been gagged with a piece OF iron and
severely beaten because, when half
starved. she helped herself to some

"Our attention has now been called
to piercing cries which emanate from
a house near Canton road and are
said to proceed from little slave
girl who for some reason Is beaten

cruelty without lodging a formal com

To tear a pack Of cards In two is
regarded by some as a marvellous
feat Of strength, and yet the trick
Is possible to any one with fairly
strong fingers. The secret Of the trick
lies in the fact that the entire pack
is not torn at once, but In pretending
to get a grip on the pack the strong
man so manlpulates the cards that
they overlap. In this way but a sing.

The effect of this decision Is not,

upon 1t by various newspapers in
the Territory. | doubt If Cne minor
lease in 200 has been made in this
manner. Chapter 73 of Mansfields s
Digest which is in force in Indian
Territory, provides for the appoint
mont of guardians and curators for
NH ors and authorizes the guardians
OF curators to make leases under
the direction and subject to the ap-
prevail of the court. Leases of minor
lend for oil, gas or other mineral
purposes must, in addition, pass
through the Indian agency and must
be approved by the secretary of the
interior. Judge Lawrence, by an
order made in February 1905,
requires the guardian to petition for
an order for leave to lease for min
eral purposes; the order having
been granted, the guardian must
advertise for two successive weeks
in newspaper published in the
court town of the recording district
in which the land is located, and he
must also post notices in the court
must also post notices on the court
house door and bulletin board. On
the day mentioned in the notices,
the lease is offered for sale at-auc-
ton by the probate commissioner.
A lease to the highest bidder is then
drawn up and report of the whole
matter Is made to the court by the
probate commissioner and the
guardian of the minor If the court
approves the lease thus made, it
must then take the usual course
through the union agency and the
secretary's Office.

AS TO MINOR LEASES AND HOW EFFECTED
An Opinion Prepared by Irwin Donavan the Well Known Attorney
Of Muskogee, Indian Territory

There has been much discussion
as tc the effect of recent decision
by the Assistant Attorney General
In regard to minor leases and the
editor OF tn ePhoenix requested Ir-
wi Donovan, Esq, the well known
attorney. to prepare an opinion for
publication on the subject. Mr.. Don
ovan is the senior member of the
well known firm of Donovan and
Gr:esel, attorneys, and was for a
long time connected with the legal
department of the Dawes Commits
sio., and Is well qualified to discuss
the subject. His reply to the re-
quest Is as follows:
"Muskogee, |. r., Sept. II, 1906.
Editor Of the Phoenix,
Sir: In response to your re-
quest for an opinion as to the effect
or the decision of the assistant attor-
ncy general rendered in the Bushy-
head case, relating to the BWaOqRm
bead case. relating to leases execut-
cd by minor allottees whose disabil-
ities have been removed by the
United States court, | take pleasure
In submitting the following:
In 1890 congress passed an act
putting In force in Indian Territory
certain statute laws OF the Statute
laws OF the State of Arkansas, as
ths same appeared in Mansfield's Di-
gesr OF the Statutes of Arkansas,
published in 1884. 1t did not, how
ever, put in force chapter Al of
this Digest which relates TO the ju-
risdiction of the Circuit Courts to
which our district court corresponds.
1t Is in this chapter that the courts
are given power to remove the dis
abilities of minors. The attorneys
for the lessee of Bushyhead con-
tended that even though chapter Al
Of Mansfield's digest was not in force
In Indian Territory, yet under the
powers inherent in the court as
court Of equity in dealing with mi
rors, 1t could remove the minors
disability.
THE assistant attorney general
held, however, that the United
States court in Indian Territory
have only such jurisdiction as is

Ansemic Woman Cured by Or. Will

Pills to All Others Who Suffer.

Anamia is just the doctors name for

cure anRmia as food cures hunger.
They cured Mrs. Thomas J. McGann, Of
II Lincoln Place, Plainfield, N. j., who
says:
"In the spring of 1908 did my
usual house cleaning and soon after
ward began to have the most terrible
headaches. My heart would beat so ir-
regularly that it was painful and there
came morning when l could not get
up. My doctor said I had anemia and
he was surprised that l had continued
to live in the condition l was in.
I was confined to my bed for nearly
two months,~ the doctor coming every
day for the first few weeks, but did not
improve to amount to anything. AL
together I was sick for nearly two
years. I was as weak as rag, had
headaches, irregular heart beats, loss Of
appetite, cramps in the limbs and was
unable to get good nights sleep. My
legs and feet were so swollen that I
feared they would burst.
"Before very long after I tried DR..

very cheaply and have recommended
the pills to lots Of my friends"

Stupedous Railway Enterprises.

III the information conveyed in dis
patch from Paris prove correct, a be-
ginning Is about to be made in the
most stupendous enterprise OF It's
kind ever undertaken. The report
from the French capital Is to the ef
feet that the syndicate represented by
Baron Loicq de Lobel has been au-
thorized, by an order issued by the
car OF Russia, to start operations on
the Trans-Siberian.Alask railroad
project This involves nothing less
than the construction of railroad
line from Siberia to the American ter
ritory OF Alaska by bridging and tun-
neling the intervening waters, includ.
ing BerlBg Strait. Previous statements
that the work is to be financed to the
extent OF $15O.0O0,OOO to 100000, 900
by American and European capitalists
are repeated, and the story has every
indication OF being put forth In good
faith. AS has already been shown,
says the Troy Times, should the pro-
1ected line be carried through 1t
would mean the possibility of riding
without change of cars from any rail-
road center in the United States to
the capitals of Europe. With the tun.
mel under the English channel and the
completion of the three Americas"
system in this hemisphere, one will be
able to go by rail from remote points
In South America directly to London.
And with the carrying out OF the
Cape to Cairo" scheme in Africa
there may be through route from
the Horn" to Good Hope. Who
knows?
