A Mysterious Fire.

Mrs. Mary Wood came near
losing her home by fire Tuesday
night as well as narrowly escaping
personal injury. She had arranged
her bed on q couch and was Sleep
ing comfortably when awakened
by the heat and on opening her
eyes discovered herself almost en-
veloped in the flames of her own
bed. Her screams brought her
son to the room and they soon re-
moved the burning couch without
further damage. How the fire
originated is q mystery, but it is
believed that q match in some way
had gotten in the springs Of the
couch and had been ignited.

CARE OF THE DAIRY COW.

HaDhasaPd Methods Produce Little
bat vexation and Loss.
There are many men who still fol
low the old time custom Of having al
their cows becoming fresh in tn.
spring. In our own work we find tina,
we can secure at least 1000 pounds Of
milk per COW more by having then
become fresh late in September or Oc
tober. writes L. d. Stllson In Farm
ers' Advocate. We can then carry q
good dow Of milk through the win.
ter into spring with its green feed,
giving a very even continuous dow
nine or ten months. Then the cow has
much needed rest just when heat,
flies and abort pasturage cut the milk
dow most
As to feeds and how to feed, each
person should study a little for him.
self. II we are after the greatest dow
Of milk. irrespective Of cost, we would
say wet or steam all dry feed and
grind all grain It u q matter Of doubt
with u a. to whether It pays to grind
feed for healthy, active COW. The
returns. however. may not be quite 90
large when the feed - not ground.
Al to her care before calving, her
food should be somewhat reduced In
quantity and Of a cooling. laxative
nature. Roots, silage, alfalfa hay and
shredded corn fodder are excellent for
roughage. Oats, bran or a little oil
meal are good AZ concentrates. After
calvtng only tepid water should be
given for at least q couple Of days.
Keep her In a dry. warm. boxed stall
and see that she gets no sudden chill
for several days.
When the dairyman has gone to the
expense OF cows, stables, land, utensils.
etc.. for dairy work he must keep one
principle well In mind-that ID, that
about 60 per cent OF all the feed the
COW can eat goes to her maintenance
and that he must make his profit on
the balance of what she eats. With
this In view he can very readily see
that he must be liberal with his feed
II he will make the most from his In
vestment He should watch his feed
ing very carefully and know Of . Ger
tainty that be is feeding all his COWS
win stand. By carefully weighing his
milk at every milking. then by careful
Y Weighing or measuring the feed, he
can increase his feed Just 80 long as
there Il a corresponding increase in
milk. but he should watch closely for
The dangerous point Of overfeeding.

CASS LAKE JUB|LANT.

Judging from It& Cass Lake
Times. the Cass Lakers are JubI-
lent over the information that cut
over lands on the Mississippi
Chippewa Reservation have becn
placed under the jurisdiction OF
the commissioner of the general
land office. We cannot see, how
ever, as this alters the status OF
the land, nor what right it gives
suuuttcrs to go upon the reserva-
ticn and select claims. In order to
open the reservation to settlement
Il proclamation of the President
must be issued; no person can
have special privileges. Judge
LaHge. who started the agitasiNa,
that resulted in the ruling that
cut over lands on the Mississippi
Chippewa reservation, become
agricultural lands, cannot hope +"
gain much from this dccisison. $.
far ut least rs his right to squat
upon the hsads are concerned, for
there are still some conditions Of
the act, which the MoyFis Act
amends, which must bc fulfilled,
namely; to complete the aIlotting
of land to the Indians. This has
not yet been done, and it IS n0t
the fault of the Indians either.

who are charged with being drunk
and disorderly, it may seem like
encouraging lawlessness. but as
the state courts have jurisdiction
over citizens on this reservation,
we should have a township organ
izatian, and elect officers who will
maintain law and order, and whose
acts will be guided by the laws of
the state.
OF the two evils, however, If we
have to put up with either, it is
better to appeal to the good sense
of the members Of the reese rvation
to refrain from the use of intoxi.
capts than to be subjected to the
indignity Of being fined or ims
prisoncd without due process OF
law
In making thiscriticis1n we have
no personal grievances against
either the agent. Indian police or
court Of Indian offences, but we
are simply xnicing the reservation
public srn;i,n"n: with WHICH we
agree. and encouraging steps to
settle the status rf lhe members of
this reservation.
If the department Of the inter
ior insists upon maintaining a
court of Indian ottenses here re-
aardicss of the decisions of the
United States against the legality
of such courts and continues to
apply rules which are applicable
only to tribal Indians, we should
take steps to assert our rights
as cit tizens.

WHICH the allottees should not be
subjected.
1t seems that the Secretary OF
the Intcripp, in order to carry out
the decision above noted, anu
those of similar nature, to renr
der the law retroactive as to the
children born of N,:::"riages be-
tween white men a,Id i':Aian wom-
en-, determined to clQthe himself
with authority to cancel any
''trust patent" issued by his Dc
partment; hence followed the de:
cision of September 25, 1900, ai-
ready alluded to. The declsios'
| will work great hardship npoh
allottees upon reservations as well
as upon the public domain, Since
Il trust patent may be Cancelled al
any time previous to the expiration
of twenty-five years, a contest
may be commenced short time
previous to this limit; and the evil
depces that the allottre might
have had in the beginning of rlgh,
to his allotment may then be im
possible to abta in, by reason oi
death of witnesses, etc, and b."
may lose his home in consequences.
, The Yankton Indian allotment,
afford good illustration OF tbs
possible effect upon a||ottees. Th
tribe ceqed to the Government 81;
their unalloted lands for i ~'i:nu-
lated consideration. The :oscrf.
tary of the Interior has held i'll y

! did not revert to the tribe, bl';
| was the property Of the Govern
ment, hence open TO settlcMei't:
so that in contests over Other.
I,all6tments. if the Indian owner
could not in the next twenty-five
years prove his right. the outside
claimant would be awarded hIc
lands that had been improved for
Il home by the allottt4ee.''
| Mr.. Brosius' argument, which
We only partially quote, is SO
strong and convincing that it
should have some weight with ali
those who are dcsirous Of having
Indian intcreste safe-guarded.
The copy Of the bill which We
published in the lasl issue Of tie
ToMAHAwK, and which Was intro
duced by the true friend of TIL"
Indians. Senator Quay, and now
pending in congress, aims to COZ
rect the evils lurking under the
ruling of the secretary of the In
terror, which Mr.. Brosius refers
to.
If the bill does not become Il
law the bars for endless and ex-
pensive ljtigations would be down.
and, as the Mipnesota Chippewas
are not receiving their allotme1lts
in severalty under the superyis-
ion'' of Chippewa Commission as
required by the law under whici'
they are receiving these allot-
ments, this omission in the OBJ
servance of the law may result III
innumerable contests.
Too much care cannot be taken
by Indian allottces to fulfill the
requirements of the allotment
laws, and to insist thatthe govern
ment should do this also, and thus,
probably, save future trouble and
expensive litigation.

FALSE IMPRISONMENT
AND RIGHTEOUS
INDIGNATION.

Is it better to permit drunk
eness and disorder to reign on this
reservation or submit to the
illegal arrests and fines imposed
by the officials Of this agency:
This is the question which now
confronts the members Of this
reservation. Our men, women and
evenchildren have been thrown into
Jail by wave of the lndianagent's
hand, an order of the captain OF
Indian police, or so-called decree
of the''Court ofIndiun Offences,
For, alleged aifences against
imaginary laws, members OF the
reservation have been placedin Jail
and sentenced sometimes without
even the formality of a tr!al. This
assumption OF authority is an
outrage and extremely dangerous
to the Liberty, peace and welfare
of the people here: There
ure men here who would nM
ordinarily take matters Ip their
own hands and resist any
process issued under the authority
of law who would do SO under the
system now being used by the
agent and Indian police:
The officials Of the government
should bear in mind that every
member of this reservation, who
has received an allotment, is I"
citizen of the United States, with
all the rights, privileges and ima
munities Of such citizenship ''apsl
before being deprived Of their lib
erty. arc entitled tpa trial By y
court Of competent jurisdiction
whenever thryare charged with the
violation Of any law: they cannot
be legally thrown into jail without
due process Of law,
Every Intelligent man ON this
reservation knows the Indian
agent. Indian police and Indian
court have no authority under the
laws to impose fines or inflict pun
ishmcnt, for tl.c United States
courts have decided these quest
ions in several instances, and held
that the courts of Indian offences
arc unconstitutional and that an
Indian police is not an officer OF
the Uuited States within the mean
ing Of the law imposing penalty
for resisting an officer OF the
United States"
1t is useless, however, for the
Indians on this reservation TO con
tent themselves with making pro-
tests agains; illegal arrests and
Imprisonment, for these protests
have been ignored long enough;
but they should take some steps to
enforce their contcnsiOnS and set
tie the question for all time. The
Indignation which every member
of this reservation feels and their
criticism of the acts referred TO,
are righteous, but these indigna-
ton meetings will be Of no avail
unless the questions are referred
either to the department or the
courts.
If they arc referred to the de-
partment mass meeting should
be held and a protest submitted
through the congressman who
represents this district, and il an
action is commenced in the courts
there is a small fund with which
to commence suit in the hands Of
attorney G.. NJ. johnson of Detroit,
which was raised by subscription
last November ut which time it
was intended to commence a suit
to settle the questions which are
now the subject of so much criti-
cism.

posed to the free use of intoxl-
cants on this reservation, to take
from the agent and the police the

RObber Arrested.

Albetr Z. Bell, alias James e. Eut-
Ter a crook, with an international rep
utation, was arrested in Tacoma re-
Gently. G. A. Scribner, who was with
Bell and whom the police suspect of
being criminal with long eastern
record, was arrested at the same time.
AS the men were near the city jail,
Bell broke away and ran for the high
embankment over the railroad yards.
Without looking at the fearful drop,
and without the slightest show of hest
tation he leaped and then roll and fell
to the bottom. He was apparently un.
injured by his daring leap, for in a
second he was upon his feet rushing
across the tracks in the direction of the
wharfs. He was shut off by a number
of railroad employs, but climed with
the agility of Il cat upon the top of a
long line of freight cars and continued
his race for liberty, but was finally
captured.
Bell is a crook whose notoriety has
spread to England, France and Ger
many. He has, it is claimed, robbed
banks all over the world in the past
three years Of money and valuables.
He is wanted for the robbing the Kan
sas city National bauk of Kanass city,
Mo-, last April, of 100000, the Phila-
delphia National bank of Philadelphia
of $50, 900 and other banks in the east
of amounts that the police say aggre-
gate $500,000.
Bell was arrested several months ago
while sick in Denver hospital, and
taken to Philadelphia, where he made
a sensational escape from a passenger
train and had not been heard of until
his last arrest.

upstairs.
A few mntes later fnlftied sound
was heard and a fall. His mother
thought ii was the slammilla Of door,
but asked the father to go up aud see,
The boy was found dying on the floor,
with a bullet hole clear through his
head behind the ear.
The suicide is one of the strangest
that ever took place here. The dead
boy was the son of T. T. Pearson. a
wealthy rancher living at Palouse and
Whitman streets, and was pupil in
the highest grade at the Sharpstun
school. He was a recuse, associating
with no one but his father and mother,
though liked by other boys. He studied
very hard and was a natural ornitholo-
gist, having collected a room full OF
specimens.
Young Pearson disliked new clothes,
and objected to wearing a cap which
his parents had purchased for him.
He finally consented, however, reluct-
antly, then told his mother he had
some business upstairs. He is said
to have always had violent temper,
but the condition which led to the eli
max is thought to have been coming
on for some time. The suicide was
committed with an extension % rifle
pistol The boy shot himself while
standing, and fell with the pistol in
his hand. He died in 90 minutes. He
was an only son and had always been
INDUCED to the utmost. His parents
are distracted.
