The Fourth.

Goldie, in Wayne Democrat: OF
course the record of deaths and acct
dents from the deadly fire cracker is
same as usual. By dad, never could
see any sense in it, and have been
scolded a good deal for not giving
my children chance to be blown to
pieces or die from powder burns, but
any person with horse sense ought to
know, when the terrible experience
of hundreds of others is put before us
every year, that gun powder and dyna-
mite should have no place in a Fourth
of July celebration. Think of that
prominent, no doubt intelligent man of
Louisville, KY, picking up a giant
hrecracker to see why it didn't ex-
plode! 1t is remarkable what dam
phules the American people are on
this tirecracker proposition. The suf-
fering Of one poor, little child ought to
be sufficient cause for the courts to
stamp it out instanter, and yet, when
July 4th comes round we know there
are to be about so many with fingers,
hands or eyes blown out, and no eff.
fort is made to prevent the slaughter
of the innocents.

mand of the Dakota insurgents headed
by State Chairman Cook and United

things in it, and he did not believe

against the bill as a notice to the con.
ferees to make further reductions.
Senator Cummins of Iowa, was the
first senator to follow La Toilette in
declaring to the senate in advance of
the roll call that he would vote against
the bill. Dolliver remained silent dur
ing the closing debate, but he voted
just as loud as did Cummins against
the bill.
Bristow of Kansas, was the first in
surgent on the roll call to cast his
vote against the bill, and he was fol.
lowed in quick succession by Brown
and Burkett, of Nebraska, who had
supported many of the most important
senate amendments to the bill, includ-
ing the corporation tax, but who could
not resist the pressure of the other in
to finally oppose the senate
bill. Clapp and Nelson of Minnesota,
and Beverage of Indiana, were the
other insurgents of ten to vote with
the democrats.

Emerson, Neb., July 1O.-Two chill.
dren of P. T. Watson, who live four
miles east of Emerson, were burned
to death. The father and mother
were in Emerson and the oldest boy,
Pendel, aged 10, poured some kero-

Walter, aged ~, carried the two chill
dren, aged Is months and years,

TRUST PERIOD EXTENDED.
Omaha Indians VIII Not be Given
Titles to Their Lands,


Pender, Neb., July 10.-The original
twenty-five-year trust period on the
Omaha reservation lands was about to
expire this year, whereby the Omaha
Indians would have come into posses
sion of the absolute fee titles to heir
allotments, but a telegram received
Thursday from Washington announces
that the same has been extended for
ten years by the president of the
United States. This prevents quite a
large amount of land from becoming
taxable next year in Thurston county.
Also 1t is said, that many persons had
made contracts with Indians in antici-
patton of the issuance of their final
patents, expecting to buy their lands.
Under the allotment acts all such con-
tracts are absolutely void and unen-
forcible. If any money has been paid
on such contracts 1t is not only not
possible to enforce the contract, but
it cannot be collected back. 1t is sup.
posed that the eagerness of the land
spectators in attempting to purchase
the lands before the expiration of the
trust period had much to do with
bringing about the extension just
granted.
