story of the governments fight to stop
the sale of liquor to Indians is out
nned by Cato Sells, commissioner of
Indian affairs SO well have the eff
forts of the Indian service succeeded,
ne said, that the traffic virtually has
been broken up.
Not only has the government cut
the sale of liquor to Indians on reSer-
vations and elsewhere, but in one in
stance it has made a fifth of a state
dry through enforcement of a sixty
year-old Indian treaty. Older treaties
are being studied now to determine if
saloons in other territory partly popu-
lated by Indians can be closed.
Minnesota is the state in which a
vast area was freed of saloons by
treaty enforcement. The agreement
revived by the government is known
as the Chippewa treaty of 1855. For
many years its provisions regarding
the sale of whisky had been forgotten
until one day last summer it was dis
covered in the Indian bureau here that
the convention was a perpetual bar to
the sale of intoxicants in northwest
Minnesota.
Indian officials determined to en-
force the treaty and began, too, the
study of similar agreements in other
states. On October 20 last an order
went forth that saloons in several of
the larger towns in the territory must
close within ten days. Liquors deal
erS refused to close and took the fight
into the courts, where it has just been
decided that the treaty provisions still
are in force.

The warm admiration and regard which
concert-goers have for Nine. Julia Culp
was fully attested yesterday afternoon al
the National Theater when a large gath

As on previous occasions Mime. Culp
opened her recital with a group OF songs
by Schubert, "Des Fluss," Der Junglins
und der Tod" "Des Fischers Liebes-
gluck," and "Andenken." In these songs
her voice proved as fresh, rich and
spirited as ever. and as the last tones OF
"Andenken' rang out, the audience warm
ly applauded. and the songstress, as an
encore. gave an Indian love song by
Lorenz, by the Waters Of the Mime
tonka," a delightful piece with a rippling
accompaniment.
In q group Of French songs which fol
lowed, Debussys quiet Mutt D'etoiles'
and two songs by Massenet, "Crepuscule'
and Petite heur des bois." were sung
with charm and tender feeling.

sung more beautifully than yesterday.

the Custer Massacre are known to
nearly every schoolboy. The trip OF

freight has become historical.
Captain Marsh was a lovable char
acter. Those who knew him best
liked him best. He was fond of tell

but he stunned the lime light. AT
times he was modest to a fault.
Children were fond of him an:
