed in glass tube. In coIla boration with Prof. De- war, the tube of gas was immersed in liquid hydrogen, when the liquefac- tion and qualification of the fluorine were observed, and the fusing point was found to be at 233 degrees c. be- low zero. AS most substances are known to become inert at such cold. the question has arisen whether all chemical action ceases near absolute zero. To test this, the tube of f1uorine was broken in the liquid hydrogen, and the result was a violent explosion, with much flame and shattering of the apparatus employed It has been thus proven that some chemical action is possible at about minus 252 degrees C., or only 20 degrees above the abso- lute zero.

Canning Strawberries.

Wiesbaden Process.-For this two lots of berries are required-one of all large, sound, dead ripe berries and the other of perfectly sweet and fresh, but not necessarily large ber- ries. Tn looking them over put aside the fine ones, but do not hull until ready to use. To every pound of the smaller berries allow pound of su- gar and mix in layers in stone crock. Cover and allow them to stand for several hours or over night, until they form their own juice. Drain off the syrup and boil down to two- thirds of the original quantity. Have we'll sterilized cans with fresh rub bers in readiness; fill with the nice whole berries which have been hulled and set on thick, wet, hot cloth in a dripping pan on back of the range to keep warm while being filled with the scalding syrup. Pour the syrup over them quickly and seal air tight. The Germans frequently use half honey in place of all sugar in this process. In this case cover the berries with the sugar, allowing only a half pound of sugar to each pound of fruit. Aft CT standing and draining add a quar- ter of pound of honey for each pound of fruit and boil down to two thirds of the original quantity. In using honey the syrup must be care fully skinned before filling the jars. IN. Y. Herald.

 Manager Shea received a telegram l from Tommy Francis yesterday sayins that there was a letter on the way that would tell what he expected if ht joined the New London team.-NeN London Telegraph.
 The Holy Cross base ball players, by defeating Harvard last Saturday, proved themselves worthy of laying claim to championship honers. Her quondam rival, Brown, has also a de serving claim, which we think cannot be satisfactorily settled otherwise than by a match game. This, perhaps, on account of the inamicable relation which has lately arisen between the two institutions, is impossible, but if such game could be brought about 1t would be greatly appreciated and at tended by many interested in both in- stitutions. The struggle, judging from the respective standing of both teams, would be bitter and would attract the attention of those who are desirous of learning which of the two teams is su- perior in this branch of athletics. These are by no means few and a game on neutral grounds would not only satisfy them, but would also swell the coffers of both institutions. Up to date Holy Cross has lost three games and Brown has lost five. Lovers of base ball will patiently await the opin ion of the powerful advocate of clean sport, Caspar Whitney, to note the rat ing he will give this college which has purged it's athletics of all semblance of professionalism in order to meet the demands of intercollegiate rules. Holy Cross thus far has passed through a successful season and if the good work continues to the end she can boast not only of winning the championship, but of accomplishing it with one of the youngest teams in the country.

Wind and Vewetnffom.

The influence of the wind on ve NlM- ton has been the subject of r, Wwt by Prof. J. Fruh to Swiss geograp HEB. The effect is a powerful one, especi aNffy on trees, and even the presence orOb- sence of forests may be determMed by the character of the prevailing wind or the conditions that modify its ac- tion. The wind acts especially as dry ing agent. in this way giving special aspect to many plants. When the wind is almost always from the same quar- ter, the plants usually show greater development upon one side, trees are smaller on the windward edges of for ests, and trunks and branches are per- manently bent to leeward. The de- formations are most marked near the sea or in flat regions. The cherry, the plum, the walnut, the black poplar, the ash and certain pines are very sem sitive to the wind, but mountain pines and certain frs offer great powers of resistance, and these are recommended for reforesting windswept lands.-Sci- Anca

HOW Bird. Are Killed for Hats.

According to MT. W. E. D. Scott. of Princeton university. there is special cruelty in the manner of killing birds in Florida for use on women's hats. The huntsmen take advantage of the devotion of the parent birds to their young by lying in wait near the nests before the young birds are able to fly. knowing that their cries will bring back the parents again and again, in spite of the disturbance made by the slaughterers. With Flobert rifles the devoted birds are picked off at dis tance of only 10 or 12 feet.-Youth's Companion.
