Indian Citizens Cannot
Buy Cattle From Brothers
Doc BIXBY
In Nebraska Journal

According to a ruling of the
commissioner of Indian affair at
Washington, which arose in d
South Dakota case, Indians who
have become citizens of the Unit
ed States have, because of such
citizenship, lost the right to pur-
chase from other Indians Indian
department stock or its increase
a right which they had before
becoming citizens. The Indian
department stock is stock which
has been issued to Indians by the
government in the effort to en-
courage Indians in cattle raising,
and for the protection of the In
dlanS a statute was enacted pro-
hibiting the purchase by white
men of the stock or its increase.
While Indians who have be-
come citizens have gained many
rights thereby, they have, under
this ruling of the Indian commits
sioner, lost this right, which was
of some Importance to them.
Whites who purchase issue cattle
from the Indians without the
written concent of the Indian
agent in charge of them are sub.
ject to a fine of not less than $500
and imprisonment for a period of
not less than six months, and In
dians who have become citizens
of the United States, under the
ruling of the commissioner of In.
dian affairs, now become subject
to the same penalty if they com
init the offense of purchasing is
sue cattle from any of their breth-
ren, Notice of the ruling has just
been posted throughout the Sioux
reservation in western and south
ern South Dakota.
All Indians who have received
a fee simple patent to their allot-
ment are effected by this
ruling.

Jacob Schneider
Passes Away

The following from the Monti-
cello, Iowa, Express, refers to
Mr.. Jacob Schneider, father of
Mrs. ]. H. Fryberger of this place.
MIR. Schneider, with his wife and
daughter, spent last summer here
and made hosts of friends who
are erieved to learn of his death:
Jacob Schneider died, at his
home, on North Cedar street, last
Tuesday evening. His death was
caused by tuberculosis of the
glands of the neck. He had visit.
ed Excelsior Springs, Missouri,
three different times, with the
hope that the treatment he might
receive at that health resort would
benefit him. Later he went to
Rochester, Minnesota, where he
submitted to two surgical opera
tionS for the correction of the dis
ease with which he was afflicted.
But all of Mr.. Schneider's endeav-
orS to preserve his health were of
no avail. As a last resort he
spent five months in a western
climate, but finally came home to
await the fatality of the dreaded
disease. He was a patient suffer
er, who received, during his i'll
ness, the tender care of a loving
wife and his dutiful daughter,
Frana.
"Mr, Schneider was born at
Suhr, Argan, Switzerland, Dec.
ember 8, 1851. He came to the
United States, June |, 1872, and
settled in the town of Cascade,
where he engaged in the butcher
business. Later be came to Mon
ticello, his home for As years,
where he conducted a butcher
shop in the building now occupied
by Webster's cafe. He conducted
his business in that building ell.

County Settlement
Matter Blocked

1t seems that some question has
arose over the validity of the
warrants issued by Haakon and
Jackson counties toStanley in the
settlement matter adjusted by the
different boards of county com
missioners a few weeks back.
The esteemed Philip Review
comments upon the situation as
follows:
Another tangle has tied up
the matter of settlement between
Stanley, Haakon and Jackson
counties, in the refusal of the
board of commissioners of Stan
ley county to accept the warrants
issued by the commissioners in
the other counties in payment of
the judgment rendered in circuit
court against the latter and in
favor of the former.
1T appears that there is a limit
alton to the amount of warrants
a county can issue in any year.
The amount must not exceed
that to be raised by taxation dur
ing the year No exception is
made of those counties, like ours
who have to assume Indebtedness
of the old county, Other coun-
ties, confronted with similar con
ditions, have issued bonds.
The alternative of bonding
will not meet with the approval
of the people of Haakon county,
it is believed, in view of the cost
of holding a special election and
the other expenses that would en-
ter into the deal
Only one way remains in which
warrants can legally be issued to
pay off the judgment and that is
by having bill passed by the
present Legislature amending the
present statutes. We understand
an effort in that direction will be
made"

ed it to the building now occupied
by Suter q Son. He remained in
that building nine years, selling
his business to his brother-in-law
! J. e. Suter. The remaining years
of his active business life were
spent in buying and selling cattle
and horses. He made seven trips
to Switzerland, with horses which
he sold to the Swiss government.
Four years ago he purchased
what is known as the lower meat
market" This business was con-
Quoted indirectly under his man
aQement until his death. He was
a charter member of William Tell
lodge of the |. O. O. F., of this
city.
Mr.. Schneider was married to
Sophia Kiburz, of Richland town
ship, June 8, 1875. There were
born to them six children, one, a
daughter, dying in infancy. Those
left to mourn his loss are: Mrs.
Louise Hallauer and Isaac, of this
city; Mrs. Ada Fryber9er, of Ka-
doka, South Dakota; Mrs. Lena
Palmer, of Cresco, Iowa, and
Frana, who lives at home. Mr..
Schneider was the second of a
family of four children. The
brothers and sisters surviving
MIN are Mrs. Simon Bader, Mrs.
]. q. Suter and Isaac Schneider,
Sr., all of Monticello. He is also
survived by fourteen grandchild-
rem and one great erandchild.
The funeral services will be
held tomorrow afternoon (Friday)
at the German Reformed church,
at two o'clock. Rev. Roland
Kuntzel, the pastor of that church,
will have charge of the services.
Burial will be had at Oakwood
cemetery"

Future Should Look
Bright To StOCkmen


The following article on the
! cattle situation from the Portland
| Ore9onlan answers a question
that is of great importance to
South Dakotans:
! Congress acted none too soon
in passing the grazing homestead
law, for the one great need not
only of this country but of Europe
Tor some years to come will be
cattle. Europe'S herds have been
slaughtered by wholesale, some
countries will need to be entirely
restocked and they will look to
the United States for a large part
of their new herds, but this coun-
try's herds are being reduced to
a point where they will not meet
our own needs, much less have
surplus for export.
Our exports of fresh beef have
grown from less than Sl,000,000
in the fiscal year of 1914 to more
than $29,000,000 in the fiscal year
1916. AT the same time abund-
ant work at good wages has in
creased our home consumption.
| The number of beef cattle in the
country has decreased nearly
100000 head in the last six
years, and the decrease is greater
each year. Up to November Is,
1916, receipts at the seven princi-
pal markets were more than g.
100000 head as compared with
6,939, 900 head in the same period
of 1915, and recent receipts at
Chicago show an even more rapid
increase.
"All market conditions combine
to encourage sale and slaughter
4nf cattle. The broader market
afforded by the export trade en-
ables packers to pay good prices
without raising the wholesale
price of dressed beef. The high
price of corn tempts the farmer
to sell his stock rather than feed
them till spring. Hence thin, IN
developed steers are being killed
which might have become prime
beef.
The saying that the range is
passing has become truism. We
must rely for our beef supply
hereafter on cattle 9razed and
fed on the farm. The range has
been impoverished by overgraz-
ing, SO that it can no longer sus-
tain herds of the former size.
Much has been done to remedy
this evil by the protection and
reseeding of grazing land that
is included in the national for
eSts, for the capacity of those
tracts has been increased in the
last few years. Much more may
be expected from the division of
the remaining range into 640-acre
homesteads, which will be en-
closed and reseeded when need
ed. Intensive farming will con-
tribute to the same end, for cat
tie and hogs furnish natural fer
tiliZer for the next years crop.
Stock raising is becoming more
and more an adjunct of general
farming and is practiced more
extensively in the South, as that
section is weaned from its one
crop fetish, takes to diversified
farming and is delivered from the
tick, hog cholera and other pests.
One of the first and greatest
demands which will come from
Europe upon the restoration of
peace will be for replenishment
/ of its stock of cattle and hogs.
This country will be called upon
to supply entire car9oes. As
part of our preparation for that
period, farmers would do we'll to
breed livestock of good blood in
anticipation of thedemand. There
will be great gap to fill in the
herds OF this country as we'll as
in those of Europe"

Temperance Legislation
Proposed For State

of the Anti-Saloon League has
prepared to introduce before the
legislature at the present session.
According to the plans of Mr..
HolSaple the bill was to be intro
duced during the fore part of this
week, but before it was done,
legislators Kaas of Marshall coun-
ty and E99en of Roberts intro
duced a bill, not as liberal by far
as the proposed Holsaple bill.
The Kaas-E99en bill prohibits
the sale, manufacture or posses
sion of liquor in this state after
July lst, and also the tranSporta-
ton into or across the state of
any liquor of any kind. Two
hundred to five hundred dollars
fine and sixty days to six months
in Jail is the penalty for those
caught in a second violation. In
addition to this sentence of a
year in the penitentiary is pro-
vided. Violation by a corpora
tion makes every agent, officer,
director and stockholder individ-
ually liable. Sales by druggists
for medicinal purposes are per-
mitted.
Holsaple denied that the auth
ors of this bill were stealing his
thunder. According to him it is
probable that half a dozen tenn
perance bills will be introduced
before the close of the session,
and the final bill will be a COM
poSite of all of them.
Following is the resume of the
Holsaple bill:
in the first place, we try to
provide against the referendum
by declaring that this act shall be
deemed a regulation of the police
powers of the state for the pro-
lection of the economic welfare,
peace, health, and safety of the
people of the state.
Next we provide that the gov
ernor shall be charged with the
general enforcement of the pro-
visions of the law and he is given
authority and full power to re-
move any state attorney, sheriff,
police officer or mayor who ne
elects to enforce the provisions
of this law. The law prohibits,
of course, the manufacture of in
toxicatine liquors as well as the
sale by any but registered phar-
miSts.
1T prohibits soliciting orders
for liquor in person, by telegraph,
telephone, circulars, signs or any
other way. 1t provides that reg
istered pharmists may sell liqu-
ors, except beer, for medical.
mechanical, scientific and sacra-
mental purposes, only after hav-
ing permit to sell such liquors
from the commissioner Of prohi-
bition.
Liquor may be sold for medi-
cinal purposes on PHYSICIANS pre-
scriptions only,which prescription
may not be reflled.
Liquor may be sold for mech
anical and scientific purposes and
wine for sacramental purposes on
a sworn affidavit of the purchas-
er. Registered pharmacists are
required to have a certain stamp
or label on every package or bot
tie of liquor sold which stamp or
label is furnished by the commits
sioner of prohibition. This, of
course, will require that he shall
purchase all liquors from whole
salers in this state, and we can in
this way keep a check on all the
liquor he receives and on the
liquor he sells as well.
Some OF The Penalties
Punishment for violating the
law will be a fine of S250to 81, 900
or Imprisonment from 30 to 90
days in Jail or by both such fine
and imprisonment and in addi-

ton thereto for the first convic-
ton forfeits his permit to sell
liquor forever, and on second
conviction forfeitS his certificate
of registration as a pharmacist
for five years. A physician may
write prescriptions for liquor on
ly after having secured a permit
! therefor from the commissioner
of prohibition and punishment
for writing a prescription con-
trary to law is a fine or imprison-
ment and in addition thereto the
automatic revocation of his per
NIT and the revocation of his IL
Cense to practice medicine in the
state for five years.
Permits are granted to the
druggists and physicians by the
commissioner of prohibition after
hearing in which any person
may appear and offer reasons
why such permit should not be
granted and the commissioner of
prohibition may grant the permit
in his discretion. Any applicant
may appeal from the decision of
the commissioner to a licensing
board made up of the governor,
attorney general and prohibition
commissioner, a majority of whom
shall decide the question and
from which decision there shall
be no appeal.
The commissioner of prohibi-
tion may revoke the permit of
druggist or physician any time
upon a showing that the trust
has been abused. No one can
secure a permit to sell liquor un-
less he is the owner or manager
of drug store, or if he is not a
person of good moral character,
or if he uses Intoxicating liquors
as beverage, or if he has not
conducted a pharmacy in the
same location for one year prior
or has been convicted of violat-
ing any intoxicating liquor law
of this or any other state.
Transportation of liquor from
any point in the state to any other
point in the state is prohibited,
except to retail pharmacists au-
thorized to sell intoxicating liqu-
or. Delivery by any common
carrier to any person under a
fictitious name is prohibited, as
well as delivery to any other than
the consignee in person.
mo person is permitted to re-
Ceive any Intoxicating liquors in
excess of one quart of spurious
or distilled liquors or three gal
Ions of brewed liquors in any
calendar month.

Mr.. Frank Harris Jr. returned Sat
urday night from the training camp
near Chattanooga, where he has been
for the last few months. He failed
to obtain a commission, but the fact
that he remained at the camp until
the last few days of the term of
training shows that he came very
near reaching the high mark set for
all successful candidates. However,
he has not wasted any time and the
government hasn't lost any money on
him. He has learned the duties of q
soldier and is far better able to in
struct company than almost any
national guard captain would have
been a couple of years ago. When
his time comes to go into the army
as it probably will soon, he is certain
of a sergeantcy, and his friends ara
sure that it will not take him long
to win commission. Meantime, they
are glad to have him home again.

would not sanction its purchase?
Again he was asleep at the switch.
If you want TO see a monument of
an useless purchase, go look at that
field in front of the Atlantic Coast
Line passenger station. That field be-
longs to the city. 1t used TO belong
to man who doesn't live here AS
he couldn't use the field, he wanted
to sell. With the assistance of Mayor
(for few weeks with Mayor Rob-
ertson, he unloaded on the city. He
received $4,000 in cash for his lot.
It strained the towns finances to
raise the money. The lot has never
been worth anything to the town. It
is true that the Carnegie library is
perched on small part of it. But
much better lot for the library could
have been secured for less than
thousand dollars. In fact, one good
citizen offered to give lot for it. So
the "Civic Center" lot has been that
much dead loss. Whenever you hear
Mr. Robertson talking about how he
saved money for the city, lead him
gently to the corner of Oklawaha and
Osceola avenues and let him gaze
upon that lot.
Notwithstanding his self-laudation,
we doubt that there will be any sal
walton for Ocala in Mr.. Robertson's
election. The city council will con-
tinue to govern Ocala. We hardly
think it will agree with Mr.. Robert
son. A council made to order for
him was elected a few years ago, and
| in less than six months he was de-
manding that certain of its members
resign. All the effect his election will
have on the city will be the resump-
| ton Of the same old row.
| Mr.. Robertson speaks of the secret
meetings of a little band of patriots
to raise a fund to defeat him. If il
was secret meeting. how did he find
it out? And since he has found it
out, why not go further and tell us
who were at the meeting and how
much did they raise?
How about the "secret meetings
that Mr.. Robertson and his few GRO
MES delight in? And those other
meetings, that wherever two or three
/ gather together in the name of dis
content, 10. there he is in the midst
of them?
There is nothing to Mr.. Robert
sons candidacy except his opinion
that nobody is fit to boss this town
but himself.
But this town doesn't want any
boss.
