Question Indian Statute.


question as to whether or not the
Wisconsin Indian reservations are IN
dian country" aud whether the United
states can prohibit the sale of liquor
therein. was brought up before Judge
Quarles in federal court.
The case was that in which Michael
Hartman, white, and John Kaquatosch
an Indian. are defendants, charged
with having sold liquor to Indians.
The attorneys for the defense set up
that the statute reads Indian coun-
try" and not Indian reservation I"
The act of 1884. the defense claims,
defined Indian country as all land
west Of the Mississippi river. except
Kansas and Missouri and such other
territory to which the Indian title has
not been extinguished AT that time.
1t viii be claimed Wisconsin was a
part OF the northwest territory and
therefore properly comes in unt the
class Of lands to which the indian
title had not been extinguished,
The defense further claims that
this title was extinguished By the
treaty Of 1S4s by the terms OF which
the Indians were to give up their
lands in Wisconsin in exchange for
lands west OF the Mississippi With
that treaty the title of the Indians to
Wisconsin lands ceased, and the status
was not changed when their present
holdings were ceded to them by the
treaty Of 1884. The case will natural
ly question the police power of the
government over the reservation
lands.

Await Governors Action.

An adjournment or ten days was
taken by the legislative committee in
yestigating the question of compro-
missing the suit brought against four
state railroads for back taxes. after ar
rangemonts had been made to submit
further statistics to Governor Mccoy
ern. This data will be arranged by
Prof. F. w Gilman of the University
of Wisconsin. who furnished the in
formation upon which the first suits
were based.
Suit was originally brought for $780,
600 against four roads, the Milwaukee
road, Chicago e. Northwestern. Oma-
ha, the 500 and the Wisconsin Cen
trail. recently merged. Two cases were
brought before the state supreme
court which decided that taxes for
only the last six years could be
claimed. Several of the smaller state
roads paid without contest, among
them the Burlington, $4,000, and the
Green Bay and Western. $4,000 The
other five roads decided to contest the
cases.
In the figures items were included
in the gross earnings of the road
which a recent decision of the United
States Supreme court. in a similar
case brought by the state of Texas,
held Illegal, including receipts from
railroad hotels. warehouses and other
side lines Should these items be
eliminated the aggregate would be re-
duced to about $4,000 It Ia under
stood that this is the amount for
which the railroads are standing out.
Pending the consideration by the
governor OF the new summary to be
prepared by Professor Gilman, the
committee win take no action. The
members are noncommittal concerning
the provisions of their report.

stated above. Mr.. Root had with him
specimens of the honey, combs, ETC.,
which were passed. about among the
audience.
The music furnished by the club
was of an excellent quality, and con-
sisted of piccolo solo by James Jen-
nings of Southport, who played a
medley of familiar songs for an en-
core; also a very sweet solo on the
flute by Mr.. Fallon, and songs by Miss
Ethel Knapp. Selectman Fox arous-
ed a storm of applause by appearing
on the stage as Hey RUDE" with a
banjo, and singing the adventures Of
a RUDE who went to the city and had
all sorts of misfortunes. The act was
very clever and caused much amuse-
ment. At 1880 a very sumptuous
dinner was served the tables being
set twice over to accommodate the
crowd. They were beautifully orna
mented with daffodils, and a large
bouquet of carnations was placed on
the presidents table. After dinner
Rev. A. J. Pencil of the Southport
Methodist church made an eloquent
address. taking for his subject ''The
Rural Problem" which he considered
was one of the greatest problems
confronting our civilization. He
spoke Of the deserted farms in this
state, but said people are mistaken
in regard to the alleged decrease Of
the rural popular. Fifty-nine per
cent. of the people of the United
States live in towns Of less than $500
public. The major part Of the rural
population Is as great now as 1t was
two decades ago. But times have
changed. A century ago family
raised all that it needed on the farm.
He spoke of the privations Of the
Knott family, from which came a
famous college president, and told the
story of how one of the Knott boys,
wishing to go somewhere, and having
no clothes, a sheep was sheared In
the winter time, and bound up in
straw to keep it from being cold, and
that in q week Mrs. Knott had made
O suit of clothes, homespun, for her
boys. Thank God for the New Eng
land mothers. The welfare of the
Republic depends upon the rural
city for the man of the hour. The
great men of the west were born and
raised on New England farms: New
England still holds the lead and raises
more corn to the acre than in the
west. He spoke of going back 10 or

the house. He did not care for Eas-
ton water by the time it gets to
Bridgeport. The farmer Is the resi-
duary legatee of the human race,
for he holds the supply for civiliza-
ton. In this country he raised last
wear 40 bushels of wheat for every
family, or two barrels Of flour for
every individual. High prices are the
result of the lack of farming. 1t is
sad for an individual, or a nation.
when a mans appetite is greater than
his purse. We need more intensive
farming and not more extensive. The
farmer is ever to be the man who will
dole out to the cities their needs.

AcQUIT OFFICERS
Charges Against Chief Executive of Huntington and Hartford
 Officer Thrown 0out.

Greenwood, July Exchanges of non-feasance in office contained in indictments returned by the late grand jury against Dr. J. B. Mos eley, twice mayor of Huntington, and Doc" Booth, constable of Hartford township, fell flat when the cases were heard in the Circuit court by Judge Daniel Hon this morning. Tn both cases the court sat as a jury and dismissed the charges. Dr. Moseley was warmly congratulated by the court for his administration of the affairs of the city of Huntington.
 Dr. Moseley was accused of fail- iiisS to convict hootleggers in Hun tington. It is said that the charge against him grew out of the cases against Hugh Millikin, who is to be tried tomorrow on seven charg- es of bootlegging, having been in dicted this number of times by the late grand jury. pr. Moseley proved that Millikn was convicted and fined three times in his court since Dr. Moseley became mayor of Hun tington.
 Constable Booth was also charg- ed with failing to suppress liquor traffic, but proved to the satisfac- ton of the court that he was doing all in his power to stop the viola tions. Both men were this morn ing reinstated in office and left the court room with a shower of CoII- gratulations.
