INDIAN MARRIAGES.

Peculiar Rites Of the Hopi and the
Navajo Tribes.
Marriage among the Topi, tribe of
the Pueblo Indians, is an institution
regarding which those most concerned
have least to say. When the parents
Of girl find it expedient for her to
get married, they look up an available
man and negotiate with his parents.
After the matter has been arranged
the principals are notified. The girl goes
to the home Of the groom's parents
and grinds corn for them for three
weeks, while the groom makes kind
of sash for the bride. Then one morn
ing at sunrise they both battle their
heads in cold water, which completes
the ceremony. There have been in
stances of the groom's refusing to 60
through the performance, which has
then proceeded without him and been
accounted valid, and several weeks
later he has yielded and had his head
bathed.
The Navajo ceremony is much more
elaborate and impressive, but then the

ular tariff on a Navajo girl entering
the port of matrimony for the first
time is twelve horses. On the second
occasion the tax Is nine horses. while
subsequent entries are free.
This is not purchase money, but is
merely a tribute of respect to a
mother-in-law and a token of apprecia-
ton of the care and expense involved
in bearing and rearing the lady, a
recognition not unworthy of considera-
ton by civilized grooms. On the other
hand, and deserving of great condem-
nation, is that law Of many tribes un.
written, but of much sanctity, that a
man and his mother-in-law shall never
| meet after the ceremony.-A. W. Dim

The first was released convict, who
pleaded that to be much among good

plea. Unfortunately his protege car
ried the ethical cure too far, for one
day he decamped, taking with him the
best of M. Sarcey's good books.
The second was a distinctly minor
dramatist, Debrit by name and debris
by nature. He had worn himself into
an tncurable melancholy by persistent
addiction to the humorist vaudeville
habit Sarcey Ssaw that abstinence
from further composition could only be
secured if the man had some light oc-
cupation with living wage. He es-
tablished him in the vacancy left by
the convict. A few days later as the
critic, returning from the theater, drew
his carriage up before his door he
heard smash of shivered glass above
him, followed a minute later by what
he no longer dared to call dull thud
on the pavement below. The woe be-
gone librarian, wearied of life, had
thrown himself out of the window.
With his last breath he cursed Sarcey
as his murderer.

gladstone youth, whose blithe tempera-

IRRIGATION PROJECTS ON THE
SLOPE

H. N. Savage, supervising engineer
of the U. s. reclamation service, and
Geo. E. Stratton, project engineer on
the Williston project, came down
from Washburn Wednesday evening
where they have been Investigating
the proposed Washburn irrigation
project. on which preliminary surveys
have been made by the state engineer.
They report the people very enthusi-
astic over the prospects of irrigating
the Painted Woods fats. The direc-
tor of the reclamation service has
authorized surveys to be made. Ad-
ditional, lands are being subscribed
and the prospects are good for the
development of an irrigation project.
The land owners Of the Oliver county
side OF the river are now signing a
petition to the secretary Of the in
terror asking for surveys by the rec
lamation service preliminary to form
ing a water users association. Up
wards of three thousand acres were
subscribed at the first meeting held
Wednesday, there being unanimous
sentiment for the construction of any
feasible project, &%. 49,, #%
Messrs. ! Savage and Stratton, &C

Preliminary surveys have already
been made on this project by the
state engineer, and it is estimated
that ten thousand acres can be irri

A coral island is sometimes torn to
pieces by great storm, showing that
islands disappear in more ways than
one. This happened to an atoll in the
Marshall group in 1905 when it hap
pened to be in the path Of terrible
hurricane. Waves about forty feet
high swept over the hapless speck Of
land, carrying every particle Of YER
dure and every form Of life into the
sea, and not human being was saved.
The upper part of the coral was bro
ken of and swept away, and a few
days later nothing but the placid wa
tiers of the ocean was seen where the
atoll had stood.

TUBERcULiN TEST OF NO
4 VAL UE- j

9 A valuable opinion regarding the
the tuberculin test for COWS has been
secured from DR.. Villejean, deputy
for the Yonne department, chief
pharma chemist at the Hotel
Dieu, professor at the Faculty of
Medicine at Paris and member of
the permanent commission of preser-
walton against tuberculosis. DR.. Vile
jeans long experience, his studies of
the question in France, England and
Germany, and his high standing in
the medical world, give great weight
to his opinion. He said:

Firstly, when an animal has been
injected first time it does not re-
act on second injection. It would,
therefore, always be easy for a cattle
owner to inject the tuberculin himself
and then bring forward the animal
for sanitary examination, when it
would appear to be immune from the

"Secondly, tuberculin, which will

THE GoMPERS DECISION.

Considerable discussion, some of it
unwise and even dangerous to the best
interests of the country and to society
in general. has been occasioned by
the decision of the supreme court of
the district of Columbia, rendered by
Justice Wright last week, declaring
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison. national labor lead
ers, guilty of contempt of court, and
sentencing them to Jail terms there
for.
The prominence of these men makes
the interest In tn affair much keener
than it would otherwise be, and in
certain circles the convicted men are
being martyrized. An appeal will
be taken to the district court of
appeals, which will require several
months for a review of the case. In
the meantime a move has been made
for president Roosevelt to extend
pardon to the three men, his power

THE TARIFF HEARINGS.

The tariff hearings which have
been in progress for some time in
Washington, to determine upon a
proper course in preparing new
schedules. have at least resulted in
one thing they have brought to the
fore more than the expected amour
of selfshness and greed upon the part
of interested manufacturers in various
lines, all of whom seem willing to
have any old change made that will
cripple some other fellow if only it
will be left so that he can make a
little more out of it. A conspicuous
negie, of the great steel trust, which
has made an enormous fortune from
steel manufactures in a market pro-
tected from foreign competition and
now, when that great corporation has
grown so large and powerful that it
can manufacture its products cheaper
than any other institution of the kind
on earth, advocates removing tariff
protection, which would result in the
Gripping or putting out of business
every independent competing manu-
factory in the United States.
1t also developed in the informa
tion furnished by w. c. Durant, an
automobile manufacturer of Flint,
Mich, that the cost of labor required
in the construction of a $1400 auto
mobile is only 800. Mr.. Durant
was asking the committee to provide
for a reduction Of the duties on i'm
ported automobiles This looked very
magnanimous upon Mr.. Durant's part
until further gu stloning brought out
the information that his company de-
sired to establish automobile factories
in Europe and Canada where they
could operate with cheaper labor.
The statement, that the labor re-
quired to build a $14OO automobile
costs only 800 is decidedly interest
ing, aud one who has visited one OF
these immense factories and seen the
machines being turned out by the
thousands, may readily believe it to
be true. No wonder auto manu-
tacturers become wealthy in a few
years. Illigitimate profits are re.
lated to robbery. Open, legal and in
broad daylight of course but closely
related to robbery, just the same.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1908-12-30

to do so being absolute if he chooses
to exercise it.
This affair all grew out of the
hostility of organized labor to the
Bucks Stove and Range company,
against which a boycott was declar-
ed by the American Federation OF
Labor. The company thereupon Sc
cured an injunction restraining the
labor organization from boycotting
it and thereby greatly injuring their
business. The injunction was not
obeyed and the officers of the
organization were cited to appear be-
fore the court and show cause why
they should not be judged in contempt
because of their violation of the
courts restraining order They
refused to appear and punishment was
the only alternative. To have al
lowed these men to go free under the
circumstances would have brouhgt the
court into disrepute and lewiston and
made a farce of law. If Gompers
and his associates could ignore the
mandate of the court so might any
other individual and the country
would at once take headlong plunge
IN the direction of lawlessness and
anarchy, where only might makes
right.
The boycott, by, which set of men
can enter into conspiracy to wreck
legitimate business, is an institu-
tion which should have no place in
this country. Its twin evil is the
blacklisting Of labor. which is equal
ly damnable, and the man or news
paper which advocates either is teach
ing a dangerous doctrine. The re-
course of these men was an appeal to
higher court, and their failure to do
so was simply to invite the fate they
have met with. Any attempt to show
that free speech has been endangered
or the freedom of the press imperlled
by this decision is far fetched and
ridiculous. The point at issue vas
simply the legality of the boycott.
William J. Bryan, in commenting
upon the matter says:
1T is not my policy to criticise either
federal courts or their action. The commit
ment to prison of men so prominent in the
labor movement is unique in the annals OF
labor history in this country. Until nave
read the courts opinion and considered
the matter carefully can have nothing to
say regardind the case CriticiSing court is
serious r6SOrt6Q when
the basis of the criticism may be miscon-
Strued.'
