SETTLE INDIAN MIDDLE
COMMISSIONER LEUPP ON STOCK
BRIDGE AND MUNsEE TROUBLE.
Controversy Should Be Settled and Red
Men Ought to Be Able to Take
Care of Themselves.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 90
Especial. 1.-The annual report of the
commissioner of Indian affairs, Francis
Z. Leupp, was made public today. Com
missioner Leupp deyotes considerable
space to the affairs of the Stockbridge
and Munsee Indians.
The affairs of the Stockbridge and
Munsee Indians in Wisconsin have been
badly confused for many years. says
Mr.. Leupp. The act of March 3,
of their lands and made them citizens
was unsatisfactory and resulted in di-
yldlng the tribe into two factions, styled
the Indian party and the citizen party,
the Indian party rejecting the provisions
of the law.
Owing to the many controversies
which arose. Congress, by act of August
+, 1916, repealed the act of 1913 and re-
stored to the Indians their ancient form
of government, but provided that those
who SO desired might enroll themselves
as citizens of the United States. 1t APP
pears that none of them availed them
selves of this provision. Then came the
treaty of 1S4S, made by the indian party
and called covert legislation by the cit-
zen party, who We're made citizens with
out any action on their part
1T is hoped that the affairs of these
Indians can be settled and the govern
ment's supervision of them cease. They
ought then to be abundantly able to
care for themselves-better, it is hoped,
than in the past"
In reporting upon the timber business
of the Menominee Indians Commission
err Leupp says:
The act of June 2S, 1906, authorizes the
secretary of the interior to permit the bust
ness committee of the Menominee tribe in
Wisconsin to dispose of their dead and
down timber in what is known as the
%, 100000 and 100000 feet. This is to be
in addition to the amount of timber author
lied to be cut annually by the act of June
~, 1890.
Under rules to be prescribed by the secre-
'tary, the timber is to be cut into logs and
hauled to suitable places for saving, and
the secretary is to contract with owners OF
portable sawmills to come upon the reserVa-
ton and saw the logs into lumber at not to
exceed $3.50 per thousand feet, board meas
ure.
Commissioner Leupp has the follow
ing report to make regarding logging
Operations at the La Pointe agency:
The timber operations have been success
fully and satisfactorily conducted. The
rules declare that after certain deductions
have been made the remainder of the pro
iceeds shall be deposited in some national
bank to the credit of the allottee, subject
to his check when countersigned by the
United States Indian agent.
The proceeds from the years sales were:
Lac du Flambeau, SOS, 695.S6; Bad River,
$317, 1885, IA Red Cliff, $5272.78; Lac Courte

GERMANS AS COLONIZERS.
Chinese City Under Their Control Has
Much to Be Proud Of

Germany is making herself solid in
various quarters. The American consul
at Dalny, Manchuria, send the follow
ing report of the manner in which the
Germans run the town of Tslngtau,
which is under their control
Tsingtau boasts number OF hotels
where one may find suitable quarters
with good food from $50 to $I5 gold a
month. There is a fine beach hotel To-
Gated at the bathing beach, where many
of the visitors from neighboring ports go
during the heated term.
Germany maintains a garrison at
Tsingtau and many Of the surrounding
hills are fortified. Long distance gun
practice takes place every day.
The authorities have been conducting
department Of forestry since their occu-
patton, with the result that the barren
hills of few years ago are now covered
with young forests. Millions OF young
trees have been set out and the work has
been taken up by the Chinese, who are
planting trees themselves under the su-
pervision Of the German authorities.
just outside of the city the Germans
have built village for the Chinese. 1t Is
model of it's kind, with broad streets
and small but well constructed brick
houses. There are regulations in force
over there which require the city to be
kept clean, and they are obeyed.
The Chinese have plenty of breathing
space and there is no crowding with the
attendant evils Of bad sanitation. fine
market space is set aside and here the
farmers come every day to display and
sell their wares.
The health Of the city is always good.
Strictly hygienic methods are enforced
by the naval governor of the city. The
city is surrounded with beautiful drives
and everything bears evidence of the
Strictest care.
Recently the Germans have opened an
European school and Europeans Tor
many miles around take advantage OF
the excellent course Of training and send
their children to Tsingtau.
There is q model abbatoir at Tsingtau,
presided over by competent veterinar-
fan. who examines all cattle brought in
for slaughter. The abbatoir Is fitted
scrunuIous cleanliness prevails. A model
truck farm and dairy also add to the
comfort of the people.-New York Sun.

SYDNEY, n S. W, Nov. 20.-The
Roosevelt, Peary's ship, is weather
bound in ST. Georges bay, New Found
land, waiting for coal.
Crew Charges Mistreatment.
OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 20.-Charges
of Pearys mistreatment of his crew, of
hardships imposed unnecessarily on the
passage south, beside which the suffer
ings of the frozen north were as nothing;
of filthy quarters-ih short, general
criticism is contained in u letter from
one of the Roosevelt's crew, which has
just been received here.
j. Shortall is the complainant He
wrote his letter on October D at Hope
dale.
Nine Men Try to Quit Ship.
Shortall writes that conditions had
become so bad when they reached Hope
dale that the mate, four sailors, and
four firemen refused to go farther on
the ship, which was leaking badly.
When the vessel got to Hopedale there
was only one pintle in its rudder. The
crew had little to eat and was living
in squalor, Shortall said The men
wanted a survey on ship, but Comman-
der Peary and Capt. Bartlett would not
harken to this. Shortall declared that
none of them would go north again I'M
der any consideration.
One of the crew of the Virginian Lake
who boarded the Roosevelt at Hopedale
stated the crew told him it had three
boilers when it left Sydney, but before
it reached Greenland two of them
burst.
The crew also said the ship was to-
tally unfit for arctic work, and "after
getting into heavy ice, it used to go
together like an accordion playing mu-
sic'
On the way north the men said that
they landed part of the stores, Peary
telling them that in fifteen months
there would be a relief ship sent to
them. But such ship never came.
Since August last they said, they have
been living on two meals a day.

GREAT BRITAIN is JEALOUS
bassador Who Can Get Between
Germany and United States.

LONDON. Nov. 2O.-The Westmins-
ter Gazette today urges the government
to select a man of supreme ability for
British ambassador at Washington. The
paper declares that Great Britain's
former influence and prestige at Wash
ington have been usurped by the Ger
man embassy, adding that the relations
between the President and the German
ambassador are of the most intimate
character and that Mr.. Roosevelt is in
more close and more confidential COM
munication with Emperor William than
with any other ruler or statesman in
Europe These relations influenced the
Algeciras conference.
30 names are mentioned, but the ten
dency of the article is towards selection

COFFEE IMPORTERS

Publish a Book About Coffee.
There has been much discussion as
to Coffee and Postum Lately, SO much
In fact that some Of the coffee Import
ers and roasters have taken to type to
promote the sale of their wares and
check If possible the rapid growth OF
the use Of Postum Food Coffee.
In the coffee importers book chap
ter is headed Coffee as a Medicine"
and advocates its use as such.
Here Is an admission Of the truth,
most important to all interested.
Every physician knows, and every
thoughtful person should know, that
habitual use of any medicine" OF the
drug-stimulant type of coffee or whisky
quickly causes irritation Of the tissues
and organs stimulated and finally sets
up disease In the great majority or
cases If persisted in. 1t may show In
any one of the many organs of the BODY
and in the great majority OF cases can
be directly traced to coffee In most
unmistakable way by leaving on the
active irritant-coffee-a using Pos
tum Food Coffee for matter OF lO
days. If the result is relief from nerv-
Gus trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint,
heart failure, weak eyes, or any other
malady set up by poisoned nervous
system, you have your answer with the
accuracy of a demonstration In mathe-
mates.
There's a reason" for Postum.

CHAPTER XII.

CHAPTER XII.
1t was about 6 o'clock in the evening
when we brought the Celsis through the
Narrows. Then the greater harbor be-
fore the city itself rolled out upon our
view; and as we steamed slowly into it
the customs took possession of us, and
made their search. 1t was a short bust
ness, for we satisfied them that Paolo
suffered from 40 malignant disease.
For ourselves We went off to dine at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. When dinner was
done | suggested that Roderick should
take Mary through the city awhile, and
that l should get back to the Celsis, there
to secure what papers were left for me,
and to arrange, after thought, what my
next step in the following of Captain
Black should be.

and got aboard the yacht with no trou-
bic. There was man keeping watch
upon her decks. [ went to my own cabin,
getting my papers. my revolver and other
things that l might have need of ashore.
AS was ready to go back to the 9th
ers l looked in Paolo's cabin, and, some
what to my surprise, I saw that he was
yacht This discovery set me aglow with
expectation. If the man were going ashore,
whittier could he go except to his asso-
ciates? Was not that the very clue
had been hoping to get? This thought
sent me forward into the fo'castle, where
Dan was.
Hist, DAM" said I, "give me mans
rig-out-a jersey and some breeches and
a cap-quick," and, while the old fellow
stared and whstled softly, I helped to
ransack his box; and in a trice I had
dressed myself, putting my pistols, my
papers, and my money in my new clothes
but leaving everything else in a heap on
the floor. AS l came on deck, l saw a
shadow on the gangway. The man was
leaving the yacht at that moment, and
followed him.
Once out into the city, and having turn
ed two or three times to satisfy himself
that he had no one after him, Paolo
struck for Broadway, and thence with
staggering gait he made straight for the
Bowery. At last, after a long walk and
when the man himself was almost falling
from the exertion of it, he stopped before
an open door in the dirtiest of the streets

The room was long and narrow; bank

THROWS CHILD INTO SEA.
Insane Nurse on Liner Narrowly Escapes
Mob Law

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Suffering
from temporary insanity Rosa Maggie,
a Swiss nurse, grasped Aaron Guvow-
ski 1-year-old, from a group of children
at play on a deck of the steamer Nieuw
Amsterdam, when the ship was in mid
ocean Thursday and threw him over
board. He was drowned. Despite
heavy sea, a boat was lowered to look
for the child. For three hours the liner
swung in circle about the small boat
in vain. Mrs. Jacob Guvowski, the
mother of the baby, is on her way to
Fargo, n. D., to join her husband.
GERS saved the nurse from being torn
into pieces by the frenzied passengers,
led by the mother. The nurse is a pris-
oner on the ship, and will be returned to
Europe.
