INDIAN FUND GRAB.
Committee Uncovers Timber Barons'
Operations Of Reservation Lands.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 90
The senate committee on Indian affairs
uncovered a fine mess In connection
with timber operations on the Indian
reservation lands in the Lake Superior
country. The operations have been
carried on under technical rules pre-
scribed by law. but are interpreted and
construed by the interior department
in such q manner as to bring forth
the following charge in the report on
the Indian appropriation bill. which
was printed today:
1.-The result of the guardianship OF
the government over the estate and af-
fairs of these Indians seems to have
been the protection and fostering of
the interest of the banks and lumber
companies rather than the interests of
the Indians"
An examination of the report shows
substantially that the big lumber COM
panies have been using the Indians
own money to buy the timber on the
Indians lands. Sales from individual
allotments were made to such an ex-
tent that a fund had accumulated
to the amount Of $543,625S5 This
money is deposited in various national
banks and held by lumber firms.
Lumbermen Control Banks.
The banks are controlled by the
lumber companies, and through the
Vaccinations of high finance along the
general plan by which syndicates inside
the big instance corporations worked
deals with other peoples money. Oper-
atoms thus far have not been expensive
to the financiers. The Indians how
ever, have been mulcted more success
fully than the most hardened magnate
would dare to dream of in the case of
white bank depositors or policyhold-
ers
1t is proposed to insert amendments
in the Indian bill to prevent con-
tinuation of the grating abuses. 1t Is
proposed also to permit the Indian. I'M
der proper supervision, to cut and
manufacture his own timber into lum-
Der and so give him experience and
prepare him for the time when the
government must relinquish all guar
dianship over him.

the great composers, chiefly oratorios
and other large choral works. A board
Of directors was elected and Mr.. Fritz
Finke was made the conductor He
held that position for about fifteen
years, when he was succeeded by Mr.
Joseph Pache, who is now director of
the society.
The first performance by the Ora
torio society was given on May r.
1881. 1t was given in the armory of the
Fifth regiment, and Haendel's "Mes-
siah'' was selected for that occasion.
The chorus of the society at the first
concert consisted of $50 voices and the
concert proved a remarkable success.
In the following year the society was
invited to New York to cooperate
with the oratorio societies of that city
and Brooklyn in singing Haendels
Israel in Egypt"
The next year the society became
even more ambitious and arranged a
grand musical festival under the direc-
ton of Theodore Thomas, and with full
orchestra and several soloists, among
them Madame Materna. In the spring
of 1885 the society gave a grand musi-
cal festival which lasted three days,
April 80, May l and May 2. Theodore
| Thomas and his orchestra were again
engaged, also a number of prominent
ma Jush, Max Heinrich and others.
| Since then the society has produced
| a large number of the best choral COM
| positions at it's concerts and has won
an enviable reputation as an organiza-
ton devoting it's efforts to the best
| there is in music.

CALUMET, Mich, April 26.-An

throughout Hancock yesterday and was
most pronounced in the Quincy mine,
where it killed one man and injured
four others who were working one mile
below the earth's surface.
In numerous instances buildings
rocked, chimneys fell and dishes rat
tied, terrifying citizens and causing
scores to rush from their homes. Many
miners on the day shift refused to go
below again.

How to Tell Pure Milk.

When milk is skinned or watered It
is of thin blush color. To cover this
defect coloring is resorted to. If you
are suspicious of your milk supply, let
a sample Of it stand In a clear glass,
say twelve hours. Then carefully OBJ
serve the watery and the creamy layer.
If the lower layer is yellow artificial
cOloring matter has been employed.
Cream low or deficient in butter fat
may also be detected. A little vinegar
added to the heated cream or milk pro-
duces in the curd distinct orange col
or if an aniline dye has been used to
give the cream apparent richness. If
caramel or annatto has been used the
curd will have a brOwnish color. The
curd Of the pure cream should be near
ly white.
To detect the use of a preservatIve
keep the milk In a warm place for
forty-eight hours. If the sample is
still sweet at the end Of this time the
presence Of preservative is strongly
indicated.

Wife Should study Her Husband.

understand how important it is for
them to study their husbands, and new

paid if they do so, and if they try to
realize that they are one, yet with two
different natures, and see if they can
not make the new nature part Of their
own, and adapt their ideas to each
other.

Change of Work Profitable.

A writer in a Baltimore paper tells
of two school teachers who took up an
abandoned farm near a summer resort,
raised honey and ducks and in a few
years saved money enough for one Of
them to marry and support a husband.
The husband had his smoking and bill
lard room so arranged that he was
not annoyed by the cackling of the
ducks, and the success of the venture
in every respect proved that abandoned
farms are much to be preferred to
school teaching.

Month in which to Marry.

Girls who are to be married this fall
may be interested in the rhyme for
autumn weddings:
Married in gold September's glow,
smooth and serene your life will

Married when leaves in October thin,

Married in wells of November mist,
Fortune your wedding ring has

Married in days of December cheer,
Loves star shines brighter from
