period: Imposition was put into
practice by the Georgians for the
purpose of Wearing out the forbear-
ance of the Cherokees. to force them
from their homes, or to commit deeds
Of desperation that would excuse their
determination
Placed Under Arrest.
Not only were the Indians persc-
cuted beyond belief. but even tho
faithful missionaries were treated
with contempt and cruelty. The leg
islature Of the state of Georgia had
passed a law which forbade any white
man to reside in the Cherokee coun-
thy without first taking Al oath Of
allegiance to that state. Refusing 10
take the oath, Mr., Worcester. with
seN cral other missionaries. was
placed under arrest. They wer.
tired, convicted. dressed in prison
stripes and placed behind the walls
Of the state prison. where they were
set to work at tasks unfamiliar and
rough Mr.. Worcester pleaded in de-
fense that he was a citizen of Yer
mont, that the government in treaties
had acknowledged the Cherokees 10
be nation with a guaranteed and
definite territory. that the state of
Georgia had no right to interfere. He
appealed to the supreme court of the
united states. Cnlef Justice Marshall
reviewed the case and the decision
was in favor of the missionaries. but
the state of Georgia was defiant ana
for a time defied the mandate of the
court.
President Jackson himself who IA
vored the Georgians, was also defiant
and angry. Upon hearing of the de-
cision of the high court he remarked: :
John Marshall has made his deci-
/, sion, now let him enforce it," Bun
the governor finally. with reluctance,
released the imprisoned ministers
Mr.. Worcester now came to Indian
territory. and in 1886 took charge Of
the Park Hill mission. He re-estab-
lished his printing office and again
took up his labor for translating. He
preached regularly. organized the
first temperance society in the terri
tory. and looked after the interests
of mixed, white and Indian blood, and
the school was located in the center
Of populous community. 1t was In
existence for a period of 23 years,
and did not close until the near ap-
proach Of the Civil war.

INCREASE VALUES
BOOST FROM 81 TO 500 AN. ACRE
THE HOPE or THOSE WEST
OF THE RIVER.

Pierre, Aug. S-Raising the land
from 81 per acre value to $50 per
acre. as classified by the federal es-
innate, by means Of irrigation is
what the settlers west of the river
hope to do by the passage of the ir-
rigation amendment to the South Da-
kota constitution this fall. Although
of course. the lands actually do sell
for more than the federal estimate
of 81 value, that is the class they are
put in, and the estimate can be
changed only by putting water on
the land, for the land itself is more
than sufficiently fertile and lacks
only moisture to make il equal to the
best value of land in the United
States. Irrigation in Colorado, Ne
vada, Montana and other states, has
raised their value from 81 to $50
through this means. With water on
the land, crops can be produced
worth from $50 to $50 per acre in
all the semiarid lands.
Excluding the rough tracts. there
are about Is. 1000, 900 acres of good.
tillable land which car be reclaim
ed. and made to support an immense
population. The federal estimates,
and other estimates made by state
authorities, show hat enough water
goes TO waste in the Missouri river
and i'm scores of smaller rivers,
creeks and gulches in western South
Dakota during one year to supply
the extra foot of water needed for
the 10. 600, 900 or more acres. AT
present the rainfall varies between
IL and 81 inches per year, and il
needs 20 be increased TO make il an
average of Is. to accomplish this re-
suit, sought for the benefit of the

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Aug. Special Gen.
Brussiloff is pressing his offensive
against the Teutonic allies in north
ern Galicia, where the passage of the
river Sereth was recently forced by
the Russians along a wide front
south of Brody. Petrograd today
reports further advances for the Rus
slams with the capture of strongly
fortified positions along the Sereth.
The forward push of the Russians
i'm this sector is not only bringing
them closer TO Lemberg on the direct
line Of advance, but is pointed out
by military critics as likely seriously
TO %endanger the entire Austrian
front along the Stripa, to the south,
which is being rapidly outflanked.
Heavy fighting continues on the
western front in the Verdun region.
According to Paris, however, the
Germans have been entirely unsuc-
cessful in the efforts to regain
ground lost to the French in Gen.
Novelties vigorous offensive of last
week. An attack or the Thiaumont
work is declared to have sheen check
ed at the outset by the French fire
barrier, while an assault in the Naux
Chapitre woods was broken up by
the artillery and machine guns.
In the field of the allied offensive
along the Somme, today's Paris
statement reports only artillery ac-
tivity which, however. was intense in
the region of Challnes, north of the
river.
British reports of the fighting east
Of the SueZ canal in Egypt shows a
crushing defeat for the Turks who
are said to have lost one-fourth of
their electives, which numbered
some $4,000 men.

DENOUNCING MEDICINES.

Wholesale denunciation of propri-

the medical profession. IL is no
more true that there are reputable
physicians who unselfishly devote

standard remedies which do as good
