In Holland two weeks before mar
riage takes place cards are sent out
declaring that the banns have been
published. This is called an under

when the final marriage is to take
place. The wedding itself is a small
affair, and the civil marriage is the
only one recognized by law. A church
wedding is usually looked upon as
concession to either fashion or senti-

Lives Of English Miners

With the advent of March the crop
of medical officers annual reports be-
gin to be prolific, and, as usual, some
of them contain interesting side lights
into the habits and customs of the
people of various districts. From Bed
lington in Northumberland comes a
graphic description of the ways of the
mining population, which is worthy of
note. The miner, says the doctor be-
lieves in good living. The principal
meal, "a heavy one is taken on the.

miner goes off to sleep, the frequent
result being dyspepsia and liver trou-

the family convenience, for which rea-
son food is being cooked nearly all
day long. Large quantities are con-.
sumed Of meat buildings and suet,
dumplings. Food is frequently cooked
in most unmethodical manner, with
consequent waste. The diet in min

teeth, therefore, do not get their prop

common thing to see a miner of thir-

women, urges the doctor, ought to be
taught to cook properly, and the COM
munity as whole instructed in the
use of the class of fcodstuffs most
suitable for their occupation and
mode of life. AS regards liquor, the
general custom among the drinking

Prominent in the collection is pince-

a monocle believed to have been the

Been For Naught.
The recent decision of the United
states supreme court in which it was
held that it was not a violation of the
federal statutes to sell liquor to an In
dian who had taken his allotment OF
land, continues to be topic Of dis
cussion among the federal officials of
South Dakota.
James D. Elliott, United States at
torney for South Dakota, in talking
Of the matter, said:
We are much disappointed in the
decisions, as we have devoted a great
MANY years to the protection of the
Indians and the whites who live in
their vicinity.
1t is generally recognized that the
decision will cause no little trouble
IN the counties bordering on the In
dian reservations Of the state, and also
has played havoc with liquor selling
cases that are before the present term
of the United States court in this city.
All such cases have been continued
until future terms of the federal court,
III hope that as result of a rehearing,
the United States supreme court may
alter it's decision and make it less
sweeping. Warrants which have been
issued for several persons, who were
indicted On the charge of selling liquor
to Indians, have been recalled.
Henry Robertson, a mixed blood
Sisseton Indian, was arraigned before
Judge Garland on an indictment con.
tanning three courts charging him with

ponies and by other means, attempt

HOPES TO APPEAL TO U. S.
SUPREME COURT.

Helena, Mont, April %. = The SUI
preme court of Montana yesterday af-
firmed the Judgment of the district
court Of Silver Bow county in the case
of Miles Finlen against f. Augustus
Heinze, the Montana Ore Purchasing
company, and others, better known as
the Minnie Healy case, involving title
to one of the richest copper mines in
Butte. The decision fafors Heinze.
1t is stated that if federal question
can be found upon which to base an
appeal the Amalgamated interests
will appeal the case to the supreme
court of the United States.
Finlen had leases and bonds upon
the property from John Devlin, Mrs.
Devlin, Mrs. Reilly and Mrs. Kelly in
1898, agreeing to pay 100000 Tor
those interests. In November, 1898,
Henze claims to have had a verbal
agreement with Finlen to take over
the bonds and leases for $4,000, and,
under the terms Of that agreement, be-
gan working the property. This Fin
len disputed, and in February of the
following year the present suit for pos
session was commenced by Finlen.
Harvey Fayors Henze.
The case was tried before Judge
Harvey, without jury, and a judg-
ment was rendered for the defendant
in December, 1888, Finlen in the
meantime having transferred his inter
ests to the Boston & Montana, now an
Amalgamated property 1t was at this
time that charges of misconduct on
the part of Judge Harvey in the con-
duct of the trial were made and many
sensational developments resulted, in
GLIDING Hamey's charge that Charles
w Clark, son the the senator; A. ].
Shores, attorney for the Amalgamated
and others, offered him a bride of q
quarter of million dollars to grant
new trial.
An appeal was made to the supreme
court. and a new trial was granted on
the ground that Harvey had not acted
properly in the conduct of the trial.
Again Defense Wins.
The case was tried again before
Judge Clancy in August, 1903 and he
decided for Heinze. Again an appeal
was made.
Yesterdays decision of the court,
which was written by Associate JUS
tice Holloway, attirms the judgment
Of Judge Clancy, holding in effect
that there was a verbal contract be-
tween Firlen and Heinze by which
HoinZe should take over Finlen's
bonds and leases in the mines I'm
der an act passed by the special SEES
sion of the legislature, the supreme
court was permitted to review the ev-
idence in the case, although it was an
equity proceeding. Chief justice
Brantly dissented from this PROPOSE
ton and in long opinion questions
the right of the supreme court to go
into the evidence in an equity case,
unless preponderance of the evil
dence favors such action. The effect
Of the decision is to give Hence title
to the mine, the value of which is esti-
mated in the millions.

Missouri River Shows Remarkably Low
Stage for Spring.

The Missouri river freaks are such
that no man can say how the stream
will act from one day to another or
from one season to the next. For a
long time after the ice had gone out
at Pierre this spring, rivermen hest
tated about putting in their large
boats, as the ice from up river was ex-
pected to come down at any time. But
they waited in vain, and not Sign OF
ice was seen at any time after it broke
away and left here.
Now the boatmen are wondering at
the stage of water in the stream. 1t
is as low as it generally gets at the
close of the season in the fall. In fact
none of them have ever seen it so low
as at present at this season, and boats
are completely cut off from the chan
mel on this side by bar, compelling
them to land nearly mile up stream.

SHERIFF OUT OF KOCH CASE.

Defense Secures Disqualification Of
5lue Earth Official.
Mankato, Mimi, April 22.-The sec.
ond day of the trial of DR.. Koch for
the murder of DIR. L. A. Gebhardt at
New Ulm on the night of Nov. l closed
with four jurors in the box.
The routine of the selecting of jur-
ors was relieved by sensation pro-
duced through the disqualification Of
Sheriff B. Williams from further CO,
nection with the summoning of tales
men to the murder trial. The Blue
Earth county official was disqualified
through the filing Of an affidavit by
Attorney Somervile, who represented
the defense. Attorney Somerville, in
his affidavit, charges that the sheriff
is prejudiced and partial in the selec-
ton of jurors.
Causes Bitter Feeling.
The affair evidently has caused bit
ter feeling on the part of the friends
of the sheriff. but Williams himself is
reticent regarding the action. 1t is a
common rumor that the attorneys for
the defense have attempted to have
tested the sheriff's convictions relat-
ing to the guilt or innocence Of DR..
Koch
Wednesday night, shortly after the
adjournment of court and before the
sheriff set out upon his rounds to sum-
mon the talesmen. so the story goes, a
friend of DR.. Koch presented to the
sheriff list of fifty residents of the
county, and expressed the desire that
at least few of the persons named in
the list appear in court the following
morning.
None Of These Names
appeared on the venire roll the next
morning, according to tie account,
and the attorneys for the young de-
PENDANT. drawing the conclusion that
the sheriff was prejudiced or biased
against the defendant. asked for his
disqualification.
Sheriff Williams. in speaking of the
incident, only would say that he has
performed his duties to the best of his
ability, and that if anything existed
which would lead the defendants to
believe he was acting against their in
terests, he was glad to be in position
to relieve them from any apprehen-
sion on that score. The attorneys for
the defense stated positively that in
their opinion the sheriff's actions led
them to believe he was prejudiced.
