j Perry, Ok., Oet. 2'.). The law
passed by the legislature of 18!H)
requiring persons living on In
dian reservations attached to
counties for judicial , purposes
was declared unconstitutional last
Saturday by Judge Bayard T.
Ilaiuer, Bittiug as district Judge.
The question came up ou an ap
plication of cattlemen in the
Ponca and Otoe Indian reserva
tions and tbc Atchison, Topeka v
Santa Fc railroad eonmaiiy for
that pari of its road bed in these
reservations to enjoin Xoblf
county from collecting oilier than
court and territorial taxes. Judge
llainer held that attached Indian
reservations , were a part of the
counties for taxing purposes and
that the law was unconstitutional
and Void for the reason that the
organic act requires that all pro
perty shall be taxed at its real
value and the law made a dis
crimination in favor of properly
iu attaching reservations. The
case will be carried to the sup
reme court.

proximately to live million dollars

brief speech here. His train had
been run from New Yrfrkto Buin

of the ''Rambler," where he was

both for Mr. Bryan and bis wife,
and a general demand for a hand
shake, which was acceded to by
lxth. The resident population
had been reinforced by train loads
from other places.
Mr. Bryan started the day with
a schedule of thritty speeches be
fore him, but he announced at the
breakfast table that he was never
in better condition for tho cam
paign, and said that he wanted to
make all the speeches on tho pro
gramme, so as to break his ow n
record. The highest number
which he has hitherto made in one
day is twenty-seven.
