This Outrage" has been per-
petrated on the orphans of the
late Charles Bluejacket, by an
official of the Federal Govern
ment, sent into the Quapaw
country for the alleged purpose
of protecting the Quapaw Indi-
ans and their interests. We UNI
derstand that lie tries to defend
his nefarious action in procuring
the deed to the Bluejacket allott-
ment, by saying that he had TAX
en- the matter up with his super
Tor officers, the Honorable At
torney General of the United
States and the Honorable Secre-
tary of the Interior, and that they
agreed to his procuring deed to
the land, in the way he did. IL
this be true, then it would APP
pear that the persistent rumor
of a gigantic conspiracy among
the officials of the Departments
of Justice and Interior depart
ment Of the Federal Government
might have the facts behind, it,
to verify its circulation, in which.
the censpiratorS are very active
in blackening the good name and
reputation of the men and COM

money to make the lead and zinc
deposits so attractive as to cause
these parties to enter into such a
damable conspiracy. invoking the
powerful aid Of the National
Government, by their official posi-

Quoting the campaign in order to
accomplish the nefarious designs
of the conspirators, to procur
deeds to the lands of the Quapaw
Indians for pittance.
1t is not conceivable to think
that high officials, even reaching
into the Presidential Cabinet,
could be associated with such a
deal Buff it's true, and We
understand their official repre-

no rascal should escape, and no
official position or political party
should be tolerated to stand in

URGED TO ENTER.
Principal Brown of High School Sends
Out Notice OF the Annual State
Tournament
TO PLAY SEMI-FiNALS HERE
Basketball Teams of Illinois Associa-
ton Will Try for Championship
Must Live Up to Rules.

Principal H. e. Brown of the high
school, who is the secretary of the
Illinois high school athletic associa-
ton, today sent out about 500 letters
to the principals of the graded high
schools throughout the state calling
their attention to the basketball tour
nament which the association is hold
ing this year. Last year the first tour
nament held by the organization was
so successful and so many schools sig
nified their intention of entering teams
this year that it was found advisable
to hold a series of semi-finals in diff
ferent points throughout the state in
stead of making all the teams go to
Oak Park. where the finals will be
played off.
VIII Play Here.
The semi-inals will be held at this
city, Decatur, Oak Park and Centralia
and all the teams belonging to schools
which are members of the association
are eligible to enter for the semi
finals. Teams from Kewanee, Gales
burg, Monmouth. Moline and several
other schools are expected to enter
the tournament and play their first
games here.
The preliminary tournaments will
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-01-29

be held on Feb. 10 and 90 The local
high school gym will be used for the
semi-finals here and suitable halls will
be provided in the other meeting
points. The school which conducts
each of the preliminary tournaments
will receive 40 per cent of the gross
receipts which will be used to pay for
such expenses, as advertising and
other expenses which will arise OF
the remainder, 10 per cent. will be set
aside for the association and the rest
will be divided among the visiting
teams in the proportion to their ex-
penses incurred in coming to the meet
ing points.
Locals Out for HOnOrs.
The local school was second in the
race for state honors at the tourna-
ment held at Oak Park last year in
which some of the best teams in the
state were entered and the students
expect to come as close if not closer
to carrying off the trophy this time.
1t is possible that the two best teams
in Cook county will be allowed to en-
ter the finals of the tournament this
year, although Cook county is not in
the association.
In the circular letter which Mr.. Brown
sent out to the schools in regard 10
| the tournament, he also calls atten
| ton to the rules of the association
| which prevent schools belonging to
the association from playing with out
| side schools, and it is his intention to
hold them strictly to the rules as this
seems to be the only way to force the
schools which are yet out ofxit into
the fold.

State Agricultural Commissioner, M.
c. Rankin, has issued an open letter to
the tobacco growing poolers of LOGO and
1907, urging upon them the necessity
of standing together with the men who
are managing the pool of the present
year.
The Commissioner suggests that the
Boards of Control for the several coun-
ties of the hurley district call mass
meetings to get from the old poolers an
expression that will allow the Burley
Society to use whatever money there is
in the treasury in furtherance and pro-
motion of the society's interests.
Hawesvile was full of tobacco grow
ers yesterday, who, at p. M, ratified
the sale of the 1909 pooled tobacco to
Messrs. Clark and Nave, of Greensboro.
The prices are from So to IS for leaf and

at Lewisport aud Hawesville and will
begin in about two weeks-possibly on
next Monday week. The ratification
vote was unanimous. The meeting ex-
pressed confidence in Henry Berry.

unusually careful in regard to his con
duct and associations. When not EN-
ployed nor at church or Sunday School
he was usually about home. He was
never married and never seemed to care
much for social pleasures. He loved
home and was interested for the well
fare and happiness of his friends. After
his father became afflicted he was faith
full to wait on him and comfort him. He
had high sense of honor. After the
death of his father quite heavy secur-
ity debt fell on the family. Out of re-
spect for the family, he and his brother
paid the debt, though they could have
evaded the law if they had been dispos-
ed. He was faithful to provide for the
comfort and happiness of his mother in
her widowhood. Not only was he
careful about the necessities of the
home, but he provided for her to con.
tribute literally to her church as was
her custom before bis fathers death.
He expected soon to take her where he
could be with her more and enjoy her
association.
He was always faithful to the inter-
ests OF those with whom he was en-
ployed. AT the time of his death he
was fagman on the Iron Mountain X 9.
r. His run was from Memphis to Little
Rock. In preparing to start their train
in the yard at Little Rock, he was try
ing to make coupling work properly
while the train was in motion. Watch
ing the coupling instead of where he
put his feet, he got his foot fastened in
the guardrail and being unable to ex-
tract it in time, two cars passed over
his legs, crushing them, but leaving
his body comparatively uninjured
The accident occurred at 11:50 a. m. =,

the time of the accident until death.
him he inquired of one of the men if
their train had been protected. When
asked if he had any requests to make
he asked his roommate and friend, Mr..
G. T. Harvard, to notify his friends of
his condition, and requested him to see
to it that no whisky should be given
to him nor used about him in any way.
At 2:l5 on the same day of the accident
he peacefully fell asleep. His friend
prepared his body tor transportation
and burial, and with the brother, ac-
companied it to Stephensport, arriving
on Sunday Nov. 81. On Monday fol-
lowing, the writer, assisted by the pas
tor, Rev. +. r. Roberts, conducted the
funeral, using for our scripture founda-
ton Fec and Rev.-2-10. Not
withstanding the threatening weather
quite congregation of friends attend
ed the funeral. At the close of the SER
vice it was raining so hard that the in
terment was postponed until Tuesday
morning, when the body was laid to
rest beside his father.
