DO WELL WITH THEIR FARMS
Canadian Indians in the Province of Saskatchewan Both industrious
 and Prosperous.

The Indians of the great Canadian prairie province of Saskatchewan are disproTing the theory that an Indian won't work unless he has to. They are becoming industrious and pros porous.
 There are nearly 5000 Indians in the province and last year they had about 5000 acres under crops. They raised 150572 bushels of grain and roots and s6,OOoO tons of hay, worth s136.023.
 The department of Indian affairs reports that the Indians are turning more and more to the soil for a liy. ing. The agent of the Assiniboine agency. which may be regarded as typical. writes:
 T was greatly pleased to find that the area under crop was almost double what it was She year before The band had about 600 acres of wheat and 200 acres of oats. The Indians of this agency are beginning to farm on large scale, and if they continue to do as well as they have in the last two years there will be some good sized farmers among them. One man had l55 acres in crop and another 125 acres and several had 70 acres each. There was decided improvement in The way the land had been farmed."

THE MARKED TREE
 ELECTION CHARGES
President Miller of Levee Board Makes Affidavit Charging the CarlLee Statement as Being
 False.

The Star recently containeu statements m the legislative re- port in which Representative Elmo CarlLee charged bad case of ballot box stuffiug at Marked Tree precinct. Pointsett county, by Attorney General Norwood s friends.
 It now appears from reports that all there is to the case is that Mir. CarlLee tried to do some crooked work there against MT. Norwood.
 CarlLee charged that at Marked Tree 500 votes were stolen from Andrews and given to Norwood.
 The official vote at Marked Tree gave Andrews 355 and Nor wood ".
 Capt. w. B. Miller, president of the St. Francis Leyee Board , immediately following the Carl Lee statement, made affidavit to his part in the controversy as fol- lows:
 ITO the General Assembly of
 Arkasas:
 II, w. B. Miller, of Marked Tree, Poinsett county, Ark, hay ing learned of the statements Of Hon. Elmo CarlLee, made on the floor of the house of representa- lives Tuesday afternoon, April 27, 1909, do make and publish this affidavit:
 ''I understand that Mr. Carl Lee sad that 500 votes were stolen from Andrews and given 10 his opponent, Norwood, ih the Mark ed Tree voting precinct, and on learning this fact. he, as the rep resentative of Andrews, came to see me about the matter and that I promised 10 have the wrong lighted, but failed to do so.
 "This statement is absolutely false. The facts are that l was at all times during the campaign friend and supporter of An. drews, and the vote in Marked Tree was decidedly in favor of Andrews, as he we'll remembers, but Nor woods majority was sufficient to overcome Andrew $ majority at Marked Tree.
 "A few days after the election SarlLee visited me at Marked Tree and requested me to change the vote of the county so as to give Andrews majority.
 ''l told him would not do so If could and could not do so if 1 would. When he or anyone il- inmates that any vote was stolen from Andrews and given to Nor wood in Poinsett county in the last primary election, 1 denounce the statement as deliberately and unquali6edly false

 In her report of "Civics" Miss Enc of Van Buren urged all of the members of the federation to observe civic day, March 10, each year and advocated the buying of lands now for forest reserves, while the land is cheap. Miss Emo also advocated the marking of all unmarked soldiers graves iu the state with boulders in or der that they might, not become lost.

The run today is 3O,OOO head, market steady to d shade lower, nothing quoted more than 10 lower today.

Heavy supply of Montana and Dakota range steers are going to the Northern markets now, and as long as this run is liberal, killers will be more or less inde- pendent, although they are fore ed into activity here to a certain extent by the large demand for stock and feeding cattle, Mis- souri feeders paid up to $6.25 for choice Aeshy feeders last week, and a good many feeders have gone out at $500 to $5.75, stockers up to $4.75.
 Sheep runs have been larger lately, supply last week 5O,O0O head, and 5000 here today.

A PITIFUL WARNING.
By EDWIN A. NYB

A PITIFUL WARNING.
Abner Smith, the wrecker of the
Bank Of America, Chicago, and for
ten years circuit judge in that city,
is now a convict in the Joliet peniten-
tiary.
He voluntarily knocked at the door
Of the big bastile and asked to be ad-
mitted
When he learned the supreme court
had denied his last appeal. Smith. in
order TO avoid publicity. quietly left
his home by the back door and, unob-
served, went TO the railroad station
and thence 10 Joliet.
What had he done?
Why should the gray haired judge.
so long honored by his fellow men,
slouch through back alleys TO take up
his life as a convict?
Crooked banking
That is to say. this was the crime on
which he WAS held to the grand jury
and convicted. But really Smith was
guilty Of
Speculation.
He speculated on the board Of trade
while he was on the bench, and when
he went into banking the fever Of
speculation was still in his veins.
The judge was found guilty OF fraud
and deception as a banker. He was
sentenced for that crime. But his real
crime was
Speculation.
The court could not punish Smith for
speculating. because there is no law on
the statue books against that kind
Of gambling. Nevertheless speculation
created the necessity for the other
crime.
Warden Murphy says the case Of
Smith has no parallel in the ANNALS Of
the penitcntiary. Never before has a
jurist Of the dignity of Smiths posi-
tion been sent TO state prison.
II was a triumph of justice.
Strong innuences intervened in be
half of the banker judge. There was
a long legal fight. but finally Justice
that justice this stern judge so often
I evoked for others-overtook him.
1t was pitiful-
Pitful when this old man stood at
the threshold of his home and took a
last sweeping glance at the familiar
things Of thirty years residence,
kissed his old wife goodby and then
/ walked heavily away.
Pitiful. but another warning against
the insidious tempter-
Speculation
II was pitiful when the wife stood
at that back door. voiceless and be
reft gazing with unseeing eyes at the
evidences about her Of fifty years of
happy married life.

Pitcher Walter Manning. the young
slab artist Of tho New York Yankees,
has at last rounded into form and is
again shooting over twists and slants
that are puzzling the best batsmen in
the American league. Manning when
in condition is regarded as one Of the
most dangerous speed merchants in the
league TO face and is one that can be
relied upon to make the heavy sluggers
Of the Detroit Tigers fan the air, as
was shown i'm recent game against the
league champions. As a spitball singer
Manning ranks among the best in the
profession. He uses II in such way
that the man at the bat cannot tell
when the vapor pellet is coming. The
Yankee star uses slippery elm tablet
to moisten his mouth and also to bring
out the slipperiness that causes the
ball, TO turn somersaults and other
funny antics from the box to the plate.
