WAS REFUSED
Motion to Strike Out Triai Amend
ment 0ver-ruled, However. and
Respondent Granted Brief Delay.

Judge Hopkins yesterday afternoon
refused the plea Of Benpamin Kowal-
ski to intervene in the election
cases.
The motion 20 strike out the trial
amendment, which was introduced at
Saturdays session was oyer-ruled.
The attorneys for the respondent, A.
b. Cole asked the court to be allowed
TO withdraw their announcement of
ready for rial and file a motion ask
ing for continuance. They were
granted until 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
The admission Of this amendment
will allow the introduction Of evil
dence showing that instructions were
given by the presiding officers in
some of the wards that illiterate
voters who presented themselves and
asked to have their ballots prepared
for them, and expressed themselves
as deslrous Of voting the independent
ticket, were to be voted for A. b.
Cole, for mayor without being ques-
toned as to whether they wished to
vote for Mr. Cole or Mr.. Kowalski
The entire day was spent in argu
ments for and against the striking
out OF the plea. r. b. Creager for
the respondent asked that the plea
be stricken from the records, as it
contained matters which the respon-
dent, had not prepared to meet.
Mr.. Dougherty for the state replied
to Mr.. Creager by advancing reasons
why the amendment should be admit
ted and showing procedure in other
courts when similar issues were in
volved. Mr.. Dougherty spoke for more
than two hours
Judge Graham for the respondent,
in an hour and a half talk, sought
10 eontrOyert the arguments OF the
state and also cited several decisions
and procedures in other courts on
similar matters
In the matter Of the plea Of inter-
vention filed by Mr.. Kowalski, Judge
Boone, for the respondent, held that
the plea differed from the original
pleas in the case, in the fact that
Mr.. Kowalski asked for payment OF
the back salary of the mayor for the
time since lie surrendered the office.
Mr. Goodrich, representing Mr..
Kowalski, alleged that while the ori-
ginal plea asked for the emoluments
of office. the only difference was in
the phrasing of tht document

We believe that way should be
found to discontinue forever the
practice of creating new offices en-
abling the new incumbents to carry
pistols, except in cases of actual riot
ing which as yet have not occurred
in our city.
Although the school fund receiv-
ed from the state is ample, we favor
a moderate city tax for the mainten-
ance of our public schools, provided,
however, that such sacred fund be
strictly and solely applied to such
uses as are provided for by law and
to no other.
Again we thank you for your sim
cere efforts toward the upbuiIding of
Brownsville, through the advocacy Of
wise system of expenditure OF the
public monies and of publishing the
statement required by law In order
that the taxpayers may be kept in
| formed of the use being made of their
money, and inasmuch as such yearly
statement has not been published for

quite difficult for any alderman

would suggest the propriety Of EN-

The following was read to the
council by Alderman H. J. Kirk:
Brownsville, Tex, Nov. Is, 70.
"Messrs L. Cobolini and H. ]. Kirk
and Jas. A. Browne, Alderman Of
the Third Ward and First Ward.
Brownsville, Texas.
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned
citizens and taxpayers of the city of
Brownsville most respectfully beg
leave TO represent that we are in
perfect accord and indorse the honor
able course pursued by yourselves in
opposing the further levy of taxes
for the ity of Brownsville, until all
taxpayers are fully and satisfactorily
informed tthrough proper channels
that the funds collected by the city
from all sources Of city revenue are
accounted for and that every depart
ment is conducted in a business like
manner with due regard to economy
I'VE believe that the appropria-
tiOns made for each department made
by the city council should be strict
ly adhered to as is required for by
law and unnecessary deficiencies
avoided because they are highly de-
trimental 70 the taxpaying people
and to the best interests of our good
city, having the effect of retarding
the hoped for advancement Of the
city and Of keeping investors from
putting their money in over-taXed
communities, as we believe is the un-
fortunate case at the present time,
no good man can object TO paying
just proportion of the city's law
ful expenses if his money is Justly
applied to useful purposes.
1--WE praise you for the stand you
have taken against the adoption OF
any proposed budget unless II be
made absolutely certain beyond rea-
sonable doubt that its provisions are
strictly adhered to and adjusted to
business principles
I'VE are in full sympathy with the
firm stand you have seen fir to
maintain in open council in the mat
ter of levying taxes and earnestly
hope that every other good member
of he city council may join you
: in the good work of protecting us,
and those having the best interest
OF our good city at heart We depre-
cae and view with displeasure the
large number OF armed men seen
about town under the name special
officers because Of their unsightly
appearance calculated to affect and
damage the good name of our dear
city whose people have always enjoy
ed the distinction of being law abid-
rag.
- We pray that you may continue
un, sasingly in your efforts to pro-
cure the revocation OF all such COM
missioas in order that all lawful
peace officers may be unrestrained in
the enforcement of our wise laws
against carrying concealed weapons,

YOUNG COUPLE DISAPPEAR

Mystery surrounds the whereabouts
of Richard Rasmussen and Miss Irene
Tastad, young people whose parents
reside in the same farming section of
Sanborn county. The young man and
girl had been sweethearts for more
than a year and wished to marry, but
the marriage was opposed by the
girls parents, not because they had
any objection to the young man, but
because of the age of the girl, who is
not yet IS. While the parents OF the
girl were on a trading expedition to
town she slipped from the house,
joined her lover and they disappeared.
1t is believed they were married in
the first town where they could Sc
cure a license and that in due time
their parents will be informed OF their
whereabouts and asked for the paren-
tai blessing.

Near the agency building was a
slaughter house where beef were he

their regular rations. It seemed to
be the prerogative Of the squaws to
secure the meat supplies. With their
papoOses they hung around this very
repulsive establishment. Near by I
saw a number Of the more voracious,
eagerly devouring like choice tid-bits,

THE WHITE SQUAW.
lBy Ex,Gox. Chas. n. Herreid.l

We are all to a great extent crea-
lures of circumstances and environ.
ment. The most cultured and refined
members of society might have been
barbarians, pagans.
On one of my hunting trips some
years ago / visited the Cherry Creek
Indian ~sub-agency located where this
stream enters the Cheyenne river,
about eighty miles northwest from
Pierre, South Dakota. This section
of country has been famous as the
home of the band of Chief Hump, the
warrior and last Sioux chieftain who
sadly surrendered to the encroaching
white mans civilization.
1t was ration day at the sub-agency.
About 1900 Indians belonged to this
section and at this time, Indian fash
ion, most of them were camped in
tents and tepees, some on the plains,
some on the heavily timbered bottom
lands, altogether forming an i'm
proved, semi-barberous, picturesque
village.
On the banks Of the Cherry Greek
and the Cheyenne, immense quantities
ford buffalo berries burdened the
bushes forming a most appropriate
and artistic setting in the luxurious
foliage, tinged with natures an
nouncement of the passing seasons
It was an ideal camping ground, an
ideal fall day. It was an Indian sum
mer. Indian feast day, Indian village,
Indian country. Smoky eyes, smoky
compilations harmonized perfectly
with smoky skies. Man and nature
were attuned. The atmosphere was
languid, peaceful, dreamy, melan-
choly. To me, with my intense love
for the wildness and sympathy for
the red man, it was a day of intense
interest and enjoyment.
The agent informed me that among
the squaws was an old white" wo-
man. who had lived among the Indians
sirco infancy
This oroused NV curiosity 7 asked
permission to see her and a messen-
ger was sent to find her. After some
time the messenger returned saying
he had found her but she refused to
appear at the office of the agent. The
chief Of the Indian police named
Straighthead-a magnificent looking
Indian. was sent out with orders to
bring her to the office. Waiting for

Audience at Fisk Thrown into Ex-

Mrs Carr Receives the Ap-
pause Very ModestIy-Re-
port for Year Shows Much
Activity on Part Of the
Women.

For many years it has been Gus
tomary on this particular evening
for the president of "The Normal
Alumni Association" to make a re-
port on the work of that body for
the past year
But, before submitting this report
| wish to call your attention to some
facts that are not only interesting,
but they are Of great Importance af-
fecting as they do the history of
Fisk University as a successful insti.
tuition of learning.
One of the few things that almost
every body knows about the institu-
ton is, that since its beginning there
has always existed a Normal De
partment for the training of young
Negro women. Most people know
or rather think that this department
has been abolished. Comparatively
few people know that instead of be-
ing abolished the Normal Department
Of former years has simply grown in
to something arger and better Now
the Normal graduates of yesterday
who are out in the world have no
intention of allowing their efforts or
their history to be obscured by the
glory of any other department of
the university, yet they are the first
to appreciate the demand for and
the great possibilities of those who
take the fuller course.
They hope, too, for the women of
tomorrow who go out with better
training that they may build wisely
and well upon the substantial founda-
ton laid Already by the Normal
Alumnus of yesterday.
Without being arrogant or seem
ing to over-estimate the efforts of
the early graduates, We would call
your attention to the fact that Fisk
University owes much of her enyia-
BILE reputation as an institution of
learning to the splendid work of
these faithful women who went out
