By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 2.--John Lift of Chi
cago called on the Kane county recorder
at Geneva yesterday and declared he is
not dead, though he had. been declared
legally dead ten years before.
He had been missing twenty-three
years. 81 am much alive" said Lift. Il
don't see how the report got out"
s'It's a little late to deny it now" the
official observed. Maintaining that it was
better late than never, Mr. Lift inquired
concerning some property that had passed
out OF his hands when the court de-
clared him dead. Its value exceeds $780,
600. He secured some data and said he
would return for more.
Mr.. Lift who was resident of Elgin
then, disappeared mysteriously in 1888.
His wife and kinfolk searched for him
high and low, but without success. Mrs.
Lift died in Chicago in 1888 and ten years
ago. Lift having failed to appear, his
relatives took measures to have him de-
clared dead legally ana were successful.
They then divided the property.
It is Mr.. Lifts intention to put in a
claim for all his property. He gave no
explanation for his long absence.

WASHINGTON. Nov 2.-As result OF
the conference at the White House last
night between the president, Secretary
Garfield of the interior. Assistant Secre-
tary of War Oliver and Commissioner of
Indian Agency Leupp regarding the rene
gade Ute Indians on the Cheyenne reser-
walton In North Dakota, a decision was
reached to continue the policy of furnish
ing the Indians with work. and in case of
their failure to take advantage of the OPP
portunity, to leave them TO tner own
resources.
Mr. Leupp pointed out that two oppor-
funities had been given the Indians for
employment In railroad grading, both OF
which had been contemptuously refused
by them
Mr. Leupp's statement was supported by
Indian Inspector Mclaughlin and Super
visor Bagene, who were present. The In
dams take the position that they viii be
cared for whether they labor or not.
1t is now stated that they will be given
one more opportunity to learn their liv-
ing. and 1t Is stated that If they do not
accept this the government will do little
more in their behalf
There are $50 Indians. 200 of whom are
men and boys capable of bearing arms.
Mr. Oliver said there are between 100
and 200 troops on the ground and others
could be quickly dispatched. Troops Will
be kept there for police protection. The
government says the Utes may have work
If they desire it. but that il they make no
effort in their own behalf the government
will not assist them. The Indians have
been paid the annual allowance, SIS per
capita. from their own fund. and 1t Is
understood that this is practically ex-
hausted. These Indians are the same
band which has been making trouble for
the whites for the past forty or fifty
wears.

WI WASHINGTON. Nov. 2.-Despite the
wv fact that President Roosevelt still
adheres to his refusal to accept a
third term nomination, it is probable his
friends throughout the country will be-
come so insistent that he will be given
the nomination regardless of his wishes.
Among those who believe that there is
no power which could force the president
to accept another term there is a great
deal of talk in regard to who will be
selected to lead the Republican parry
during the next campaign.
1t is well known that President Roose-
welt openly backs Secretary Taft, and is
throwing all his influence toward his
choice. Those who are antagonistic 10

Hughes of New York, and many of them

claim the very mention of his name will
blockade any move to nominate the pres
ident's favorite.
So far little has been heard from Hughes
on the subject, but those acquainted with
the COOL calculating lawyer say he has
probably thought out his every move in
regard to the bearing it would have on
the coming selection of candidates, and
that every step he has taken has been
for the purpose of promoting his presi-
Dental candidacy.
In speech recently, Governor Hughes
called attention to number of needed
reforms, but said they should be brought
about without disorder or tumult.''
Those who heard the speech say 1t was
his intention to say something which
would be interpreted as a reflection on the
present administration In frequent ad-
dresses he has stated that he stands for
the rights of the state against the en-
croachments of the federal government.

The committee on taxation of the

ed report at the recent meeting of the
national grange at Denver, in which
these recommendations were made:
That whenever any Of our man
ufactories are using the tariff laws to
enable them to sell their surplus prod
ucts in foreign markets Mt less price
than they are sold at home, thereby
making our own people pay more for
their goods by reason of competition
being prohibited, we demand the re
vision of those laws along the lines
that will prevent such abuses. Under
present conditions it is impossible to
reach certain classes of property for
taxable purposes, and under the laws
as they exist today hundreds of mil
lions of dollars worth of property pay
virtually no tax ut all; therefore, if it
cannot be done otherwise, we favor
changing the constitution of the Unit
ed States in order that graduated in
come tax law may he enacted, which
we believe to be one of the most Just
and equitable of laws, as it enables
tax to be placed upon property that en-
tirely escapes at the present time.
We would advocate that all laws for

An Able Address Made by State Mas
ter George II. Horton.
Michigan is one OF the live grange
states of the Union and always has n
good report to make of itself at its an
nual meetings. State Master Horton in
his annual address said that there were
$50 subordinate oranges. with over 40,
600 members in the state, holding In
the aggregate about 10000 meetings
annually. He referred with justifable
pride to the achievements of the grange
In that state, with particular reference
to the subject of equal taxation and for
pure food legislation. He also referred
to what had been accomplished for
good roads, farm forestry, direct legis-
lation and other questions Of public in
terest. He counseled great wisdom in
preventing the grange organization
from being illegitimately used ITO fur
ther interests which in time may rise
to master us and to turn the grange
from its real lines of usefulness"
We have nowhere seen better state
ment of the position which the grange
should take on public questions than
that from the following paragraph IN
Mr.. Horizons annual address:
The grange occupies a unique position
In the social, educational. economic and
political affairs of our state. Its chief
function Is to discuss and influence or to
create public sentiment for or against,
as its wisdom in council may dictate. 1t
discusses schools and outlines plans with
out entering in upon the actual perform
ance OF conducting schools. 1t encourages
better farming, improved stock. cereals.

Of experiments and demonstrations We
encourage political economy. integrity
and just legislation without organizing or

progress shall guide the conclusions and
