Warner, a Beloit aeroplane enthusiast, announced the perfection of his device to determine the rate of speed an hour of an aeroplane. The Aerometer, which is the name Mr Warner has given the device, is the first of its kind. It is operated up on the principle of an automobile speed indicator. Pressure of the wind upon four metal cups causes their revolutions and the rate of speed is indicated upon a dial. By the use of a peculiar delicate mechanism the actual wind velocity is overcome so that the dial figures tell exactly the rate of speed being accomplished. OBITUARY. Rear Admiral William J.

A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in a way so sim ple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it. “I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years,” she says, “ansl suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them 1 weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day a woman doctor told me to use Postum. She said I looked like I was coffee poisoned. “So I began to drink Postum and I gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and continued to gain, but not so fast as at first. My headaches be gan to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks —long enough to get the coffee poison out ol' my sys tem. “Since I began to use Postum I can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that made me well. Before I used Postum I never went out alone; I would get bewildered and would not know which w _ ay to turn. Now Igo alone and my head is as clear as a bell. My brain and nerves are stronger than they have been for years.” Read the little book, “The Road to Weilville,” in pkgs. “There’s a Rea son.” Ever read the above letter?

POOR REDS HAVE NO MORE RIGHTS THAN A MINOR CHILD. Wakpala, S. 8., Jan. 12. —Inspector McLaughlin is holding what will prob ably be the last council the govern ment will ever have with the Sioux Indians. His mission is to Inform tthe Indians that a bill has been in troduced in congress to take away from them the last of their domain, except the portion which they hold as individual allotments. Prior to the Lone Wolf decision of the supreme court of the United States, in 1903, it was supposed that tthe Idians naa an inalienable right ■to their lands, which had been granted to them by treaty. The court found, however, that Indians held the position of a minor child i among the whites, and that congress could dispose of their surplus lands as it saw fit, without consulting the Indians in any way. Congress has not been slow to take advantage of the ruling, and in the short space of six years has practl cally opened the entire country west of the Missouri river. It is a pathetic sight, this last meeting of the veteran inspector and his Indian wards. The Ind an knows nothing about the white man’s courts. Jrle knows that the white man for many years has been crowding him closer and closer to the wall, and now the end has come. The Indian will not get out and bus tle. He will starve in a dignified way, being now utterly subdued, but he will not plow and sow and reap. It is doubtless part of the Indian s constittuional obstinacy that he pre fers to ride horseback, herd cattle and endure the hardship if a cowboy life. The lands where the cattle are roaming in their tens of thousands, where the last of the antelope are, where the streams are teeming with beaver, and where no white man can go without the government’s per mission, are to be given to the home- I steader. It is doubtless for the good of the i greatest number that the last of the | great ’‘Sioux reservations should be ! thrown open to settlement, but there ' are many who will regret the passing of the range. One probable result will be a still further rise in the price of beef, or it is on the Cheyenne and Standing Rock reservations that the largest cattle ranches in the United States are. The settler and home steader are not stock raisers, as a rule; they confine their attentions to grain raisng. I The eastern boundary of the lands to be opened is the Missouri river, from the mouth of the Cannon Ball river in North Dakota to the mouth of the Cheyenne river in South Da kota, a distance of about 150 miles. The western boundary is irregular, varying from forty to eighty miles west of the Missouri river. The country is a magnificent one, selected by the Sioux for their per manent home fifty years ago. Out side of the Black Hills, htere is no better timbered country in South Da-, kota, and nowhere in the two states: is there so well watered a region. The Stnading Rock portion is fairly gridironed with railroads, there being seven branches of railroad already built and building, with other pro jected. Wakpala, McLaughlin, Fort; Yates and Cheyenne River are the. only towns in the entire tract. There are 6,000 Indians on the j Standing Rock and Cheyenne reserva tions. The fullbloods are decreasing: at the rate of about eighty per year; the mixed bloods are increasing. To the old people the opening of their lands is a tragedy they can hardly bring themselves to realize. Many of the young people are rather pleased than otherwise. CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY Washington, Jan. 10.—The adoption, without a dissenting voice, of the joint resolution introduced by Senator Jones providing for an investigation of the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, was the chief feature of interest in the senate today. It was adopted as a substitute for the house measure passed last Friday, after having been amended, however, so as to provide that the house members of the in vestigating committee be elected by the house, which is in acco"dance with the house vote of last Friday. The resolution was reported as a sub stitute by the senate public lands committee and obtained immediate consideration. It was promptly adopted as amended. House Stands by National Guard. Terming the avowed policy of econ omy of tha Taft administration "a political exigency,” which would net prove economy in the long run, Repre sentative Hay, of Virginia, made an earnest plea against curtailing the $1,350,000 appropriation for national guard encampments, while the army appropriation bill was before the house. An amendment offered by Mr. Mann, of Illinois, reduced the appro priation to $1,000,000 in the interest of economy. It was opposed by Mr. Prince, of Illinois, Mr. Sulzer. of New York, and others, and was voted down, only nine members supporting it. Mr. Mann was on his feet counting the demo crats who voted against the amend ment. Washington, Jan. 11. —After passing the army appropriation bill, carrying $95,200,000 for the fiscal year 1911, the house considered the white slave bill for the deportation and exclusion of immoral aliens engaged in prosti tution or similar offenses and for the exclusion, deportation and punish ment of their “procurers,” also for the punishment of persons making traffic in immoral women, either alien or native born, a subject of in terstate commerce. The Bill of Chairman Mann, of the commerce comittee, simply enlarges upon the interstate commerce feature of the pending measure as to prevent white slave traffic between states. The immigration committe seeks to exclude all undesirables, especially immoral women and men who traffic in them. Messrs. Rennet and Mann expressed a hope that both bills will pass. Mr. Mann indicated that he would try to have his measure called up as soon as the pending bill was disposed of. A custom of the house of represen tatives, followed for 50 years, was overturned by Congressman Dwight, of New York, republican whip, when he instructed a pair of clerks to cease pairing republican members, excepting under prescribed condi tions. ' The move is declared by democrats and insurgents to be a move againt the latter, and intended to give the organization additional leverage.
