sustaining It.
The claim Of Butte runs back over
forty years. In the early sixties he was
employed as a farm hand on the Wells
farm in Grundy county. He had spec
ulatire nature and now and then took
q chance in the Louisiana lotteries
then In the height of their popularity
as speculative ventures, Butte was
lucky enough to win $4,000 AT this,
and Wells invested it for the young
whereby Butte was to pay Wells u stlp-
ulated sum per year for looking after
his property. Iowa land was selling
for almost nothing In those days. and
Wells bought up section after section
in Grundy. kossuth and Emmett coun-
ties. The land advanced as the years
passed, and when Wells died was worth
nearly million of dollars. For some
reason Butte was never able to get u
settlement out of Wells during the lat
ters life He had lost the written con-
tract and probably feared lie could not
prove his claim. Upon the death of
Wells. however. the claim was filed. As
Yet Mr. Butte has received no official
announcement from his attorney, but
is expecting details of the decision at
once. He is a man past GO years of age
and we'll deserves the good fortune that

Tama, Oct. c.--.Reports that come
from the Indian reservation over in
Tama county indicate a disturbed con-
dition of things among the Indians. The
situation verges on an insurrectlon.
There are a number of new laws
and regulations which have been put
in force by the agent, without regard
to the wishes of the Indians The Tama
Indians have always regarded them
selves as superior to most rules and
regulations of the government They
bought their own lands and are their
own land holders and they naturally
imagine that they are government
unto themselves. This disposition has
always stood in the way of the govern
ment officials.
At the present time the rules are es-
pecially being violated as to schools
and school attendance The government
has been making Il new attempt to ed
ucate the Indians. But the schools are
not well attended. One man is author
ity for the statement that there are not
over two pupils in the schools. The rest
of the children live the wild life which
is natural to them. The agent has
caused a number of arrests and there
are several Indians, some of them OF
prominence now in the temporary Jail
which has been built. AS soon as the
arrests were made the agent received
the resignation of all the Indian police
men and there is now no one to keep
order among them. The Indians will not
talk and neither will they obey. They
are doing as they please and there are
threats that they will do something
awful" unless there is let up in the
policy Of law enforcement.
The new agent is spoken Of as q
very determined man. He is no novice
in the handling of Indians. He has been
in that sort of business for great
many years and the government has
sent him among the Tama Indians be-
cause of his experience. There had al
ways been trouble, more or less, and
some of the officials believed it was
due to the fact that the agents had
been men on familiar terms with the
Indians. whom the Indians could cajole
and bully and threaten. The experiment
was therefore made to introduce
among them different form of govern
ment, enforced thru one who would
know indians only as wards of the
government. So far the experiment has
not been all that might have been de-
sired, but they think that In the end
the Indians will have to come under
the rod and submit. Meanwhile the jail
has more inmates than the school has
pupils.

Dubuque, oct. 2.-The st. Vincent de

the 9TH anniversary OF the establish

fifty years of wonderful work that has
been accomplished, according to the
spirit Of the order. quietly and abso-
lutely void of ostentation.
The Sunday services have been pre-
ceded by u three days retreat. con-
Quoted by Rev. Father Thomas DUNN,
superior of the Dubuque apostolate,
and will conclude on Sunday night in
ST Raphaels auditorium. with pro-
gram at which Rev. NJ. NJ Carey, pas
tor of the cathedral, will be chairman
Thomas Mulry, of New York City.
president general OF the st. Vincent
de Paul society, and also president OF
the National Association OF Charities
and Corrections, will be one Of the
speakers on the program on Sunday
night, as will also the vice president
OF the st. Vincent dc Paul society OF
the United States, Mr.. j. L. Hornsby,
of st. Louis.
Fifty years ago the society was
formed in Dubuque, and while the aim
has never been to increase the mem
bership, because those who are not
honorary members, must be active
members in every sense Of the word,
it has been the desire rather to keep
the membership limited to only the
men who will attend regularly the
weekly meetings, and do the actual
work of sacrifice necessary in order
to make the work successful.
During the fifty years since the So
ciety was formed here, thousands Of
dollars have been expended in char
ity, and thousands of personal visits
paid to the homes of the distressed
poor The organization accomplished
the work quietly. and the public is not
informed of the many deeds that con-
stitute the real charity, because accom-
plished silently.
A feature of special interest con-
nected with the 50th anniversary
is the fact that the present president,
John keenan,, of Dubuque, who is to
be on the platform, has served as pres
ident for forty three years, and has
been a member for fifty years. Du-
buque has the distinction of having the
only councils of the society in Iowa.
