Laws, Court Decrees.
Old Treaty Fails To Stand Test Of
Civilization in Washington.
Olympm, Wash.The supreme
court has handed down two im
portant decisions affecting the
rights of Indians under treaties
made in 1859, which, the Indians
said, gave them the right to "h'shIsland
in their accustomed places
One is the case of the State of
Washington, appellant, against
Alec Towessnute, Benton county.
Towessnute was arrested under
orders from State Fish Commis
sioner Darwin for "fishing with
out a license snagging salmon
with a gaff hook, and catching fish
without a hook and line within a
mile of the dam in the Yakima
river, off the Yakima Indian res
ervation, contrary to the fishing
laws of the state." A test suit
was made of the case.
Towessnute's defense was that
under the Yakima Indian treaty of
1859, ratified by Congress, Indians
were given the right to fish in us
ual and accustomed places, "in
common with citizens of the terri-
tory." He contended that in ex
change for thp territory the In
dians gave up to the whites they
were to have the privilege of fish
mg in these accustomed places
without having to submit to sub
sequently enacted fishing laws.
The lower court found for the
Indians and sustained the de
murrer interposed by Towessnute.
The supreme court in a sweep
ing decision affecting Indian
rights, reverses the case and says
the Indian treaties of 1859 cannot
be held to be paramount to regu
lations enacted by the state in the
exercise of its police power under
the enabling act. The court .says:
"lie (the Indian) should have
equal, but not more than equal
rights." The aborigines, in other
words, must be held amenable to
the same police power, outside of
their reservation, us the whites.
The court says even if the treaty
were not held to have been
abridged by the enabling act, its
terms cannot be construed so as to
give Indians/the right to fish free
from restriction, but they must be
under the same restriction as the
"people of the territory." The
court scorns the theory that the
Indians^ and whites entered into
the treat,v as two sovereign peo
ple, and that therefore the Indians
"ceded" rights and lands to the
whites.Ex.

Agd Indian Indorses Kis
Check With Thumb
lied Wing, Minn.A strangely
indorsed bank check is in the pos
session of H. Tiedeman, chair
man of the board of county com
missioners. It bears the thumb
print of an aged Indian on Prairie
and without it the check
would be worthless. Samuel
Thomas, living on the Prairie Is
land reservation, is one of the few
remaining members of the Sioux
tribe who has money coming from
the government. When he is short
he calls on Mr. Tiedeman. The
other day the government agent
called on Thomas and the aged In
dian had the cheek turned over to
Mr. Tiedeman in payment for
goods received. As he cannot
write, the thumb print signature
was placed on it.Ex.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube "When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever, nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deifness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure

The sleepy Lithuanian town c!
Minbk, Russia, has been taiboung a
man who has married twenty women
John Pries* twentieth wife had him
arrested the other day for "bigamy,'
but at the trial it developed that be
had committer polygamy. With great
confidence the accused called some of
his wi\es to testify in his behalf, and
jach one of them spoke highly of him
In his defense Pries testified
know there is some law about a man
having only one wife, but, your honor
I know there are many morp wom^n
than men in Minsk and I could not
bear to see so many fine women be
come old maids." The judge dealt
mercifully with him, sentencing hlu
to only three month* in prison.
Probably True.
"Say," said the farmer, who was em
loading potatoes at the grocery, "AQ
you believe that story about little
George Washington and the hatchet
nd the cherry tree?"
"Don ask me," laughed the grocer.
"Well, I think it is probably true.
I've got a boy ten years old at home,
and after he had teased me *ur a yeai
or so I bought him a boy's ax."
**And did he cut down your favorlta
cherry ti
e'"
"He did a heap better than that
He cut down most of the apple or
chard orchard."
"And did he tell a lie about it?"
"Nope. Owned up Hk'j a little
man."
"And, like Washington, you praised
him?"
"Unlike Washington, I didn't do
any such blamed thing. I gave him
a hiding on the spot, and have licked
him once a day since and am going
to kaep it up until is twenty-fiv
vaars old."
