Indians eighteen or twenty years ago,

thanks for each man. The most inter-

time owned ranch, and which was
his postofice address sixteen years
aap when he was sheriff OF Billings
county. Medora is a small place, but
the ranchmen from the surrounding
country had come into town and they
gave the president a truly Western
reception. Joe Ferris, who was the
presidents old foreman, and his broth
er, S. M. Ferris, met the president at
Bismarck and rode with him to Me-
dora. /.

Des Moines, Iowa, April g. = the
proposition to hold an exhibition OF
large families at the state house for
the benefit of President Roosevelt has
resulted in reports coming in from all
quarters of the state as to large fami-
lies who are willing to be. present and
afford a living argument against the
existence of the danger OF race ex-

UNITED STATES COURT OF AP.
PEALs RENDERS A UNANi-
NOUS DECISION.
COMBINE TO RESTRAIN TRADE
COMPANY ENJoiNED FROM Ex.
ERcIsiNG ANY coNTRos. OVER
THE TWO ROADS.

St. Paul, April IL. The United
States circuit court of appeals de-
clares that the Northern Securities
company is violation of the Sherman
antitrust law, in that in owning a
controlling interest in the stock OF the
Great Northern railroad aad the
Northern Pacific railroad II is in effect
q combination lin restraint of inter
state trade, within the meaning OF the
Sherman act. The decision Of the
court sustains every contention OF the
government. The case will doubtless
be appealed to the United States SUI
.preme court.
The decision was filed in st. Paul
yesterday by Judge Walter H. San
born. The opinion is written by Judge
Amos NJ. Thayer. All the judges that
heard the arguments in the case =
Judges Caldwell, Thayer, Sanborn and
Van Deventer. assent in the opinion.
Tied Up by lnjuncticns.
The courts decree eEjoins the
Northern Securities company from ac-
curing any more of the stock of the
Great Northern or the Northern Pa
cific, and restraints the Securities COM
pany from voting any of the stock it
now owns. The Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern are not to permit
the Securities company to vote any
of their stock; they are not to pay any
dividends to the Securities company,
and they are prohibited from permit
ting the Securities company to exer-
else any control over the two roads.
The Securities company is permitted
to return the stock of the two rail-
roads.
Destroys Competition.
Judge Thayer's opinion IS an ex-
haustive discussion of the questions
involved. The court holds that the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa.
cific are parallel and competing lines.
Control of the two railroads, the court
finds, is placed in the hands of the
Northern Securities company. This
control destroys competition between
the two roads en- interstate business,
because, their interests being COM
mon, one road cannot fix rates regard
less of the other. Whether these rates
are reasonable or unreasonable, the
court holds, does not affect the ques-
ton, since the violation of the law lies
in the power to fix unreasonable rates.
The fact that each road has it's own
board of directors does not affect the
question; the court holds that compe-
tition could not be more restrained If
the two roads were operated
Under a.Single Charter.
The charter of the Northern SecurI-
ties company granted by New Jersey
the court does not consider as a de.
tense; for a'state, says the court, has
no right to authorize what is prohib-
tied by federal statute. Nor does the
court consider as valid the defense
that this would destroy liberty

Sam hou.ton,s Indian Wife.

A movement is on foot to remove
the remains of the Cherokee wife of
Gen. Sam Houston to Fort Gibson, to
rest in the national cemetery there.
She was married to Sam Houston at
Fort Gibson, where her people resid.
ed, not long after his arrival from
Tennessee. where he resigned the
Office of governor of that state. which
movement is shrouded in mystery so
far as history is concerned. Miss
Rogers is said to have been very
beautiful, and that Houston knew her
in Tennessee before her removal here.
Chief-elect Rogers of the Cherokee
nation is one OF her nearest relatives.
Mrs. Heffernan, landlady of the Trent
House, is also relative. Both have
consented to the removal of the re-
mains, which now lie at Wilson's
Rock, on the Arkansas river, about
twelve miles from Muldrow. A suit

the grave in the national cemetery at

Mistake Of French Diplomats.

1t is the custom in Abyssinia for all
foreign missions to bring presents to
King Menelik. The French some
years ago brought lot of Partisan
mechanical toys-sheep that squeak.
ed, pigs that ran about on their hind
legs and dolls that talked. They
thought such things would be certain
to tickle the fancy of dusky king.
Menelik looked at them for moment
with disgust and rage, then he thrust
thom aside. do you think" he asked,
that I am a child or savage. that
should delight in toys?" The Russian
and English emissaries showed a
truer insight into his character. They
brought him Mauser pistols, revolvers
and the latest and best rifles they
could buy. He was delighted. These
are gifts worthy to be received by a
warrior and a king" he declared. The
influence of the Russians and English
over Menelik dates from that lucky
incident.
