and she started at the head of the
nation and subjected President Taft
to a severe. castigation because he
failed to come up to her expectations
and then she went through the re-
publican party as a whole. you have
ten hell holes in Mitchell, l UNDER
stand" said Mrs. Nation. "And who
put them there-your republican
party, and what an awful outrage
was perpetrated on this community
and how much the republican party
will he called upon to answer for in
the future. And who is the republican
party-why you voters who sit in the
amen corner of the church and pray
one way and vote another. Why the
church member walks out of the
at the polls and both stick their lit
tie ballot into the box and vote for
the same thing. The midnight assas-
sin can cut the throat of your boy but
he can't get his soul, but the saloon
can entice him into the den of vice
and there put an end to his exist
ence."
Mrs. Nation also attacked mem
bers and pastors of the Methodist
church and the organization of the
Anti-Saloon League. Her structures
along these two lines did not find
much favor with the supporters of
the two. She declared that the Anti
Saloon League was an actual menace
to the cause of the prohibition party,
and that it managed to get into the
churches where it could collect some
money, and this was done through
the 'ypocritical lead Of some retired
preacher. Local option she declared
was a makeshift and simply held OF
the coming of prohibition. She de-
clared that the republican party con-
tanned more rotteness, corruptness
and immortality than any other party
of the world. and that every republi-
can voter was a dagger that>threaten-
ened the life of our children.
Mrs. Nation spoke for about two
hours and she certainly gave the peo-
pie their moneys worth II it was SEN
sa%tionalism they were after. She
closed the evening by selling her
hatchets and books, and there was q
good big sale tor them.

EXPRESS RATES STAY Up
Judge Garland Defeats Attempt OF
Legislature to Make Horizontal
Reduction Throughout the

Sioux Falls, March "a decision
handed down by Judge John e. Car
land in the federal court yesterday
afternoon in the express rate case is
a complete knock out for the state
railroad commission in its effort to
fix express rates, and practically ends
the attempt on the part of the rail-
road commission to fix express rates
in South Dakota.
On December IS, 1909, the rail-
road commission issued what is
known as Tariff No. L." which was
to go into effect January IS, 1910.
Before that time the express COM
panies procured a temporary re-
straining order preventing the COM
mission from attempting to put into
effect its new schedule pending a de-
cision from federal court. The rail-
road commission filed a demurrer to
the complaint of the express COM
panies, setting up lack of jurisdic-
ton. This demurrer was argued sew
eral days ago and this afternoon
Judge Garland handed down his de-
cision, the closing paragraph of which
is as follows:
"The words such schedule refer
to the rates established by the act and
the power given is only to change
modify and establish a rate in such
schedule that has been found to be
unjust OF too high or discriminatory.
The legislature certainly would not
have gone to the trouble of establish
ing legislative rates and in the same
law provided that the railroad COM
mission could abrogate them as 20
as they went into effect by making a
new general schedule. 1t seems clear
that the legislature for fear it might
in some case do an injustice by maxi
ing a horizontal reduction in rates
by sections 5 and 6 chapter number
159, intended to provide a remedy to
the express companies or any person
interested to complain in particular
instances of the injustice of the rate
which would be created by the. pro-
visions of section 4. AS the court is
of the opinion for the reasons herein
stated that the board of railroad
commissioners had no authority to
make a schedule for the rates COM
planned Of, it is not necessary to de-
termine whether chapter 159 is valid
or not. The demurrer will be over
ruled, and 1t is so ordered"

as it was rendered in the Indian
tongue.
Mr.. Makey spoke through an inter-
prefer and though the audience
could not understand him, yet every
one was impressed with his earnest
ness and his devotion to the work, for
he spoke as one whose heart and soul
are in the work. He spoke of the
beginning of Y. M G. A. work among
the Indians thirty years ago and of
the progress made in those years. He
spoke Of the plans that the Indians
themselves are making to carry the
gospel message to the tribes farther
west. Those who do this work go
without pay and with no conveyance
and SO must make the journeys on
foot. He spoke also of the fact that
many of the Indians are now using
the English language and that the.
young people are learning English.
so that there is strong hope in the
near future that all the Indians will
have the truth. At the close of the
service a great many took@th oppor-

THE SALOON sMAsnER HERE
Mrs. Garry A. Nation Delivered Her
Sensational Address to Big City
Hall Audience.

lXAII AUOlCAAVCs ~
II Mrs. Garry A. Nation had not
closed her address with a severe and
unnecessary TRADE on the Masonic or
der her effort would have been ap-
preciated for the good which it was
intended to do. There was SO little
use of bringing the Masonic or any
other secret order. into her address
on prohibition that those who were
inclined to accept her statements on
other questions felt that she had gone
a long way to add to her sensational
ism.
Mrs. Nation was greeted by a large
audience, in fact all the seating cap
acity Of the city hall both up and
down stairs, was utilized to accom-
modate those whom desired to hear
her. There were five chairs on the
platform and after Mrs. Nation went
on the stage she waited for a few
moments for the others to be occu-
pied. The applause increased as she
sat there, and finally she came for
ward and introduced herself.
Naturally from her past history of
saloon smashing the people expected
something sensational and they were
not disappointed-it is through her
sensationalism, evidently, that she
secures her supporters for the pro-
hibition party, in whose interests she
is working in this state at the pres
ent time.
"You have read" said Mrs. Ma
ton, ''that 1 am crazy, that l am vul-
gar, that 1 am ignorant. If l am crazy
I would to God every woman in the
world was crazy so far as the saloon
is concerned and do what l have
DONE"
Mrs. Nation told of her experiences
at saloon smashing in Kansas, OF
how the inspiration came to her tc
enter the work; of her experience in
the union depot at Washington, where
she followed the tactics pursued II
Kansas, much of which has been pub
lished in times past and is more o.
less familiar throughout the country
About her grating she said that sh,
had spent most of her money in help
ing others, that $500 had gone int.
a home for drunkards' wives, $3.50
had gone to help the prohibition part.

MUCH GUN HANDLED BY CITY LAST
 TWO YEARS
Report of City Clerk Dis plays Mass of Inter
 esting Figures

During the present administration, which began on June l, 1908, this city has collected through the city treasury more than $1S,000, exclusive of the sale of water bonds, according to the treas urer's report, which is made public to- day.
 The general fund has taken in over Sl3O 900, of which nearly $l00,000 has been derived from real estate tax, street tax, licenses and similar sources of revenue. The city police court has turned in nearly $l0,000 during the period of less than two years, the re mainder of the revenue coming from various irregular sources.
 Since the establishment of the city water department, by the purchase ot the plant of the Pinal Mountain Water company year ago, nearly $oO,OOO has been collected from water rents. During the present administration the expenses have amounted to consld- erably less than the receipts, there be | ing about $2,000 in the treasury at the present time.
 While this is rather a small amount of money to supply the cost of running | the city, a considerable amount oI taxes remain to be collected. The eX penses of running the city have been increased by permanent improvements such as the purchase of the city hall lol for $lO,OOO, the construction of the new fire house at a cost of over $6,OOO, to gether with an expense of over $2O,OOC m the maintenance and improvement of the water works All of these ex penditures, as well as those caused by other minor public improvements, art for the permanent betterment of tho city.
 The present administration will leave the affairs of the city in good shape when the new officials take charge ant will have accomplished much good wort during the term of office which VII soon come to a close.

Three Indictments Yester- day and Several Bills
 Are Ignored
MAKE NO REPORT
 ON GAMBLING BILL
No Indictment Against Col cord Likely-Likely to
 Adjourn Today

Although from the nature of the wit nesses examined before the grand jury yesterday that body spent busy day probing into the alleged violation of the territorial anti gambling laws, no indictments were returned last night and what action this body will take in the matter remains to develop.
 Three new indictments were returned in open court last night and in addi- tion, several cases were dismissed. An indictment charging embezzlement l, was returned against w. R. Jones, whose examination on a similar charge is still pending before Judge Hinson | Thomas.
 Jones is charged with appropriating to yhis own use about $500, the pro- ceeds of the sale of herd of goats ] belonging to man by whom he was employed. He claims that he took the money to satisfy debt and that he had right to so appropriate 1t. He was ordered to appear in court this morning in order that his present bond might be increased.
 Antonio Braud was indicted on a charge of assault with intent to com init murder upon Louis Saenz at Miami several months ago.
 Braud has admitted shooting Saenz but claims that he acted in self defense
 The third indictment was against Ivory Frazer, who was recently indict ed under the name of William Gray The case was referred back to the grand jury by reason of the error in tho indictment and a second bill found against him.
 Three other indictments were return ed on secret file, but as the defendant' are not in custody, their names wer' not made public
 Pete Broka. charged with having held up and robbed an old man on tn, Copper Hill road several months ago was discharged. At the preliminary ex animation, the evidence tended to shov that Broka lured the old man ava, from the city on the strength of prom ise to secure employment for him ant while on the way to Copper Hill, robbed him of about $120. As all of the ma terial witnesses have disappeared, how ever, the grand jury was unable to SC , cure any evidence against the accused and he was discharged.
 Carlos Sanchez and Jose Villalavos both charged with grand larceny, wer discharged.
 Although no formal report has bee made to the court, it is known that Ii , indictment will be returned aoaiust W |, c. Colcord. who shot and killed Jac Lane at Payson, several months agC The evidence tended to show that Co cord acted in self defense and no bi T was found against him. | With the exception of the invest
 gation of gambling and the red ligh e matters and the inspection of the coul s ty offices and buildings, the grand iur - has completed it's work and it is expec l. ed that this body will complete it's wor
 late this afternoon and formally at

 It may be necessary for the gran \ jury to continue in session until Mol 7 day, but even if it should complete 'i

INDIAN |S ARRESTED ON DISTURBANCE
 CHARGE Officers Seek Others Who Made Raid on Home of
 Mrs. Dan Mabin

Believed to be one of number of Indians who created a disturbance at the home of Mrs. Dan Mabin, short distance above town, Thursday night, Ono Tona, or c. 4, as he is known on the reservation, was arrested yesterday and locked up in jail, to await an in Vestigation of the disturbance.
 John Doe warrants have been sworn out for a number of other Indians and further arrests may be made today.
 According to Gene Barrows, who was at the Mabin home at the time of the disturbance, band of drunken Indians appeared at the house late Thursday evening and asked for Mabin. Mabin was committed to the territorial insane asylum some time ago, but the red skins refused to believe that he was not at home and declined to leave the place.
 To frighten the Indians, Barrows fired one shot over their heads, he claims, without accomplishing his pur- pose. As there was no more ammuni- tion, he used the empty shot gun as a club and laid out one of the intruders. The Indians then dispersed.
 Ono Tona is believed to be the In- dian who intercepted the blow from the shot gun, as he was in bad repair when picked Up by the officers.
 But for the fortunate presence of Barrows at the 'Mabin home, it is not | unlikely that Mrs. Mabin and hel daughter might have fared badly in the hands of the redskins, as they arc said to have been very drunk and il an ugly temper.
