United States Indian Agent Simon Michel et and his office force are making the long looked for stumpage payment. The agent -will disburse $92,000 in all . about J5O.000 of which has already been paid out. For the past two days the agency has been the scene of great business activity. The agency office from 8 a. m. until 5 p. m. is a crowded mass of Indians eagerly awaiting their turns to be permitted to enter the pay office to touch the pen an receive their checks. The perc&plta is $19.43. all the bands belonging on the White Earth reservation and the Mille Lacs Indians participating. This makes the Indians wealthy for the time being, but money is being spent very freely. The traders are doing a big business. In dians may be seen at almost all hours of the day driving or walking out of the vil lage laden with dry goods, groceries, etc. Next to the traders, the blindpigs are perhaps getting the largest share of the business. Last night pure alcohol was Selling at $5 a pint, mixed at $2.50 a pint, and by the drink from 76 cents to $1 was freely paid. Agent Michelet is doing all in his power to suppress this traffic. H e has caused Rfe-veral arrests and lias the agency *ua house almost full of prisoners. The depu. ty United States marshal Is making al most dally trips to the agency for either prisoners or witnesses. The matter is now' fairly under control and the great majority of the Indians are orderly and well disposed. N o seriotis trouble is expected, as Agent Michelet is confident he will be able to . control affairs and punish all offenders.

APPLBTON, WIS.Through an investi- gatiQib completed' to-day.by the Outagamie county board of supervisors and county court it has been proven that Mrs. Ryka Melcher of Black Creek, has been con tent to live for sixteen years as an al leged insane pauper ana her parents have been content to let her so appear, that the cost of her maintenance might be paid by the county. In July, 1887, Mrs. Melcher was exam ined in county court- and declared in sane. For some unexplained reason the court allowed her to return to her father's home, where she has remained since, the cost of her maintenance being paid by Outagamie county, though she has at all times been able to work and was to-day declared by a commission of physicians and the court to be mentally sound and presumably in that condition all the tim?. The story of Mrs. Meleher's life Is a peculiar One. Twenty-two years ago she was a servant In Appleton, and here met and married Peter Melcher. They re moved to Black Creek, bought a farm, and by hard work and economy amassed a competence: Soon after their marriagre Mrs. Melcher developed a severe sore throat, which grew^ rapidly worse until within a few years It became so bad that food had to be administered to her through a tube. At this time Melcher in duced her to consent to a sale of the farm and took her to Cincinnati for treatment in a hospital. He paid her board in the hosrjital' two months in advance, and then taking their children disappeared and has never since been heard of. At the ex piration of two months the authorities of the hospital sent her home to Black Creek. Upon her arrival application was at once made to the authorities of the town for compensation for her ' maintenance, which was paid for a time, and then after two ineffectual attempts the woman was Anally -declared insane and the cost of her maintenance saddled upon the county. At none of the four examinations as to her sanity did she protest against being considered insane, and upon the last examination resulting- in her sanirV beiny established she showed no evidence of satisfaction.

The Nor wich mine, in the same district, has also been bought recently by western men. Several old mines in Keweenaw county have changed hands, and more or less mining will be done on several old prop erties this season. Thus the peculiar spec tacle is presented of financial cross-cur rents, by which the lake is finding money to develop western mines, while western mining men are engaging in lake mining.

Representative Everett' and Hiss Kolb Are Now Busy Seeking Legal Advice. Special i The Journal. , ".'-. Helena, Mont., Feb. 28.When Repre sentative Robert Brownlce of Sweet Grass county learned that Representative Ev erett was a justice of the peace he decmcu himself a lucky man. What Miss Carrie Kolb of Cascade county thought slie kont inviolably to harself. and last evening they were seeking legal advice to discoAcr whether or not they are legally married. The whole trouble arose through a "josh." There were twenty or thirty mem bers and committee clerks in one of the committee rooms and some were twitting Brownlee on being a confirmed old bach elor. BrOwnlee denied the allegation and said that if he could get any one to marry him he would marry immediately. Miss Kolb said she was willing to help him out and a ring was accordingly borrowed from Representative Allen of Deerlodge, and Everett of. Ghoteau performed what was supposed at the time to be a mock cere mony. After the performance was over, how ever,: Everett solemnly declared he was a justice of the peace and that.the cermony was binding. Miss Kolb fled in confusion, but Brownlee could not escape and bad to submit to receiving the congratulations of hiq fellow members. When -the - house reconvened resolutions of congratulation were passed and Brown lee was called upon to respond. He was equal to the occasion and declared . that if any way could be found to make the contract legal he would not object. The young lady remained invisible and there was no opoprtunity of finding out how she looked upon the matter. As there was no marriage license pro cured in advance and no certificate given. and a s Representative Everett is a justice of the peace only for Choteau county, it is the general opinion tho ceremony Is not binding. It is possible, however, judging from the remarks of Mr. Brownlee, that the incident may be the beginning of a romance which will end in a genuine cere ,mony. Brownlee is a wealthy stockman.
