Interior, in an opinion rendered
February 2I, 1905, affirmed in an
opinion rendered November II.
1905, and reafirmed September
70, 1906, said:
! THE treaty right (referring
to the Treaty of I83o) was to the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations
land their descendants. Descend
ants, as pointed out in the case
of James w. Shirley, is term
of wider significance then heirs,
or legitimate issue, and includes
those springing from an ances-
tor whether legitimate issue or
not The descent of the appli-
cants is fully and indubitably
shown to be from Charles Perry,
a Chickasaw by blood, recogniz-
/ ed by him and born of a union
that he and Eliza evidently re-
garded as a lawful one, openly
avowed and by the Chickasaw
Nations tolerated, which it did
not compel him to abandon or
impose the penalties of its laws
upon him for contracting and OBJ
serving. The law properly
enough imposed no penalty or
contamination OF blood upon the
innocent issue of such a union.
I am therefore clearly of the
opinion that the applicants are
entitled to be transferred to the
roll of Chickasaws by blood" "
Section a of the Act of Con-
gress approved April 26, 1906, is
as follows:
"Sec. 4. That no name shall
be transferred from the approx
ed freedmen, or any other APP
proved rolls of the Choctaw,
Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek, or
Seminole tribes, respectively, to
the roll OF citizens by blood un-
less the records in charge of the
Commissioner to the Five Civi-
lized Tribes show that such ap-
plication for enrolment as a citi-
zen by blood was made within
the time prescribed by law by or
for the party seeking the trans
fer, and said records shall be
conclusive evidence as to the fact
THE rolls to be made and ap-
of such application, unless it be
shown by documentary evidence
that the Commission to the Five
Civilized Tribes actually receiv-
ed such application within the
time prescribed by law"
This act worked hardship in
that, while it did not destroy a
right which belongs to this class
of persons, it did destroy the
remedy for the wrong. The rec
ords which that provision makes
conclusive are entirely silent
with reference to this class of ap-
plications; no record of the act
ual testimony in these cases
were preserved; again, the writ
ten application presented by this
class OF persons were returned to
said persons because of any mo-
dicum of Negro blood, however
great an admixture of Indian
blood Herewith it was to the
Commission, so tainted that the
applicant could not for any legal
reason be enrolled as a descend
ant of a Choctaw or ChiCkasaw
Indian; consequently, there are
no records of applications of this
class of persons in the archive of
the said Commission, and cannot
as is required by said provision,
be produced in order to be trans
ferred from the Freedmen to the
Choctaw and Chickasaw rolls.
The condition OF this class of
persons has been passed upon by
the Federal Courts and it has
been determined by these courts
that, no matter how meritorious
the claim, the courts cannot
grant relief; that the remedy

And this should be the test ap-
piled in cases of this kind.
The question of legitimacy, ,un-
der any fair or rightful interpre-
tation of the treaties and laws
upon which the rights of these
claimants are based, cannot en-
ter into these contentious.
In the case of Wall VS.. Will
hanson III Alabama, 83o) which
was a Choctaw case, it was held
that the mere living together of
a Choctaw man and woman con-
stituted a valid marriage, and
that the abandonment of the wo-
man by the man constituted a
valid divorce, and that the chill
dren were legitimate.
In this case the testimony con-
clusively showed that such was
the custom of the Choctaw Ma
ton, and it is we'll known to ev-
cry person familiar with condi-
tons in the ChOctaw and Chick
asaw Nations, that this was the
custom down to the time the
Commission began its work. Tn
, the case of Wall VS.. Williamson,
reported in the eight Alabama
Reports, the court says, in refer
ring to the tribal laws and Gus
toms relating to and controlling
marriage and divorce among the
ChoctaWs:
Whatever may have been the
ion his wife, and thereby to dis
solve the marriage if both had
become residents of Alabama. af-
ter the tribe had departed from
its limits, it is very clear that the
marriage by the Choctaw law as
given to the marriage by the
same law. By that law it ap-
pears the husband may at pleas
ure dissolve the relation. His
abandonment is evidenced that
he has done so. We conceivt the
same effect must be given to this
act as would be given lawful de-
cree in a civilized community.
dlssolving the marriage. Howev-
er strange it may appear at this
day that a marriage may thus
easily be dissolved, the Choctaws
are scarcely worse than the Ro-
mans, who permitted the hus-
band to dismiss his wife for the
most frivolous causes" (Story,
Conf. Of Laws, 1907
This decision was adopted by
the Supreme Court OF the State
of Missouri in determining a
similar question and the same
general proposition has been ad-
hered to by many other State
courts, there being no exceptions
that we have been able to find.
Many of these persons were
legally and lawfully married un-
der the laws of the United States
and many more were legally and
lawfully married under the laws
of the Choctaw Nation, but the
records of their marriages can
not now be produced because no
records were kept If by their
failure to produce these marriage
certificates their children are
rendered illegitimate, then the
great majority of the people of
the Choctaw and Chickasaw Ma
tions are illegitimate, Tor they
cannot produce marriage certifi-
Gates or court records, and but
few even know the import of a
marriage license.
Laws were enacted by the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations
purporting to regulate marriage
and divorce, but each and every
enactment is deficient and lack
ing in all the essentials of a posi-
tive law. No penalties are pre-
scribed for violation of the laws.
It is not provided that a mar
riage contracted contrary to the
terms of the law shall invalid or

Earth,n Magnetic Poles.

The magnetic poles of the earth are
two points nearly opposite of the
earth's surface where the dip Of the
magnetic needle is exactly 80 degrees.
The statement usually made that a
freely suspended magnetic needle, re-
mote from magnetic masses. tends to
point due north and south, is not cor
rect except for a few localities and
certain times.
The actual nature Of the earth's
magnetic field must be found by ex-
tended experiments which are being
carried on by many scientists, largely
under the direction of this and other
governments. 1t is field that offers
great opportunities for scientific re-
search, particularly since the discov'
cry Of the north pole.

BILE that more plants will be acquired
later.
The work ON the power plant at
Cannon Falls is trifle further along
than on the Rapidan plant. The same
construction company is building it,
and the work has proceeded to the
point where the Golfer dams have
been put down. Two powerful plants
near Saltwater are furnishing sutfi-
cient power for the present, at that
end of the line.
The plants at Rapidan and Cannon
Falls are to be the ends of very
nice circuit, that is to take in all of
the intermediate cities and villages, for
business. When the work is com
pleted, it will be known Just what
water power will be had, but to guard
against lack of water power in times
of extreme low water, auxiliary steam
plants will be provided. These will
probably be the present plants furnish
ing electricity in the different towns.
Whether any reduction in the price
of electricity can be made cannot be
determined until after the power plants
have been completed and are put into
operation. The Consumers Power
company has been and is at great
expense in constructing the power
returns on this investment, but it is
a broad guaged concern, and if a re-
dnction in the tolls will give such an
increase to the business as to more
than overcome the loss from the cut
in prices. it can be counted upon
to adopt that plan which will work
out the best.

Omaha Will Most Likely Extend Paw
ing to the Bridge.

Division Superintendent l.. I. Shaker
of st. James was i'm the city yesterday
afternoon for short time. arriving on
the 4:45 p. IN. train and departing
for st. James at eight o'clock. He met
with President Thompson of the board
of public works and several other
officials and business men and the
matter of the Omaha road having
Main street paved at the crossing as
far as the bridge was taken up and
talked over. Mr.. Shepley. one of the
paving contractors, was present at the
conference.
Mr.. Shaker was shown the work that
has just begun, and agreed that his
company ought to extend the paw
ment to the bridge, and gave assurance
that it would do so.
The other roads will also be asked
to extend the pavement across their
tracks, and it is believed thai they
will be glad to do This, and complete
the paving to the bridge. This will
give far better appearance 20 The
street, besides complying with The gen
orally expressed wish of the residents
of Mankato.
