The staging of the play. both In the re-

the works of Shakespeare whenever
properly interpreted and presented.
In shortening the comedy to playable
dimensions, Mr.. James in some respects
surprised the audience, for all the story
of the wrong of sweet Anne Page was
left out. and so was Fenton. with whom
she runs away to get married. DR.. Gains,

LANDS ON EIGHT DIFFERENT
RESERVATIONS TO BE OPEN.
F ED THIS YEAR.

TRACT WILL BEGIN NEXT
:; MONTH At PIERRE.

Washington, Sept. 1o.-Uncle Sam
Is planning to distribute homesteads
in Indian reservations of the West to
about $4,000 homeseekers during the
next year. This will be the biggest
distribution he has made since he
threw Oklahoma open to settlement.
The land to be opened up is located on
eight different Indian reservations
and nearly all of it is regarded rs
first-class for farming purposes.
While the regulations for its dispo.
sal are out only for one reservation
thus far, it has been decided to open
all the tracts by the lottery system.
This has been tried twice by the gov.
eminent and works admirably.
Square Deal for All.
1t precludes any trouble over con.
tests and apparently satisfies every
body who secures a ticket to the lot.
terry whether he is lucky or not. A
loser knows that he had fair show.
The reservations to be opened, with
their acreage follows:
Occur d'Alene, Idaho, 100000 acres.
Colville, Washington, 100000
acres.
Flathead, Montana, 100000 scres.
Lower Brule, South Dakota, 5G,560
acres.
Rosebud, South Dakota, $4,000
acres.
Yakima. Washington, 1,145,000
acres.
Lemhi, Idaho, $4,000 acres.
Blackfeet, Idaho, 100000 acres.
This makes q total of 4,91O,360
acres.
Open Lower 6ruIe First.
The first reservation to be opened
will be the, Lower Brule, in South Da-
kota, with it's $500 acres. The land
has been appraised and the regula.
lions issued for it's disposal. Home.
seekers will have until Oct. to file
applications for lottery tickets in the
big drawing which will take place at
Pierre the following week. Each ap.
plicant must go to the Pierre land dis.
trict and make oath OH his ticket that
he is entitled to take public land un.
der the homestead laws. Then, If he
is successful in drawing a farm he
must pay the government the apprais-
ed value Of the land in annual install.
ments. The value is placed at from
$1.25 to 81 an acre.

May Stir Up Ugly Mess.
Washington. Sept. S.-While no I'm
formation of an official character has
reached the state department concern
ing the summary expulsion of sikhs

IDENTIFY expected that if the facts were
as reported in the press Ambassador
Brice will soon be heard from. The
British government takes pride in
protecting the lives and property of
its subjects. so it is expected that as
soon as the British consular officer
who is reported to be looking into the
matter has completed his investiga.
ton and communicated with the Brit.
ish embassy formal complaint will be
lodged with the state department.
Is Embarrassing.
The state department is always en-
barrassed in dealing with incidents of
this character. owing to the fact that
the national government has no au-
thorty to enter a state-even to pro.
tect foreigners treaty rights. All
that the. state department can do in
such case is to address the governor
OF Washington, transmitting perhaps
the complaint of the British embassy,
if there should be one, and requesting
him to take steps to prevent recur-
renee OF the trouble. Probably in the
end claims for damages sustained by
the individuals will be preferred.
May Bring Civil Actions.
If the aggrieved individuals care to
do so, they may bring civil actions
against the municipal authorities at
Bellingham in the local courts, just as
the Japanese restaurant and bath
house keepers have done in San Fran.

partment would very much prefer that
this course he followed. If, however,
it should be found impossible to Sc.

judiciary. then, as was done in the
case of the murderous attacks upon
the Italians in New Orleans some
years ago, the executive will recon.
mend to congress that indemnities be
paid to the victims.

WAS BEST AND BIGGEST fA|0
PROVES AN IMMENSE SUCCESS
IN SPITE OF pIsAGREEABLE
WEATHER.

St. Paul, Sept. 10.-The 1907 Mime
sofa state fair closed Saturday after o
most remarkable record. 1t was the
best and biggest fair ever held in the
country, the only drawback being the
weather, which was the worst Of the
season in some respects. There were
only two days of the six which were
at all favorable, and the way the peo
pie turned out in bad weather, espe
cially on st. Paul day, was the best
possible evidence of the merit of the
exhibition and the permanence 1t has
attained.
The attendance for this year was
approximately 10000 less than it was
year ago. This decrease was prin.
cipally OH the opening day, the fig.
ures for this year being 5000, com.
pared with $3.50 for Monday year
ago. Monday was gloomy day, and
while the weather did nothing but
threaten, 1t was sufficiently unfavora
BILE to keep many people away. Tues.
day was also gloomy and held down
the crowds by about 5000. Wednes.
day was another poor day, being more
fitful, but the record for TIE day was
broken. Thursday, Old Settlers day,
brought GU the second best attend
ance Of the week and showed the best
gain. It was the only pleasant day Of
the fair.
st. Paul day was the banner day Of
the week. 1t rained cats and dogs for
time, but the citizens turned out in
spirited support of the institution,
there being only 1000 less attendance
than year ago.
1t was dark and gloomy Saturday,
but the total attendance of the day
reached fully 10000, as compared With
26,4G6 a year ago.
Although the weather kept down
the attendance end likewise the re.
ceipts, the fair was financial sue.
cess. Secretary G. N. Cosgrove said
that the managers would feel fortu.
nate If the weeks undertaking netted
a gain Of 100000. 1t is confidently ex.
pected that this years fair will clear
at least 100000.

RAY OF HOPE IN PARIS FOR so
LUTON OF THE MOROCCAN
TROUBLE.
LOOMS UP BIGGER EVERY DAY
FRENCH PEOPLE NOW REALIZE
THAT MoMENrous EVENTS
ARE INEVITABLE.

Paris, Sept 10.-A- ray of hope for q
possible solution of the Moroccan
problem came from the Moorish en-,
pire Saturday in the shape OF an an.
nouncement that the tribesmen were
ready to negotiate for peace. Vice
Admiral Philibert confirmed this news
in an Official cablegram, stating that q
delegation from the warning Arabs
had asked Gen. Drude for an armistice
pending settlement Of peace terms.
The armistice was to have expired
yesterday, but the result is not yet
known.
No great expectations are based
upon this announcement, for there is
some suspicion that the move may be
trick of the Moors to gain time to
bring in reinforcements.
Looms Bigger Every Day.
At home the new features in the Mo,
roccan question from the French
standpoint will be found in the opin.
ions Of the German press upon the
question of indemnification for Ger.
man losses that grew out of the bonn
barment Of Casablanca and the effect
OF the project to police Morocco by
France and Spain.
The French nation has suddenly
come to the realization that the Mo.
roccan question looms up bigger every
day. In Paris the situation is now the
main subject Of discussion by the peo-
pie, who feel that momentous events
in which France is bound to play q
leading role are inevitable.
Plans Vigorous Campaign.
Casablanca, Sept. 9.-The armistica
sanctioned by Gen. Drude has been
fruitless, as the delegates of Caid
Mazi, chief Of the Chamula tribe, have
not put in an appearance. Gen.
Drude has planned a vigorous cam.
paign against the natives in case tho
Moors remain obdurate. Natives de.
clare that numerous members of the
tribesmen are encamped at Taddert
awaiting the arrival Of Mulai Hafie
or his representative before making
another attack,
