TEST CASE
INTOXICATING QUALITIES OF PIE
NOTA BEAN TO BE
DECIDED.

Deadwood, Sept. Whether the
Mexican peyota bean Is really a drug
or intoxieant within the meaning OF
the United States statutes is the basis
for an interesting test case which
will be tried here this week in the
United States district court.
Something more that a year ago IT
came to the knowledge of the fed
eral officials that certain Sioux In
dams on the Pine Ridge reservation
were secretly obtaining some subtle
form of drug, the use of which turned
them into dangerous individuals.
investigation showed il to be the pc
yota bean, the dried tip of a cactus
plant imported from Mexico, which
contains a form of poison. Even one
bean, which is about the size of the
quarter dollar, affects the user and
the Indians were obtaining II in in
creasing quantities. 1t was learned
that its use was connected with a
certain religious cult among the In
dams, which included some fantastic
dances and mysterious worship. No
concrete portion of the statutes COW
cred its importation or use, but the
government seeks TO make it come
within the provisions of the law gov
erning the use of intoxicants and
drugs among its charges on the res
ervations.
To this end some extensive work
has been done by United States At
torney Stewart, of this city, and
United States Marshal Taubman, OF
Plankinton. Samples of the bean
were taken by Taubman to Washing
ton for expert analysis. government
agents in New York and Texas were
subpoenaed for the trial here and a
certain physician from Oklahoma
who some years ago became addicted
to the use of the peyota in Mexico
and was for a time practically in
sane, will be here to describe its per-
nicious habit forming qualities and
his own experiences. Since the dis
covery OF the use and effect of the
peyota bean on the Indians, the gov
eminent has been enabled TO prevent
its importation and has almost en-
tireIy stamped out the habit that was
spreading with deadly effect among
the redskins under the guise of re-
ligion while go-betweens were reap
ing a rich harvest in handling it.

JEFFERSON CITY TO
Be GAY FOUR YEARS
Expects Resumption of Elaborate
Affairs That Marked the
Stephens Administration.

Jefferson City. Nov. 15.-MemberS
of society here are rejoicing in the
probable election Of Frederick ID. Gard
ner in the belief that it means four
social seasons on Il scale the capital
has not known since the administra-
ton of Lon V. Stephens from 1897 to
1901.
The capital has heard that Mrs.
Gardner is 4 gracious hostess and that
she is known for the splendOr OF her
entertainments. 1t knows that She has
the money to entertain on any scale
she pleases.
There has been little social life at
the executive mansion for several adj
ministrations, entertainments being
confined for the most part to 4 few
large receptions each year the Leglsla-
ture was in session, one large ball and
! family dinner parties. To the large at
fairs the rule has prevailed that the
invitation to the public was general
and anybody was welcome
dinner all members Of the Legislature,
of whom there are 176. Usually they
are invited in small groups.
Following the Stephens administra-
ton came that of Gov. Dockery. Mrs.
Dockery died soon after her husband
became Governor and there was no
lsocial life at the executive mansion for
several years.
During the administration of Gov
| Folk entertainments at the mansion
usually were musicales to which were
invited music lovers. Mrs. Folk did
not go in for society very extensive
llv, nor did her successor in the man
sion, Mrs. Hadley.
During the present administration
much of the social life of the admin
istration has been transferred to st.
Louis. where Gov. Major frequently
/ was the guest at society functions.
Few were given at the executive man
sion, however.
The social season in the capital will
begin with the inaugural ball the even
| ing of Jan. s, the day Gardner, it IS
expected, will be inaugurated. Society
folk in Jefferson City will be disap-
pointed if it does not continue almost
uninterruptedly for fully three months
after that day.

Der of his party in this district who
could be elected to Congress. The dis
trict is normally Republican, except
when Joe J. Russell runs. Many Re
publicans vote for him in preference
to u member Of their own party.
Congressman Russell was instru-
mental in getting the new pOst-officn

from Uncle Joe Cannon, expressing the
