General Indian Council Called.

Pierre.-A general council of he
Sioux Indians of Cheyenne river res
ervation has been called at On the
Trees Camp, beginning June %, and
all male Indians over 18 years of age
on the reservation are asked to at
tend. One of the principal features OF
this meeting will be to ask for the
removal of the agency office to a CEN
trail place on the reservation. At pres
ent it is on the Missouri river, Just op-
posite Forest City, and a. long way
from the western Indians on the re-
serve. In the old days when the In
dams had nothing to do but to drive
to the agency when they wanted to
consult with the agent, time and dis
lance were not of any great conse-
quence. But now that they are set
Ting down t o farming and looking at.
ter themselves to a much larger ex-
tent than in the old days, the time
required to make the trip to the
agency is an element to be consid-
cred. Beside the location question,
other matters to be considered at this
council are the adoption of a constitu-
ton and bylaws applications for trans
fers, adoptions and enrollments which
are pending, besides the clearing up
of unfinished business of former coun'
ellis.

LAW HITS MEAT
CHANGE ORDERED FOLLOWING
OPINION BY M'REYNoLDs.
New Ruling Empowers Federal In
sp~ectors to confiscate and Destroy
Spoiled Shipments.

Washington, June 19.-One of the
most radical and far-reaching extern
sion of the pure food and drugs act
since its enactment was made when
Secretaries Houston, McAdoo and Red
field, charged with enforcing this
statute, ruled that meat and meat prod
ucts in interstate or foreign commerce,
which hitherto have been. exempted
from the provisions Of the pure food
law, may be seized II misbranded or
adulterated.
This action was taken on the
strength of an opinion by Attorney
General McReynolds. The three secre
taries revoked a regulation adopted in
October, 1906. only four months after
the passage Of the pure food law,
which had prevented the department
OF agriculture, according to a state
ment by Secretary Houston, from
prosecuting manufacturers Of meat
foods under the pure food law, or or
dering seizures or prosecutions for
misbranding or adulteration Of domes-
tic meats"
Secretary Houston said he could not
understand why meat and meat prod
nets were not food in the sense of the
food and drugs act, or why his depart
ment could not seize bad, adulterated
or misbranded meat once 1t had en-
tered interstate commerce.

mond Special on the Illinois Central at
Glenarm, south of this city, the be-
lated train left Springfield at 400

Rumors that 100000 was taken from
the express safe were denied here this
morning, officials of the railroad de-
claring that the bandits opened only
the small safe in the express car and
did not enter the big safe, which con-
tanned a large sum Of money.
The two men stopped the train when
it was about three miles north of Glen
arm. They forced the trainmen to de-
tach the engine and the express car
from the rest Of the train. They then
compelled the engineer to carry the
detached train north, and while en-
route the dynamiting of the safe was
accomplished.
Engineer A. j. Smell and Fireman
Tom Miller, both Of Clinton, and Bag
gageman A. s. Pugh and E. j. Hoop

to stand in a ditch beside the engine.
One bandit covered" them with two
huge revolvers, while the second ban
dit fired several shots Of dynamite de-
liberately at the big safe.
For an hour the bandit worked at
the safe. firing shot after shot. All
this time the train load of passengers
trembled for fear the train would be
visited by the bandits.
