SIOUX INDIAN BURIAL
,DISCARDS TRIBAL RITES
Fort Totten Reservation Indians
Abandon Ancient Customs.

Devils Lake, NOV. ll.-Ine en-
balming of the body of Mrs. John
Matoki, a full-blooded Sioux Indian,
and the holding of funeral services
according to the customs of the white
man at the Fort Totten reservation
Sunday, marks another step In ad-
vancement Of the Red Man in civili-
zation, and the discarding of tribal
rites and ceremonies, relics of earlier
days in the history of one time saw
age race.
Mrs. Matoki had been prominent
in the social and church life of the
Indians on the reservation for many
years, and was beloved and respect
ed by her people. She died at the
age of 64 years, leaving two sons,
men grown, and the father on the
thrifty farm they own. Her last re-
quest, that her remains be embalmed
and a Christian funeral be given her,
was followed out to the letter. and
the only feature of q funeral sermon
marked by solemn dignity and relig-:
lous rites OF the white race, was the
dinner, given to some 500 Indians
prior to the funeral.
This was held at the mission" hall
ON the reservation, and Immediately
after a cortege of mourners followed
the casket to the church, where Rev.
Thomas Jerome of the mission church
preached the funeral sermon. The
scene was impressive when the body,
borne in it's solemn hearse and fol-
lowed by nearly 400 residents of the
reservation, was conveyed to the
cemetery and laid to rest with the
ceremony of Christians, dust to dust,
ashes to ashes. Indian ponies draw
ing the rigs in which the mourning
residents of the reservation sal, were
decorated with white and black
streamers, and this, with the ban
quet feature, were the only remind
ers of the Indian burial custom
marking the obseQuies. This is the
first case recorded where the body Of
an Indian has been embalmed and a
funeral void of tribal customs and
ceremonies held, at least in North
Dakota and on the reservation.

farmer living near Regan in the
northwestern part of this county, has
received word from the Pabst Brew

"GREASE CASE" UP
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Constitutionality of Law Will Be De-
termined-Defendan Lost in
District Court.

Bismarck, Nov. 1.-THE Cass
county grease case' is now in the
hands of the supreme court of the
state. This case was instituted by
Prof. Ladd, state pure food commits.
sioner, to test chapter 236 of the
1911 session Laws. This chapter pro-
-yides that lard and lard products and
substitutes must be put up, II not
sold in bulk, in containers of one
pound or an equal multiple thereof
Also, that the net weight Of the lard
must be plainly stated upon the label
upon the container. Prof. Ladd
purchased of J. T. Sirrs of Fargo
pail of lard. He called for three
pound pail and received what is pop
ularly known as a three pound pail,
but upon examination he found that
it was labeled in an inconspicuous
place as containing 2h pounds.
The lard label on the front of the
can announced that it was "Armour's
Shield Lard" prepared and put up by
the Armour company. On the re-
verse of the pail, and where it could
not be seen without turning the pail
around, was very small label about
three-fourths of an inch in diameter,
giving the gross contents of the pail.
The state contends that such contain
ers must contain a pound or a multi
pie thereof, and that the Label must
be on the front of the pail and print
ed in conspicuous type, and that 1t
is neither honest nor lawful to in
clude the weight of the pail in the
weight on the label.
The defendants, who lost in the
district court, contend that chapter
236 is unconstitutional. First, be-
cause in conflict with the fourteenth
to the federal constitu-
ton in that it does not apply to cer-
tain lard substitutes. Second, it vio-
lates the right of contract between
the seller and the purchaser. Fourth,
it attempts to punish an act by state
law which is committed outside the
state. Fourth, 1t violates the inter-
state commerce act. Fifth, 1t at
tempts to control the private busi-
ness of citizen. Sixth, the act pun
ishes the putting up of lard, and not
it's sale. The outcome of this case 10
being watched with no little interest
by pure food departments of the
country, as we'll as by packers. It
involves two or three very important
points.

So far as could be learned there has

plain intimation that the Washington

the Huerta regime inevitable if for

With the intention to regard as H.

Washington.
Without financial aid and with its
machinery of government pronounced
illegal officials here expect to see
state of affairs that may force Huerta

The cabinet met with all members
present except Secretary Wilson. The
Mexican topic was foremost. Tho
raising of the embargo on arms, which
has been urged upon the president
and practically all the secretaries, was
discussed at length.

Modern Signal System.
There are no bells in the hospital,
signals from each room being given
by electric lights. The patient
touches a button at his bedside and
an electric light appears outside the
transom window of the room. This
light cannot be extinguished until
the nurse has visited the room. In
case no nurse should be in the hall,
an electric signal is provided in the
ss3iEx kitchen and the head nprsess
room, .denoting the floor on which
the patients signal is to be found,
and this information is secured by
means of three colored lights, red,
white and blue, designating the va
rious floors.
There is a diet kitchen ON each
floor where food is prepared, and all
the food and utensils used by pa
tients and employees are sterilized
after each meal. A dumb-waiter
connects with the kitchen on the
ground floor. There are general
bath rooms on each floor. At the
south end of. the building are sun
porches, wide and airy, for the use
of convalescent patients and for
other purposes. These sun parlors
are expected to prove an especially
desirable feature Of the hospital.
In the wards there are no more
than four beds in each room. There
is also an intercommunicating tele-
phone system in the building, which
connects with the Office and various
parts Of the building. The office is
located at the left of the main en-
trance, the reception room at the
right. The furniture Of the patients
rooms, outside Of the four furnished
in mahogany, is of light fumed oak.
The ground floor is devoted to the
rooms for the nurses, the kitchen
and dining room, and a very COM
plete laundry, run by steam, with all
modern machinery. The boiler room
is at the south end Of the building.
and has a storage capacity of two
cars Of. coal. The kitchen is equip
ped with q large range, ice box, and
every culinary convenience, includ-
ing dish Washing machine, which
sterilizes all dishes by boiling.
The hospital was built by Parkview

WILL OPERATE IN FAVOR OF THE
LARGE RESERVE BANKS AND,
AGAINST COUNTRY BANKS.


from several prominent bankers of
the state, statements Of their views
Of the administration currency act.
These opinions are quite varied,
some being opposed to the measure
while others are favorable to it.
Among the opinions are the follow
ing : ~ ;,es
H. T. Graves, president of the
James River National Bank, James
town, N. D.: I am not in favor Of
the Glass bill for the following reas-
ons: Rediscount privilege not avail
able for northwestern country banks,
haven't the paper required, loss Of
interest on reserve deposited with
federal reserve banks, loss of ex-
change, double liability on and fore,
ed subscription to capital stock Of
federal reserve banks, insufficient re-
turns on money invested (only per
cent?, and no representation for the
bankers in the management of feder-
al reserve banks.
May Revert to State Banks.
]. J. Nierling, president Citizens
National Bank, jamestown, N. D.:
/ consider the currency and banking
bill now pending especially detrimen-
tai to our country banks, compelling
them to maintain the large reserve
in federal bank, without voice or
choice, which at no time can be util-
ICED as an operative credit, as a rule
not being in position to meet the re-
quirements of commercial paper.
This will compel such banks to main
tain, In addition, their reserve corre-
spondent bank for such credit that
may be required from time to time,
correspondingly with drawing funds
from circulation in respective locali-
ties.
Should the bill pass without fur
ther modification / fear many ma
tional banks will convert into state
institutions.
Many other serious objections
could be sited would space permit.
Opposes Political Control.
G. B. Little. president First Ma
tional Bank, Bismarck, N. D.: am
opposed to the measure mainly be-
cause it provides for political control,
which In my opinion will prove as
unsatisfactory as it did in the days Of
Andrew Jackson. The bill also places
the country banks at great disad-
vantage.
Compel Retirement Of Issue.
M. f. Murphy, president State
Bank OF Reynolds, N. D.: The more
i have thought about currency bill,
the stronger I have grown in my
opinion that all we need is an emer-
gency currency. We ought not to
have any law that will allow any
thing that will be in the nature Of
permanent imitation. We need cur
rency that can be used In time of
stress and which must be compulsor-

Good Roads

ernor Oddie because he vetoed that
worthless road bill. passed by the
Legislature, but no porvisions made
for its enactment. 1t required money
and no funds were appropriated Tor
the purpose, and the amoun named
in the bill. when apportioned amongst
the eleven counties, would not have
been sufficient to build a COW trail

Then the papers .alludc to Governor
Johnson and his 'good-road' attitude
in California in comparison. But they
purposcly fail to relate how the Cal

Johnson in the matter; appropriated
sufficient money to build roads as they
should be built, and made provisions
for gcring the money into the treas
