MAKING HAY IN WINTER.
Old Adage About Making Hay
While the Sun Shines Re-
versed This Time
MACHINES ARE BUSY
Farmers Along the Mississippi Bot,
toms Who Were Unable to Harvest
Hay During the Wet Season Are
Putting II Up While the Thermome-
ter is Below Zero.

Special to Times Republican,
Clinton, Feb. 16.-Over across the
river in what is known as the Meredo-
ella bottom the rattle OF the moving
machines can be heard from sun up till
sun down. Notwithstanding the fact
that the thermometer hovers near the
zero mark instead of registering 100 in
the shade, as usual in "haying. time.
Following the moving machines are
the rakes and men, wagons and teams.
loading the hay on the wagons and
hauling it 10 the barns.
on account of the wet season the
farmers on the Meredocia bottoms
were unable to harvest their hay last
summer. They provided for the stock
by feeding them corn fodder and straw.
There are thousands OF tons OF hay
on this low land and until a few days
ago no one thought OF ever harvesting
the crop. which is well seasoned and as
valuable as II II had been under cover
all winter A few days ago one or the
farmers who had hundreds of tons of
hay in the field surveyed the loss With
considerable misgiving. Then an idea
came to him. Why not cut the hay
now? There has been practically no
snow in this section ana he saw NO
reason why the hay could not be har-
vested as we'll in February as In Au-
gust. The more he thought about It
the more feasible the plan appeared.
He got out his moving machine and
was agreeably surprised by the way 1t
moved down the hay on the frozen
ground. Behind him came the rake
and in few hours he was filing mis-
barn with as fine hay as ever had been
harvested on the Meredocia pttom.
When his neighbors first heard the rat
tile OF the moving machine they were
unable to comprehend the meaning.
Had they been living a Rip VIM Wrinkle
life and was it really summer! The
thermometer was consulted and regis
tered a few degrees below zero. But
there could be no mistake in the sound
and investigation was made with the
result that the horses were harnessai
and in an incredibly short time the
hum OF the mower could be heard n
every direction. The hay is being cut
and stored away In the barns or
brought to this city and sold for SO .
ton.

fHE DELAWARE
CHEROKEE CASE.
All Phases Of the Subject Are
Seemingly Covered.
EXHAUSTIVE SUMMARY
Points involved, Manner Dis
posed Of and Authority for
Same All Set Forth
/ in Elaborate
Detail.
SUM MARY

The opinion in it's entirety OF
#he United States supreme court
IN the case OF the Delawares
hgainst the Cherokee nation, on
appeal from the court Of claims,
Awas received this morning. II is
d pamphlet of thirteen pages aud
embraces copious extracts from
4he treaty Of 1866, the Cherokee
Delaware agreement Of 1867, the
Curtis bill Of 1898, Cherokee
Iagreement Of 1902, Cherokee con-
Istitution and also the courts
lopinion ii Journeycake vs. Cher
lokee nation. for part Of the Strip
funds.
After recIting the controversy
lat length, coupled with the agree
lments upon which based the court
lsays;
"It is the claim In behalf Of the
8Delawares that ii not technically

syeyed permanent in It's character

hhe children and kin Of the regis-
ered Delawares, or at least il was
holding which should endure 80
long as the Delawares and their
: descendants continued TO exist as
a tribe.
The character Of title is then
taken up and the court empha-
sizes the Indian idea Of sicr his
use and occupancy" instead OF
in fec, giving it Judicial sanction.
Further, thar the lands 81 the
Chcrokeee, and hence the Dela-
wares are held as a nation and
not a. indiyiduals-"b belonged to
them as political body aud not
to its individual members In

"He had q right to use parcels q

title, On which the Delaware case
largely rests, was Incorrect.

tract reads, "nor shall the own

unusua!

Ottumwa will have an unusual
Fourth of July celebration this year I'M
less the plans now being made by L.
A. Meeker of the West End park mis-
carry. Mr.. Meeker is now making ar
engagements for several attractions,
balloon ascensions, tight rope walking,
band music, etc., and some harness
races will be given. Inasmuch as it
has been decided to give no celebra-
ton this year of the order Of those
of the last two years, Mr.. Meeker has
taken it upon himself to give cele-
bration at the West End Park.
There will be four harness events
and one running race, the trotting and
pacing races being for purses of 5000,
while 500 will be the purse for the
running event. This will mark the first
real racing on the West End park since
the close of the original Wapello coun-
ty fair. Mr.. Meeker is perfectly IA
miliar with the running of harness
races and if the required number of en-
tries are made. the races promise to
be interesting IS far, at least, as the
managerial department is concerned.
Should Have Celebration.
No city of the size of Ottumwa
should let Fourth of July pass with.
out some fitting celebration of the
great day which it commentaries.
There is no need of having bolster.
Gus blowout, but something on the or
der of that which Mr.. Meeker intends
giving. The West End park, fitted as
it is with massive grandstand and a
commodious lot of bleachers, Is an
ideal spot to hold such celebration
and if the plans now being made dc
not meet with hitch this city will
have merrymaking day the Fourth
The Harness Events.
That the racing part OF the program
will be witnessed with enthusiasm by
many Ottumwans is practically assur.
ed, for the absence of race meets here
for the past several years has made
the lovers of harness events thirsty for
the sight of the racing horses. Not q
year passes but that there are fully
500 Ottumwans attend the different
fairs of the surrounding counties, for
the express purpose of seeing the
races. Entries for the five races must
be received by L. A. .Meeker on or be
fore Saturday June rs.
