Wfnnebago Indians are in sad and deplorable condition must be admitted. We believe that this unfortunate con dftion has been largely brought about by the unlawful sale of liquor to h. dians and their utter disregard to any marriage ceremony. The Homer saloon Keepers and their Indian apartments kown as bull bens' and the profes- sional bootlegger and the law-breakers who made 1t impossible to serve pa- pers by a deputy marshal without call- ing to his assistance an unknown off, cer. have been given a thorough in- vestigation and we have reported our findings to the court.
 The other cause of demoralization and which from the testimony is grow ing worse from year to year. is the marriage relation. We understand the United States holds as the Winnebago Indian Is now a citizen of Nebraska
 the marriage question is one that should be taken up by the State, but
 the State does absolutely nothing. It Is in evidence that the conditions are growing worse; that no legal marriages are celebrated, that most of the young
 Indians live with an Indian girl or wo- man for a few months without any marriage ceremony whatever, and then
 take up with another and so on until
 1t Is nothing unusual for one Indian to have been the so-called husband of frox. one to a dozen or two dozen In- asSwomen; that children born under
 such conditions acknowledge the moth- CT. but the father is usually unknown
 and there may be several children in one family having different fathers. .'

Harbors and rivers. therefore. have been able to accommodate vessels of larger draft. This. of course, permit ted the owners to load their boats smore heavily. and since the cost of trips was only slightly increased, with a greater tonnage. the profits have been compar- atively larger for each trip.
 In accounting for the unusual amount or water in the lakes this year, Major
 Dan C. Ktngman. United States en- gineer for this district, said:
 The frequent and heavy rainfalls this season in the district drained by the Great Lakes partly account for the nigh water-level. but the comparatively small amount of evaporation. because or the continued low temperature. has had a great deal to do with 1t. too. I do not know the exact figures. but the water is considerably higher than the mean level"

means a neat profit. and when 1t is con- sidered that this company owns and operates about 15o boats 1t may be seen that the rising of the lake level has been a big thing for that company.
 Of course, 1t will be remembered that this seasons shipping has been com paratively light, but 1t would seem that 1t must have been comparatively more profitable.
 The change in the lake level has wrought havoc with the game birds in this vicinity. The nests have been overwhelmed by the high water. and the young birds have been drowned. Thus cestain kinds of game on the south shore of Lake Erie will be scarce this fall,

tangling themselves Tn matrimonial meshes.
 Poets may. perhaps, find some con- solation for a decreasing marriage rate in the greater constancy now display ed by widowers and widows to the memory of the dear departed" Be tween 1S76-S0. on the average, out of every thousand marriages 1S6 were those of inconstant widowers. and 9S those of widows; since that date the proportion has been gradually declin- inE. and in 1902 only 91 per 1000 mar -.ages were those of widowers and 6S those of widows.
 At the same time, a widower, no mat ter what his age. Is still a great deal more likely to marry again than the bachelor of the same age Is to marry. a fact which should be an indispensa- ble testimony to the happiness of the married state, and without going so far as old Mir. Weller, who complained that more widows got married than single women, 1t is evident from these returns that after certain age is past widows have a far greater chance of remarriage than spinsters have of mar riage.
 The average age for marriage is evil dently rising both among men and wo- men. In 1892, 47 husbands and l5< wives were returned as minors per 1000 marriages. being the lowest pro- portion yet recorded.
 The spread of education is shown by the fact that signing the register by mark is rapidly disappearing. In Lon don. nearly all the signatures by mark occurred in marriages either of foreign Jews or foreign Roman Catholics. Wales, however, must look to It's edu- cational laurels, seeing the proportion of illiterate bridegrooms and brides in the principality is considerably above the average for England and Wales.
 Taking the statistics O. births wo find the birth rate for 1902 was 2S. 3 per 1000. and was identical with that for 1901, this rate being the lowest on record. The number of male children born was 479,l44, and of female chil- dren 461, 1865. The superfluous female population of this country Is due 10 the lower death rate of that sex.
 In 1902 the total deaths included 277,- 216 of males and 25S,322 of females. the death rate average 17.4 per 1000 among men and 15.2 per 1000 among women.
