Indian Uses ! Gun.

SHAWANO, Wis, May 18-Partic-
ulars of the fourth Indian killing-in
this county in ten weeks were brought1
here today by officers from the Green
Bay agency at Keshena, who reported
the death Of Moses Shawanopanass at
the government hospital from revolt
Yer wound inflicted by George Mccall.
Both men are of the MenOmonie tribe.
Shawanopanass and other Menomo-
mics started Sunday morning for South
Branch to attend a medicine dance at
the home of one Palmo, also Menom-
onie. Here Mccall discharged his re-
volver. One version is that he was
testing the revolver by shooting into
the ground, and another that he was
trying to shoot member of the party.
While one Indian caught Mccall
from behind, Shawanopanass caught
his wrists and was shot through the
abdomen. Mccall then disappeared.
He is weli-to-do and one of the most
influential members of the tribe. His
mother was a daughter of Chief Osh-
kosh.

Source of Strength Is Puzzle to
Bears Who Work for a
Break.

In spite of bearish effort to break
wheat prices after the quick advance,
the market remained strong, and the
level was stubbornly contested. The
source of the strength remained a puz-
zle, as the cash news was practically
the same as that on which the market
was bUlled, and which lost it's effect
iveness. A firmer London market and
absence Of selling pressure gave a
slightly higher market in stocks during
the early part of the session, but it was
without significance, and at the ad
Vances the customary stagnation set in.
The restless traders sold a few stocks
in the last hour and the close was dull

dignant husbands. It is singularly appropriate
that the first president Of the organization which
promises to do so much for suffering husbands
should wear the suggestive name OF Kicks. There
is inspiration In cognomen like that, and unless
we greatly mistake the masculine temper, Kicks
is Of the moving sort.
'It is high time we asserted our manhood, says
he, ''and make a determined effort to save our
homes from ruin" That's putting It pretty straight
lust like temperance orator when describing the
work Of the serpent Of strong drink. No man can
listen to those words without feeling an impulse TO
90 out and put down progressive euchre at any cost
But when Mr. Kicks begins to describe the fate OF
q man whose wife is addicted to the progressive
euchre habit he grows 80 pathetic that even the
most admantine heart must melt at the recital Of
his woes ''Many night" exelaims Kicks, 81
have had to walk the floor with the baby until 2
o'clock waiting until my wife returned from aeuchre
partyF Isit any wonder that Kicks has rebelled
and raised the banner Of prohibitions Is it any
wonder that men who have likewise suffered should
flock to his Standard
There can be no doubt great struggle is on.
Only one issue is possible, however, and that Is
that progressive euchre shall be ground into the
dust. tits doomed and we look to see the day
when Kicks name shall shine reiulgently upon the
roll of fame as one of the great emancipatOrs OF his
race.

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.

on the one hand the relatives OF the dead wife, and
on the other the two sisters Of Mr. Fair-MTs. Her
man Oerichs and Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt.
The theory Of the wifes relatives that Mrs Fair
had survived her husband by brief period sufficient
to constitute her his heiress and that consequently
his will leaving ell TO her. the Fair estate should
be distributed among the heirs Of Mrs. Fair. Wit
nesses Of the accident, however, reported that bus
band and wife had died together and legal precedents
cited showing that European courts are inclin-
ed to hold, where there s question concerning the
priority Of death when man and woman perish by
q common calamity and there is nc evidence as to
which died first, that the man, being presumably
the stronger, survived the longest. In American
practice the general usage is to assume that both
deaths we're simultaneous, throwing upon itgants
who assert that lived longer than the other the
responsibility Of proving their contention.
It appears that the claimants through Mrs. Fair
came TO the conclusion that under the circumstances
q small certainty would be better for them than a
large possibility, contingent upon the uncertain out
come Of protracted and costly litigation. Mrs.
Nelson the mother Of Mrs Fair, was paid S130, ,OOO
in consideration Of which, it seems, she agreed to
compromise her claim. The bulk OF the estate
which was appraised at S3 OOO 000 will be divided
between Mrs, OelFichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt.
Though the the threatened suit was settled out Of
court, the lawyers fees, which are to be paid out
Of the estate are said to amount to nearly 5000 000
Few large estates pass from possessOr to another
without contributing something handsome to the
profession Of law. Indeed the lawyers often as In
this case, receive more than the person for whom
they are working. They rarely ever get left"

feet The Baltic ia not closed sea, and the straits
