THE GRAND JURY
TAKING A HAND
Springfield Rioters Will be
Made to Answer in Court
Of Law

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE race
war which began here last Friday
night, is believed to be a thing OF the
past. Last night passed without any
untoward incident and It was conf
IDENTIFY asserted today by those in
charge of the situation that no mob
of any size will form from now on.
Sporadic cases of disorderly conduct
may and probably will claim the at
tention of the militia, but it Is not an
ticipated that the troops will be con-
fronted by any serious task.
Springfield today entered upon the
second stage Of its riot history, the
arrest of the guilty parties. A special
ing by Judge James A. Creighton of
the result of conference held yes
terday afternoon between Governor
Charles S. Deenen and States Attorney
Frank Hatch. Both of these officials
are strong in the opinion that this step
should be taken. The grand jury will
be held in session so long as mob
violence is threatened.
Two More Deaths.
Two deaths, due to the violence of
Friday and Saturday occurred at st.
Johns hospital. William Donigan, the
aged colored man whose throat was
cut last night, expired at a. m. Frank
Delmore, who was shot through the
lungs on Friday night, died an hour
later. This brings the list of violent
deaths during the race trouble up to
five.
Deneen's Statement.
Saturday evening Governor DeneeA
issued the following statement:
"It is as intolerable as 1t is ine1.
cusible. The idea of wreakin4
vengance on race for the crimes Of

Cash Endangers Freedom.
From Union Oregon Scout.


The postmaster general has de-
cided that papers have no general
or reliable circulation unless they
are paid for This looks like
blow at he freedom of the press
If the publisher of paper is able
to send it for ten years without
pay aud the subscriber is mean
enough to take it that way there is
no reason why they should not
settl, the matter between them.
We don't see why some one should
not tell the merchant, the doctor
or the lawyer how long they can
extend credit just as we'll as the
newspaper man. While the ruling
will do the publisher favor still
it is blow at the freedom of the
press. There is a stopping place
for all these things and they are
treading pretty close 20 it. Free
dom of the press and freedom Of
speech are the principal defenses
Of American liberty. Any in
fringement upon these two great
principles will be resented in no
uncertain tones 1t is not to a
newspaperman's advantage to ped
die his paper out for years without
any pay but he likes to have the
right to that which he should have
the right to do. This is not beat
ing the government understand.
The publisher pays as much 20 St
age on a paper that is never psid
for as he does on the one paid for
in advance. 1t isn't best for a
COVER, ment to take undue libes ties
with the affairs of it's subjects.

vides for the compensation of settlers

says:
Whereas, the reclaim alton service Of
the United States is now engaged in
the construction of storage works on
Saint Mary's river, ia said state, for
the purpose of diverting the waters
thereof to the head of the said Milk
river, which, when completed, will
greatly increase the flow of said Milk
river and thereby relieve in part the
losses sustained by the settlers by
reason Of the decision of the supreme
court aforesaid: and
Whereas, the settlers upon the lands
aforesaid have entered into an agree
ment with the Secretary of the In.
terror to purchase the waters of said
Saint Mary's river when such storage
works are completed and the waters
diverted as aforesaid at the estimated
price of twenty-five dollars per acre;
now therefore, in order 70 compensate
the settlers upon said lands for the
damages sustained by them through
the aforesaid decision: Therefore be
It enacted that three hundred thousand
dollars be appropriated to be expend,
ed under the direction of the Secretary
of the Interior in the construction Of
irrigation works on Saint Mary's
river, Montana.

The Turtle mountain Sioux are said
to have made claim against the gov.
ernment for 1900, 600 acres of land in
North Dakota, and the claim was set
tied by the authorities granting them
two townships in the Turtle mountain
reserve, q cash payment of 800 &c

right to 100 acres OF public land tina,

about $500 Indian parties to the
agreement the area subject to location
by them will aggregate an enormou,
amount. They have recently received
their cash payment OF 500 for each

land selections.
The conditions that may result from
this movement are causing apprehen
sion among settlers in localities wher'
these Indian land filings are being
made. The new arrivals, it is alleged
will not cultivate the land, and the!
